SIX AFTER THE SENAToRSHIP.
THE SCRAMBLE FOR SENATOR
EARLE'S SHOES LIVELY.

Columbia, S. c.. May 2i.-Frlends of
DR.. Carlisle, president OF Wofford College;
Gen. Wade Hampton, railroad commits
soner; w. d. Evans, eX-Gov. John Gary
Evans, Congressman McLaurin and So
licitor General Duncan Bellinger are press
ing their claims for appointment to the
Senate before Gov. Ellerbee. The APP
pointment win probably be made in a
few days. The supposition that Gov. Ell
lerbee would appoint weak man, con-
templating making the race himself before
the legislature, is erroneous. He will not
be a candidate.
Washington May Blowing to the Pc
culiar political conditions in the Palmetto
state. the question of filling the vacancy
created by the death of Senator Earle is
attracting much attention here in Wash.
ington.
Senator Tillman refuses to say anything
on the subject, except TO declare that
Gov. Ellerbee will evidently appoint some
good man.
1t is the belief of South Carolinlans
here that Representative McLaurin will
be that man. They say the talk of the
senator and the governor being unfriend-
ly has no substance, and that Senator
Ttllman regards Representative McLaurin
with favor From this standpoint, the
contest seems to be McLaurln against the
held. The suggestion that Gov Ellerbee
might appoint some nonentity, who would
play INTO his (Ellerbee's) hands in the flu
ture, IS considered extremely improbable
by Carolnians, who say such action
would Kill any man who tried It.
Thefe is some criticism among those
who went to Senator Earle's funeral over
what they term Representative McI.au-
rims rather undue haste ian seeking sun
port for the appointment. The people who
are in touch with South Carolina affairs
here donot consider John Gary Evans as
strong probability, either for appoint
ment or in the primaries

believed a lower tax would be pro-
ductive Of greater revenue, but he
thought it unwise to go into the COM
pleX question in connection with this
tariff bill.
Mr.. Teller said the letter of the sec
retary of the treasury indicated de-
sire for legislation on this subject.
Then the senator said: Before this
bill is disposed of, 1 will discuss what
should be done in decreasing the tax
on spirits. / will show that the COM
mittee is giving away $2O00,0OO a
month to the detriment of honest deal
ers in distilled spirits"
The consideration of the bill then
proceeded. The paragraph relating to
nickel was changed, making the rates
on nickel ore cents per pound. This
brought the senate to the retaliatory
clause, so-called. Mr.. Gray Del.)
spoke against the amendment, saying
he regarded it as opening the way
to disregard of our treaty obligations
with at least two European countries,
Germany and Austria Hungary.
The retaliatory clause was agreed
to, 1913. Two Democrats, Caffery and
McEnery Na.), and Messrs. Allen and
Kyle voted with the Republicans in
the affirmative, and Messrs Mantle and
Teller with the Democrats in the neg
ative.
sidered, Mr.. Allison offered the new
provision, which has been hereto
fore given. 1t was changed slightly
by providing that the reciprocity
treaty "be made by and with the con-
sent of the senate
Mr. Mills, Of Texas, stated in few
words that the proposed amendment
sought to deprive the house of repre-
sentatives of it's constitutional right
to originate and participate in all rev.
enue measures.
Mr.. Morgan said the United States
supreme court had passed upon the
reciprocity clause of the Mckinley
law and had held that it in no way
disregarded the rights of the house Of
representatives. The reciprocity pro .
vision, he said, reduced the severity
of the bill, and he would support it.
Mr. Gray supported the reciprocity
amendment, saying the treaties con-
templated were clearly within the
treaty-making power.
Mr. Teller argued that a grave ques-
ton was involved in taking from the
house Of representatives. the power
to cooperate in making reciprocity
treaties. 1t was too grave question
to be brought into the senate during
the closing hours of the tariff debate
The senator said he wanted to vote
for some reciprocity clause, but not
for one in violation of the constltu-
ton. The reciprocity clause was
agreed to, 30-1S, two Democrats, Gray
and Morgan, and Messrs. Harris, Kan,
and Heitfeld, Populist, voting with the
Republicans in the affirmative, and
Messrs Teller and Stewart with the
Democrats in the negative.
Just before adjournment Mr. Allison
tried to secure an agreement on a
time for final vote, but Mr.. Teller
said it would be useless to try to fix
a time for a vote until senators knew
what amendments were to be proposed.

NEW YORK, July 2.-William D.

