Of the conference yesterday the British Am.
bassador accepted the principle OF a collec-
tive protection OF the Sucz Canal. The
French ambassador WIS forced 10 reserve his
opinion owing to the political crisis in Paris.
The other delegates, including the Turkish
representatives, accepted the collective
protection with modification TINT there
should only be provisional supervision
ofthe coast. Lord Duflerin again insisted
on the proclamation OF Arabi Pasha MS
rebel. He pointed out tho rumors
spreading that the Sultan protected Arubi
Pasha and would send troops to drive
out the English. He further called atten.
tiOn TO the fact that the Porte had not vet
given lis adhesion to the. terms of the
identical note. He slid England might
regard the delay as an actual refusal, aud
act accordingly. The Turkish delegates
promised written reply at the next meet

0rR esteemed contemporary, the Clarks.
burr Mrs, admits that Mr.. Hewitt, whom
Mr. Turner has quoted as an authority on
his side OF the tariff discussion in this
paper, does contradict himself. 1t frankly
acknowledges that unfortunately or
fortunately, rs the case may be, Hewitt OF
Is;a is diainetrically opposed to Hewitt Of
lSi0n Very well. Now why should We
take Mr.. Hewitt Of 1882 in preference TO
Nj. Hewitt OF 1870, rs long rs he himself
does no. deny the soundness Of the policy
OF principle laid down by him in 1870. He
may be opposed 10 policy such as he
then contended would benefit the condi.
ton Of tie wage-worker in this country for
reasons satisfactory himself, but not ut war
with the correctness Of the policy. Mr..
Hewitt may now be so rich and all power
lal as manufacturer rs 10 be willing to
lest his ability 10 cope with English manl-
iaCtnreE, provided he can get his labor
cheap enough. lie may be quite willing
TO see those who are not so strong MS him
SELF 60 10 the wall. Our opinion is that
Nr. Hewitt is representative Of the So
called irce-trade sentiment that is creeping
into the ranks OF certain manu-
iactureB in this country who contend
that free trade will solve the labor
question and other difficulties in their
business. They have got to point where
they do not lear foreign SO much rs domes-
tic competition. They see iron mills and
cotton mills springing up in the Soutl, and
the West, and they are acquiring towards
these new industries pretty much the same
ieslng OF jealousy that England is sup.
psed to have long entertained towards
al the manufacturing industries Of this
country. We are looking to this change OF
front as the next possible phase Of the
taHa question. The doctrinaires OF free
ifade abound now in the New England
colleges. Mr.. Hewitt knows that both labor
and capital arc getting more abundant in
this country, and he may think that the
time has now come, by the aid Of cheap
capital and cheap labor, to lift the gates Of
the tariff and stop competition in our. own

The Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill
PnsNcd ON Saturday.

Ehc SnnHry civil Appropriation Bftl
Passed ON Saturday.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-The conferees
on the two hundred amendments TO the
sundry civil bill, respecting which the
House disagreed, worked like galley slaves
from Q o'clock this morning until nearly
the same hour this evening, when they
brought in their report, however, and
dropped exhausted into convenient chairs.
1t w,ss 80 well prepared, although it cut
down the Senate appropriations nearly
Sl,OOO,OOO, it commanded the votes OF a
majority Of both Houses. The session OF
tonight in both ends OF the Capitol were
chiefly for the purpose OF disposing OF this
bill. Therefore, with the exception OF some
uuimportant matters in the House, little
was done or said about my other subject.
Senator Morrill, called up the Tax bill
formally in the Senate this evening, but
when the Sundry Civil bill had been pass.
ed, some time after midnight, the Senate
adjourned until Monday, without reference
to the Tax bill.
The feature Of the conference report on
the Sundry Civil bill, the result OF uure-
mitting labor on the part OF Major Butter
worth, MIR. Beck and the rest OF the con.
ferees, over which most OF the fighting
occurred, was that OF cutting down the
Senate appropriation for the National
Board OF Health $4,000 or 100000 thus
practically circumscribing very greatly it's
functions There was quite II lively dis.
cussion over this provision in each OF the
Houses. In the Senate, Mr.. Harris, OF
Tennessee, who has this matter at
heart, made IN impassioned, and un.
der the circumstances, Il very picturesque
appeal for the National Board OF Health. 1t
was midnight, and the Senate, through
long fasting and unremitting toll, was
wrought up to condition OF nervous
sensibility. The brilliant light threw n
weird atmosphere around the common.
place scene, which was in accord with h1s
eloquent description Of the yellow fever
plague in the South. His picture Of the
appearance Of Memphis at the time Of the
plague in 1878 was so thrilling that il held
the restless Senate spellbound. However,
the National Board Of Health was beaten.
The. bill passed as the conferecs recon-
mended. The House had taken recess,
and from time to time NIL evening, in or.
der to prevent jobs from slipping through,
and WIS ready TO adjourn.
There was nut little general debate ut
either end Of tho Capitol.
Republicans and Democrats OF the Ap.
preparation Committee, though, did what
they could to put their respective parties

TuE Senate did not concur in the House
resolution to adjourn on Saturday last.
Both sides really desire to adjourn, as is
shown by the fact that there is hardly a
quorum, present, very many Of the men,
bers having gone home. But the Demo-
rra,s want to prevent action on the Tax
bill III lhe hope OF making capital in the
canvass, while the Republicans prefer hot
weather at Washington to hot fusilade
on that subject on the stump. Hence
