A SPECIES OF GUERILLA WARFARE
carried on by a Few Democrats
Against the Tariff Bill.
Votes Demanded Which are Useful
only to waste Time.
Senate Bill Permitting the States to
Regulate the Liquor Traffic.
rspeeial 20 the Press ]

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Drs. S. Fl. Weeks
and l. T. Dana of Portland, are attending
the meeting of the Association of American
Physicians here. At the election of officers
today DIR. Weeks was chosen counsel. Hon.
w. G. Frye of Belfast United States consul
general at Halifax, is here.
The tariff debate continues. The Demo-
Gratis are taking every opportunity to OBJ
struct. About one-sixth of the list of dutia-
BILE articles has been gone over. According
to the plan laid out by the Republican eau
Gus, one-third should have been done by
this time if vote is to be taken by the Goth.
But the committee of the whole is attending
more strictly to the business in hand and
will probably move faster from now on un-
less the Democrats are eXIfaordinarlly in
dustrious in obstructing. Their method to-
day has been to waste time In voting In
committee of the whole the yeas or nays
cannot be called, but after o viva voce vote
has been taken, division, which Is rising
vote, may be called for and then it may be
demanded that the members pass between
tellers and be counted. Any one of these
methods is sufficient to determine the sense
of the house in this debate, but neyerthe-
less, on every little vote on every little
amendment. the Democrats have forced the
houoo w uSD ~ ouccoSSlOn aii enooO notHOuS
of voting. This wastes time. But 1t is not
probable that the Republicans will allow the
vote to be deferred much beyond the 20tb.
A resolution ordering the previous question
at fixed time will probably be reported
from the committee on rules and be passed
tomorrow or next day. Then the Demo-
Gratis will storm and protest that the right of
debate has been denied, but they will have to
come to time. Ii they would discuss the
question in good faith there would be time
enough, but they persist in delaying all they
can. This applies to the small number who
attend, for not over 80 Democrats are tend
ing out on the tariff debate.

prominent feature of the summer sports. A
boat club is also to be formed soon. The
