Unttories on .11 1. I)c Ainioint.
Washington, Jun 27. Tomouow at fi
p. m. tlie senate will vote upon the Tel
ler resolution ami the pending amend
ments thereto. When the senate today
iook up tne resolution, me agreement
made last week that the final vote up
on It should be taken befoie adjourn
ment today, wus changed In older that
nil senator!) might have nn opportunity
to speak. Tomut low's session will be
gin ut 10 n m and after 2 p. m. the
speeches will be confined to fifteen min
utes each. Today's session continued
for moie than six hours, the lesolutlon
being under discussion throughout,
practically the entire session. The
speeches In support of the resolution
were delivered by Mi. Daniel, Vltglnla;
Mr. Lindsay, Kentucky; Mr. Smith,
New Jersey, and Mr Cockrell, Missouri,
Mr. Daniel concluding the speech he
began last evening. Mr. Lodge (Mass.)
and Mr. CafCery (Dem., La ) opposed
the resolution. While the speeches for
the most pan were studied efforts, tho
session was replete with lively inci
dents and spicy colloquies. After re
viewing and analyzing at length the
financial legislation of the past quarter
of a century, Mr. Daniel said that con
giess ought to Keep the pledges of both
the Republican and Democratic parties
,to discharge government obligations in
the legal tender of the country. Thus,
alono ho thought could the United
States build up an Independent system
of finance and eseap&f.rpmthu clutches
of Wall street and Downing street.
Senator Ixdge, who followed, sold
that It has come now to a contest be
tween the two standards, and any
change In the monetary standard would
fall with dire results upon the musses
of the people, speculators and moneyed
men could soar above the storm, while
the plain people would receive the
In unt of Its fury. Ho held that It im
paired the credit of the country to pay
our obligations In the cheapest money.
When the government gae a choice as
to tho kind of money Its obligations
should be paid In by using the teim
"coin" it was proper that to the cred
itor the choice ought to be left.
The adoption of the tesolution and
the enforcement of Its provisions would
bo a policy fraught with great danger
to the country and to the people.
Mil. ALDRICH EXPLAINS.
In reply to Mr. Lindsay's statement
that the opponents of the resolution
.had forred the fight Mr. Aldrlch said:
"The senator from Kentucky is under
a misapprehension We did not bring
this resolution before tho senate. It
was brought here by Mr. Vest, one of
your distinguished friends after it had
been inttoduced by the senator from
Colorado (Teller). Thiee years ago it
was introduced in the house by the
Hon. William J Bryan, the great lead
er of tho Democratic party and the dis
cipline of your party Is so strong and
excellent that even the senator from
Kentucky Is now found fighting under
Mr. Rryan's leadership."
Mr. Caffrey (La.) delivered an ex
tended speech In opposition to the res
olution, if this resolution means what
It has been attributed to, he said, it is
clearly a violation of public morality,
If I have any proper conception of
wh'at public moralty is.
Mr. Cockrell, in the course of his re
marks, produced n J20 gold piece and
Inquired whether any Republican de
sired to give him for It forty standard
silver dollars. This proposition brought
on an interesting colloquy between Mr.
Cockiell on the one side and Messrs.
Aldrich, Foraker and Fairbanks on the
other concerning the value of bllver
coins in Mexico,
IN THE HOUSE.
The house today finally succeeded In
passing the Indian appropriation bill
and the political debate which has been
raging since Monday was transferred
to the District of Columbia bill which
followed it. Tho only two important
changes made in the Indian bill, as
passed, were tho elimination of the
provisions for the leasing of the gll
Fonite mlrteral lands of the Uncom
paghre reservation in Utah and thu
coal lands of the Kiowa, Commanch'e,
Apache and Wlchltn reservations, both
of Which went out on points of order.
The fentures of the debate today weie
the speeches of Mr. Hurtman (Silver
Rep., Mont.) in denunciation of the
financial policy of the administration
and of Mr. Dolllver (Rep., lu.) in reply
to the general attacks of the oppoM
tlnn. Mr. Haitman ridiculed Secietary
Gage's definition of bimetallism in tho
latter's speech at Philadelphia on
Tuesday, The Republican party, his
sold, foreclosed Its right to use the
term bimetallism when tho fit. Louts
platform was adopted. The whole drift
of the purpose nnd Intent of the admin
istration had been avowed and pro
claimed by Secretary Oagv before tha
banking committee; It was to irrevo
cably recommit tho government to the
gold standard. This position, he de
clared, could not bs reconciled with
Mr. McKinley's letter of acceptance.
