SALARY AND CHARTER
Portland's Most Important Meas
ures Before the House.
ONE POSTPONED. OTHER REFERRED
Indefinite Postponement of McGinn's
Bill Chargeable to- Cole and
BnrUe, of 3IuItnonialr.
i
SALEM. Feb. 18. Cole and Burke, sitting-
as republicans from Multnomah coun
ty, made two more efforts tonight to throw
discourtesy upon their own delegation, sim
ilar to their unsuccessful move in the
same line when the Committee of One
Hundred's charter first came up. They
were partly successful. Senator McGinn's
salary bill being: Indefinitely postponed
and Senator Simon's charter bill narrowly
escaping the same fate.
When the house was convened for the
evening session. Cole secured the floor,
and moved that senate bills Nos. 233. 1 and
1D1 be taken up. These were, in the order
named, the Oregon City charter, McGinn'3
salary bill and President Simon's Portland
charter. As soon as the Oregon City char
ter was disposed of, McGinn's bill was
read the first time, and Cole immediately
moved, seconded by Burke, to indefinitely
postpone the bill. Paxton asked that the
bill be accorded the usual practice, and go
to the Multnomah delegation, as it was
strictly local, and affected its county
alone. Cole made the statement that
Multnomah county had already passed 22
out of the S3 bills passed by the house,
and It was time the other counties were
given a show to pass something. Paxton
then took the floor, and delivered a speech
of much, force and earnestness against the
motion to postpone. He said:
"Taxation has reached such z. point in
Multnomah county that last year's total
burden of taxation averaged $23 75 for
every man, woman and infant in the
county, and with all this, $300,000 Is tied
up in our insolvent banks, and cannot be
got at A city of from 63,000 to 75,000
people, it had cost Portland during last
year, for maintenance of its government,
more than $700,000. Half of the taxpayers
stand today in danger of losing their prop
erty unless relief Is afforded. Two-fifths
of the state taxes are paid by Multnomah
county, and unless some means is pro
vided for lessening the burdens of public
expense, the county will not be able to
pay its share of the state taxes. Hundreds
of people were forced to borrow money
last year in order to pay their taxes, and
where the money is to come from to meet
this year's assessments they do not know.
All we ask is that the members of the
delegation be allowed to take this bill
and the charter bill and consider them by
ourselves. It is a matter of simple jus
tice. I speak in behalf of a tax-ridden and
iht-hrrtnprt rnrnlA whn Innlr in -vmi
Uorrelieff fcj?eal3Un 'UteinlerStslcffieMlPl
people of a city as opposed to the agents 1 .
of office-holders, as opposed to the Inter
ests which Have maintained an organized
lobby for two weeks through the corri
dors of this building, seeking to perpetu
ate the emoluments of officeholders as
against the welfare of the people of my
county. Send the bill to us, and let us
settle our differences among ourselves."
Paxton spoke eloquently and with as
much earnestness as he could command.
The house listened with breathless inter
est, and it seemed as if an impression must
be made.- Gallery and lobby had filled up
with a crowd almost as large as that at
tending the noon sessions of the joint as
sembly. Senators Simon and McGinn
stood by a window on the east side of the
hall, and several of the senators were
scattered about the hall. It was one of the
most exciting-scenes of the session. Every
one knew that Cole's motion was a com
plete surprise to the Multnomah delega
tion, and that Paxton, as its chairman,
was wholly without preparation. His sen
tences showed that he was laboring un
der surprise and agitation, and try
ing to compose himself and bring facts
to his use at the same time. But he never
faltered, and when he sat down, after as
earnest and as moving an appeal as the
people of Multnomah county ever had
made for them, there were moments of si
lence as though the opposition would be
shamed into the abandonment of its under
taking. Cole, however, rose again, and said that
the authors" of this and kindred legisla
tion were slow In coming to a realization
of the need of economy. He denounced
the last legislature as the most profligate
and lawless in the appropriation of money,
and said that Paxton had never voted
against any of the appropriations. Smith
of Josephine said he should favor sending
the bill to the delegation in order that it
might appear how the members of it stood
on the question. Yates said a bill never
yet had been indefinitely postponed when
a delegaUon stood ready to receive it for
conference, and such an action would be
in violation of common courtesy and de
cency. Gates said it was clearly right that
the delegation should investigate the bill
before the house passed upon it. Long
was surprised, "he said, at the exhibition
which the members of his delegation had
made on the floor, and he felt like apolo
gizing to the house for it. He was able to
light his battles in the committee-room
and deprecated that things should have
been s-aid on the floor, of the house which
phould have been said only in the committee-room.
The differences should be set
tled by delegations among themselves. At
least an effort should be made to do so be
fore the house passed upon the bill.
The question then went to a vote, the
following voUngr to indefinitely postpone:

