the unanimous sentiment that a lockout
had become a necessity for the reorgan-

troll his own business without interfer-
ence from the labor leaders, who, 1t is

Washington, April THE policy of de-
Law in the senate by the Republicans was
made manifest to-day, although Senator
Aldrich declared that there was no pur-
pise on the Republican side of resortlnS
TO flibustering. The proceedings through
out the day were of a nature to remind
a spectator of the extra session. Ihe
motion to adjourn made by Senator
Aldrich, and his motion for an executive
session, the call for a quorum and other
proceedings of a like character, together
with the fact that a roll call was de-
manded by one side or the other on all
the motions of this character became a
part of the record, but necessarily no OF
fetal note was taken of the conferences
on both sides of the chamber, and of
other transactions of a character to show
that the tariff contest has reached an
acute stage. Senators Voorhees,, Jones,
Harris and Mcpherson, Der ocratic men,
bers of the finance committee, were in
whispered conversation a considerable
hi TT of the afternoon after
a close vote on Senator Hills motion to
adjourn, and the Republican leaders were
on the oui vive 10 discover the import of
the conference. They ut last, whether
thu ough inference or information, con-
cluded that the Democratic leaders were
preparing n scheme for the reading of the
tariff bill which was afterward proved to
be correct, and this the Republicans re-
solved to %antagoniZe. They don't want
the bill read at length, for If this should
he done it would afford opportunity for a
parliamentary coup like that which oc-
Cured on the seigniorage bill. Whether
the plans of the Democrats were correctly
OWNED or not, the senate adjourned amid
a confusion of fruitless efforts to obtain
a quorum an hour and a half in advance
Of the usual time.
In the house Congressman Hall to-day
secured unanimous consent for the con-
s:deration and then for the passage of
his bill allowing the city of Hastings to
construct a wagon bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river. The house then went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Hatch in the
cEcir, and the consideration of the post
office appropriation bill was resumed.
Washing or. Apri! 3~.-Senator Carey Is
much encouraged over the prospects of
his bill for the cession on the part of the
government of 1,000,000 acres to each of
the arid land states and territories to be
improved by irrigation. There has been
such a general expression of opinion OF
the part of the members in favor of the
bill that there is little doubt that it will
be favorably reported soon by the com.
mit.ee on public lands. Mr.. Carey is led
to believe that the bill will receive the
unanimous endorsement. Of the commit
tee. Senators Dolph and Villas. both OF
whom favor the bill, say it provides for
an experiment in the right direction. and
is one which, if it should be undertaken.
may lead to a solution of the question OF
what is to be done to reclaim the arid
lands
