The Senate spent an hour in useless de-
bate yesterday, and then adjourned until
Monday next. Discussion was on DELAY
OF business, which has been caused bythc
TACT that the Democrats have felt compell-
Cd TO consider in caucus every measure 10
be proposed, in all its details, before Com
gress was allowed to look upon it. Mr..
Blaine suggested that II the Democrats
were going to spend so much time in eau
cuses and perfect their legislation in that
way, and, Us he understood it, compel
every member of the Democratic majority
TO vote as tho caucuses dictated, they had
better send their bills directly from the
cauCuses to the President, without waiting
for the formality of passing them through
the Senate and House.

The General thinks the contest is between
Taft and Foster, and he will cheerfully
support either or any other good Republi-
can, but his preferences arc for Foster, rs
he believes he has suffered sufficiently for
the party to be rewarded, il possible. The
result OF the contest, he thinks, will be
satisfactory to the,Republicans, but it will
be won only after one Of the hardest and
most bitter fights in the history OF Ohio

TIIB RFFEcrs on FRRE TRADE.

Lord Beaconsiicld acknowledged that
the depression Of the agricultural interest
was unprecedented, but the depression
was expected when protection was abol.
ished. II was estimated that the public
wealth had diminished eighty millions Of
pounds, and the area OF land under cul.
tivation had diminished one million acres.
English industry and commerce, how
ever, kept well on level with
those Of foreign countries. They suffer
only from low prices, the cause oi which
was partly depreciation OF silver. Lord
Beaconsfeld belieyed tile inquiry suggest
ed would be without results, but possibly
an inquiry as to the Chnagc in the value Of
the precious metals aud It's effect ON Eng.
lish industry might hereafter be desirable.
