unexpected repulsc on, when by the
decisive vote Of Il yeas to 20 nays tho
senate defeated the motion Of Mr..
Morrill,, chairman of the finance com.
mittee to take up the tariff bill. The
negative vote which defeated the mo.
tion was given by Democrats, Pop
VIZ: Teller, Mantle. Du Bois and
Carter. The affirmative vote was en-.
tirely Republican but its total of
aggregate Republican strength. MIR.
MorrilFs motion has been anticipated
for some days but it was not pressed
pending consideration Of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill. This
measure was disposed of at 4 o'clock
today and the struggle to advance
l.,
Morrill, was llarriedly summoned from
the finance committee room to submit
his motion. In the eantime MIR. Call
had secured the enforcement Of an
agreement entered into some days ago
that the Cuban question should be
taken up. Mr.. Morrill, was not de.
tered by the agreement, however, and
preSsel his motion to take up the
tariff. There was Il hurried assembling
OF senators who remained at the
capitol, but this was considerably
short OF a full vote. The result of the
vote left the Cuban resolutions as I'M
finished business. although these have
yielded temporarily to the military
academy and other appropriation bills.