Mr. Hurtman said he Knew that many
Republicans Vtero opposed to the re
tlicment of the greenbacks. "But," he
said, "what will they do about It when
tho banking and currency committee
report the bill to retlro the greenbacks?
If we may Judg the futuie by the
past there is little doubt of the result.
Th'ls Is no longer a house of roDresen
tattves," ho cried in stentorian tones,
"It is n house to register tho will of
those who control it"
"In this house." he continued, "we
should change the oath. Instead of
taking nn oath to support, protect and
detenu tho constitution of the United
States and perform our duties to the
best of our abilities we should nt the
opening of each rcsslon swear to sup
port, protect and defend the constitu
tion providing we can obtain the con
cent of the leading nations of the earth
and to perform our duties If the sreak
w will tnnlt us so to do." Great
laughter greeted this sally, which was
edoubled when Representative Towne,
of Minnesota, one of the sll
er Republicans, who bolted the St.
Louis convention, tell out of his chair
Into tho aisle.
Mr. DoAimond (Detn., Mo.) criticised
the Cuban policy of the administration
and with fine sarcasm lldlculed the of
ficial explanation of the visit of tho
battleship Maine to Havana harbor.
This drew fiom Mr. Dolllver (Rep., la.)
an eloquent reply. Said Mr. Dolllver:
DOLLIVEK TO DE ARMOND.
The question of Cuba la not a new ques
tion. The ndniliiistutoii or Grant was
culled upon to deal with an Insurrection
lu nearly every icspect un all fours with
the insurrection of todu, and at the end
of that time, se i n years of responsibil
ity, seven jcais of anxieties of woiry, In
a messnge sent to this house, he In
dicated this policy of the administration
and warned tho countr) that any lntei
veutlou in the affairs of Cuba would be
not onlv unwise but injurious. Tor my
part 1 do not abplre to a larger patriot
ism than that which governed the offi
cial cuii-er of Ulysses 8. Giant. For my
part If I were looking for a wiser pa
triotism 1 would not lesort to the rural
dlsttlcts of Missouri (Lauglitel). Mv
friend complains that tho Republicans
on this side of tho house are under the
tyianny and the mastery of one man 1
den It. There Is no authority that con
stialns tho Republican majority here ex
cept the policy of the Republican party
and the administration of a Republican
president. My friend t.as that wo ale
sluios. It Is a little ptoullur that we have
got to go to Missouri lor intormotlon in
icspect to the condition of servitude un
der which we labor and under which we
have suffered so muny months. Jt is true
we hae a leadership in this house and
I for one have ery often felt a certain
senso of satisfaction, that I huve not pos
sibly expressed, that we hae a Icadei
bhlp of bruins nnd character that men
inuy follow and follow without any loss
ot self respect. (Great appluuse).
I understand perfectly well the fu li
me and dlillculty ot my friend fiom Miss
ouri und I appreciate It. The only lead
ership tho Democratic party In this house
has had la tho leadership of its own
party It was put into the hands of a dis
tinguished young friend of mine fiom
Texas (nalley), and he had to light Tor
It overv dny nt the extra session. (Lauch
tur). One day the gentleman from Kan
sas (Simpson) got It awa from him and
the next day tho sceptre of authority and
influence of patty was seized bj that pic
turesque character that has 'appeared
among us from tho far dlstunt coast of
Washington (Mr. Lewis). (Laughter).
The next day tho gentleman lrom Ten
nessee was fighting to see who should
have tho leadership of tho Democratic
party, while in the background an al
ways melodious and ready with his ad
vice and ready to selro the falling bceptro
of his friend, wns tho gentleman from
Missouri (DeArmond), who has just taken
his sent and who In that congress and In
this has delivered moro speeches with
more ease and less effect than any man
that has appeared in the deliberations ot
congress for the ten years that I huvo
had the honor to servo on this floor.
(Grott laughter and applause on the Re
publican side).
