CUCKOO NOTES
Thinks Criticism of Cleveland Is Treason to
tho Great Republic.
K!S HAOSEMISG SYCOPHANCY
The Senator from Wisconsin Defends
tho President in a Speech More Re
markable for Its Servility Than for
Its Sense Nevertheless, the Senate
Declines to Recede from Its Protec
tive Duties on Iron Ore and Coal.
Washington, July 28
"nOT until 2 o'clock today did the
i senate tiuie up the question of
V agreeing to a further conference
JVJ on thn tariff I ill. When it did
Mr. Vilns addressed the senate in a two
hours' speech delivered oft hand and
with uiucu oratorical til'eet. Ilia
speech whs highly eulogistic of Presi
dent Cleveland whom he defended from
the charges of duplicity and of the im
proper interference with legislnliu ',
muds by Senator Gorman in his speech
of Monday.
Mr. Viius reviewed the varions t;iri fT
messages of the presi lent, whioh, uo
said, unbraced uo novelty with refer
ence to coal and Iron not familiar to
lis parly friends. Could it b pre
timed, in view of these etinnci;itions,
that that distinguished man (Mr. Cleve
land) could lay aside his view on tariff
reform? Mr. Vila then draw Mr. Gor
man, metaphorically, over the coals for
detailing private conversations with the
president. There had b,eu no oi
rect testimony, he said, by Mr.
Gorman or his witnesses, tlut
the president had acted with du
plicity, Thi senator from Arkansas,
(Mr. Jonrx), one of Mr. Gorman's wi'
utsse", had said that he laid the 410
amendments to the tariff bill before
the president and now the president
was accused of having agree 1 to all of
them. How conld the president agree
to kII of those detailed amendment?
How many senators could give a detaile 1
recount of these iiineudment and thoir
effect on the business of the country?
The president had merely considered
these things generally, devoting his at
teutiou and In remarks to the great
principle involved ia free coal and
tree iron.
FOR FREE IROV AND COAL.
He (Mr. Vilas) had asked the senator
,'rom Arkansas if the president had not
expressed to him the hope that co-il
and free iron wnnld be the outcome of
this great question and the senator
from Arkansas answered traly that on
every occasion snch was the fact. Who
could say that there had bean a lack of
openness on the part ot the president
or that he did not believe that this till
before it? perfection would carry free
coal and free iron ore?
Oa this single statement of the senator
from Arkansas, he would be content to
let rest this charge of duplicity on the
part cf that groat officer of the gov
ernment The president had not en
deavored to infringe on the preroga
tives of the senate and not with im
plicit', but with the same open manner
that had always characterizod him
tie had said to tho chairman of the
ways and means committae that he
hoped that the result might be accom
plished in conference with reference to
In e coal and iron, as he bad a perfect
right to do.
Who would gainsiy that the presi
dent had not us much right to give his
Views on this question as freely after
his conversation with the senator from
Arkansas as be bad before, Mr. Vilas
maintained that the president's letter
was not an txecutive document. It
was a personal letter and the measure
of its personality' might be gauged by
a consideration of it contents. During
these remarks Mr. Vilas became ve
hement. In thunderous terms of ac
centuation he cried out that the sena
tor from Maryland was apparently of
the opinion that he had the right to
direct the president but tL it the presi
dent bad no right to express his views.
CLEVELAND A3 A DEMI-GOD.
Mr. Vilas spoko of Mr. Cleveland as
'the great first citizen of the republic,
vnd as the representative of the mi.
,ional honor and declared, with solem
nity and vehemencv, that to assail
Grover Cleveland was to strike at tin
republic, that to insult him was to af
front every good citizen, and tlut to
stab him was to sting the heart of
every true American." In conclusion he
withdrew bis motion ot Friday to strike
out me additional discriminating duty
of i of a cent a pound on sugar and fav
ored Mr. Gray's motion to insist and
to consent to further conference. He
did this, he said, because he was a
strict party man and desirod to be in
accord with his Democratic brethren
And he expressed the hope that out of
the conference would come a measnre

teres an invasion of the legislative
power such as had cost Charles I his
bead. At the close of the debate a vote
was taken on Mr. Hill's motion to re
cede from the duty of 40 cents a ton on
iron ore and on coal. There were only
six votes, including his own. cast in
favor of it as against sixty-five lu the
negative. Mr. HcCarrroy withdrew
bis motion in favor of a modified
sugar bounty for 1891 Mr. Quay had
already withdrawn his motion to have
sugar pnt on the free list and the onlv
question left was Mr. Quay's motion to
insist and to agree to toe further con
fcreuco asked by the house. As iho
vole was about to be taken Mr. Vilas'
motion to recede from the one-eighth
cent a pound discrimination duty on
ngar was renewed by Mr. Washburn,
A point of order was made against it
aud that point wss discussed without
u conoiution being reached until 5. 45,
when tho senate adjourned.

