TEE AFPEGPEIiTIONS SECURED BY THE STATE
Propositions for a compromise on the
sugar and binding twine features of the
tariff bill hare been made. There is now
only a slight difference between the Senate
and House. This dispute settled, an ad
journment will follow in short order. The
appropriations passed in which Pennsyl
Tania is interested amount to 51,663,715.
This will be increased ?110,000 when the
clause providing for the Pittsburg postoffice
gets through.
ITTOM A STAIT COBBESrOXDENT.J
Washington-, September 25. The re
port of the tariff conference was not made
to-day, and it is hardly likely that it will be
presented before the end of the week. The
dia'-reDces on sugar ana binding twine are
still unsettled, and it is this that is prolong
ing the session of the committee. The Re
publican conferees were in session this
morning, and when, at 11 o'clock, the Dem
ocratic members were sent for it was be
lieved that a final agreement had been
reached, and there was much excitement in
the neighborhood of the committee room.
However, the Democratic members were
merely sent for to pass upon the results of
the labors of their Republican colleagues on
all parts of the bill but those relating to
sugar and twine.
Thrr Slur Amec to Disagree.
This was done so that if necessary a report
could be made disagreeing on the two points
in dispute and agreeing on all other para
graphs. The Democrats demanded separate
votes on several of the more important sched
ules, such as those relating to metals, glass,
and the compensatory dnties on wool, but
this action was of course merely formal, the
Republicans having a majority of two on
each question.
Mr. Carlisle raised a point which is going
to still further prevent an immediate settle
ment ot the Republican differences. He
found that in the course of the efforts to
come to an agreement among themselves the
Republicans bad made changes in the bounty
clause of the sugar schedule.
A Change Made in Conference.
Both the Senate and the House had agreed
to the provision granting 2 cents a pound
bounty on sugar grown in the United States
ot a polarization of 75 degrees. The conferees
had, however, inserted a clause instead of
this, givinc a bounty of 13 cents a pound
on sugars polarizing between 70 and 80 de
grees, and 2 cents a pound for sugars be
tween 80 and 90 degrees.
Carlisle made the point that this was an
entirely new proposition, which had not
been presented to either House, and that
therefore it could not be inserted by the
Conference Committee. He cited in
stances where other conference committees
haa inserted new legislation in a similar
manner and -niere, when the point had been
made against it, it was invariably stricken
out. The point was declared to be well
taken by Senator Aldrich, who is acting as
chairman of the committee, and it is probable
that the proposed agreement, of which this
was to be the basis, will have to be entirely
revised.
Trying to Reach n Compromise.
It was said to-day that the Senate con
ferees would be willing to let in sugar free
up to Uo. 1G Dutch standard with a duty of
six-tenths of a cent above No. 16, it the
House would make binding twine free. The
extent of the compromise agreeable to the
House is free sugar np to No. 1G, and four
tenths of a cent above that standard, with a
quarter of a cent duty on twine.
The difference between four-tenths and
six-tenths of a cent per ponnd on sugars
above No. 16 means a difference in revenues
to the Sugar Trust of about $4,000,000, and
that energetic corporation is doing every
thing in its power to have the larger rate
adopted.
The iron and steel men have given np all
hope of securing a change of rates on steel
billets, which remain as previously quoted
in these dispatches. The House rates on
