 ards Daughter-OEher Matters. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-After the adjourn ment of the Senate this afternoon the Re- publicans held caucus for the purpose of reaching a conclusion upon the pending propositions in reference to action on the tariff bill. It appears that Messrs. Ingalls,. Plumb, Hale Oonger, VanWyck, Miller of California and one or two other Republican Senators object to the passage of the bill as it is being amended and there are indications of division of the Republican vote on the final passage of the bill. The objections are general to high protection. MT. Sherman and some other Republicans favor agreement to all amendments offered by the Democrats and concession to all propositions from what soever source, for the purpose of getting through the bill and laying it with the House before a conference committee at an early day. At the caucus this afternoon this was discussed and other ideas were advanced to facilitate the final passage of bill, but nothing definite was done.
