If this true he said, the profits accruing to the sugar trust from this investment, on account of the senate schedule, will be at least $40,000,00. "It Is a great bat tle,'.' said Wilson, warmly, "between the Arneriean people and the sugar trust. J is a battle In which the trust has tnKbn the people by the throat, and It will .never end until we throw off its grip." There was enthusiastic applause at this. He proceeded to state that the house conferrees had been willing to concede almost everything except those vital items, Iron and coal, and the sen ate conferrees had also seemed willing to concede much, but apparently were dominated by a knowledge that if they conceded what the representatives de manded, the bill could not pass, and the agreement, would be useless. Wil son talked Just one hour. Montgomery, the Champion Company has already paid some $2,000,000 out In dividends, which largely came from disputed ore. REED'S LAST FLING. He Scores the Democratic Members of the House Conference Committee. Washington, August 13. In the course of his speech in the house today Ex- Speaker Reed said: I am somewhat reluctant to ad dress the house, but my feelings are divided between two emotions," began Reed. "One is an emotion of regret for the Democratic party and its position, ana me other is a feeling of regret for the country and its position. As far as tne gentleman from West Virginia 1b concerned and his compatriots, there Is not the slightest necessity for my commenting on the difference of this scene of sorrow and the procession which carried him out of this house.

He spoke of the critical condition and ap. parent need of accepting the senate bill, and If need be, to Introduce sep arate bills for free sugar. Iron and cool. He said It was the "senate bill or nothing." He offered a resolution In structing the house conferrees to re- ceae rrom a disagreement, and the ways and means committee to bring In separate free sugar. Iron and coal bills. A burst of applause greetad the reading or the resolution, but a half dozen 'rate Democrats were on their feet demand ing recognition, prominent among them being Bourk Cochran, of New York. Owing to the lateneSB of the hour, the rule adopted limiting further speeches to five minutes was enforced. Then ment of his views on the tariff situa tion:, lVv ... ... "I cannot sec how wc fnlled to do r.nythlng we could to bring about a better rrauH. When I h:ve done the best, according to my capacity and Judgment, I must fall back on the con sciousness of duty done. The dlfflcul '.y, which the country must recognize, is that on the tariff question, wo aid not have a Democratic senate, and whatever had been gained has been wvefted from the protective body. I h-iv been willing to take even the nest derpcrate chances, that gave the lci-e'i hope of sncceps In getting rid of the most objectionable senate amend ments, nnd would have fought to the 4"th of Mniyh If I had hnd any ground to stand on. nnd any following to sus tain .me. We have been confronted by the senate with dosed ranks, while we have had divisions from the beginning that have been fomented from within the senate, and the grow ing Impatience of members to get back to their districts with nnythlng that might be called a tariff bill, had made them unwilling to stay until the prom ise could be given of assured and prob able victory. We could not honestly give such a promise, and a man cannot continue battle with his army ready nnd eager to break away." CTCLONE IN OHIO. Geneva, Ohio, August 13.

" i"cu u- ment. between . the Chinese Pel Tang juurnea. demanded tho. previous question, but Rood rose to a. point- of -order,' and Jlhc battle was on. ' Reed's point of oide was that tho tariff bill wan not In po- nesslon' of the hoUBe, and that, there' fore, the action proposed in the report could not be taken. He maintained that In case of an agreement of congress on the bill, either committee could act on the report, but in case of ft disagree ment the bill went back to the body first reauesting a conference. The bill could not be In possession of both houses at the same time, neither could both houses act except on the papers before It. The papers could, not be In possession of both houseB at the Mine time. It was a parliamentary, as well as a physical fact that papers could only be In one place at ono time. The houss was now proposing to grab the senate bill before it had been repudlat ed by that body, and swallow Its nau seous meat. Such a sicctacie, he de clared, had never: before been witness ed. "I da not expect my argument to have any effect," said Reed, in couclu slon, addressing the Democratic side, "but you are like heathens who have listened to Christian missionaries. You have no chance of redemption. The speaker over-ruled tho point of order. The previous question was then ordered without division. Catehlngs did not desire to debate the rule, and Reed took the floor and made a very sarcastic speech. "You are going to give tho country free sugar," said he, In his most Iron ical vein, amid bIiouM of Republican laughter, "In your minds." he added, and REPORT NOT CONFIRMED. BIG MINING SUIT. ' Str.