THE WHISKY TiRUST CASE
Motion In Contempt) Proceedings
Taken Under AAvIsement.
CHICAGO, Feb. IS. Juage Grosscup to
day heard arguments Injthe case of J. B.
Greenhut, who was cited: to show cause
why he should not bepunished for con
tempt of court, and, wfien counsel had
concluded, took he matter under advise
ment, fixing no date" onjrehich to give his
decision. The attorneyijfor the New York
committee tried to indSce the court to
make President Greenhwtftake the stand,
but he was not asked tc3p so. This morn
ing Edward Walker appeared for Green
hut and presented, on 'his behalf, an an
swer to the citation foriFcontempt, which
was a complete denlaljqf nearly every
thing, sworn to by AlbertjE. Goodhart, of
Now York, in hl3 affidavit presented in
the proceedings to dismiss the case, as
far as S. L. Wormserid C. J. Heln
sheimer were concerneaj
The answer said Greenhut told Goodhart
what he wanted to use tfie names for, and
that he had been appointed one of the re
ceivers, both of which statements are ex

the stand. Mr. Walker said:
"If the court wants to question him we
have no objections."
"Isn't the answer broad enough to cover
the ground?" asked Judge Grosscup.
"We don't think it Is. Mr. Greenhut
admits he never had any sort of authority
from Worniser and Helnsheimer to use
their names," answered Mr. Mayer.
"It must be apparent to your honor that
there was no intention on the part of Mr.
Greenhut to violate any law or commit
any contempt," said Mr. Walker.
"Whatever view the court takes of this
matter depends upon whether the court
believes A. E. Goodhart in his assertion
that he did not know for what purpose
these names were to be used, when they
were asked for by Mr. Greenhut," said the
court.
Ex-Judge Moran thought there were
other reasons why the court should hold
Mr. Greenhut responsible for assuming
to put into the bill parties whose inter
ests were not at stake in the grave ques
tion in this case. The court said, in con
clusion: "Well, I want to hear from a certain
person in New York, whose name I will
not now disclose, before I give a final
decision in this case. I will let the coun
sel know when I am ready to decide it."
The stockholders' subcommittee was in
session all day today. The plan of re
organization was the subject under dis
cussion. If the supreme court declares
the trust is Illegal, a charter will prob
ably be applied for In New Jersey. To
night the committee left for Peoria to
further examine into the affairs of the
trust.
M'QUAID REPRIMANDED.

lilsliop Ireland.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. It was recent
ly stated, on the authority of the New
York Freeman's Journal, that Bishop Mc
Quaid, of Rochester, had been reprimand
ed by Leo XIII for the attack made from
the pulpit of his cathedral on Archbishop
Ireland and that notice of the reprimand
had been conveyed, by the pope's order,
through Cardinal Ledochowskl to Arch
bishop Corrigan, who is Bishop McQuaid'3
metropolitan. It is now ascertained from
the best sources of information that the
Freeman's Journal statement was correct.
Bishop McQuaid has received a severe rep
rimand, and is expected .to make due apol
ogy for his grave breach of ecclesiastical
discipline. The right of Archbishop Ire
land to speak and act as he did in New
York just before the late election is prac

