TARIFF TEST TQ-DAY
After Twelve Hours' Continuous
Debate Upon McKin-
ley's Bill the
MEASURE IS STILL INTACT.
Tho Vigorous Attack Upon tho Sugar
Bounty Ends in Failure.
A DOZEN BEPOBLIOAKB BOLTED,
Bnt Democratic Absentees Saved the Scheme
From Defeat.
TEE PARTI LASH CALLED INTO FLAT
The debate upon the tariff bill has been
practically closed, and the final vote is set for
soon to-day. Q ui te a number of Republicans
ere protesting against particular features,
bnt it is believed that they trill be in line
at the finish. Eleven Republicans voted
against the sugar bounty yesterday, but
were defeated. A vote was cot reached
upon either wool or tin plate.
tSrSCUL TZLEGBAK TO TUX CISPATCn.l
"Washington-, May 20. If the Demo
crats had been ont in force the tariff bill
would have been badly disfigured, but, as
it is, when the House adjourned just before
midnight, after a continuous session of ever
12 hours, McKinley's measure was practi
cally intact. Eleven Republicans voted
against the most important feature of the
bill the sugar bounty but there were
enough y Democratic absentees to avert de
feat, an d the bill will go to a vote to-morrow-,
in all the important provisions, just as
it came from the committee.
To-day the Democrats were indifferent, ap
parently willing to let Republicans do the
kicking, but they were generally of a very
aimless fcind, like Mr. Abner Taylor, of
Chicago( for instance, who, as the evening
waned, consumed his entire time confessing
that while he did not like the bill, and spoke
vaguely of several items to which he object
ed, he must, nevertheless, vote for the
whole bill.
CUBSING THE KICKEBS.
It was this sort of confession, occurring
frequently, which disgusted Republicans
and led the sensible ones among them to say
with some profanity to these weak-kneed
brethren that if they did not like the bill to
Tote againstflt, and not complain that they
were driven to support it by the party lash.
It is a fact th t many of the leading Repub
licans would rather see the bill fail than
have it go forth that it was passed by the
help of votes which were given only under
the operation of the party whip.
Generally speaking, the kicking seems to
be largely the result of a desire on the part
of the kickers to make themselves conspicu
ous. It was expected all day long that the
tin-plate claftse would occasion a lively de
bate, bnt the day passed, but at midnight
no movement had been made to amend or
discuss it, and those having the bill in
charge say that will cot probably be dis
cussed to-morrow.
THE PINAL VOTE.
The House will meet at 11 o'clock to
morrow, and there will be little time for
debate, as the vote is to be taken at 12, and
the probabilities are that no discussion will
be had on tin plate, and that the bill will
pass with the 2 2-10 a pound rate on tin
plate as it cow stands.
The most interesting debate of the day
was precipitated when McKenna, of
California, moved an amendment to the
sugar schedule reducing the existing sched
ule 33 per cent, and retaining the dividing
line at 13 instead of 1G, as in the present
bill. He then attacked the sugar schedule
in the McKinley bill amid great applause
on toe Democratic side. Mr. McKenna said
that the pending bill in all particulars, ex
cept the .sugar schedule, was brave and
strong strong because it was brave. In the
"ugar schedule it was timid, time-serving
and weak weak because it was time-serving
and timid.
In the other schedules the bill carried out
the Republican principles, bnt in the sugar
schedule the bill refused to one industry the
Republican principle. It might be well for
Republicans to pause and consider wnat
they were doing as to iis practical and po
litical effect, if .not to its moral effect.
BESEBTINO THE PLATFOBM.
The Chicago platform enumerated the
ways and means of reducing the revenue
and declared that the internal revenue sys
tem should be destroyed rather than any
part of the protective system should be sur
rendered. The sugar industry was part of
the protective system. It was surrendered
by thisbilL The sugar schedule pointed
as directly as ever free trader pointed to the
benefit of buying in the cheapest market.
Democratic applause.
Wool was not produced to the extent of
our wants, and no one could predict when it
would be. Democratic applause. The
bill made sugar a contraband in the protec
tive system. It made tbe sugar industry a
parasite on the Treasury by the granting of
a bounty. It put the sugar business under
police inspection, and thrnst into its affairs
the spies of the revenue department.
If the bounty principle were correct why
cot apply it to other things? Democratic
applause. "Why not apply it to tin plate
laughter and save at once (if the commit
tee was right, he was only repeating its rea
