REPUBLICAN SENATOR'S AND THE TARIFF BILL.
WASHINGTON, February 20.-At the Re-
publican senatorial caucus this morning a
pretty general discussion Of the situation
was had and an unusually frank expression
Of opinion INDUCED in. Some OF the
sneakers advised the abandonment OF the
tariff bill on the ground that its further dis
cussion was an utter folly and waste OF
time: that it had been abundantly demon
strated that no tariff measure can possibly be
passed Mt this session, and that each day
seemed to place the Republicans themselves
farther and farther from any possibility OF
an agreement upon the final terms and rates
Of the bill. On the contrary, 1t was urged
that fhe bill had now reached a point
where, by harmony Of purpose and action
on the part OF the Republicans and absti-
nence from further speeches, final vote
could soon be reached; that to abandon
the bin now would be virtual concession
by the Republicans that they could not
agree among themselves, and that the logi-
cal result would be to place the onus OF
responsibility for the failure OF the tariff
revision upon the Republican party. The
vote was finally taken, which resulted by a
LARGE majority in favor Of going on for an
other day with the tariff bill.

A letter is published from Hon. f..
Il. Ware, brother-in-law Of Judge Nc
Comas, recently killed 10y Indians at
Silver City, N NJ, giving an outline
of the situation in the Indian country
and the efforts now being made to re.
cover Charles McComas, the little son
of the Judge, who was captured by In
dams when they killed his parents.
The good officers Of the Governors OF
chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico. have
been secured, and large reward has
been offered and photographs circulat
ed through the entire Indian country.
The whereabouts of the boy is not
known, and but little hope is eDtel :
tanned of his recovery during HOSTILE
ties. Should truce occur he may be
obtained, but should the party in whose
hands he is attacked by our troops or
By the MeXicans no doubt he will be
killed at once. The letter says the
feeling against the Indians among the
people throughout Arizona is very in
tense, and they are strongly opposed
to allowing any Indian reservation to
remain in Arizona.
