WASHINGTON, May The senate again
proceeded with the tariff bill yesterday
The second amendment on the hrst page
Of the bill Is the ostensible su bieot Of dis
eussion, although the first (hxing the
date on which the bill shall 90 into effect)
was not disposed Of, but simply passed
over. The debate has not yet touched
the pending amendments II Is all Of 3
general nature. What effect khe intro
duetion of the ''compromise Amendments"
will have on the present struggle was not
developed, The Republicans showed no
signs Of yielding. They still present their
unbroken front. The Democrats have
changed their tactics notioeably They
propose to force the Republicans to do
all the talking il 1t is to bo fight against
time. r........ ...
The Democrats mutely endured the
goading from their adversaries almost all
day rather than enter into the controver-
sizes in which the thrusts are designed to
involve them Gray. OF Delaware, at last
could not refrain from jumping into the
arena when Senator Hoar, in the course OF
his speech, charged Democrats who sup
| ported any measure which admitted the
| principle OF protection with being false 60
their Oaths and to the constitution A
very spirited clash between Messrs HoaI
and Gray followed. The storm ashed the
waves Of the serene senate into some
thing of a fury, and before quiet was re-
stored Senators Palmer, Hale and Morrill,
| became involved This was the only
marked feature Of the days proceedings
| The remainder Of the day until the senate
went into executive session was occupied
by Mr.. Quay in continuation Of his seria
| speech.
Senators Aldrich and Allison, who ar'
regarded as in charge of the Republican
side of the tariff bill, yesterday said tC
Senator Harris that they were in posi-
tion to state that for the present the Re
| publicans would observe the understand
ing in force before the suspension of thu
tariff debate, to allow the Democrats *
bring in their compromise bill, and Mr.
Harris, acting for the Democrats agreed
TO the proposition, with the stipulation
that the speech making should proceed il
a business like manner, that there shoul'
be no dilatory motions. This Rgreemen
is likely to be broken at almost any time
The Democrats are beginning TO complain
that some of the speeches made on the Re
publican side are longer than need be, ant
intimate tina, If their opponents do no
soon manifest q disposition to shorter
their speeches they will give them NOR
hours daily in which to make them.
The true reason for the reticence anon
Republic ans as to their intentions
found in the TACT that they are not yet at
solutely satisfied rs to the strength Of tn
compromise. They still cling to the idei
that a sufficient number of the Demo
cratic senators will repudiate the bill t
insure its defeat, and they do not care t
yield as long as this possibility exist
They are also discussing the advisabilit
J Of holding out indefinitely against the bi
in case they find they are in the minorit!
= Some Of them think II this course coul
be adopted they would secure the NOR
support of some Democratic senators VIII
might vote for the bill if the voting stag
should once be reached. The idea OF secu
ing the assistance of the Louisiana sci
ators in the effort to defend the bill hl
not yet been entirely abandoned on Il
Republican side. Hr
J Capitol is one to the effect that Senate
Hill is contemplating a motion to recon
NIT the bill, with instructions to the cor
mittee to strike out the income tax. Sen
tor Hill, when asked as to the truth of tt
rumor, declined to discuss it. 1t was III
j ticeable, however, that he spent more
less time during the day on the Republ
u can side, and Republican senators wit
! whom ne tn kad say that he discussed II
shortcomings of the bill quite freely
> The bill for the erection of a publ
+ printing Office in Washington occupi'
the attention during the greater part
s the day in the house. Mr.. Holman's res
$ luton to refer the question to commi
) sion, to consist of the committee on pu
. lie buildings and grounds with instru
d tions to select site on ground now owni
by the government, was passed
8uad for slandar.
