END OF THE SENATE FIGHT.
The Tariff Bill Passed by a Vote
Of 80 10 81.

passed by a vote Of 80 TO Ex-senator Hill
voting against it, The two Louisiana sen
ators could have done the same, and yet
the bill would have ridden to anchor
AT the last Senator German came out in
the lead and tried TO pass it without the
aid of the populists. At tho close
he made the finance committee repu-
diate their promises made to Senator
Allen about barbed wire fencing and
passed the word along the line TO turn
the populisists down and force the pas
sage by strictly democratic vote Sena-
tors Allen and Kyle, however, voted for
the measure. Senator Hill was the only
democrat who faced the furies and cast
his vote in the negative.
Senator Gordon was not present when
the vote was taken but was paired
Senator Walsh was due in New York
tonight, but remained over to cast mis-
vote in the Affirmative. He left on the
midnight train, and will speak before
Tammany hall tomorrow.
Representatives Turner and Black
watched the Senate proceedings through,
and were present at the final vote.
AS predicted in these dispatches over
two weeks ago, the Senate conference
committee consists of Senators Voorhees,,
Vest, Jones and Harris, dems., and Sena-
tors Aldrich, Allison and Sherman, reps
From the House there will be Repre-
sontatiyes Wilson, McMillin or Bynum
Breckinridge. Turner or Montgomery
At the close of the final scenes in the
tariff drama the galleries We're crowded,
and for a time there was enthusiasm
equal to that of the last day of the bill in
the south.
CLOSE CALL FROM DEFEAT.
1t was no secret among those who had
tho confidence of the leaders on the re
publican side that they expected to de
feat the tariff bill, ana that they figured
on ma Orlty of one vote against it, The
first break on the democratic side came
when the name of Senator Cafery was
called and he responded with an empha-
tic no" His colleague, Senator Blauch-
ard did not respond TO his name at all
when it was called Senator Irby, it was
claimed, had promised TO vote against the
bill, but when his name was called
he responded in the Affirmative, and all
hope OF defeating the bill vanished. Sen
ator Caffery then, after n brief explana-
tion and protest against the way his
people had been treated, changed his vote
TO one in favor of the bill and Senator
Blanchard voted in the same way Had
Senator Irby stood by the combination.
with the two Louisiana senator's the
vote would have been 81 TO 36 against the
bill
THE LAST DAYS sKIRMIsH.
BY the Southern Associated Press
Washington, July 3.-The Senate met
at 10 a. IN. in continuation of yesterdays
legislative session by virtue of the re-
cess taken last night. That obviated all
the delays incident to the formalities of
regular opening Of new day. The tariff
bin was taken up at once, and acting on
the amendments of the committee
of the whole occupied the whole
of to-days session. First came
the motion made by Mr.. Mills Mon
day evening to place buraps and grain
bags made therefrom on the free list. 1t
was carried by a vote of 2s to II.
Next came the famous collars and
cuffs amendment fixing the duty on
those articles at 80 cents per dozen and 30
per cent ad valorem, and on shirts at 50
per cent, equivalent, according TO a state
ment made by MIR. Chandler, to an ad
valorem rate OF from 50 10 l25 per cent.
That amendment was agreed TO after
couple OF satirica speeches directed
against the junior senator from New
ork, Mr.. Murphy, by vote of 43 to 3.
THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Then the great wool schedule came up
for action, M. sherman Offering an
amendment to place wool on the dutiable
list at 80 per cent. al Yalorem. The long
est discussion Of the day took place on
this proposition appeals being made by
republican senators TO dGmocrtic senator's
from the wool producing states to supply
even two votes for tue amendment which
would be enough with the pOpUlis5 yoLCs
TO carry it, Fut these appeals fell on
deaf ears There was not a single deser-
tion from the democratic ranks on the
question Of wool. The two populis; sena-
tors, who usually act with the democrats
-Mcssrs. Allen and KYle-did not vote
and the amendment was defeated yeas
~ nays 81. And so wool remains on the
free list.
