Narrow Margin In thr senate Vote Gives
Republicans Some Trouble.
WASHINGTON. Jan. "A caucus of Re-
publican senators Will be held today at
the request Of the Republican members Of
the committee on finance to consider the
questions which have arisen in connection
with the house tariff bill. The committee
Is undecided between reporting the bill
without amendment and amending 1t so
as to make sure OF the support Of certain
senators who have indicated n disposition
to press very strongly for increases. The
committee has had under especial con-
sidcratiou propositions to extend the pro.
visions of the bill to sugar and to increase
the rate OF duty on spirits, agricultural
products and pottery.
The house bill increased the duty on
these articles, with the exception of sugar,
IL per cent. while the proposition before
the committee Is To make the increase -
per cent. The committee is disposed TO
report without any amendment, but ap-
preciating the narrow margin in the
senate IL has been decided desirable to
secure the sense OF the entire Republican
side of the senate before the plan of the
committee Is completed. It.is, therefore. ap'
parent that IL the Republican senator's
show n disposition to press their amend.
mcrts to the extent of opposing the bill
they will be accepted.
There is also some apprehension lest the
silver Republicans and the Populists, who
II Is believed would ordinarily support q
tarih bill, may insist upon adding free
Coinage amendment to the tariff bill. and
it Is hoped that the caucus will have the
eject OF indicating what may be expected
from the Republican silver senators.

The Standard says; The Inparclal's idea
of denouncing the treaties of 1775 and 1871
(between the United States and SPAIN is
discussed in all circles as correctly express
ing the feelings of the nation, fretting
under the covert aggression of a govern
ment and a nation which, as The Heraldo
says ought TO drop the mask. The tone
of the Republican papers is even more sig
nificant, but they use the conduct of the
Washington government to damage the
monarchy.

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL PASSED.
The House Refuses to Uuseat Democrat
Congressman Downing,


Congressman Downing.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE river and
harbor appropriation bill was passed by
the senate yesterday after an unusually
stormy experience lasting many days. As
i0,ally pas icd the bill makes direct APP
propriations of sl2, 100000 and authorizes
continuing contracts of $1,000 900, an
aggregate of about $4,000 900 During the
debate the statement was made that this
was the largest aggregate for a river and
harbor bill in the history of the govern
ment. Mr. German sought to secure an
amendment to the bill limiting the con-
tract expenditures to $40 O0O0)0 annually,
but the amendment was tabled by a vote
of 40 to %. On the final passage of tho
bill nine senators voted in the negative. A
number of house bills on the calendar were
passed during the day, including the bill
requiring a years residence in any terri
tory as requisite to divorce. The Dupont
contest comes up by agreement today, but
~ looks as though the case might be post
poned until the next session.
The house after one of the hardest fought
parliamentary battles of the session, which
continued until almost 0o'clocl last night,
recommitted the contested election case Of
Rinaller vs.. Downing from the Sixteenth
Illinois district, to the committee on cleo
tions, with instructions to recount the
ballots in dispute. The vote stood l39 to
30, divided as follows; Ayes, 81 Repubil'
cans, 90 Democrats and Populsts; nays,
30 Republicans. The case was debated on
Tuesday and yesterday until shortly after
o'clock The supporters of the majority
report to unseat Downing (Dem.) and seat
the contestant realized chat the disaifec-
tion on their side was so strong that the
minority report would probably be adop-
ted, and they inaugurated systematic
filibuster to gain time to rally their forces
As last resort many Of the supporters OF
the majority report refused to vote, but
the speaker counted them, and the Demo
Gratis and dissenting Republicans scored
their victory.
