A WEEK SrENT IN FIGHTING
Special to the Unzotto
Washington April 10 Still another
day has been frittered away in the House
over the direct tax bill Oae week ago
today the Ilouse took up the coneidera
tica of this bill without the least knowl-
edge on the part of any one that it was
loaded to the muzzle and la at it was des-
tined to bring on a fight which would bs
the talk of the entire country This bill is
the on growth ot the efforts of the Repre-
sentatives cf Colo who while she did
not by any means pay out the largest
amount needs it badly the state treas-
ury being practically empty For s y
eral years past she has had a rep-
resentative at Washington pushing old
war claims against the Uaited States to a
succesetnl Issue In addition to that gen-
tleman who by the way lives In the
best style she has two other gentlemen
here now one of whom Is exCongress
man Anderson who was in the last Con-
gress Should the direct tax bill go
through as nearly everyone thinks it will
a goodly amount will be taken ot the
states share
shareTO
TO PAY HER AGENTS
Nearly all the otner states to whom there
is any amonut of money due under the
provisions of this bill arc in a similar
position I is the presence of this im-
mense lobiy which has given rise
to fo much adverse criticism from those
opp3sed to the bill While there can be-
little question in the rnlrd of anyone in a
position to know yet those wild stories
of wholesale brioery will have an
effect on some The gentlemen sent here
are du y accredited to their state and
make no secret of it whatever and theie is
no reason wbv they should The gal-
leries of the II icse tonight are crowded
to their utmost the ladles having
TURNED ODr EN MitSK
to look down on the area below and view
the antics of the political pigmies filibus-
tering the countrys money away in a-
right which cannot end in anyway that
will reflect credit on those who have
forced it upon the country
Representative Taylor of Ohio said to
nigat 1 know of no conference over
the deadlock and no prospect of Its set-
tlement The settlement of the matter
rests with the Dem cratic party We are
united and will remain as we are The
democratic party is divided
The settlement ot the matter will depend
on the weakening ot one end or the
other
Considerable anger was evidenced by
the members opposed to the bill at the
manner in which Mr Hatch declared the
motion to take a recess lent night passed
The fllllbusterera had come piepired to
Ft ay nil night all dy today and so on
but Mr Hatch who was pnsidlng gavt
no one time to mako an objection but
declared the motion carried Tonight
however the fighters will not be caught
napping and an allnight session is al-
most certain

ABOUT THB DEADLOCK
Washington April 10 Efforts have
been made at intervals all day to have a
Democratic House caucus called tonight
to break the deadlock but the result 1b
still in doubt the state of case la about
as follows Mr Glover yesterday pro-
cured twenty signatures to a cell more
than enough to secure a caucus last night
but was defeated by tho refusal of the
House to take recess on at early hour
The same call has been revived and the
date and time fixed for to night Ottes
and his friends are perfectly willing to
caucus on condition that the call shal con-
tain the names of ell or nearly all of the
Democrats favorable to the direct tax
bill The ref son f jr imposing this condi-
tion is in a desire to bind taut to the cau-
cus decision all of the Democratic friends
of the bill and this desire appears to be
based on tho belief the opponents of the
bill would be in a decided majority on the
caucus Gates says he woula not insist
that the friends of the bill should be
forced by tho caucus to vote agaicst it
They might simply vote to recommit or
lay aside the bill or jjin In a vote to
adjourn and to terminate the apparent
ly Interminable Iecislatlve day of
Wednesday April 4 But ot least tour
Democrats have refused to sign the call
under snch condition holding that they
should follow the programme outlined by
Oatea It would amount to a very trans
parent evasion cf responsibility and that
the bill would be killed jast as surely as
by s direct voto egslnst it Tne opponents
ot the bill statu they will prevent a
caucus from being held under Mr
Glovers existing call by refusing to allow
a recess cf the House at a time suitable
for csucusslng and this Is the situation as
the eighth day of tho battle draws to a
close
THE ELEVENTH CENSUS
Washington April 6 Mr Coxcbair
man of the census committee today