The general debate drifted quickly
Into the question as to whether pros
perity had come with the Dlngley law.
Mr. Grosvenor (Rfp., O.) as the lat
est evidence of prosperity called atten
tion to the 10 cent per ton advance In
the wages of roil miners agreed upon
at Chicago yesterday. That increase,
he said, affected 200.000 miners.
STRIKE AT COTTON MILLS.
Tho Situation nt New Bedford Is
Unchanged.
Boston. Jan. 27. The strike situation
in New Bedford was unchanged today.
Seveial mill managers theie ridicule
dm ronnrt that. New Bedford mills
would import yarn from England to
enable thein to manufactute their cloth
without the aid of splnneis, who are
ciinin"if.iT in lio stroncr enoush to resist
the reduction for months. The manag
ers say that the duty on yarns is prac
tically prohibitive and that the New
Bedford mills now have a surplus of
jam on hand. The Eagle cotton mills
in Taunton have sh'ut down for an in
definite period owing to the siiaip com
petition of other mills. Two hundred
hands were employed in the Eaglo
milN
Full River, Mass., Jan. 27. The strike
interest in tills city now centers in
the situation at the King Philip mills,
the difficulties in the other mils hav
ing heen piactlcally settled. The sur
render of the frame salnners at the
Fall River Iron Works company's mills
ended the only other strike of large
pioportlons and at the Sagamore the
places of the discontented employes
have so far been filled as to nractlcal
ly end the difficulty theie.
Liietgcrt Trial.
Chicago, Jan. 27. In the Luetgert mur
der trial todav tho defense consumed con
sldeiablo time attempting to provo by
Stenographer Squibb, who reported tho
first trial, variances In the testlmuny of
medical experts nnd other witnesses who
testified at both hearings. Then tho de
fense turned the case over to tho prose
cution. Tho stato's attorney nt once
started in to Impeach tho voracity of

the Jury for a week yet.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY
ON THE SITUATION
Speech at the Manufacturers Banquet
at New York.
ON THE FINANCIAL QUESTION
The Peoples Purpose Must Give
Vitality to Public Law--'''lte Ullli
culties of Iteform--Trving Condi
tions from Which Our Couutry Is
Emerging.
New York, Jan. 27. The thlul annual
banquet of the National Association of
Munufactuieis of the United States,
which took place tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, was one of the
largest and most claboiate uffuirs of
tho kind ever given in this city. One
thousand guests were seated at tho
tables. The fact that Piesldent Mc
Klnley would be present cuu.sed a rush
for tickets.
President McKlnley was driven from
tho Windsor hotel and was lecelvcd at
the Waldoif-Astoiia at C.30 o'clock by
the committee of merchunts and at
once taken to the loyal chambeis. Half
an hour later lie appealed in the re
ception loom, where he held a levee for
more than an hour. The banquet hull
was magnificently decotnted, the tiers
of boxes being draped with silken ban
neis. The piesldent's flag was sus
pended over the head of the table fiom
the president's box. Seven long tables
extended the length of the loom and
sixteen small tubles weie placed on
cither side of the lows of long tables.
In the Astor galleiy annex were thirty
three other tables. The tables weie
elaboiately decoiated with Uowers and
potted plantf. The dais wheie the
president and the others sat were also
adorned with muny llowers. Fiom the
reception room up through the stair
way to the banquet room were lines of
palms and great ferns Owing to the
double banquet rooms there was much
confusion In making the assignment of
the guests to their seats at the tables.
The maich to the banquet hall began
at 7.15 and lasted until ulmost 7.110, be
ing a sttaggllng line. President Mc
Klnley, with the committee of thlity-
slx, marched Into the hall, the band
playing "Hail to the Chief."
It was after 9 O'clock when Wainer
Miller rapped for older. He then an
nounced that Rev. It. S. Mac-Arthur
would Invoke a blessing. Dr. Mac
Aithur in his piayer called for special
protection for the president nnd the
mcmbeis of the Manufacture! s' asso
ciation. THE SEATS OF HONOR.
Among those who occupied seats of
honor on the raised dais were.
