.,....r

WASHINGTON, J une 22.—There was a
fairly good attendance in the galleries in
anticipation of the opening of the income
tax debate when Vice President Stevenson
called the senate to order today. Some
. preliminary routine business was trans,-
acted. Bills were passed as follows:
3 To authorize a commission to draft a code

of laws for the district of Alaska; to pro-
mote the efficiency of the navy, and to de-
fine the boundaries of the three judicial
districts in the state of Alabama, and tc
regulate the jurisdiction of the United
States courts therein and the powers and
duties of the judges thereof.

At 10:30 the tariff bill was laid before
the senate. As soon as the clerk had read
the first section of the income tax provi-
sions Mr. Hill (Dem., N. Y. ), who assum
ed the leadership of the opposition to‘those
provisions, took .the floor and delivered a
carefully prepared argument against the
incorporation of an income tax in the tar
ifi‘ bill.

Mr. Hill's Speech.

Senator Hill said in part:

‘ ‘We have now reached the consideration
of one of the most important features 01
the pending measure—important not only
because the tax which it seeks to impose
equals in the‘aggregateabout one-fifteenth
of the whole federal taxation of the Unit-
ed States. but because of the peculiar na
ture of the burden as well as the vast and
varied interests which it injuriously af-
fects. ”

Mr. Hill said the u. while certain Demo-
’ cratic senators had attempted to defend
the income tax they had never answered
his former argument against it.

Continuing, Mr. Hill said:

“Prudence dictated that this congress
should not attempt to formulate new
Democratic doctrines to which we have
never been committed, but rather carry
out the pledges we have already made.
It is a wise party which does those things
which it ought to do and has promised to
do and leaves undone those things which
. it ought not to do and has not promised tc
do.

‘ Peihaps I overestimate the importance
of party platforms and appreciate toc
keenly the binding obligations of party
pledges. I believe that it is the solemn
duty of a political party to redeem the
promises upon which it obtained power
and that repudiation thereof will soonei
or later bring disaster upon it at the 1111th
of a betrayed and indignant people. I re-

'wisdom, it is folly to be wise.

“We have recently“ seen a Democratic
house of representatives refuse to repeal a
federal tax upon state bank circulation—a
tax imposed under the taxing power of the
constitution ostensibly for revenue, but in
fact producing no revenue whatever, and
a tax utterly indefensible in principle, in
tended to be prohibitory in efleot—such
repeal having been expressly favored in
our national platform, while the same
house went out of its way to inject a Pop-
ulistic income tax in a Democratic tarifl
bill, and the senate is now asked to ratify
a portion of such inconsistent action. For
one, I protest against the repudiation ol
the promises of the Democratic party in
order to adopt and carry 0'. It the promise:
of the Populist pnrty.’

Among the conceded facts that the situ-
ation produced, Mr. Hill said, those that
stood o It in prominence were the facts
that the income tax had 110v er been adopt-
ed by the Democratic party; that it was a
war tax; that it had never been approved
by a vote of the people; that there was no
genuine emergency calling for its adop-
ti‘on.

Mr. Hill went into the history to show
that the inc me tax had always beena
war tax, and continuing he said:

“Look at the inconsistent position in
which this proposed. legislation will place
the Democratic party. For 25 years we
have clamored against war taxes. We have
minded the people over and over again
that they suffer from war tariff legisla~
tion. We have invokozl the patriotism of
our citizens to obliterate every unpleasant
and unnecessary feature that remains oi
that great conflict which can be properly
eliminated. Test oaths have been abolish-
ed. General Amnesty has been decreed;
past differences have been so far happily
discarded and forgotten that those who
were conspir nous in thoii devotion to the
lost cans in the. gr. eat conflict- are now
our honored and trusted lendexs in both
houses of congress. largely shaping the leg-
islation and destinies in a reunited coun-
try. Northern capital is seeking invest-
ment in southern states. and southern men
of brains and ambition are finding homes
in northern cities, where a cordial wel-
come always awuits them. The pacific'a-
tion of the country has been largely effect-
ed, and sectional aninioSities and jealous-

ies are fast dying out.
"1 et now after a quarter or a century

has passed away and the Democratic party
for the first time since the war has been
intrustod with the full control of the gov-
ernment one of our very first acts is to re-
store the most odious inquisitorial and
offensive war taxes with which a free peo
ple are over afflicted. If this is political

true Democracy, I want none of it.
this is the best leadership which we can
present in this great crisis, I, for one,
must decline to follow it. I prefer to
stand with J efi’erson, Jackson and Tilden
in opposition to all income times and di-
rect federal taxation, but in favor of a
revenue for federal purposes and direct
taxation for state purposes.
. “I repudiate the spuriéus Democracy of
these modern apostles and prophets, who
are part Mugwump, part Populist and— the
least part Democrat, who seek to lead us
astray after false gods, false theories and
false methods. I'object to our motoring a
war tax which the Republcians them-
selves rejected years ago with our appro-
bation. "

Senator Hill closed with a strong arguo

ment against the constitutionality of the
bill.
In the House.

