Expected Tilt Between blaine aud
Carpenter.
New YORK, April 19tb.-A Sun Washing
ton special says: A lively tilt between SEN
ators Carpenter and Blaine is expected to
occur in the Senate tomorrow, when the bill
! for the distribution of the Geneva award v i'll
agaiu come up for consideration. Carpenter
has the floor for a speech in favor of the in
surance companies. Blaine is opposed to
! Carpenters theories OF late much bad feel
ing has been aroused between the two Sena-
tors. Blaine is too arrogant iu his manner
ard speech to please Carpenter, who upon
several occasions, has ridic1Ied Blaine for his
feeble knowledge of the law. Blaine pays
less attention to the deferent:al old-time
courtesy of the Senate than any of his associ-
ates, and Thurman, Bayard and Carpenter
have attempted to souelch the Senator from
Maine for his alleged impudence. This is DO
easy task, as those gentlemen have found out,
and the prospective clash between Carpenter
and Blaine is looked forward 70 with pleasure.
