he added impetuously, ''of saying to
the United States senate: If you do
not dispose of that treaty in "a hours.
you are to have spears damned into
YOU is one to be repelled.'
What are you going to do about it ?"
Mr.. Gray (Dem. Del.) asked in a tone
of calmness that contrasted with Mr..
Hears manner.
Mr.. Hoar-I think that we are going
to point out to the very excellent,
worthy and well-meaning men who are
doing this, that the matter is still in
course of diplomatic discussion be-
tween the two countries, and that it
is unwise for them to attempt to affect
that diplomacy. After we have pointed
out to them they will see ii them
selves and will desist.
Mr.. Gray-I think that the senate of
the United States will perform it's duty
with due elaboration, whether the in
temperate. criticism ceases or not.
Mr.. Cullom. a member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations, said that
he was in accord with the views of
Mr.. Hoar. There had been three meet
ingS of the committee since the treaty
had been received. 1t had been re-
ceived at the first meeting, and laid
over until the second: as some men,
bers were absent at the second meet
ing, the matter had been laid over till
the next meeting. There was no dis
position on the part of the committee
to delay action on the treaty a mo-
ment after the committee was satisfied
that it was proper to ratify it, So far

lieved in the general proposition en-

Harmon Explains to the President
the Plan as Outlined.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Attorney-Gen
eral Harmon has returned from New
York, fresh from his negotiations with
the reorganization committee of the
Union Pacific railway company. Prior
to the regular cabinet meeting, today.
he explained to President Cleveland the
plan outlined ii the statement given,
which received the presidents ap-
prevail. The cabinet was told at its
session of what had been done, but no
formal action by that body was taken.
AS indicated by the statement, the
settlement agreed upon with the re-
Organiza ton committee marks the end
ing of the relations between the fed
eral government and the Union Pa
cific company. 1t does not interfere,
however, with the right of the govern
ment to institute proceedings to pro-
tect itsef in any phases of the litigation
that may be discovered later. So fas as
the Central Pacific road is concerned,
matters are not in shape for settling its
relations with the government, but
something is likely to be done in the
near future.

Union Pacific Railway company con-
sists of Louis Fitzgerald chairman;
Jacob H. Shift, T. Jefferson Coolidge. jr.,
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Marvin Hughitt
and Oliver Ames, second.

who had come as spectators had
abused their privileges by such a dem
onstration, but he realized that the
people were deeply interested in this
question and he was not disposed to
deal harshly with them. Yet it seemed
necessary that the members should as
sert their rights in order that they
should not be swayed by popular dem
STATIONS in the discharge of their du-
ties, and the assembly should give
warning that the dignity of the house
would be maintained.
Senator Hamer moved as an amend
ment that the ergeant-at-arms be in

Joseph Bloomfield jackson Arrested With
Loaded Revolver About Him.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. Joseph
Bloomfield jackson, who is said to be a
crank from Meriden, Conn, was ar
rested at the door of the White House,
after an unsuccessful effort to enter the
executive mansion. Jackson was
heavily armed He has been in the
city several days, and at the Raleigh
House, where he stopped, has made
mysterious boasts as to what he was 60
ing to do to high official of the gov
ernment. He sent letter to local
newspaper containing similar threats.
He has been under espionage for sew
eral days snd is now behind the bars
The officers thought nothing of the
arrest until on searching the man they
found the loaded revolver. Only q
charge of vagrancy and carrying con-
cealed weapons can be made against
him, and his treatment will not be
materially different from that given to
a hundred of other cranks removed
from the White House grounds without
disturbances, but there is nevertheless
the fear and belief that President Nc.
Kinley might, if he had driven out in
the afternoon instead of being closeted
with visitors, been attacked and per-
haps shot as he entered his carriage. It
is thought Jackson's mind is unbal-
anced.

SETTLES SEC. p
Attorney General McKenna Gives
Out His Long Anticipated
Decision.
Congress Cannot Be Held to
Have Intended to Dis
criminate
Against Goods That Were Vir-
tually Direct Importations
to This Country.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Attorney
General McKenna announced his opin-
ion in the matter of section % of the
new tariff law. He holds IN effect that
goods coming directly into the United
States from foreign countries through
Canadian ports are not subject to the
discriminating duty of 10 per cent, and
also holds that foreign goods shipped
from countries other than British pos
sessions in British vessels. are not sub
ject to the discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked the at6or-
ney general, the first of which was, III
effect, whether the discriminating duty
Of 10 per cent provided for IN section
%, should be assessed against an in
voice of tea from China, which had ar
rived at Vancouver in British vessels,
and thence shipped through Canada to
Chicago, the second question was
whether the discriminating duty should
be assessed against a cargo OF mangan-
ese ore from Chill, which recently ar
rived in British ship at Philadelphia,
Both these questions the attorney gen
6ral answers IN Gn6 negative.
The Language Ambiguous.
Commenting on one of the cases the
attorney general says:
cit is conceded that the importation
is to the United States-passage through
Canada being mere movement only
toward destination-the latter being the
United States This being so, it would
seem that there is no reason to dis
tinguish between that importation, and
what may be called in distinction a
direct one-why one should be burdened
and the other not burdened when the
discrimination was not necessary to the
main purpose of the law.
''How congress regards the conflict we
have no means of knowing. There was
certainly no avowal, and the only ex,
preston of members which we have in
didate a different purpose than one
which might or might not have been
entertained, and it would seem the nat
ural thing to have explicitly declared.
''As there was no reason, therefore,
why the portations-indirect or di-
rect-should be Disseminated by differ
ent duties, am not disposed to think
that it was intended. To do SO would
be to put new purpose in the law-de-
stroying its unity-which is not COM
PEELED by its language, or any mischief
which we may say was in the contem-
plation of the law makers to be reme-
died -
