THE PORTER NOMINATION.
No Action Taken by the Senate-Har
ris for COnfirEln ton.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The Senate had
the nomination of Hon. ]. 3. Porter to the
United States district judgeship of the
Eastern and Middle district of Tennessee
under consideration in executive session
for an hour and half to-day, but ad-
journed without action on account of the
disclosure of the absence Of a quorum
Senator Pugh, as chairman of the judi
ciary committee, which had made an ad-
verse report on the nomination, made a
brief statement to the effect that the ac-
ton Of the committee had been controlled
by two circumstances, one of which was
the fact that he not resident of the
preside and the other his age. He said
that Judge Porter was now sixty-siX years
old, and would in four years be eligible to
retirement. He did not think it proper to
select men of such advanced age and
liable under the law to become
pensioners on the government for judicial
positions Otherwise he had no objections
to the nomination. Senator Bate opposed
the confirmation on the ground of nonresi-
dence. saying there We're many lawyers in
the district competent TO perform the du-
ties of Judge. Senator Harris contended for
confirmation, and spoke of the general fit
ness of Mr.. Porter by reason of education,
experience and training. and, while he ad-
a vigorous man, and would, in all proba-
bility serve for many years if confirmed.
While he did not live in the district, he
was u resident of the State and the selec-
ton was not remarkably irregular on this
account.

Senator Murphy's Resolution Modified
and Adopted by Majority That
Showed the Temper of the Senate.
SPEECH BY JOHN SHERMAN
Attention Called to the Many
Errors i'm the Tariff Bill.
Senator White Made a Member of the
Finance COmmittee-Harris Still
Working for the House Measures.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The Senate
has decided that there shall be no further
legislation over which there is a contest
at this session of Congress by adopting
Mr. Murphy's resolution to that effect by
a good majority. Indeed, it is doubtful if
anything could have been done even with
out the adoption of this resolution. for it
was impossible to secure a working quorum
to-day on any party division, and other
Senators are about to leave the city. The
resolution appointing Mr.. White, of Cali
fornia, a member of the finance COM
mittee, was agreed to unanimously. Mr..
Gray's resolution instructing the commit
tee on finance TO report the free sugar
bill Immediately, with an amendment put
ting a fiat duty upon sugar, did not
fare WELL and went over without
ton owing to the lack of a quorum. An
other resolution was offered by Mr.. Lind
say declaring it the sense of the Sen
ate that Congress should not adjourn with
out striking out of the tariff bill the ben
effts it gives the Sugar Trust, which
amended by including the whisky Trust,
and, s amended, it went over under OBJ
lection. AT 2:20 the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session, and at $40 adjourned.

ANGRY AT CARLISLE
RumOr that the President Left
Washington in a Huff.
He Is Said to Have Been Wroth Over
the Secretary's Sugar Letter and
Will Demand His Resignation.
SAVED BY HIS FRIENDS
Senator Mcpherson Induced to
Withhold His Resignation.
River and HarbOr Bill Law Without
the Presidents Signature-POrter
Nomination Not Yet Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-One of the SEN
atorial letters anent the tariff bill is that
the President, before leaving Washington,
was so angry at Secretary Carlisle for
having furnished the Senate with that let
ter in opposition to the free sugar bill that
his resignation is to be demanded, and that
Wilson, of West Virginia, chairman of
ways and means, is to be appointed Sec
retary of the Treasury. The rumor is
probably without adequate basis, but it il
lustrates the excited condition of feeling
in the Democratic party. The President
has undoubtedly hoped that the Senate
might pass the popgun bills, especially the
free coal bill. His whole heart seems to
have been set upon that measure. To the
enactment of a free coal bill the entire en-.
ergies of the administration have been di-
rected. The President could not have been
more interested in that measure if his
tire personal fortune had been involved
in 1t.
1t is stated that the President did not
know Secretary Carlisle was to write that
letter, and that he has called at the White
House since, but that the President de-
clined see him. Whether this is true or
not, rs known TO be a fact that Secretary
Carlisle, from the beginning, has been ear
nestly in favor of the Senate tariff bill,
the sugar schedule of which was orgi-
nally drafted by his own hand. 1t is known,
moreover, that in the recent contest be-
tween the House and Senate Secretary
Carlisle took the side of the Senate. For
. this reason he was not called into con-
sultation by the President in the numer-
Gus midnight conferences which were held.
He was present at only one of these meet
alt
retary Lamont were always there. 1t nat
urally created much surprise that when
the President was holding private meet
ings with members of his Cabinet as TO
the tariff bill the Secretary of the Treas
ury was not present.
The letter of Secretary Carlisle, prob
ably, was not seen by the President until
1t appeared in the newspapers, and it will
help 10 prevent the consideration of any of
the pop-gun bills. There was no probability
that they could have been enacted had the
letter of Carlisle not been written; but the
letter of Carlisle is to be used as a pre-
text to defeat them. Undoubtedly the Pres
ident is indignant.

