intOH A STAFF COttRESPOXDEXT.3
Washington, September 30. The con
ference report on the tariff bill was to-night
adopted by the Senate by a vote of 33 to 27,
three Republicans, Messrs. Paddock, of
Nebraska; Pettigre w, of Dakota, and Plumb,
of Kansas, voting with the Democrats.
There now only remains the addition of the
signatures of the Speaker of the House, the
Vice President ana the President before the
bill will become a law.
The bill has been enrolled, and after the
signatures of the presiding officers of the
two Houses have been attached, it will be
t once sent to the President He will not
Leep it waiting many minutes, snd as soon
as he announces his approval of the measure
Congress will adjourn sine die.
Cnrliils Wjxm Eloquent.
I The debate on the tariff bill to-day in the
(Senate was of a very interesting nature.
jt was opened by Senator Carlisle, who, if
lie gained his reputation -originally by a
tariff speech in the House, certainly added
new luster by his effort to-day. He was in
good voice, and his colleagues manifested
their pleasure at the clear and eloquent
manner in which he was presenting their
side of the great controversy by gathering
around him and nodding satisfied approval
at his many good points.
It was undoubtedly the best tariff speech
heard from that side of the Senate Chamber
in many a long day. Mr. Carlisle spoke
for nearly three hours,and at the conclnsion
of his address he was warmly congratulated
by his party colleagues.
Challenged by Aldrich.
The portion of his speech which attracted
most attention on both sides of the Chamber
was that in which he attacked, not the con
stitutionality of the sugar bounties, but the
validity of the proposition. He also paid
attention to the reciprocity clauses of the
bill, and declared that "no Senator ever ex
pected that the President would ever put
these clauses into effect."
With regard to the duties proposed by
this bill on window glass, Mr. Carlisle
stated that on one class they were raised
from 734 Per cent to 74 per cent, and on
another from 115 io 153 per cent. This
statement and others made by him with re
gard to tin plate was challenged by Mr.
Aldrich. Mr. Carlisle, however, stated
that he was quoting from figures furnished
bv the Finance Committee, bnt if these sta
tistics were not correct, then of course his
deductions could not be right, and there the
discussion dropped.
Tin Flito Outlook.
Mr. Allison followed and attacked Mr.
Carlisle's figures with reference to the
, amount of reduction in revenues to be
brought about by this bill. Mr. Allison
stated that it would be at least 545,000,000 or
540.000,000. "With regard to tin plate, he
said that he had no doubt that in 1892
America would be able to produce all neces
sary for home consumption, and he referred
to the increase in the iron and steel indus
try between 1880 and 1890, during which
time the production had been almost
tripled.
Mr. Gray, of New Jersey, then took the
floor, and in the conrse of his speech took
occasion to introduce a statement, showing
the cost of labor ic producing steel rails.
This statement showed that the cost in labor
of producing these articles was $11 59 per
ton in this country, while in Europe it was
511 40, a difference of only 19 cents in favor
of the American laborer.
Both aides Heard.
Mr. Gray then stated that the duty pro
posed by this bill was $13 44, when to put
the home manufacturer on the same basis as
the European, it would only require a dnty
of 19 cents to cover the cost of labor.
Some remarks were made by Senator
Stewart, in the course of which he declared
that the bill was not highly protective
enough for him, and then Senator Aldrich
made the closing speech. He took up all
the principal changes made by the Confer
ence Committee in detail and explained
them and their effect. He declared that the
bill did not contain a single item which
raised the prices of the necessaries of life
snd be challenged the Democrats to name
one. Never had there been before such a
sceae as he had recently witnessed of im
porters demanding to be allowed to fix the
duties on imports, and the whole of the ar
guments of the Democratic side were, woof
end web, obtained from those gentlemen.

The arenge increase en woolen goods J

would not amount to more than 10 per cent,
and he believed that the bounty on sugar
would allow of the development of the sugar
beet industry of the Northwest, notwith
standing the fact that sugar was onHhe free
list. His speech was a remarkable effort.
Clear and concise, he wasted no words, and
disposed of the Democratic arguments in
detail. He has stood the brunt of the tariff
fight for the last two years, and had all the
figures and facts at his fingers' end. As an
argumentative production his speech has
few equals in recent Congressional annals,
and in delivery it was all that could be de
sired. At the close of Mr. Aldrich's remarks the
Senate proceeded to vote by yeas and nays
on tha conference report. The first break in
the party ranks was made when Mr. Pad
dock's name was called. He said that he
was paired with Mr. Eustis, but, as Mr.
Eustis would have voted no, he would
vote no.

