of Effect on April 1 Causes Dis- -
mission—Cuba Occupics the At-
tention of the Senate.
Washington, April 1.—General' VVil-
liam Draper of Massachusetts has been
offered the Italian mission and has sig—
nified his intention ‘of accepting it.
The nomination will be sent to the
senate shortly.
There is considerable doubt as to who
will get the place of secretary of lega-
1ion. Former Speaker Meyer of the
Hassachusetts house is prominently
mentioned and is strongly backed, but
Senator Hale’s son wants the place,
and he is likely to get it.
The president today sent to the senate
the following nominations:
Treasury—Penrose A.McLain of Penn—
s’yly ania, to be collector of internal rev-
enue for the First district of Pennsyl-
vania.
State—Themas TV. Cridler of \Vest
Virginia, to be third assistant secretary
of seate.
Postmaster—“’illiam H. Hamilton,
Ocean Grove, N. J.
.The Tarifl' Bill In the House.
\Vashington. April 1. -—There was
but a small attendance on the floor of
the house of. representatives at the
opening of the session today. There
was, however, adarger crowd in the
galleiies.
MI.Richa1ds011 (Dem., Tenn.) called
attention to the fact that the1e \\' as
manifestly no quorum present, but de—
clined on account of the brief time re-
maining for the consideration of the bill
to make the point.
Paragraph 66, making phenacetine,
etc., dutiable at 8 cents an ounce, was
stricken out on motion of Mr. Dalzcll
(Rep., Pa“) This sends the aiticles
in the paroagraph to a clause making
them dutiable at” 5 per cent
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep, 0.) offered a
committee amendment. which was
adopted, making the rate on dates and
currants 2 cents per pound.
Mr. Devries (Dem., Cal.) said that as
a representative of the fruit grow-ing
district he favored this amendment.
Mr. Grosvenor presented the com—
mittee amendment, about which there
has been so much discussion during the
last few days, fixing April 1 as the date
on which the bill shall go into effect.
The Discussed Amendment.
The amendment in full is as follows:
“Section 2T.——That all articles men-
tioned in the several schedules of this
act which .shall be imported into the
United States between the first day of
April, 1807, and the date of passage of
this act and which were not purchased
and directed by the owner to be shipped
for import into the United States by
any citizen thereof prior to April 1, 1897,
shall bear the same duties to be charged
upon similar articles in this act, and
such duties are hereby made alien upon
such articles wherever and in whatso-
ever hands found, except in the hands of
persons holding them for final consump—
tion and have no purpose to sell or pa1t
with the same or any part 01 pioduct
of the same, and except also in the
hands of persons shown to have ob—
tained such articles without notice of
the provisions of the act. and any per—
son, not a final consumer or holder,
without having obtained an interest in
or possession of any such a1 ticle or ar—
ticles so subject to duty, except a com—
mon earlier or warehouse, shall be lia-
ble for the payment of such duties
thereon, and the same may be reserved
but without penalty. in
an action or suit by the United States
against such person or persons in any
district or circuit court thereof. And all
persons liable under this act for such
duty or any part thereof in respect of
any shipment, cargo or lot of any article
.or articles 'may be joined in the same
action for recovery without regard to
mutuality or nature of interest or de—
fenses, and such joint or several judg-
ments or decrees maybe rendered there—
in,' including the enforcement of any
such lien as justice and equity may re—
quire. In every such case the process
of the court in the district where the ac—
tion or suit is brought and where one
defendant resides and is served shall
run to and may be served on any de—
fendant in any of the districts. It is
hereby made the duty of the secretary
' of the treasury to prescribe and e11—
force suitable regulations to carry out
the provisions of this section, including
the action in the bonded warehouses of
the ,United States or any other place
when such goods are deposited or sam-
ples of such goods until required for
evidence on any such trial.”
Bailey Objects.
The Democrats were alert. Mr. Bail—
ey immediately made the point that the
amendment was out of order.
Mr. Sherman, who was in the chair,
asked the grounds upon which the point
of order was made.
Mr. Bailey said he took it for grant-
ed that the chair understood it was Ob—
viously out of order, out Mr. Sherman
pleaded perfect ignorance and Mr. Bail—
ey proceeded to argue that the amend-
ment could not be held in. order after
the amendment of Mr. Dockery relat—
ing to the'suspension of rules on arti-
cles had been declared out of order. The
latter amendment proposed to exempt
articles from taxation in the future, he
said, and this proposed to go back and
tax them in the past. It was obnoxious
to the oldest and best rule of law that
a statute should be retroactive.
