HURRAH FOR STEVENSON!
His Vo,e Saved the Tariff Bill From Bsin,
Lost.
WASHINGTON, Aug. H. To-day
, proceedings in the Senate were OF mos
interesting aud exciting character, in
volYing as they did the success or d'foa
of all the tariff work OF the sessloa; aat
it was only by the casting vote Of th'
Vice President that the Democratl'
party was saved from a bad repuse, i
not complete overthrow.
! The day began with debate upon the
resolution cffered on Friday by Hill
lnstsucling the Senate conferees on the
tariff bill to report whether the c)n!erees
Of the two Houses were likely to agree
and if not to report disagreement.
Hill modified his resolution by insert
ing an additional clause requiring The
bill 10 be handed to the secretary o.
the Senate for such action az the Sen
ate might desire to take upon It. The
significance of this clause was that i
the bill were 80 delivered to the Sen.
ale the House could not have the
chance (Which has been rumored as one
Of the possibilities of tie opposition) to
agree TO the Senate amendments, anC
thus have the bill sent to the President
without any further action on the part
of the Senate. The debate for nearly
two hours was directed to that phase OF
the question. At last action was precl-
plated by motion made by Cockrell to
proceed to the consideration of executive
business.
That motion was Justly regarded by
Hill as hostile to his proposition, aud he
promptly demanded the yeas and nays.
These were taken and were watched with
the most intense interest aud eXcitement
by Senators of all partits aud by an i'm
mense crowd of spectators 10 the gs,-,r
les. The result was announced by the
Vice President as yeas IS. nays 35. and
he promptly gave his vote in the.afllcma.
tive, thus defeating the Hi. resolution
for the time being. 1t has now gone 10
the calendar, whence il cau only be taken
by a majority vote, although similar
resolution may be offered at any time.
Besiddes the 70 Senators who voted
there were l6 paired-the only Senator
left unaccoun.ed for being Stewart Pop
Of Nevada, who was present, but MAN
tanned a position OF stric. neutrality.
The three other Pdpulist S,nators, Al.
len, Kyle aud PETER, with the two Dem
ocratic Senators. Hill and Murphy,
voted with the Republicans. All the
other Democratic Senators remained
true to their party fealty.
The most intense interest and excite.
! ment prevailed on the floor aud 10 the
galleries as the vote progressed. When
pair was announced bstWeen Irby
and Wilsou (Rsp.) Of Iowa, Hill ap-
peared to doubt the detection Of his sup.
posed ally, and demanded the authority
for pairing him with Republican. The
authority was soon forth coming. Jones
! (Dsm.) of Arkansas produced and read
two telegrams which he had received
from Irby, one saysing: Please arrange
pair for me 10 favor of the BILL" and
the other saying: "Pair me il favor Of
the free sugar proposition Ii that comes
up in the Senate"
The roll was finally completed and
the result figured up. Il was announ.
ced by the Vice President 10 these
words: "On agreeing to the motion to
proceed to ths consideration of execa.
tive business, the yeas are IS and the
nays are 35. The Senate is equally d.
vided. The Vice President voted aye"
That Announcement relieved the extreme
tension which had seizsd upon Senators
and spectators. Tle Wee President
directed the galleries to be cleared and
the doors to be closed, and thus ended
an incident which had threatened to
bring to naugh. the whole tariff work of
the session.