SUM I THE SENATE
A Bold Parlimentary Move by
Friends of White Metal.
JONES' BILL HAS RIGHT OF WHY
Notice Given That It Will Be Kept
Before the Senate Today Until a
Final Vote Is Secured. .
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. By a bold par
liamentary move the silver men of the
senate, under the leadership of Jones of
Arkansas, forced aside all other pending
business, including appropriation bills,
and, by a vote of SO to 27, made the bill
for the unrestricted coinage of silver un
finished business before the senate. Hav
ing succeeded in this, Jones gave notice
that the sliver bill would be kept before
the senate until a final vote wns secured
before adjournment tomorrow. From the
strength shown by the silver men on the
vote today there was little doubt of Jones'
ability to secure the vote tomorrow, unless
obstructive tactics or a test of physical
endurance are inaugurated, which Is re
garded as unlikely.
The move of the silver men came as the
climax of an exciting day In the senate.
For two hours, at the openinc of the
session, there was a renewal of the attack j
and defense, the charge and counter
charge, concerning the course of the pres
ident and secretary of the treasury in ne
gotiating the recent bond contract with
foreign bankers.
The two notable speeches of the day
were made by Gray of Delaware, whose
relations with the administration are such
that his utterances in defense of the pres
ident and secretary were regarded as reflecting-
the attitude of the executive
branch, and by Sherman of Ohio, whose
financial views are always received with
marked attention. Sherman's criticisms
of the bond contract were none the less
severe because of the calm and dispas
sionate manner in which he set forth
what he termed "its hard and impolitic"
features, and the "excessive" rate of in
terest allowed on 30-year bonds. Sher
man declared that no bonds should be is
sued except to be taken by the people of
the United States, and he asserted the
abundant ability of Americans to furnish
all the gold necessary.
Soon after the senate was called to or
der Stewart's resolution declaring the gov
ernment had no legal authority to buy gold
coin in preference to silver-coin for any
cause whatever, was called up. Stewart
spoke of the humiliating position of the
United States in being held by the throat
by a gold commission which had the
power to coerce and squeeze the country
up to next October, when the contract ex
pired. Gray then took the floor. He expressed
surprise that the senator from Massa-
aaseU3UBodSelfand!otTOthajaofar
gone out of their waynto inoulge In a vio
lent assault upon the executive. The pres
ident had performed the duty incumbent
on him by law. That law was such that
an evasion of It would have been a plain
dereliction of duty. The law made it
necessary to maintain a parity between the
metals by redeeming in either. No sooner
had congress assembled than the president
appealed to congress concerning the finan
cial conditions. A bill was formed on the
lines suggested by that message, and the
house saw fit to reject it. Again the presi
dent applied to congress. Gray read from
the president's message urging patriotic
and unpartisan action to meet the emer
gency. "Does any senator think," Inter
jected Stewart, "that the president has re
established confidence in affairs by hiring
the assistance of a foreign syndicate?"
Gray said he would fully consider that
point later. Proceeding with the president's
message, the senator read the specific
statement that the law did not provide
for bonds payable in gold. At that time
Lodge had not complained of the condi
tions clearly set forth by the president,
but had waited until now to present a
scathing denunciation. "Having presented
the situation to both branches of congress
in appeals almost pathetic in their earn
estness," said Gray, "the president was
left alone to struggle with the condition
and had to meet it." The senator told of
the tremendous drains of gold from the
treasury, running up to 57.CC0.000 in one
week shortly before the contract was
made, and from December 1 to the time
the contract was made 517,000,000 was with
drawn, and only half exported, showing
that the other half had been hoarded at
home.
"Has the senator lost sight of the fact,"
asked Wolcott, "that the secretary of the
treasury has reported to us he had used
5105,000,000 or more gold for current ex
penses?" This did not divert Gray from his line of
argument as to the gold withdrawn for ex
port and for hoarding at home.
"Right here I want to ask," said Peffer,
"is there any law compelling the secretary
to pay demand notes in gold instead of in
silver?"
"I have not said there was any such
law," replied Gray. "I know of no such
law. But the obligation to maintain the
parity between the metals was such that
It was absolutely Incumbent to treat these
metals equally."
Hill rose to say that the question of Wol
cott should not go unanswered. The sec
retary of the treasury had not reported to
the senate, said Hill, that he used $103,
000,000 of the sold for current expenses.
Teller wanted to read the secretary's re
port, but Gray would not yield. Gray then
urged the support of the Hill resolution for
paying in the best money in use, and Hoar
asked if it were decent that the contract
had been made so as to bring into ques
tion the good faith of the government.
Gray vigorously resented the word "de
cent" as a part of this line of attack on
the president. Hoar modified the query so
as to ask him whether it was "reasonable"
that this course shall be taken, and Gray
declared that the real attacks on the credit
of the country were not from the presi
dent, but from the senators who proclaim
ed their criticisms to the world. The sen
ator closed with much vigor, saying:
"We have been dumb during this grave
emergency. We have left the president to
fight this battle alone for the credit and
honor of the United States, and the people
will not forget that the American congress
deserted the president in the hour of trial."
Sherman said: "The real question is,
Shall this government pay its obligations
in gold or silver coin? I wish to point out
that In every act, every loan, every sale of
bonds, since 1S69, this government has de
manded gold, and now are we to refuse to
pay these obligations In the same coin we
received for them? If this question is fair
ly presented and understood by the people,
no honest American will say we should
pay in other coin than that we received.
To say that such bonds, for which gold
was received, should not be paid in gold is
not honest."
Referring to the recent bond contract,
Sherman said:
"I must say, and I do not like to say it,
or I have the highest personal regard for
the integrity of the president and the sec
retary of the treasury, that this contract
Is most faulty. The contract, while im
provident, will not ruin nor break the
United States. If a reasonable proposition
had been made to our own people, they
would have sent the gold to pay for them.
We have men in New York. Boston, Phila
delphiaand Chicago, who, being applied to,
could convert such bonds into gold at their
full value. We nave no need to look
abroad. I do not intend any personal crit
icism of the president or the secretary of
the treasury. They have made a bad bar
gain, that is all, but, being a bargain, we
must live up to It."
The agricultural appropriation bill was
then passed, after which there was an ef
fort to secure recognition from every side
irom the chair. It was clearly a fight be
tween the sliver bill, the appropriation
bills and the poolinc; bill. Jones of Arkan
sas in charge of the silver bill, succeeded
in securing- recognition, and moved to take
up the silver bill. The effect of this, if
adopted, was to displace the bankruptcy
bill and all other measures, and bring the
silver bill to the front for a struggle and a
vote. Hale moved to adjourn. There was
an aye and no vote, the friends of the sil
ver bill voting against adjournment, and
the motion was defeated by 17 to 35. This
was a signal victory for the silver men.
Gorman then made a move to get the ap
propriation bills ahead of the silver bill.
He urged that the Indian appropriation
bill be taken up. Call having made a mo
tion to that effect, Gorman cited the rule
that a motion to take up an appropriation
bill was specially privileged. The discus
sion was sharp and exciting, showing the
intense interest felt by the senators at the
outcome.
The vice-president held the motion of
Call to be In order. Then an aye and no
vote was taken on his motion to take up
the Indian bill, and thus cut off the silver
bill. The motion was defeated, ayes 26,
noes 30, and the silver men were again vic
torious. The ayes and noes were then tak
en on the direct question of taking up the
silver bill according to Jones' motion, and
the silver men gained their point. The
vote was as follows:
AYES-30.