pottery and glass have to a large extent
been adopted 60 per cent on decorated
ware, 65 per cent on plain ware and rates on
window glass running from 1 cents per
pound to 2 cents. -je.- pound.
411 Are Engc-r to Adjourn.
Unless something entirely unforeseen
should arise to delay it, Congress will ad
journ before the end of the month. At least,
such is the general expectation. As soon as
the tariff bill is disposed of it will be im
possible to keep a quorum of Republicans
here, and as no business can be accomplished
without the presence of snch a quorum, an
adjournment will be imperative.
This session has not been a very pro.
ductive one in legislation of particular
interest to Pennsylvania. Outside of items
included in the general appropriation bills
there has been scarcely anything done
affecting the Keystone State. Of course an
exception is made in the case of the tariff
bill.
Several public building bills have become
1 ws, and the bill to authorize the sale of
the Government property on Penn avenue,
in Pittsburg, was also signed by the Presi
dent The bill to sell the Marine Hospital
property, on Ellsworth avenue, was not
pushed to its passage because it was dis
covered that the existing law made it in
cumbent on the Treasury Department to sell
that property as soon as it ceased to be used
for hospital purposes. The bill to make the
Arsenal Park a public pleasure ground is
still in committee. It has never been re
ported to the House, for the reason that the
War Department opposed the proposition.
No Show Tor Border Bald Claims.
The border raid claims bill will not get
through at this session. These few items in
elude about everything of any general in
terest to Pennsylvania that has re
ceived the attention of Congress. The
actual appropriations that have been
made for the State, however, amount
to $1,663,715, and are in detail as follows:
In the sundry civil appropriation bill there
were included the following items: For
purchase of site and commencement of build
ing a postoffice at Allegheny, 865,000; at
Beaver Falls, $20,000; at York,' 525,000, and
at Chester, 550,000; for the completion of the
Court House and postoffice at Pittsburg,
$240,000: for continuation of postoffice build
ing at Scranton, 510,000; to continue to date
corrections ot former surveys ot tbe Vete
ware river for the nse on a new large scale
chart of the same in the vicinity ot Phila
delphia and up the Delaware river to Tren
ton, 51,000; for new machiuery. etc., Frank-
lord Arsenal, Philadelphia, ?6,000.
For Onr Rivers and Harbors.
In the river ond harbor bill the following
appropriations are made: To improve Erie
harbor, 540,000; to improve Philadelphia
harbor, 5200.000; to improve ice harbor at
Marcns Hook, 55,000; continuing improve
ment of Allegheny river, 520.000; Schuyl
kill river, 545,000; Delaware river, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, 5200,000; contin
uing construction of Herr's Island dam in
Allegheny river, $35,000; to purchase lock
and dam No. 6 of the Monongahela Navi
gation Company. 5162,000; and to construct
movable dam at or below the mouth of
Beaver river, 5250,000.
The navai appropriation for this year
contains the sum of 5181,600 for various
purposes at the League Island Navy Yard,
including the pay of clerks, and 573,115 for
the Naval Home at Philadelphia.
The deficiency bill, which has not yet be
come a law, contains an appropriation of
5110,000 for heating apparatus, elevators
and approaches to the Pittsburg publio
building. This will undoubtedly be in
cluded in the bill when it passes, for there
is no objection to it In either the House or
Senate. That will bring the total of appro
priations for the State of Pennsylvania
made by this Congress up to the sum of
(1,773,710. A.IGHTNKR.

