CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

IN the senate, on the 22d, most of the time of
the short session (Which lasted only an hour
and three-quarters) was passed in waiting for
quorum, there being only thirty-two senators
present at roll call The sergeant-at-arms was
directed to request the attendance OF absent
senator's; and when quorum was reported
the leaders on the side of the majority re-
solved upon proceeding to the consideration of
executive business, which occupied the time
until As p m, when the senate adjourned :.
The house was not IN session on the 22d
In the senate, on the 23d, there was no quo
rum present and answering, and no business
whatever was attempted-even the reading of
Wednesdays journal and the presentation of
message from the president being prevented
by the failure of members to attend The SER
geant-at-armS was ordered to compel the at
tendance of absentees, and after an hours
weary waiting the senate adjourned .... In
the house the committee on naval affairs sub
mftted their report on the alleged armor-plate
frauds, accompanied with joint resolution to
have plates now on certain ships removed and
subjected to ballistic tests to determine their
quality. After discussion the joint resolution
was agreed to. One or two private bills were
passed. and the house adjourned.
IN the senate, on the oath, all but four min
utes OF the session was spent behind closed
doors. Eight or ten bills were taken from the
calendar and passed, as was a concurrent res
on the 2sth ..... In the house, the concurrent
adjournment resolution was passed. Another
unsuccessful effort was made to consider the
Hill bill for the exclusion and deportation of
anarchists Two or three unimportant meas
ures were passed, and after a session of an
hour the house adjourned until the 27th.
IN the senate, on the eth, the short session
OF an hour and quarter was held behind
closed doors. There matters OF legislative
character were disposed of, none Of them of
any general interest There were but twenty
three senators present In the house the
galleries were crowded by visiting Knights of
Pythias and the seats were almost deserted.
No business of Importance was transacted.

nounced as "perfidy" the bill of sale
which the senators had framed. In
order to carry any bill, duties had
been fixed on coal and iron ore and on
woolens and cottons, and pledges had
been given that all should stand or fall
together. But the president insists
upon free coal, and declares 1t dis
honor and perhdy to tax raw ma
terials. Then Senator German an
swers that the president was pledged
to the Mills bill, which put the tax on
coal at seventYflve cents per ton, and
that there is but one concern in the
world to which free coal would give
any especial benefit" He describes
the contract by which the Canadian
government, for twelve cents per ton
royalty, gave exclusive control of the
Nova Scotia coal fields to capitalists OF
the Canadian Pacific and certain
gentlemen within our own country as
sociated with them" and says:
Here are Boston and Providence and New
England, which consume the soft coal OF the
two Virginias. Maryland and Pennsylvania
We are nearer to IT, the Canadians said:
we can deliver the coal there and drive the
Americans out OF their own territory. Give us
free coal. and we will sweep this American In
dustry from New England. II you do you will
place in the Canadian treasury money which
ought to 60 into the American treasury. You
were thus asked to permit the greatest combi-
nation Of its kind to enter the United States.
Mr.. President. we have trusts enough to deal
with now. l shall never agree that foreign
trust shall enter our territory. and take the
substance from our people"
1t is obvious enough that the people
of the two Virginias, Maryland and
Pennsylvania will be disposed to ap-
prove the position Ct the senator in
this matter, and not that of the presi-
dent who acts as agent for the Cana
dian government and the Nova Scotia

SUGAR AND WHITEWAsH.
Dhgrace of the Democracy In tho Tariff
TangIe.

The report Of Senator Gray's com
mittee on the sugar scandal was pro-
nounced by the New York Herald
''whitewashing report" In spite of
which "the scandal that has sur
rounded the manipulation Of the
sugar schedule will remain as one of
the most disgraceful chapters in the
history of American legislation" The
Herald shows that the main charge to
be Investigated, whether legislation
had been promised in return for con-
tributions to the democratic campaign
fund in 1892, the committee left with
out Satisfactory answer" and it did
not even call the men who could have
testified from knowledge. The mem
bers of the campaign committee who
did testify were carefully not asked
this question. The republican mem
bers of the committee point out that
the sugar schedule as it stands is in
the form desired by the sugar trust
although with the exception of five or
six men at most the senate was unani-
mously of the opinion that the refiners
should not have had SO much protec-
ton.
Senator Gorman's public declaration
In his great speech on the presidents
letter admitted that a duty on sugar
was distinctly promised during the
campaign of 1892 to Senator's Gibson
and White, Of Louisiana. These sena-
tors had conferred first with the pres
ident, then the candidate who. in the
words of Mr.. German, told them that
the democratic party was not to de-
stroy industries, that it should place a
fair duty upon dutia BILE articles, a rev

enue duty; that the bill which had met
ap prevail was the Mills bill, and on the
lines Of the Mills bill the democratic
party would act" The Mills bill con
tanned graduated duty on raw and
an additional protective duty on re-
fined sugar. Then the senator related
that be with Senators Brice and Smith
were Of the campaign committee, and
were waited upon by the Louisiana
senators after they had seen the presi-
dent, and. says Mr.. German, I'VE all
said yes. it is dutiable article; it is
to be and must be the cornerstone by
which we will overthrow Mckinley
ism: you shall have it, He further
said that he would have been glad to
get free sugar, but no one had ever
known him to break pledge.
This IS straightforward and manly
admission that the democratic candi-
date and organization were bound by
formal pledge to favor duty on
sugar, and more than that, differ
ential duty for the refners such as the
Mills bill contained. But this state
ment omits anything about the alleged
reason for that pledge, or any contri-
button by the sugar interest to the
campaign fund Right there the in
vestigating committee took 50 much
care not to get at the truth that the
public is compelled to draw its own in
ference And now it appears, from
statements made in democratic jour
nails, that the president was willing to
20 even further than the senate had
rome in its bill of SALE" and to make
the differential duty for refners fifth
instead of an eighth of a cent. 1t is
further stated that the latest schedule
Is vet retained. but as to phraseology
and detail, the Herald says, the con-
ference committee has the assistance
and cooperation of Secretary Carlisle
and the advisory counsel of the presi-
1ent."
If the three senators who were OF
the democratic campaign committee
and the candidate who is now presi-
dent all made pledge to the sugar in
berest, and are laboring to carry it out,
bow comes the row between them?

A Cotton-PickiDg Machine.

Eli Whitney, of New Haven, Conn,
grandson of the famous inventor of the
cotton gin, has invented machine
which may revolutionize cotton-picl1-
ing. The Whitney harvester, as the
machine is called, resembles an ordi-
nary grain harvester. The mechanism
is operated by an endless chain at
tached to one of the rear wheels Of the
harvester A series of vertical cylin-
ders, suspended from the bottom Of
the wagon with hooks and rolls at
tached, gathers the cotton from the
plant and drops the pods into basket
as the harvester drives over the field.
BY means of this machine two men and
two horses can harvest as much cotton
as 100 workmen. Experiments already
made show that the amount of cotton
harvested is about IS per cent. Of the
amount of the field. Mr.. Whitney owns
the factory in which his grandfather
worked near Lake Whitney, in New
Haven, and perfected his invention
there.
