Place in the National
Senate.
Opening Of the Great Debate on the
Mckinley Bill---Northwest
at the Capital.

OF James burnte Beck, late United States
senator from Kentucky, were borne at lt
o'clock yesterday morning from the resi-.
dance of Representative BreeKenridge, oi
Kentncky, 10 the capitol. where they we're
placed In the marble room. Soon after
the doors were thrown open to the public
for an hour sud half. Through an er-
roneous statement made on Monday that
tickets Of admission would be needed the
attendance at the ceremony was limited,
Instead OF the struggling crowd eager for
admittAnce there was quiet orderly as
ssmbla2e which II Ii:s0 dld not all even
the public galleries. great many people
moved slowly and silently through the
room, taking their last look at the dead
senator. The horaI tributes were many,
and bsautiful wreath OF Easter lilies,
white carnations and white and yellow
roses bore the card Of Mrs. Harrison. At
los the casket containing the re-
mains Of the senator wss taken
from the marble room into the senate
chamber. where 1t vas placed In
front OF the secretary's desk. The care-
monies In the senate chamber, which
lasted fifteen minutes, were closed with
prayer by the Rev. DIR. Butler, and were
very impressive. The honorary pail bear
ers on the part OF tho senate were Messrs.
Allison, Sherman, Hale, Morrill,, McPher-
son, Vest. PEgh and Gibson. President
Harrison and ths members Of his cabinet
occupied seats At the services. Secretary
Noble, who 10 not In the city, and Attorney
General Miller, who II sick, we're the abb
sentess. The lower house was well repre-
ssntsd. LIN front of the members sat the
chief Justice and associate Justices Of the
supreme court, and directly hahind fhena
sal The diplomasic corps. II was 3 o'clock
when the train bearing the remains on
Senator Beck Isft Warrington for Ken
tacky, their Anal resting place. About
thirty members of the senate aud house cf
representatives accompanied the family of
Mr. Beck 20 Esasacky.
Senator Eeek's saeesssor.
There is q general impression that Mr..
Caslisle will succeed Mr.. Beck In the
United States senate. There IL consider
able interest manifested in this successor
ship, and there are plenty OF good men
who would like 20 have the seat, among
whom N Representative Breckenridge. If
the matter 10 settled by state pride merely
Mr. Csrlise will certainly be chosen, as be
is regarded rs the absest man OF the state.
The Kentucky legislature is now IN session
aud IL 10 desirable that the election should
be held by this Legislature. There ara ave
years vet to run before the term to which
Mr. Back was elected will expire, and II is
auite sure that man chosen now would
succeed himself IL he proved q success in
the senate. Mr.. Carlisle declined the san
atorship al the time the successor Co Sem
ator Williams was elected. and Mr.. Black
burn was then chosen. It has been sug-
gested THAI he might decline IA again with
the idea OF being the speaker Of the next
house. There IL nothing In that. The
democrats have not got the next house yet,
and II they get Il ID has bean pretty we'll
understood for some time that Mr.. Carlisle
has no intention OF standing again for
speaker. II 10 also pretty well understood
among democrats nov thar their next
speaker viii be either Mr.. Mills or Mr..
Crisp.
Pashing the MeKinlss HsIi.
The great tsnff debate opens to.day. At
. conferences of the republicans OF the
house yesterday there was . discussion as
10 whethsr the tariff bill or the river and
harbor appropriation bin should come mp
firsk In the house. II was finally agreed
that the tariff Dill was the more important
and that ia should be called mp to-day.
Another lively argument vas INDUCED In
when the question arose about the time 20
be allowed for its consideration. II wa
decided, however, that the general debate
should 60 on for four days~to-dAy, to-
morrow, Friday and Saturday with night
sessions for speeches. Eight dags addl-
fional will then be allowed for shs consid-
Grafton of the bill BY paragraphs nnder the
ave minute rule. May 20, on II At the
latest. the previous question on the final
passsge OF the bin 10 to be considered as
ordered by the terms OF the special rule 10
bs adopted. OF course the members OF
the committee on rivers and har-
bors feel somewhat blue over the
manner in which their bill has
been rAzzle- aaxxled, and they say
that an soon a. tho tariff bill ID out Of the
gay they will antagonixa all other lsgiala-
ton until the river and harbor bill ~ dis
posed Of.
Thus, while there viii be plenty Of inn
uostsnt legislation accomplished, thets
will b. 90 much ''iimming' that perhaps
abe pmAlIe building bills for many citles
aill be sids- tracked, but your aorrsspond-
