THE EVENING GAZETTE. ‘ ' 1 ti - .——— iuiuuuuuini Roger (3. Mills Pleads FOr Him In the Senate. NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT. “’ifison Nominated ins IUmited States Min- ister to Chile, Powell ‘Gets the’ Haitian Mission, and Leishman Is Named as Envoy 1.0 Switzerland. Washington, June 10.—The venerable Mr. Morrill of Vermont, chairman of the finance committee, was in the sen— ate, after an illness of some weeks. A concurrent resolution offered by Mr. Allen (Nell) was agreed to, nationaliz— ing the trausmississippi exposition, to be held at Omaha, and requesting the president to invite foreign nations to participate. A joint resolution on the same general subject was agreed to suspending the immigration and Chi- nese exclusion laws so as to permit for- eign labor to take charge of foreign ex- hibits at the transmississippi exposi- tic-n. Consideration of the tariff bill was re- sumed at 12:15 p. m.‘ No mention was made as to the time of taking up the sugar schedule, and the debate proceed- ed on the agricultural schedule. On the rice paragraph Mr. Allison, in charge of the bill, withdrew the committee amend— ments reducing the house rates, leaving the house rates to stand. Mr. Mills (Tex) moved to strike out the entire rice paragraph and substi- tute a new one placing a uniform duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on all grades of rice. Rejected—yeas, 19; nays, 40. Five Democrats—Bacon, Clay, Mc— Enery, McLaurin and Tillman—and four Populists—Allen, Butler, Heitfeld and Stewart—voted with the Republic- ans in the negative. The rice paragraph was then agreed to as it came from the house. ' . Rye and rye fiour were agreed to as reported. Tapioca Starts a Speech. Paragraph 231 on tapioca had been struck out by the senate. On the ques- tion of agreeing to this change, Mr. Rawlins (Utah) took the floor to an- swer Mr. _Vest’s statements that “a new evangel”_ of Democratic doctrine was being proclaimed by certain Demo— cratic senators. Mr. Rawlins said he had been a member of the committee on resolutions and platform at the Chi- cago convention, presenting that tariff clause which had been under discus— sion. It was on his. motion it was agreed to. Mr. Lindsay (Ky.), platform in hand, interrupted to ask Mr. Rawlins, since he presented the tariff clause, why the good old Democratic word “only” after “tariff for revenue” came to be omit~ ted. Was it an intentional omission? Mr. Lindsay asked. “I think not,” re- sponded Mr. Rawlins. “I can throw some light on that sub- ject,” said Mr. Tillman, who was also a member of the committee on platform at the Chicago convention. “It was omitted purposely after discussion.” Mr. Rawlins reviewed the course of the Democratic party in early tariff legislation. The essential principle of this was that all burdens and benefits should be borne equally. This was no “new evangel,” no vile reptile or rattle- snake, as Mr. Vest had characterized it, and there was no need of any Demo- cratic senator invoking the Almighty against such doctrine. It came to Democratic senators pure and undefiled from the Democratic fathers, and he would support it. ' hIills Speaks For the “Forgotten Elan.” Mr. Mills (Dem., Tex.) spoke on the general features of the bill. For two months, he said, the congressional com— mittees had sought to adjust and re- adjust and readjust again the tariff law in the interest of a monstrous trust fund, which this bill is intended to raise. He came, he said, to speak for the “forgotten man,” the taxpayer, from whose labor and sweat was to be wrung by legislative rapine this vast fund for distribution among favored beneficiaries. Here 'was a bill of confiscation, he declared, proposing to take the property of those who were not favorites, the "forgotten man” who is labOTing in the streets and fields. And yet, when an explanation was asked for the exorbi- ‘ tant rates of this bill, no answer was given save “What are you going to do about it?” Mr. Mills warned those on the other side of the chamber to re- member that Biblical injunction: “For all these things God will bring you into judgment.” The process of framing this 'bill proceeded against the fundamental principle of the Anglo-Saxon doctrine that every man shall have a hearing. But there was a tribunal whose doors always stood open, and before that tribunal the projectors of this bill would be summoned. In 1890 a similar act had fallen like the bubonic plague on the country and the tribunalof the peo- ple had put the Republican party in quarantine. Mr. Mills declared that the effect of this bill was to swell the value of man- ufactured product to the extent of, billions, adding to the wealth of its possessors and taking it from the pock- ets of the masses. A Bitter Protest. Against this stupendous system of legislative robbery and rapine he pro- tested, in the hope of arousing the at- tention and indignation of the American people. Mr. Mills referred to the efforts at past Democratic national conventions to lead it away from its fundamental opposition to a protective tariff and to make it “walk blindfolded into the Re- publican party as the advocate of class legislation.” He spoke of the contest in the Democratic national convention of 1892 over an unequivocal Democratic declaration on the tariff. Turning to the Democratic senators who had voted for a duty on cotton, Mr. Mills showed how the delegations of Georgia, South .Carolina and Utah had supported un— equivocal declarations in 'national con— ventions against a protective tariff. \Vilson For Minister to Chile.

