though a Republican, probably will join
other Republicans in making up a quorum.
If a. quorum appears and Senator Lindsay
gets the floor he will no doubt finish his
speech before he allows an interruption,
when the point of quorum could be
made. The objection of the Republicans to
any further tariff discussion is considered
frivolous by the Democrats, and they say
that they do not care to enter into any
argument that speeches shall not be made
in order to transact the minor business be-
fore the Senate. 1t is said by the Demo
cratic leaders in the Senate that an ad-
journment will follow action by the Presi-
dent on the tariff bill, whether speeches
are made or not as nothing can hold the
Senators in Washington after this measure
is of the way.

WILL ASK HIS DISMISSAL.
CiviI-SeFvice Commission to Report
on negro TaNInr,s Cnse.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The Civil-serv-
ice Commission resumed it's examination Of
the charges against Recorder Of Deeds c.
II. ]. Taylor to-day. The commissioners
have determined to clothe the investigation
with absolute secrecy. and a number of
witnesses. said to have received assess
ment letters signed by Taylor, represent
ing the Negro National Democratic
League, were examined at length behind
closed doors. Taylor is credited with rep
Tesenting the Negro National Democratic
League, but at the commission II is hinted
that both the league and the Afro-Amer-
lean Bureau of Organization Of the Demo-
cratic congressional committee are in
volved in the case. Taylor is president of
the league. and until recently was con-
nected with the bureau. He resigned from
the latter position soon after the Civil
service Commission began its investigation
of the charges against Robert c.. Still, the
chief of the bureau. 1t is learned that the
complaint alleging assessments was filed
several weeks ago when the full board
was in session. and that ii has been dis
sequently. Mr.. Lyman has been spending
several weeks at the seashore. but re
turned to Washington last night to join
mis- two colleagues in the investigation
Several more witnesses. who received the
letters. probably will be examined to-mor-
:ow. and il can be aGthoritatively stated
that the report will not be forwarded to
the Attorney-general or the President be-
fore tomorrow night. There is strong
ground for the belief that, accompanying
il will be an urgent request signed by the
full board for Tavlor's removal from the
office to which President Cleveland ap-
pointed him last spring. This request will
be accompanied by an exhaustive state
ment summing up the charges and review
were filed by w Calvin Chase, editor of
Bee. a negro organ of this city, and by a
messenger in the Interior Department
named Barnes. who is also business man
ager Of the Bee. Both Chase and Barnes,
as well Secretaries Z. l.. Dawkins and
NJ. c. COOnce. of the league, have ap-
peared before the commission as witnesses.
The persons accused of soliciting campaign
contributions denOunce the charges as
"trunped up by Chase, with the aid of
the colored messenger, and ascribe them to
refusal of Taylor to appoint friends of
corder Of Deeds office, and they will en-
deavor 10 have the President retain Tay-
lor in office. Notwithstanding the Civil
service Commission.

ANOTHER BAD BLUNDER.
Error in Punctuation Prevents I'm
IOnding of Anthracite COal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Another blum
der has been discovered in the tariff bill,
which is almost sure to cause serious
trouble. In the free list of the Mckinley
act appear these two paragraphs:
1896. Coal, anthracite
'537 Coal stores of American vessels;
but none shall be unloaded."
The new bill, however, unites these para
graphs in Section Al OF the free list, which
now reads: "Coal anthracite, and coal
stores of American vessels. but none Shall
be unloaded." OF course, according to the
punctuation the prohibition contained in
the last clause applies to all that precedes
it in the paragraph including anthracite
coal, which was intended to be made free.
AS the paragraph now stands anthracite
coal cannot be unloaded

Mr.. Pascoe and Mr.. Cockrell pointed out
that the same order made yesterday was

WOOL IN BOND.
1t Must Pay Duty Unless Exported and
ReimpOrted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-James w. Tat
tersfield, of Miller & Tattersfeld. import
ers and dealers in wool at Philadelphia, had
an interview with Secretary Carlisle to-
day, regarding the construction TO be placed
on the new tariff bill as to goods in bond
The particular question which Mr.. Tatters-
field desired to have settled was whether
wool now in bond could be withdrawn
without payment of duty when the tariff
act placing il on the free list became a
law. Mr.. Calisle explained that the word
ing of the enacting clause of the new tar
iff bill was such that there could be but
one construction placed upon ii, and that
was that wool now in bond, in order to
avoid the payment of duty, would have to
be exported and again imported. A state
nent prepared at the Bureau of Statistics
shows that on July l, 1894, there were, ap-
proximately. 63 99,321 pounds of wool in
bond, valued at S,5l9,622
