Washington, May l0.-Mr Harris pres
ident pro tenn, occupied the chair in the
Senate to-day in the absence of the vice
! president at fredericksburg
| A bill to repeal the act of July /, 1889,
''to regulate the use Of the capitol
! grounds"-the law under which Gen.
! Coxey and his subordinates wero re-
Gently arrested, tried and convicted
was introduced by MIR Allen, pop, OF
Nebraska, and referred to the Judiciary
| committee
A resolution was offered by MIR PETER,
! and went over till tomorrow, providing
! for select committee of three TO consider
the present condition of the country with
! special reference to the prevailing depres-
| sion and the large number Of unemployed
! people, and to report what legislation is
necessary to afford relief
THE SOUTH NOT on THE MARCH.
The Allen resolution on Coxey was laid
| before the Senate, and MIR. Gordon spoke
! upon it. He looked upon the Coxey move-
| ment, he said, from a southern stand-
! point. IL appeared to him TO teach q
| lesson which the senators might wisely
and gravely ponder. The movement had
| its inspiration In paternalism-in that
theory Of government, which, IL INDUCED
i IN, would increase the large brood Of SIM
liar movemenGs and intensity the demands
Of that class Of people on congress
for relief Strangely enough, the
movement had its origin in one Of the
great central populous, progressive states
/ OF the union Divisions and corps were
moving on the capitol from every quarter
of the compass save the south That was
| q marvellous fact The reason of the isola-
tion of the south was not the absence OF
poverty there, for the people Of the south
were still poor. IL was not the abundance
Of the currency thore, for In point of fact
there was great dearth Of circulating
medium among them. IL was not because
that people had been supplied with PEN
| sions or with bounties TO their Industries.
THE EXPLANATION.
The overshadowing reason was tlfht ths
war and its lessons had taught the peo-
pie Though the most relentless Of all
taskmasters) the necessity Of relying on
their own manhood the necessity OF
relying not on the government but on
their own right arms. The remedies

dition OF things were two first TO decen-
tralize the general government as much
as possible and empower the states 10
deal with 1t and second, 10 deoentralize
the currency, repeal the 10 per cent. tax on
state banks, and enable the states TO
have currency supplied by their own cit
liens.
Other senators who took part In the
debate were Messrs Teller, Stewart,
| Frye, HOar, Harris aud Palmer The dis
cussion lasted until the expiration Of the
morning hour, when the resolution went
over without action. Il now goes on the
calendar, from which 1t can only be taken
by q majority vote of the Senate.
Tho tariff bin was then Il p. nj taken
up, and Mr. Allison offered an amendment
| proposing specific rates on "aCetio or
pyroligneous acid" instead of the ad
valorem rate of 20 per cent. After
long, uninteresting discussion, the amends
ment was reiected-yeas 25 nays 83.
Messrs. PETER and Stewart voted aye"
with the republicans. Mr.. lrby, dem, of
South Carolina, voted no" with his
party
PATTON SWORN IN.
The tariff discussion was interrupted In
order to allow the new senator from
Michigan, Mr.. Patton, to be sworn into
Office He Is the youngest looking mem
ber Of the body, apparently not over 35.
His hair is black, and so Is his small
moustacher He wears no beard or
whiskers After being sworn in he was
introduced to several of his associates.
The consideration Of the tariff bill was
resumed, the pending question being q
second amendment offered TO the item OF
acetic or pyroligneous acid by Mr.. Alli-
son, proposing specific rates slightly diff
fering from those in his first amend-
ment
At8:l5 o'clock there was another inter.
ruption In the course of the discussion,
when Mr.. Harris, In charge of the tariff
bill offered resolution that hereafter,
and until otherwise ordered, the Senate
shall meet daily at 10 O'Clock q. m.
Il object said Mr.. Hoar.
"Let it 20 over till tomorrow morn
ing, =" said Mr. Harris
~ object to the receipt Of the resolu-
tion,' Mr.. Hoar explained
"Oh, all right" said Mr. Harris "The
clerk may keep the resolution. IL will
come up again"
DoLPH FINISHES HIS SPEECH.
Mr.. Dolph took the floor and said that
as no part Of the speech which he began
on April 20 last had yet appeared in the
Record, although it was all in type, he
would now 20 on and finish It, And so no
went on with the seventh an astinstall-
ment of his speech.
The vote was taken on Mr. Allison's
second amendment, 10 put specific duties
on acetlc or pyroligneous acid, and was
rejected yeas q; nays 33-made up as
the proceeding vote.
The second item in the chemical sched-
ule vas then taken up, ''Boracic acid, 20
per cent ad valorem." The first amend.
Inent was offered by Mr.. Jones, dem., Of
Arkansas TO make the duty 2 cents per
pound.
Mr. Aldrich inquired as TO whether the
amendment was TO be treated as a com
mittee amendmenti
Mr. Jones replied that the democratic
members of the finance committee knew
Of his intention TO propose it and APP
proved IT,
II am not sure" said Mr.. Aldrich,
whether that understanding is to be
binding.
Take a vote upon il, and you will find
out, " was Mr.. Jones reply.
Mr.. Perkins, of California, moved to
make the duty cents