passed both branches of con
gress, and today the conference report
ou the bill was agreed to in tin house.
It requires tho company to equip und
operate its linos with an underground
ystem within a period ot two years,
under heavy penalties for failure. It
was stated in debate that this wag one
of tho most important measures ever
passed by congress, as the demonstra

be successfully operated will compel a
change of power of thousands of miles
of electric roads in the United States.
The day's session was devoted largely
to the consideration of business re
ported from the committee ou inter

teen bills were passed. Among the
more important wero those to extend

That He Might Accept a Unani

New York, July 20 It is said that
prominent Republicans have communi
cated with Mr. Morton iu regard to tbe
Republican gubernatorial nomination.
and that he has informed his friends
that he is williug to cake the place if
ho is not asked to engage in a cam
paign preliminary to tne convention.
lilts, it is said, will be agreed upon,
atid the gentlemen who are willing to
uudertake the work are confident that
the announcement of the candidacy of
Morton at the proper time will result
in the withdrawal ot other aspirants.
Mr. Morton is now in France, but is
expected boras in three or four weeks.
Wb.-n he left tho United States his
health was poor, but recently he is said
to be improved. His willingness to
undertake tho campaign would o ac
cented as evidence of his own b-lief iu
his physical powers. It Mr. Morton
coos into tbe convention h,e will only
be labeled a Morton man and a Repub
lican, For years be has stood aloof
from factional quarrols, and made uo
public expression ot sympathy.
iu-pnblicun leaders seen today were
of opinion that Morton has strength
not possessed by either Choate, aaxton,
Fassett or Roberts. Ex-Senator Piatt
is said to believe that Morton is the
man to nominate.
THE GOVERNOR ON THE STRIKE.

the governor's proclamation.
Governor Pattison wired for infor
mation and was later advised that tho
sheriffs had tak'ii tnvasnrcs to sup

fjUYEHTED
The Anlhrac'le Sales Agents Finally Assent
to a Restrictive Policy.
AUGUST OUTPUT 2,500,003 TONS
After an All-Day Session in Gotham
It Is Decided to Curb the Marketing
of the Precious Black Diamonds at
Cut Rates, but to Mako No Change
In Prices Notable Victory for the
Individual Operators.
ftirriol to Vie Pirnnlnn Trthunn,
New York, July 20.
HAT threatened to develop into
u genuine crisis in the anthra
cite coal trade wns happily
averted today, ufter a pro
longed session of the sales agents, dur
ing which every argument was brought
to boar, pro and con, in relation to tbe
August iilloimtmt. Tho conservative
forces proved the stronger, however,
and it was finally agreed to restrict
the output for August to 2 500,009
tons, of which amount 1,350,000 tons
uro to be produced before Aug. IS. No
change was undo in prices.
This is a substantial victory for the
individual operators, whose associa
tion, largely through the instrumen
tality of Thomas H. Watkina, of
Scrantnu, Pn., had earnestly sought to
avert the ruinous rate-cutting believed
to be inevitable had the large carrying
corporations used their coal simply as
feeders to their trallie receipts, inde
pendent of Its intrinsic value.
Tho acquiescence of the Reading Coal
an I Iron company to the restrictive
policy was largely brought about
through the indefatigable efforts of
Mr. Watkins and bis fellow officers in
the Anthracite Operators' association,
President Hirris was brought round
to a comprehension of the necessity of
husbanding tho resources of the Xiead-
ing mines at a time when, bad they
been Ireely poured into a weakened
market, it would, it is believed, have
precipitated an era of circular shading
hurtful to till the interests of the trade.
The report thnt tbe Lacknwuunn and
Lehigh Valley companies were among
the opponents to a restricting policy
originated in the fact that these com
panies simply proposed to meet com
petitive cuts. They wero willing to
assent to a uniform and genuine restrlc
lion; but were unwilling to be made
tho subjects of a'.luci; by companies not
loyal to the agreement. The outcome
ot today's meeting will, it is thought,
strengthen the trade and enable it to
approach the autumn with every pros-
ptjetof profitable and healthy activities,

