voted to a skillful parliamentary 7truggIe
between those for and against the tariff
bill. 1t resulted in an agreement to con-
tlnue the arrangement of last week for
debate until Tuesday of next week, when
the bill will be taken up and rediscussed
by paragraphs.
Very little change has been effected by
this agreement, as speeches may be made
by senators after the first paragraph is
read until they are ready to have it acted
upon. The Republicans were anxious to
make certain that nothing by an ambigu-
GUS wording might be construed as limit
ing the length of speeches or the debate
on any paragraph or amendment.
Senator Hill would not consent to the
agreement until it was made plain that
he would not bS deprived of making
motion to consider the free list. Senator
Harris, in charge OF the bill, believing
that majority of the senate would not
consent to turn the bill around, did not
object to this understanding.
Two speeches were made on the tariff
bill, Senator McLauren of Mississippi ia
voring the bill, and especially the income
tax, and Senator Smith of New Jersey
making a vigorous onslaught upon the
income tax feature. Both were Demo-
Gratis and each represented his section of
the country in his remarks, and showed
the different views of the party in the
senate on the pending bill.
Senator Hale introduced a bill appro-
priating S95, 0O0 to pay the iron works at
Bath, Me-, the premium earned in con-
structing the gunboats Castine and
Machias.
1t was expected that the Chinese treaty
would be considered, but in an early ex-
ecutive session the senate postponed the
consideration until May 3.

tracted such crowds of buyers ever since it
commenced, the firm placed on sale gigantic
special purchase of this seasons jackets aud
capes for ladies' and children's wear.
This purchase, comprising over 5000 gar

caused less eDteTpriSIng ttm TO hesitate, but
quantity is minor consideration with the

right, for they enjoy trade that enables them to

and Ia turn can be sold for.
The purchase was made by the firms cloak
