HILL EXPLAINS

why He offered HIS Resoiutfon-The
Country Tired of Inaction.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-In explaining
his course today Senator Hill said:
"My object in offering the resolution
was to expedite the disposition OF the
tariff bill. Every days delay is inju-
rious to the business interests of the
country. and the bill should be disposed
of at once one way or tho other. 1t has
now been under consideration in confer
ence committee for over month, and
further delay is absolutely inex-
cusable. The conferees ought
to know each others minds
by this time, and If they cannot agree
the TACT Of such q disagreement should
be reported to the two houses. When
no understanding can be reached on a
bill, congress should promptly adjourn
and give the country rest. We have
now been in session for nearly q whole
year, and have had ample opportunity
to legislate. A senator or member who
does not know exactly what he wants to
do on the tariff question, after all the
time spent in useless deliberation, is
unfit to represent any constituency.
1--WE have deliberated enough; we
want action.
Congress must rouse from its leth-
argy and should act in accordance with
the public sentiment and not in defiance
OF it. Either pass the tariff bill at once
or adjourn and go home. These are my
sentiments, and I believe they are the
sentiments of nine tenths of the people
OF both parties"

Three Lon g-sought Projects mt Last
Provided For.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 10.-The river and
harbor appropriation bill, which has
been agreed to in both houses, provides
for three new projects which have long
been sought by the senators who have
the credit OF securing their adoption.
They are boat railroad to overcome
the obstruction at The Dslles. on the
Columbia river, in Oregon and Washing
ton; another for 8 canal to connect
Lakes Union and Washington with Pu-
get sound and the third to begin the con.
structon of q lock in the Mississippi
river between st. Paul and Minneapolis
to open navigation to the last named
place.
The railway project contemplates a
hydraulic lift to raise steamboats, out OF
the water, placing them upon tram
way car running upon eight or more
tracks, Transporting them IL miles and
returning them to the water. The esti-
mated cost is $2.G00,000.
The canal which IL to connect the wa
ters Of Puget sound with the fresh wa.
ters Of Lakes Union and Washington. il
is Understood, will be of great CONNER
cial benefit, because it will give ships an
opportunity to anchor in fresh water
after long voyages ia the Pacific. An
other benefit ia to be gained by having
naval vessels, while not in commission,
stationed in the fresh water.

points since July lat. The average for
the entire breadth is 695 against 95 for

silver cup valued at $500. Mr.. J. r.
Maxwell, who owns the Emerald, has a
much larger cup, under the same condi-

Goelet cups. The course was SO miles.
OF the eloope, the Glorana was the
fret to cross the line at 20 "a, closely
followed by Queen NAB, Wasp, Navahoe
and The Idelerm, in the order named,
and with very little difference in time.
The Navahoe began to show her wind
ward qualities at once, rapidly pressing
her rivals. The Queen Nab was close
second, holding up to windward we'll.
The Navshoe made the three long legs
and rounded the first stakeboat 2 min
utes ahead OF Queen NAB, which was 6
minutes ahead OF the Emerald.
On the second leg the Navaboe, fol-
lowed by the other yacts, set her spin
maker and started for stake No. 2. She
showed her speed here also, and quickly
opened up the space between her and
the second boat On this leg the schoon-
er Emerald passed the Wasp and secured
the lead, which practically gave her the
prize in her class. The Navahos also
won her race at this point.
Queen Nab made a plucky race, how.
ever, and allowed no other boat to pass
her. At s :07 the Navahoe rounded the
mark at West island and started at race
horse speed for the finish line, giving
several of the small steam yachts good
race. She finished at 1876 80 amid

THE CHINESE TREATY.

Three Hours Devoted to Its Considera-
tion by tho Senate.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE senate de-
voted almost three hours to the consid-
GRAFTON OF the Chimes treaty in executive
session today and adjourned with the
understanding that q vote should be
taken Monday Immediately after the
reading of the journal. The entire SEES
sion was devoted to speeches
on the merits OF the treaty,
in which Senator Gray, as
acting chairman OF the committee on
foreign relations, led in favor OF the rati-
tication of the treaty. Senators Palmer
and Mitchell also participated in the
debate. Mr.. Palmer spoke for the rati.
fcation of the treaty and Mr.. Mitchell
against. The California senators took
opposite grounds, Mr.. Perkins antag-
izing and Mr.. White supportingit.
The herald., 1894-08-11

With today's proceeding n were the votes
Of such senators az A lien, Blanchard,
Gibson, Murphy, Palmt VI and Pugh in
favor Of the considerat. xon OF the Hill
resolution, the etatemen t OF Harris as to
the points OF difference in the confer
ence, and promise of 'enator Vest to
give all the facts in det all II the Hill
RESOLUTION should pass.
The unexpected turn OF affairs in the
senate brought out much comment from
members of the house, and with few ex-
ceptions it was favorable to the move
urged BY Senators Hill antl Aldrich for
getting the bill out of conf erence. Sew
oral leading members of th q house said
they would urge similar ssoutions in
in the house if the house csmmittee on
rules would permit. The belief, how
ever, 10 that unanimous consent would
be required and this conditi On could not
be hoped for.
One Of the house conferees said at the
close OF the exciting senate deoate, that
If the members were anxious TO Kill the
tariff bill they had chosen the right
course in supporting Hill's resolution.
This conferee expressed doubt whether
the conference would reasserable today.
or pending the action OF the senate on
the Hill and Aldrich resolution.
Some discussion occurred among the
senators after the senate went into
executive session. and the opinion was
expressed that tomorrow disagreement
would be reported. 1t was said that the
senate conierees left the conference
room today feeling that no course but
disagreement was possible.
Among the votes of the senators
whose names are given in detail there ls
et least large sprinkling of Democrats
who have grown impatient at the delay
/ conference, and there is a growing
sentiment for disposition OF the Quass-
tion in some way at the earliest pracIsi-
cable time.
What effect the proceedings will have
upon the house or the house conierre es
is q matter of speculation. This fote-
moons conference was brief, and ALL
that can be learned is that it failed OF
sn agreement. There are those
about the senate in post ION
to know all that is to be known, who
predict protracted continuance OF con-
ferences, but the temper of the senate is
at present decidedly against any fur ther
great delay and dissgreslng report
within the next few days is freely pre-
dicted.
The Republicans claim that the bill is
in very critical situation, and most OF
them look for an indefinite postpone
ment in the near future.
Senator Hill expects his resolution to
be adopted tomorrow by practically the
same vote that was cast today against
going into executive session.