Special Coricjjionifciice.
London, July 18
THIS week has been essentially a
sporting one. Politics have been
confiuod to estimates nnd sup
plies and have been therefore
uninteresting. There has been two
particularly disgusting divorce cases,
tint tho rest of the paper teems with
American news chiefly news about
tbe strike, and it is devoutly to be
hoped that a great deal of it ie exagger
ated. There has been a lot of talk lately
about tbe likelihood of Sir William
Hnrcourt's resigning his position in the
house of commons, nnd rumor has been
busy with the names of probable, suc
cessors. Secretary Avquith, John Mor
ley and Campbell Bannerman have
been generally couimentod on. 1 he last
named is undoubtedly a sound and
steady politician and his succBiion to
Sir William would meet with approval
oil both sides of the bouse. John
Morley wou'.d alsr moet with the ap
proval of tbe large selection of his own
partv. but he has decidedly advanced
his views, which be is uot ut all afraid
of expressing, und contention is the
last thing to be wished for m tho Lib
eral party just now. Mr. Aoqulth is
one ot our most rising young men, but
has scarcity experience euough yet to
warrant his leading the house. This ia
all, of course, a matter of conjeoture,
but it seems more than probable that
Sir William will resign. It is pretty
generally known that he was greatly
disappointed at Lord Rosebry beiug
created premier over his head, and it is
thought, too, that' Lord Ilosebery
will not shed many tears over fair
Williams retirement.
Tbe result of tbe first four yachting
races betweon tho Vigilant and the
Britannia has naturally bean very
gratifying to Englishmen. The races
have been shorn of a lot of interest
owing to the unfortuuate sinking of
the Valkyrie and the temporary dis
ablement of tbe Satanita. It is partic
ularly galling to Lord Hunraven, as he
is a thorougn sportsman and, win or
lose, be would much have liked con
testing the various prizes with the
beautliul white boat that bo success
fully lowered bis colors in American
waters. All good sportsmen would like
to see the Vigilant have a turn
at winning and with two yachts so
evenly matched as the Vigilant nnd
the Britannia, it is more than probable
that such a result may yet come about.
Apart from all this the advent of such
a tine boat us Mr. Gould's in our waters
is sure to arouse considerable interest
on both sides of the "pond,1' and
Americans may safely expect Lord
Dunraveu in New York next year with
a new yaoht.
The divorce case of Hawtrey vs
Hawtroy is ovor but uot settled.
Charles Hnwtrey is a favorite comedv
actor ovor on this side and spends a
great deal of bis time in tbe bank
ruptcy courts. Mrs. Hawtroy has
money of her own, and she applied for
a divorce on tbe grouuds of Charles'
adultery aud cruelty. The queen's
proctor intervened to prevent the de
cree being made absolute, owing to
Mrs. Hawtrey s conduct with a young
man named Cooper, It transpired that
Mrs. Hawtrey treated Cooper as a
'won," while her duty as Belt-imposed
mother carried with it the necessity of
a great deal too much nffection. The
jnrylouud that they did not commit a
crime, but also found that Important
evidence was omitted, This leaves the
case exaetly where it was, and it will

CGUNCILMEN WILL PLAV BALL.
Seleot and Common Branches Will Flebt
It Out at Hogau Para:.
At the conclusion of the meeting of
common council and while tho select
branch was still in session lust night,
Mr. Moir, with gravity fitting theoc
CHsion, arose in place and offered the
following resolution:
Bo It resolved by tho common counci
of the city of fcranton, and it is hereby
resolve! by the authority of the same,
that now. to wit. the 'Jlith day of July, A.
D., J1DCCCLXXXX1V, we the memoers
of the aforesaid common council do hereby
challenge the memiiers or tne select conn
cil of tho city of fcratiton to. a game of
base ball to be played at liogan park ou a
date to be mutually n creed upon between
the parties hereinbefore named in this
resolution.
Tbe resolution was unanimously
adopted. (Chairman Robathau ap
pointed Captuiu Moir, Mr. Battle and
Mr. Robinson a committee to carry the
challenge to the othur body, aud it was
done forthwith.
When tbe committee filed into the
select chamber there was a lull iu the
heated bridge discussion, that was ou
ut the time, aud all matters were laid
aside to give audience to the visiting
committee. Mr. Moir banded up the
resolution to Chuirman Roche and
when be perused its con ten is there
waa a breathless stillness lu the cnam
