was rejected, inasmuch as the ropre
sentatives of the House had ascer.
tained that compact existed in tue
Senate to defeat tariff Legislation OF
postpone its consideration until next
December If free sugar were made a
part of tho conference report. He
turned az this point and called upon
his associates, Messrs. Montgomery,
breckenridge, Mcmillan and Turner
to substantiate this statement. Mr..
Mcmillan immediately arose and said
that from tho beginning of tho con

PASSED AT LAST.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-All that re
mains now to make the Senate bill a
law is the Presidents signature, and
some believe, though without good
grounds, that he will withhold his
signature or possibly veto it.
The bill is not so good one as
tho house wanted, or rs the pa, ty
had right to expect, hut it is 50 far
superior to the Mckinley net that no
one who believes in tariff reforul
could oonscientiously hinder it's pass.

prompted Speaker Crisp to withdraw
manfully his forces from the field
when he saw how hopeless aud even
disastrous it WIS to continue the
fight
1t was this Wow which urged Mr..
Wilson to call caucus of Democrats
and advise its acceptance. The stall
wart Turner expressed these views in
his clash with Reed, and it was this
patriotic determination to alleviate

any extent, which caused 1872 Demo

There was little of the enthusiasm
displayed in the passage of this bill
which usually accompanies the pass
nge of any important measure. Sena
tors were thick about the House nnd
galleries were crowded, but. com
pnraiivcly speaking, there was little
applanding. The Democrats hisset
