CONGRESSIONAL. : Yesterday the tar
iff bill was taken up and thirt, para
graphs disposed of, all the compromise
amendments being adopted. Mr.. Du-
bois, republican of Idaho, entered a pro-
test against faction delay, and, while
affirming his allegiance to the policy of
protection, declared emphatically that
the interests of the country demanded
that the tariff bill should be disposed OF
at the earliest possible moment.
In the House of Representatives the
agricultural appropriation bill was
taken up and about two-thirds of the
measure was considered. An amend
ment to the agricultural appropriation
bill, agree d to. was one directing the
President to enter into correspondence

Republican Senators In Conference.
Senator Allison yesterday presided over a
conference of republican Senators at the Capt.
toll. about two.thirds Of the membership be-
ing present. 1t was 4 continuation of the
discussion which occurred at Senator Shcr-
mans house on Monday niGht. 1t was ev.-
dent from the expressions Of olinion that a
majority OF those present were in favor of a
policy Of more sp ely action. Senator Du-
bois announced his intention Of publicly de-
claring in favor of speedy action, and when
several Senators took issue with him he said
his Judgment relative TO the effect Of the sill
yer repeal was rs good as theirs last fall, and
he intended to follow it, Ii the caucus would
declare in favor of a filibuster he would stay
by it. but in the ease of an undeyeloped and
drifting policy he would take ground in favor
of speedy action. The difference OF opinion
in the republican ranks seems 10 be rs to what
may be considered ample debate and what 4
what ilibuster. The conference broke up
without any action being agreed upon, but
those Senators who believe in early action
seemed to be in such large majority that
they felt that the policy would now be to con-
slider the bill with view to engaging only
in legitimate discussion of the various sched-
ules

ton witt, the alleged attempts 10 pur-
chase the votes Of Senators Kyle and
Hunton on the tariff bill, has deter
mined to ask full investigation at the
hands of the Senate of the charges made
against him. Major Buttz called ON Senator
llamsbrough. Of North Dakota, yesterday
evening and asked adviccas TO what he he'd
better do He made a general denial OF the
charges made against. and stated that hc
wanted Il rigid investigation Of them. He
was not willing 10 rest on the possibility OF

the details of the bribery were not gone over.

that he did not suppose that any Sen
ator believed that either the Senator
from Virginia or the Senator from
South Dakota had been improperly APP
proach or influenced. There was moth
ing in the association with those
Senators nothing in their public
or private character-which would,
for moment justify the har-
boring of a suspicion of that kind. He
supposed that it would be found on 10
vestigation that those reports, those
suspicious that had been sought to be
Set afoat, were something in the ma
ture of a blackmail and they came from
other matters than those which the
committee was TO investigate, and were
only stirred up for the purpose OF call
ing away attention. 1t was the stop
thief" cry With that in view, he
thought the committee ought to con-
slider all these other subject matters
most thoroughly and he hoped that
the Senator from Massachusetts would
accept any amendments to his resolu
ton that would make it more pene-
trating, and would enable the commit
tee to go to the profoundest depths; so
that, at last, the country and the world
might have light on what were really
the suspicious and beliefs Of the Amer
lean people-that certain portions
of the tariff bill had been sur
rounded by, and subject to, intlu
ences which alarmed the people, and
would disgrace the Senate, if the be
liefs were true. That could not be too
thoroughly probed. There were afoot
among the people of the country, sus-
PIGEONS so great, doubts so great that it
was best that they should be set at rest
by a thorough and complete inycstiga-
ton.
After further discussion the resolu-
ton as modified was adopted.
The tariff bill was taken up at noon
/ and Mr.. Gallinger delivered the second
part of his speech against it.

A House bill was passed repeating
section Of the act of 1890, governing
the display of lights and signals on
vessels at sea with view to preventing
collisions. This was made necessary,
it was explained, by reason of the
failure of Great Britain to observe the
agreement OF the international marine
conference of 1889.
The House then, at 1870, went into

The Southern ,fcthodists

The most important work Of the day
in the Methodist General Conference
at Memphis yesterday was the adoption
of the report of the committee on mis-
sions, which provides now for only two
missionary secretaries instead of three,
aud requires that these secretaries re-
side in the same city.
The committee on church extension
presented its report, which was adopt
ed. 1t does not provide for an assistant
secretary.
The committee on boundaries con-
Cured in the memorial from the Balti-
more Conference asking that no atera-
ton be made in the bounds of the con-
ference.
The report of the committee on tenn
perance was adopted. 1t refused to act
on petitions favoring uniermented wine
for use in the sacraments.
The report of the committee on Sab
bath observance specified many of the
so-called evils practiced on the Sabbath,
but did not touch on Sunday news
papers.
The report OF the committee on
church extension was adopted and a
board of managers elected The report
of the committee on education was
again holly debated. The substitute
which was offered to do away with the
adoption of the formation of an educa-
tional board was lost by a great ma
iority The first, second, third and

THE VERY small vote polled at the
democratic primary election here is ac-
counted for by the fact that few OF the
candidates for nomination had any op-
position, so that thousands of voters did
not deem it necessary to go to the polls
to secure the nomination Of men whom
they knew would be nominated with
out their votes Were it not for that
fact, the party here, judged by the vote,
would certainly not be in . very salts
inctnry condition.

THERE HAS always been difference

THERE HAS always been difference
between science and the Christian re-
ligion, but the Baptist Church in Ro-
chester, New York, has just illustrated
that difference in the most vivid and
slaring colors. According to all YER
sions of the Bible, the wine at the Lord 5
Supper was drunk by the Disciples out
of one and the same cup, but in the
church referred to, last Sunday, it was
served to each COMMUNICATE in an in
dividual cup, lest bacteria might be
conveyed from the lips of one to those
of the others. The "progressiveness' OF
this age. while il doesn't overcome US,
continues to advance with rapid strides.
