NEW YORK electrical corporations have
arrived at the positive conclusion that the only
way in which their wires can be permitted to
execute people, is on the streets in view of the
public. The example is more impressive that
way; which may be a slight compensation for
the liability of the wires to kill the wrong men.

instead of replying that he was
not, IL in reality the responsibility
lay on other shoulders, he virtually as
sented to it by saying. at don't make

as to who the person was. If Mr.. Goode
actually was the author of the article il is
difncult to imagine how he could expect
anything else than what be received. II he
did not write the article. and he has since
claimed that be did not, the public are
equally at loss TO understand why he did
not say so and thereby clear himself of

could not reflect 10 the credit of a man
OF his cloth TO be considered the author eff

WAsHIsGToN CITY, Aug. PIN the
House Henderson of Illinois submitted
the report of the committee on the Senate
amendments TO the river and harbor bill,
recommending non-concurrence and
agreeing 10 the conference asked by the
Senate. Kerr raised point of order that
the amendments must first be considered in
committee of the whole. This point was
sus aimed by the speaker. The House then
went into committee of the whole to con-
sider the measure. Henderson said the
Senate amendments increased the appro-
priation carried by the bill about S., 900 .O00.
1t was this increase which the committee
asked the House to non-concur in. After
concurring in about one-haIf of the Senate
amendments the committee rose.
Mason of Illinois, rising to question of
privilege. said that some days ago resolu-
ton had been adopted alleging that certain
gentlemen had been fraudulently using the
mails to create a sentiment in favor of the
Conger land bill, and calling on the post
Office department for information on the
subject. The resolution had been sent to
the postotiice department with q request
that the papers in regard TO the matter be
transmitted promptly. This had not been
done He had called at the department
several times, and had been informed that
probably the papers would not De sent up
until Saturday night Then they would be
of no use, as the previous question on the

The Lead-Ore Paragraph OF the Tariff
Bill Reached.
WASHINGTON CrTy, Aug 22-The Senate
adopted the resolution presented by Hale
directing that the secretary of the navy
should investigate the alleged defects in the
castings furnished by the Standard Steel
Company, OF Thurlow. Pa, for the navy
department.
The tariff bill was then taken up and dis
cussed al length.
The House bill to amend the act of June
2, 1874, for the relief of settlers on railroad
lands, was taken from the calendar and
passed.
The tariff bill was then again taken up.
As one paragraph after another was taken
up amendments were offered, principally
by Mcpherson, but all were rejected. The
paragraph relating to shotguns was passed
over informally. Aidrich stated that the
finance committee has some modification
of it under consideration. The paragraph
relating to wood screws having been
reached, Carlisle said that was an article
which American manufacturers were SELL
ing abroad lower than they sell at home.
He produced price lists in support of the
statement. This was another illustration,
he said, of the policy adopted by the other
side in allowing drawbacks on exported ar
ticles.
Stewart said the assumption that there
was anything wrong in the sale of Ameri-
can manufactured goods in foreign coun-
tries cheaper than at home arose from want
of information.
No amendments we're agreed to until
paragraph 100 was reached, which was, on
motion of Aldrich, amended so as to read !:
bullion of gold. silver or other metals not
specially provided for, 25 per cent ad va
lorem." Having reached the paragraph as
to lead ore, the Senate adjourned.

WAsHISGTos CITy, Aug. 22.-The caucus
of Repu biican senators last night decided
that the tariff bill, after date to be fixed,
is TO be considered under the five-minute
rule until vote is taken. This date has
not been decided and will be subject to an
arrangement with the Democrats. 1t is
expected the vote viii be reached about
September 5. Then the other measures
named in Senator Quay's resolution will
be taken up. The election bill will come
up the first thing after assembling in De-
center.
The plan by which the Republicans ex-
pect to secure the passage of the election
bill next session is to obtain the written
pledge of q majority of the senator's to be
in attendance early in December and vote
in favor of the change of the rules so as to
permit majority to fix the time for taking
the vote Upon xny measure under consid-
Grafton. This pledge. il is said. will be
signed by all the members of the majority.
Tt is not asserted. however, that the sena-
tors will be in favor of the election bill.
Senator Allen of Washington is one of
the committee of Republicans appointed at
the last conference to draft plan of busi-
ness so that an adjournment may be had
before September. Senator Allen would
like to have the plan include the adoption
of previous question, so that the elec-
tions bill might pass this session, but he
has given up anything of that kind, with
number of other earnest advocates of the
measure
