AS TO STANFoRD's STUFF.
Hoar Il Anxious TO Have the Matter
Looked Into.


WASHINGTON, June For several
hours Senators Aldrich and Allison con-
ferred with Harris and Coke. Aldrich
says II Is likely an agreement will be
reached to proceed with the schedules of
the tariff bill until wool is reached under
q five minute rule. and finish them this
week 30 the wool schedule can be taken
up Monday. As to the time for taking a
fiuAl vote, he said no agreement could be
had, nor could he predict whom the vote
would come, as the discussion OF the wool
and income tax may be prolonged.
At 2o'clock Harris proposed the agree
ment in the senate, with q Modification
that senators might speak for 10 minutes.
II was discussed by Hoar and Frye. Quay
came In, asked what was before tho sem
ate and objected. This killed the agree
ment temporarily. Aldrich, after con-
sultation with Quay. said ho thought it
probable the latter would withdraw his
objection tomorrow morning and allow
the agreement to take effect.
Tho action of the attorney general
claiming sl5, 900 900 from the estate OF Le-
land Stanford occupied tho attention OF
the senate until the tariff bill was taken
up. The question arose upon resolution
introduced by Hoar. instructing the com.
mittee on judiciary to pass upon the equity
Of the claim and whether ii could not be
set at rest.
Carey said II was singular that no mem-
Der Of the senate had attempted to ex-
plain the schedules Of the bill under con.
sideration or to tell tho effect upon the
industries of the country. No man on tho
democratic side had constitutionally de-
Tended the measure. Each had in tho
course damned II with more or less sever
ity. Carey made comparison Of the Will
son bill and said the house did not make
conspicuous exceptions by placing all ag-
ricultural products on the FREQ list while
protecting their own interests. which was
so apparent in tho senate bill. An at
tempt had been made by the senate to
crafty the agricultural interests OF the
southern states, but nowhere else.
He declared that now the speculator
was In Canada and Mexico, buying horses,
cattle and sheep In anticipation of the bill
and these cattle would be brought to this
country as soon as the bill becomes law.
He then entered upon careful defense Of
tho present law and pointed out the bcne-
fits which had grown out of it, and de-
Tended at length the protective system.
Carey then discussed with considerable
detail the production Of coal in tho United
States and compared It with the Wyoming
output. Iron and steel also formed an
important part in his arguments in behalf
Of tho protective system. By quoting
from figures Of the census Office. he as
serted that the West was going ahead Of
the South and claimed this was owing to
the fact that the West took advantage OF
protection.
He devoted large portion Of his speech
to wool, and made an elaborate argument
in behalf OF protection of this industry,
which was of SO much Importance to his
state. The sheep industry, he said, is an
interesting one in all the states and terri.
tories, and cannot in any sense be called
q sectional one. The number of people
employed is ,2l5, ,0C0, with estimated cap
ital of s5l0.0O0.o 900. The sheep industry
was not in the hands Of trusts or combi'
nations. The wool growers Of the
Rocky mountain states could not
| compete with those of South
America, Mexico and Australia,
Carey entered upon discussion of the
wool growing interest, as IL partially ap
piled to his own state. and discussed the
effect which the present bill would have
upon the sheep growers Of Wyoming
claiming it would destroy many small
wool growers and ultimately crush out ths
entire sheep industry. He said the United
States had now about 100000; II IL haC
| 100, ,Ooo, 900 all the wool consumed in tn,
United States would he produced at home
Retain the Mckinley law and this result
would be brought about, but enact th'
measure under consideration and sheeI
