It - is caiiea terra cotia iamoer i DESPAKING OF CARRYING IT THROUGH. It is evident from "the action of, the Republican Senators and members of the House of Representatives Chat they have about abandoned the hope of -car rying through either of the tariff bills now under discussion. If tney were united upon the measures proposed they would be able to do s6, but the trouble is they are not united, for many ot the Western Representatives are' as firmly opposed to. the iigh . tariff pros gram me, as the majority of the Demo crats arev? While they would be glad to see a tariff revision; which has been so unequivocally demanded by the people, and would like .that the Republican party should have the credit of that re vision, they are not willing to make the sacrifices demanded at the dictates of the manufacturing interests of the country. The whole drift of the dis cussion thus far shows that there is no unity of sentiment on the Issues in volved, and that with but few excep tions the members of both houses, irre spective of party, are moved in their action by personal or local interests. This is where the hitch comes and this is why it is so difficult to get any con siderable number of them to agree upon any one thing. But should they resolve that the ne cessity of the party demand the passage of some sort of a revised tariff bill and a compromise measure be passed it will be such a one as will be . satisfactory to no section of the country and about the first move that will be made when the next Congress meets will be to revise it and the whole work on which the pres ent Congress has spent so much time will have to be gone over again. The House being then largely Democratic there will be even less of protective clauses in it than in the present bills and the Democrats are now willing to support as the best they can do un" der the circumstances with certain modifications. There will be less diffi culty in the passage of a satisfactory tariff bill by the incoming Democratic House and the Republican Senate than there is of passing the present bills in their present shape, because the Senate in many instances has shown a disposi tion to compromise between the high protectionists and the people. In this respect the Senate bill is far more lib eral and goes further in obedience to the popular demand for reduction than the House bill does. It is in the House the lobby is making its big fight, but a fight that has thus far resulted in little, with every indica tion now that in the end it will result in nothing, or the equivalent of nothing even if they should succeed in getting a compromise bill through. PERSONALITIES IN CONGRESS. Personal wordy encounters have be come or sucn common occurrence in Congress that they have almost become a part of the daily proceedings. In this respect the staid and supposed-to-be dignified Senate keeps pace with the House, which not unfrequently shows more of the characteristics of an un controllable mob than of a deliberative body. There are times, of coursejwhen exciting topics are under discussion, and party lines are tightly drawn.when confusion and a mix-up might not be unexpected, but there is neither occa sion nor excuse for these personal en counters, when one gentleman in forms another that he is actuated by demagogical, selfish or corrupt motives, and the accused gentleman responds by informing his accuser that he is a liar, or words to that effect. Then, after much angry talk and much unseemly splatter, there are mutual explanations. expressions of regret, and apologies to the other gentlemen who looked on amused for making donkeys out of themselves in the presence of that aug ust assemblage. The whole business is disgraceful and disgusting. It is estimated that there will be over a million orange trees bearing in Flori da this year. The cultivation of rice in Louisiana affords a livelihood for 50,000 people. and the annual product is worth $3,- 250,000 On Mr Kelley's motion in the House of Representatives to suspend the rules and pass the bill reducing Internal Revenue taxes every member from this state voted yea. Mr Edward Atkinson, in illustrating the advantages reaped from machinery , states that with the spinning-wheel and hand-loom of our fore forefathers it would require 16,000,000 people to weave the cloth now manufactured by 160,000. While the South Carolinians are studiously bent on raising cotton and more of it the Charleston News and Courier is discussing the feasibility of supplying Charleston with fresh beef from Chicago. More grass and corn and less cotton would solve the problem in a more satisfactory way. It seems there is a disposition to sail into the Georgia Agricultural society. The Albany News gently alludes to it as "a pretentious concern under which a number of broken down politicians have been endeavoring for nearly a score of years to retrieve their fortunes and rise into prominence." The clerks in the government depart ments are holding little indignation meetings over the proposition to require them to work nine hours a day instead of eight. They think it a terrible hard ship and yet there are thousands of ca pable men in this country who work ten solid hours a dav for much less wages than these favored clerks get Colonel Ingersoll is still dreaming strange dreams, his latest beine this about intemperance: If the Missis sippi and all its tributaries Were: filled With Pure Whiskv. if thfl hanta nrfir loaf sugar, and all the low grounds cov- ; i eu wiiu mine, mere would De no more arunKenness than there is to-day.

