1 SENATE.
; Washikqton, Aug. 11. To day's pro
ceedings in the Senate were of a most
interesting and exciting character, in
volving as they did the success or defeat
of all the tariff work of the session; and
it was only by the casting vote of the
Vice President that the Democratic party
was saved from a bad repulse, if not a
complete overthrow. jThe day began
with a debate upon the resolution offered
on Friday by Senator Hill instructing
the Senate conferees on the Tariff bill to
report whether the conferees of the two
Houses were likely to agree; and if not
to report a disagreement. j
i Senator Hill modified his resolution by
inserting an additional clause, requiring
the bill to be handed to the Secretary of
the Senate, for such action as the Senate
miight desire to take upon it. The sig
nificance of this clause was, that if the
bill was so delivered to the Senate the
House could not have the chance, which
has been rumored as one of the possibili
ties of the occasion, to agree to all the
Sensite amendments, and thus have the
bill sent to the President without any
further action on the part of the Senate.
The debate for nearly two hours was
directed to that phase of the question.
At last action was precipitated by a mo
tion1 made by Senator Cockrell to pro
ceed to the "consideration of executive
business. '
That motion was justly regarded by
Senator Hill as hostile to nfs proposition,
and he promptly demanded the yeas and
nays. These were taken and were
watched with the most intense interest
and excitement by Senators of all parties
and by an immense crowd of spectators
in the galleries.
I iTbe result was announced by the Vice
President as yeas, 35; nays, 35; and he
promptly gave his vote in the affirmative,
thus defeating the Hill resolution for the,
time being ! It hasnow gone to the calf
endar, whence it can only be taken by a
Majority vote, although a similar resolu
tion may be offered at any time.!
I f Besides the seventy Senators who
voted there were, fourteen paired the
only Senator left J unaccounted for being