WOULDN'T LET HIM RESIGN.
Friends Induced Him to
Change His Mind

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Nc
Pherson came near rendering his resigna-
ton as a Senator from New Jersey to-day.
He went so far as TO procure blank form
Of resignation and was preparing to fill il
out when some Of his friends learning
of his decision. went to him and succeeded
in persuadlng him to forego his resolution.
They found him at first quite determined
upon resgning. and only after much argu-
ment Influenced him to change his mind.
The Senator gives his reason for de-
string 10 be rid Of his official responsible
ties that his health was very much bro
ken. and. as be desired to be absent for
an indefinite length of time, he had con-
cluded that the honorable course for him
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-08-19

was TO vacate his seat that some one else
might be chosen to act His friends repre-
sented 10 him that the session was rapidly
drawing to a close; that the adop-
tion OF the Murphy resolution was
positive evidence that no further
important legislation could be en-
acted before final adjournment, and.
consequently. there was nothing to prevent
him going away and remaining until next
winter. They also called his attention
TO the fact that the next session would con-
tnue only three months, and would not
probably be very exacting on members.
Furthermore. they called the Senator's at
tentiOn to the awkward condition in which
his resignation at the present time would
leave New Jersey politics. The Governor
of the State was a Democrat, and would. il
he should appoint successor, select
Democrat but the Legislature is Repub-
lican, and Is called TO meet in extra Ses-
sion in October next 1t is highly probable,
therefore that Republican would be cho-
sen 10 fill the time of the Senator which
will expire on the 81 of next March, if he
should resign. These representations were
apparently convincing to Mr.. Mcpherson,
and the resignation did not go in.
1t is understood that the Senator will
leave Washington Immediately, and. in
view of the prospective early close of the
session, will not return. He contemplates
trip TO Europe with the hope of securing
perfect restoration to health

WITHOUT HIS SIGNATURE.
Cleveland Allows the River and Har-
bOr Bin to BECOME Law.

bor Bill to BecOme Law.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The river and
harbor bill, carrying s11, 1,479, $50, became a
law at midnight tonight without Presi
dent Cleveland's signature, the legal limit
of ten days having expired within which
he could sign or veto it. It is the third
time during Mr.. Clevelands two terms
that a river and harbor bill has become q
law without his approval, the only other
bill of the kind submitted to him having
been vetoed. Fears were expressed up to
late hour to-day that the present bill
would be vetoed, as Mr.. Cleveland made
ii known to the river and harbor managers
several months ago that he did not want
the total of the bill to exceed ten mill
propriationS on most of the river and
harbor projects, about four-fifths from the
estimates. that the total of So, $50 al
lowed by the House was about one-fifth
of what the army engineer asked to prose-
cute the work. In the Senate the bill was
raised to $l2,790,6S0 This led to an ami
mated struggle in conference. the House
vetoed unless il was much reduced. The
cOnferees finally reduced it to $l1,479,1S0,
and thus It was agreed to in both houses
and so went TO the President Aside from
the amount carried by the bill the sundry
civil appropriation bill also carries So. .400,-
600 for river and harbor contracts making
a total for this class of work of S19 S7S 1S0
This is about two millions less than the
amount given for river and harbor work
at the first session of the last Congress.
An important feature of the new bill is
that it authorizes no new contracts

from the new treaty with China. He says
it will prove most beneficial TO our COM
