minority but they did not care to frame
their position for quotation.
Two majority reports, denying the right
of the Secretary to use the cash paid in
for bonds for other purposes than resump-

signed by the democrats and the other by
the republicans who voted for the resolu-

The Ex-Presfdent'S Rrother

1t is said that the recent visit to this city
OF Mr.. ]. Scott Harrison Of Kansas City
has reference to his appointment to a fed
eral office, the precise nature Of which has
not been disclosed. The President is credit
ed with desire to do something Of this
kind for the democratic brother of his
predecessor in the presidential chair and II
Is said that he regards the Senate's rejec-
ton OF MS nomination as surveyor of Gus
toms at Kansas City as being due less to a
personal prsjudice against Mr.. Harrison
than to desire to meet the individual
wishes of the Missouri Senators in regard
10 that particular office. 1t Is understood
that they will offer no opposition to the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Harrison to an office out

conclusion he said
This bill blasts industries in my district
asked, and all that / do now ask, is that
the amendments which these trades unions
desired to have me offer should be laid
before the House, AMI a vote taken upon
them. Men talk about the interests OF
trades unions and mechanics and farmers
whenever a change in the tariff Is pro-
posed. Their interests are mine. Why.
sir, the district that l represent has in il
are 500 or 800 families living in one tene-
ment house in the district, and 500 per-
sons living on one block. They are tolay
without work. all in abject misery. You

desire to pass hill without giving these
working people an opportunity to be heard
without asking that the bill be amended
In some particulars SO as to insure them
but under the special order this will be
done. ! ask this House to continue the spe-
cial order until the amendments proposed
b. these trades unicns can be considered
and acted upon"
Then Mr.. Cooper of Texas took the floor
to get himself squarely before his peopl,
on the tariff issoe and he gave the bill n
boost that it nee1ed after Mr. Cumminrs'
assault. Mr.. Blanchard of Louisiana told
why the members Of the Delta state are
opposed to the bill. He spoke of sugar
with tears in his eyes. and gave a dread
full prophecy ss to the future Of the planta-
tions along the Mississippi river But. he
said. he would vote for the bill out of pure
party loyalty. for he hoped that the Senate
would so amend II that IL would not tread
so heavily or the toes of his people

THE LAST NIGHT SESSION
Tariff 0ratory Of Every Description Heard
in the House Last Night
Representatives Anxious to Talk ON
the Subject for the Benefit of
Their Constituents.

The sas-light sessions Of the House on the
tariff bill closed last night with blaze of
oratory There was pro-tarin AMI anti
tariff talk from every part OF the Union.
There were all sorts and conditions OF opin-
IONS and it seemed as though the friends
and enemies of the bill were all going up In
splendid fight of rockets. In fact, so
many members took the floor to say their
little last say on the bill that the issue OF
the Congressional Record that made its ap-
pea rance this morning was rot long enough
TO hold them all, not even their brief notices
that Mr.. So-and-so addressed the Commit
tee Ills remarks will appear hereafter
Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin first had the ear
of Chairman Enloe and his felloY speakers
of the evening and the stenegrapher ana the
galleries. He told what horrid tains free
trade is and what boon Is protection He
said real harsh things about the Wilson Dill,
and sat down to the tune Of considerable
hand clapping. Then Mr.. Baker Oh Kansas
gave the populist's view of the case, and
extolled the income tax to the skies He
did the regulation thing with capital and
labor and glowed in his descriptions of the
conditions of the farmer and the mllonalre
He blacked both the eyes or the typlcai
robber baron that has been used as a lay
figure throughout the debate, and sat down
to lust a little more applause than had
greeted Mr.. Cooper. Next Mr.. hooker OF
New York tried his hand. He switched the
discussion over into the republican cham
neis and SO kept up an interest that might
have been lacking If the debate had all been
one way He painted picture OF the pros
perity that almost smothered the land in
October 1892, and then, with a swift stroke
of his ten-inch brush, he changed the scene
and gave a parallel view Of the desolation
that swept over the land as soon as the
election returns had been received. The re-
nnblicans went into little fit Of ecstasy
when Mr. Hooker had finished and seemed
very glad they were on the wrong side, 1t
was such jolly fun.
Mr.. Hunter Of Illinois gave dissolving
view of the democratic theories OF the tariff
and the income tax, and swallowed the en-
fire hill. amendments and all. He was sue
ceeded on the floor by Mr. KEN, who classes
himself as an independent. but who, coming
from Broken Bow, Neb., in near proximity
to Medicine Lodge may be suspected of be-
ing lust a wee bit Of populist. He gave
corroborative evidence of such state OF
things last night in his speech, which fairly
reeked with Simpsonism and anti-everything
but the farmer.

SENATOR McrHERsoN's RRrURy.
What the Gossips Say as TO the Res-
sons Tint Changed His Plans.

Senator Mcpherson has returned to town
from the south and hopes to be able to go
on with his duty on the finance committee
OF the Senate in connection with the tari6
bill. This sudden change Of mind on the
part Of the Senator is attributed to GER
tain influences that have been brought to
bear on him since the announcement last
week of the appointment of Senator Mills
as his substitute on the committee The
people of New Jersey are very directly
interested in a revision OF the tariff sche-
dule. They look to Senator Mcpherson as
their apostle Of the Jersey belief in a mod
erately high tariff on certain articles and
IL is understood he received a number OF
protests against his going south when he
made the trip in the early part Of the ses-
sion.
His health. however, was really affected
and he was obliged to go. When he made
the request to Chairman Voorhees, to put
somebody on the committee in his place
his throat was in such shape that IL would
have returned TO Washington, but scarcely
had the news of Mr.. Mills appointment
reached New Jersey than letters and tele-
grams began to find their way to the Sena-
tors resting place. indicating to him that
the folks south Of New York do not relish
the prospect OF their representation being
transferred to the care of a Texan, whose
proclivities are known to lead toward free
trade.
Then He Came Back.
So great. indeed. was the pressure that
Mr.. Mcpherson determined TO swallow his
pique over the selection OF Senator Jones
of Arkansas to Sbe chairman of the sub
committee on the tariff bill and to risk his
throat with the Washington climate. rather
than to incur the displeasure of the people
of New Jersey. So he has come home ap-
parently jealous for service on the commit.
tee. Up to this time, however, he has beeo
unable to leave the house. for his physician
has given him orders TO rest from the Jour
neg from Aiken, g. G, before taking up
his work. He hopes to be able TO resume
his seat in the Senate next week Some
OF his friends. 1T is said. are now trying 10
persuade him 10 return south, for they
fear that he will become a martyr TO his
desire to please his constituents and VIII
permanently JeopardiZe his health IL ne
persists in staying here through the long
siege that IS certain TO come when the tsrt6
bill is sent to the Senate from the House.
