Some Serious Differences Developed During
the Senate Caucus.
THEIR PLAN OF CAMPAIGN IS OUTLINED.
Party Amendments to Be Submitted to the Finance Com
mttee With Right of Appeal to the Party-Ygorous
Speech From Mr.. Nelson on the Hawaiian Reciprocity
Treaty-N0 Talk of a Final Bolt.

WASHINGTON, May 24-The Re
fact that there is wide divergence of
opinion among the Republican sena-
tors on rates of duty fixed in the vari-
Gus schedules Of the tariff bill. The
senators were in caucus nearly four
hours. The only official announcement
that was made after the caucus ad-
journed was that it was decided to ap-
point three senators, in addition to the
Republican members Of the finance
committee, who are to act as a COM
mittee to assist in getting the tariff
bill through the senate. 1t was general
ly stated, however, that an agreement
had been reached that there should
be no set speeches on the bill from the
Republican side except that Of Sena-
tor Aldrich, which is to be delivered to-
morrow. A resolution or memorandum
offered by Senator Burrows was agreed
to by those present which sets forth
that the sense Of those present, there
not being a full attendance Of the eau
Gus, was that Republican senators, hav-
ing amendments to offer, should pre-
of the finance committee, and if the
amendments are approved by the COM
mittee they are to be offered in the
senate. If disapproved, the senators
presenting them are to have the right
to submit them to the Republican eau
Gus, which Is to be called upon each
schedule, if amendments to it are pro-
posed. The finance committee is to
hold sessions each evening for the pur-
pose of hearing propositions from Re
publican senators and to decide upon
the advisability Of presenting such
amendments in the senate. The object
of this proposition is ID prevent the
Republicans from dividing upon vari-
Gus schedules which might be present
ed. The necessity of this arrangement
was developed by the debate, and the
various contentious of senators.
In the early part of the caucus Sen
ator Aldrich was called upon for an
explanation of the bill and some Of
the amendments. During the remarks,
Senator Cullom called for a statement
on the sugar schedule, over which
there had been so much controversy.
The explanation presented was largely
technical, but the senators who heard
him understood that the house sched-
ule would largely exclude the coarse
and low grade from Java, the Philip
inc islands and other points. The pro-
lection in the senate bill was Is per cent
and equalized the high protection on
low grades and high grades. The ef-
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-05-25

feet Of the house schedule would be
to shut out the lower and cheaper
grades of sugar, the system of COM
pound duties presented by the senate
bill being for the purpose Of making
this equality. The average rate in the
senate bill was rs per cent, with a diff
ferential of 1A Of cent ON refined
sugar. Senator Aldrich said that this
was not as advantageous to the sugar
refiners as the house bill. The explana-
tion seemed to cause general satisfac-
ton; at least no one questioned the
senator further.
There was some discussion upon the
length of time the bill should be un-
der discussion in the senate. Senator
Mason suggested that as soon as the
opening speeches were made, a move
should be taken towards having vote
on the bill in two weeks. It was de-
cided to ask that after the debate had
run along for a week. that the senate
begin it's sessions at II o'clock and sit
until $50 and have evening sessions
from to II. p. m.
Debate ON the various schedules con-
sumed the time Of the caucus. A great
deal Of opposition was developed to the
increased tax on beer and duty on tea
and Spooner (Wis), were especially
vigorous in their opposition to the in
creased tax on beer. 1t was pointed
out that the Democrats had already
stated their opposition to this tax and
would make an effort to have the senate
committee amendment eliminated. They
thought it would be wise to have an
arrangement effected which would re-
ieve Republican senators Of embarrass-
ment 1t was determined that an effort
should be made to secure the revenue
both from beer and tea by a stamp tax,
which would accomplish the same re-
suit
Western senator's referred to the wool
schedules. Senator Warren (Wyo) ap-
peared as the spokesman for the wool
growers of the West, and said that
the duties proposed by the committee
were, in his judgment, Inadequate and
he thought there should be increases
on the lines of amendments proposed
by the Western senators.
The question of abrogating the Ha-
waiian treaty caused lively debate.
Senator Aldrich stated that the COM
! mittee intended to bring in an amend
ment to this portion of the bill. Sena-
tor Frye opposed the abrogation In
the strongest possible terms, while
Senator Nelson (Minn.) made vigorous
speech in support Of the committee
amendment, declaring that the revenue
which would be raised from the duty
on Hawaiian sugar would be greater
than that which the commit tee expec.e ed
| to get from tea. He declared the admis-
| sion of Hawaiian sugar free, was in
| the interest Of the sugar ref1nerS and
| the consumers received no benefit from
| it.

