Inside the election window were seated
Inspector William Sutton, Judge William

Republicans were scarce as they saw that
the Democrats were harmonious and
thoroughly organized and they let their
taxes 60 by default. They didn't pay
and didn't vote Tho result Of the elec.

ERRORS IN THE TARIFF BILL.

Only Three That Need to Give the
Treasury Officers Any Concern.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The Legisla-
tive and the Engrossing Clerks of the
Senate have been comparing the state
ment of errors in the new tariff bill, made
in various papers, to-day, and say there
are only three errors that need to give Of
ficers of the Treasury any concern. These
are the paragraphs relating TO the free
admission of alcohol in the arts, the dia-
mond schedule and perhaps the omission
of the period in the paragraph relating to
stamping foreign manufactures.
Even in the case of diamonds they be-
lieye the construction placed will be that
intended by Congress, and they will pay
the duty imposed on precious stones. AS
TO the errors enumerated, it Is claimed
by these clerks that by no system of con-
struction can the alleged mistakes in
punctuation be made TO either impose
higher duties or allow the free admission
of the articles named. Members of the
Finance Committee are of the same
opinion.
Preparations.for carrying into effect the
new tariff bill are going forward at the
Treasury Department with all possible
speed. Secretary Carlisle has already
prepared blank form of license for Gus
toin-house brokers, provided for in the
bill, anu it is now in the hands of the
printers. Several clerks are hard at
work preparing an index for the new
tariff.
The tariff volume of the bill, for the
convenience of customs officials, will
contain both the new laws and the Me-
Kinley OF 1890. 1t is expected that by the
time the new bill becomes law all pre-
liminary work. save that of issuing in
structions to customs and internal reve-
nue. officials, will have been DONE

REV. a. G. HIRST.
The Ecclesiastical Court Finds TIL
Charges Against Him False.

The Ecclesiastical Court Finds the
Charges Against Him False.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22-Rev. A. C.
Hirst, President of the University of the
Pacific, and pastor of Simpson Memorial
NJ. i. Church in this city, has been
cleared by the ecclesiastical court of the
charges of gross immortality preferred
against him by Rogers. The verdict of
the court is as follows:
''We the Committee of Investigation,
to whom was submitted the accusations
against the moral character of Rev. a. C..
Hirst by one S. Rogers, find them ma
liciously and absolutely false. After a
most careful examination of the testi-
mony, it is our Judgment that the charges
have their origin in wicked conspiracy
to defame the character of the accused
and there is no evidence in the case that
even remotely compromises or reflects
on DR.. Hirst as Christian gentleman or
minister of the gospel, and he comes out
of this investigation without the slightest
stain.''
The charges against DR.. Hirst, who is
one OF the leading ministers of the Pacific
coast, were Of such a scandalous nature
that they created great sensation. Rog-
erS, who claims to be minister, had let
ters of recommendation from number
of English Bishops, and to-day these
were proved to be forgeries. Rogers in
duced several boys to make the charges
against DR.. Hirst, and OF them, boy
named Bidwell, is said to have been i'm
plicated in the Cleyeland-street scandal
IN London, a few years ago. To-day
Rogers was denounced before the COM
mittee by his counsel, who gave up his
case. Dr.. Hirst will probably prosecute
Rogers in the criminal courts for black
mail.

NEW WORLDS RECORDS.
SPRINGFIELD Mass, Aug. 22.--J. P.
Bliss made new worlds bicycle record,
half-niile flying start, OF 543 seconds, also
worlds standing start of 5S 1-5 seconds, at
Hampton Park, this afternoon.
The track was in perfect condition and
the light breeze favored rather than him
dered riders. Bliss started for the flying
half at o'clock. He was paced by Lums-
den and Citizens and Brandt. While
pacing Bliss, Lumsden and Githers also
tried for the worlds record in half-mile
tandems. Bliss made the quarter in
0:27 1-5, the half in 0:54 80, thus beating
the record made by j. S. Johnson of 55
seconds, at independence, Ia, last Octo-
Der. 1t also lowered Bliss' previous rec
ord of 0:55 30, made at Waltham, on July
18th. Lumsden and Citizens went the
half mile in 0:54 40, turning the quarter
in 0:Z7 %. This establishes worlds
record for tandems. In the standing start
Bliss was paced by the two same tam
dems, making the quarter in 30 2-5 Sec

ord formerly was held by J. S. Johnson,

70 Business Transacted at Yesterdays
Session OF the Senate.

Session OF the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-No business
was transacted during the short session
of the Senate to-day. Attention was
called to the absence of quorum within
five minutes after the Vice-President
raped for order, and from that time
until 12 o'clock. when the Senate went
into executive session, that body was in a
state of suspended animation. The last
OF the appropriation bills, the general de-
ficiency, was signed by the Vice-Presi-
dent to-day, and now only awaits the
Presidents signature TO become law.
After consultation among the Demo-
cratic Senators Harris moved that the
Sergeant-at-Arm be directed TO request
the presence of the absent Senators,
which was agreed to. AOI:i5 o'clock the
Senate went into executive session.
At lao o'clock the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
Before the telegraphing for absentees
to-day the Democratic leaders made an
especial appeal to the Republicans to per-
NIT the bill to correct the errors with
reference to alcohol to go through with
out objection III the absence OF a quorum.
1t appears that when Senator Chandler
went away he left behind him request
that the bill should not be taken up in his
absence, ana the Kepubllcan senators are
guarding this request. The Democratic
Senators now threaten to retaliate by TAX
ing up the supplemental tariff bills and
trying TO pass them in case they succeed
in getting quorum, but they realize
that there are many difficulties in the
way of putting such a programme into
effect, and did not at the meeting to-day
resolve upon any definite action beyond
exerting themselves to the utmost to
secure the attendance of quorum.
THE HOUSE NOT IN SESSION.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The House
was not in session to-day, and very few
members put in an appearance. Speaker
Crisp was in his private rooms finishing
up his work. He said be had no intima-
ton as to the disposition of the tariff bill
or the possibilities of an adjournment.
ADJOURNMENT DISCUSSED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Senator Cor
man and Speaker Crisp had conference
to-day, and the matter OF early adjourn
ment was discussed. ct is believed by
the Democratic leaders that a business
quorum cannot be longer maintained
in either house, and that it would be
well to have an early adjournment, and
that it should come as soon as the tariff
bill is finally settled.

against the Government. Men high in

clared that they were anxious for the
Philadelphia to leave. as it would give
them an opportunity TO show the Royal