jer, wiin ine iwp jjemocrauc senators.
the twp D
Hill and Murphyf voted with the Repub
jhcans. All the bther Democratic Sena
tors remained triie to their party fealty.
The most intense' interest and excitement
prevailed on the floor and in the galleries
as the vote progressed.
: i When a pair was announced between
Senators Irby and WilsonRepublican,
of-. Iowa, Senator Hill appeared to doubt
the defection of his supposed ally and
demanded the authority for pairing him
with a Republican. The authority was
soon forthcoming. Senator Jones,
Democrat, of A rkansas, produced and
read two telegrams which he had re
ceived from Senator Irby, one saying:
"Please arrange a pair for me in favor
of the bill," and the other saying: "Pair
in favor of the free sugar proposition, if
that comes up in the Senate."
The roll call ivas finally completed and
the result figured up. , It was announced
by the Vice President in these words:
j "On agreeing to the motion to proeeed
to the consideration of executive busi
ness the yeas are 33 and the nays are 35.
TheSenate is equally divided. .The Vice
President votes aye." V x
That announcement relieved the ex
treme tension' which had seized upon
Senators ? and spectators. The Vice
President directed the galleries to be
cleared and the doors to be closed, and
thus ended an incident xwhich had
threatened to bring to naught the whole
tariff work of the session. :
j Senator Hill's resolution, after its final
modification, reads as follows: ! ;
i "That the conferees on the part of the
Senate who are now considering the dif
ferences between the two Houses on the
Tariff bill report to the Senate if they are
likely to come to an agreement, and, if
not, to report the principal items bf dis
agreement, delivering said bill to the sec
retary of the Senate for the further ac
tion of the Senate thereon."
i Before going into the tariff matter the
Vice President laid before the Senate the
resolution offered yesterday by Senator
Chandler, for an inquiry into the fairness
of the recent election in Alabama.
j Senator Chandler remarked that the
counting of the votes in Alabama was
not yet finished, and that the senior Sen
ator from that State had not returned to
the city. He, therefore, proposed to ask
tnat his resolution might go over, retain
ing its position. He expressed the hope
that the resolution woiil d be ultimately
agreed to, as he feared that otherwise
there might be two Legislatures, two
Governors and three United States Sen
atoas from Alabama. He believed that
with a close investigation of the question
by- the ft Committee on Privileges and
Elections that a great calamity to the
State of Alabama would be averted.
Senator Pugh said that there had been
no official report of the result of last
Monday's election in any county in Ala
bama. The returns involving membezs
of the Legislature would be sent to the
Legislature next November, and that the
Legislature would have the exclusive
power to deal with the rights of mem
bers to their seats. There was no au
thority in organic or statute law for the
proposed investigation. And, if there
should be an investigation, he was sure
that nothing whatever would be discov
ered to authorize, justify or support it.
Senator Gray objected to Senator
Chandler's request thathis resolution
should lie over and retain its place. Such
an investigation as it proposed would be
a long step in the direction of centrali
zation. '
Senator Chandler thereupon withdrew
the resolution, and immediately after
wards offered it anew; and then, under
the rule, it went over till Monday, thus
getting the better of Senator Gray's ob
jection. !
The request of the House for a con
ference on the bill to prevent inter
ference7 with the collection of State,
county and municipal taxes was agreed
to. .,. !
Senator Butler who has been elec
tioneering in his own State for several
weeks past was again in his seat to-day
and was cordially welcomed back by his
associates. d
The executive session wis brief and
the Senate at 2:10 o'clock adjourned
until Monday.
i HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The session of the House to day was
confined to the consideration of two
items in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill upon which the conferees had found
themselves unable to agree. The first
related to the irrigation and reclamation
of arid lands, and as to this the House
voted to recede from its disagreement to
thaSenate amendment, with an amend
mentof itown. This amendment pro
posed to give to each of the States con
taining these arid lands 1,000,000 acres
upon certain conditions, the chief one
being that $3 per acre should be ex
pended by the States in irrigating the
land9.
The amendment directing the Secre
tary of the Treasury to purchase the
Mahone lot as a site for the Government
printing office at a cost not exceeding
$250,000 was the last remaining item of
disagreement to be acted upon.
Motions were made by Mr. Bretz that
the House recede from its disagreement
to the Senate amendment, with an
amendment to locate the printing office
on what is known as the "Fish Commis
sion reservation" and by Mr. Bankhead,
tapurchase the lot adjoining the present
site and extend the building over it.
VThe discussion, altogether, related to
the Question of eligibility of sites, it being
conceded on all sides that a new build
ing was a necessity, ,
The proposition to purchase the Mahone
lot (the Senate amendment) was defeated
127 to 53. . . ... - !
The proposition to erect the printing
office on the "Fish Commission reserva
tion" was also rejected 105 to 75.
The proposition to purchase ground
adjoining the present site and extend the
building thereon was agreed tol38
to .41. : ' . .
xThe House agreed to a conference ,on
the items-still in controversy. The old
conferees were reappointed,' and the
House at 4:40 o'clock adjourned until
Monday. '
Immediately after the House adjourned
a call for a caucus of Democratic mem
bers for 10 o'clock Monday morning was
read. The call was received with ap
plause from the Democrats, the Republi
cans keeping silent.

Washington, Aug. 11.-
The Common-
wealers who were this
mnminp-
driven
from their camp at the Virginia end of
the Acquaduct bridge by the Virginia
militia, jby order of Governor O'Ferrall,
have found a temporary resting place.
They remained on the, bridge until the
middle jof the afternoon, when they
were marched to the grounds of the old
naval observatory, at the foot of Twenty
second street, Washington. Permission
! to use the grounds was granted by Assis
j tant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo, at
j the solicitation of the District authori
i ties. The Industrials are to remain on
the observatory grounds until Tuesday.
By thai time the District authorities ex
pect to!be able to furnish transportation
West for all who choose to go in that
direction. Some wish to go East, and
with these more trouble is expected.
They fill probably have a final choice of
walking away or going to the work

N The , Western men who remain here are
chiefiyA from the Pacific coast. Trans
portatibn, had previously been offered
them West but they rejected the offer
unlessguaranteed passage across the

they are not so exacting and will prob
ably accept transportation as far as they
can get it. A guard of marines will be

