the request. This did not satisfy Mr.. Har-
ris. He was in favor of adopting more he
roic measures. He moved to compel the
attendance of the absentees.
At 1920, after sitting for 11% hours and
after some very sharp and plain talk on
both sides, the Republicans succeeded in
forcing an adjournment, although the bat
tie was in reality a drawn one. A COM
promise had been practically agreed upon
before adjournment by which the sessions
of the senate are to begin at 10 O'Clock
after Monday.
In the House.
A fiIibuster on a question of limiting de-
bate on an amendment consumed about
two hours in the house. The most i'm
portant amendment adopted was to restore
the appropriation for investigating the
production of textile fibers, and, $500 hav-
ing already been appropriated by an
amendment before adopted to continue the
Investigations into the production of fax
and hemp in Washington, the sum of 81
200 was added yesterday for introducing
the Chinese plant ramie, SO that the total
appropriation for the study of textile
fibers is brought up to $1,000, as in the bill
for the current year
Considerable discussion followed the
reading of the paragraph relating to the
question of irrigation, but no change was
made. The bill as amended was favorably
reported to the house and passed.
Mr. Bryan's Retirement.
WASHINGTON, May l8.-Representative
William J. Bryan of the First Nebraska
district has sent a letter to the chairman
of his congressional committee, Judge j.
H. Broadly of Lincoln, declining to be a
candidate for reelection. His reasons for
retiring from congressional life are that
he is unwilling to enter into a contest
which, to be waged successfully, would
conffne him to his district during the cam
palgn. In his letter to Judge Broadly he
expressed some doubts as to the future of
the Democratic party, saying eff the
presidents financial policy becomes the
policy of the party, do not see any reason
for the continued existence of the party,
because the Repu blicans, having followed
that policy longer, are better prepared
than we to support it. On the other hand,
if the party repudiates Mr.. Cleveland's
financial policy and renews its devotion to
the common people, it may yet become an
effective instrument in the securing of
good government" Mr.. Bryan states
that he will resume his law practice in the

Defeat Mr.. Harris Scheme, and the Fight
Charges.
WASHINGTON, May 18-Interest in the
tariff debate in the senate was overshad-
owed by the debate on the Lodge resolu-
ton to investigate the charges of attempted
senatorial bribery and the charges that
the sugar schedule of the tariff bill had
been fixed in the interest of the Sugar
trust in return for a half million dollar
contribution alleged to have been made by
the trust to the Democratic campaign
fund. There seems to be a unanimous
sentiment in the senate in favor of the
passage of the resolution. At least no op-
position to it was developed.
III fact, the disposition was to broaden
it, and it wAs amended SO as to include
charges that senators had specialized in
sugar stock and in several other particu-
lars, and it was passed as amended with
out division.
From IL o'clock until half past the tar
iff debate dragged along, Mr.. Gallinger
holding the floor for two hours and Mr.
Higgins for two hours and half. Then
after an hour and half's work, during
which time only Is more paragraphs of the
chemical schedule. comprising two pages
Gratis concluded to change their tactics.
Night Session Begins.
Progress under the system under which
the senate had been operating seemed i'm
possible, and they decided that the time
had come to adopt coercive methods. Mr.
Harris, the floor manager of the tariff bill,
moved that the senate take recess until
the next morning, with the intention Of
continuing the legislative day and forcing
the consideration of the tariff bill to the
exclusion of all other legislative business.
This meant the inauguration of the pol
icy of duress that made famous the strug-
gle over the federal elections bill, the bill
to repeal the Sherman law and all other
big legislative contests in the senate.
The Republicans, under the leadership
of Mr.. Henderson, resisted, vain1y protest
ing that they did not seek to delay action
on the tariff bill. They used the usual fill
clustering methods, breaking quorum by
refusing to vote, although certain of their
western colleagues declined to join in the
filibuster. The struggle continued until
almost midnight, when the Republicans
won.
1t was almost o'clock when Mr.. Harris
who is in charge of the tariff bill, moved
that the senate take a recess until IL
o'clock Friday morning. In making the
motion he gave notice that he would, as
soon as the senate reconvened today, move
to proceed with the tariff bill.
Mr.. Henderson moved that the senate
adjourn, and the latter's motion took pre-
cedence. 1t was lost by a strictly party
vote-13 to 80. Messrs. Allen and PEI
fer, Populists, voted with the Democrats
The vote then required on Mr.. Harris mo-
ton. Before the motion was put Mr..
onH nfforaH oO0oD6-
ment to it. He was not one of those he
declared, who could be ranked as seeking
to delay action on this bill. He refused to
be ranked as filibuster.

on Saturday evening was a very in

spite the prevailing snow storm the
church was filled with an appreCiative
audience who were lavish in their
praise of the exercises. The program
consisted Of recitations, responsive
readings, class and concert exercises,
together with music, both vocal and
instrumental in carols, hymns, solos,
duets by the choir, and classes of the
Sunday School. Messrs Sutton, Lau-
bach, Cox and Kline of Benton, and

valuable assistance in the musical de

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. I, 1894

NAShlNGION, an. 1, 1894
President Cleveland, the members
of his cabinet and the ladies of their
families, in accordance with a custom
as old as our government, devoted
New Years day to receptions, official
and general. For about four hours a
procession composed of the diplomatic
representatives of all foreign govern
ments, members of the cabinet, the
justices of the Supreme Court, Con-
gressmen, Army and Navy officers,
minor officials and the general public
poured through the White House
where they were received by President
Cleveland assisted by Mrs. Cleveland.
Mrs, Stevenson, the ladies of the cabi.
net and several guests of Mrs. Cleve-
land, including the wife of ex-Gov.
Russell of Massachusetts, and Miss
Benedict. of N. Y. Later, receptions
were held at their several residences
by Vice President and Mrs. Steven
son. and by members of the cabinet
and the ladies of their families.
Nearly all the congressman have re-
turned. There was quorum of both
House and Senate at the White House
reception today. BY freely circula.
ting among the returned members of
the House your correspondent endea-
vored to ascertain whether conference
with their constituents had increased
or decreased the opposition to the
Wilson tariff bill. In one respect it is
apparent that it has increased it. That
is, there are more democrats who will
endeavor to secure, in the caucus to
be held, notifications of various claus
es of the bill. But, as nearly all of
them announce while stating their in
tentions that they will, whether sue
cessful in getting The bill modified OF
not, support the bill, it is clear that
their opposition does not go beyond
that which it is perfectly legitimate for
strict party men to occupy towards a
party measure not yet approved by a
party caucus, and does not jeopardize
the final success of the bill as approx
ed by the caucus
Senator VOORHEES, is getting heavy
mail these days, and not few of his
letters contain requests for hearings
on the tariff before the Senate Finance
committee of which he is chairman
None of these letters have been speci
fcally answered, because he believes
that a circular letter which he is now
having sent out, containing thirty ode
printed questions and requesting re
| ply to each, will enable nine-tenths ol
his correspondents to lay before the
committee all the information IN thei
possession relating to the effects o
tariff upon their business just as wei
as they could if given personal hear
ing, 1t is not his desire to cut an,
one out of hearing and those desiring
10 furnish information not embraced
