LAST DAY ON THE TARIFF.
TWO SPEECHES TO WIND UP THR
LONG DEBATE.


The Reciprocity Matter Dealt With
with as Little Debate as Possible
rba DAVIS Proceedings in the Sem
ate.
WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-To-morrow, after
,hroa bours of debate on q side, the tariff
Mill will pass the Senate. The Senate got
,brough with it practically this afternoon,
,,,t for the oratorical finale, which is to be
o,adainteresting according to programme by
,naacbes from Senators Ingalls, and Carlisle.
Tb,ch will be worth waiting for. The pro-
,oodinus to-day were chiefly notable for the
,a7er way In which all discussion was
Dravented. so as to keep Senators Edmunds
aud Evarts from exposing and altering
Senator AldrIch's reciprocity amendment.
The fact is, the republican managers
failing that they could not stand a full and
free discussion of reciprocity, crowded the
,ossibe debate upon it into few hours, 50
IS to practically prevent it all together. If
sneaker Reed does not let the House get at
II il will not have been debated at all in
anv real way, and will go to the President
in a most undigested state.
DETAILS OF THE DEBATE.

WASHINGTON, Sept 9.-In the Senate
to-day the House Dill to extend for two
years the redemption of school farms in
Beaufort county. South Carolina, passed.
The tariff bill was then taken up, the
pending question being on Mr. Gibson's
amendment to reduce tie sugar test from
eighty degrees polariscope to seventy-six
degrees. The amendment was rejected
MIR. Edmunds inquired whether the un-
derstanding made as to voting on amend
ments without debate would prevent q
senator in offering an amendment from stat
ing, not to occupy more than two or three
minutes, its object or prohibit the asking
or answering of question.
The presiding officer, Mr.. Ingalls,, said:
"Unless the chair be otherwise instructed
by the Senate he will hold that the under
standing is that beginning with the con-
sideration of the bill this morning the action
of the Senate will be without debate, and
that the asking or answering of an inquiry
would be debate, and therefore prohibited. !"

ought to be that way, but can bear it as
well as the rest.
