Savannah had more rain yesterday than
IL has had any day in two months. The

will be warmer with more rain to-day

Once ON the official ballot, as Is the case
in the true Australian ballot law, and as
Mr. Osborne provided iu tine law passed
two years ago, he now proposes TO amend
this by having as many separate tickets
printed on the official ballot as there are
candidates or parties or factions in the
nelu. For instance, fl Mr.. Myers should be
a candidate for mayor ~ the coming
election, under his name would be printed
the list OF alderman Candidates nomi-
mated by his faction and the same with
SchWarz, Duncan ami NcDonOugh, or ds

POLICE BEFORE THE MAYOR.
Eight of Them up on Various Charge.

Eight of Them UP on Various Charges.
Mayor McDonough cleared the informa,
ton docket Of the police cases yesterday.
Charges against eight policemen were dis
posed Of. Officer McHugh, who was
charged with assaulung Detective Kava-
naugh was fined s..
The charges against Detectives BosseH
and Kavanaugh and policeman McCool
were dismissed. This is the case which
grew out Of an alteration between Of
ficers McHugh and Kavanaugh just out
side the barracks on the night of Oct
10. The case was somewhat mixed up,
McHugh and McCool being on one side
and Bossell and Kavanaugh on the other
The feeling between the two officers had
not been of the best for some time and
the alteration was the outcome of some
idle talk.
Detectives BosselI and Kavanaugh
charged that McHugh and AIcCool had
waylaid and assaulted them. The evil
dence showed that there was an alterca-
tion between Kavanaugh and McCool, in
the course of which Kavanaugh called
McHugh liar and Nc Hugh struck him.
McHugh did not deny the assault and was
fined 50. NIcHugh charged Bossen with
drawing a loaded pistol upon him, and in
this statement he was supported by Nc
| Cool This was denied by Bossell and Po-
liceman f. j. Smith, who witnessed the
affair from the sallyport supported him
in this statement.
The charge against Bossell was dis,
missed. A charge was entered by DeteC-
.
ficer McCool, charging him with cursing
and abusing them at some previous date.
The only evidence in support of this
charge were the statements Of some
women inmates of Fanny Leavy's house
on Houston street. The mayor cons
cluded that this was not worth investigat-
ing and accordingly dismissed the charge,
| Detective hayanaugh was not present at
/ the hearing.
Policeman Degnan and Spencer We're
fined s. each and sharply leCtured In ad-
dition for drinking beer in a barroom.
/ This was several months ago, and the men
! were caught by the mayor. The mayor
! had just shaved off his mustache and the
/ policemen did not recognize him when
! he happened to pass the place. They con-
! fessed that the charge was true bill.
/ They had been ordered to report to fire
/ in the southern part of the city they said.
| They had had a long walk and Were
thirsty They asked at a barroom for some
/ water. They We're rendered beer instead,
/ which they gladly accepted. Unfortun-
/ ately for them the mayor happened To
/ drive past at that time and saw them
/ drinking the beer. This coincidence cost
! them just So apiece, with an intimation
/ that If it ever occurred again they would
/ go off the force.
A charge against Policeman Lee OF
/ throwing his club at a man was dismissed
no witness appearing against him.
A charge against Policeman Eivers of
/ drinking beer while on duty on Aug. g.
/ was dismissed
The charges against Policeman Haines

