THE TARIFF BILL.

Washington, Feb. 10-When Senator
Quay left the capitol after the adjourn
ment of the senate today, he had almost
decided to withdraw his motion to re-
commit the tariff bill. or at least not to
press it. This was the result of the i'm
portunity of several Republican senators
who, after canvassing the situation
among the Democratic senator's, had as
certained to their satisfaction that while
there would be solid vote on the part of
both Democrats and Populists against
recommital. there would be no difficulty
in getting comparatively large vote on
the Democratic side of the chamber
against the free coinage substitute for
the bill.
This turn in the situation has led to
an active canvass of the probable vote
on the substitute and on the original bill
in case the substitute is voted down. This
survey has necessarily been incomplete,
but the result is such as to cause the OPP
ponents of the substitute to believe that
it can be defeated. They count upon
the entire anti-silver Republican vote on
the Republican side, besides the votes of
many Of the silver Republicans who will
not agree to displace the tariff bill with
silver, and also upon getting large ma
jority, if not all of the anti-silver Demo-
Gratis against the substitute. With the
substitute defeated the vote would recur
on the tariff bill proper The friends of
this measure are not so sure of its sue
cess as are the antagonists of the substi-
tute of the defeat of that measure. They
are led to believe that there will be solid
Democratic and Populist vote against
the tariff bill, and they also recall that
Senator Baker of Kansas, declared in
caucus his intention of opposing the
tariff bill in the senate. In the event of
Mr. Bakers adhering to this determine
ton it would be necessary to secure two
votes from either Democrats or populs-
tic sources to secure the passing of the
measure. There are some who believe
this can be secured. The vote will, in
any event, be very close and it is so
doubtful at this time as to render pre-
dictiOn mere guess.

AMBASSADOR UHL.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The president
has nominated Edward II. Uhl of Michi-
gan, assistant secretary of state, to be
ambassador extraordinary and plenipo-
Tertiary of the United States to Ger
many
The nomination was not formally re-
ferred to the committee on foreign rela-
tons, to which, under ordinary circum-
stances, it would have been sent. but the
committee was canvassed on the floor of
the senate and no opposition being devel-
oped, it was decided to confirm imme-
diately.
The action was taken in conformity
with the wishes Of the state department,
where it is considered desirable that Mr..
Uhl shall reach his destination at an
early Il day rs practicable.
Mr. ROckhill, who will take Mr.. Uhrs
place as first assistant secretary of the
state department., is remarkably well
fitted for the post.
Mr. Rockhill is well trained in both the
diplomatic and consular branches of the
service. He was appointed second secre-
tary of legation at Pekin in 1884 and
within a year became first secretary
there. In 1856, he was transferred to
Corea and for year was charge DAFT
fairs ad interim at Seoul, the capital. The
knowledge he gained OF the pecullarltles
of the Asiatic races and its methods dur
ing his service in these countries was of
great value to the state department dur
ing the war between China and Japan.
When Mr.. Rockhill returned to the
United States he was made chief clerk
of the department of state, and while in
that place also acted as the representa-
tive of the department Of the govern
ment board of control at the Worlds
fair.
In 1894 he was appointed third assis-
tant secretary of state to succeed Mr..
Storba, who has been appointed United
States minister to Ecuador, and has oc-
cupied the Office until this time.

RECEIVING THE CROOKS.

New York, Feb. 10.-Sub-treasury of
falls were busily engaged up to late
hour tonight receiving gold on deposit
in payment of installments on bids for
the new government bonds by individu-
ais and representatives and employees of
banks and institutions. In fact, the ia
cilities of the department were overtaxed
and the total amount credited to bond
buyers was not reached until o'clock.
There was about 80 or 40 depositors.
The officials did not assume to furnish
official data. The total figured out, how
ever, was $S,749,542
The news of the appointment of a num-
Der of government repositories for the
new bonds was hailed with considerable
satisfaction by the street, as this step
will go great way toward averting eX-
IRENE disturbances of the money market.
These repositories will receive gold direct
from bidders for bonds and will turn it
over to the sub-treasury about as fast
as received, the depositors being given
receipts and the amounts being credited to
them at Washington The bonds will be
sent by the treasury department upon
completion of the payment.

PACIFIC ROADS HEARING


Washington, Feb. S.-The hearings by
the senate committee ON Pacific railroads
of persons interested in securing the re-
organization of the Pacific roads was re-
sumed today.
Mr.. Pierce, representing the Union Pa
,cific reorganization committee, was again
before the committee and he was put
through a sharp process of questioning
by Senators Wolcott and Morgan. He
, stated in reply to these questioners that
on reorganization to leave considerable
the plan proposed would give the govern
ment about 80 per cent of its debt, prin-
cipal and interest, which would not
amount to quite as much as the principal
itself.
In reply to a question from Senator
Wolcott, Mr.. Pierce said that while Mr..
Depew and Mr.. Hewitt were on the re-
organization committee he could not say
whether the Goulds and Vanderbilts
were interested in the proposed reorgani-
cation, or that there was any Interior pur-
pose to attach any portion of the Union
Pacific system to either the Missouri Pa
ciic or the Northwestern.
