THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS BILL.


lican Senators-AdjOurned without
Reaching n Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Thirty- nine re-
publican senator's held very inharmonious
caucus over the federal elections bill to-
night and adjourned without reaching a
conclusion. The meeting developed the
fact that about fifteen republican senator's
prefer adjournment to passing the bill.
Messrs. Quay ald Cameron strongly rep
resented the political inexpediency of
passing the bill now. Senator Aldrich
favored adjournment of the senate and
Mr.. Plumb opposed the bill out and out.
Messrs. Hoar and Spooner favored the
bill, the latter telling his associates that it
must be passed now if ever. There were
sharp retorts to these speeches and the
caucus adjourned at 1899 without taking
q vote on future action

Water Wells Abandoned Because of
Its Presence.
SHELBYvILLE, Ind, Aug. 14.-The ex-
citement over the the natural gas explo-
sion still prevails throughout the country,
and thousands of people are fiocking to
the scene. 1t is now discovered that the
soil for many miles around is impregnated
with the combustible, and by piercing it
with a stick the gas may be ignited and a
blaze secured large enough to produce con-
siderable illumination. In Van Buren,
township, twenty-four miles north, the
gas has broken into the water wells, and
the use of water from them has been
abandoned. Some of the farmers have
cased the wells and are using the gas from
them for fuel.

vice during the strike shall not be dis
placed unless their services are unsatisfac-

THE FIFrx.FrRsr CONGRESS.

The Tariff Bill Up for Consideration
i'm the standardization OF MIR.
Vests Amendment to Reduce the
Duty on TIN Patchwork of the
House.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1.-The
tariff bill was taken up, the pending
question being on Mr.. Vests amendment
offered last Monday-to reduce the duty
ON tin plate, paragraph 1877, page %, from
2 2-10 to 1 cent per pound.
Mr.. Mitchell addressed the senate in
defense of the high protective system as
being the policy to which the republican
party stands committed.
He was followed by Mr.. Reagan in an
argument to controvert position taken
by Mr.. Mitchell to the effect that congress
has the constitutional power to levy taxes
in order to regulate trade and industries.
Mr.. Plumb gave notice of an amend
ment which he would offer to strike out of
paragraph 1877, the provision imposing a
duty on tin plate and to add to the para
graph provision to pay to the manufac-
turers of tin plate made in the United
States a bounty of one cent per pound.
The vote was taken and Mr.. Vests
amendment was rejected, Messrs. Davis
and Plumb being the only republicans
voting in the affirmative. Mr.. Ingalls, did
not vote and Mr.. Paddock voted in the
negative.
Mr. Plumb offered the amendment (of
which he had given notice. to strike out the
clause imposing a duty of 2 2-10 cents a
pound on tin plate, reserving the other
part of the proposition as to bounty.
After Mr.. Higgins had spoken against
the amendment it was withdrawn by Mr..
Plumb, who offered another, making the
duty on tin plate cent pound and pro-
vfding a bounty of cent a pound on tin
plate manufactured in the United States
Without proceeding farther in the mat
ter the senate at Cos adjourned till to-
morrow at 10 a. m.
The first business in order this morning
was the vote on sustaining the decision of
the chair overruling the point of order
made by Mr.. Springer of Illinois that the
Nat Mckay relief bill must be considered
in the committee of the whole.
The decision was sustained, yeas ia,
nays 81, the speaker counting quorum.
After speeches in favor of the bill by
Mr.. Thomas of Wisconsin and Mr.. Stone
of Kentucky, and in opposition byMr.
Springer of Illinois, the latter gentleman
moved to commit the measure to the COM
mittee on war claims.
No quorum was developed on this vote
and subsequent efforts to secure one prov
ing unavailing the house at 4:05 adjourned.

Shorter Hours for Clerks.

Shorter hours for CLERKS. This is the
word passed along the ranks CT organ
lied labor. and approved by q growing
sentiment among employers. With GU
penters, bricklayers and every organized
trade demanding the eight hour day i,
is certainly time for some measures of
relief to be offered the Chicago statesmen
and saleswomen who work from twelve
to fourteen hours every day
The advocates Of short working hours
make the following declaration Of their
idea of laboring mans day: Eight
hours for labor, eight hours for recre-
alton and eight hours for sleep" In the
case of Chicago statesmen this division
of the day is not observed. The daily
routine would come nearer the follow
ing: Fourteen ho4s for labor, eight
hours for sleep and two hours for get
ting to and from the store. by this az
rangement the salesman can devote all
day Sunday to becoming acquainted
with the folks at home, unless he is EN-
ployed in one of the many establish
ments which persist in Eeering open be-
tween the hours Of 9 a. N. and noon
each Sunday.
What our association is opposing in
particular is the keeping open Oh Sun
day." said Harry Denny, the president
"This has become the rule in the big
clothing houses on the west side, anu
there is no good reason for it, as all
stores are kept open late Saturday even
ing and every one has chance to do
necessary trading without compelling
clerks to work seven days in week. ~
