ate ,efore Are Appointed.
 washing, July T.-A few minutes after o,ciek the senate again took up the conts snce report of the tariff bill. with tfe purpose of sending 1, back to the cMyerence committee with out recommer tion.
 Mir. Gray oP cd the proceedings by saying that he "a nothing further to say on his point of order. MT. Man. dsrson. rep. of Nebraska, did have something to say, however. and he said 1t at length. He opposed the point of order, which was in effect that a motion to instruct conferees in a spe- cific matter in a bill interfered with a full and free conference as contem- plated by the rules. Mir. Manderson in- sisted that the motion to instruct was not out of order. If Mir. Gray's mo- ton prevailed, he said. what a superior advantage the house of representatives, with its power to instruct, would have over the senate. with no such power.
 MT. Platt, rep. of Connecticut, agreed with MT. Manderson that conferees could be instructed on a specific point in a bill and he said he would show that such a motion had been adopted by the senate and furthermore that MT. Gray had voted for it. |;
 When MT. Platt concluded, Mir. Chandler. rep, of New Hampshire, sug- gested that the small number of sena- tors present was hardly adequate to the intellectual struggle going on. and he asked for call of the senate. which was ordered.
 MT. Harris, the president pro tenn pore. delivered his decision on the point of order when the quorum appear ed. He decided that the power of each house was so absolute and com plete in the absence of instructions as at any other time. As every fea- ture of conference report must be sub- mitted to the senate for its approval, no power of the senate was lost by failure to support or decision to sup port. He sustained Senator Gray's point of order and declared that Sena- tor Washburn's could not hold. Senator Washburn immediately noted an ap- peal and Senator Faulkner moved to lay the appeal on the ta- ble. The yeas and nays were ordered. The vote on the motion to lay the appeal from the chairs de- cision on the table resulted in tie vote: Yeas 32, nays S2, and, according to par liamentary usage the nays had it.
 Senator Camden, before the vote was announced, attempted to transfer his pair so as-to break the tie. but the re- publicans objected and he did not per- 'sist. The question then was: Shall the decision of the chair stand as the judgment of the senaeT' and on this the ayes and noes were also ordered.
 <, In the vote to lay the. appeal from the chairs decision on the table Messrs. Hill, dem., of New York, and Allen, Kyle and Peffer populist, voted with the republicans in the negative. MT. Stew art, populist who voted with the demo- crats yesterday, did not vote. MT. 1rby, dem., was paired with MT. Smith, den., in the negative.
 On the question of allowing the de- cision of the chair to stand the vote also resulted in a tie: Yeas 32, nays S2, the same as detailed above. As the tie decided that the question of the chair should not stand the vote then recurred to MT. Washburn's mo- tion to strike out the duty of IS differ ential in the sugar schedule, and the yeas were again ordered. The vote re- suited: Yeas 32. nays 52. and the mo- tion was not agreed to. .y
 The motion of MT. German that the tariff bill should be sent back to con- ference without instructions was then adopted by viva voce vote. The pres- ident protein announced the conferees. They are the same as before, Messrs. Voorhees,. Harris. Vest and Jones, dem- ocrats, Sherman, Allison and Aldrich, republicans. ...
 There was much confusion, owing to the exchange of congratulations among the democrats that the crisis had been so happily passed.
 The tariff bill, five minutes after the action of the senate had been com- to the house to-day by Sec- retary Cox, was carried to the room of the committee on ways and means and locked up in the safe. Much con- cern was felt by members of the house, by the leaders, over the DOS sible effect of the future of the bill of the close vote in the senate. but they were reluctant to express them selves for publication. There were but two of the house majority conferees in the city this afternoon and it was impossible to fix a time for the reas- sembling of those to>whom the bill has been again committed.
 It was said in the room of the ways and means that Mr. Wilson was at his home in West Virginia, but would doubtless return to Washington to-mor- row in case he received information of the senate's action in. time to take the night train. MT. Montgomery has been out of the city, but will return The general opinion. and in this Speaker Crisp agreed, was that the conferees would not get together be- fore Monday. What would he the out come no one could say.
