Compromises - Stewart Wan

No Quorum in the House -

Trial.

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-The OPEN
ing of the senate proceedings today was
a repetition or that of yesterday. Be
fore the reading OF Yesterdays journal,
Mr.. Frye remarked sarcastically that
such an important document should not
be read in the absence of the senator
from Tennessee, Mr.. Harris, and of a
quorum. The roll was called. and at
11:07 a quorum appeared, and the read
ing of the journal was completed. The
house joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of the treasury to make partial
payments on vessels constructed and
repaired under the control or the treas
ury department to the extent of IS per
cent of the work done was passed.
Mr.. Harris, at 80 o'clock, moved to
take up the tariff bill.
Mr.. Allen asked permission to con-
slider the calendar, but Mr.. Harris stated
that the tariff bill was more important
than all the bills on the calendar put
together, and he therefore felt impelled
10 insist on his motion. The yeas and
nays were demanded and the motion
was agreed tO-31 to 10.
Before the actual consideration of the
bill began Mr.. Stewart gave notice that
next Monday he would address tue sem
ate on the pending bill.
DOES NOT SATISFY HALE.
The fact that many amendments were
to be proposed to the tariff, making a
compromise bill, was again the prom
inent feature of the early hours of the
senate, and was brought out by Mr..
Hale. of Maine. He spoke briefly of
the pending amendment-the change of
date for the taking effect of the bill and
said that the senator from Tennessee
who had charge of this bill affecting the
industries of the whole country pro-
posed new to decide that on the SOth OF
June, only siXty-five days ahead, it
should take effect, and that every re-
duction of duty, every change affecting
industries, should then become law.
Now" he SAID, ~ appeal to the SEN
htor from Tennessee to let this part OF
the bili-the date when it shall take
etfect-remain Enacted upon until we
have more daylight. until we can see
through and know what is likely to be
done. While we do not believe, MIR
President. that the senator from Ten
nessee has the slightest conception
of what this bill will be when i
passes. If it ever does pass, do not be
