THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Senator Villas, OF Wisconsin, Takes
the Floor in Defense of the
President.
Bitter Denunciation of Senator Gormar
and Others-Dramatio Scenes
Outcome in Doubt.

Washington, July 26.-Judge Carroll
D. Wright, commissioner of labor, whom
the president has selected as chairman OF
the arbitration committee, said to-day
that pending consultation with his col
leagues no plans had been mapped out
for the work of that body. 1t is expected
that the three commissioners will hold a
meeting within a week, but 80 far the
place Of holding the sessions has not been
selected.
JAPANESE MINISTER RECALLED.
M. Tateno, the Japanese minister to
the United States, has been recalled. The
recall, it is stated, is due not to any
thing connected with present Japanese
Corean- Chinese difficulty, but is owing to
matters growing out of recent treaty ne
gotiations. Minister Kueno, an expert
enced diplomat, has been appointed to
succeed him. This change was made on
account of the dissatisfaction at the
manner in which Minister Tatepo con-
Quoted the negotiations with the Wash
ington government looking to the modi-
fication of the extra territorial treaties.
TARIFF DEBATE POSTPONED.
The tariff debate will not be resumed
till p. IN. At that time it is expected
that Senator Villas will take the floor and
announce the withdrawal of the motion
he offered when the disagreement was re-
ported to striking out the one-eighth diff
ferential on refined sugars.
Senator Villas after explaining why he
thinks the differential should be stricken
out, says that the conference bill can't 90
back to the conference with such instruc-
tions and thinks it the duty of Democrats
to make every
ETPORT TO PASS A TARIFF BILL.
The Democrats will not debate the
proposition to return the bill to the con-
ference.
Senators Lindsay and Mill, who In
tended to talk on the subject say that
they will not make any speeches and are
ready for vote.
The position the Republicans will take
has not been determined and the post
ponement till o'clock of the consldera-
tion of the tariff is for the purpose OF
giving them an opportunity to decide on
what they will do.
CONFERENCE REPORT CALLED UP.
At 2 O'Clock Senator Jones called up
the conference report on the tariff bill
Senator Villas was Immediately recog-
nized, but yielded to Senator Quay, who
withdrew the sugar amendment he Of
ferred just before the Adjournment yes
terday. The Wisconsin senator began
his speech by saying that an extraordi-
nary scene occurred on Monday last
in the senate. A Democratic senator, he
said, mad seen fit to attack the president.
This was without precedent, he thought,
| or if there was precedent it was cne
that ought to be stunned instead of fol-
lowed. It was personal
ASSAULT UPON THE PRESIDENT
and his character. He hoped, he said
that the remarks of Senator German
and those who Joined him on that occa
sion would have appeared in the Record
before he (Mr. vilas) replied. But ht
went on sarcastically. He presumed that
the engagements of the Maryland senator
we're so pressing that he had no time te
advise them. Senator Villas considered
it his duty to reply to that assault.
DOUBTFUL WHETHER STEWART WOULD voTI
| WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
There is little hope that the Republi
cans of the senate will be able to strike
out the one-eighth differential on sugar
even if they would all vote for it. 1t il
understood that Mr.. Stewart (Populist o
