WASHINGTON, July 2O.-Today was
one OF dramatic interest In the SENATE,
for the fate OF the tariff bill of 1894 de-
pended upon the course pursued In the
upper branch of congress Friends OF
the tariff bill wore an anxious face and
more than once during the day felt
that the very danger point had been
reached. The enemies OF the bill at
times believed they would be able 10
defeat 1t. When adjournment came
the situation was still perplexlng.
The senate proceedings proper were
OF u peculiar nature, In that the debate
was carried on entirely by the demo-
Gratis, save brief speech by Senator
Sherman and question by Senator
Aldrich. The principal speeches OF
the day were those of Senators Hill
and Vest Senator HIPS position in
dorsing the president in emphatic
terms was one of the most conspicuous
Incidents of the day. Senator Vest took
occasion to talk in plain terms In de-
tense Of the right Of the senate and the
house to manage Its conference without
executive interference. His criticism
OF the presidents course and the action
OF Mr.. Wilson was more severe than
expected.
The action of Senator Villas In pre-
ceding his speech with Il motion TO
strike out the one-elghth dlfl'erential
on sugar was an additional sensation.
owing TO the fact that II wns probable
the motion would carry. 1t caused

order.
The statements Of Senators Smith
and Blanchard were Important. indi-
eating that change IN the sugar
schedule might mean loss Of their
votes, while Senator Blanchard stated
that he would not vote for the bill If
this change were made. Senator Gray's
vigorous speech was enlivened by a
brisk coloquy with Senator Hill. The
exciting days proceedings closed with
All Affirmative motion to adjourn over

1t is probable that general order will

In cash or by note at per cent. Inter-
est for the period of accom- mediation.
No policy is to be delivered or risk COW
cred unless the assured complies with
this latter arrangement. A further
change in connection with the policies
contemplates the limitation of payment
to three-fourths of the loss. Both
changes are nscribed TO the industrial
