THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Tilt Between AIdrfch and Vest-Se,
eraI Amendments

WASHINGTON May 15.-At the opening
Of the session of the Senate to-day Mr..
Allen introduced and asked for the imme-
date consideration of a resolution calling
upon the Secretary of the Treasury for in
formation as to the total number of per-
sons engaged in protected industries; the
number Of such persons whose wages are
not affected; also the proportion of the
population Of the United States dependent
upon the foreign market for the sale of
their products; also the number Of persons
engaged in protected Industries who are
native citizens; the number naturalized and
the number who are aliens; also the pro-
portion of native or naturalized citizens
who are being displaced by aliens.
Ar. Chandler asked that the resolution
go over till tomorrow. Meantime he sug-
gested that Mr.. Allen investigate TO ascer-
tain whether it was possible for the Sec
rotary of the Treasury TO comply with
such request. He did not think that the
Treasury Department was in possession of
such data as was desired by the resolution.
MI. Allen called attention to the fact that
a similar resolution had been. passed in
1856. The resolution went over.
~ bill TO place Dunbar r. Ransom on
the retired list of the army as a captain
was passed. also q bill defining and perma-
nently fixing the northern boundary CT the
Warm Springs Indian reservation in Ore
gon. A bill providing for a naval train
ing station or the Pacific coast met with
the opposition of Messrs. Mitchell ana
Squire. because the bill specified San Fran
cisco harbor as the location Of the s.a-
ton.
Tn tariff bin was taken up at noon.
Three items in the chemical schedule were
passed and then Mr.. A.drich broke in with
an amendment 10 place a duty of 10 per
cent. On coal tar products. 1t was de-
feated.
Discussion arose over a report presented
by Mr.. VOORHEES, showing the revenue
which would be raised under the bill as il
passed the House, and also as modified by
the pending Senate amendments, based
upon last years inportatIons. Mr.. Allison
complained that the report presented by
Mr.. Voorhees, was not an estimate at all
Ii was, he said, an exact computation OF
the revenue to be raised under a proposed
bill based upon a former law.
Mr.. Aldrich declared that Senators on
the other side, responsible for legislation.

raised by this bill. II they had II was
clearly their duty TO present their ideas
on this subject to the Senate.

1t was entirely Inadequate to the offense.
1t is the belief of many people that when

now customary they viii exercise greater
self-ccntrol and be less given to reckless

the tendency is more and more in the d.

however, that if the jag is merely a mani
festation of disease there is a time, prevl-

Trouble May BE Averted.

WASHINGTON. May 15.-If the Nicara-
guan government carries out it's agreement
with Minister Baker, the incident growing
out of the murder of William Wilson, an
American citizen, living at Rama, will be
peaceably and satisfactorily settled. Will
son was murdered without provocation by
Arguelas. then Governor of Rama. Appar-
entity. the Nicaraguan government felt that
il had done all that was necessary in depos-
ing Arguelas. Upon the urgent representa-
tions of Captain Watson the Nicaraguans
finally arrested and confined the murderer.
but with that Nicaraguan justice seemed to
have exhausted itself. Acting under Sec
rotary Gresham's Instructions Minister
Baker insisted that Arguelas be promptly
tried for murder and be punished sufficient
ly if found guilty. In addition the Minister
held that Arguelas had been sheltered by
Torree, his successor, as Governor of Rama.
and that the latter, having failed in his
duty, should be likewise punished. Minis
ter Baker now reports TO the Department
of State that the Nicaraguan government
has met his demands in a friendly spirit
and promised to bring the men to prompt
trial.

a Reduction of s1,2os,es7.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
wa completed by the appropriations COM
mittee to-day. 1t carried the salaries of
all government officers for the coming
year. The whole amount recommended in
the bill is S21, 101. S23, being a reduction
under the estimates of s1,2oS.6S7 and a re-
duction under the appropriation act for
the current year of s766,199. The whole
number of salaries specifically provided
for in the bill is 10.11O. being 363 less than
the number estimated for and 55s less than
the number provided for in the law for the
current year. The reorganization of the
Treasury Department or the basis recon-
mended by the Dockery commission is a
feature of the bill. 1t reduces the treas

Another new feature of the bill is the pro-
vision for printing ten thousand copies of
