IN The SENAT TIE.
Crowds Present When Hill Makes His
Motion Concerning Committee.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Senate
Chamber was the storm centre OF the
tariff conflict today. Early in the day
eager crowds thronged tho lobbies
leading to the Senate galleries
and struggled for points OF van
tage to hear the expected debate
on Senator Hills resolution directing the
Senate tariff conferrees to report on the
situation. All the public galleries were
filled and the crowds overfowed into
the corridors outside.
The private galleries were also taxed to
their full capacity with the exception OF
those reserved for the executive
household and the diplomats,
which stood out conspicuous for their
emptiness in the fringe of faces which
filled the chamber. Upon the floor of the
Senate the same calm as OF an ordinary
day prevailed. Senator Hill was
one OF the earliest to take his
seat in the rear of the chamber. Senator
Vest OF Missouri, scheduled for sem
sational disclosure on tariff confer
ence affairs, serenely read a news
paper and then as the routine
proceedings were disposed OF, leaned back
and waited the approaching conflict.
There was the usual prelude of formal
business which received scant attention.
AT 1890 Senator Hill arose and asked
that his resolution introduced yesterday
be considered. lie gave way, however,
TO Senator Chandler, who asked
that the resolution for an investiga-
tion OF the alleged Irregularities in the
recent Alabama elections go over until
next Monday.
Mr.. Chandler spoke sarcns stically OF
Alabama election methods and drew fort h
brief response from Senator Pugh
tDem., Ala.,) on the futility OF the inves-
tigation, as the returns were wholly with
In the jurisdiction OF State authorities.
Mr.. Chandler thereupon asked leave to
Withdraw the resolution and Immediately
re-ofered it, which carries~i over.
Hll On Deck.
The desk was now clear for the tariff
contest. Senator Hill was on his feet, and
there was hush through the chamber |
The clerk read the Hin resolu-
tion. Then the Senator, in calm aud
quiet manner said that the parliamentary |
situation was such that he would present |
the following amendment to his resolu- |
tion, iDstructing the Senate conferrees to |
return the tariff bill to the custody OF the
secretary of the Senate.
Resolved, That the conferrees on the
part of the Senate, who are now consider
ing the differences between the two Houses
on House bill 1864, being an act en-
titled 'An act TO reduce the
taxation, to provide revenue for
The Government and other purposes be
directed to report to the Senate if they
are likely to come to an agreement, deliv-
ering said bill to the secretary of the
Senate for the further action OF the SEN
ate thereon"
The principal change in the resolution
Is the provision that the conferrees shall
deliver the bill to the secretary Of the Sem
ate.

HINTS TO YOUNG AUTHORS.

The first thing you need is to have some
thing to say. If you have nothing that
you are burning to tell keep silent. Next
you must remember that the way of saying
II thing is very important, and so you must
cultivate style. TO gain good style you
must read the best authors. You will
learn how to write only by reading, and
not by writing out your own thoughts
while you are young; by taking in great
thoughts, the thoughts and words Of the
great of all ages.
Read Dante, Milton, Shakespeare; have
always on hand Il task, in the way of IA his
tory or an essay, or some volume which
you cannot read hastily. Gradually, by
reading the best literature you will gain Il
good vocabulary, and learn to express your
self as the masters do. When you write
do not choose Il high-hown subject which
does not interest, and is in no way real to
you, but describe something with which
you are familiar. Take your fathers house
or the street your school stands on, or your
own room, and try to make IA pen picture
of either of these. Write in plain simple
language as you would speak. Always
write as if you were talking to somebody,
IA child, or dear mother, or your cousin
Bob, who is in Madras, or your Aunt
Emcline, in the frontier fort, a weeks
journey from home.
Never think especially of publishing
your work, or of making money by it.
Money is paid only to those who under
stand their art not to beginners. You
will spoil your work and ruin all your
chances if you let the thought OF money
enter into your first writing.

A GREAT PROJECT.
TO UTILIZE THE WATER POWER
AT CONOWINGO.
A Company Being Organized to Harness
the SuSquehanna River.

A movement is on foot among Baltimore
capitalists to organize a company for the
purpose of utilizing the waters of the Sus-
ouehanna river to supply electric power
for manufacturing plants in that city. The
plan under consideration is to locate an
electric plant OH the shores of the SuSque-
hanna. near Conowingo, which is some
miles above Port Deposit, and only thirty
five miles in an air line from Baltimore.
from which power will he transmitted by
overhead wires direct to the city. taking in
the town of Belair on the way. and mostly
running along the country roads. About a
mile and half of land along the Susque-
hanna has already been purchased, at one
of the hest vantage grounds on the river
sufficicncv. it is deemed, for the present
purposes of the comranv-and negotiations
are in progress with parties in Pittsburg for
understood that some forty-tive feet fall of
water can he secured. and the power can
he run M to 100. 600 horse power If re-
urired. No such amount of power, how
ever. will be needed. and the company. at
the, outset. will probably start with trans
hitting current of about 1000 horse power
only. and thereafter increase it as the
demand for a supply increases. The cost
of producing electric power by the con-
sumption of coal is estimated to be six
mills per horse power per hour, a small
item of expense. it would appear, put in
that way, hut very large when the number
of horse power and working hours are null
tiplied With water as the producing
or generating power Of electricity, the cost
is largely decreased down to the interest
ONLY on the cost of the plant. and the cost
of its operation. the latter a very small
sum.
1t is understood that the capital stock
in fine articles of corporation will he placed
at 300. 600. but under the general law the
capital stock can be increased to any desired
amount. and it is estimated that the plant,
TO give at least 5000 horsepower will
require an OUTLAY of about two million
dollars. 1t is not the intention, it is under
stood to compete for street lighting, but to
supplv mower for manufacturing purposes
only. although the time may come, 1t is
intimated. when all the street cars in the
city. and all the electricity required for any
,,,,rnnSn will come from thp banks of the
Susquehanna river.

KITCHEN HINTS.

If cake is to be baked in sheets and not
to be iced sprinkle powdered sugar over it
before putting it into the oven. This will
give smooth, sugary crust.
In warming over potatoes or in using
them in salad there is an objection to Il
very mealy potato. German potatoes are
sold in large cities for these purposes. They
are small and, like new potato, will
not crumbe if cut into cubes or in slices.
If these potatoes cannot be obtained use
mealy potatoes, but have them under
