WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct 2
There is very little, if any, doubt that the
republican substitute for the Mills tariff bill,
prepared by the senate committee on finance,
ivil be made public and published by the
press of this country within the next twenty
four hours. This morning Senators Harris
and Vance, the democratic members Of the
committee on finance, who represent the
minority at present, received from Senator
Beck, who is at Fortress Monroe, the draft
of the minority report against the republican
tariff bill. Senator Beck requests that in the
event his colleagues on the committee do
not wish to accept his report, that it should
go to the senate as representing his views
with the other reports at the same time the
whole matter is made public. Messrs. Har-
rs and Vance were locked up in committee
room all day going over the manuscript of
Mr.. Beck, and it is not known tonight to
just what extent the views of Mr. Beck will
be used in the preparation Of what will be
the minority report proper. AS stated in
| these dispatches last night the tariff bill and
| majority report which will go with it b ave
| been ready for the public several days, and
only the report to be submitted by the demo-
! Gratis is awaited. Late this afternoon work
was begun upon an abstract of the republi-
| can bill which is to be officially given to the
press tomorrow afternoon. This work re-
| quires great deal of skill, inasmuch as the
| bill is in an almost incomprehensible form.
| The present law must also be consulted
| closely in the compilation of an intelligent
| description of the bill 1t is intended that
| the measure shall be given 10 the public on
| one day, and the majority and minority re-
| ports on the succeeding day, there being too
| much of them all to receive publication on
| one day. Republican members of the COM
| mttec on finance say the debate upon the
| bill will commence the latter part of this or
| first of next week, and that it is to be pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible. There was a
| good deal Of talk among the democrats in
the house, to-day, however, about a
| recess of congress-. The democratic mem
bers of the committee on ways and means
| who are now in the city favor the adoption
| of concurrent resolution within the next
| ten Gays providing for a recess till about the
| middle of November, and it is not improbable
| that before the debate has proceeded in the
| senate on the tariff bill more than week
| that congress will take q recess over the
| election
| POLITICAL OUTRAGE IN VIRGINIA.
| Senator Blair of New Hampshire, author
| Of the Blair educational bill, was in his seat
| in the senate to-day and was subjected to
| many inquiries concerning the incident in
which he figured at Charlottesville, Va,
| yesterday. While Senator Blair was speak
| ing for the republican ticket an infuratcd
| democrat threw rotten eggs at him. Senator
| Blair proposes in his educational bill to give
s., ,OOO, 900 to the education of the poor white
and black people of Virginia. To educate
| these people is to make the state republican,
and there is no man so intensely unpopular
| with the unreconstructed population of that
| state as Senator Blair. During his efforts
to speak in behalf of his educational
bill yesterday he was grossly insulted
1 huh v,p1it -iN tnl tp
do him violence. The senator today refused
to make any comment upon the subject.
| AN INSULT TO FRIENDS OF TIE LATE MIR.
| HENDRICKS.
| There is great deal of indignation among
! the friends in Washington Of the late Vice
| President Hendricks on account of the name
| of that illustrious statesman being left out OF
| the democratic campaign book. While there
| is mention made of all other vice presidents,
| and of many prominent politicians, the name
of this man, the most iilustrous of them all
| and the most revcred of any democrat is
| silent. 1t is generally believed here that the
omission was intentional If it was simply a
| slight, the cut was not less cruel to the
| friends Of MIR. Hendricks
