THE SENATE.
Teetotalers Counted During the De-
bate on the Restaurant Bar.

TeetotaIers Counted During the De-
bate on the Restaurant Bar.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-In the Senate
today the resolution heretofore offered by
Mr.. Plumb. instructing the committee on
rules to issue such orders as will wholly pre-
vent the sale of spirituous, vinous and malt
liquors in the Senate wing of the Capitol
was taken up, The first question being on Mr.
Buffers amendment directing the sergeant
alarms to make daily inspection of the
committee rooms and other apartments.
Mr.. Hawley protested against putting on
record anything SO offensive. The amend
ment was rejected.
The next question was on an amendment
offered by Mr.. Blair to add the words ''and
their use as beverage" Mr.. Blair said the
great evil was the consumption of liquor by
Senators in their committee rooms.
Mr.. Teller said he had no sympathy with
the amendment. 1t was proper thing that
no liquor should be sold in the Capitol but
an attempt to say what Senator should or
should not do in regard to the use Of liquor
seemed to him to be going too far. He had
never tasted a drop of intoxicating liquor in
his life. He thought it might lie assumed
and ought to be assumed that every member
of the body was self respecting gentleman.
Mr.. Sherman concurred in the views ex-
pLOooOQ NY MI lOhCl anu mONCO bhdt shO
resolution be referred to the committee on
rules.
Mr.. Frye favored that motion. His repu-
tation as temperance man would Justify
him in doing so. The newspapers had been
in the habit of saying that the Senator from
New Hampshire. Mr.. Blair, and he himself
were the only teetotallers in the UnitedStates
Senate, but that was not correct There
were within the reach of his voice scores of
Senators who were teetotalers. He could
see one on the Democratic side [laughterl In
rather remarkable [Renewed laughter.]
Mr.. Sherman's motion was agreed to and
the resolution and amendments were re-
ferred to the committee on rules.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
The wood schedule, with the pending
amendments, went over, and the sugar
schedule was also laid aside. The tobacco
schedule provoked an animated discussion.
When the Senate adjourned that portion of
the bill devoted to agricultural products was
| under discussion.

The Boston House of Potter, Lowell
& Co. In Trouble.

BOSTON, August 27.-It was rumored on
the street today that Potter, Lowell & Co.,
bankers, were financially embarrassed.
Friends of the firm claim the embarrassment
is only temporary. The suddenness of the
suspension prevents statements of liabili-
ties and assets at this time. Walter Potter,
a member of the firm, said the firm simply
refused to pay some drafts. Absolute fail
ure is declared impossible because Of the ex-
isting surplus of 100000. 1t is said efforts
are being made to raise from 100000 to
$500, 1000 to tide over the present difficulties.
