To The Editor OF Messenger
The result OF the conference Of the Re
publican Senators at the residence OF
Senator Evarts on Wednesday evening
last, practically defeats the expectations
OF those who had predicted an early ad-
journment of Congress.
The conference was held with the OBJ
jeCt OF deciding the question as to the
course to be pursued by the Senate with
reference to the Tariff, and nearly every
Republican Senator was present and ex-
pressed his views upon the question
After prolonged discus len, it was iih
ally decided that the Finance Committee
should prepare a Tariff bill which should
be reported to the Senate, and that the
bill should be taken up and passed, re-
gardesS Of the length OF time that might
be required. 1t is impossible at this time
to say what the details of the bill will be
further than it is thought that it will
propose a slight reduction i'm the re-
venues, and upon the whole it will be a
protective measure in accordance with
the resolution adopted at the recent
Chicago convention. This programme
will pr0l0ng the session until late in
September and there are predictions by
some that the discussion will be con-
tinued until after The November elec-
tons, though this is hardly probable.
The President has ut last taken short !
vacation. Tie party consisting Of the
President and Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Fol |
som, P0Stmaster-Gencral Dickinson, and |
Colonel and Mrs. Lamont, left the city
on Thursday morning last for New York |
city, from which point they sailed for a |
short catching trip. The party will re-
turn TO Washington in day or two, and |
it is hoped they may be benefited by the
trip.
The list Regiment Of the National |
Guards of New York spent Monday last |
III this City, being en-r0ute for home af-
ter having spent several days in visiting
Bull Run and other battle fields. Most Of
the day WAS spent by the members OF the
command in visiting the various points
of interest. IN the afternoon the ragi-
ment marched dent. They left upon a
special train in the evening for New
York evidently having thoroughly enjoy
ed their Southern trip.
A general warfare has been common
Ccd in Washington against the one horse
ears, or, as they are commonly termed.
"bob-tailcd" street ears. Meeting Of the
citizens have been held at which resolu-
lions cOndemning the further use OF
these ears were passed. and the several
street ear companies that still Use the
One-horSe ears have been notified that
after September 1st. the companies must
either furnish tw0-hOrse ears or provide
conductors for the ears in use. as after
that date 40 fares will be- placed in the
iare-boxes by the passengers. Ii is ex-
pected that this movement will result in
the adoption of tw0-hOrse cars upon all
Of The lines in the city. II.