BT ASSOCIATED FSKS8.1
"Washington1, September 25. The Re
publican conferees on the tariff bill have
definitely decided to report the bill back to
the House. The conference reports an
agreement on every item in dispute between
the two houses, and it will not, as has been
stated, be only a partial report.
It will be presented to, the House of Rep
resentatives very soon after that body meets
to-morrow morning, and there is confident
expectation entertained by the conferees that
the report will be considered and disposed
of before the House adjourns for
the day, althongh there is a
possibility that a vote on the adoption of
the conference report may be delayed until
the following day through the desire of
members to make explanations ot
their views on matters with re
gard to which it has been nece
essary to make concessions. All the Re
publican members of the Ways and Means
Committee got together this evening, and
the decision to make a report and move its
speedy adoption was determined upon after
a full consultation.
There will be a meeting of the fall com
mittee to-morrow morning before the House
meets to form and pass upon the report be
fore its presentation to the House. The only
question yet left open to be decided in
the morning is the date upon which the bill
shall go into effect The period between the
approval of the bill and its enforcement will
be brief and it is thought will certainly not
exceed two weeks.

SPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
"Washington, September 25. ProC
John M. Langston, the elegant colored gen
tleman who has secured a seat in the House
of Representatives by virtue of Tom Reed's
skill in quorum counting, has started in
early to predict a great fnture for
the colored race, probably having himself
in mind as the coming leader, three thou
sand enthusiastic citizens of the district,
many of whom were white, marched to the
suburban residence of the new Congressman,
accompanied by a brass band and red
lights. The recipient of the ovation, who
has a most eloquent and oily tongue,
made a flowery speech in response
to the congratulations showered upon him,
and crew most-enthusiastic on the subject
of his forcible entry into the House as an
indication of what the colored citizen is
coming to. The Presidency is in the
range of Langston's rolling eyes, and he
aroused bis audience to a high pitch of ex
citement by the following forecast:
Wliat is the significance of the Republican
victory in the House of Representatives? We
will go forth and conquer in the name of the
whitest aad blackest man in thecountrr. We
shall aid in tne interpretation of the Constitu
tion and in its application. We shall consider
the question: Is a pure ballot in a guarded and
protected ballot box the shield that preserves
onr national integrity? Men used to give us no
rights. We will help to give the country rights
now. We are in the great Congress of tho
nation. We will advance to tho Senate, and
when necessary, when tho negro has grown as
great and learned and magnificent as he is now
loyal and trne, he shall go on to the President's
chair. Cheers.

CHARGES AGAINST THE POSTMASTER OF
REED'S HOUSE.
He ! Accused ot Letting Mail Contracts for
a Fart ot the Contracts A Resolution of
Invettlgallon Adopted After a Running
Debate.
Washington, September 25. Repre
sentative Enloe to-day introdnced a resolu
tion which recites that it is alleged that the
postmaster of the House, J. L. Wheat,
whose duty it is to let contracts for the
carrying of the mails, let a contract to one
Samuel Culbertson for 55,000 a year on the
condition that Culbertson should pay to him
(Wheat) 51E0 a month out of the money re
ceived from the Government for his services,
and that Wheat did receive that sum for
five months, and directing the Committee
on Accounts to investigate these charges
and snch other matter as pertain to Wheat's
administration of the postoffice of the House
of Representatives.
Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, suggested that
the resolution be made broad enough to in
clude an investigation of the action of the
last Postmaster in regard to the same mat
ter. Mr. Enloe remarked that if any gen
tleman had evidence that there was any
thing wrong in the action of the late Post
master, he would have no objection. Mr.
Hopkins remarked that he understood that
this contract, which the gentleman claimed
was unlawful, had comedown from the Post
master of the last Congress.
Mr. Caswell, of Wisconsin, said that his
information was that this practice on the
part of the Postmaster had obtained during
several Congresses. The postmaster had
become satisfied that this money was not a
proper and legitimate perquisite. He had
therefore covered every dollar into the
Treasury. Mr. Hopkins offered an amend
ment extending the investigation into the
practices of the postmaster in the Forty
ninth and Fiftieth Congresses. Mr. Heard,
of Missouri, desired to still further amend
by extending the investigation to all pre
vious Congresses, but a demand for the pre
vious question made by Mr. Hookins pre
cluded the reception of this amendment
Mr TTnnb of Tennessee, protested that
'time should be given for amendment. If a
Republican had been stealing, let nitq De
eXDOsed and punished. Let no one seek to
shield him. Mr. Hopkins said that there
was no attempt to shield anyone, but the
postmasters of the last and of the present
House were so interlaced that one could not
be investigated without the other.
The previous-qnestion was ordered Yeas,
108; nays. 86. Mr. Hopkins' amendment
was adopted and the resolution as amended
was agreed to.
A MILLION FOR NICKEL ORE,

Navv to purchase nickel ore, or nickel
matte, for the manufacture of nickel steel

