PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS
FilIman ProvOkes a Turbulent Scene
i'm the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The SEN
ate pressed steadily forward on ap-
preparation bills to-day, making such
progress that no further apprehension
is felt as to the passage of the great
fiscal measures. The District of Column
bia bin was passed early in the day.
The naval bill brought out a spirited
debate on the price of armor plate and
the establishment Of a Government
armor factory. The bill was laid aside
at 4 80 p. m. for an executive session.
Senator Tillman provoked a turbulent
scene in the Senate tonight, when he
charged that the armor plate manufac-
turers had their agents in that body,
who We're robbing the Government. The
charge was resented by Senator Haw-
ley of Connecticut, whereupon Tillman
replied that the CALLED jade winces,'
and it looked for a time as though a
personal conflict was imminent until
Hawley was escorted to the cloak ROOM
The naval bill was passed just at
midnight, and although Chandler tried
to call up the international monetary
conference bill, the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The House
galleries We're thronged with visitors
all day, but the crowds witnessed moth
ing beyond the dullest of routine mat
ters. In the last half hour of the ses-
sion the bill to prohibit the transmits
sion of detailed accounts of prize-fights
by mail or telegraph was brought up.
This led to a very lively skirmish, in
which prize-fighting was denounced on
all sides, and the advocates of the bill
insisted that the "sickening details"
should be suppressed in the interest of
good morals. But the bill met most
strenuous opposition, on the ground
that it would tend to establish a CEN
sorship of the press
At the end of the debate which was
participated in by Aldrich (R) of Illi-
nois, Grosvenor (R) of Ohio and
Morse (R.) of Massachusetts in favor of
the bill, and Dockery D.) Of Missouri
and Cummings O) of New York in
opposition, the adversaries of the meas
ure outvoted the friends of the bill on
several flibustering motions, but an
agreement for a recess until 10 O'Clock
tomorrow put an end to the hostilities.
The bill now becomes the unfinished
business whenever the call of commit
tees is reached. but as conference re-
ports have the right of way, 1t is doubt
full whether that order of business will
again be reached this session.

SiIyeritc PrOposifion

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Can

lowing as an amendment to the tariff
bill:
"And from and after sixty days from
the passage Of this act there shall be
paid out of any moneys in the Trea-
sury, not otherwise appropriated, to any
exporter Of wheat or wheat-nower, rye
or rye-hour, corn. ground or unground; !;
cotton, hops, or tobacco. produced
wholly in the United States, and export
ed by sea from any port in the United
States to any port outside Of this coun-
try. an export bounty. by way of an
equalization to agriculture Of the bene-
fits Of this act TO encourage the indus
tries of the United States, to-wit:
"Ten cents per bushel on wheat; 80
cents per barrel on wheat-flour; 10 cents
per bushe on rye; 80 cents per barrel
on rye-fiour; 8 cents per bushel on corn;
10 cents per GENITAL on corn, ground; !
cent per pound on cotton; 2 cents per
pound on hops; cents per pound on
tobacco.
"And all payments of bounty under
this act shall be made upon negotiable
vouchers issued by the Collector of Gus
toms at the port of clearance, upon pre-
sentation at the Treasury or any SUBJ
treasury Of the United States and the
Secretary OF the Treasury is hereby
charged with making and enforcing such
regulations as may be necessary for the
full protection Of the exporters. and of the
government, according to the true intent
and meaning of this law"
This action is the result OF a confer
ence of silver Republicans, Populists. and
some Democrats, and may be said to
represent the sentiments Of the element
in the Senate which puts silver above
all other subjects of legislation.

1t hal been said, Mr. Vest proceeded.
that adversely came with the advent OF
the Democratic party and prosperity
with the Republican party. But that
adversely did not come with the advent
of the Democratic party. Mr. Vest said.
he would summon as witness no less
an authority than Mr.. William McKin-

made by Mr. Mckinley on April I, 1880.
setting forth the distress which the
farmers of the country were suffering.
How was 1t expected. the Senator asked.
that by increasing the burden of tariff
taxes the farmers would be helped to
buy more goods? Why was IT, Mr.
Vest asked. that the Republican party
was about TO abandon its record. and
urge a tariff not for protection. but for
the amount of revenue It would produce?
The Senator said there was at this
time an available balance In the Trea-
sury of $229, $50 $50. Deducting the gold
reserve of $lG0,0I00O0. the available
balance was 29.35o.sJ0. This vast
amount OF idle money was now accu-
mulated in the Treasury. And yet. the
Senate was told that it must impose on
our suffering people additional taxes.
When President Harrison turned over
the government TO President Cleveland
the Treasury balance stood at $24,12S.0SI.
To-day. there was 900 more than
when Mr.. Harrison turned over govern
ment affairs
TAX ON TEA
Mr.. Vest declared that the proposition
to raise $Sl0O)0O0 Of revenue by tax
on tea and increasing internal revenue
taxes was a naked and bold' aban-
donment of the protective policy of the
Republican party.
Mr.. Vest discussed the different sche-
dulles, and in conclusion said there was
no disposition 10 delay the consideration
of the bill. There would be no factious
opposition. and no unnecessary objec-
tion. At 515 the Senate went into exc
cutive session, and shortly afterward ad-
journed.
The House was not in session to-day.
