AFTER THREE MONTHS DEBATE THE
TARIFF BILL GOES THROUGH

BY Vote Of 80 to 80, strlct Party
Vote, Except Mr. Hill, Who was with
tho Republlovna-Two Populists Vote
Against the Hill and Two For eIt-An
Antitrust Law Placed on tho Bill 10 Z
Rider without Division.
WASHINGTON, July I'm tho midst
Of intense excitement at l0.4l p. m.,
after having been debated for three
months and one day, the tariff bill,
amended to take effect Aug. 1, 1894.
passed the senate BY q vote Of "a to 80,
astrict party vote, except Mr. Hill. who
voted with the Republicans against the
measure. The Populists divide their
strength, two, Messrs. Kyle and Allen.
voting in favor Of the bill. and two,
Messrs, PETER and Stewart, against it.
A very important piece Of legislation in
the shape of
An Antitrust Law
was placed on the bill as rider, with
out even so much as division. It was
designed, as Mr.. VOORHEES,, chairman Of
the finance committee, said, to ensure
'fntegrity in the execution of the law" :"
it being admitted that any tariff system
afforded abundant opportunity for the
formation of trusts and com mbinations.
The most dramatic incident of the
night occurred when Mr.. Hill arose,
and in ringing, -fervid tones, entered an
eloquent protest against the "Populistic
income tax and arraigned his party
associates for being false to their party
pledges and their. country. The Repub-
icans drew around him, as he spoke,
the galleries leaned over as he dealt his
sledge-hammer blows. When in con-
clusion he declared theatrically that he
would not support the bill, wave Of
applause, quickly checked by the vice
president, swept over the gallery.

in Chicago. When the blockade there

been subjugated, the imperfect condi-

here shows an improvement in this

WAsHNarox. July 9Just before
midnight President Cleveland issued
the following proclamation:
Whereas, BY reason Of unlawful oh.
structions, com binationsS and assem-
blages Of persons. it has become imprac-
ticable, in the judgment OF the presi-
dent to enforce by the ordinary course
Of Judicial proceedings, the laws Of the
United States within the state Of Illi-
nois, and especially in the City of Chi
cago within said state; and,
Whereas, That for the purpose Of en-
forcing the faithful execution of the
laws Of the United States and protect
ing its property and removing obstruc-
tions to the United States mail in the
state and city aforesaid, the president
has employed a part Of the military
forces Of the United States.
@ A Word Of Warning.
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president Of the United States, do her e.
by admonish all good citizens and all
persons who may be OF. may come
within the city and state aforesaid,
against aiding, countenancing, en-
couraging or taking any part in such
unlawful obstructions, combinations
and assem- mblages; and hereby warn all
persons engaged in or in any way con-
nected with such unlawful obstruc-
tions, combinations and assemblages to
disperse and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes on or before noon on
the 9TH day of July.
Those who disregard this warning
and persist in taking part with riot
Gus mob in forcibly resting and OBJ
structing the execution of the laws Of
the United States, Or
Interfering With the Functions
Of the government or attempting to de-
stroy the property belonging to the
United States or under its protection,
cannot be regarded otherwise than as
public enemies. The only safe course,
therefore, for those not actually unlaw-
fully participating is to abide at their
homes, or, at least, not to be found in
the neighborhood of riotous assemb-
lagos. While there will be no hesita-
tion or vaccilation in the decisive treat
ment OF. the guilty, this warning il es-
pecially intended to protect and save the
innocent. " r.. :-3;ss. :. ~
Practically Under Martial Law.
The proclamation, practically declar-
ing martial law in Chicago, was decided
upon after a full discussion in the cabi-
net meeting. '. -.' S.'''
This is the action which General
Miles has desired from the beginning,
as it will give him more ample author
ity in the city. None of the cabinet
officials were willing to discuss the
proclamation at the conclusion of the
conference, but the following dispatch,
which was sent from the war depart
ment to General Miles at Chicago,
serves in: measure to interpret the in
tention of the presidents action:
SIN view of the provisions of statute
and for the purpose of giving ample
warning to all innocent and we'll dis
posed persons, the president has deemed
it best to issue this proclamation"

QUITE A SUCCESS.
The Concert Given by Miss
Gertrude Aud.
The Young California Singer Warmly
Welcomed Back by Her
Friends.