The house was called to order by Mr.
Bailey today, the speaker being still un-
able to be'present. Prayer was offered by
the senate chaplain, who feclingly referred

A1 house bill to sell Certain lands in.
Montgomery county, Ark , to the Metho«

on motion of Mr. Breckinridge (Dem.,
Ark. ).

Mr. Kern (Pop, Nob.) secured the pas-
sage of the house bill to amend section 3
of the act to withdraw certain public
lands from private entry. It provides
that, if any settler has forfeited or shall
hereafter forfeit a claim to public lands,
he shall be permitted to make entry of
not to exceed a quarter section of public
lands the same as if he had not previously
made entry. '

Mr. Alderson (Dem., W. Va.) endeavor-
ed to secure the consideration of a joint res-
olution directing the secretary of the treas-
ury to repay to the governor of West Viro
ginia the 2111101 ml; of direct taxes levied
against that state, amounting to about
$153,000, but objection was made by Mr.
Burrows (Mich). , -

Mr. Black (Dem., Ills. ), from the com-
mittee on military afi‘airs, called up the
house joint resolution to appoint three
members of the board of managers of the
National Home For Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers, and it was agreed to.

Why the Correspondents Are Free.

WASHINGTON, June 22.—'An , unusual
delay has taken place in making the oili-
cial report of the result of the delibera-
tions of the grand jury in the cases of Cor-
respondents Edwards and Shriver. Both
of the alleged contumacious witnesses
have been notified twice to appear to give
bail on designated days, but each time the
notice was countermanded owing to lack
of readiness on the part of the govern-
ment.

The Rebels Attack 3 Church In Which
They 'Hoped To Find Malletoa.

AU cKLANo, New Zealand, June 22. -'-Ad-
vices from Samoa, dated J 11118 14, reached
here today.

According to these dispatches, the Brit-
ish warship Curacoa and the German war-
ship Bussard visited the locality of the reb-
el cam recon tly and notified the rebels that
if 10 c iefs and 50 guns were surrendered
no attack would be made upon them by
the government forces.

The rebels were also informed that if
they resolved to reject this proposition
and to fight they were at liberty to send
their women and children on board the
Curaooa and Buzzard.

After some deliberation the rebels sent
10 chiefs and 50 worthless guns on board
the warships,which shortly afterward left
the vicinity of the rebel camp. .

After the departure of the warships the
rebels reoccuple‘d the forts which they .had
deserted and openly defied the government
forces.

0n the Sunday following the visit of
the warships to- tbe rebel camp the rebels

fired upon a village where Chief Maliotoa ‘

at the time.

Chief Malletoa is said to have been
greatly grieved at the attempt made upon
his life.

When these dispatches left Samoa, skir‘
mishes were taking place between the
rebels and the government forces, but
there had been no severe fighting.

three of the most prominent men of the

visited by one of the worst storms in its
history, and occasion: ll rumors outside were
that Lincoln has be destroyed. The
wind blew as it 11211:. 01.11 blown before,
and the rain fell in lc.1:11*.11 s. The streets
were well occupied with humanity when
the’storm broke. For the first 10 or 15
minutes there was no rain, but the air was
full of everything portable. Papers,
baskets, wooden sidewalks and branches
of trees and dust filled the air, and the
only wonder is that there were not many
more people injured. As it was, one or
two narrow escapes from death were re-
ported and many painful accidents.

The velocity of the wind was 84 miles
an hour. This would make it seem that
the city was visited by a tornado, if noth-
ing stronger. The greatest damage was
probably to shade trees along the streets,
and the loss in this respect is almost in--
calculable. Trees were broken 03 close to
the ground in many instances and almost
denuded of branches in others. In many
places the sidewalks were torn up and
progress of the street cars impeded by
fallen trees. Billboards and exposed signs
were unable to withstand the . furious
wind, and many outbuildings and roofs
scattered about assist in making the city
look as though it had experienced a
tw1ster. .

and damage to small property was very

great. .

