DEMOCRATS IN CONFERENCE.

Senators Discuss the Wilson Tariff Bill
Absentees Called Back.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The confer
ePee begun last week of Democratic
senators on the tariff was continued
in the room of the senate committee
on appropriations. Senators Cockrell,
Jones of Arkansas, German, Vest and
Harris were among those present
They decided among other things to
summon absent Democratic senators
so as to have them here by Wednes-
day when the bill is to be taken up by
committee in any effort to crowd the
bill toward its passage. They agreed
to begin this work by trying to get an
extension of the daily hours for de-
bate, and authorized Senator Harris
TO ask on Wednesday for the continu-
alton of debate until o'clock each
day, instead of 5 o'clock, the hour of
closing now.
There is no room for doubt that the
conference also considered the advisa-
bility of amending the bill to
make it acceptable to Democratic
senators who now find the bill dis
tasteful to them, but the senators
who were in the conference, are very
reticent on this point.
When Senator Aldrich was asked
what course the Repu b1ican senators
would pursue when the Democrats
should move to secure an extension of
the present hours, he said they would
resist. because the hours are now as
long as the senate usually sits and be-
cause it was early in the debate to be-
gin the physical test which it is ex-
pected on all hands will come later in
the proceedings.

Still his mind was not easy.
He paused yet again and passed his hand
nerveusly over his brow His lips moved,
but his voice died ere it reached the condi-
ton of articulate coherency.
May 1 not call you-you-Ethel?" he
asked at last
She toyed carelessly with the fringe Of
her mantle.
''You may call me all you want to- she
answered, and her manner was cold and
heartless, but I give you pointer right
now-I won't get up till get ready"
But he had already hired her for second
girl at So a week and could not recede.
He could only wend his way Romeward
and cry out against the barriers 1t society
had erected.-Detroit Tribune.

TARIFF LAW OF INDIA.

Consul General Polk Has Sent Copy to
the Department of State.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-Consu1 Gen
eral Polk of Calcutta has sent to the
department of state a copy of the tar
if law of India, and in his letter Of
tranSmlttal says.
1.-The act is strictly an act for the
raising of revenue. This action has
been rendered necessary by the in
creased revenue required to meet the
payments on the gold debt due
from India to England, and resulting
from the fall in the gold value of sill
yer, which is the money of the country.
The government proposes by means
of the proceeds of this tax and by the
retrenchment in the annual expendi-
lures on internal improvements to
meet the deficit. The most remarka-
BILE feature of the act is it allows man
ufactures of cotton, about forty per
cent of the total imports to come in
free, which has excited intense but
Intellectual expostulation-"

WHEN ONE MAN QUITS

WASHINGTON, April 24.-SenatoP
Washburn of Minnesota consumed al
most the entire afternoon in a speech
against the tariff bill, which was
mainly protest against the abrOga-
ton of the reciprocity clause of the
Mckinley bill. He believed the Will
son bill, in some form would be en-
acted into law. In the few minutes
| that remained between the time Sem
ator Washburn concluded his speech
and the hour of 5 o'clock, Senator
Dolph gave an installment of his
speech.
During the amorning session bill
was introduced, by request, by SEN
ator PETER, Ito dispose of idle labor
and discourage idle wealth in the
District of Columbia" which was re-
ferred to the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia. He also sought to
take up from the calendar his resolu-
ton for the appointment of commit
tee communicat ions-his s'COxey
committee but the motion was lost,
II to 20.
The house bill for the protection of
birds and animals in the Yellowstone
National park, which was under con-
sideration in the morning hour last
Saturday, was called up by Senator
Carey, and after some amendments
had been made the bill passed.
Senator Chandler gave notice of a
desire to speak at some length on the
Notifications bill, and suggested some
agreement should be made by which
an entire day could be given to con-
sideration of the bill A reminder
was thrown out by Senator Quay
that it had been agreed to go into ex-
ecutive session this morning the
Florida nominations.
WELL" said Senator Chandler ST
have given the notice and will let it
take its course
Promptly at o'clock Senator Quay
called attention to the fact that the
hour of closing the tariff debate had
arrived, and some discussion as to the
intent of the agreement enSued. Sem
atOr Gray, for the Democrats, main
tanned it was not intended to shut off
tariff debate at o'clock, but to pre-
vent any other business from coming
in between 1 and o'clock The Re-
publicans declined to go on. and at
5:o2, on motion of Senator, Harris, the
senate went into executive session,
and at 500 the doors were reopened
and the senate adjourned.
The house devoted the entire day to
local business from the committee on
Dis trict of Columbia.

Exists.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., April 24.-Governor
Tillman yesterday publicly expressed
himself on the supreme court decision.
He confessed he cannot solve the prob

state-whether prohibition exists, or
whether the decision leaves the gap
open for free whisky He gave 1t as
his opinion, however, that the decis-
ion means free whisky, the esta blish-
ment of saloons at every crossroads
and street corner, with no law to
license, restrain or prevent them in
anything they may do All he knew
was that the state could not sell whis-

troubled him for about one year.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Simpson joined
an excursion of the mem ers of the

occasion some of the members took
violent colds, and Simpson was one of
them This started rheumatism and
his kidney trouble also, which has
since been gradually growing more