Tne next break came immediately after,
when Mr. Pcttigrew's name was called. He
said that he was paired with Mr. Call, but
as Mr. Call would have voted no, he would
votc'no. The third and last break was when
Mr. Plumb (after all other Senators had
voted) stood up, and his name having been
called, voted no. The final result was an

In addition to above pairs, Mr. Call and
Mr. Eustis were paired with Mr. Pettigrew
and Mr. Paddock, who voted in the nega
tive. So the conlerence report was agreed
to; and now the tariff bill needs only the
signatures of the presiding officers of "both
Houses and of the President. The concur
rent resolution, with the amendment offered
to it, correcting the enrollment of the tariff
bill, was agreed to.

had consulted with the persons who had

Everything In Readiness for Congress to
Adjourn To-Day.
tniOir A STAFF COEItXSKMCDENT.l
"Washington, September 30. Every
thing is cleared up for an adjournment to
morrow. The tariff bill, nnd all others that
are ready for the President's signature
before the close of the session, have been
enrolled, the clerks taking advantage of
every opportunity to advance their;work,and
have been busy night and day. About the
ciem s omce to-day there was an active
scene, people interested in various measures
which have passed both Houses being on
band with anxious inquiries as to whether
the bills would be enrolled in time to get the
President's signature. Both men and
women were hanging on to the buttonhole
of Mr. McPherson pouring questions into
his ear.
A little hitch occurred in the tariff bill
because of a disagreement of numbers, of
sections, and while it was an unimportant
matter it was regarded as best to make the
correction by resolution, which was passed
by both Houses.

Tbe President Wants to Drop tbe Bnrrnn
dlaSIntier. "Washington, September 30. Pres'
dent Harrison decided to-day, after a talk
with Secretary Blaine, Vice President Mor
ton and a member of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs, that he wouldn't send
to Congress the correspondence be
tween the State Department and
Minister Misner relative to the
Barrnndia affair, because it would not be
"compatible with the pnblic interests" to
lay all facts in the case before Congress at
this time as suggested in a resolution passed
by the House a few days ago.
Secretary Blaine bas not yet read tbe cor
respondence, but the President has gone
over it carefully and thinks it would be jnst
as Well to leave it in the archives out of
sight of the public. If lie does not change
his mind suddenly the Congress resolution
will be ignored for awhile.

"Washington, September 30. Post
master "Wheat to-day made a statement be
fore the House committing investigating the
affairs of his office. He reiterated his
former statements to the effect that he
thought he was doing a proper thing
when he entered into the con
tract with Culbertson. His last
conversation with ex-Postmaster Dalton
led him to believe this was proper. Dalton
said the contractor conld afford to pay him
150 per month. In fact, the general under
standing he obtained everywhere was to the
effect that this was an office nerauisite.
Mr. "Wheat said, in reply to a question,
that he encaged in lobbying to aid Mr. Mc

THAT J0HHST0WH PUBLICATION
Defended by Messrs. Brown and Ilnnnnn of
the Board ot Inquiry.
rsrrciAL txlsorak to tux msrxTcn.1
Johnstown, September 30. The book on
the distribution of the relief funds published
by Mr. Benshoff continues to be discussed
on every street corner, and in fact every
where in the town. The citizens are glad
to have the report, though many complain
of unfairness in the distribution of
the money. Mr. John Hannan, of the
Local Board of Inquiry, has this to say in
reply to Mr. Ogden's protest against the
publication:
The prime motive fcr allowing the publi
cation of the book is that Mr. Ogden's re
port, as he claims to be Chairman ot tbo com
mittee and is responsible for it, does not
agree with the boots of the Board of In
quiry. Were the amount small the matter
could be overlooked, but it is so great that
the board considers it a crimo to longer
withhold the Information, and, therefore,
the better to enable tbo donors (not their
representatives) to follow every dollar that
was paid, it gives tbe names of each recipient.
This is not a crime, nor is it dishonorable. We
believe it due to all interested to give it.
Attorney Jacob Brown, also a member of
the Board of Inquiry, agrees with Mr.
Hannan that the publication of the book was
advisable. Contumely had been heaped upon
the board, it even being asserted that three
of the men who got $6,000 each were on the
Board of Inquiry. The only member who
got $0,000 was Mr. Hannan.'

