The Senate Took II Ensx.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The seat

with some modification and the bill
sent back to conference.

Surrender of the Democrats of
the Lower Branch.
CLOSING SCENES EXCITING
Wilson Made an oquent Speech, Which
Was Repeatedly Interrupted by
Enthusiastic Applause.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The long
struggle over the tariff bill came to a
close at o'clock this evening, when
the house by vote of 1872 to los de-
cided to discharge the house conferrees
from further consideration of the bill,
recede from its opposition to
the 694 senate amendments aud
agree to the same. 1t was
a complete victory for the senate.
The house made an absolute surrender.
The result grew directly out of the
sensational course OF events at the sem
ate end of the capitol, precipitated 10y
Senator Hill on Friday. Up to that
time, the house conferrees had
stood firmly Against the senate amend
ments, especially on three disputed
schedules, coal. iron and sugar, and the
temper and voice of the house was for
war-war to the end. The democratic
couferTees of the house at last admitted
that they were beaten and that another
vote could not be risked in the senate.
that it must be either the senate DILL or
no bill.
The whole question was precipitated
at the caucus held just before The house
convened today, at which, after
thorough review of the situation and
spe sches in favor of receding by
Speaker Crisp, Chairman Will
son and others. it was de-
cided to take the senate bill
and Immediately afterward pass sepa-
rate bills placing coal, iron ore, sugar
and barbed wire on the free list, and
by so doing place the house on record,
and at least partially overcome the
humiliation involved in its defeat.
The scenes in the chamber through !
out the day and evening were exciting
and at times sensational. The gal !
leries We're packed and the members |
applauded aud cheered their respec i've |
leaders to the echo.
The principal speeches for and |
against the main proposition were
made by Chairman Wilson and |
Speaker Crisp on the one hand, and |
eX-SpeakeI Reed and Mr.. Burrows on
the other. There was no time for |
preparation and all the speeches were
hot from the forge of the brain, and |
were greeted with rounds of cheers |
and applause.

Forced to Accept the Senate Tariff Bill
Without Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-When the
house met five minutes after the dem
Ocratic caucus adjourned, the menu ers
were standing about in excited groups,
discussing the resolution. Under the
rules MIR. Hurd, chairman of the COM
mittee On the District Of Columbia,
pending action by the committee of
rules, claimed the day for business re-
ported from the District of Colu mbia.
AT 2:20 the COMMITTEES on rules ended
its conference and MIR. Catchings of
Mississippi entered the hall with a
special order in hand. Mr.. Hardy
called to him and Mr.. Catchings pre-
sented a rule. which was as follows:

this resolution it shall be in order in

tofore made requesting the conference
with the senate on the disagreeiug
votes of the two houses on house rule

heretofore appointed on the part of the
house be discharged from further duty
in that behalf, and that the house re-
cede from its disagreement to the sem
ate amendments to said bill in gross
and agree TO the same; that two hours
be given for debate on said motion, and
it shall he advisable that a vote be
taken without delay or other motion.

hotel, where the famous English church
man, tho late Dean Stanley, who was then
making his first visit to the country, was
also sojourning at tho same time.
Now, the dean and the actor, who played
the first old man in the Palmer company,

Stanley was going up stairs the comedian
Of the Palmer company started to go uf

playfully gave the dean a sharp thrust
with his thumb. Poor Stanley, believing
with rage and anger, turned hastily around
to discover the author Of his anguish and
behold the comedian, who was over
whelmed with modification and regret to
find that he had taken such liberty with
one Of the heads Of the English church.