value of corn and oats at Chicago was
the seaboard price less the freights, at
tempted to recover 10 cents per 100
pounds ON no pounds. The court,
in the Judgment given by Justice
Brewer, sustains the circuit court of
appeals, which decided in favor of the
railroad company. Justice Brewer said
that there was no averment that the
rates were unreasonable, that Parsons
is not seeking to recover money inc
quitably taken from him, but on ac-
count of the wrongful conduct of the
company. Before a shipper can recover
under the interstate commerce act, he
must show not only the wrong done by
the carrier but that it operated to his
injury. Says the court: If he had ship
ped to New York and been charged local
rates, he might have recovered any
excess thereon over through rates"
In the case of the interstate COM
nlerce commission VS.. the Detroit,
Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad
company, appealed from the circuit
court of appeals for the Sixth district,
by the commission, the decree Of the
court below was affirmed. Opinion by
Justice Shiras. The case was based
upon a petition Of Stone & Carten, re-
tail merchants of Ionia, Mich, alleging
violations of sections 2, 8 and of the
Interstate Commerce Act. The COM
mission sustained the petition, but the
courts did not. The charge was that
the railroad company furnished carriage
free to the merchants of Grand Rapids,
and did not to the Iona merchants.
The court held that "the section of the
act has in view only the transportation
of passengers and property by rail, and
that when the passengers and property
reached and were discharged from the
cars at the company's station at Grand
Rapids for the same charges as those
received for similar service at Ionia,
the duties cast upon the company were
fulfilled" Justice Shiras said that it
was competent for the commission to
"direct by a general order that rail-
road companies should thereafter re-
gard carriage when furnished free as
one of the terminal charges and include
it as such in their schedules"

WASHINGTON, May 24-The resolu-
tion appropriating $4,000 for the re-
lief of distressed American citizens in
Cuba reached the White house at half
past II o'clock today, just as soon as
it could be sent up after being signed
in both houses, while they were in open
session. The president signed the reso-
luton Immediately, and will proceed at
once to consult with the officers of the
state department respecting the adop-
ton of measures of relief, in addition
to those taken last week, when Consul
General Lee was authorized to draw
upon the state department for $4,000
for the procurement Of immediate sup
plies. State department. officials are of
the opinion that it will not suffice to
send money to Cuba, but believe that
in view of the high prices for provisions
prevailing on the island it will be best
to procure at least a portion of the
stores in this country, and send them
by freight steamers to Cuba.

In the chamber of. deputies the
premier repealed the statement he had
made in the senate, adding that he
regretted the absence Of the Liberals
because it prevented Senior Sagasta
from defending himself against certain
accusations arising out of an erroneous
Interpretation of one Of his speeches.
He said it seemed to be supposed that
the sale of Cuba was a possible thing.
"Spain," said Senor Canovas, "is not a

it's honor"
After the session Of the cortes the
dissident Conservatives held meeting

LONDON, May >25.-The Standards corre-

which has characterized the proceedings in
the reichsrath during the last few weeks cul-
minated today in an unprecedented scene. The
president became so much excited in anticipa-
tion of trouble that he tainted before the ses-
sion opened, and the vice president had to
take the chair. For hours the members of the
opposition had recourse to every parliament
tary device for obstructing business, and
finally, when these were exhausted, they over
turned the desks, smashed inkstands, flung
books in the faces of the speakers, INDUCED
in coarse invectives and finally came to blows
in a general riot.

THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An officer With Vast Responsibilities Who
Seldom Gets Credit.

FROM the time, less than 60 wears
ago, when the first steam vessel crossed
the Atlantic the evolution of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is the
ono class of marine craftsman that.
above ali others, has kept pace with the
developments Of this fast speeding age
and he stands today the most finished
product of Il century that has created
more new types and more new cccupa-
tons than any that has preceded it. The
marine engineer today is moro inpor-
tant than any deck officer, but his i'm
portancc is as little recognized by the
nonseafaring man rs his identity is CON
ccaled from the view of those who tray
cl i'll ships. Down i'll the bowels Of the
vessel, he controls not only the propul-
sion, but the steering, lighting, pump
ing, anchoring, ventilation of the mod
ern marine structure, and on the war
ship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns The eyes
that steer the ship are those of the Off
Ger of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer. His is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
on that is given to those who serve their
country or their employers with courage
and devotion on the sea.