sons, not indorsing them) 7,000,000 in reve
nue and taxation? Then we would nave
cheap tin to go with cheap sugar.
ANT NPMBEB OP QUESTIONS.
"Why not apply it to linen goods, which
we didn't produce, and rive the tieonle
cheap linen to go with cheap tin and cheap
sugar? Laughter. Why not apply it to
wool until that article was produced in this
country to the extent of the people's wants?
Democratic laughter. A bounty would
eppearas beneficient in those indnstries as
in the sugar industry. Think of the splcn
did political effect upon the Republican
party when it was enabled to poiut with
vrlat (as all parties pointed) to tbe work
jngniau and the farmer sitting down to a
cheap breakfast in a cheap suit of clothes.
Jjaugnter.j
amendment referred, to what he termed the
fallacious position taken by the gentleman
from California, (Mr. McKenna). That
position was specious and dangerous. If he
(Cimnon) could not give a reason, in
harmony with the Republican platform, and
with tho principle of protection why sngar
should be placed on tho (reo Hit, ho would
forsake his position. What was the position
ol the Republican party touching the pro
tective system? To relieve irom duty tnose
articles of foreign production, except
luxuries, the like of which could not be
produced at home.
A FOREIGN PliODUCT.
Was sugar a foreign product which could
not be produced in tbe United States in
sufficient quantities to supply the home
market? Last rear the imports of sugar
amounted lb f 03,000,000 (12,000,000 of this
coming trom the Sandwich Islands. The
duty was $56,000,000. The production of
the United States was one-eighth of the
consumption. Less sugar was produced in
this country than was produced 30 years
ago. '
Mr. Morrow, of California, supported the
amendment offered by his colleague (Mr.
McKenna), on the ground that it was the
only legitimate method of protection, and
for the further reason that the revenue of
555,000,000 derived from sugar was neces
sary to meet the obligations of tbe Govern
ment. Mr. McKinley closed tbe discussion with
an argument in support of the sugar
schedule of the hill. Some gentleman on
tbe other side bad said that when the Dem
ocrats came into the majority they would
refuse to make any appropriation to pay
tbe bounty. Fearing this, the committee
had provided that appropriation for the
payment of bounties should be a permanent
one.
ELEVEN BEFUELICAN BOLTEBS.
The McKenna amendment was rejected
115 to 134 Messrs. McKenna, Morrow,
O'Neill, of Pennsylvania; Harmer, De
haven, Bartinc. Vandever. Dorsey. Kerr, of
Iowa, Coleman and Reyburn voting in the
affirmative. Mr. Stewart,ot Verraont.oflered
an amendment extending the bounty to
maple sugar. Lost 51 to 95:
Mr. McKinley offered an amendment fix
ing the duty on shotguns valued at no more
than 12, at 33 per cent; valued at more
than $12. 40 per cent; pistols and revolving
pistols, 35 per cent The House was in a
great deal of confusion, amid which the
Chair put the question on tbe amendment,
and declared it carried.
But Mr. Walker, of Massachusetts, was
loud in his protests, claiming that he was
entitled to the floor, having addressed the
Chair for recognition in order to oppose the
amendment He was very earnest in his
protest and was warmly applauded by the
Democrats. Mr. McKinley asked consent
that the gentleman irom Massachusetts be
allowed to proceed, but Mr. Walker de
clined to be heard on any man's permission.
He would be heard in his own right or aot
at all.
A NEW ENGLAND KICKEB.
The Chairman, saying that there was no
occasion for any fling. recoenizd Mr.
Walker, who said t a the Wa s and Meani
Committee had coum to the point where the
ways divided, and instead of pro e -ting
American industries, it had come io the
point where it was striking them down. If
the amendment were adopted, within fiye
y a s the business of juanuiactur eg un
arm ia luis country would be destroyid.
Mr. Linde, of Minnesota, made a fierce at
tack upon the Binding Vwine Trust. He as
serted tbat the action of the committee in
placing the raw material on the Iree list
without making any reduction of the duty
on the finished product amounted to an in
crease of 700 per cent in the protection, and
when the statement ras nnestinnpri hv rmi.
'of his Republican colleagues he proceeded
wgivetnem what be called a lesson in
school arithmetic to justify his assertion.
Mr. McKinley asked that unanimous con
sent be given for gentlemen to print amend
ments in the Record.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa What good
does that do? I offered an amendment Yes
terday restoring the present duty on wool
and woolens, and I want a vote on it Ap
plause on Democratic side.
A motion to rise was agreed to 81 to 41
amid a great deal of contusion, and then
the House at 11:20 adjourned.