Although every reasonable eflort was made

nevertheless be in the field.
rEPECIAL TZLEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
DuBois, September 25. Congressman
Kerr was defeated for renomination at
Ridgway to-day. The reverse was a stun
ning blow and the Democrats of this county
see in it a premeditated plan on the part of
somebody to get even. The conferees met
first Wednesday evening, adjourning until
9 o'clock this morning, adjonrning again
until 11 o'clock, at which time six ballots
were taken without result.
The next session was held at 1 o'clock,
and after one ballot at that session the con
ferees adjourned again until 3 o'clock.
When they reassembled matters seemed to
have been pretty well fixed, and George F.
Krebbs, of Clarion connty, received the
votes of the Clarion, Elk and Forest connty
conferees, giving him nine of the 15. The
Center conferees voted for Spangler and
Clearfield for Kerr.
QUITE A SURPRISE.
Mr. Kerr is a son-in-law of ex-Senator
Wallace and naturally supported him for
the Democratic nomination for Governor.
After the Scranton convention, however, he
was selected by Pattison and his friends to
manage the State campaign. It would seem
from this that be was acceptable to both
factions of the Democracy, and scarcely a
donbt was entertained as to his eventual
renomination. The result of to-day's bal
loting, therefore, is indeed a surprise.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says: The
delegates to the Democratic Convention of
the Third Congressional district assembled
at Caledonian Hall, Pine street, and after a
session of about half an honr nominated
William A. McAleer without a dissenting
vote. The district is composed of the Third,
Fourth, Fifth. Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth,
Sixteenth and Seventh wards, and the dele
gates irom all were present, with the ex
ception of those from the Sixth ward. The
absentees numbered three all told, while
those who put in an appearance, 31 in all,
made up the convention.

to do the same this year. Mr. Pattison
was presented by President Reeder, and,
after prolonged applause, he made a vigor

said:

FindEay, September 25. When the Re

sions were set at rest this afternoon by the
Governor accepting the nomination as
tendered by the committee appointed for
that purpose, and tbe campaign is now on.
Foster does not go into the fight with
much hope, but more through a sense of
duty. It is thought that Harrison, with whom
he spent several hours in consultation at
Cresson, on Tuesday, promised him the help
of the administration if he would be a can
didate, and that the President's wishes bad
much to do with his acceptance. The Dem
ocrats are preparing to give the ex-Governor
the fight of his life.

HE WILt SPEAK AT THE BRADFORD
OPERA HOUSE TO-NIGHT. .
Tbe Charges Which Delamater Denied and
for Which tho Evidence Is Now to be
Famished A Big Audience Confidently
Expected.
Bkadfobd, September 25. It is ex
pected that ex-Senator Emery's address,
which is to be delivered in the Opera House
in this city to-morrow evening, will have
an important influence upon the candidacy
of Mr. Delamater for the Governorship of
this State. On Friday, April 4, 1890, at a
public meeting in Bradford, ex-Senator
Lewis Emery, Jr., made charges against
Senator George W. Delamater as follows:
I charge that he purchased bis election to the
Senate of this State in 1886; that he directly
bribed citizens of Crawford county to vote for
him at tbe general election, and that, when a
memorial had been contemplated to prevent
him from taking the oath of office, he paid
large sums of money for the suppression of the
said memorial.
I charge that he did take tbe oath of office,
thereby committing a crime against the good
name and statutes of tbe Commonwealth,
I charge, also, that during his services in the
Senate he attempted to alter a pubile record by
framing a conference renort on a bill before It
bad been properly considered, contrary to rnles
and practice, and signing or having had signed
the names of the committee, and in so doing
offended tbe dignity of the Legislature and the
law of the Commonwealth.
1 make these charges withont fear ot contra
diction, and conrt an action at law whereby I
may prove before the people, oath bound.
To these charges no answer whatever was
made by Mr. Delamater until .August 14.
Upon 'that evening Mr. Delamater was in
Chambersburg, present at a public meeting.
Some one in the audience called upon him
to answer to the Emery charges. Thus chal
lenged, Mr. Delamater said:
I take this occasion to enter my most positive,
emphatic and unequivocal denial of each and
every charge preferred by Senator Emery.
I enter this denial to all charges, by
whosoever preferred, wnich assail my honor as
a man and my integrity as a citizen.
When, soon after this denial was made,
Senator Emery's attention was directed to
it, he said that, at a proper time and place,
hewould endeavorto make hischarges good.
Upon September 19 he telegraphed from
this city to the editor of The Dispatch as
follows: "I will reply to Delamater's Cham
bersburg denial of the charges I made
against him April 4, in the Opera Honse,
this city, Friday evening, September 26."
It goes without saying that Senator Emery
will address a crowded'house.

