A REPUBLICAN BLUFF
Promptly Called by Democratic Sena-
tOrs.-A Tariff Debate Incident.


Special to the ST. Louia Republic.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April d.
There was an interesting incident
in the Senate to-day, which de-
monstrated that the Democrats
were not afraid to vote on the
tariff bill and that the Republicans
we're reasonably sure that a vote
on the bill would secure its passage.
Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Island
made a great bluff, and he was
called. He dared the Democrats
to vote Oh the Wilson bill or the
bill as amended by the Senate
finance Committee, at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon. Mr.. Lindsay OF
Kentucky was speaking at the
time, and did not fell at liberty to
speak for his party in reply to that
proposition. In the meantime Mr.
Harris of Tennessee, who is man.
aging the bill on the Democratic
side, made an active canvass OF
the Democrats, and when Senator
Lindsay concluded, he accepted
Aldrich's offer that voting on the
bill should begin at 3 O'Clock.
Then AIdrich made pitiable
spectacle of himself. He was
forced to withdraw his proposition
or dodge it. Everybody in the
chamber knew that it was a pure
bluff. 1t was a finet, in fact, to
find out how much confidence the
Democrats had in themselves. At
ter canvass Of 10 minutes Mr..
Harris found that the bill could
pass, although Mr.. Smith of New
Jersey would not say how he
would vote, and Hill was absent,
but paired with a Republican.
Kyle and Allen, Populists, said
they were willing to vote for the
bill. This gave the Democrats
enough votes. Harris made AL
drich beat an undignified retreat.
She event will have the effect
of Fastening final action on the
bill. The Republicans now feel
reasonably sure that the Demo.
Gratis will act together and that
they have enough votes in the Sem
ate to pass the measure. This ia
what the Republican managers
have been playing for. tits known
to them that business interests of
the country favor early action on
the bill. Now, being convinced
that the Democrats have enough
votes to pass it, the Republicans
will be apt to shorten debate, in
dulge in only legitimate discussion
and come to vote as soon as
possible. There is no longer a
doubt that the bill will pass. Hill
and Murphy are the only two Sen.
at0rs on the Democratic side still
in doubt, but the bill can be pass
ed without their votes. 1t is
probable, too, that they will vote
for it when they discover that
their votes can not beat it.

weeks ago, more than 10000 miners dropped
their picks at noon last Saturday. The
strike extends through Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and kilograms from organizers in the
doubtful districts of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Indiana and Illinois show that the
action OF the miners there has been all that
could be hoped for, while many mining
districts where the organization has never
before been able to get a foothold send
word that they are organizing to join the
strike.
THE health department of Chicago seems
utterly unable to cope with the rapid spread

would accommodate the unfortunate vic

crowded condition, but already more cases
have been reported than can be cared for in
the new building. To the horror of the pest
has been added that of restitution and
want. Deserted by friends and left alone
in their distress, the isolated sufferers are
looking for assistance from the city.