A large audience was present in Golden
Gate Hall last evening to welcome the
popular young California singer. Miss
Gertrude Aud, back to the local concert
platform.
The entertainment began with vocal
number, Always More," sung by The
Loring quartet, but the interest of those
present did not seem to be thoroughly
aroused till Miss Aud appeared. She was
dressed in a gown of pale green silk.
trimmed with feele-colored lace. and the
way in which she walked on TO the plat
form and bowed in answer to the prolon ged
applause was pleasure TO behold. What
ever her singing might prove to be, it was
evident that she had mastered the difficult
and somewhat rare art Of walking grace
fully and unaffectedly on to a platform
and facing her audience easily and grace
fully.
Miss Auld's first aria was the 1orid
valse from Gounod's opera "Mreila."
She sang it with wonderful ease and fieXi-
bIlity, her clear Dlrdlike tones touching
the highest tones with as much ease as II
they had been notes in the middle register.
Once or twice also she showed particularly
delicious execution IN the passages where
she sang mezZa voce. These notes, in
deed, fell from her lips like pearls drop
ping softly.
the vocalizatiOn there was little expression
in the rendering of the waltz, neither did
Miss Aud attempt that most difficult of
vocal feats which every one who has heard
Emma Nevada during the last few years
in the role of 'Mireilla" has admired. Ne
vada begins one of The highest notes III the
waltz song, pianissimo, swells 10 a full
forte ana dies away with lingering sweet
ness long drawn out that arUuses not dp-
plause even from such critical audiences
as those of Milan and Madrid.
The comparison with Nevada is made
because there is great similarity between
her voice and That of Miss Aud. There
same telling use OF piano passages. In
deed, Miss Amid goes further than Ne
vada in The latter respect. Ia her singing
of 'Synnove's Song,"t by Kjerulf, for in
stance. she made one of her chief effects
out of tones so soft as to be scarcely
audible. OF course, this 'fourberia," or
trick" is perfectly legitimate and
artistic, and it helps to make a not very
powerful voice more effective. Ii is only
the highly accomplished singer who
knows how TO produce such effects
tellngly.
The one fault to be deplored in Miss
AuId's singing was d marked vlbrato,
which showed but little in f0rid songs
| like the "Mireilla" aria aud the PrOch "Air
and Variations" but was very plainly
visible in the more prolonged notes of her
| first encore. On the other hand, her enun-
citation both of French and English was
as excellent as the sweet quality of her
voice and her c0loratura.
The other performers all gave great sat-
iSfaction to the audience. Louis Heine
was warmly applauded for his cello solos,
and the members of the Loring Quartet,
as well as Miss Anna Miller Wood, were all
very we'll received.

"MECHANICs OF THE VOICE"
An Instructive Lecture on the Art
of Speaking Distinctly.


of Speaking Distinctly.
William T. Ross. -. NJ, entertained the
members of the Mechanics Institute and
their friends last night with an in
structive address on "How to Speak and
the Mechanics of the Voice." He began
his talk with diagram explanations of
some of the elementary principles OF
acoustics. The great German professor.
HelmholtZ, was frequently cited as an
authority by the lecturer.
The organs of speech were next taken
up and described by means of charts rre
pared and arranged for the occasion. The
complicated and intricate larynX was
made very simple instrument by DR..
Ross. His explanation of the formation
of tones and overtones was quite ingenl-
Gus and satisfactory. The speaker dwelt
at length upon the evil effects of corsets
upon the organs of speech and breathing.
Indistinct enuDciatiOn he said was due
TO letting the vocal organs work upon
the air in stead of permitting the air to
play aDon the vocal chords. He laid great
stress upon the importance of a we'll
cultivated and controlled voice. He de-
ciared it to be an excellent accom- plish-
ment Some of the discrepancies in the
voice were explained, such as lisping and
suffering. a tew of these he held could
be corrected, while others could not.
DR.. Ross concluded his address by giving
some very good advice to young people
who are aspiring to be elocu1ionists.