Controller,- General J: W. Barnwell? At
"torney General, J. H. Earle; Adjutant Gen
eral, M. L. Bo'nham; Superintendent of

All the nominees are straightout Demo
crats who opposed the Tillman movement
and most of them opposed it on the stnmp.
The Republicans assert that the ticket can
be elected even withont the aid of white
votes. There are 157,000 colored voters in
the State aeainst about 80,000 whites. Of
the colorrd voters they say over 110,000 are
registered and qualified to vote for State
officers, and they can poll 100,000 of these
for this straightoat Democratic ticket. Be
sides this they assert that 20,000 Democratic
voters will join them in voting for this
as against the Tillman ticket

police made an unprovoked attack upon the
crowd, in which many heads were broken.
Among those assaulted were members of
Parliament John Morley narrowly es
caped. rnT EUSLAP'S CABLE COMPAXT.
Tifpebaet, September 25. Tb-day's
proceedings in connection with the prosecu
tion of Messrs. John Dillon and William
O'Brien commenced with an exciting inci
dent Mr. O'Brien arrived at Tipperary
shortly before noon, in company with Mr.
Thomas J. Condon, M. P., for this town,
who was arrested at Limerick Junction on
his way hither. In the same train were the
Hon. John Morley, and the following mem
bers of Parliament: Messrs. John Dillon,
Alfred Illingsworth, Isaac Holden. Tim
othy Healy and Timothy Harrington, who
were accompanied by other friends.
On their way from the station Mr. O'Con
nor, Mr. Illingsworth and others, who were
in advance of the general party, baited lor
a moment in order to await the approach of
Mr. Morley. Colonel Caddell, who was in
charge of the police, immediately gave the
order to move on. Mr. O'Connor protested
against this treatment, and Mr. Morley com
ing un at the moment, Mr. O'Connor called
for three cheers for him.
CLUBBED Br CONSTABLES.
Upon this the police assailed the group.
Mr. Dalton and other gentlemen who were
talking to Mr. Morley were roughly jostled,
and the constable even raised his hand to
strike them. Mr. Morley and Mr. O'Con
nor, however, interposed, and Colonel Cad
dell ordered the men to desist
Another exciting scene occurred ontside
tbe Conrt Honse. The police were ordered
ont in order to prevent the admittance of
people who were not there on business. The
crowd was very great, and in consequence of
the pressure from the ontside the members
of the force were ordered to charge with
their batons drawn.
Mr. Sydney Halifax, of Manchester, who
happened to be in the crowd, was knocked
down and otherwise maltreated. Mr. Har
rington came tnto the court room with blood
flowing freely from the wounds he had re
ceived. The collar of his coat was saturated
with blood, and his appearance created a
great sensation. He was immediately given
a seat, but he swooned and was carried into
the grand jury room, where he was laid on
the floor.
FOECED TO TIELD.
- Mr. Morley thenappealed U'CuIunel Cad
dell to allow the people to enter tbe court
and take their chance of obtaining seats.
The Colonel refused at first,' bnt ultimately
the body of the court was thrown open to
the general public.
Several attempts were made to procure the
names of the members of the police force
who had assaulted the people, but these
proved fruitless, as the officers declined to
give them. When the police charged with
their batons, a large number of people were
struck and several of them were so badly
injnred that the blood was streaming over
their faces and clothes. Tbe wounded were
carried away and an army surgeon, who
was the first to arrive, attended them.
Mr. John Morley, addressing Mr.
O'Brien, said in reference to the matter:
"They have behaved most damnably."
Various protests were made on the subject
and everybody present was evidently labor
ing under the most intense excitement Mr.
Dillon, in speaking of the subject, called
the police cowards several times, and Mr.
John O'Connor was also lond in denouncing
their conduct
FEOTESTS OF NO AVAIL.
Before the trial opened Mr. Dillon ob
jected to Mr. Shannon as prosecuting attor
ney, asserting that he had personally en
countered him at Cashel, when he (Mr. Dil
lon) had been grossly insnlted. Mr. Shan
non declared that he would perform his duty
in an unbiased manner. Mr. O'Brien said
that the last time he saw Mr. Shannon he
was at tbe head of the police clnbbing the
people. Shannon had already tried him
three times, and his being put in charge of
the prosecution of the present case was in
decent and an insult. The magistrate an
swered O'Brien's objection in the same way
that he had disposed of Dillon's, and the
trial was then begun.
Mr. Ronan, counsel for the Crown, asked
permission of the Conrt to make some alter
ations in the charges against the prisoners.
The latter protested vigorously against snch
permission, urging that it would be illegal
for the Conrt to grant it. The Conrt paid no
heed to the protests, but permitted the coun
sel for the Crown to make the desired
changes.
Mr. Ronan then proceeded to open the
case lor the prosecution. He reviewed the
circumstances which had led to the arrestof
the Nationalists. These, he said, went back
to tbe time when the plan of campaign was
la force on the Smith Barry estate at Tip
perary. i
A CH ABOE OF CONSPIRACY.
That happened in May, 1889, and be pro
posed to present evidence to prove con
spiracy on the part of the defendants from
that time down to when tbe arrests were
made. Dnring all that period he proposed
to prove that the defendants were conspiring
to prevent the payment of rents to Mr.
Smith Barry, and were inciting the
tenants 'of that gentleman not to pay.
The defendants piotested against the intro
duction of evidence touching matters that
were anterior to the dates specified in the
warrants npon which they were arrested.
After considering these protests, the Conrt
decided that tbe prosecution might produce
testimony of a general character to prove
the existence of conspiracy prior to the
dates given in the warrants, but that no evi
dence could be permitted concerning acts of
the defendants which were done anterior to
those the dates of which were mentioned in
the warrants.
After a long speech from John Dillon, in
which he eloquently defended, his course,
the court adjourned. It is belived that the
case will last several days.

