PROGRESS ON THE TARIFF.
The Senate Finishes the Wool and
Most of the Silk Schedules.

Washington, June 16.--Among the bust
ness of the morning half hour in the
Senate was the passage of the Senate bill
releasing and discharging the sureties o.
Osias Morgan, land office receiver in
Tallah-ssee, Fla, from 1856 to 1870. The
tariff bill was taken up at 1890 o'clock
and fair progress was made in its con-
sideration, although at one period it APP
peared as If the time might be wholly
consumed by Mr.. Quay Ia reading the
ninth portion of his unending speech.
For reasons satisfactory to himself, how
ever, he halted and allowed the woolen
schedule TO be proceeded with.
Mr.. Peher's amendment to admit all
woolen manufactures free of duty lin re-
taliation for putting raw wool on the free
list only received his own vote and those
OF two other populists (Senaters Allen
and Kyle. From that on through the
schedules there was very little friction or
delay.
On women's and children's dress goods,
however, paragraph 2s3, the finance com-
mittee amendment, making the rate 40
per cent. ad valorem on goods valued at
not over 80 cents pound. and 80 per cent
ad valorem on goods valued at more than
so cents a pound, met a slight obstruction
in the adverse votes of two democratic
senator's. Mr.. Coke Of Texas, demanded
the yeas and nays on the amendment and
both nc and Mr.. Berry Of Arkansas
voted against 1t. They had voting with
them only one r5puDlican--Mr. TIE ler of
Colorado and two populsts Nessrs. Al

consideration of the measure, the House
to-day, operating under the rule adopted
yesterday, finally disposed Of the Indian
appropriation bill substantially as re-
ported to the House by the committee on
Indian affairs. There were numerous
minor amendments agreed to in the course
of the debate, but the most important
pro badly was that offered to-day by MIR.
Cofeen, dem, of Wyoming, directing the
Secretary of the Interior to detail a
special agent to negotiate with the
Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians for the
purchase of a portion of the Shoshone
reservation in Wyoming.
STRUCK OUT.
The provision of the bill directing the
transfer of the Indian warehouse and
purchasing agency from New York TO
Chicago, which gave rise to one of the
most spirited episodes OF the debate, was
struck out of the bill on a point of order.
A motion by Mr.. Gear, rep, OF Iowa, to
recommit the bill, with instructions TO so
amend it as TO abolish the system of con
tract schools, was ruled out ON a point Of
order.
From this decision of the chair, Mr..
Cannon, rep, OF Illinois, appealed, but
the appeal was tabled by vote of 1866 TO
to 6S The vote was generally along party
lines, the popuists voting with the dem
ocrats. and the following republicans,

per, Hermann, Piclxler and Walker.

lers were ordered. The vote through
them was-ayes 1856, nays 33. So the bill
passed, and at 40 o'clock the House ad-
1ourned until Monday.
The days session was begun with q
controversy between Mr.. Reed. rep, of
Maine, and the speaker, as To whether or
not the personal explanation of Mr.. Rich
ardson, dem, Of Tennessee, yesterday
was preceded by request of the House
for unanimous consent. Mr.. Reed insisted
that il was made, and was borne out in
his statement by the record, and the
recollection Of the members about him
The speaker was Just as confident the re.
quest was submitted, and was sustained
by Mr. Richardson and member about the
latter. So the matter stands.