IKFECIAt. TELEGRAM TO TOE PISPATCH.l
Cincinnati, May 20. The ninth May
Festival under the direction of Theodore
Thomas, opened to-night at Music Hall.
The audience was one of the finest ever
assembled in the great auditorium. It
numbered nearly 6,000 and was of
a most fashionable cast. The chorns was
composed of 500 voices and the orchestra
contained 125 musicians, the pick of
the local talent. The 'soloists of the
evening were Mile. Devere, Mrs.
Toedt, Miss Winant, Mr. Lloyd
and Mr. Whitney. A happy selection for
inaugurating the festival was made in "The
Messiah," which was grandly given in its
entirety.
The performance on the whole was emi

immense audience to the pitch of enthusiasm-
The orchestra is fully up to
the standard of the past The
chorns, while admirably trained,
showed a slight weakness in the male
portion. The tenor, Lloyd, was not is his
best voice, and Whitney, always a popular
favorite hero, betrayed the impairment, of
time. The other soloists were in excellent
voice. The audience was not in a critical
mood, and accorded Thomas a notable ova

Columbus, May 20.-The Republican
State Central Committee to-night, with all

bold the next State convention at Cleveland
July 1G. There was considerable discussion
had on the importance of holding an earlier
convention, and a late date in June would
have been selected had it not been for
counter attractions which will tax the ca
pacity of Cleveland on tbe earlier dates.
The committeemen were unanimous in the
opinion there is a demand for a long cam
paign, and that the prospects of the Repub
licans were good in case they had time to
place the situation before the people. The
committee connts strongly upon tbe record
made by the Democratic" Legislature, tho
disappointments with which the liquor ele
ment has met, and tne further claim that
the more the tariff question is discussed
from the McKinley standpoint the more
votes will be cast for the Republican ticket,

Conterenco of Charities and Correction this
morning; the care and detention ot tbe in
sane was discussed by Dr. Richard Gun.
dery, of Spring Grove Asylum, and Dr.
Stephen Smith, the Hew York surgeon and
author. Dr. Gundery contended that, while
tho family hearth should not be ruthlessly
luvaded, even though it had a skeleton, yet
the insane were the wards of tbe
State, and even wben tho State
delegated its authority to towns
or cities, it should still exerclsoa general
supervision over, the insane. In several
States where this Insanity of the individual
is determined by trial before judge or Jury
delays occur, the patient has to be cared for
pending the decision, and the only available
place usually turns out to be the county or
city jail where tbe patient consorts with,
and is the sport ot the most depraved of the
community, his only crime being that he is
a sick man ana a pauper wnom no one
owns."
Cardinal Gibbons has been invited to be
present and requested to deliver an address

seriously with the works in which Undele

that he will accept the invitation and com
ply with the request.

