ASenatOriaI Tit.
| NEW YORK, April 19.-The Suns WASH
ington special says: A lively tilt between
| Senators Carpenter and Blaine is expected to
occur in the Senate tomorrow, when the
Geneva award bill will again come M for
consideration. Carpenter has the floor for
speech in favor of the insurance companies,
and Blaine is opposed TO Carpenters theories.
OF late much bad feeling las been arc Used
between the two Senators. Blafne is too
unanimous in his manner and speech to please
| Carpenter, who, upon several occasions, has
| ridicuied Blaine for his feeble knowledge of
the law. Blaine pays less atte nlion to the
defercntal courtesy of the Senate than any of
| his associates, and Thurman, Bayard a.ad
| Carpenter have attempted to squelch the Sem
ator from Maine for his alleged impudence.
| This is no easy task, as these gentlemen have
found ont, and the prospective clash betwc Ell
Carpenter and Blaine is looked forward TO
with pleasure.
