WAsHENGToN. Aug. -. There was
but scattering Of senators present
Yesterday when the president
called the senate to order. Mr.. Cor
man Dem. was not in his scat. Mr..
! Hill Dem was present, but busted
| himself in a newspaper. During the
reading of Mondays journal Mr.. Mills
asked unanimous consent that its fur
thcr reading be dispensed with, bat
MIR, Blanchard Dem. objected and
the reading was resumed. At 1915
the reading OF the journal was con-
cluded, when messenger from the
house was announced aud informed
the senate that the house had
passed the bills placing coal. iron ore,
barbed wire and sugar on the free
list. in which is asked the concur
renee OF the senate. Senator's Man
derson Rep, objected to the second
reading, and Mr.. Hill gave notice Of
amendments repeating all income
taxes. The bills will come up to-day.
Mr.. Hale Rep. introduced resolu-
ton for the printing of 5000 copies Of
house bill No. 1864, known as the
sugar tariff bill. Mr.. Vest protested
against the title But Mr.. Hale re-
piled that he simply referred to it by
the name by which it would be known
hereafter. but would not insist upon
that title being printed on the bill.
Mr.. Vest questioned Mr. Hale's right
to say what would be the popular dcs-
ignation of the bill, and declared it
an outrage on the senate. The reso-
| luton went over.

Tariff Agreement Proposed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The gloomy
outlook for tariff Legislation has I'M
dcrgone marked change and all
Democrats are hopeful, many of them
sanguine. The Democratic conferees
met yesterday in more conciliatory
spirit They came together grad
ua]ly and again the adjournment of
congress within few days is pre-
'dicted as a result of yesterdays ses-
sion. A basis of agreement was
reached which may produce speedy
end of the tariff contention. The
proposed agreement is that the recent
sugar compromise shall in substance
be accepted; that iron ore shall be
placed on the free list, and that coal
shall remain as in the senate bill,
dutiable at 40 cents per ton. There
are some other changes in the bill, but
they are immaterial.

The Tariff I'i'l.

= WAsHINGroN, Aug. IS. Nothing
definite was done regarding the tariff
bill Saturday. Representatives Wilson
and Montgomery Of the house confer
ees, and Representative Strauss Of
New York. had a conference with
Secretary Gresham at the Arlington
hotel Saturday night. at which the
situation was discussed and careful
consideration given to the proposition
to have the house take the senate bill
in its entirety and subsequently
remedy any defects by passing sepa-
rate bills. Mr.. Ihurber came over to
the conference with message from
the president A report was in per-
sistent circulation that 1t had been
decided to take the senate bill. but
Representative Strauss, after the con-
ference, said that 10 course had been
decided on, but that the policy to be
pursued was still matter of specula-
ton.

Tariff Bill Passed.

WAsHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE long
struggle over the tariff bill came to a
close at i o'clock yesterday evening
when the house by vote Of 1S2 to
l05 decided to discharge the house
cOnlerees from further consideration
OF the bill, receded from its opposi-
ton to the GA amendments to the
senate aud agreed to the same. 1t
was a complete victory for the senate.
The house made an absolute surren-
der. The result grew directly out of
the sensational course of events at
the senate end of the capitol prccipi
tated by Senator Hill on Friday. Up
to that time the house Conferccs had
stood firm against the senate amend
ments and especially on the three
disputed schedules Of coal, iron ore
and sugar, and the temper and voice
of the house was for war, war to the
end. But the indications that the
Democrats of the senate might be
unable longer to hold majority Of
the votes in line for even the senate
bill and that the bill was in jeopardy
forced the house Democrats to inn
mediate action. The Democratic
conferees of the house at last ad-
mitted that they were beaten and
that another vote could not be risked
in the senate; that it must either be
the senate bill or no bill. The house
will endeavor to pass separate bills
on free sugar, iron ore and coal.

Arm0r Plate Investigati0n.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The inves-
tigation of the alleged Carnegie armor
plate frauds was resumed Yesterday.
Captain Sampson, the chief of the
ordnance bureau CT the navy depart
ment, was the witness. The princi-
pal matter of interest was, in his
opinion, the method of treatment of
plans by piecemeal. concerning which
he said that plate hardened in
one section and softened in another
was not to be depended upon. Capt.
Sampson said plate could not be
considered uniform if specimens from
different parts varied 10000 pounds
in tensile strength. In an extreme
case q difference of five or ten
pounds might be permitted.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Ex-Spesksr Roed
makes the following criticism of he ame nded
Senate tariff bill: The presentation by the
Senate finance committee of 81 pages Of
amendments, apparently more thsn 400 in
number, is delicate comnliment to Mr..
Wilson and the House of Representatives.
1t virtually saws the House bill is rieht *
cept on 400 or 500 points, and the Senate
committee. after months work, fiads 400
mist .kes in its own bill.
This will hardly tend to restore conf
dence in the country. especially as every
amendment smscks of either prior ignor.
.nce or present barter. 1t seems impossible
that document so constructed as to show
traffic in every item should be permitted tc
ace daylight in one batch. 1t would have
heen wiser to have let the matter come be
fore the country item by item, rather than
igglomerate the dread full total in one bunch
"Evidently it will be the duty of the Sen,
ate to fully investigate these proposed
amendments, for when the committee of
finance refuses hearings, because it knows
intuitively all things, hut finds by some
kind of bsckstsirs influence that il had
made 400 mistakes, it is evident the commit
tee will bear watching"