Jones then asked that a time be fixed for

full well how they would vote and there
was no need of delay. He asked the
unanimous consent that the vote be fixed

Butler, and it looked as though the bill

May Be Offered as a- Substitute.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. The silver
senators were in conference among them
selves more or less during the day re
garding the advisability "of offering the
Jones unrestricted silver coinage bill as
a substitute for the amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation bill, providing
for 5100,000,000 of certificates of indebted
ness, but have not yet decided whether
they will pursue this course or attempt
to get up the Jones bill as an independent
measure.
Offered as nn Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. The action of
the senate committee on appropriations,
with regard to the payment of sugar
bounty claims for the years 1893-94, doe3
not appear in the report made upon the
sundry civil bill for the reason that it was
agreed in committee that it should be
offered as a matter independent of the
report on the bill by an Individual mem
ber of the committee, if, after seeing
Cullom, it should appear that a majority
of the committee was favorable to the
payment of these claims. Cullom was
absent from the meeting today, and in
his absence the vote of the committee
was a tie on the proposition to pay the
claims for 1893 which had been earned
when the tariff act went Into effect, and
one-half of the bounty for the crop of
1S94. Cullom afterward cast his vote for
the allowance of the claims. The provis
ion for the payment cf the claims will
be put into the sundry civil bill as an
amendment, and it will be moved by some
member of the committee favorable to
the payment of claims as soon as It can
be put in shape It is understood that
the claims for 1893 aggregate 5250,000, and
tne estimates on the crop for 1894 make it
appear that about $3,000,000 will be neces
sary to pay half the bounty for that year.