MriMcMillin of Tennessee made the
additional point of 01"de1 that the
amendment legulated the practice of
the cOurts and therefote was not in or-
der on this bill. ‘
Mr. Dalzell in response pointed out
the difference between the Docliery
amendment and this amendment. The
former was an individual amendment
and only in order when germane. This
was a committee amendment. -
Mr. Bailey denied that' the amend-
ment had been ratified by the full com-
mittee. He was a member of the com-
mittee and had never heard of, it. He
“admitted he had been absent for a few
minutes.
The members of the ways and means
committee filed back into ,the house and
Mr. Grosvenor again sent up the
amendment fixing date on which the
'motive left the rails.
bill was to go into effect, saying he was
"directed by the committee" to do'so.
" The Homestead strikes furnished a.
ten minutes’ diversion. Mr. Sulzer
(Dem., N. Y‘.) declared that everything
in the bill was in favor of the manu-.
facturer.
The Grosvenor amendment, making
the taziff duties go into effect April 1,
was then adopted, in committee of the
wholeby a vote of.150 to 120.
In the Senate.
The Cuban question came up soon
after the senate met today. Mr. Mills
of Texas presented a conCurrent reso-
lution instructing the committee on
foreign relations to inquire what, if
any, obligations the United States gov-
ernment had assumed toward’the peo-
ple of Cuba by preventing the acqui—
sition of that island by any European
power and compelling the people of
Cuba to remain subject to Spain.
“Let it go over,” remarked Mr. Hale
(Rep, Me), and this objection sent the
resolution over until tomorrow.
Mr. 'Morgan’s Cuban resolution then
came up. It calls on the president for
copies of letters said to have been writ—
ten by General Maximo Gomez, the Cu-
ban commander, to President McKin—
ley and his predecessor, the letters, be—
ing recited in detail.
Mr. Hale suggested that the resolu—
tion be broadened so as to include all
letters written by General Gomez in—
stead of these specific letters.
Mr. Morgan said he had not heard of
any other letters from Gomez, but he
was willing to include all that could be
reached.
Owing to the absence of Mr. Hoar of
Massachusetts. who had taken some in-
terest in the resolution, the matter
finally went over.
The senate then went into executive
session.
The Hoar amendment to the arbitra-
tion treaty was adopted by an over—
whelming vote.
To Aid Flood Sufferers.
Washington, April 1. —-The presi-
dent has signed the senate joint resolu-
tion making an appropriation of $230,-
000 immediately available for the pro—

One Day’s Government Receipts.
.Washington, April 1.-National bank
notes received today for redemption,
$341,216; government receipts from in—
ternal revenue, $221,172; customs; $1,-
246,011: miscellaneous, $16,814.
TROUBLE WITH PERU.
Arrest and Detention of 'an American
Sailor May Cause Complications.
Lima, Peru, April lz—The issue
raised between Peru and the United
States with lespect to the. imprisonment
of Ramsay, the American sailor, is be-
coming a serious matter.
The Peruvian government refuses to
accede to the demand of the United
States minister, Mr. McKenzie, t‘o set
him immediately at liberty.
Ramsay was a member of the crew of
the Cambrian Monarch. He was ar-
rested by the Peruvian authorities at
Callao about three months ago for al-
leged disorderly conduct. He was
thrown into jail and now has been con~
demned to a year’s imprisomnent.
though without the slightest formality
of legal trial.
This action by Peru isin direct con— ‘
diet with the provisions of article 15 of
the treaty between Peru and the I’nited
States.’
At the time Ramsay w as arrested an
English sailor was locked up on a sim-
ilar charge. He has been sentenced to
six months’ imprisonment in a similarly
arbitrary fashion.
The Massachusetts Democratic Club.
Boston, April 1.—The members of
the Massachusetts Democratic club
refused “to pass a resolution to the ef-
fect that the club shall support only
those who are in full accord with the
Chicago platform. The resolution oc-
casioned much discussion. The prin-
cipal address was made by Warren H.
Baker of Newton. His subject was
“Government by Injunction.”
To Prevent a Run on a Savings Bank.
Hartford, April 1.—Judge Hall is-
sued an order restraining the oflicers of
the Colchester Savings bank from pay-
ing any deposits to depositors, or from
paying any dividends for one year. The
injunction was granted 011 a petition by
the bank commissioners to prevent a
run on the bank. The commissioners
question the solvency of the bank.
