MADE A PLEA FOR THE
GROWERS OF TOBACCO.
TrimbIe of Kentucky Made an At
tack Upon the Trust.

TrimbIe of Kentucky Made nm At
tack Upon the Trust.
Washington. March 2S.-In the House
to-day Mr.. Trimble of Kentucky spoke
in behalf Of the tobacco, growers of the
country, and said they should be put
on the same plane as the cotton and
wheat growers. He made a plea for
the removal of the tax of cents
pound on this article, so that the pro-
ducers may reach the consumer with
out paying ''this enormous and in
iquitous tax" The grower. he said,
had but one buyer, the tobacco trust
and he said because of this tax "a
foreign corporation is robbing the
American tobacco grower every year
OF upon an average of $14.000,000."
Although the tax had been reduced
from II to 6 cents, he declared the
consumer had not been benefited.
AS a result OF the tobacco trust, Mr.
Trimble said that the negro was in a
worse fix than when he was a slave,
because then his master fed and cloth
ed him and cared for him in sickness,
but to-day the. tobacco trust had forced
on him half rations and let's him go
hungry and hslf5naked and had no
compassion for him.
The House adjourned until to-mor-
row.

as a piece of executive legislation md
criticised it as another Instance of
lse&ecutive encroaehmefit upon the pre-
i krogattye of Congress-" He quoted from
a service pension bill pending before
Congress to show that the order had
copied its exact language "Why,h
Mr.. sCarmack asked, and replied that
II was because it had become evident
that no pension Legislation could be
got through Congress-. Then" he
went on. the secretary said. we won't
FOOL with those cattle UP there (as
the President once called Congress);
we won't fool with those cattle, but
we will accomplish the same result by
executive order, simple twist of the
wrist"
Mr.. Foraker asked If it was not true
that Mr. Cleveland had issued similar
order in regard to Mexican pensions.
but Mr.. Carmack insisted that the ae-
tion of Mexican pensions was the re-
suit of legislation and not of an execu-
tive order
Mr.. Carmack admitted, however, that
the first step fixing old age as an evi-
dence of disability had been taken by
Mr.. Cleveland. The order in that case
was, however, comparatively reasona-
BILE, and the precedent has been vio-
lently seized upon by the present oc-
cupant of the White House to extend
the practice.
Mr.. Foraker said his understanding
of the order is that an ex-soldier does
not necessarily come into a pension at
the age of 62, but that the fact of age
is only an evidential fact to be con-
sidered by the department. The effect
was to give a man of So years prima
facie case before the department.
Replying to Mr.. Mallory, Mr.. Fora
ker said the age limit had doubtless
been lessened to. meet the spirit and
purpose of the pension law as shown
by the enactment in the case Of Mexi-
can pensions.

Daniel ]. Sully on Saturday afternoon
filed notice with the exchange to the
effect that his business was in the

after failure to meet obligations. BY
complying with the rule as closely as
the circumstances of his affairs per
mitted. Mr.. Sully removed any pos
sbility of having his application for

BUSINESS troubles are settled, the pen
atty for Noncompliance with the rule
being forfeiture of membership
rights.
Statement for suIly.
The following statement was given
out to-day by John R. DosPassos:
Mr.. DosPassos, counsel for Mr.

of creditors in the Cotton Exchange
this afternoon and stated in behalf
of Mr.. Sully that the latter desired to
have his affairs arranged and ADJUST
ed Immediately. and he authorized a
proposition to his creditors of 40 cents
on the dollar, cash, payable within
thirty days, and the balance in notes
without interest, payable in one, two
and three years.

interest of the firm of D. j. Sully &
Co. and d. ]. Sully individually in the
claim or claims which they or he have
against Hawley & Ray, arising out of
their joint transactions and operations
in cotton.
Mr.. DosPassos explained that If

for an indefinite time the assets of
Sully & Co. would be diminished and
frittered away by all kinds of ex-
penses, and that he appeared before
the committee to have the affairs Of
Mr.. Sully adjusted on business princi-
pies which involved economy and
promptne3s.
Will Be Considered.

cept the proposition of Mr. Sully, but
it was agreed to Immediately confer
with the receivers and with the cred
itors of D. J, Sully & Co. for the pur-
pose of receiving authority to act upon
the proposition.
The situation at the present time
is that If the body of creditors agree
TO Mr.. Sully's proposition he will be
able to resume his business in the near
future
1t is r. assumed the, committee of
creditors will meet tomorrow. The
books of the Sully firm show the as
sets to be $1.100,0007 as a minimum,
with possibility Of more.