Chicago, Aug. 11. At 1 :20 o'clock
this afternoon Attorney- General Mo
loney appeared in the office of the Cir

petition, covering sixtyxpages of x type
written legal cap paper, for a bill in
equity against the Pullman Palace Car
company, calling upon it to show cause
why it should not be, prohibited from
further doing business under the laws of
the State. The petition sets forth that
it has violated the franchises conferred
upon it by the State in numerous par
ticulars and lays stress upon the fact
that it is conducting a hotel business and
a real estate business at Pullman, with
out warrant of law. The petition is said
to be one of the strongest that has so far
been drawn by the Attorney General in
his crusade against trusts and corpora
tions. - . i

England. i
London, Aug. 11. The British dailies
continue to puKIah vehement denouncia-
tions of the Japanese. Every repulse of
the Japanese in Corea or Corean waters
is welcomed editorially as would be a
triumph of British arms and every Jap
anese success evokes a storm of disap
proval and with appeals to international
law. !
The opinions of the press are
not re-
fleeted by the British public. The aver
age Englishman is either unpartisan or
hopes that Japan, will humble China in,
the present war. Among diplomats and
others; who speak with authority on
Oriental affairs, however, there is a feel
ing of hostility and apprehension to
wards Japan. With few exceptions, the
men who have lived long at Eastern
courts or traveled much in Asiatic coun
tries, while imbued with no love for
China express the belief that Japan's
success in the present struggle would be
bound to lead to trouble between Eng
land and, Russia. The Government's
views are similar. ;
j In official circles the impression is that
the expulsion of the Chinese from Corea
would be followed speedily by the ap
pearance of a Russian fleet in . Corean
waters and, perhaps, of Russian soldiers
04 Corean soil. Russia would not allow
Japan to make herself at home ! in the !
peninsula. She has regarded herself too
long as the natural heir to Corea. At
present she is anxious to see the status
qko maintained and would be greatly
dKpleased with any attempt of China or
Jiqmn to take possession of the land.
! Despite the great cost of the defence at
Vladiyostock and the skilf ullness of the
engineers engaged in the work, that post
is not a satisfactory naval station. The
climate is harsh and wearing and the
roadstead is blocked with ice during the
cold season. Russia knows that only a
little further south, on the Corean coast,
there are several x harbors exactly suited
for her j purpose. Port Lasaref, on
Broughtons bay, is one of them. ; Russia
has had her eyes on it for years. Few Rus
sian officers doubt Port Lasaref would be
a strong base of naval operations in the
Pacific, j It would be an immense service
to Russia in a war with Enland x who,
with such a position in the hands of - the
enemy, would be obliged either to send a
large part of her navy 10 Asiatic waters
or leave; India, Australia and the Straits
settlements open to Russia's naval attack.
juftihis situation lsthe reasonjof Juigland s
present j anxiety and enmity to the Jap
anese cause. She is most eager to pre
vent Japan from giving Russia an excuse
-for interference. She realizes- that Rus
sia might justify such interference quite
plausibly, inasmuch as nobody at St.
Petersburg had the remotest influence in
fomenting the war. The bitterest anti
Japanese writers in London have been
declaring all the week that Japan is al
ready scheming to play Russia and Eng
land against each other. 1 j I
The week's sport at Cowes was, on the
whole, a disappointment. ' The contests
were tame and between the events niany
persons were sulking, oyer private in
juries and semi-private quarrels, j Much
of j the friction was due to the snobbish
conduct of the Royal Yachts Squadron, j
The members of this .organization be
haved themselves m a fashion so gener
ally offensive- to, the rules of good taste!
and sport that everybody is glad to see
the competition moved from the tainted!
xttmosphere of Cowes to the wholesome
airof Ryde. j
I A. D. Clarke, who was blackballed by
the Royal Yacht Squadron because hi$
social standing was not considered satist
factory, has left his yacht, the. Satanita
at Southampton. He has had enough of
the gentlemen who manage yacht race
in Isle of JWight waters, and probabljr
will not race again this season. The
Prince of Wales, who proposed Mif.
Clarke's name is hardly less disgusted.
When he learned that Mr. ClarkV had
been rejected, he lowered the commo
dore's flag on the Britannia and hoisted
the flag of an ordinary member. There
was) some talk of proposing: George
Gould's name for membership, but he
wisely declined to let it be done.' Had
he assented, he would hardly j haf e
escaped Mr. Clarke's fate.
Mr. and Mrs. George Gould entertained
lavishly at their beautiful residence fac
ing Southampton water. They also gajre
occasional receptions on their steam
yacht Atalanta. They are well Hiked,
being uniformly quiet and unaffected.
Mrs. Gould especially expresses keen de
light jwith her sojourn abroad. 'fhe
ne wspapers here which have found
much in Mr. Gould s conduct to criticise
since last Monday, say that he will try
to withhold the Vigilant as much as pos
sible from future races, although likely
to leave her in most of the contests for
which she has been entered. ; Mrs. Gould
Highest of all in Leavening
is represented as feeling keenly the Vigi
lanf s last defeat and urging hef ' hus
band to rest on the laurels won last
Monday, i The sporting editors in Lon
don predict that Mr. Gould will "cook"
excuses so as to exempt his sloop from
several future races. The next race on
the Vigilant's programme will take place
off Ryd-next Tuesday. There is little
doub tat the ugly temper shown at
Cow ;.' ter the. Britannia's defeat on
last. aday has cast a shadow over the
rivalry of the Britannia and the Vigilant
and has left a very disagreeable impres
sion on the American yachtsmen who
noticed it. The neglect of the British
yachtsmen to give the Vigilant
a cheer; ! was explained plausibly
at the time. There was never any cheer
ing or similar vulgarity at Cowes, the
j Americans were told; yet when the
Britannia won on Thursday the gentle
men of the Royal Yachts Squadron gave
the signal which setoff every steam
whistle in the Solent and elicited re
sounding cheers from the crowd on the
esplanade. "