You are going to be bold and manly aa you have been in this back down, without refer ence to tha committee that stands be tween you and tho noble purpoee that thrills you." The question then being put on agree ing to the resolution, Reed demnnded a division. The entire Democratic side rovi en masse, but whpn the negative vote was called for, the Republicans sat calmly in their seats, hoping to break the quorum. When tho speaker announced the vote, 1S8' to 33, twelve more than a quorum, the Republicans were somewhat disconcerted.' Reed, however, quickly demanded the ayes and! nays. Before the clerk 'began calling the roll, Wilson, of Washing, ton, brought down a round of applause by Innocently asking the speaker if It would bo In order before the roll was called to have the president's loitpp again read. The speaker rapped him to order with his gavel, and the roll call proceeded. The house order was adopted by 176 to 97, not voting, 11. Among the Democrats voting in the negative were Davey, Robertson, (La.) Covert, Price, Gorman, and Warner. Kilgore answered present but did not vote. In other respects, the vote was strictly on party lines. - Upon the announcement of the vote. Chairman' Wilson immediately submit ted in writing the motion provided for. In the order adopted. Wilson then took tho floor. He spoke calmly, but eloquently, the Democrats crowding about him and listening In tently to his every word. Wilson spoke but ten minutes at tho opening of the debate. He then reserved the balance of hlu time, and Reed, leader of the op. position, took' the floor. He aroused his followers to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Burke Cochran, Democrat . of New York, was given the closest at J tention by the expectant" galleries, and was at times enthusiastically ap plauded from either side of the cham ber as his sledge hammer blows wore dealt at the McKlnley law. or the sen- ato bill. Cochran was deeply In earnest and his protest against the consumma tion of the tariff legislation recalled his famous speech of protest at the Chicago convention. Speaker Crisp waa recognized amid much applause, and spoke for ten min utes. In concluding the debate, Wilson said this was not a time for Democratic enthusiasm, It was the plain Democratic duty, but If tho Democratic party was. to live, if it did live, It would not lay dow.i lta weapons till It had made it im possible In this country to lay burdens uu imc L-mna i our ciuzons ror the en richment of another. Wilson then dit manded a vote on tho resolution. Yeas and nays were then ordered. The Dem ocrats who voted against the motion . were: Cochran, New York; Covert, New Jersey; Davey, Louisiana; Dun phy, New York; Everett, Massachu setts; Gorman, Michigan; Ilendrlx, New York; Johnson, Ohio; Meyers and Price, Louisiana; Tarsney, MIbsouH, and War- ,.. nur,, New York.1 The Populists voted for the motion. j Just before the announcement, Pence stated that If his colleagues, Simpson, McKelghan, and Boen, who were sick, had been present, they would have vot ed ayo. Wilson then Immediately arose and offered the first of the separate free Hat bills. In accordance with the resolution adopted by the caucus. It provided for free commission, on Its passage, of bituminous coal, slack and coke. The question recurred on the paasago of tho bill. The vote by tellers showed 73 for, and 47 against. Reed raised a point of no quorum, and Wil son, Democrat, demanded a yea and nny voto. The free coal bill was passed, yeas 1C0, nays 104. Twenty-one Democrats voted against the bill. Wilson then stated that he was di rected by the Democratic caucus to present a bill placing Iron oro on the . free list. The bill passed. Wilson next presented a bill for free barbed wire. Reed asked Wilson what the bprbed wire rate was ln the Wilson bill, and and the answer being 35 per cent, Reed spoke with sarcasm on the sudden transformations ln the tariff. Wilson replied with spirit, that he would not answer Reed's scoldings. He would say the work of reform would never cease until the hold of monopoly was taken from tho American people. "I am glad to have brought you to the surface and secured an admission," suld Reed, "and knowing what you will do, the American pcoplo will never trust you again." The vote to place barbed wire on the free Hut was, yeas, 187; nays, 84. Af?or tho sugar bill had beer re ported, Robertson, of Louisiana, offered an amendment, reducing the bounty on stitfar 1-8 yearly from July 1, 1855, to July 1, 1901. Yeas and nays were then ordered, the Republicans joining with the Democrats in voting for free sugar. It raaed, 27B to 11. This was tlio largest affirmative and nny vote ever cast in the house. At I0:2i.- the house adjourned till Wednes day. NATIONAL BANK FAILURE. st HI I Wichita, Kan., August 13. The Wlchi- ta National Bank failed this morning. Highest of all in Leavening rowcr.Latcst U.
