Her Pleasure.
Washington, May 9.-CoXey, Browne
and Jones, convicted in the police court
yesterday. were in the lobby of the
1Senate when it met today, anticipating
1.-THE further airing of their case in con-
! Injection with the Allen resolution.
On motion of Mr. Gray, of Delaware,
a bill authorizing Rear Admiral Walker
land Surgeon j. Rufus Tryon, Of the
navy, to accept a decoration from
Venezuela, for humane service to the
wounded in the Venezuelan war, was
passed, and also a bill to authorize the
crew of THE life saving station at Hog
Island, Va, to accept medal from
Spain for saving life from a wrecked
spanish vessel.
Mr.. Berry, of Arkansas, allowed these
bills to go through under protest. He
insisted that nothing should be per-
United to interfere with the tariff bill.
Those who opposed as well as those

That Police Interference.
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, called his res
olution for the appointment OF a special
committee to investigate the police
lstration. Allen spoke with feeling.
He had waited week after the out
rage was committed on the capitol
grounds before introducing the resoiu-
ltion, he said, expecting one Of the Sen
Iators from Ohio, CoXey's state, to take
isteps towards an investigation. CoXey

Reyiving a Police Court Case.
Mr. Allen made no response to Mr..
4 Daniels suggestion, but took occasion
to reiterate his denial of sympathy
with the movement. All reports to the
contrary were untrue. He had been
called in consultation by Representa-
tives Hudson and Pence on the rights
of Coxey. He had subsequently gone
into the police court to defend him.
When Mr.. Aldrich sat down, Senator
Sherman arose to reply.
1.-The senator from Nebraska" he
said, wanted the Senate to review
case that had been tried in the police
court before a jury of twelve honest
men a cose in which the defendants had
the benefit of the services of the dis
tinguished senator from Nebraska.

suspended to review a case that could

CoXey movement was first started, a
prominent citizen of Ohio had come to
him and asked if he would present Mr.
CoXey's good roads petition. He re-
piled he would. Moreover, he had told
this gentleman if CoXey desired his
bills introduced, he would introduce
them, although he had not particle of
sympathy for them. His reply had

Tariff Taken Up.
When Mr.. Sherman finished, the
| tariff bill was laid before the Senate.
The Coxey resolution went over un-

will ask to be heard upon it.

amendment in the tariff bill, which is
the words cor Withdrawn for consump-
tion," the purpose being to include
goods so withdrawn from bonded ware
houses in the provisions applying in the
bill to goods imported.
This precipitated a running discus
sion, in which Messrs. Jones, of Arkan-
sas; Chandler, of New Hampshire;
Vest, of Missouri; Hale, of Maine; Har-
ris, of Tennessee, and Mills, of Texas,
took part.
Mr. Aldrich twitted Senator Mills,
of Texas. by reading extracts from a
speech by the latter in which he had
denounced in the most severe terms
the system of specific duties, and
holding that for him to swallow the
Dill as amended would mean a sur
render of the principles of a life
, time.
Mr.. Mills replied in vigorous terms.

way responsible for what Mr.. Aldrich
had termed the Democratic surrender.
The bill as modified by the amend
: ments introduced had no resemblance
to the Wilson bill 1t ought to bear
s the name of Mr.. German or Mr.. Brice.
The bill was not a response to
Democratic pledges. Nevertheless, he
would vote for it, if it made a reduc-
ton only of 5 cents.
The pending amendment was then
agreed to and Mr.. Lodge offered his
amendment to impose double duties in
the bill against Great Britain until
(: that country should agree to an inter
national ratio for the coinage of sill
