TILE ITiLIlN RUIIL VA IRRIAGE.

The marriage of the Crown Prince OF ltaly
10 Princess Helene of Montenegro, which is to
occur on October "A. will be an incident of
more than common interest. The world has
watched with mingled amusement ana sympa-
thy the numerous attempts of the Italian mon
arcbs to get their son and heir married ana
settled i'm life We should hesitate To say how
many Princcsscs he ha, been engaged, or re-
ported 10 be- engaged, to in the last ten years
II NAV he that the present Is his first and
ONLY real cnga agcmcnt and that II was brought
about through mutual affection. ns wei as
through the Vaccinations Of state. so the
world will gladly believe. and II Will hope that
this marriage will strengthen the bonds 0i
peace and friendship between Italy ana Moi-

both nations shall be ready to adopt rcpubli

Much curiosity has been excited to see how
the marriage will he solcmnzed. in view of the
peculiar relations existing between the King
OF Italy and the Pope. The King and his
family are of course, dcvOut Catholics, ana
the Montenegrin Princess will have to be con

the same time. decree Of accommodation
was pronounced against the royal family twen-
ty-fve years ago. when Victor Emmanuel took
possession Of Rome and ended the temporal
sovereignty Of the Pope. That decree is com

'McKinleyite on the money question as he is on

IAN OUTRAGE AND A SHAME"

II Congress Adiourns without Providing
Enough Revenues Says sherman.
The tariff talk was started by a series of
questions George asked Hill, the substance
Of which was whether it was not best to
put aside all partisanship, both sides COM
| ing together in a proper measure to aid
the treasury.
Sherman was quickly on his feet 81 say
| in all seriousness" he said, ''that if this
| congress adjourns without giving tho
| treasury relief it will bc an outrage and a
| shame. 1t will be disgrace falling in
| large part on the senate. We are going
| on like spendthrift squandering his for
tune.
The senate refuses to give the presi-
| dent proper powers for relief. This meas
ure the bond prohibition is the act of a
bankrupt and of n dishonest bankrupt.
II we do not act" concluded
| sherman, tho president of the United
States will he justified in calling us back
| here by the lst Of July to do our duty
Cray followed. Il agree with the Ohio
| senator tina, crisis IN the history of tho
| country and the history of the senate is at
hand he said. II agree that an adjourn
| ment without measure of relief would
be an outrage and a shame. And say to
| the senator that if his committee will pro-
| pose a measure to increase the revenue. a
measure truly non-nrtisan and solely to
| raise revenue, he will find support on this
| side of the chamber"
The senator's proposition answered
Sherman. is that we should disregard the
bill Of the house-that body charged with
initiating revenue Legislation; that we
| should tear up the DiDgley bill and make
another. He must be more broad and
| liberal in his offers
Il thought the senator Sherman did
not understand him mself.' said Gray, when
he spoke of a n-partisan patriotic meas
| ure. He now, proposes that we must ac-
cept the Dingley bill, which in my judg-
ment will not yield sufficient revenue to
afford relief
George now came forward with n de-
| tailed proposition which attracted marked
| attention. He said he would pledge his
| one vote to the Republican senator's if
| they would get together and frame a prop
| er relief measure. He would accept in such
| a measure a tax on beer, a revenue tax on
wool lumber. tea. coffee, an increase on
| tobacco. cigars and cigarettes and n fair
revenue duty on any agricultural products
| imported from Canada to the United
States
| Dubois one Of the five Republicans who
voted against considering the tariff bill.
| in ironical tones said that of course it
would be easy to get together and pass a
revenue tariff biil, with free silver