President McKlnley, M. E. Ingalls,
Darwin It. James, Rev. It. S. Mac
Atthur, Thomas W. C. Rldler, Ran
dolph Guggenhelmer, Etfhti Root; John
Addison Porter, Attorney General John
W. Griggs, Lieutenant Governor Tim
othy L. Woodruff, Senator William !P.
Fry, Chatles Emory Smith, Wainer
Miller, Piesldent Theodore C. Scotch,
Henry B. Howland, ex-Mayor Wllllnm
L. Strong, Clement A. Grlscom, St.
Clair McKelway and Abner McKlnley.
Among the other guests were: Al
bert Pope, Henry W. Gaoon, Genoial
Sam Thomas, Lewis Nixon, E. A. Mc
Alpln, Wllllnm C. Whitney, Collls P.
Huntington and George Gunton
The menu cards were very elaboiate.
They were volumes of vellum bound in
unuresseu cair, with a monogram
burned into the cover, sui rounded by
a scroll. There were etchings of "Lib
erty," "The Brooklvn Bridge," "In
dustry," a scene on Wall street, "Com
merce nnd Tiansnortatlon," and some
or the large buildings in New York.
The piesldent's menu card was tho
same as that of the other gue3ts ex
cept that the edges were in gold nnd
the words "The Piesldent" in embossed
gold on the cover. At 10.30 o'clock
Warner Miller wrapped for older. He
referred to the youth of the associa
tion and said that the meeting would
be productive of more good than, any
thing that has been held in this coun
try for some time. Ho said there was
nothing political in tho organization.
The chief end of the organization, he
declared, was to extend the commerce
of the United States abroad.
"This association," he said, "would
advocate another department in the
cabinet, namely, a secretaiy of com
merce." Mr. Miller Introduced Theodore C.
Search, the president of the organiza
tion. The wildest excitement prevailed
when President McKlnley wns intto
duced. Men stood on their seats, wo
men in boxen waved their handker
chiefs and the upioar drowned tho
speaker's voice. The cheering and
clapping of hands were redoubled when
a toast was drunk to the piesldent.
MR. M'KINLEY'S SPEECH.
President McKlnley spoke slowly and
was plainly heard in every portion of
the hall. His reference to the cold day
In Cincinnati, January 22, 1893, was re
ceived with laughter, which broadened
into a perfect roar when ho spoke of
the extension of business Instead of
votes. President McKlnley said:
Much profitable trade Is tlll unenjojed
by our people because of their present In
sufficient fucllltes for reaching deslrab'e
markets Much of it is lost because or a
luck of Information and ignorance of
tho conditions and needs of others. Wo
must know Just what other people want
bofore wo can supply their wants. Wo
must know exactly how to reath them
with least epense If we would enter Into
the most advantageous business rela
tions with them. The ship requires the
shipper; but the shipper must have tho
assured promise that his goods will have
a sale when they reach their destination.
It Is a good rule If buye-is will not eoiiiu
to us, for us to go to them. It Is our dutj
to make Amorican enterprise and indus
trial ambition, as well us achleveinunt,
terms of respect und praise, not onlj at
home, but among the family ot nations
the world over.
FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Then ho ente-ud upon thu fliium.-l.il
question, saying:
There Is another duty resting upon the
national government to coin money und
regulate the vultio thereof. This duty re
quires that our government shull regu
late the value of its money by the high
est standards of commercial honesty and
national honor. The money of the United
HtateH Is nnd must forever be unques
tioned and unassailable. If doubts ie
main, they must bo removed. If weuk
places are d'scovered, they must be
strengthened, Nothing should ever tempt
us nothing ever will tempt us to scale
down tho sacred debt of the nation
through n legal technicality. Whatever
may be the language of thu contract, tho
United States will discharge ull of its
obligations In the currency recognized as
tho best throughout tho civilized world
nt the time of payment. Nor will wo over
consent that tho wages ot lubor or its
frugal savings shall bo sealed down, ry
permitting payment lu dollars of less
vuluo than tho dollars accepted us tho
best in every enlightened nation of tho
curth.