sumciently advanced to admit of taking a
proper stand on these important questions.
The committee, however, concluded they
would be able at even an early day to prom
ise in the platform that they would keep
abreast of enlightened public sentiment on
all the questions pending in Congress, and
fare as well in the end.
The sensational event of the evening was
the selection of a temporary Chairman of
'the convention. C. E. M. Jennings, ol
Athens, the enemy of General Grosvenor
and the friend of ex-Governor Forakcr, pre
sented the latter's name for the position,
which came in the nature of a surprise to
many members of the committee, as they
had not thought of his name being brought
out and had promised to support Robert
Kevin, of Dayton. The latter's name was
presented by A. VY. iLnmler, ol Dayton,
the secretary of the committee.
A PLEA POB HAEMONY.
He eulogized bis candidate and set forth
in strong terms why he thought it would
not be expedient under the circumstances
to select Forakcr for the position. They
were after harmony and did not want to
recognize any of the factions of the last
campaign and if they wanted to trork in the
interest of the party he thought now was
the time to begjn in' the selection of Kevin,
'who was free from any alliances' with fac
tions which would make him objectionable
in the eyes of the Republicans of the State.
Nearly every member of tbe committee
made a speech on the policy of selecting
Foraker, many of them professing the
closest personal friendship for him, but in
sisting they would not only be doing him,
but th narty. a harm by "votincr to make
him Chairman of the convention.
It was argued by W. S. Cappeller, ex
Chairman of the State Executive Commit
tee, Howard Ferris, of Cincinnati, and other
intimate friends of Foraker, tbat he had
gone down in defeat; that be had taken his
defeat manfully; that he had pronounced
himself enthusiastic over the prospects and
was reaay to enter tne neid with bis old
time vigor, and they thought it no more
than right he should be chosen. '
A QUESTION OP POLICY.
It was insisted it would be a recognition
of the large element which had been sup
porters of Foraker in the last campaign, and
it was an element which they could not
afford to ignore to please the wagon load of
Republicans who had sulked. The in
formation was furnished that a telegram had
been received from Foraker in reply to an
inquiry that he would accept the position if
chosen. ;
In the course of the SDeeohes. in which
there was a great deal of smothered feeling,
it was developed that Foraker had a ma-
jiimy oi toe niemoers, tnougn ) had re
sulted from the fact that bis name was
brought before the committee at all. Many
of the members anuounced this was the only
reason why they thought it obligatory upon
them to vote for hit selection. It was urged it
would not do to have the report go to the
country that Foraker had been rejected, as
it would give the party opposition an op
portunity to use it against him, and the
enemies in his own party a chance to fur
ther humiliate him.

and then he did it with the statement that
he had found certain members who had
promised him their votes were placed in an
embarrassing position, and he wonld for
their sakes alone withdraw the name of his
candidate. Foraker was then chosen bv a
unanimous vote of those present, though
quite a number had retired to an outer
chamber to discuss the lack of partvnnlinv
and expediency in making the selection. "
Mr. Ferris, the member fiom Cincinnati,
assured the committee that thev would be
at the convention 3,000 strong, with Foraker
at the head of their delegation, and that he
would again unite the forces from that sec
tionof the State. The committee expected
to discuss and make some suggestions on

New Yoek, May 20. The Senate Com
mittee on cities to-day ended its inquiry
into Major Grant's affairs. Dr. Beekman,
whom McCann said bad been offered a large
pecuniary reward to go to Europe with Mrs.
Croker, said tbat no direct oiler of money
was made to him.
In the investigation of the Health Depart
ment, milk dealers swore tbat the health
inspectors of milk had demanded money in
the case of one dealer $300, every three
months, for immunity from inspection.
When the demands for bribe money was re
fused by dealers they were arrested, their
milk destroyed, and themselves continually
harassed by tbe "strikers."
Ex-Senator Wallace has written n letter
to show that there is no reason for any
farmerCjo oppose him as a candidate for
Governor. He thinks bis record in this line
should be perfectly satisfactory. Neverthe
less, the rural counties keep on instructing
the delegates for Pattison.
SrrCTAt- TKLXGKAM TO TOE DISPATCIt.t
Reading, May 20. James R. Tyson, of
this city, a member of tho County Agricul
tural Society, a few days ago asked William
A. Wallace this, by letter: "Upon what
grounds can tbe farmers of Berks or any
other counties' of Pennsylvania claim tbat
your nomination and election as Governor
of this State would conflict with the inter
ests or the farmers? Is there any known
reason for this assertion?"
In his reply, received to-day, Mr. Wallace
fays: "In my record as a Senator, both at
Harrisburg and at Washington, neither
speech nor vote of mine can be found upon
which to base such an opinion. It was and
is mv constant effort as a public man to
be just to every important interest in the
State, and I never by vote or speech have
discriminated against the agricultural in
terest, for a long lease of production and
prosperity in that held are vital to pros
perity In every other. I have repeatedly
written and spoken against the system of
double taxation tnat now oppresses it in
myt professional life I have never been what
is commonly known as a corporation attor
ney. Since retiring from legal prac
tice I have aided in building rail
roads to develop tbe mineral resources
of the section of the State in which I live,
and until Semptember, 1889, 1 acted for
four years, without salary, as tbe President
Of one of those railroads. In tbe history ot
my public and professional life, which is
open to all, I believe it will be found that I
have tried to do my duty toward all of the
people. X am very sure that such has been
my aim, and such it will continue to be
whether in official life or in that of private
citizen."

