IN THE SENATE.

washington, May S-There was prom
ise of an electrical display in the sem
ate when that body met today. The
Republicans were active and disposed
to ask some embarrassing questions
concerning compromise amendments
offered to the tariff bill yesterday. SEN
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts, took the
floor on the tariff bill. Toward the close
of his speech Hoar succeeded in arous-
ing the ire of Gray. He was talking
about the methods used by so-called
conservative Democratic senators to Sc
cure concessions in the form Of higher
duties, and concluded his statement by
declaring that Democratic senator's who
would support a compromise bill agreed
upon by Democratic caucus would
violate the constitution and their oaths.
This brought Gray to his feet. He
demanded to know what the Massachu-
setts senator meant by such charge-a
charge which. he said, twas unworthy
of Hoar"
Hoar waved the Delaware senator
aside. "He would refuse to yield to
him., he said,
But Gray insisted upon an explana-
ton
"very WELL" said Hoar. II cannot be
intimidated by little bluster, but l
will explain. l meant to say that for a
Democrat, who subscribed to the doc
trine of the Chicago platform that tariff
for protection was robbery; one who
went to the people affirming his allegi-
ance to that platform. and who now
comes here seeking protective duties,
say that for such senator there is no
escape from the logic that he has vio-
lated both his senatorial oath and the
constitution"
! After further controversy between
Gray and Hoar and some remarks by
| Palmer, of Illinois, the discussion was
closed by the venerable senator from
Vermont, Mr.. Morrill,. When the au-
thor of the war tariff, white-haired and
bent with age, arose in his place, a
smile was playing about the corners OF
his lips. AS he had on previous occa-
sions said something in derogation OF
the Democratic tariff measure, he de-
sired now to say something in approba-
tion. The 400 amendments to the tariff
bill offered yesterday showed that, after
listening to the Republican speeches fol
six weeks, the Democratic senator's had
learned something. If the tariff bill
was laid aside for a month and that
time were devoted to the study by hi:
| friends on the other side Of the cham
ber, he thought at the end of that time
they would bring in a bill which would
be perfectly acceptable to the Repub
licans. and which would pass the sen
ate unanimously The senatei seemet

Port Townsend. May S.-There is good
reason to believe that Capt. Clark. the
commander of the Behring Sea fleet, has
received Instructions to delay sailing
for tie north for two or three weeks. II
is said that since the British govern
ment has decided to heartily cooperate
in the work of suppressing illegal seal
ing, and has dispatched men-of-war to
the north to warn Canadian sealers, the
authorities at Washington have decided
it is unnecessary to send so large a
fleet north. 1t is quite probable num-
ber of the vessels here will be ordered
to q southern station.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Report for the Pacific Coast for the
Past Week,

Washington, May S.-The weather bu'
reau, in its report of the weather and
crop conditions for the week ending
May 7, says: The week was cool on the
Pacific Coast, except over the interior
valleys, where the heat and dry weather
proved unfavorable to hay grain and
pastures. There was a total absence OF
rain in California, with light showers
on the North Pacific Coast. In Colorado
the season has been unusually dry, and
small grain and pastures have been
very much damaged by the drought,
but the North Pacific Coast has been
favored and there has been slight ex-
cess of rainfall over Washington and
Oregon.

which comes from Washington to
the effect that Mr.. Cleveland Is
strongly urging harmony among the

this that Mr.. Cleveland does not
hold himself responsible for the dis

finds itself As peacemaker Mr..

Governor Waite, in his open letter to
