LUMBER TARIFF ‘ TALK.

White Pine the Cause of a Very Spir-
ited Discussion.

BATTERY AND BACON IN IT.

One a ‘Gold and the Other 3 Silver Dem-
. carat—Bitter Words From Senator
Allen—Amendments Propos-
ed by Senator Quay.

Washington, June 8.——In the senate
Mr. Quay .(Pa.) presented several pro-
posed amendments to the tariff bill.
One of them proposes to strike out the
duty on tea and substitute a duty of 10
per cent ad valorem on all articles
proposed by the bill to be placed on the
free list, these duties to continue until
July 1,1901, after which the articles
shall be exempt from duty. Another
amendment proposes a proviso to the
paragraph fixing a duty on iron ore, so
that all iron ore from foreign mines
owned by American citizens and im-
ported for their own use and not for
sale shall be exempt from duty.

The consideration of the tariff bill
was resumed soon after the session
‘opened, and the discussion proceeded
on the paragraph placing a duty of $2
per 1,000 feet on lumber. Mr. Allen-c
(Pop., Neb.) moved to substitute the
provisions of the Wilson bill, which
placed lumber on the free list. The
senator spoke in particular against re—
storing White pine to the dutiable list,
urging that the rates were designed to
be prohibitory against Canadian pine.

Called It “Larceny." ,

There was nothing, he said, in the
”claptrap argument” of; American high
wages, as the wages of lumbermen in
Canada were on the whole higher than
in the United States. This was simply
an attempt to pay back to the lumber
syndicate the advance which it had pos-
sibly made less than a year ago.

Larceny, he said, was larceny, no
matter under what name it was dis—
guised, and any law that permitted one
class of people to take from another
class its honest earnings was in the
eyes of every honest man nothing short
of absolute larceny—legalized larceny.
Mr. Allen referred to the various inter-
ested elements clamoring like jackals
for the benefits to be conferred by this
bill.

Mr. Berry (Ark.) spoke against re-
storing the duty on white pine. He
had been appealed to by the lumber
interests of his own state to support
the duty, but he could not do it when
it laid such heavy tribute on the agri-
cultural people of the western states.
Mr. Berry expressed his astonishment
that any Democratic senator would
support this'restoration of duty on
lumber. "

Mr. Bacon (Ga.) in supporting the
lumber duty reminded, Mr. Berry that
his (Bacon’s) support was due to
the fact thatthe duty was a revenue
rather than a protective rate.

Mr. Berry responded with a vehement
arraignment of the bill, -framed, he
said, in the interests of every trust
and combination in the country. When
he saw in the bill that it gave large in-
crease of duty to the Sugar trust and
to every other combination of capital,
this satisfied him that the measure
was framed distinctly on the lines of
protection and not of revenue.

Mr. Caffery (La.) Opposed the du-ty
on white pine and incidentally criticised
the position of Mr.«Bacon (Ga.), who,
he said, favored a protective duty. This
the senator from Georgia denied.
.Repndiates His State Representatives.

Mr. Caffery announced his opposition
to all protective duties. He favored the
imposition of pure revenue duties. He
said the supply of pine in this country
was inexhaustible and repudiated. the
"reputed” representatives of lumber in-
terests of his state who went before the
ways and means committee and asked
a duty of $2. He could not, he said,
find a single basis 'for this duty on lum-
ber so far as the southern timber in-
terests were concerned. Either this duty
must be justified on the theory of pro-
tection or it could not be justified at
all. He could not understand how Mr.
Bacon could defend the duty as a reve-
nue duty.

“The platform I stand on,” interposed
Mr. Bacon, “the orthodoxy of which the
senator from Louisiana may not sub-
scribe to (Mr. Caffery supported the
Indianapolis gold ticket) warrants my
position. The Chicago platform said,
‘We favor a tariff for revenue with du-
ties so adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country and not dis-
criminate as to class or section.’

“It is thatplank in the platform upon
which I stand," said Mr. Bacon.

Bailey Back In His Seat.

Mr. Bailey (Dem., Tex), the minority
leader, was in his seat when the house
.met, for the first time in a fortnight.
When Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) moved an
adjournment, Mr. Bailey said: “As
long as the Cuban resolution and the
bankruptcy bill are undisposed of we
feel constrained to resist these motions
to adjourn.” After the usual parlia-
mentary»-f1ght,' the speaker announced
the house adjourned until Thursday.

M’KINLBY’S MONEY ELAN.

Reported That He Will Appoint a Com-
mission to Investigate the Currency.
New York, June 8.—The World says

it is reported that the president has

written a special message to congress,

recommending the appointment of a

commission to investigate the currency

question and that he will send it to
congress as soon as the tariff bill is out
of the way.

The creation of such a commission has
been pressed upon the attention of Mr.
McKinley since he entered the White
House by the executive committee of
the Indianapolis monetary convention,
which has maintained headquarters in
this city.

H. H. Hanna of Indianapolis is chair-
man of the committee and has had fre-
quent consultation with the president
on the subject.

Secretary Gage is a stanch supporter
of the scheme, and from all that can be
learned the president thinks a commis-
sion of able men might get good results
from an investigation to be made the
basis for legislation at the regular ses-
sion of congress.

' N0 Bank Run In Dover.

Dover, Del., June 8.—-The First Na—
tional bank opened as usual, prepared
to-meet a run, but the run did not oc-
cur. The Farmers’ bank here has
pledged assistance, as has also the Na—
tional bank of Philadelphia. Sheriff
Shaw issued execution against former
sureties of William N. Boggs, the de-
faulting paying teller. Boggs’ defalca-
tion will exceed $100,000. The directors
have since Saturday Ideposited over
$150,000 as-an evidence of their faith in
the institution. President H. A. Rich-
ardson announced that he would back
the .bank to his last dollar. Of the de-‘
falcation it is probable that at least
half. will have to .come out of the bank's
capital, which is $100,000.

An Infant’s Remarkable Escape.

Lyons, N. Y., June 8.—Mrs. Saxon G.
Palmeter, while calling upon Mrs. N. D.

street. A gust of wind blew the carriage
down the decline into the Erie canal.
The child was thrown out, but its cloth-
ing spread out on the water, and the
child floated. Mrs. Palmeter rushed
down and jumped into the canal and
would have drirvned had not Michael
Henry, Jr., and Edward Roberts, two
schoolboys, jumped in and rescued her.
The infant was also rescued, none the
worse for the accident.

“However, ” said he, “I am at my coun-
try’s service, should any demand be
made."
