WASHINGTON. June 29.-At the opening
of the Senate to-day the joint resolution
appoint ting Charles N. Anderson of Green
Vile, Ohio; Sidney G. Cooke of Herring
ton, Kans., and A. L. Pearson of Pitts
burg members of the board of managers
Of the National Home for Disabled Volun-
teers was passed
Sherman's resolution of yesterday direct
Ing the Committee on Interstate Com
merce to inquire into the advisability OF
regulating by law the use Of sleeping or
parlUr cars was also adopted.
The tariff bill was taken up and Vest
moved an amendment to the clause repeal
Ing the reciprocity feature of the Mckinley
bill. Agreed to.
Jones then asked unanimous consent to
make a number of amendments overlooked
as the bill was being considered. The
amendments were agreed to as fast as read
Most of them were very important The
tariff bill was reported 10 the Senate at :45
Senator Harris was so much under the
influence of liquor to-day that he dis
graced himself. His articulation was
thick. his words caustic and his manner
vehement. He moved to lay the Senator
from Kansas on the table. The Democrats
were anxious to adjourn over till Monday
for reasons best known TO themselves, but
Harris would not consent. To humor him
and prevent a scene they voted down Man
dersen's motion to adjourn until Monday.
Afterward. in executive session, when
there was no one in the galleries to observe
Harris, Manderson's motion was reeonsid-
cred and passed.
Senator Blanchard is making consider
, able trouble for the Finance Committee
by his protests against the proposed
changes in the sugar schedule. The
Louisiana statesman is holding out es-
pecially for the continuation of the bounty
for the present year. He also calls atten-
tien tothe fact that the Finance Commit
tee has backed out of its original
proposition to abrogate the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty, which ad-
mits the sugar product OF that country
30 free entry and is reported as saying the
sugar producers Of his State would be
greatly injured by the sudden reduction of
the bounty as proposed by the committee.
He has put forth the claim that the pro-
posed change is in violation of the Demo-
cratic caucus agreement, and intimates in
very plain language that if the changes
are made as proposed the bill will not re-
ceiye his support.
Senator White believes the tariff will get
into conference by Wednesday. The Sen
ate conferee will probably be Voorhees,,
Vest. Jones. Aldrich and Allison, if the
membership consists of five. as seems
proba bic, but If there are seven members,
as in the case Of the Mckinley bill, Harris
and Sherman will be added. 1t is remarked
by Californians that there will be no
representative of their State, nor of the
entire Pacific Coast on the conference
committee of either the Senate or the
House. so if there is any disposition to
change the fruit or wine schedule there
will be nc one on the committee to speak for
California. Whites appointment on the
Finance Committee, to succeed Vance.
has not yet been made, though
it may be. 1t is remarkable
fact that on neither the Finance
nor Ways and Means Committee is there
a Senator or Representative from west
of the Missouri River with the exception
eff Bryan Of Omaha. just across the bridge
Concerning the pro ba BILE changes iu the
tariff bill as it was reported to the Senate
to-day, II may be said that the chances are
that protection on refined sugar will be
eliminated In the House and in conference,
but the bill will 90 through despite the
. Louisiana Senators.