River and Harbor ELI Full Of Things the
Two Statesmen Cant Abide.~
Conference reports in the house and the
Indignation that welled up in the threats
Of Dockery and Hepburn knocked out the
Phillips labor commission bill, and it will
wait until next week. Hepburn and
Dockery were red hot about the river and
harbor bill. Dockery said ne opposed this
measure because it contained s.riotous ap-
preparations" not warranted by the con-
dition OF the treasury. He said he realized
that his remarks would not be punctuated
by applause. I'VE are all in on it, he
added sacastically, amid laughter. Dock
erys remarks about the Impoverished
treasury" and his appeals to the people
were received with derisive jeers by the
Republicans.
AT the conclusion Of his time Hooker
offered to yield him fifteen minutes more
If he would point out single item in the
bill that was not justified by the engineers 8
reports. Loud applause. This chal-
lenge brought Hepburn to his feet with a
hot speech against the bill. This bill, said
Hepburn, had been passed by brutal
majority" without debate, and he made
the assertion that not a section of the bill
had ever been read in the house Not in
the history Of the country had been known
such villainous legislation. Seventy five
millions carried in a bill, not paragraph
Of which was ever read or considered
After such n procedure gentlemen now
had the assurance 10 ask its opponents to
point out its multiplied iniduitics.
''Shamc! shame." he cried. "Shame
upon such false prctense. Why did you
force the bill through in forty minutes il
you We're not too cowardly to face investi-
gation?" Hepburn sharply criticised the

Hepburn Gives the House q Roast on the
River and Harbor Bill-warm Talk in
Both National Chambers.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-It was warm
weather in both houses yesterday, In the
senate Sherman denounced legislative
inaction as to the revenue, and Hill de
| nounced the Butler bond bill In the
house Hepburn grew vehement in de-
| nuuciation Of the river and harhcr. bill
and the men who passed it-"and they
laughed him to scorn." The very first
thing in the senate was a motion by But
Ter to take up his anti-bond bill and it
| was adopted-3i to Gothic nays being as
follows: Republicans-Allison, Baker,
Burrows, Chandler, Davis, Frye. Gal
finger, Hale, Hawley, Mcbride, Mcmillan.
Morrill,, Nelson, Sherman and Wctmore
|'Democrats-C Gallery, Gray. Hill, Lindsay
and Villas. Hill Immediately took tho
floor TO talk the bill to death if he could.
Crimes and "Alleged" Grimes.
1.-The alleged crime of az will be as moth
ing" said Hill, ito the crime which will
be perpetrated if this bill passes and be-
comes law, 1t is a bold proposition to
repeal the resumption act, to repeal tho
only law which exists for the redemption
Of the paper cSrrency of the country. By
declaring that for no purposes whatever
shall money be raised on bonds this meas
ure is in effect repeal Of the act ef 1870
1t is n startling proposition. 1t will not
solve the silver question. 1t will simply
put in peril the finances of the country" :"
The senator spoke derisively of this self
confessed Populist measure" At p m
the bond bill lost its place by senate
rule and was Immediately returned there
to by n vote of 20 to % and Hill went on.
"Plain, Bold, Open Reputation"
This is plain, bold, open Reputation"
exclaimed Hill. .'Rcpudiation, the dis
honor of your paper money and the dis
honor of your country is what this meas
ure means. The crime of '73 pales into
insignifcance beside this contemplated
crime. This measure takes the govern
ment by the throat; it holds up the treas
ury.''
Just here debate on the possibility of
passing revenue measure stopped Hill,
and after that was over he proceeded. He
said that the senate, as ut present consti-
tutcd with n large-he would not say un-
tnt
party willing to put silver to the front in
everything, and with the Democratic side
divided. would find it impossible to frame
n tariff bill. A non-partisan tariff bill was
an impossibiliry.
What He Would DO If President.
Divided rs the senate is how could any
| man outside Of an insane asylum prom SO
a tariff for revenue. IF / We're the presi-
dent of the United States" he added,
(Which from present prospects it looks as
if never would be) should take the last
dollar from the treasury to sec that the
pledges of the government should he
kept" and he misjudged, he said, the
character and force of the present execu-
tive If he did not pursue this course.
Talk about the previous follies of the
party" he said, this would be the worst
step ever taken. The Democratic party
| can stand a good deal. but it cannot stand
this" Here Hill yielded to permit Baker
of Kansas to talk against the bill.
