Tho Tariff Bill Finally Taken Up for Con-
sideration.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-In the Senate
this morning the bill to pension all the sur
viving officers and men of Powell's battal-
ion Of Missouri Mounted Volunteers, raised
during the war with Mexico, was passed.
Aldrich offered q resolution fixing the
daily hour of meeting at IL o'clock. Ingalls,
suggested an understanding that the busi-
ness of the morning hour shall be con-
sidered closed at o'clock. Allison did not
wish it implied that the Senate would de-
vote two hours day to morning business.
ingalls, said he did wish just such an i'm
plication. As soon as the Tariff Bill, the
Appropriation bills and the Election Bill
were pas sed, Congress would undoubtedly
adjourn promptly, therefore whatever was
to be done between now aud the time OF ad-
jOurnment, in consideration Of measures
on the calendar, would have to be done in
the morning hour. There were several
hundred bills on the calendar entitled to
consderatiOd.
Cockrell asked what was the use Of the
Senate passing bills when the distinguished
gentleman i'll charge of the House did not
give any attention to them. There were
now on the calendar of the House hundreds
and hundreds of bills passed by the Senate
and no attention paid to them. Among
them was bill reiundlng tile direct tax,
also two bills recently passed, and regarded
on the other side of the chamber as very
i'm ortant measures the shipping bills, and
they were being left to "sleep the sleep
that knows no waking.
Hawley did not agree with Co;krell. He
wanted his own ammunition in order, SO he
could 60 home with clear record.
The resolution as to meeting at IL O'Clock
was agreed to, with the understanding that
the Senate shall adjourn at o'clock.
Aldrich moved to proceed to the consid-
GRAFTON of the Tariff Bill. That motion was
antagonlzrd by Gray to proceed to the eon-
sideration OF the House bill for the transfer
OF the Revenue Marine to the Navy De-
fartment. The latter motion was agreed

KILLED In CHURCH.
The Armenian Cathedral The Scene Of Riot
and BlOOdShed.

CoNsTANTINoPIE. July %. - A large
crowd of Armenians gathered in the Arme-
nian Cathedral in this city yesterday for
the purpose of demonstrating with the Pa
triarch of the Church for his weak action
toward the Porte regarding outrages perpe-
trated by the Turks in Armenia, and to de-,
mand his resignation. One eof the crowd
mounted chair in the cathedral and de-
manded that the Patriarch explain the
events that had occurred at Erzeroum and
the position of affairs in Armenia. The
Patriarch protested against the action of
the mob, and declared sacred edlfice was
no place for such a demonstration. This
answer to their demands exasperated the
mob, and they rushed upon the Patriarch,
dragged him from the pulpit and otherwise
maltrcated him. After being very roughly
treated the Patriarch finally succeeded in
breaking loose and made his escape. Mill
tary assistance was asked for, and body of
Turkish troops was sent to restore order, but
when they entered the cathedral and tried
to clear the building they met with des-
perate resistance. The mob was armed
with revolvers and spiked slaves, and
bloody conflict ensued between them and
the troops. Four of the soldiers and sew
eral rioters were killed and others we're in
jured before the mob was driven from the
building. The cathedral is now closed.

The D cision Arrived At by the Republican
Senators in Caucus.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-1he Republican
Senatorial caucus tonight was attended by
about thirty members. Senator Sherman
presided. His statement was that the eau
Gus had determined 10 fix the hour Of
meeting OF the Senate after tomorrow, ENC
until further ordered, at 10 O'Clock ana
continue the session as long as possible.
The Tariff Bill alone is to be considered
for several days and then displaced, for
time, at least, by the River and Harbor
Bill. The object of this policy is to en-
deavor to force the Democrats to show
their purpose toward the bill, whether
or not it is to be one Of delay.
The Republicans hope to tire out the
Democrats, who are to be left to do all the
talking, except when necessary to answer
some point. The bill to transfer the reve-
nue. marine will be postponed until after
the Tariff Bill is out of the way.
According to all reports the Election Bill
was discussed only incidentally. There
was no announcement by any Senators
whether or not they would support the bill
in the Srnate.
