John McBride said tonight that while
the fiettlt-incnt was not all that
he conld wish, it was the best
that the miners could hop,; for under
the circumstance!. They were atill
the victors of the contest. "The
miner! were starving, Industrial were
paralyzed and thousand! of fellow
Workiugmen were being daily thrown
out of employment by reason of the
coal famine while the interference
with property rights which wherever
dont was blamed on the miners, was
loosing public sympathy for ns." Ho
thought the settlement would be at
once ratified all over the district.
Secretary Brooks, according lo in
structions of the conference, filed a
copy of the agreement with Uoverhor
McKinley as its custodian. Governor

ral Literature lo Be Circulated,
Washington, June 11,
THE progress made by liie senate
today in the consideration Of the
tariff bill was not only excep
tionally good, bnt was" "amnz
ing" to those seuators who nnd had no
Idea of what was going to happen.
Schedule, II, the spirits at. d wines sched
ule, got through In less than thro
boms, with very litilo disctissio.i and
with no serious friction. Then Oams
the cotton schedule, which has been
lookej forward to as the one around
which tho tiirhl would r.igo longest,
an i fiercest, but it was the unex
pected that happened. Paragraph af
ter paragraph was pat through with
out question and without discuision,
and it was not until after the last par
agraph in the schedule was reached
and disposed of, that tlf!) rapidity of
he pace gave a chanco to Mr. Dolpb
(Or.) to catch his breath and express
ids am i semen t at this legislative rapid
transit. Ten pages of tile oill, he said,
had been rnshed through in thirty
minutes, without a single New Eng
laud senator opening his mouth in p
postion. Tbit silence, bethought, was
significant.
Tue mystery which puzzled tho sen
ator from Georgia was dissipated when
Mr. Aldriob, Rhode Island, confessed
that the sohediile had been most scien
tifically framed, and that the finance
ci mmittee deserved the thanks of the
cotton manufacturer! for having coa
seulol to an arrangement which, vvliile
the dulici were not high enough,
was perfectly satisfactory. The
jute section, which was next in order,
uad not euoh smooth sailing as th"
cotton section had, whioh fact pro
vokod the sarcastic rem irk of Mr. Halo,
.Maine, that tho finance committee had
not p ii i so much attention to the paci
fication of the manufacturers of bur
laps as to that of the niiuufacturei's of
cotton.
HR. QUAY'S LONG ADDRESS.
Them worn some amusing and inter
esting passages In a discussion over the
collar and nulls paragr aph, but the
OOUlinittee amendment was carried
without Its opponents being num reus
enongb to second a call for the yeas
.m l nays. Than the jute sectioawis
finished and the wool section taken up
for tomorrow, whiol) Mr. Quay is to
re-open his portfolio aud deliver an
other Instalment of the speech begun
by blm on Ap.il 10, and of which nu
merous parts have already been deliv
ered Mr. Quay, rising to a question of
personal explanation, sent to the clerk's
desk and iiad read a newspaper nrticle
connecting his name with a syndicate
of Philadelphia capitalists anid to be
trying to obtain possession of street
railroads in Washington. He asserted
that the only connection lie had with
the matter was that he introduced Mr.
D dan, of Philadelphia (supposed to be
the cmef of the syndicate), to Sen
ators McMillan and Faulkner, of the
District of Columbia committee, and
had asked some friends In the other
house to request some of tho Pennsyl
vania members to be present today in
order to constitute a quorum. That
was the extent of his knowledge of or
connection with the matter. lie would
not have mentioned it at all but for the
fact that Senator Chandler under
stood to be tho authority for tho arti
cle. Mr. Chandler. N. H., said that he
had heard of a syndicate for the for
mation of a traction cunpany to obtain
ontrolof str-et railways in Washing
ton H had never until this moment
beard Mr. Detail's name coirnecied
with any such project, and he cer
tainly had made no remark attributing
any improper motive to tbe senator
from Pennsylvania, and he had no
reason to doubt the oxaet truth of Mr.
Quay's statement.
JOKE UNAPPRECIATED,
Mr Qiiay suggested fucetously that
the sul ject might as well be referred to
the select OOUlinittee investing the
connection of the sugar trust with the
tariff bill, and the vice president, treat
lag the suggestion seriously, asked
whether there waa any objection, and as
there wur none, he declared that tbe
suggestion was agreed to, and that the
matter was referred to the select com
mit ice.
Several of the members of the homo
wero in an an ill humor today, !0 that
requests for consideration of private
bills by unanimous consent, to which
the first half of tho s essions is usually
devoted, were met by demands tor the
usual order, nnd no bills wero passed.
A resolution introduced by Mr.
ilailey (Deiu., Tex ) was reported favor
ably and agreed to, providing for the
printing of 0,000 copies of a compila
tion of themeesuges, proclamations and
inaugural sddreisst of the presidents
of the United States from 1789 to 1694

for belief that by the first part of Au

at tho head of the lake! to

in store at he present time is
scire ly 7,000,000 bushels. The amount
now left iu farmers' hands is not esti
mated at enough to be worthy of men
lion. For the past three weeks millers
hive been drawing largely upon the
eluvatore for their supplies, tho receipt!
by rail being far short of the amount
necessary for their consumption,
Of the 7,000.000 Inshi ls now In store
