TARIFF BILL RECORD BROKEN.
Senate Made Greater Progress on 1t
Yesterday Than Any
Previous Day.

Washington, June 1.-THE senate made
greater progress to-day on the tariff bill
than on any other day since the debate
opened. Two entire schedules, covering
twenty pages, were completed, namely,
schedules H. on spirits, wines and bever
ages, and schedule I. on manufactured cot
ton goods. This brings the senate to the
flax schedule, with the important wool
schedule standing next.
The portion of the bill passed to-day is
substantially the same as that reported
the committee changes being unimportant,
while the opposition amendments of MIR.
Jones, OF Arkansas, and Mr.. Vest were
Systematically rejected by majorities vary
ing from five to ten. Mr.. Allison secured
the addition of a new paragraph to the
cotton schedule, with view to compensat-
ing the cotton manufacturers for the recent
action of the senate in placing raw cotton
on the dutiable list.
Some of the Democratic members of the
senate committee on finance said to-day
that henceforth they would interpose no
objection to the rapid disposal of the tariff
bill. They will suggest amendments and
ask votes on them for the purpose of max
ing a record; but there will. II they can
control the matter, be no long speeches on
the schedules, with the possible exceptions
of wool hides the reciprocity paragraph
which the Republicans have promised TO
report and some other sections. The indi-
cations now are that the Republicans will
withdraw the internal revenue provision of
the bill.

INTO THE CHICAGO RIVER.
Suburban Train Runs Into an Open
Draw, but No One Is
Killed.

Chicago, June IA north bound sUbur-
ban train on the Chicago, Milwaukee * st.
Paul road ran into the Chicago river to-
night at Kinsey street. Six men were hurt
but it is not expected that any of them
will die. Following is a list of the injured:
Elmer Goshern, brakeman, hurt about side
and arms; Frank q. Cleveland, engineer,
hole torn in right leg; William f. Stevens,
fireman, hurt in side and arms; George
Upchurch, passenger, bruised in side; J. NJ.
Merkly, bruised about chest; unknown
man hurt in chest and slightly injured.
The train, which consisted of the engine
and two cars the first being a combina-
ton smoking and baggage car and the sec
ond a regular passenger coach, LETT the de-
pot at $50 and five minutes later the en-.
glne and first car were under the surface of
the Chicago river.
The railroad crosses the river at kinsey
street which is not over a quarter of a mile
north Of the depot, and the train was con-
sequently moving slowly. But for this tact
the entire train must have gone into he
river and the loss of life been heavy, as

Ii the first car.
The accident, according to James Har-
rington, the bridgetender, was due entirely
to the arrangement of the lights on the

white. Harrington said that he had opened
the bridge for the passage of a tug with
a mud scow, and was just swinging the
bridge shut when the train came on. He
claimed that the engineer had caught an
oblique glance at the light instead of
look full at its face. and said that in either
case the light would, from the tracks on
which the engine was coming, show white.
He easily proved his case by swinging the
bridge into the position it occupied when
the train ran over the edge, and the ac-
cident seems to have been caused entirely
by the light.
The tracks are not more than four feet
above the surface of the water and the
fall was not great. About fifteen people.
including the trainmen, were carried into
the water, but all were rescued without
difficulty,
