WASHINGTON, ID. c., July s.--tSpe-
cial. THE House having adjourned yes
terday until Thursday, most OF the VIZ
ginia and some OF the North Carolina
members went out OF the city on brief
visits so as to escape the heat.
The Senate commenced early to-day to
peg away at the tariff, the managers
having started out with the determination
to pass the measure before the close or
the days session.
reference was made In Sundays cor
respondence to Senator Daniels position
on the proposition TO change the rules OF
the Senate. in which II was stated he
would probably be against cloture IL ever
that question were pressed. IL seems
some time ago, however, when II looked
as II the Republicans were determined to
prevent action on the tariff bill. that he
| wrote letter, In which he rather favored
| change of the rules but the direct issue
| has never been raised in the Senate. IL
will have to come sooner or later. and
| then Senator Daniel will probably have
| fine chance to put himself on record. 1t
| Is generally conceded there has been too
| much debate on the tariff and other bills,
and II is we'll known here that Senator
| Hill insists that something ought to be
done 10 limit discussions.
| SUGAR IN THE HOUSE.
| The average southern member OF the
| House does not like the sugar schedule
as adopted by the Senate. and some vigo,
| rous sentiments were expressed to-day at
| the Capitol. It is difficult for these gen,
| tlemen TO understand how the southern
| Democratic senators can explain their
action regarding II.
"If only some one in charge OF the Sen.
ate bill had made a speech ami given a
reason for retaining the duty On refined
| sugar." said a North Carolina member
to-day, Il would feel better satisfied"
For two weeks or more the opponents
of the sugar-tax in the House have been
organizing their forces. and It is giver
out that they intend to knock the sugar
schedule out OF the bill when II comes uE
in the House.
SILVER.
Pressure will be brought to bear or

advocates OF free coinage want this steT
