Until After the Election.


Until After the Election.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-There was hot
discussion in the republican senatorial eau
Gus last night over the three mooted points
in the senate tariff bill--sugar, lumber and
wool
A majority OF those present favored so
per cent. cut in the sugar duties.
Mr.. Plumb protested vigorously, and in
sisted again, as at the Evarts caucus, that if
that was done Kansas ought to have q like
Gu, on lumber and on wire rods.
A majority of those in the caucus favored
making 50-per cent. cut In the lumber
duties, but Mr.. Sawyer of WiScon, Mr..
Stockbridge of Michigan, and others per-
sonally interested, opposed this strenuously.
HOW THEY STOOD.
A majority of the caucus favored keep
ing the wool and wooden duties substantially
as they are, bringing the worsted duty up to
the woolon plane, but Mr. Sherman insisted
that the duties of 1857 ought to be restored
The majority will have their way eventu-
ally, although the sugar cut will probably
be only 40 per cent. But for the time
being the minority have not been whipped
in. AS the majority are desirous to keep
the bill pending just as long as possible,
they are not much troubled by the attitude
of the minority of masterly inactivity.

Somers had fortified his place with earth

were begun he made an offer which the
magistrate advised the landlord to accept
The landlord, however, refused. Two hun

After three hours of useless conflict
an American gentleman offered to pay half
of the rent, but his offer was refused. The
police then resumed the attack, using their
bayonets, but they were compelled to re-

WASHINGTON, Aug 16.-The senate to-

BALLOTS IN woMAN's HANDS.
The Supreme Court of Washington
territory Very Ungallant.

OLYMPIA, w. T., Aug. 16. - The
supreme court of Washington Territory
has decided the law granting suffrage to
women to be unconstitutional. The grounds
for the opinion were based on the fact that
the legislature exceeded its powers granted
by congress. The court took the ground
that the word "citizsn" in the organic law
can mean nothing else than male citizen.
AN APPEAL TO BE TAKEN.
An appeal will be taken to the supreme
court OF the United States.
The peculiarity of the legislation on
woman suffrage in the territory is that it is
the second law passed and the second time
it has been declared unconstitutional. The
original law passed by a large majority in
the legislature. Two years ago an election
was held and women cast votes in all the
counties. Then the supreme court over
ruled it.
SIMILAR FATE.
Again, a few weeks ago the legislature
passed law, and this has met the same
fate.
The territory is the stronghold of the pro-
hibitlon and womans suffrage advocates,
and they will fight the case to the court OF
last resort.

BERLIN, Aug. 16.--The North German
Gazette, assailing the Moscow Gazette for
its invidious comments on the rumor of a
treaty of commerce between Russia and
Germany, declares that the question of
such treaty has never been raised, and
never will be raised.
FREEDOM OF ACTION.
The freedom of action which the Moscow
Gazette urges Russia to maintain against
German commercial encroachments, is Of
the highest Importance to Germanys eco
nomic policy, and hence Germany has no
intention of impairing this liberty by a
commercial agreement with Russia.
EMPEROR WILLIAMS DECREE.
Emperor William in his decree to the
German fleet congratulates it that the men
of-war made their three weeks cruise to
Russia, Sweden and Denmark without any
mishapS, and does not doubt that the ships
will successfully perform their remaining
maneuvers.
A SIGNIFICANT UTTERANCE.
Emperor William attended the unveiling
of the monument erected in memory of the
late Prince Frederick Charles at Frankfort
to-day The emperor was present at a
breakfast given in his honor after the un-
yelling, and gave toast to the Germans.
He SAID that 40 ,000,0 900 of Germans would
rather die than deliver q single stone of
Alsace- Lorraine to France.

to gravitate toward Berlin. Two currents
of opinion prevail in the press. The Nove

they think, still offers the greatest advan-

reiterates and emphasizes the opinion that
Emperor Williams visit to st. Petersburg
