WASHINGTON, May 29.-The meeting
of the senate committee on finance to-
day lasted nearly two hours. The first
thing taken up was the metal schedule,
but the discussion being general, and the
representatives of the two parties work.
ing from opposite points of view, little
progress was made. After stumbling
through a few clauses aud wasting q
great deal of time in the process, Sena-
tors Carlisle and Voorhees, entered pro-
test against going any further in this
manner. 1.-THE majority of the commit
tee, - they said, "have addressed them
selves o the task of constructing a pro-
tectiye tariff. We of the minority be-
lieve any tariff imposed should be de-
signed solely for the raising of revenue.
1t is obvious that we cannot meet upon
any common ground for consideration of
this measure. To attempt it is mere folly:J.
and the time thus spent could be
used to better advantage elsewhere.
Now why not let the Republicans on the
committee hold their meeting apart frop
us and construct their bill unembarrassed
by our presence. AS fast as each sched-
ule is completed the minority may be
called in aud the work accomplished laid
before us. We can then submit our OBJ
ieetions and propose our smendmentss-
on which a vote can be taken and the
deliberations of the majority be allowed
to proceed again. This will be the most
economical and rapid method.
The Republicans agreed that the plan
was good one and it was adopted, with
the understanding that when the deliber-
atoms of the majority are to be suspended
for hearing from the representative of
any industry, the minority shall be noti-
fed and may attend, if they choose. In
the committee this morning Mr.. Eldrioh
suggested that it would be well to decide
whether the committee would agree to
recommend free alcohol in the arts, for
If it was the opinion of the committee
that that should be done, it would
affect the rates on half the items

a series of confessions from both
sides, and of protests against
the continuance of the system which
had swelled to scandalous proportions.
The debate had the effect of bringing to
the front a brand new humorist in the
person of Mr. Edmun6s, the Democratic
from the Sixth district of
Virginia, who entered a comicaI plea in
behalf of a bill of his for postoffice
building at Roanoke, Va, which had
apparently got buried under the heap of
bills, but on whose resurreo-
ton and passage might depend the
length of his stay in congress.
His speech, the first he has delivered
on the floor, aroused roars of laughter
and applause, and made him a marked
man for the rest of this congress.
