SHERMAN,S ANGER.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Special. 1.-The
New York Herald's Washington correSpon-
dent writes to thatpaper that Senator Sher-
man lays his defeat directly at Governor AL
gers door. He has indubitable proof that that
gentleman, through his lieutenant ut Chicago,
purchased no less than fifty OF the southern
delegates who were pledgedto Sherman. With
these fifty additional votes Sherman might
have led all his opponents with solid vote OF
300 from the outset. He believes, moreover,
that he could have held these forces well IN
hand, and that before many ballots enough
additional strength would have come to him
TO secure the nomination.
Senator Sherman is said to be so angry with
Governor Alger that he is seriously thinking of
making public the proofs OF that gentleman s
corrupt bargain with the southern delegates
in question. 1t is probable, however that he
will be influenced by the advice of his friends,
who are dramatically opposed to this course,
and remain silent until after the election.
Then if he chooses to speak he can doso, with
out endangering the prospects OF the cam
paign.
So far as Governor Foraker is concerned,
Senator Sherman has little te say. The Ohio
governor, in view of all that has been pub
lished about his conduct at Chicago, has
promised to write to Senator Sherman and en-
dcavor, if such a thing be possible, to show
that he remained
LOYAL TO HIS CHIEF
to the last. Senator Sherman thinks that
until the explanation is received judgment
ought to be suspended in Forakers case.
Should it not prove satisfactory, Foraker had
better retire as speedily as possible from polit-
ical life, for, as one OF Mr. Sherman's friends
expressed it today
"The Ohio senator does not say much, but
he has mighty long memory, and he never
forgiveS those who have been unfaithful to
their trusts"
WASHINGTON, Juno 29.-[Special. 1.-The
free list of the Mills tariff bill has been dis
posed of. It's consideration was concluded in
the house this afternoon without an amend
ment having been adopted, save those pre-
viously agreed upon by the ways and means
committee. The free list, however, only occu-
pies the first half dozen of ninety or more
pages, and its consideration by sections is pro-
crossing very slowly-in fact so slowly that
even Mr.. Mills does not think the house will
be able to dispose of it before the first of Au-
gust. This slow progress is causing much
speculation in regard to the adjournment Of
congress, and many members today gave it as
their opinion that even the fifteenth OF Septem
Der would find congress i'll session.
WHAT JUDGE CRISP THINKS.
Judge Crisp said tonight that the time of
adjournment would depend upon circum-
stances. "If the republicans" he said, twill
let us progress rapidly with the bill, We could
adjourn in July, but see no hope of that.
We can hardly finish the BILL tho way matters
are now progressing, before about the first of
August. Then the senate will have to con-
slider it, and the length of time they desire to
consume viii about fix the date Of adjourn
ment. They may refuse to consider it this
session, and then we may adjourn early, but
hardly think this probable. If they consider
it much time will undoubtedly be consumed,
as this is a presidential year and politics will
enter largely in the debate, which will, of
necessity, consume much time. However,
believe it probable that matters
will be arranged in such manner that we
shall be able to adjourn by the middle of Au-
gust or the first Of September, as many men,
bers are anxious to return to their homes,
where they can present the issues of the cam
paign to their people. The issues have never
been squarcy presented before and all are
very anxious to get away. 1 don't believe we
shall be here later than the first of September.