Under existing conditions our citizens
cannot be excused if thoy do not redouble
their efforts to secure such financial leg
islation as will place their honorable In
tentions bc)ond dispute. All those who
represent, us you do, tho great conser
vative but progressive business Interests
of the country, owe It not only to them
selves, but to thu people, to Insist upon
the settlcinunt of this great question now,
or else to fuce tho alternative that It
must be again submitted for arbltrutlen
at the polls. This is our plain duty to
more than seven million voters who fif
teen months ago won a great political
battle on the Issue, among others, that
tho Unitt d States government would not
permit a doubt to exist unywhera con
cerning tho stubllity and Integrity of its
currency or the Inviolability of its obli
gations of eveiy kind. That Is my Inter
pretation of that victory. Whatever ef
foit, therefore, is lequlred to make the
settlement of this vital question clear aiv
conclusive for ull time, we ate bound In
good conscience to undertake und If pos
sible realize. That is our commission
our present charter from the people.
It will not suflice for citizens nowadays
to say simply that they aie In favor ot
sound mone. That Is not enough. Thu
people's ;i ipose must be given tho vital
ity of public law Better an honest ef
foit with falluic. than tho uvuldlug of
so plain und tonimundlng u dutv.
DIFFICULTIES OF REFORM.
The dllllcultles In the path of u satis
factory letorm are. It must be admitted,
nilthe-r few In number nor slight lu de
gree, but progress c urn, ot full to be mmlti
with a fair and thtnotish trial. An hon
est attempt will be the best proof of sln-t-cilty
of put pi su Dirulon canno
liurt. It will on! help the- cause. Let
us have full and tree discussion. We are
the lust to avoid or evade it Intelligent
discussion will sliengthen the Indllter-t-nt
and eneouiage the friends ol a stable
svstem of finance.
Half hcartcdncss nevei won u battle.
Nations and parties without abiding prin
ciples and stern resolution to enforce
them, even It It costs u country's struggle-
to do so and temporal y sacilllci-, are
never In the highest dtgree siitcesstul
leaders In the pi ogress of mankind l-or
us to attempt nothing In the face of the
pmvalent fallacies and the constant ef
fort to spread them Is to lose valuable
ground already won and practically to
weaken the forces of sound monej for
thtlr battles of the futuie.
The financial plank of the St. Louis
platform Is still as commanding up n
Republicans und those who served with
them In the last (ntnpalgti us on the dav
it was adopted and promulgated. Ilapp'ly
the tariff part of the platform hus al
ready been engrafted Into public- statute.
But that other plunk, not already bullded
Into our constitution 1 1 of binding force
upon us all. What Is It
The president quoted the financial
plank and said:
This is In reality a comma ud from the
people who gave the ue'mlnlstraton to tho
patty now In power and who nre still
anIousl.v waiting foi the eecutlon of
their free und omnipotent will by those
of us who hold commissions from that
supiemi trlbui ul.
I have tonight spoken In a somewhat
seilous strain because I believe It Is due
to the meml crs of this association and
to the conditions under which this as
semblage hus met. The conferences and
systematic efforts of such n body of men
as this are capable of lnllnlto good to
the respective communities In which tho
members live nnd to the nation at large.
TRYING CONDITIONS.
The countiy Is now merging from try
ing conditions. It Is onlv just beginning
to ret-over fiom the depression in certain
llius of business long continued and al
I together unpaiallt led. Progiess, there-
tore, will nututall) bo slow, but let us
i not be Impatient. Rather let us exer
cise a Just patience und which In tlmo
I will surely bring Its own high reward.
I 1 have no fear for the future of our be
I loved country. While I discern In 'ts
present condition the necessity that ul
wavs exists for the faithful ucvotlon of
Its citizens, tho history of Its past Is as
j suranre to mo that this will be as It ul
I wavs has been through every struggle
nnd emetgency, still onward nnd up
i ward. It has never suffered from any
trial or been unequal to uny test. Found
ed upon right principles, we have noth
I lug to fear from the vicissitudes which
1 may lio across our pathway. The nation
founded by the fathers upon principles
of vlitue. tducatlon, freedom and human
rights, moulded by the great discus
sions which established Its sovereignty,
tried In tho crucible of civil war. Its In
tegilty continued by the results of re
construction with it union stronger and
better than ever before, standa today not
upon shifting sands but upon Immovable
foundations. Let us resolve by our laws
nnd by our administration of them to
maintain tho rights of the citizen, to
cement the union by still closer bonds,
to exnlt th standaids of American civ II
zation, encourage the promotion of thrift,
Industry und economy and the homely
virtues which have ennobled our people.
uphoU tha stability of our cmrency and
crdlt nnd Illustrate the purity of oui
national and municipal government: and
then though the rain descends und floods
come und tho winds blow, the nation will
stand, for It is founded upon a lock,

Philadelphia, Jan. 27. Harvey K.
