WAsHINGToN, July %. The Senate to.
day agreed to meet hereafter at II a. m.
aud adjourn at 6 p m.
Durlug the discussion Mr.. Ingalls, an.
uouneci that when "the tariff bill, the
appropriation bills and the election bill,
were passed, Congress would undoubted-
ly adjourn.
Mr.. Cockrell referred to the fact that
the House had failed so far to consider
the direct tax bill and the shipping bill,
aud expressed the belief that there was
no. much use in the Senate passing more
bills.
Mr.. Gray anita gonized the tariff with
the bill to transfer the revenue marine
10 lie naval service and the latter meas
urs was taken up-126 to 25.
Mr. Cockrell continued his argument
against the BILL
At two o'clock the tariff bill came up
rs unfinished business, and Mr.. GRAY
moved TO lay it aside to continue the
discussion of the pending bill. The
Senate determined ia to 14) to consider
the tariff bill.
Mr.. Vest addressed the Senate. He
slid that the depression of agricultural
interests and the demands of farmers
for something besides lying statistics and
irothy declamations, had caused Presi-
dent Harrison and Mr.. Blaine to urge
upon Congress subsidies for steamships
aud reciprocity with South American
States. At last the protectionists had
b3eu drawn from their pretentious hum
bug about the home market, and were
forced TO adopt the principles Of free
commercial intercourse.
Mr. Vest ridiculed the protection to
the American farmer proposed in the
pending bill, and said that the prohibi-
tive tariff on cattle (of which none were
imported save for breeding purposes)
was a humbug. What the farmer
wanted was enlargement of foreign
markets, and decrease of duties on hard
ware, clothing, tin, and other neces-
saries of daily life.
Mr. Aldrich denied statements made
by Mr. Mcpherson regarding enormous
dividends paid by New England manu-
featuring concerns.
Mr.. Turpie addressed the Senate in
support Of Mr.. M,Pherson's motion to
recommit the bill with instructions.
The question was taken on the mo
tion TO recommt and it was defeated by
a strict party vote-yeas 10, nays 30.
The reading of the bill by paragraphs
for amendment was begun-the frs
schedule being that as to chemicals, oill
and paints.
Mr.. Mcpherson moved to reduce tn
duty on acetic or pyrollg neous acid no