K. of I Complaints Against a New Yorker
Sending Men to This State.
1SPEC1AL TSLEQEAH TO TUB CISrATCU.1
New York, September 30. Mayor's Mar
shal Englehard listened to-day to testimony
ou the complaint which tbe Knights of
Labor have brought against S. F. Slomsky,
who runs an employment agency at 10 Bat
tery Place. Slomsky has sent over 200 men
down to the mines of the "Westmoreland
Coal Company, in Pennsylvania, since Sep
tember 4. Tbo old hands have been on a
strike since last May, and the Knights say
that he engaged the men under misrepresen
tations as to the wages they would get.
Several witnesses swore "that they had been
engaged by Slomsky, and told that there was
no strike. President Collough and other
officers of the coal company testified that 200
new men obtained through Slonisky's
agency were now at work in the mines, and
were very well satisfied with their treatment
by the company. Marshal Englehard has
referred the matter .to Corporation Counsel
Clark for advice as to whether there is suffi
cient ground for revoking Slonisky's license.

to-day.
rSPXCIAL TETZQBAX TO THE DI8FATCH.1
New Yoke, September 30. The second
day of the convention ot the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers was a particu
larly busy one. Not only was tbe business
programme very long, but the necessity for
planning for the tour through the country
gave the members plenty to worry about
Nearly as many of the visitors as attended the
sessions of the institute in Chickering Hail
remained at their hotels. The orowds in the
Park Avence Hotel remained as
large during the sessions as at other times,
this being partly due to the fact that the
members knew that all the papers read were
sure to come into their hands, sooner or
later, in printed form.
"While Jthe men were engaged at Chicker
ing Hall or lounging in the hotel lobbies
this morning the'ladles were enjoying them
selves in their own way. The wives and
daughters of the visitors were taken in hand
by a local committee of tbe ladies.
entertaining the visitors.
At 10 o'clock carriages were sent' to all the
hotels at which the lady guests were stop
ping, and a procession of tbem started up to
Central Park. The ladies enjoyed a splendid
drive in the sunshine through Central Park
and up Riverside drive, stopping ou their
way back at the Metropolitan Museum ot
Art Other entertainments have been pro
vided for the ladies, who will also accom
Eany the gentlemen on the excursions that
ave been planned. To-morrow the ladies
will start at 9 o'clock on a sight seeing tour
through some of the important business
houses.
The attendance at the morning session
was unexpectedly small. Mr. Hewitt was
absent and Tirst Vice President Eekley
B. Coxe, of Drifton, Pa., presided. Several
ol the members who had been announced to
read papers failed to come, one of them for
tbe very good reason that he was on the
high seas. The first paper was read by H.
C. Spauldintr, of Boston. It was on ''Elec
tric Power Transmission in Mining Opera
tions." Dr. Baymond, in commenting upon the
use of electric power, suggested that the
alternating current would attain its highest
power when a successful converter was in
vented. irrigation by electricity.
Dr. James Douglass said that he had
som'e experiments in view in connection
with some immense "Western farms where
irrigation was required. He proposed to
establish pumping stations at isolated, paints
'and bring water from a, distanceby the aid
of electric power. He proposed in this way
to irrigate a valley more than 100 miles
long and 20 wide.
Mr. A. D. Hodges, Jr., of Boston, con
tributed an interesting history of the devel
opment of operations in the world famous
Comstock mine. In "Notes on the Excava
tion of the New York Aquedust," Mr. J. P.
Causon mentioned some of the expensive
experiments that had marked tbe beginning
of the work. Other papers presented were:
"Physical and Chemical Equations of the
Open Hearth Process," by J. H. Campbell,
ofSteelton, Pa.; "Water Gas in Europe,"
byE. Blass of Essen; "American Boiling
Mills," by B. "W. Hunt, of Chicago, and
"Notes on Coal Mining in Oregon," by E.
H, Norton, of Portland.
"Notes on Becent Improvements in Ger
man Steel "Works and Boiling Mills" was
the title of a paper read by B. M. Dallen,
ot Dusseldorf, Germany, at the afternoon
session.
SOAKING PITS IN STEEL TVORK8.
That portion ot the address relating to
the introduction of soaking pits in Bteel
works attracted considerable attention. The
advantages and disadvantages of these pits
were disenssed at some length by Mr. Hunt,
of Chicago; Mr. Hollaway and Mr. Durfee.
They said that the several trials of the pits
in this country had been failures, and
that the system would have to be more
thoroughly understood by the steel men of
this country before it would be adopted.
Mr.Durfree thought the labor organizations
might have had something to do with the
failure of the pits, as, it they had been a
success it would have dispensed with a
number ot men.
A paper on "Machinery for the Charging
of Heating and Melting Furnaces" was
read by S. F. Wellman of Thurlow, Pa.
The third session of the long and busy
day began at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Three papers were read, and all were illus
trated by stereoptician views. The audience
was larger than dnring the day and included
a number of ladies. The latter sat patiently
through three hours of scientific discourse,
although most of the time they were unable
to see even each others' bonnets because of
the darkness nccessarcfor the lantern views.
INTERESTING LANTERN VIEWS.
The first of the papers read was by Mr.
James Douglas, Jr., and was entitled'"The
Copper Besources of the United States."
Engineer A. Eteley explained the work
and present condition of tbe "New York
Aqueduct "JEckley B. Coxe described "The
New Iron Breaker at Drifton." The lan
tern views of the interior of mines and
shafts, and those of the Drifton iron
breaker enlivened and explained mnch that
would otherwise have remained technical
matters. Mr. Douglas' paper was also es
pecially interesting in its description of the
great copper deposits and the work reqnired
to obtain them. Mr. Coxe prided himself
on the fact that bis new iron breaker, which
was built on plans suggested by himself and
his associates in business, had not injured
any of the workmen engaged in its construc
tion. Tbe difierent machines of the breakers,
and the way in which the lumps of coal were
broken up into the various sizes required
for commercial purposes were explained by
very clear lantern views. "With the finish

