WASHINGTON, July 20.--Today was ont
of dramatic interest in the senate, fol
the fate of the tariff bill of 1894 de.
pended on the course pursued in the
upper house of congress. The friends
of the tariff bill wore anxious faces,
and more than once during the day felt
thst the very danger point had beer
reached. The enemies of the bill al
times believed they would be able tt
defeat it. When adjournment CANT
the situation was still perplexing.
The senate proceedings proper were
of a peculiar nature. in that the debate
was carried on entirely by the Demo.

Sherman and question by Senator Al

day were those of Senators Hill aud

interest of the occasion. Senator Hili'i

The action of Senator Villas in preced

out the one-eighth differential on sugar
was an additional sensation owing to tn,
fact that it was probable the notios

until it was found the motion may b.
declared out of order.
The statements of Senators Smith ans
Blanchard were important, indicatin,
that change in the sugar Bchedul,
might mean loss OF their votes, while
Senator Blanchard stated decidedly thai
he would not vote for the bill if thiI
change was made. Senator Gray's Wig

Pending Examination of the
Alleged Train WIRE ckers
at Woodland.

SAN Francisco, July 20.-lt isprophe'
sled on all hands that the Southern Pa.
cific strike is to be settled by Monday
next. 1t is rumored about that nego-
tiations of some sort arc pending be-
tween the strike leaders and the rail-
road officials, but these cannot positive
ly be authenticated. 1t is simply known
that the strikers at Oakland wired to
President Debs. asking whether they
were authorized to negotiate with the
railroad officials, and Debs answered
practically instructing the California
unions to act as they should deem ad-
visable.
In the face of these stories OF pend
ing negotiations, it is a significant TACT
that the strikers are no longer offering
any violent resistance, and that the
number of guards on trains going out
has been greatly reduced.
Notwithstanding these evidences OF
desire on the part of both sides for
peace, the railroad officials still insist
that they are running trains without
the least difficulty, and that they need
no more men, while the strikers, ON the
other hand, declare that the company's
operating department ia still woefully
crippled.
The railroad managers, however,
though they have been asserting for
several days that they are running all
trains as usual, have regularly annulled
several important trains. Tonight, for
the first time since the strike was in
augurated, the north bound Oregon ex-
| prees was sent out, and not until tomor-
row night. at least, will the evening east
bound overland train be restored.
AT Sacramento today 600 men were at
work in the shops. Yesterday only 426
men could be induced to return.
| The peetotiice department. has with
drawn its coast mails from the steam
ships and hae fully restored it's service
on the railroads. 1t is claimed, too,
that the last of the delayed eastern mail
has reached San Francisco.
About the best indication that could
be given that the Southern Pacific Of
feials are sincere in their assertions that
the back bone of the strike is fractured
beyond hope of renewed vitality, ia con.
tanned in the following notice to the
public given out today:

nounces that the entire Pacific system
is open for freight business. Through

between Eugene V. Debs and the rail-

show that such an action WAS q VIOLA

ST. LOUIS, July 20.-The Missouri Pa.
cifc railroad has thrown down the
gauntlet to the A. r. U. for fight to a
finish. The following certificate was
this morning handed yard clerk on
that road who had reported two days
ago for his old position:
"This is to certify that -
has been employed in the capacity of
clerk in the yard department Of the
Missouri Pacific system, ST. Louis Ter
minal division, from April, 1893, to
June. 1894, at which time it was neces.
sary to lay him off on account of a
strike in the yard. He reported for
WORK on tho 18th OF July, but in the
meantime it was learned that he was a
member OF the American Railway union
and was in sympathy with the strike
movement, 80 that we could not re-em-
ploy him. His work and conduct up to
the time Of the strike was perfectly sat-
isfactory.
(Sigued): ]. s. JONES,
Terminal Superintendent.
II is probable civil action for DANA
gos will be brought against the road for
it's action in tho matter. If the statutes
warrant it, a warrant will be sworn out
against Superintendent Jonee for black
listing or discriminating against q man
because OF his connection with labor
organization.
President scanlan. of the local A. R.
u, has evolved scheme by which he
thinks he will be able to secure the re.
instatement of all the strikers in their
old positions. He will depend on the
shippers to help him out. He believes
that if they petition the local railway
managers to take back the men they
will do 30. The strikers, however, have
little faith in the scheme.

probable that o general order will be

change in connection with policies con-
templates the limitation OF payment to

SENATORS WILL DECIDE THE
FATE OF The TARIFF BILL
DRAMATIC DEBATE ON THE
QUESTION
The Press., 1894-11-15

A PRESSING DUTY upon the coming leg islature will be the relieving of Storrs College from the crowded condition of it's accommodations, more especially in the particular of dormitories. A letter from President Rooms says:
 "We found ourselves before the open ing of the fall term with about thirty more applicants than we had accommodations for. By removing all single beds from rooms intended for but one pupil and put ting in double folding beds, and other de- vices, we were able to accommodate those who wished to enter, and find ourselves very much crowded, with our present ac- commodations, but yet are managing to get through the year, hoping that the con- ing legislature will do something to re- lieve the pressure and give us means to do our work here."
 The school will have one good friend in the legislature-Hon. Radcliffe Hicks member of the house from Tolland- who, though having in large part a resi- dence elsewhere and business entirely out side, yet retains warm interest in it's improvements and institutions. He has already shown his interest in Storrs School in 8 gift of 5000 to furnish annual competition prizes. In the matter of help ing to put Storrs School on good basis he should practically have the co-opera- tion of every representative and senator from this county, and every legislator should have state pride in the matter as well. Storrs School has done a great work for agriculture in Connecticut. Let its power to do more be strengthened.

The fact that Hartford county commits sioners went about collecting $50 apiece from saloon keepers before election and promising to reduce license fees after election is now public property: So is the fact that they have kept their promise Hartford C0urdaat.
 As sequence license rates are reduced all over the state. The republican mem- Der of the Hartford county board knew nothing of the assessment and opposed the reduction. The circumstance is caus- ing renewal of agitation for abolition of the office of county commissioner. If such an act is a confession that reputable men cannot be found for the place the princi- pie is wrong. The only question proper is whether such body of officers is need ed in each of the different counties. The most scandulous part of the business is the inference that the assessment was for campaign purposes.

"THE lesson of the election" is varied by the different authorities. Of course everybody recognizes the threadbare sug- gestion that it is rebuke to congress for not passing the Wilson bill. Some dem- ocratic papers put the blame on Cleve- lands shoulders, others on Hills; others declare that the excessive burden of Tam many did it. But all of these overlook the great object lesson of the millions of dollars worth of woolen and other foreign made goods now lowering on our coasts ready to be dumped January 1st, when the German tariff bill reduces the tariff. While English looms have been running American looms have been idle. The American workingman cannot be fooled all the time.
