The Report Not Apt to be Made Be-
fore Next Monday.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE conferees
on the tariff bill were in session this morn
ing about an hour, when the meeting of the
House required the presence of its conferees
and an adjournment was taken until 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning. But
little progress was made at the ses-
sion to-day. Consideration of the Senate
amendments seriatim was begun, but soon
they came to place where an agreement
was not possible at once and that para -
graph was passed over for the present. And
so it was with other paragraphs until the
conferees drifted into general discussion.
One of them said after their separation, that
in his opinion it would not be possible to
reacn an agreement on all the questions at
issue in the bill by Monday next
This afternoon the republican conferees
on the tariff bill were in session two or
three hours. By this means, it is said. they
hope to expedite matters when the full con-
ference committee Is in session.

publican candidate. He proceeded to eulo-
gl1e ex-senator Malone and praise his
ability In building up the Republican
party in Virginia, and predicted
that If his leadership were fol-
lowed Virginia in few years
would be as reliably republican as was
Vermont. Referring to the cise under
consideration he said that if there was little
law and less evidence to sustain the contest,
there was still less republicanism. He was
confident that there never could be strong
and elective Republican party in the south
until there were enough white men in 1t to
make it strong and effective.
MAHoNE's WORK.

Virginia had made the republican party
strong in that state, and had secured the
election Of ak republicans to congress. The
contestant, flying in the face of the existing

the result had been that Virginia had now
only two republican representatives. Ig-
norance could not dominate and over
rule intelligence. The republican
party in the south could not
be built up on negro votes alone He
(Mr. Cheadle) was not his colleagues
keeper, but, speaking for himself, he said
that he could not, under his oath and with
his knowledge of the case, vote to seat the

called to consider resolutions censuring Rep
resentative Kennedy of Ohio for his speech
against the Senate aud Senator Quay, and
to expunge the speech from the Congress
sionGt Record, was attended by all the
members. Representative Kennedy was
present, and made a statement in defense of
his action, and an argument to prove that
the speech as published in the Record was
within the requirements of parliamentary
law. The COMMITTEES decided by majority
that was large enough to permit Mr.. Adams
OF Illinois to refrain from casting vote, he
having already expressed his opinion of the
speech and the duty of the House on the
floor, to report a resolution directing the
government printer to omit the speech from
the permanent copy of the Record.

stony enable contested election case this
afternoon, it was impossible to pre-
sent the report of the judiciary
committee on the Kennedy-Quay speech.
Inc tneIncerS OF Jne coHluIUtee are pleOReu
to secrecy as TO their action, but it is under
stood that the resolution to expunge the
speech from the Record is accompanied by
a resolution expressing the regret Of the
House at its delivery. The terms of repro
baton contained in Representative Enloe's
resolution are omitted.
The resolution will be taken up in the
House tomorrow or Friday, and then Mr.
Kennedy will have an opportunity to make

He Counts Members in the Committee
Rooms to Make Up a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, Sept E.-Speaker Reed
perpetrsted the greatest outrage Of the ses--
sion upon the democrats to-day. When
moion was made to take up the contested
election case nearlyall the democrats walked
out, few remaining who feared that the
speaker would carry out his threat not to
sign the river and harbor bill until the
democrats allowed the election case to be
taken up. However, with these Speaker
Reed could not see a quorum. He then
delayed announcing the vote until he sent
the pages around to the committee rooms
and Into the restaurant to report the names
of members in the building. BY this method
he announced a quorum present, and the
case was taken up.
