The Senate appropriation Of $780,.
600 to pay French spoilaiion claims aud
the item of $4,000 for a steam vessel
in Puget Sound were struck out.
The report was later presented to the
Senate and explained by Mr.. Hale. He
said that the Senate conferrees had
yielded the French spollations amend
ment because Of the persistency OF the
House, but the subject would be taken
up at another session.
The report was agreed to.
The conference report on the Tariff
bill was presented and read at length
The Senate Is having a last word 10
say on the Tariff bill. II IS a multiple
word, so 10 speak, and was first
uttered by Mr.. Morgan Apparently
he was prepared to talk for long
time. When he gets through,
or. as a fellow. Senator said, when he
becomes exhausted aud has to quit the
thread of discourse will be taken up by
Mr.. Carlisle Mr. Mcpherson was ex.
pected to speak, but he Is not we'll. II
Is understood that no other Democrat
will speak,
No Republican will, it Is said, speak
at length. Mr.. Aldrich, when he pre-
sentcd the report, said he hoped %
reach vote to-day. That, however. Is
improbable, n not impossible A vote,
however. will be reached tomorrow,
perhaps about . p. m.
The bill will then 90 10 the Presl-
dent. He will sign It, of course, but
the prophecies of the occasion will de.
mand that he at least make pre-
tense OF considering II. He can
keep Il for ten days before
signing It, or he could sign Il the In
slant he receives II. He will probably
pursue the safe middle course, aud,
getting II on Wednesday sign II and
return It to the House, say on Friday.
Congress would then adjourn on
Saturday.
Senator Paddock still insists that he
will vote against the Tariff bill. Should
he DO so he would stand alone, for no
other Republican will join him In
voting nay. Last week nine Re
publican Senators were counted
against It. Among them were those
Senators from the Northwest who want
free binding twlne and fought so hard
for ii that they were nieknamed "high-
binders" They have all yielded ex-
eept Paddock. And even he, swearing
he'll never vote that way, will yet vote
exactly that way.
