upon course in q way that would be
binding If those present had been so dis
posed. Hence an adjournment was taken
without action, anu the steering commit
tee went into session.
The entire discussion was based upon
a series Of resolutions presented by Sena-
tor Daniel Of Virginia in the shape OF
suggestions declaring FOR u closure, com
mitting the party to an abandonment of
all efforts to amend the tariff law and to
an effort to reform the currency in accord
anoe with the suggestion IN the presidents
message.
voorhees, Against Tariff Changes.
These resolutions opened wide range
Of debate, in which many senators partic-
ipated. The principal speeches were made
by Senators Voorhees,, Harris Vest, Nor
gan, Pugh and Ransom. Senator Yoor-
hces opened the talk with suggestion TO
the effect that the wisest course lay in the
abandonment Of any effort to pass the free
raw material bills because of the evident
determination Of the Republicans to pre-
vent action. Senator Vest in his speech
showed an inclination toward cloture, con
tending that If the Democrats did not
adopt it the Republicans would when they
should come into power. Senator Morgan
made probably tho longest speech Of the
session in presenting a plea for a liberal
allowance Of time for the consideration Of
the Nicaragua canal bill.
While no action on any question was
taken by the caucus the prevailing senti-
mont after the close Of the caucus seemed
TO be shat the ultimate decision of the
| caucus, would be adverse to the entire Sc
rics Of propositions presented by Senator
Daniel. The sentiment favorable to clo-
sure seemed quite evenly divided, and
/ there are reasons for believing that it
might be agreed upon but for the fact that
/ the Democratic party will soon be in the
minority In the senate
This circumstance led some to advise
against the change who had heretofore been
considered favorable to it. There was also
a strong element present favorable to the
| passage of the sugar bill rs reported by
the finance committee, striking out all
| diiferentials on sugar and leaving Il straight
revenue duty OF 40 per cont ad valoren,
but it was pointed out that if the attempt
| should be made I'm this direction it would
| open up the entire tariff question.

business before proceeding with the busi-
ness itself There was time enough how
ever, for Mr.. Lodge of Massachusetts 10
have passed two resolutions for informa-
tion which promise to bring the Hawaiian
| and Blueilelds incidents before congress
for comment and probably criticism. There
was the usual deluge Of bills and petitions
incident to the opening days of % session,
only one Of Them however being of much
public Importance.
The session of the house was exceeding
ly dull and uninteresting The attendanc,
was small and there was no political clnsl
of any kind. A bill providing for the dcd
ication of the Chickamauga and Chatta
nooga Military park on sept 10 and 20
1885, and one for the establishment of ar
additional military park on the site of th,
battle Of Shiloh were passed, and the rc
mainder of the day was devoted toa fruit
less discussion Of the printing bill.