YonK, May 20, There was a very enthu

VERY LIVELY REPUBLICAN CONTEST IN
HUNTINQOON.
Rhone Ilns limed nn Address Calling; for
Action to Dofent Drlamnter The Parti
sans of llnstlnffi Are Hard at Woilt la
tbe County.
rirSCIAL TXLEOnAM TO TUB PtSPATCn.1
ITuntinodon, May 20. About half a
score of leading Republicans of this county
are seeking election as delegates to tbo Stato
Couvcntlon as actively and ardently as if
they were candidates for some high public
office. Thus far all of tho aspirants are ad
herents of one or the other of the two leading
candidates for Governor, five of tbem sup
porting Adjntant General Hastings, and
about the same number favoring Senator
Delamater. There are two delegates to be
elected and the present indications are that
they will be taken from among the follow
ing persons; Charles Conner, of Roberts
dale; Dr. F. K. Fickel, of Warrior's Mark;
H. 1). Dunn, Frank W. Stewart and George
B. Orlady, of Hnntingdon, all of whom
are Hastings men, and J. W. Mattern, of
Warrior's Mark, and J. B. Rex and W. H.
Woods, of Huntingdon, who are Delamater
men.'
General Hastings' supporters have been
from the first, and are still, the most vocif
erous and sanguine. They claim every
thing, and will not admit that there is any
sentiment in the county for any other candi
date than their favorite. They say that the
preference of the people lor tbe Adjutant
General is so marked and unmistakable
that there should be no opposition to posi
tive instructions to the delegates to support
him, and that if the vote of the county in
tbe State Convention should be given
against him it would be a bold and unpar
donable misrepresentation of the popular
Will.
The Delamater men are less demonstra
tive, and are making no noisy claims or
agitation in regard to the instruction of
delegates. They will be satisfied if they
can elect two of their men without instruc
tions. In fact, they will probably endeavor
to prevent any test of strength in the con
vention between Hastings and Delamater,
and in this they may succeed, as
there are throughout the county many
friends of Congressman Atkinson, General
Osborne and Major Montooth, who are also
opposed to instructions and who may join
their forces with those of Delamater to pre
vent sucn action. They will not, however,
assist in the election of Delamater's dele
gates, but may have candidates of their own
in the field, and may receive the help of the
Delamater men to prevent the success of
Hastings.
Delamater's' greatest danger lies in the
united opposition to his nomination of the
Grangers and the Farmers' Alliance, if not
of farmers who belong to neither organiza
tion. The country districts have been
flooded with circulars calling attention to
his record in the State Senate upon ques
tions affecting tbe interests of the agricul
tural community, and mnch to his disad
vantage. Hon. Leonard Rhone, Master of
the State Grange or Pennsylvania,
has issued an address for private
distribution, a copy of which has been
handed to The Dispatch correspondent
by a granger to whom it had been sent, in
which be spoke of the efforts of tbe organiza
tion to procure the passage of certain laws
for the amelioration; of the condition of
farmers, among which were the bills for the
equalization of taxation and to prohibit tbe
importation into the btate oi dressed meats.
These efforts, he says, were thwarted by cor
porations, monopolists and unlriendly legis
lators, among whom Delamater is alleged
to have been conspicuous.
The primary elections will be held May
31, and the- two weeks that will intervene
will be as exciting in this county as any
that ever preceded the action of the party
with relerence to a candidate for Governor.
The convention will meet June 3.