TO ACCEPT T&E SENATE BILL.
Rumors ! that Democratic Senators
Have Assurances that the House
Democratic Caucus ' on Mon
day Will Surrender
Completely.
Washington, Aug. 11. The decision
of the Senate to go into executive session
to-day pending the consideration of the
Hill resolution and the early adjourn
ment was due to the general belief on the
Democratic side of the Senate that the
House! Democratic caucus called for
Monday would result in the acceptance
by the House of the Senate bill, entire
and without change of any kind. This
belief was strengthened by a (personal
I visit made to the Senate wing by
Speaker Crisp just prior to the making
of the motion for an executive session.
!He was closeted in the room of j the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations with a
few Democratic leaders of the Senate,
and it was immediately after this con
ference that Senator Cockrell entered his
executive session motion.
When the Senate adjourned the Dem
ocratic Senators were, as a rule, in far
better spirits than they have been : for
weeks and the "conservative" Senators
and the 1 Democratic members of the
Finance committee were in an especially
amiable frame of mind. The transform
ation was due to the fact that they felt
thW had passed a serious crisis, and this,
feeling was evidently based upon the
assurance received from the House that
the . senate bill would joe ac
cepted jby that body without
change. They did not consider
that all the dangers were passed, but they
stated-" freely that :the best assurance,
wbich it ! was possible to secure 01 a
uture event depending upon so many
nen as there are on the Democratic side
f the House, had 'been i received and
they were very 'hopeful that the bill
jwould receive the endorsement of the
House early next week. This being the
case they concluded that further debate
would pe useless and might complicate
matters and that, therefore, the wisest
course was to put a stop to it.
Immediately after adjournment the
Democratic steering committee went
into session in Senator Cockrell's room
S The President and, his advisers ajso

of the fusion, co-operation, or coalition
which the leaders of the Republicans and
Populists have plannedandas they think,
arraDged. The gentleman in question
said:
"I have serious doubts as to. coafi-
tion. I am satisfied that the rank and
file of the Populists are greatly dis
pleased with the outcome. There is ho
heartiness in their support of its ticket.
They wQe duped into a coalition they
did not intend. It is doubtful 1 whether
the Republicans will endorse the ticket.
They may- endorse it partly, or not at all.
Some strong Republicans say they oppose
endorsement of it. The Democratic out-,
look is fine. If the Republicans and
Populists put up a fusion ticket our ma
jority will be 10,000 to 15,000 on the
judicial ticket. If each party puts up a
ticket our plurality will be 25.000 to
30,000, The Republicans and Populists
will make a sneak and try to capture
