Mr.. Allison Says There Will Be No Ad-
journment at Five O'Clock Without Yea
and Nay Vote.
Washington, July 22.-Shortly before
the Senate adjourned today, Senator ALI
son. in charge of the tariff bill, made a
strong effort to have time fixed for the
final vote on the tariff conference report.
Failing in this Mr.. Allison gave notice
that the session tomorrow would be pro-
tracted with a view to securing vote. It
was the first definite movement made
thus far toward bringing the debate to a
close. Mr.. Allison's first proposition was
for vote at 5 O'Clock tomorrow, but this
was objected to by Mr.. Pettus, of Ala
bama. Then he proposed a vote sometime
before adjournment tomorrow, which
was objected to by. Mr.. Morgan.
The suggestion of Saturday at O'Clock
met with like objections from Mr.. Nor
gan. The Alabama senator explained his
last objection by stating that he thought
all debate on the report would be ex-
hausted tomorrow, so that it was need
less to make an agreement in advance.
Finding that there was no disposition to
reach an agreement, Mr.. Allison finally
gave notice that hereafter, while the re-
port was pending the Senate would not
adjourn at o'clock without yea and
nay vote.
The debate on the report today was
participated by Senators Chiffon of Tex
as, Jones of Arkansas and Pettigrew of
South Dakota, in opposition. while Mr..
Aldrich took frequent occasions to de-
fend the report against the criticisms OF
those senators.
Washington, July 22.-The credentials

Presidents desk, where the oath of office
was duly administered.

MARCHES ON SEVERAL MINES
PLANNED BY STRIKERS.

Arbitrators Are at Work Among Pittsburg
Operators But Without Success So Far
Aid of sheriffs Called For In West
virginia.
Pittsburg, July 2.-Excitement was at
fever heat in local miners circles today.
The operators were apparently preparing g
for any demonstration and before nightfall
they were convinced that miners from
the Finleyville district marched on the
Bunola mines and succeeded in bringing
out the men at work. Sheriff Lowry has
force of deputies ready for duty and
trouble is. looked for at any time. A
march on the Turtle Greek, Plum Creek
and Sandy Creek mines is expected at any
time.
At Canonsburg it was reported that 1000
men would march to the Cook mines to-
night and stay there until the diggers
came out.
The miners leaders continue at work
in an effort to pursuade the miners in the
Connellsville coke region to stop work,
but dispatches indicate that they are
meeting with poor success.
The arbitrators were at work among
the Pittsburg operators today and they
are trying every means to bring about a
meeting of the oper ators. So far they
have been unsuccessful. Mayor Ford said
today that he had not consented to a
meeting and would not do SO.
sHERIFFS AGAINST STRIKERS.
An Armed Posse Guards the Hite Mine at
Kings, w. Va.
Fairmont W. Va, July 22.-Armed
deputy sheriffs of the county now guard
the Hite mine at Kings, three miles
above here on the Tygarts valley river.
The sheriff was called there this after
noon as the operators feared an out
break, but no arrests were made. Early
this morning, the drivers at that mine
joined the strikers as result of the
effort of Crawford Temple, Monongah
miner, who, since joining the union, has
proved as efficient a missionary as the
organizers could desire The operators
secured new drivers in an hour and at
noon over half of the miners came out.
Then the second lot of drivers threw UP
their positions and some of the men be-
gan stoning the miners who were forced
to leave their work and who had assem-
bled in front of the mine. Rolf Hite,
the superintendent, soon had his Winches-
ter in his hands and three shots quenched
the enthusiasm of all the strikers but one,
who made for Hite with a pickax, but
he was driven off at the point of revol-
yer. The operators, however, feared an
other outbreak and called on the county
officials for aid.

give the Fairmont district more attention

Mr. Aldrich, one Of the Republican con-

Of this conference committee was the
same that every conference committee
followed, In the tariff contest of 1894,

of what was going on. Mr.. Aldrich de-
clared that Republicans senator's were
responsible for the pending bill and it
was not to be'expected that amendments by
the Democratic conferees would be en-
grated on the bill.
Mr.. Jones insisted that the course of the
Republican conferees had been excep-
tional and arbitrary. In particular he
urged that each change in the rates on
sugar had given added benefits to the
trust. At one stage Mr.. Aldrich inter
rupted to say that the average OF rates
was below that of the law of 1890. Re-
ferring to Mr.. .Joness criticism on the
sugar schedule he said that his personal
views were favorable to free sugar as they
had always been, and he would SO vote If
there was opportunity. But the demands
for revenue made that out OF the ques-
ton.

"Oh what tangled web we weave.
When e'er we practice to deceive"

In arriving at a just conception OF
the reliability of Senator Plummer,
under charge that cannot be directly
proven, it is perfectly justifable to
group together other acts which afford
an insight to his character, and this is
just what the Investigators have been
doing notwithstanding he was so pre-
cipitately "exonerated" by a commit
tee of the Senate.
1t will be remembered by those pres
ent that on Wednesday, Jan. q, Sena-
tor Plummer for the first time voted
for George Turner for the United
States Senate. At that time he made
n speech claiming to have come to
Olympia wholly unpledged to any cam
didate and stated that he had in his
pocket letter from United States
Senator John L. Wilson asking him to
vote for middle-of-the-road Populist.
Members of the Legislature then de-
manded the letter, Plummer replying
that he could show it if desired.
In denial of the above Senator Viii.
son wired A. J. Shaw of Spokane as
follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 4.-Plum-
mer's statement that wrote him advis-
ing him or anyone else to vote for Pop
ulist is false. Have not written him on
that or any other subject.
joins l.. WILSON.
This is how Mr.. Plummer tries to
explain the little question of veracity
"The statement which made in the
joint session of the Legislature was that
l had letters from John L. Wilson Re-
publicans importuning me to vote only
for a middle-of-the-road Populist. The
stenographer told me afterwards that
she could not get all my speech as !
talked 50 fast. This WAS probably how
the error occurred. have number OF
letters from John L. Wilson Republicans

NO INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM.-
AS was predicted all during the last
campaign, the attempt to secure in
ternational bimetallism has proven a
farce. Senator WOlcott returns from
his European mission with dropping
feathers. France, even, will not favor
the project unless Germany and Eng
land first give their approval. A diff.
ferent result was never expected by
the goldbugs, and the steps taken
were only to satisfy the clamor of the
dupes they had made by holding out a
promise Of feasibility of the scheme.
