permit Of the previous question. and the
other by Senator Allen. providing for the

trade was discussed. but action on IL was
deferred
Senator Harris sought to reach some ar
rangement for Che earlier meeting Of the
senate and for longer sessions for consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill, but his efforts
encountered such strenuous opposition
that nothing was accomplished.
The chief interest of the day centered in
Senator HIPS speech That the question
has not lost all its fascination was shown
by tie large crowds drawn 20 the senate.
The speech was mainly directed against
the income tax, and Mr.. Hill made many
aggressive raps at the administration. lie
declared that Gresham is n Republican,
and termed the Hawaiian policy a big
blunder. Extreme tariff reform was
called suicidal, and Cleveland was ac-

In the House.
The house was depopulated. Three
fourths of the mem bers were at the sen
ate listening TO Senator HIPS speech on
the tariff. Those who remained were
occupied with District OF Columbia af-
fairs, but little actual business was trans
acted. Most of the time was spent
wrangling over two bills, one To extend
the time allowed to the Metropolitan
street railroad TO change its motive

however, met with such opposition that
they were withdrawn Only one bill of

English minister here, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote.

lish minister has no Information confirm
ing the cable dispatches from London
that the Behring sea bill before the
British parliament exempts from for
feiture Canadian vessels which had
already sailed.
He informed the secretary OF state that
he had cabled his government and in
formed it as TO che attitude of the United
States government concerning this mat
ter. Sir Julian assured the secretary that
he did not believe the English govern
ment was disposed to take any unfair adj
vantage in carrying out the Paris award,
but would adhere TO the contention and
decision of that tribunal
Plainly Put.
The English minister was informed that
II the British bill contained the exception
exempting Canadian vessels which had
sailed. our government would regard as
vitiated the entire agreement.
Senator Morgan, in alluding TO the
matter. said he felft convinced that when
the attention of the British government
was called to the matter. which was i'm
clear violation OF the understanding the
English bill would be amended so as TO