Nowltt, the "nnti-Mnrtln" candidate
for lecelver of taxes, tonight announc
ed his withdrawal. Since the recent
Republican convention at which the
names of William J. Roney, the lecog
nized candidate ot the Martin faction
of the puity, and Mr. Nevvltt vvete pte-'sentc-d
for the nomination and which!
resulted in Mr. Roney being declaied
the regular nominee-, It was believed
that Mr. Nowltt would remain In the
field as an independent candidate.
Within the past week, however, it be
gan to be rumored that he would with
draw. On the last day for filing nomi
nation puper3, the number of signers
lequlied by law filed with the city
i-onnnlsslonetrt Mr. NowItt'H name- as
a candidate under the title of the nntl
Mattln pinty. Within the past two
days loports of his contemplated wlth
diawal weie moro persistently circu
lated. It was no surprise therefore
when Mr. Nevvltt tonight made public
the following letter:
To the Republican otcis ot Phila
delphia After careful consideration 1 have
decided not to be n candidate for the
office of receiver of taxes. 1 was a
candidate before the Itepublle-au pii
rmirtes, my fi lends were faithful,
and J have reason to believe Hut the
people approved my candidacy. I was
unsuccessful before the convention
because of facts with which the pub
lic are fully acquainted, but In view
of the avowed determination of the
Democratic party to take advantage

Ncurchliig tor lllm.
Chicago, Jan. 27. Edwatd OhetnstUli,
heir to one million lloilns ($400,000) lu
Budapest, In Hungary, and for whom
the- police have been searching, lies In
a paupet's grave In the Pottets' field.
While agents and lawyeis were search
ing the world over for one of the
heirs to the millions of Budapest's
gieatest banker, the object ot their
quest occupied a maniac's cell at lh
county asylum here. Ohelnstieh died
under his rlglu name but with a pau
pet's nutnopi- oppclte it on the books
of the asylum.
A letlei was Motived estt-lday by
Clilf ot Defectives Collenn, request
ing him to look for Ohelnstieh. The.
lettff came liom Budapest and said
that a fortune awaited Ohelnstieh, his
father having tiled recently Today
Attorney N. J. Waldman called at de
tective hendquartels and told the btory
of Ohelnstlch's fate.
According to Waldman, w ho t-lnlnis
to be an old schoolmate of Ohelnstieh,
the latter died u maniac's death, the
result of his wife's alleged Infidelity.
Mrs. Edward Ohelnstieh was consid
ered one of the most beautiful women
In Austro-Hungaiy when she man led
the son of the banker. She reigned I he
belle of society In thit city until ru
mors of her infidelity became current.
She is now, says Waldman, living us
the w lfe of a Trench nobleman, an offi
cer In the French army. When young
Ohelnstieh learned tho state of affalis
he rarted fiom his wife and shortly
after came to America, arriving In
New York In October, 1SU6. He secured
emploment with A. It. Hoorner. a New
York bond broker, and came to Chicago
as the latter's agent Ohelnstlch's pe
culiar actions attwiotoj considerable
attention at the Great Northern hotel,
whore he waa stopping and he- was
finally arrested and sent to the house
of correction on a charge of disorderly
conduct. Shortly after Ohelnstieh was
discharged he wns a-jain arrested and
this time sent to the detention hospi
tal. On Mny 20. 18 17. ho was declared
Insane and committed to Dunning. He
larely could be prevailed upon to eat
and on November 2S he died. By a
strange coincidence Ohelnstlch's fath
er died tha tiny his son was commit
ted to the asylum. At the time of his
commitment Ohelnstieh is said to have
corresponded leculnrly with ills rela
tives but his letters suddenly ceased
and all trace of him was lost until te
cently. Oheiastlch, sr., was the owner of the
laigest bank in Budapest and vas
vvoith IS.OOO.OOO lloilns when in- died.
In his will he left 10)1.000 florins t