Failing Health Causes Him to Abandon Outside Work. New York, June 10.—Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst has abandoned politics. He has abandoned slumming, and he has given up the active work of the So- ciety For the Prevention of Crime and the City Vigilance league. Hereafter his entire time will be given to church work. Dr. Parkhurst announced these facts before sailing on the Germania. The poor condition of Dr. Parkhurst’s health is the cause of his retirement. Two weeks ago this condition was‘very serious, and he was unable last Sunday to deliver a farewell address to his con— gregation, before starting on his annual vacation. The announcement of his retirement was made in a brief letter and through Mr. Rudd, the doctor’s assistant. In his 1 letter Dr. Parkhurst says: “If the temporary impairment of my health is in a measure due to obligations outside of the strict limit Of my parish, I want to say that my entire thought this summer will be given to the re-es- tablishment of my health, and that upon my return and so long as I sustain my present relation to this church, my one devotion will be to my pulpit, to the life and work of this church and to the interests of the families and individual members.” This means, according to Mr. Rudd, that Dr. Parkhurst's career as a public man is ended. “He has made a mag- nificent victory,” Mr. Rudd said. Re- garding the coming campaign, Mr. Rudd said that Dr. Parkhurst would make no such fight as he made in 1894, but would give advice when asked and speak if unusual circumstances de- manded. ' Conspiracy Against a Wife. Brooklyn, June 10.—On behalf of Mrs. Smith, who is being sued by her hus- band, Marion Smith, otherwise known as “Diamond” Smith, for absolute di- vorce, witnesses were called to support Mrs. Smith’s contention that her dis- covery in the Vanderbilt hotel 'with “Mr. Lamb” was the result of a conspiracy, that she was lured there on the pre— tence that Lamb had a piano to sell. Soon after the opening of the case James W. Ridgway, former district at- torney, withdrew as counsel for the plaintiff. He had asked that the case be delayed in order that evidence might be obtained to refute the testimony of one of his own witnesses in regard to the conspiracy. This was refused. Cricket Match Declared 011‘. Oxford, England, June lO.—-Rain fell during the night, and the field was a swamp. Therefore a conference was held between Captain F. H. E. Cunliffe of the Oxford university cricket eleven and Captain George S. Patterson of the Philadelphia eleven, with the result that they decided not to resume the cricket match between the two teams. The match, therefore, is closed, with the score standing 363 for the Oxford men, all out in their first innings, and 163 for the Philadelphians, with seven wickets down in their first innings. For an International Handicap. San Francisco, June 10.—The Pacific Coast Jockey club directors are trying to arrange an international handicap to be decided at Ingleside next spring. A $20,000 or $30,000 purse will be offered if the directors can bring together the best of American, Australian, Irish and English thoroughbreds. Chicago’s Fireworks Explosion. Chicago, June 10.——Miss Margaret Kin- ney, one of the persons injured during the explosion of fireworks at a Halsted and Van Buren streets factory, is dead. Nearly 40 persons were injured and others may die. , Suicide of a Woman Postal Clerk. Wilmington, Del., June 10.—Miss Hal- lie Rile, aged 40 years, registry clerk in the Wilmington postoffice, committed suicide by throwing herself from a third story window. Her neck was broken. Monster German Trout Caught. Catskill, N. Y., June 10.-——A monster German trout has been caught by Cecil Brussie of Philmont.

Washington, June 10.—Application for appointment as supervising inspector of steam vessels at Norfolk, Va., has been made by J. W. Oast of Norfolk. Advance In Refined Sugar. New York, June 10,—Another advance in the price of refined sugar was made. Certain grades were moved up 1-16 per cent. ' J. Shelly, > TO PLAY POKER BY OABLE. Talk of an International Game Between Congress and Parliament. \Vashington, June . 9. —— Congressmen are discussing the suggestion made by a member of parliament at the close oi the international chess tournament that an international tournament of draw poker be played between members of parliament and members of our house. Draw ,poker is regarded as distinctly an American game, and the hardihood of the Britishers in proposing such a test of skill is considered little short of effrontery. The general opinion among poker playing representatives is that a. game or series of games by cable would be unsatisfactory, if not impracticable. A veteran Kentucky congressman says: “You can’t play a game with a fellow until you have studied him a bit. You want to look into his face pretty close- ly and see how he handles his cards. You want to see how he draws and what he does with the cards that he draws. You want to discover how he bears up under a. losing game and whether or not he is rattled.” A canvass among members shows that the suprema‘cy of the Texas dele— gation is generally conceded. Fore- most On the list, it is conceded, the name of Colonel De Graffenried would appear. The colonel is a 6001, imper- turbable player who never gets rattled, and his countenance is a puzzle to his antagonists. He plays boldly at times, but never recklessly. Next to Colonel de Graffenried a place would be assigned to his genial col— league, Sam Cooper, a conservative player, wary, vigilant and skillful. Next on the list perhaps would come Joe Bailey, leader of the house Democrats, a player of rare judgment and caution, who studies the game intensely. Bai- ley’s only weakness is a liability to get nervous when he is losing. The smooth shaven and imperturbable Rhea of Ken- tucky would be a strong member of the American team. There is not much dash about Rhea, but he is cautious and safe. llillinns For German Workman.
