MATTERS took new turn In the senate on
the 23d. The day was one OF surprises on the
tarif bill. Senator German spoke at some
length in which he explained the position OF
democratic senators who had favored the COM
promise bill and favored the bill as IL stood at
present, although he had opposed the income
tax feature. Mr.. Teller, TO test the matter,
then addressed the senate and closed by maxi
Ing motion to lay the tariff bin on the table.
This was bomb that caused q sensation
Absent senators we're hastily called in and
the motion to table was lost by q vote of 3Ssto
eS the democrats voting solidly against II to-
gether with Messrs. PETER, Kyle and Allen.

THE senate consumed the morning hour on
the 25th debating Senator Kyle's Hawaiian
resolution during which Senators Harris
(Tenn) and Hoar (lMass.l crossed swords on
the question of senatorial courtesy, but the
war was only one Of words. The tarin bill was
then taken up and as concident the rate Of

ceived consideration. After considering the
