WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The senate de-
voted half an hour to clearing away
routine business. Then Morrill,, chair
man of the finance committee, secured
recognition to report back the tariff
bill. He read in somewhat tremulous
voice, the original title. then the new
title as reported, AN act to provide
for the free coinage of silver, etc"
Morrill, smiled as he added: II am
disposed in presenting this to add the
conclusion Of official proceedings in
Massachusetts,. and may God save the
commonwealth l was not in favor
Of the action taken by the committee
on finance but now the bill is here

There was general laughter at Nor
rilIs reference to Massachusetts pro-
ceedngs.
Quay moved ito recommit the bill and
substitute back to the finance COM
mittee with instructions to report the
original bill and amendment separate
ly Quay made the motion with evil
dent feeling, swapping out each word
with emphasis.
Hill called attention to the fact that
the motion was irregular during MORN
ing hours and the presiding officer sus-
tanned the point.
Then" said Quay. Il ask unani-
nous consent that this bill be referred

Hill. and Quay's proposition was dis

the committee did not last to exceed
half an hour and was devoid OF special
feature beyond the Offering and adop-
ton of the substitute. The republ.cans
brought up The tariff bill and expressei
desire 10 get X out OF the committee
in some shape. When Vest proposed the
silver substitute Il was remarked the
senate had already been through one
silver fight this session and the belief
was expressed another contest could
avail litfle or nothing When, however,
the vote was taken and the result
known the republicans made no effort
to delay the report TO the senate.
The report proved a complete surprise
to the silver republicans and was un-
favCrably received by them. They i'm
med.utely began a movement to have
the two propositions, tariff and silver,
separated, and VIII generally support
Quay's motion to This effect. The sill
vel republicans expressed themselves as
follows:
Mitchell Of Orogon-It is a democratic
move TO defeat the tariff. / won't vote
for it.
Pettigrew-I am against It. You
might just as well try to put the ten
commandments on any bill that comes
into the senate.
Cartcr-Tne bill Will be recommitted
ana ought to be. with ins structions TO
report the tariff and silver propositions
separately.
Clark-The committees work looks 10
me like boyish play.
Warren am not for 1t. IT is not in
the interest of silver.
Mantle am a silver man and may
vote for the substitute. However, l will
not feel oblged to do so If 1t becomes
apparent as the matter progresses the
substitute is intended for no other pur-
pose than to beat the tariff bill.
Perkins, voted consist emily for the
silver substitute for the bond bill in
accordance with the wishes of my con-
stftutens and even went 10 She extent
of opposing all amendments offered to
defeat 1t, but do not consider myself
under obligations to support a measure
so evidently intended for the purpose
of defeating tariff legislation. The tar
iff bill rs an emergency measure and
the revenue it provides IS needed for
the support of the government.
Pritchard-I am a silver republican in
favor of tariff as well as silver legisla-
ton, hence, feel II my duty to oppose
this substitute.
Senator Teller said that he was
willing to have the bill recommitted
without instructions, but notwith-
standing he expressed a desire to have
the bill reported in such shape as to
secure a vote on both tariff and silver.
1t is asserted that all democrats and
populls,s WIN vote against Quays mo-
tfon. If this be true the motion car
not carry and the contest Will come
directly upon the substitute. Some
sound money" democrats are inclined
to support Quay's motion, but most Of
them take the position that they shall
vote against the motion as a means Of
of killing the tariff bill.

four big tugs took their positions, at
a few m.utes after . o'clock, the big

SKETCHES BY M.QUAD
Things Were Exciting.

On the broad prairie, eight miles
from any other house, came upon
pioneer smoking his pipe at the door Of
his dugout. After we had passed the
time of day asked him if he didn't get
q bit lonesome now and then, so far
from his fellow men.
"Not a Bit" he sturdily replied.
"Say, thar's more excitement right
around here than you kin shake stick
at. Indeed thar's too much of it, and
that's the reason don t do more work "
l couldn't see anything around but
lame horse and a flock of buzzards with
an old woman and yellow dog peering
out of the door at me, but the man read
my thoughts and said:
"Take this week, for instance. This
is Saturday afternoon. This is the way
things hev gone this week:
Monday. Had fight with the old
woman and got whopped.
Tuesday. Had fight with the old
woman and whopped her.
"Wednesday. Killed 18 rattlesnakes
and blue racer and had the ager.
Thursday. Got drink from e
stranger and had another row with tho
old woman. Neither got whopped. Old
woman had the ager.
Friday. Licked Bill Thomas fur
calm me liar and killed Ia rattle
snakes. Put second mortgage on my
claim.
Saturday. Had fight with the
old woman and got whopped Killed
more snakes Traded cornmeal fur
whisky and had the ager. Fool of a
traveller cum along on a white boss and
wanted to know if 1 didn't git lone
some. "

"Waal, it moucbt and it moughtn't.
But you'll lind water fur yer boss half
a mile below, and if was you I'd &c
around tryin to chirk folks up instead
of maxim their hearts sad and humsick.

Compliments of the Season.

Half hundred of us saw Wild Jack,
as he came riding into Red Gulch on
his cayuse, at O'Clock one morning.
Stranger, do you happen to know a
critter in this Gulch who calls hisself
Pawnee Joe?' he said
81 do, ;" replied the man. "Do you
want anything in pertickler of the
aforesaid?'
Jest to fill him up with lead.
He's purity slick on the shoot his

Eyes, know. Kin you locate his
karcass at the present timer
II kin. He's asleep right in this yere
place, and if it'll be any favor to you II
wake him up and remark to him that
you ar yere to put holes in him."
"I'll thank you fur yer trubble."
'What name shall give?'
"Jest Wild Jack. !"
The man in the doorway disappeared,
and Wild Jack moved off about 80 feet
and drew gun. Two minutes later
Pawnee Joe suddenly leaped out Of the
door and opened fire, and at the third
shot Wild Jack tumbled over dead, and
his pistol was discharged in the air.
ANY other critter around?" asked
Joe, as he looked up and down.
''That's all" answered one of the
crowd.
''Then I'll go back and finish my nap.
Durn a man who'll cum bluffin and
BLOWN around at this time o. day! I'll
keep the cayuse, but you kin plant him
and keep the guns fur payp'
That was all. In five minutes Pawnee
Joe was fast asleep again, and in halt
an hour the body of Wild Jack was un
der the ground and the story an old one.