sequent censuses He proposes two

CONDIriOS OF WINTEB GRAIN
Statistical RMnrns to the Dtpartment
agriculture for the past 8eaon
Washington April 10 The April sta-
tistical returns to the Department of Ag-
riculture relative to the condition of
winter grain and of farm animals shews
that the season for seeding was long
three months in some of the southern
states and the appetrance when winter
set in was uneven though the plants
were rooted In the states affected by
summer drouth there was alow germina-
tion in soilsnot well pulverlzsd causing
thin stands in such areas Hence a su-
perficial impression ot the con-
dition was made which onr
trained correspondents sw at once
wls deceptive and that the impairment
ot the status was slight Later rains
improved the prospect In the south the
soil was In good shape anc1 growth gen-
erally good In the middle states the
seeding season was moderately favora-
ble though in some places the soil was
dry In Californiawlthsome exceptions
a very favorable teason for seeding and
germanizUion is reported The drouth
in Oregon delayed thi plant growth
Only partial winter protectlcn
was enjoyed in the northern belt The
variable temperature of March seriously
icjured the plant In the central states of
the west and some loss from winter kill-
ing appears even in Texas On the At-
lantic coast the winter injury was very
slight S3Uth of Maryland the tempera
turo was mild and favorable Tne pres-
ent appearance ot the crop Is quite un-
favorable as the spring is late and the
present growth of late sown Is
comparatively small Favorable spring
weather might make a material improv
ment The average of the present pro-
duction is 82 lower tnan in recent years
excepting only 1883 and 1885 when the
averages were 80 aud 76 respectively The
average of the states of principal pro-
duction are as follows New York 94
Pennsylvania 90 Ohio 68 Michigan 76
Indiana 75 Illinois 74 Missouri 82 Kan-
sas 97 The average of Texas is 88
and of most of the southern states higher
from 87 in Arkansas to 97 in Tennessee
though the area seeded Is small in all
these regions

President K > ssler said tonight to a
Gazktte reporter that the convention
would be a non political affair that its
object was to pltce before the Legisla-
ture tha grievances ot the toiling classes
ot Texas with a demand that relief be
given He gave it as his opinion that the
convention would demand the retirement
of several state officials notably Frank
Lubbock that it would probably indorse
Governor B > ss and work to secure his
election When asked if the convention
would be likely to nominate any ticket
Mr Kessler said the convention woul 1
doubtless recommend the farming and
laboring elements to nominate Legisla-
tive and Senatorial candidates In tneir
respective districts He also thought
tbe convention would Indorse Terrell for

Special to tho Gazette
Washington Aprilll Senator v nce
has just returned from a twoweeks visit
to North Carolina and is greatly plea ° ed
with the political outlook He managed
Jo talk politics with a few Democratic
leaders in his state and reports them all
solid for Cleveland He says they realize
that Cleveland Is the only man in the par-
ty who can be nominated with
any prospect of success and
therefore they are prepared to
stand by him for a second term The
senator says his people have undergone
no material change of mind on the tariff
question Thev are in favor of a reduc-
tion ot the tariff and also a reduction of
the internal revenue They do not
want one without the other The princi-
pal grievance Is against the Internal reve-
nue system and they demand that some
modification in that direction shall be
made

Bostok Mass April 9 A near rela-
tive ot Mr Blaine residing in this city
says the reports about the Maine states
mans ill health are false Mr Blaine
be says is as well as he has been at any-
time In Ave yeard The gentleman who
cive this information thought that Mr
Blaine was still in the presidential race
and would certainly accept the nomina-
tion especially it it came spontaneously
A lady residing at South Eod who is also
a relative of the Blaine family said Mr
Blaine is a very nervous man and
is apt to worty over his health
especially as some public men of
about his own age have passed away < He
was much distressed over the loss of
several of his old political associate dur
log the past year His first question
whenever I me t nlm is Well how
do I look or Do I look 1117

by a
Lsw Passed In Uasstchnsetts
Boston Mass April 6 One ot the
most fanatical laws which has been en-
acted in Massachusetts tor many years
was passed to be engrossed by the House
ot Representatives this afternoon Is is
the so called 1 per cent bill It pro-
hibits the sale of any liquid as a beverage
which contains 1 per cent
or more of alcohol The present
legal limit is 3 per cent The new
law is a direct blow against the
dealers in email bser and many other so
called temperance drinks It prohibits
theisale of lemon soda and ginger ale If
they have been kept long enough to nn
dergo the slightest fermentation to
which they are liable The measure has
been supported and advocated by the
Law and Order League and other tem-
perance organizations bnt It Is sure to
react powerfully against the cause which
Its supporters have at heart It frill
ot course drive from their side
directly into the camp of the liquor deal-
ers the great Interests represented by the
makers of light beverages of all kinds
The bill has already passed the Senate
and it now goes to the Governor The
socalled temperance element now con-
trols the Rpnblican party of the state
and it is very donbtful if Governor Ames
will have backbone enough to veto the
fanatical measure

