WASHINGTON, June 12.-The absolute
blockade of the tariff bill in the Senate to-
day was In marked contrast with the Won
derful progress made yesterday. Not a cog
was turned. The entire eight hours were
devoted TO set speeches preliminary TO the
consideration of the wool schedule. Sena-
tor HoaI made a speech against the bill,
and then Mr.. Quay, who has been quiescent
for five weeks, resumed the delivery of his
speech which has already occupied four
days. and after speaking four hours to-day
his manuscript seemed unappreciably d.
minished. Then he yielded from sheer ex-
haustion and Messrs. Pettigrew, Power and
PETER made set speeches against free wool.
Other set speeches will follow tomorrow,
but it is probable that the actual considera-
ton OF the wool schedule will be reached be-
fore adjournment During a hull in the de-
bate to-day Mr.. Mitchell, of Ohio, moved to
lay the tariff bill on the table. The motion,
however, was without special significance,
and was defeated by a strict party vote.
Mr.. Chapman, the Wall-street broker, who
refused to answer questions, was reported
as contumacious TO the Senate by the sugar
investigating committee. and a resolution
was introduced to bring him to the bar of
the Senate for contempt.
AT the opening of the session Mr.. Chandler
made some brief observations in support OF
the resolution he introduced just before adj
Journment last night, calling on the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for all information in
his possession regarding the extent to which
the padrone system prevails. Mr.. Chandler
expressed the opinion that one of the most
potent agencies in the humiliation of the
padrone system would be the enlistment of
a sentiment adverse to 1t among the better
and weather. classes of Italians.
Several bills of minor Importance were
taken from the calendar and passed, includ-
Ing one TO provide for the fees and compen
sations of the officers Of the Circuit and
District Courts of the judicial districts OF
North Dakota, and TO amend the act diyid-
ing that judicial district.

and concluded as follows: "The power
which is TO pass this bill is a coalition be-
tween the aristOcrat and the Populist; be-

and the spirit which would make war on
property, on frugality on honest labor, on

prospect of important changes in the in

dropping OF all the purely administrative
part of the bill, which would result
IN leaving the present administrative
law on the statute books. The question has
been under further consideration to-day, the

Senate rendering 1t unnecessary Tor the