THE SENATE GETS THROUGH WITH THE TARIFF BUSINESS. The House Takes a Rest and Turasits Attention to the Sundry Civil Appro priation Bill. - r: WASHiNGTON.Feb 20. Senate. The committee on the judiciary reported, witn an amendment, tne House bill to extend the time for claimants to file their claims under the provisions of the act re-establishing the court of com- missioners or Alabama claims. The amendment provides that every claim ant nereaiter filing nis claim snail state ana estaousn to tne satisfaction or tne court reasonable cause for his not hav ing presented it within the time fixed by the act of June, 1882, setting forth tne . tacts wnicn occasioned sucn fail ure, and shall further establish, to the satisfaction of the court, that he was at the time of his loss a citizen of the Uni ted States, or had lawfully filed a declaration of nis intention to become such citizen, and that his loss was one of the first class described by said act, and was incurred while her or his prop erty was on a ship sailing under the flag of the United States. The amend ment was agreed to, ana tne oui passea. At the close of the morning business the Senate resumed consideration of the tariff bill. The pending question was on the motion to reconsider the vote by which tne duty on green and colored glass bottles, vials, demijohns, etc, not cut, engraved or painted, and not spec ally provided for, was changed from 30 per. cent advalorem to 1 cents per pound. The motion was agreen to. Tne motion to make duty on bottles of the class described one cent per pound was lost, leaving the rate 30 per cent, ad valorem. Sherman moved to amend the wool and woolen schedule so as to make it read that duty on wools of first-class value whereof at last port or place whence exported to tne united btates, excluding charges, shall be 30 cents per pound or less, 12 cents per pound in stead of 10 as in the bill and making the duty on wools of same class valued above 30 cents per pound 14 cents in stead of 12 cents per pound ; also rais ing tne duty on wools or tne second class, hair of the alpaca goat and other like animals or tne value ot 30 cents per pound or less from ten to twelve cents per pound, and duty on wools of the same class valued above at 30 cents from 12 to 14 cents per pound. Another long debate ensued involv ing the whole range of tariff questions. Finally these amendments were voted upon together and were rejected by the following vote. Aves Brown. Camden.

Morrill and Frye opposed the amend ment, but it was agreed to; ayes 34, noes 18. Brown moved to make the duty on Champagne and other sparkling wines in bottles, holding not more than a quart each, seven dollars per dozeD. Agreed to: ayes 31, noes 21. Tne duty on smaller bottles was fixed in propor tion. A flood of amendments were offered. some of them new but most of them had been rejected or taken out of. the bill in the earlier part of the debate but a few were adopted and those of spec ial rather than general interest. Fi nally tariff portion of the bill which was technically an amendment to the original bill to reduce Internal Reve nue taxation, was agreed to by vote of 37 to 23. At half past 0 the Senate ptS36d tariff bill is amended by a vote 42 to 19. House. The House at 12 o'clock went into committee of the whole, with Kasson, of Iowa, in the chair, on the sundry civil appropriations bill. The general debate was dispensed with and the bill read by paragraph for amend ment. The item appropriating 825,000 for a public building at Oxford, Miss.was, on motion of Manning, of Mississippi, in creased to $50,000. On motion of Scales, of North Caro lina, $25,000 was appropriated for the completion of the court house at Greens boro, N C. On motion of Bisbee, of Florida, an amendment was. agreed to appropria ting $30,000 for continuing the work on the light house at Mosquito Inlet, Florida. The clause appropriating $100,000 in aid of State and local boards of health in preyenting the spread of epidemic diseases having been reached, Man ning, of Mississippi, offered an amend ment providing that the money shall be expended under the supervision of the National Board of Health. Ellis, of Louisiana, in opposing the amendment, expressed bi opinion that the National Board of Health was the most stupendous humbug and fraud ever created, and quoted from its own report to show that it had made a mis expenditure of public money. He could bring nome to that board a deliberate attempt to create rumors of yellow fever in New Orleans. Dunn, of Arkansas, advocated the amendment, and declared that the Lou isiana State Board of Health concealed the existence of pestilence in New Or leans, and was willing to peddle death through the country in order to keep up me commerce or tpe state. Manning defended the National Board of Health from the adverse crit icism, and reflected upon the Louisiana btate Hoard, attributing to it, in a great measure, the yellow fever epidemic of 18 i 8. Pending action the committee rose. The committee on commerce rerortftd the river and harbor bill, and it was re- i errea to committee of the whole. The House then took a recess until 7 :30. The House took up the sundry civil bill. The amendment placine the con trol of the one hundred thousand dollar epidemic fund in the national board of health, was lost. While considering the item appro priating $150,000 for the completion of the Washington monument in reply to a question by Springer, Hiscock stated that the monument would be completed in two years from July 1st next.

Fourteen Children Crushed to Deatk In the Effort to Escape Down the Stairs. New YoKKeb.20.-Connected with the German Catholic 5hareb of tbo Most Holy Redeemer, in - East Fourth street, the Sisters of Charity conduct a school for small children. A short time: previous to the hour for dismissing the pupils, this afternoon, an alarm of fire was raised, which spread about the .rooms. Instantly one of the attaches left the building to notify the fire de partment, and on returning she found the stairs crowded with girls from 4 to 12 years old, piled on one another in a disordered mass, screaming and moan ing piteously. a number of men came to their relief, and while the Sisters of Charity above managed to somewhat quiet those who were not in the mass, the men as quickly as possible proceed ed to extricate the little ones. It was impossible to do this with any great speed, but while the men were : work ing the banisters gave way, making it more easy to remove the children. It was then found that seven children had been crushed to death, and many others were more or less injured. The cause of the alarm was a small fire under a stair case on the third floor. The flames- were extinguished speedily, and all ;whom the Sisters had kept in theirclass rooms were then allowed to go home. The news of the accident spread with lightning like rapidity in the crowded tenement district around the school house, and the police,who were prompt ly called out, bad much difficulty to quiet tne mothers whose children at tended the school. A Chinese laundry, which adjoins the school house, served as a temporary hospital for the injured. The latest reports from the disaster make the number of killed 14.