forelgn re
latlone reported back Mr Rlddelbergeis
resolution offered some days since
amended so as to request the President
it not iccompatable with public interest
to furnish any Information In his posses-
sion relative to the dispute understood to
exist between the government of Vene-
zuela and the government of Great Brlt
ian concerning the boundaries between
Bti lBh Gu ana and Venezusla Adopted
Tne Senate then proceeded to consid-
eration of executive business within
ten minutes th doors were reopened
The Senate then took np the motion to
refer the Pr sllents annual message and
was addressed by Mr Morrill He said
In the wa ot doctrines promulgated in
the message of the president what en-
couragement for the future he askedhad
the farmer guilty of naving made Invest-
ment in sheep husbandry and of hxvlng
labored for years to acquire the knowl-
edge and tklll of good snepherds in the
management of their fl cks What en-
couragement did the message offer
to any new or even old enter
orlses Was there any growing city or
town any nook or crook in the
country which could have any hope of
advancing prosperity upon radical
changes of the tariff as urged by the mes-
sage of the President Wnat new field
cf labor would be opened or wh t old
one show Increased activity RUher
which one amoDg them all would not be
slaughtered with their occupations gone
Where were the many thousands of dis-
charged laborers to go The President
appeared to deprecate discussion of pro-
tection at d free trade and with wocder
lul slmplicltyf forthwith proposed
to recommend absolute free trade
in wool He would by his measure cut
trie jugular of every sheep in the country
and proceed to argue wi h the owners
that they would be better off without
them or that they lost more than they
caincd by protection Deducting the
protective duty Imposed for the benefit
cf American wooi of 10 cents per pound
the lue of Texas wool In New York and
Boston markets would suddenly drop to
4 or 6 cents per pound Neitaer Texas
nor any other state would continue
to raise wool at that price and wool
growing even in tho Lone Star State
with an area greater than that of Ger-
many France Spain or Italy would only
be known as one of the lost arts The
prodigious loss to landed estates from an
abandonment of sheep husbandry was a
problem of d fflcult solution The Dem-
ocratic party out of power solidly pro-
claimed its policy but having thereby
got Into power it prevaricated and un
blushlagly and practically reversed its
platform from end to end It would
now perpetuate the war taxes and
mike the custom house revenues In-
sufficient Had not Virginia North Car-
olina Georgia Tennessee as well as New
York and many other states valid cause
of complaint against the Democratic par-
ty for false pretenses The star of hope
appeared to have been rising in the new
south lighting all her borders with flam-
ing furnaces and decorating her wasted
plains with manufacturing towns and cit-
ies but these bright evidences of better
days if tho antitariff raid should be suc-
cessful wonld immediately sink out of
sight and the fondest hopes of the new
south would disappear forever He de-
clared himself in favor of any reasonable
reduction of public revenues and depre-
cated an attempt to excite panic in finan-
cial affairs because of an expected annual
surplus of 5500000 Mr Morrill spoke
at great length He predicted that
should the Mills bill become a law Amer-
ican industry would be crippled and
formers would have to make many sac-
rifices on the altar ot free trade
The Senate resumed consideration of
the bill to provide for the admission of
the state of Dakota and for the orgaalza
tlonot the territory of North Dakota and
was addressed by Mr Davis The

tained some 600 000 Inhabitants ot which
number about 350000 were in Southern
Dakota Ol tne latter 20000 were
txUnion soldiers who were denied en
franchisement by the country which they
had fought to Save They were today in
all that constituted a state more fully
equipped than many states which were
now persistently denying her admission
as a state Why should not Congress act
at least manly and just in the admission
ot South Dakota Why delay longer that
great act ot national justice The ques-
tion should be stripped of all evasion and
sham and it should be plainly admitted
that the commonwealth of Southern Da-
kota had been denied admission as a state
for the reason that the party in power
with the solid south was determined
not to lose its political ascendancy

had received from the Governor ot Mich-
igan upon the subject
Mr Breckenridge of Kentucky made a

stated no question of privileges as no
charge had been made against the per-
sonal character of the gentleman and the
state of Michigan was not a member ol

M Allen replied that the gentleman
from Kentucky had always been ready to
defend the honor of his state and that he
Allen wished to defend the honor of

credulity upon the face of his caller
Cicejus hastened to add it is a com-
mon mistake of those having small
means to suppoee that a millionaire ol
ways has 50000 or more at instant com-
mand It is only on rare occasions that
most of us see 825000 in currency at one-
time and for two ytars I have never
once had 810000 ot my own on hand
The men of great wealth are as a
rule men ot large business interests We
own blocks elevators ships telegraph
telephone and railroad stocks suburban
tracts and other kinds of property out
none ot these can be converted Into cash
at an hours notice Then again most ot
our real estate Is mortgaged because we
are able to use ready money in such a
manner as to real Z3 more than 6 per-

you learn how large a load ot debt some
very wealthy Buffalo men are carrying It
is usually the second generation of
wealth that buys mortgages government