ALLEN ATTACKS CHANDLER.

lie Declares That the New Hampshire Sou-
ator Puts Himself In the Attitude or a
Baboon on Every Occasion—An.
tioption In the House.

WASHINGTON. J une 21.—Mr. Pefl'er
(Pop., Kan.) addressed the senate briefly
at the opening of today’s session in so ;1-
port of his resolution instructing the com-
mittee on postofi‘ices and post roads to re-
port back a postal savings bill.

Mr. Manderson (Rep., Neb.) said he
had introduced a postal savings bill based
on the English system, but he did not
favor the paternalistic scheme of Mr. Pefa
for, which contemplated making the gov-
ernment the banker of the people and the
complete extinction of private financial
institutions. No action was taken on the
resolution. A resolution offered by Mr.
,Cullom (Rep., Ills. ), instructing the com-
missioner of pensions to report to the sen-
ate what portion of the annual appropria.
tions for pensions will remain unexpended
at the end of the present fiscal year, end-
ing June 30, 1894, was agreed to without

objection.

Mr. Sherman (Rep. ., O. ) presented a
joint resolution passed by the Ohio legis-
lature relating to the celebration of the
one-—hund1cdth anniversary of the victory
of ener ‘Anthony Wayne at Fallen Tim-
ber Aug. '1‘, 1794, which marked the con.
quest of the Indian nation. It was appro-
priately referred. Several bills of minor
importance were passed as folloWs:

To prevent the carrying of obscene liter-
ature and articles for indecent and im-
moral use from one state into another over
interstate roads;" to authorize the city of

" .3'.lngs. Minn., to construct a wagon

brid e over the Mississippi river; to an-

$12%gfie holding of‘ term of the
Sass court at Montpelier, Vt.

%The tariff mm was then laid before tho
senate. The consideration of the free list
Wes resumed, the pendin uestion being
- r. Peffer’ s amendmen o strike salt
fr m the free list and place it on the duti-
able list at 5 cents per 100 pounds. The
present duty on salt is 8 cents.

, Free Salt Talk.

Mr. Pefi'er explained that personally he
favored free salt, but that his const1tuents
interested in salt manufactures believed
they would be injuriously affected by plac-
ing salt on the free list.

This being. a protective measure, while
he and his people were ready for free trade
if the rest of the country was, he submit-
ted that the salt industry of Kansas was
as much entitled to protection as other in-
dustries protected by this bill were. The
amendment was advocated by Messrs.
Quay, Hzlwley and Platt. The last named
said that the average annual consumption
of salt was 50 pounds per capita, so that
at best, if salt were made free, individuals
would be benefited to the extent of only
4 cents per annum. Why $400,000 of
revenue to the treasury and the protection
of the salt industry should'be thrown away
for such a pittance to the American people
he could not understand. Mr. Allison also
warmly supported the amendment, which
Was lost—24 to 33.

Mr. Morrill (Rep., Vt ) moved to ex-
clude “grass seeds” from the operation of
the paragraph placing all seeds on the
free list. Lost.

The finance committee amendment re-
stricting free entry of raw silk to such as is
not manufactured, in any way was agreed
to. Then paragraph 641, “sugars,” was
reached. It was expected that some de-
bate would occur, but none took place.
Mr. Aldrich merely demanded a yea and
nay vote on the finance committee amend-
ment to strike this paragraph from the
free list, where it was placed by the bonse.

A Sugar Test.

The committee amendment carried by
33 to 22, the Republicans, except Quay,
voting solidly against, and the Democrats
for it. Mr. Pefier (Rep., Kan.) voted with
the Republicans, and Messrs. Kyle and
Allen (Pop.) with» the Democrats. The
detailed vote was as follows:

Yeas—Allen, Bate, Berry, Blanchard.
Cafi'ery, Call, Camden, Cockrell, Daniel,
Faulkner, George, Gordon, German, Har-
ris, Hunton, Irby Jervis, Jones (Ark. ),
Kyle, McPherson, Mitchell (Wis. ), Mur-
phy, Palmer, Pasco, Pugh, Quay, Ban-
som, Roach, Smith, Vest, Voorhees,
Walsh and White—total, 33.