A FAMINE INEVITABLE.
TOUCHING APPEAL FOR AID FOR THE
POOROF IRELAND.
-
Many Threatened Willi Starvation an Ac

I-cading Americans Ualio la Asking
Contributions to Holleve Erin's Ufor
tnnstss.
New York, September 3a The Sun to
morrow will publish an appeal to the people
of America from the American Committee
lor tbe Belief of Famine in Ireland. The
most trustworthy information from public
and private sources in all parts of Ireland
is to the effect that the complete failure of
the potato crop makes another great famine
in that mos t unfortunate of lands practica
bly inevitable. The point of actual snffering
from hunger has not yet been reached, but
the days of starvation, unless help comes,
are not far off. It tbe last great famine, in
1878-79 the Irish leaders, Parnell, Davitt
and the others who voiced the country's ap
peal for food pledged themselves never
again to appear as --supplicants before the
world on behalf of starving Ireland. So no
appeal has been sent out, and probably none
would, from that resource until tbe situation
became desperate and itbecame no less than
crimlual any longer to withhold it.
A movement is on foot among well known
men, not connected with the Irish societies
or political bodies, to bring to the attention
jp! America the appalling calamity which
now threatens Ireland before actual death
trom hunger has claimed anv victims. It
has been decided to organize under the
name of American Committee for the Be
lief of Famine in Ireland. It is proposed
to make its work cover both North and
South America. The personnel of the Amer
can Commission contains the following
names: Chairman, General James Grant
"Wilson; Honorary Chairmen, Hon. Ruther
ford B. Hayes, Hon. Grover Cleveland;

