WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 81 NJ.
The Senate is still in session on the Tariff bill.
After long discussion and amending the House bill
in various forms, Mr. Adams Of Mississippi offered
+, substitute reducing all duties under the act of
1876, IS per cent This carried by Yeas 26,
Nays "a.
Mr.. Bell then moved reconsideration, and 1t pre-
vailed by one majority.
Subsequently Mr.. Clay renewed Mr.. Adams's
proposition, which was lost by Yeas %, Nays %.
Mr.. Hunter then offered his amendments reduc-
ing the act Of 1916 twenty per cent and it is now
under consideration.
Mr.. Collamer presented an amendment putting
raw and manufactured wool on the same footing
that is, % per cent-whioh was carried. The
probability is that other amendments will be made,
and Hunters substitute finally adopted as amended.
This will likely be rejected by the House, and
Committee of Conference will be appointed to
compromise, unless pending questions absorb the
remaining time of the session.