Nays—Aldrich, Carey, Chandler, Cul-
lom, Dubois, Frye, Gallinger, Hale, Haw-
ley, Higgins, Hoar, Lodge, Mitchell (0r.),
Morrill, Pcfi'er, .Perkins, Platt, Power,
Proctor, Shoup, and Teller—22.

Pairs were not announced for Mr. Hill
or Mr. Stewart, who did not vote.

Both Messrs. Allen and Kyle, after the
announmment of the vote, said that their
votes today did not indicate how they
would vote on the sugar schedule when
the consideration of the bill was‘complet-
ed and it was reported to the senate.

A provision was added to paragraph 643
' —“sulphuric acid”—restricting its free
entry to such cOuntries as impose no duty
on sulphuric acid oxportcd from the United
States

Teazles were stricken from the free list.
Mr. Jones offered an amendment to add
hbullion and metal threads of gold, silver.
and other metals” to the free list, but ob-
jection being made by Mr. Platt it was
withdrawn. Mr. Jones offered as a sub
stitute for paragraphs 669 and 670 the pres-
ent provision with regard to the admission
free of duty of wearing apparel and other
personal effects of residents, of the United
States returning from abroad. ' The effect
of this was to strike out the provision of
the bill as it crime from the house, limit-
ing the value of wearing apparel and per
sonal effects so excmV. t to $260.

' ‘ ‘ A Sensgjif'tr‘ Ftflsode. -

A rather sens .niicnnl episode occurred at
12:30.:‘121141‘0: Allen aweb. )moved to put
all lumbm o: 1 ti. s free list. Senator
Chandler charged that the Nebraska sens
tor had made a bargain with the Demo

' cratic side tOObtaln 1r.

 

' 3 1n explaining his
vote on sugar, the announcement that he
had not yet made up his mind how to
vote on the final bill was a threat, and in
getting this amendment adopted he was
completing a bargain. Allen retorted that
his vote and action was none of Mr.
Chandlcr’ sbusiness. Chandler said he pro—
posed to make it his business.

Mr. Allen subsequently obtained the
floor and replied to Mr. Chandler’s re~
marks. He claimed that he (Allen) was

not to be deterred from his purpose by a“

senator who put himself in the attitude of
a baboon on every possible occasion.

By a'party vote it was decided to put
logs and lumber, including dressed lum-
ber, on the free list.

The free list was completed at 1:30.

In the House.

Speaker Crisp being still unable to pre-

side over the house, Mr. Bailey (Dem.,

Tex.) called that body to order today. '

Rev. Mr. Milburn offered the prayer.

On motion of Mr. Haugcn (Rep., Wis.)
the senate resolution directing thata com«
mission of three engineers be appointed to
examine the harbors of Superior and Du—

luth, with a view to obtaining a uniform -'

depth of 20 feet, was agreed to.

The house then went into committee of
the whole to consider the antloption bill
after unanimously agreeing that all do-
bato on the bill and pending amendments
should be closed at adjournment tomor-
row, when the previous question should
be considered as ordered on the bill, the
vote to be taken immediately after the
morning hour on Friday.

Mr. Goldzier (Dem. ., Ills.) spoke in op—
position to the bill. 1He said that, while
he had been charged with being affiliated
with the Chicago Stock Exchange, he do-
nied the allegation, asserting that his con-
stituents were as bitterly opposed to stock
exchanges as were the farmers.

WASHINGTON, June 21.—The president

MISSING MAJOR MOOBE.

I
...‘ .

A Promincqt Pitt-burg Citizen Who Has
msteriously Disappeared.

errsnonc, J one 2 .——A personal in a
New York paper asking for information
concerning the whereabouts of Samuel E.
Moore evidently refers to Major Samuel
E. Moore, who has been missing from his
home here for the past five weeks.

Major Moore is a well known business
man of Pittsburg, formerly a stockholder
in the Carnegie Steel company and lately
a successful real estate dealer. He went
to New York five weeks ago to attend a
meeting of the South American Railroad
company.

Shortly after the meeting he disappeared
from the Fifth Avenue hotel, where he
was stopping, and he has not been seen
since. His baggage is still at the hotel.

Pittsburg and New York police have.

been working on the case, but no clew
has developed.

Major Moore originated the Keeley
league after he had made a. successful visit
to Dwight, Ills., several years ago, and
for the past three years has been president
of the National Keeley league. His fam-
ily and friends incline to the foul play

‘ theory.

Later—The report is denied by Major
Moore’s friends here. It is claimed that
he has been in N ew York on business for
two weeks, and that a telegram has been
received from him stating that he would