The appeal of the American Committee re
cites: The Irish leaders pledged themselves and
their people In 1SS0 never again to appeal to
America for aid in time of famine. If their
tongues and pens are silent now it is only be
cause they recognize the sanctity of pledges then
given, and not Because their need is not great.
Bnt the privilege of giving is none the less
ours, and tbe dnty of aiding our starving
brothers is none the less imperative. It will
not do to wait until the Irish people have
proved the existence of famine by dying bv
scores for lack of food. Shall men fall dead
before the public higbwars,because Americans
have said: We will give relief next month, but
not now?
Shall children die wailing with hunger and
skeleton babies suck in vain at the ibreast of
mothers dead or dying of starvation, because
Americans have said: "We will give by and by.
It is too soon now to give."
Let those who hare never known the ex
tremity of hunger remember those who starve.
There is no time to spare, no time to delay.
The Irish people need aid now. The American
Committee appeals for immediate subscrip
tions of money, provisions and clothing.

Captain Beebe, of this port, has been out
with his tug, Free Lance, testing the merits
of an electric log, the invention of a Pacific
coast steamboat captain who died before
completing it. A New Loudon relation
has worked on it for several months. It is
a small brass tnbe, at the end of which is a
propeller. "Within the tube are wheels that
are set in motion in tbe proDeller when the
instrnment is drawn through the water.
The whole mechanism is connected by a
wire with a batterv and dial which may be
placed on board of the vessel which uses it.
In a trial Captain Becbe sailed over a

on his tour through towns in "Western Penn

Delamater were vigorously applauded by
the large crowds.
TitusvillE, September 30. It was
nearly 12 o'clock last night when the great
meeting in the Opera House at Bradford ad
journed and after that hour the Democratic
campaigners were handsomely entertained
by the Exempt Fire Association, of which
ex-Governor Pattison is an honorary mem
ber. Early this morning the start was made
from Bradford, the party having been joined
tnere by a number or local committeemen
and well-known Democrats.
The first important stop was made at
"Warren. A large concourse of people met
the visitors at the station and a half dozen
carriages were well filled by the local com
mittee and speakers. Tbe town wore a holi
day appearance, and a large portion of its
population were out upon an open square
upon the river bank where arrangements
for the meeting had been made. Governor
Pattison spoke at some length. He was
followed by Black, Vcale and Hensel, and
as the party drove off the crowd cheered
lustily.
GREETED BT CROWDS.
At Tidioute 400 or 00 persons had gath
ered at the station, and a stop was made
long enough to enable the Governor and
Hensel to make brief speeches. From this
point the train ran toTionesta, where there
was a stop for dinuer. The meeting was
promptly organized in front of the hotel, and
Hensel spoke for half an hour while the
others dined. Major Veale and ex-Governor
Pattison made brief speeches, which
were attentively listened to by a good-sized
crowd.
In both "Warren and Forrest counties Pat
tison received assnrance of support from
many leading Bepublicans., Oil City was
reached at 3 P. M., and a meeting was held
in front of the Oil Exchange, ex-Governor
Pattison, ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor Black, Veale and Hensel
speaking from its steps to a street
full o! people. The demonstration at Frank
lin, the county seat of Venango, was one of
the most spirited and effective of the whole
turn. Arnold Plummer, the well-known
Democrat and banker, escorted the Pattison
party to tbis town, .and they were met at
the railroad station with the usual accom
paniments of an enthusiastic reception.
olowino prospects.
A procession of four or five hundred citi
zens followed them to the hotel, and a meet
ing was held from its front steps. Governor
Pattison, Messrs. Black, Hensel, Veale and
Monagban spoke for over an hour to con
stantljncreasing numbers, and-' those who
had accompanied the itinerary in 1882'noted
that in all respects the spirit ol the event
was even more promising now than then.
' A run of an hour by special train landed
the partyin Titusville, one of the principal
towns in Delamater's own county, Crawford.
Leading citizens met them at the station,
and the visitors at once proceeded to the
Opera House. It was packed to the utmost
capacity.
Major Veale opened the' meeting, and
Pattison, Monaghan, Black, Hensel and
Barclay followed. The speeches were even
more aggressive than at other points, and
tbe arraignments of Quay and Delamater
were received with attention and every tell
ing point vigorously applauded. This meet
ing was even larger than the one at Brad
ford. in delamater's county.
The beautiful and spacious Opera House
was crowded pit and gallery to the very roof.
Many ladies were present and the private
boxes were ocenpied by enthusiastic parties.
Nearly every man in the party has in these
two days made about a dozen speeches, but
the size and character of the meetings, the
assurance uh every hand of a thorough Dem
ocratic organization and of increasing Re
publican defection have been a source of in
bpiration, and the campaigners will strike
Erie county to-morrow in admirable con
dition for effective work.
Ou Thursday the partv will return to
Crawford and appear at Delamater's own