Is the Result of Speculation as to
 the Action OF PRESIDENT CLEVELAND As Regards Signing the Tariff Bill May Be Allowed to
 Become Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-All interest at the capitol today centered in the tariff bill. Both houses are meeting in a perfunctory manner and adjourning without any seri- ous attempt at legislation. The presidents return naturally gave rise to no little spec ulation as to his action regarding that matter. Wheo it was known that Speaker Crisp had seen MT. Cleveland today, the formers committee room became at once the mecca to which republicans and demo- crats alike turned their footsteps in order to learn the presidents intentions. All of the number were disappointed, so far as any positive information was concerned, for all the speaker would say was that the president would probably allow the bill to become law without his signature. He said the president had not told him what he should do, but from his general con- yersation regarding the bill the speaker made the foregoing deduction.
 The president, it is said, has not hesi- tated to express to some of his callers his objections to the bill. These objections are as strong today as they were when his now famous letter to Chairman Wilson was read in the house more than month ago. None of the gentlemen who saw him today asked him if he proposed vetoing the bill. They are so entirely convinced that he will not pursue so drastic course that they felt such an inquiry would be an insult.
 The constitutional limit of ten days in which the bill may become operative with out the presidents signature will be reached at midnight on Monday next. Should a veto be withhold an adjournment of congress will follow on the next day.
 Some of the democratic leaders who saw the president this morning have urged him strongly to sign the bill. They have represented that any other course would discredit the measure and the party, and that it would be serious handicap to them when on the stump during the October campaign. The president is reported to have heard these gentlemen patiently and to have shown by his responses at be was not insensible to their arguments. In some cases they returned to the capitol feeling that after all, there was @ possibility that the presidential signature would be affixed to the measure, but as one of the number expressed it, 'there is only possibility"
 Equal uncertainty also exists whether President Cleveland will send message to congress concerning the bill. He has been urged not to do SO, but to withhold any, thing he may choose to say upon the sub ject until the reassembling of congress next December, to be incorporated in his annual message.
 Secretary Carlisle spent most of the after noon at the executive mansion, discussing with the president the new tariff bill. It was stated yesterday that Secretary Carlisle would make public a statement as to al- legged defects and errors in the tariff bill, but this afternoon it is said he will defer any expression of his opinion on this mat ter.

WHERE IS TIE QUORUM? Colonel Bright of the Senate Re-
 ceives Peremptory Orders
TO COMPEL THEM TO COME
To the Sessions-A Hopeless Task-Sharp CoIloquy in
 the House.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 2s.-In most respects the session of the senate today was close counterpart of that of yesterday. No busi- ness whatever was attempted, even the reading of Wednesdays journal and the presentation of message from the presi- dent having been prevented by the fact that there was no quorum present and answer ing. On the roll call only thirty four sen ators responded, but two senators came in and had their names recorded after the list was made up. Then there were four re- publican senators present who declined to answer when their names were called. These were Messrs. Manderson, Quay, Pettigrew and Shoup, so that all told there were forty senators present, three less than a quorum.
 report from the sergeant-at-a as to the execution of the order of yesterday di- recting him to "request' the attendance of absent senators was presented, and then more imperative order was given to that official, directing him to '.compell" the attendance of absentees, and Colonel Bright immediately set about that difficult, If not impossible, task. As there was no prospect of his succeeding in it today, the senate, after an hours weary waiting, ad- journed until tomorrow at noon.
 Assistant secretary Pruden reached the capitol building shortly after o'clock with some presidential nominations, said to be important, but owing to the lack of a quorum they could not be laid before the senate, and were taken back to the White House.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 The one item of interest in the proceed ings of the house was the animated colIo- guy between Messrs. Cummin gs, democrat. of New York, and c. w. Stone, repubii- can, of Pennsylvania, over the report of the committee on naval affairs upon the investigation into the alleged armor plate frauds. The report was accompanied by joint resolution, which was agreed to, di- recting the secretary of the navy to have plates now on certain ships removed and subjected to ballstic tests to determine their quality. These are the plates fn which defects were shown in the investiga- tion to have existed, and the tests were suggested to determine whether or not they are up to contract requirements.
 MT. Stone asserted that the Carnegie com- pany, while just as anxious for the investi- gation and tests as the house or committee, had not been accorded fair play in the iI : vestigation.
 This aroused MT. Cummings, who made a spirited response, declaring that the Car negie company's interests in this had been more carefully attended to in the investiga- tion than had those of the navy depart ment, which had also, he said, been on trial.
 One or two private bills were passed and at 1:lO o'clock the house adjourned until tOmnrrow hes

The use of arms was the only question upon which a divided vote was taken, which showed by actual count that there were only twenty of those present voting.
