The senate's Tariff Muddle.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-TSpecial. THE
finance committee of the senate seems to be
proceeding very leisurely in forming tariff
Ii is stated that the bill can hardly be report
ed before the Goth instant There seems to be
considerable disagreement among the republi..
cans OF the senate i'll regard TO the makeup of
the bill, and all today there has been rumor
aiioat that the senate will pass no bill at this
session, but that one will be reported, placed
upon the calendar, and there left until
next session. There object in this is
that during the campaign when manufacturers
complain of any profession of the bill, they
can be quoted, and their influence and votes
secured by the assurance that the bill would
be changed to suit them before being passed
This, in the opinion of many of that party,
Will be the wiSest policy to pursue, but such
leaders as Allison and others are still in favor
of the passage of bill. They do not believe
the manufacturers are so green as to be cap
tured i'll such visible trap.
A CONGRESSAIAN'S MISTAKE.
well known republican congressman from
pennsylvania. recently employed four clerks
to send ont tariff speeches into his district He
gave his chief clerk an order for four hundred
thousand of Mr.. McKinleys speeches and had
one sent to every man in his district and scat
tered throughout the entire state. 1t was
not until the entire number had been mailed
and each had reached its destination that he
learned that his clerk has made mistake and
sent out four hundred thousand of Mr.. McEiil-
Inns speeches. Thus to his utter surprise he
has distributed four hundred thousand demo-
cratic speeches in Pennsylvania, which arc cal
culated to boom the democratic instead of the
republican party.
A MONUMENT to ADAM.
General Spinola, of New York, has given
notice that he would again call up his Brook
lynn monument bill on Monday and his friends
have been endeavoring to persuade Mr.. Kill
gore, of Texas, to absent himself from
the house on that day. This will be
remembered as the bill which
caused such an animated discussion
over Kilgore's objection, in which the Texan
said he could not reply to the gentleman from
New York on account of his age, but if he had
friend who would father his words he would
pronounce him liar. Mr. Kilgore is still firm
in his opposition to the government appropria-
ting money to beautify Brooklyn park under
the disguise Of erecting o monoment to the sol
dlers OF revolutionary fame, and says he will
lnterpose bill to erect monument to Adam
in his Texas district.
WILL IT DE SPEAKER CRISP?
The news of the denomination of Judge
Crisp by reclamation today, although expect
ed, has caused him to be heartily congratulated
by almost every democratic member Of con-
gress, and even many republicans. Judge
Crisp has been pronounced by both parties as
the fairest minded chairman of the election
committee that has graced it in years. This
denomination almost assures to Georgia the
next speakership of the house. 1t is known
that Mr. Carlisle will not be candidate for
the speakership another year, and although
others will make great efforts to get it, Judge
Crisp now leads them all. Were an election
held tomorrow he would get it without ques-
ton of doubt