WILD "WITH GRIEF.
A Demented Mother Disinters Her Child's
Body From the Grnve.
BT DONLAP'S CABLE COMPANT.l
Vienna, September 25. A horrible deed
of a grief-demented mother was made pub
lic to-day. Helene Mueller, the wife of a
master painter in Moedling, near this city,
lost her only child, a boy 2 years old, by
diphtheria in February last, after an illness
of only one day. The suddenness of the
death appeared to paralyze the mother's
brain, and make it entirely impossible for
her to realize that the child was dead. She
has therefore devoted almost every daily
hour to sitting on the baby's grave, holding
imaginary conversations with the dead one.
One morning a week ago the sexton dis
covered that the grave had been opened, tbe
coffin lid taken off and the body stolen. He
at once went to the honse of the mother, and,
after considerable trouble, found that the
woman had dug the body up a few nights
before, taken it to her home, wrapped it in a
shawl aad placed it in her trunk. During
the day she had taken it out and caressed it,
and at night, after her husband slept, she
had taken the baby to bed with her, and en
deavored to ictuse warmth into it

The Female Prisoners No Longer to be

St. Petepbtjkg, September 25. A re
.form is about to be inaugurated in ,the
treatment of female prisoners. Tbe Chief
of the Department of Prisons proposes to
substitute for the corporal punishment
heretofore visited upon women a care
fully graded list of banishments and
solitary confinements, both to take place on
the Island of Shaghalien, and to be regu
lated in its severity by the nature of the
crime for which the woman is held, and the
solitary confinement to he measured by the
number of lashes which her violation of the
rules wonld now entitle her.
If, nnder the present law she would re
ceive one lash on the bared back with the
knout, the new rnles would give her instead
ten days' solitary confinement, and two days
instead of every blow with an ordinary
wbip.

popular leaders have been arrested
and shot in their residences. Tbe residences
of others are besieged, and a lively fusilade
proceeds between besiegers and besieged.

palace and is deaf to petitions from the in
habitants. Many women and children who
fled thither for protection have been bayo
neted by the palace guards. Several dyna
mite bombs h3ve been thrown into the pal
ace by a band of citizen soldiers.
The Governor justifies the action of the
troops on tne ground that a revolution has
been declared. It is estimated that 300
persons " were killed and wounded in two
days' fighting. Meetings or Goanese have
been held in Bombay to denounce the Gov
