debate on the Bill ~ secure More Reve-
nues L gins This Week in the Senate.
Washington, May 24.-To-morrow,
ten weeks and day after the begin
Eing OF the session. the senate will
take up the tariff bill, for the passage
Of which the session was Especially
called. The bill was to have been
called up Monday, but the death of
Senator Earle, of South Carolina, will
render necessary an adjournment for
day. Senator Aldrich will call up the
bill, move its consideration and make
q speech in its support The demo-
cratic amendment striking out the in
ternal revenue features of the bill will
be introduced by Senator Vest. After
this the course of procedure is some
what indefinite.
The democrats are not clear as to
whether they will permit the immedi-
ate taking up of the schedules or will
demand an opportunity to make speech
es bearing upon the general policy of
the bill. The prevailing opinion among
the democratic leaders is against the
policy of general speeches at the be-
ginning. OF the discussion, but they will
not attempt to restrain individual sem
ators who may wish to be heard.
The silver republicans and populists
will seek opportunity during the pend
ency of the bill to present some re-
marks OF a political nature and some
Of them may be heard during the
week. The general sentiment among
straight republicans is adverse to the
encouragement of any general discus
sion of the bill or to long speeches on
the schedules, but no party policy has
yet been decided upon. A caucus has
been called for this purpose to be held
this afternoon.
There will be strong opposition to
BONE of the schedules on the part OF
republican senators and amendments
will be firmly pressed. Some Of these
amendments will be offered to the
chemical schedule, the first Of the list,
and they will probably be reached
during the present week. Other fea-
lures of the bill which republican SEN
ators will attack are those affecting
the sugar and wool duties and taking
hides from the free list. Senator Pet
tigrew's amendment against trusts
is also certain to proveiruitful Of much
debate.
Senator Aldrich will not speak tt
exceed an hour in time. He will
give, for the first time, the estimate
Of the republican members Of thu
finance committee of the amount O
revenue the bill will produce and viii
explain the committees plan Of action
giving the reasons for some of the NOR
important amendments made.
The democratic senators held eau
Gus Saturday and decided to inaugu
rate their fight upon the tariff bill a
soon as the bill is taken up in the sen
ate by a motion to strike out the in
ternal revenue features of the bill re

clusion was unanimous that this wa

Logansport, Ind, May 24.-John +.
johnson, late president of the State
national bank, is now in the hands of
the law. Deputy Marshal Clark ar
rived in the city Saturday and when
the affidavit was read johnson was
cool and collected. The bond was fixed
at S25, 900, which he failed to furnish
and was taken to Indianapolis.
When Bank Exa., ner Cal' "nll laid
down 5000, 900 worth of forgu,. Lotes
before President Johnson and said,
"Mr. johnson, you signed those
notes?" The answer was given with
out tremor: II did"
An expert says that certain book
keepers in the bank knew of the presi-
dents crime, but the false entries be-
ing made by the president himself
saved them from the law. Business
houses which were borrowers of the
bank have tided over the present
trouble and no failures are expected.
President johnson will enter plea of

G. Langhorne, of the same city, were

possession. Valuable lace was also
captured. The captured stuff is worth
$4,000.

Scruggs and Langhorne went to En-
gland to sell the patent on a calcu-

A Strike on the Ore Docks.

Ashtabula, May 25.-The employees of
the Minnesota docks at this port struck
yesterday, and no work is being done,
although three ere cargocs are waiting

thereafter when there was work on
the docks they would be employed by
the hour. This caused dissatisfaction.

port for work Monday morning, as two
boats were expected. The men held a
meeting Sunday and decided not to re-
