RICHMOND, Va, May 30-There never
was such a gathering in this city in all it's
history, in point of numbers, as that of
yesterday Old residents liken it to that
memorable springtime of 1861, when the
gray uniformed troops began to gather for
the long and bloody struggle. 1t does not
need a vivid imagination to see that
the two pictures, If placed side by side,
would bear a close resemblance, for then,
as yesterday, the busy thoroughfares were
filed with soldiery and the stars and bars
had already been flung to the breeze as the
symbol of a new confederacy. But yes
terday there were 100 Confederate en-

SENATORS AND THE TARIFF BILL
They Finally Agree Upon Plan for Con

They Finally Agree Upon n Plan for Con-
siderine the Measure.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 3O.-The senate
finance committee met yesterday and be-
gan the consideration of the tariff bill
There was full attendance and Carlisle
took his seat and entered into the discus
sion of the bill with earnestness. A prop
osition by Sherman was agreed to, that
the committee take up the bill by para
graphs and either pass them for future ac-
ton, or agree to them as they stood in the
bill as it passed the house The PROPOSE
ton was adopted with the understanding
that any paragraph which was agreed to
might be recalled for future action. The
Fl rst thing the committee did was to vote
against free alcohol for the arts. 1t then
proceeded with the chemical list and made
a number of reductions in the tariff, none
of them significant or important, but all
adopted by the vote of the Republican
making the motion, aided by the solid
Democratic vote.
voorhees, States the Issue.
Most of the items gone over in the four
pages of the bill considered were passed
that the senate committee had hit upon
he way how not to do it, and take the
most time for it. During dis
cussion of future meetings Sherman want
ed to meet and work ten hours n day until
the work was completed, but Carlisle and
Voorhees, said it would be waste of time,
the place for discussion was in the SEN
ate Said Voorhees,: 1.-The Republican
party wants a tariff constructed on the
lines of protection; the Democrats want it
on the lines of revenue" The way to do
it was for the Republicans to go ahead
and complete their bill, and the Demo
Gratis would either draw up another bill or
not, as they deemed advisable.
Made New Arrangement.
The result of all this talk was the adop-
ton of proposition turning the matter
over to subcommittee ON each side, the
Republican subcommittee to prepare
schedules and submit them to the Demo
cratic, and vice versa. Sherman and Vance
| voted against this Later the COMMITTEES
| decided to give hearings to importers
Tuesday night, and still later the Repub
licans got together and made considerable
progress on the chemical schedule. The
Democrats have decided not to prepare q
| bill. They will submit a minority report
and content themselves with offering
| amendments to the bill in the senate.

Major Edwards is hard man to down.
Sometime ago, in order to raise some funds
he borrowed few hundred dollars from
James j. Hill, president of st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba railroad company,
and put up several shares of Argus stock
as collateral. Some two weeks ago the
stockholders held meeting to vote Major
Edwards out of the management of the
Argus through proxies representing these
shares. But Major Edwards wouldn't
have it that way. He claimed that, as the
shares were put up as collateral security
only, the holder of them had no right to
vote them. He succeeded in throwing
tqem out and voting himself back into the
management Of the paper. Verify, the
Major is q brick. With all his faults-if
you choose to call cheek, pluck, courage,
vim and energy faults--he ought to be
credited with having sagacity both sur
prising and fathomless.
