WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-A full attendance
of members of the senate finance commit
tee were present this morning when the
tariff bill was taken up for consideration.
Mr.. Carlisle took the seat at the foot of the
Democratic side of the table and entered
into the discussion with earnestness. Sen
ator Sherman, on opening, suggested that
the committee take UP the bill by para
graphs and either pass them as they stood
in the bill as it passed the house or not.
This was agreed to. and the chemical
schedule was then gone over and thirty
eight items checked off when the hoar Of
II o'clock arrived.
The question of future meeting was
preached.
Senator Thurman, in speaking on the
subject advocated daily sessions of ten
hours duration in order to complete the
bill for report to the senate at the earliest
practicable day.
This suggestion met with opposition
from both sides.
Senator Voorhees, stated the place for
discussion upon the tariff bill was in the
senate. The Republican party he said
wanted the tariff construction on the lines
of protection. The Democratic party
wanted bill on the lines of revenue. The
way to do was for the majority of the Re
publican members of the committee to
argue upon their bill and the Democrats
do the same ii in their judgement the re-
porting of minority measure was desir-
able.
Senators HiscocB, Jones and Morrill,
then Senator Hlscock moved that
subcommittee on each side be ap-
pointed to prepare such schedules as would
be advocated by its party on the floor of
the senate. That the Republican subcom-
mittee as fast as it prepared its schedules
should submit them to the Democratic
subcommittee, and the latter furnish its
schedules to the Republican subcommittee
This motion was adopted. The changes
that were made in the chemical schedule
by the committee today were all reductions.
They were proposed by the Republicans
and supported by solid Democratic vote
and the vote of the member making the
motion.

corning the Cherokee Ne
gotiatiOns.
FIFTY-FIRsT CONGRESS.

SENATE.
WAsH1N$ToN, May 29.-The pre-
siding officer presented message
from the president with communication
from the secretary of the Interior recon-
mendlngan appropriation to continue nego
tiations with the Cherokee and other In
dams for the cession of their lanes. Re-
ferred.
On motion of Mr.. Spooner, of ILL.,, it was
ordered that the adjournment today shall
be till Monday next
Senator Spooner offered a resolution
which went over calling on the attorney
general for information as to the practice
in the u. S, courts at Fl. Smith, Ark, and
Paris, Texas,as to the appointment OF COM
missioner IN the Indian Territory and
whether such commissioners might be res
idents of the Territory and have jurisdiction
of petit larceny and other minor ofences;;
liquors to the provisions Of the laws of the
States was again taken up, the question
being on the substitute by Senator Gray in
sorting the words "fermented, distilled or
other Intoxicating liquors."
Senator Gray's amendment was agreed
to-yeas rs, nays 20.
Senator Vest moved to amend the substl-
tute Just adopted by making it apply to
fresh beef, veal, mutton, lamb and pork.
Lost.
The bill was then passed-yeas "a, nays
10. 1t reads, THAT all fermented, distilled
or other intoxicating liquors or liquids
transported into the State or territory for use
consumption, sale or storage, shall on ar
rival in such State or territory OF remaining
therein, be subject to the operation and ef-
feet of the laws of such State or territory
- =. n<Nfx 10
the same extent and in the same manner
as though such liquors or liquids had been
produced in the State or territory, and
shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of
being introduced therein in the original
packages or otherwise"
After brief executive session the senate
adjourned.
The house went into committee of the
whole on public building bills.
A special committee setting apart day
for the consideration of measures of this
character provides that the bills be taken
up according to the direction of the COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds.
Mr.. Mills of Texas inquired what that
direction was.
Mr.. Milliken of Maine replied that re E.
garding the bills politically two Republic
can bills would be called up and then
one Democratic bill. This was about
the proportion of Republican measures.
Mr.. Mills thought this arrangement un-
fair and the committee should alternate
between the two sides.
Mr.. Allen of Michigan declared the whole
question of passing public building meas
ures was vicious. A general law on the
subject should be enacted, but as long as
the system prevailed there was nothing
fair IN passing two Republican bills to one
Democrat bill. Politics had nothing to do
with it and he could not sit calmly and
hear men talk about dividing the post
offices according to the politics of the
house.
After consideration of several bills the
house adjourned till Monday.
