WASHINGTON.
THE APPLICATION OF GAG IN THE
SENATE.
Mr.. Hoars Resoiution-A Denial from
Senator sherman-Test of an Adver-
Using Dodge Proceedings of Both
Houses of Congress.

| Senator sherman-Test of an Adyer-
Houses of Congress.
| WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. 9.- Special.
Senator Ioar to-day introduced resolu-
ton looking to the application Of gag
rule, which was referred to the Committee
on Rules. IIOar has become sourcd. lie il
bitter against everybody, ,'and is in frame Of
mind to do desperate deeds. lie would even
diet the people of Massachusetts, on Goldfish.
But Mr.. lloar has not explained how he
will obtain the adoption OF his gag rule,
even should it be fayorably reported, which
is doubtful. There is no existing method Of
cutting off debate. and the Democrats
could, if they saw fit, debate the gag rule
until next December.
| IL is plain that the advocates OF such a
| rule only want it to apply TO the present
emergency; and it is equally plain that
they cannot gain any time or make any
headway by pressing it, in view OF the de-
| termination of the Democrats To employ
every possible means to defeat the Force
bill, and everything tending to assist It's
passage.
| JUDGE WM. q. RILEY.
| Seaator sherman denies the report pub
| lished in a local paper to-day 10 the elect
| that he was opposing the confirmation OF
Judge William G.. Riley, Of Accomac cOun-
| ", for a consulship in Venezuela. senator
sherman SAYS he has not delayed acton
upon the nomination, and instead Oi OPP
posing Judge Riley, he says be wants to see
| him confirmed. and will do all he can to
| BRING that about.
| PHASE OF ADVERTIsEMENr.
The Department Of Justice has rendered
a decision in case referred 10 il by the
chief Of the secret service, which j. of IN
terest 10 business men generally. The facts
are rs follows:
! 4 short time ago the War Department
| bought OF a typewriter company seventy
live of their machines. In payment therefor
the Department issued to the company
draft for $780, upon the assistant treasurer

Of the company. In pursuance OF II ne
had a silver print of the 4rait. made intend

an unpleasant experience with the NONcrn-
ment in making "A fac simile Of postage

To consult with The secret service chief be-
fore proceeding further.
This was done. The chief referred the
matter 10 the Department of Justice. Inc

TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
The Senate continued the discussion Of the
Tariff bill Senators Vance, Iurple, ana
| Daniel making speeches against the Dlll ah
general. Senators Vance and Daniel alsO
spoke against the proposed Increase ol dutN
ON cotton ties the pending paragraph Wheh
the senate met this morning. Mr. builers

| same as at present was donated, as well IL
an amendment offered by Mr. McPhearson,t
make the duty on all hoops for barrels, nay
commercial goods. and cotton ties 30 per
| cent. advalorem.
Mr.. Daniel. in his speech, said the pro-
| nosed increase on cOttOn-ties was charac-
| ieristic of the relentless war which the Re
publican party was making upon the asr RI
| cultural industries Of the country. II ana

| ignorant and 10 disguise the false intention

promises. The bill proposed to triple ihe
| duty on cOttOn-ties to take the duty on
sugar, and to reduce the duty on rice
thus attacking three of the sFea,
industries of the South, whlie IL alleinp'eu

creased duties on barley, oats, rye and

was i'm the bill protection wherever IL would
not protect. and there was no WOlecllch
wherever il would. In the bill the kepubIl-
han Marty WAS for free trade in nearly every
thing that would injure the farmers OIL lhe
south. Mr.. Vance ridiculcd the CLAIM that
the farmer derived any beneht from lne
tariff. and declared that there was no way III
which thepropOsed increase Ofduty on cotton
tie, could be looked at that was deiensiple.