1t is in these states that the gold stand

made it's best showing in the CAM
paign of 1885, and Mr.. Bynum says
that a vigorous effort will be made to
strengthen the party in all those states

Ohio.
I'm Kentucky" says Mr.. Bynum.
"the prospects are bright. The sound
money Democrats will hold their con-
vention on July Ia. Former Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle will preside,
and Gen. Buckner and Mr. Breckin-
ridge will be delegates. The men II
nominateS for governor and other
state offices will be elected The Re-
publicans have already appointed q
committee to confer with the National
Democratic convention, and that party
will indorse our nominees. This will
insure their election.
I'm Ohio, and in Iowa, we are very
strong. In Iowa we have with us the
best and most influential men of the
state. The issue has been very clear
ly drawn there by the fusion of the
free silver Republicans, the Bryan
Democrats and two-thirds Of the Pop
ulists. AS one-third of the Populists
have revolted from the fusion party,
the prospects are good for large gains
in the ranks of the sound money DEM
ocrats. Mr.. Boies has practically left
the Bryan Democrats because he does
not want free coinage at 16 to l.
"It is the desire of the committee
that the National Democrats in these
three states place separate tickets in
the field, and that a vigorous cam
paign in behalf of sound money be
made in each.
I'VE shall hold a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National De-

in Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa and other

Mr.. Bynum said that in his recent
trip through the South he was very
much encouraged as he found there
much more inviting field of labor than
he had expected to find.

washed full of water before the second
mile was reached, and, after passing
that point was compelled to retire
from the contest. The next heaviest
crew, Columbia, bravely heralded as a
rough water crew, was so fearful of
results from the same cause that 1t lost
many lengths steering in shore.
In some respects the contest was
pitiful. Cornell, the winner of the two
previous contests, the victor over
Yale and Harvard, had been led to be-
lieve that Pennsylvania and Columbia
would put up a harder fight than her
contestants in the other races. On
the contrary, the Cornell crew rowed
over the course in the easiest kind of
fashion, only hitting up the stroke in
the last three-quarters of mile in an
evident endeavor to make fair time.

tax on stock and bond transactions in con-
nection with the tariff bill, which was agreed
upon at the caucus Of Republican senators,
was suggested by Senator Lodge (Mass.), and
grew out Of a statement that with the tea
was likely to fall short to the extent of $15.-
0OO00O in providing sufficient revenue to
meet the demands of the government The
suggestion, as made by Mr.. Lodge, was that
tax of two cents per share should be
levied upon every share of stock sold at a
stock exchange, or any other place, and that
similar tax of two cents should be COL
lected upon all bonds sold on the stock ex-
change or elsewhere. The caucus accepted
the suggestion, but decided to leave the for
mutation of the amendment, with possibly a
change of rates, to the finance committee. A
rough estimate places the amount of revenue
the provision will furnish at $7,0OO,O0O.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-07-03

WASHINGTON, July 2-Reciprocity
and retaliation were the two phases of
the tariff bill to occupy the atten-
ton of the senate today, to the ex-
clusion of all other subjects. Both
provisions were agreed to, although
the debate on the reciprocity clause
was protracted to p. m. Shortly be-
fore adjournment Mr.. Allison endeav-
ored to secure an agreement on the
time for a final vote, but Mr.. Teller
would not consent to fixing the time
until all proposed amendments had
been submitted to the senate. AS MIR.
Allison was not prepared to submit
these amendments, he withdrew his
request and the time for the final
vote was left open, although there is
still hope that it will be reached to-
morrow
The retaliatory clause provides that
whenever any country bestows an eX-
port bounty on any article there shall
be levied, in addition to the duties
provided by the act, an additional duty
equal to the amount of the bounty.
The clause was agreed to- 33 to 10, the
two Democratic senators from Louisi-
ana, Caffery and McEnery, voting
with the Republicans in the affirma-
tive. The reciprocity clause empowers
the president, with the advice and con-
sent of the senate, to make reciprocity
treaties giving 20 per cent reduction in
duties on designated articles or plac-
ing articles on the free list. The
amendment brought out much opposi-
ton, Senators Mills, Vest, Pettus, Tel
I16 tn win hot f1o
constitutional right of the house of
representatives to originate meas
ures affecting revenue, while Senators
Morgan, Gray and Chandler defended
its legality and propriety. 1t was
agreed to, 30 to 1S, two Democrats,
Gray and Morgan, voting with the Re-
publicans in the affirmative.
Early in the day Mr.. Wellington
(Rep., Md, rising to a question of
personal privilege, vehemently upheld
his senatorial prerogatives in the mat
ter Of federal appointments. The tariff
bill was then taken up. Mr.. White
(Cal), in behalf of the minority of the
finance committee, asked Mr.. Allison
as to the programme on tea, beer, the
antitrust amendment and other i'm
portant questions. Mr. Allison respond
ed that an amendment relating to the
increase of the revenue to be derived
from the bill would be brought in later
in the day. AS to other questions a
little more time was desired.
Mr. Teller (Col) inquired what the
committee or caucus contemplated do
ing on the question of decreasing the
tax on distilled spirits, in view of the
letter written by the secretary of the
treasury. Mr.. Allison answered that
the whole question of distilled spirits
had been gone over. Personally, he
