THE TARIFF.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June TO-
The republicans of the senate finance
committee met this morning and
further considered the tariff bill.
The wool and silk schedules were
examined and some items agreed to.
NEW sEEG GEANT-AT-AEMs.
The republican senators caucus To-
night for The selection o "a successor
to Col. w. p. Canddy, serseant-dt-
arms OF The senate, who retircs on
the S0th. There are eight candidates

AFTER THE MoRMONs.
/ Senator Edmunds introduced a
bill in The senate providing that all
funds or other prope! ty lately LC-
longing to orin po' session or claimed
by the Corporation of the Church of
Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints shall
be devoted 10 the benefit of the pub
lie common schools in Utah.
THE SILVER ELL.
Mr.. Wilson, of Washington, said
to-day that the bill was not as
whole just what he would have de-
sired, as he voted in caucus to strike
out the bullion redemption clause;
this was defeated and the bill as it
passed was adopted by the caucus.
1t will doubtless be amended in the
senate by changes which will be ad-
vantageous TO the West.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, was ask
ed how he liked the silver bill pass
ed by the house Saturday, when he
replied as follows: "You mean how
do 1 dislike it," lau3 he'd the senator.
"Well, it is by no means what we
wanted and what the western peo-
pie demand. II simply makes
commodity of silver bullion. We
wanted silver COINAGE, and this is
what we got from the house. When
the bill comes over to the senate
side we willp@ssa free coinage bill OF
nothing. We will not favor aRy
compromise measure. In confer.
ence between both houses on the
M tier / am hopeful that the house
will accede to The demand of the
county for silver coinage. We Will
impress upon them very forcibly tie
fact that if we are to have any
silver legislation at all this session
it must be something very nearly
approaching free coinage of sil\ er."
"Wbct would be the effect of the
enactment of the so-called Window
bill into law?" "Why, it simply
provide for the storage of silver
bullion and the issuance OF certili-
cat,3 thereon, without bringing adj
ditional metallic money into circu-
latiou. Some say that it is better
than no bill at all, but am inclined
to believe that matters would be as
well or better under the present law
Oh this subject"