tVBOJt A STAKF COMtmoSDBXT.
Washington, May 20. At both ends
of the Capitol to-day "original packages"
were tbe vexed subject of discussion. Mr.
Boutelle was able to get together most of
the members of the Committee on Com
merce of the House for the 5rst time since
the tariff bill came np for consideration.
and during a brief session Mr. Sweeney, of
Iowa, argued in favor of the bill introduced
by Mr.Boutelle the other day.and which aims
at the purpose of the Senate bill, to permit
the States to reguiate the traffic in inter-State
intoxicants in accord with their various
laws.
Mr. Sweeney dwelt principally upon tho
imperative necessity of allowing the people
of a State which had pronounced against tho
traffic in intoxicating liquors to prevent its
laws being made imperative by a construc
tion of the Constitution, when it was impos
sible that that fundamental instrument
could ever have been intended to apply to a
case like the one under discussion.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
He argued that if there ever was any
doubt in regard to the power of Congress;
under the Constitution, there could be none
now, as the Supreme Court had plainly said
that, with proper legislation by Congress, the
States could regulate the inter-State liqnor
tramo according to their own laws. The
committee listened with great interest, and
it might almost be said to be evident from
the reception of Mr. Sweeney's speech that
they were in sympathy with it to a fairly
unanimous degree.
In the Senate the major part of tha day
was devote'd to the discussion of the bill
favorably reported by Mr. Wilson, of
Iowa, a few days ago, the teports upon
which were given very completely in these
telegrams. Many of the noted local temper
ance advocates graced the galleries with
their presence. Senators listened with
more than usual interest.
CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION.
Notwithstanding the fact of the utterance
of the Supreme Court, which is construed
by those favorable to the proposed legisla
tion to set at rest the constitutional ques
tion, and notwithstanding the opinions of
such analysists of the law as Edmunds.
Hoar, Ingalls and others, many of the Sen
ators are in doubt on the subject, and it is
evident the bill will not pass without the
closest diagnosis of the Constitution and tha
ruling of the court.
Mr. Test flouts the idea that a dictum of
the court can set aside the plain meaning of
the Constitution, and does not believe the
court intended to do so. There seems to be
little doubt, however, in the minds of Sena
tors that the bill will pass, and that speed
ily. There is too large an element in too
many of the States which demands the
enactment of some legislation permitting
the States to have home rule on this ques
tion to make it safe for Congressmen to go
away from Washington with the question
unsettled.

Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, who had introduced
the bill in the first instance, and had after
ward reported it back, to-day addressed the
Senate in explanation and advocacy of it,
stating tbat it was made necessary by the
recent decision of the Supreme Court on that
subject. It was a response to the sugges
tion contained in that decision that Con
gress could permit the exercise of the re
straining power of a State, and it was for
the purpose of giving that permission that
the bill had been introduced and reported.
The effect of it would be to leave eaoh
State in the Union to determine lor itself
what its policy should be in regard to the
traffic in intoxicating liquors. Under that
decision ot the Supreme Court the State of
Iowa could not prevent the citizens of other
States, or the subjects of Great Britain,
France or Germany, from sending intoxi
cating liquors into Iowa and having them
sold there in the original packages by
agents.
speedy action needed.
At tbe present time original package
saloons were being organized in his State."
The package might be a pint or a half pint
of whisky or a keg or bottle of beer. It was
to put a stop to such practice, and to recog
nize in every State the power to regulate its
own internal police that the bill was re
ported. Mr. Vest said that as a member of the
Judiciary Committee he had not been able to
agree with the majority in reporting the bill,
because it wonld sweep away the exclusive
jurisdiction ot the United States oyer inter
State commerce. What had the Suprema
Court decided? It decided emphatically,
by a majority of its justices, that alcoholic
stimulants were an article of inter-State
commerce, and that the power to regulate
commerce among tbe States and with foreign
nations was an exclusive power vested in
Congress by the Constitution.
The intimation that Congress might dele
gate to a State that power was contained in
a mere obiter dictum of that decision. He
(Mr. Vest) contended that it could not be
done. The Supreme Court bad decided that
the power of Congress over inter-State com
merce was an exclusive power and could not
be delegated.