their way down through the Lawrence

GOOD ATTENDANCE AND PAIE' SPORT
The fall trotting meeting at Homewood
Park began yesterday. There were two
races on the card. Both went to field
horses. The time made in each contest was
very fast considering the time of year. The
attendance was aboat 2,000, and the interest
lively.
"This was a nice cool September day for
the favorites," remarked a thoughtful-looking
man as he emerged from Homewood
Park last evening.
"Yes, sir, but it was delightful autumn
weather for the field," replied a serene gen
tleman, who acted as if he knew more abont
i horses than the man who wrote the book.

were not saying much of anything but
waiting nntil they ionnd a suitable oppor

The inaugural of the fall meeting was a
success in more ways than one. The attend
ance was beyond expectation, there being
between two and three thousand people
present. The weather was as fine as if it
had been made to order. It Was just right
for comfort and everyone seemed to enjoy
it. While it was not as hot as horsemen

eye out ot more than one man who thought
that Jimmy Goldsmith and his Bicbmond,
Jr., were invincible.
A SIIGHTT USEFUL IIOBSB.
Although there were but three starters
out of eight entries in this event, it proved
very interesting, and developed the fact that

N. Y., and was sired by Hoipodar, he by
Belmont. His dam cap be traced back "to

was 2:21, made at the Fleetwood Park -
meeting. "f
His victory prompted the remark by o
more than one turfman that there never was
a fall meeting held in Western Pennsyl
vania and probably in the State where so
many nign class norses were entered, and
the prospects are that before tbe week is
done there will be more than one heat trotted
and paced that would be a credit to any
track in the country.
The Dallas-Hal Pointer race on Thursday
is already the topic of much talk, and was
quite freely discussed by the early comers at
the track yesterday morning. Some people
like the horse brought out by Mr. Geers,
the gentleman from Tennessee who now and
then remarks in his peculiar dialect that,
"I most always have a pacah that can go a
little in spots;" while many more think the
Pittsburg pacer is the greatest side-wheeler
that stands on iron to-day.
VERT HOTLY CONTESTED.
The 2:30 pace yesterday was a very ex
citing and hotly contested event. If there
is any class of contest known to man where
the result is always in doubt until the
judges give out the final decision, it is a go
between the pacers. Men who would shoul
der a musket and go ont in defense of their
country at the first call, acknowledge their
lack of sand in taking a band In a battle of
this kind. When it looks to be all over
but tbe hurrah, along comes something from
the shady end of the race and causes every
body to throw up both hands and call
for quarter. The skirmish yesterday was
no exception to the rule that has prevailed
since horses were driven to harness. Guess
ing began early and continued" until the
company was dismsssed in the early even
ing, lor a while ueugnt was uneied,
then Doctor L., and finally the
little black mare Ada settled into
a prime favorite wsth a majority of
those present and increased her hold on
their affections so dnring the first two heats
that nothing else was talked about, but just
as if she had the race in hand. Mao loomed
up and gave the Ada people a pain by win
ning the third beat in rather slow time,
after a beautiful contest, which lasted be
tween them clear into the homestretch.
Ada's friends clung to her. however, right
up to tbe last minute, until they were like
the gentleman who fell out of the balloon.
Mac's victory was not overly popular, as
the little black mare is only four years old,
and seemed to be as willing as anything la
the race to win. The time by quarters,
however, shows that it is
THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Carrying her to the quarter at a 2:16 gait la
one heat and a 2:17 gait in the next, and go
ing down to the half at 220 clip, was a
little too much for her.
The winner, Mac, is a rangy bay gelding
and as steady as a clock. His history equals
that of the famous "White Stockings, the
