WASHINGTON, d. c.. (SpeciaD.-The long
and exciting struggle in the Senate over
the Tariff bill came to q close at a quarter
before 5o'clock p. m, Wednesday, when
tho bill was passed by n majority Of ten.
During the whole day, despite the i~nstense
heat, the galleries had been filled, and
when the time for the vote drew near, MEM
bcrs ofthe House Of Representatives nocked
into the Senate chamber, filling the sofas,
and stood ranged along the walls back Of
the seats of Senators. Speaker Reed and
Chairman Dingley were prominent among
those remained until the vote was taken.
There was no sort of demonstration at the
announcement of the result. II
The scene in the Senate during the clos
ing hours of the debate was a remarkable
one. The most striking feature of the de-
bate was the speeches of the Silver Repub-
licans, who, under the lead of Senator Tel
Ter, took advantage Of the occasion to en-
phasize more strongly than ever their COM
plete separation from the Republican
organization. While protesting that they
were still pr0tectionists, they declared that
the tariff was no longer u political issue Of
the first Importance. While they and the
Populists generally fefrained from voting
on the bill, they called attention to the fact
that their votes could have been obtained
had they been needed to enable the Repub-
lieans to pass O strictly party measure.

vision could bring prosperity, and they
were determined hat the Republicans
should pass Just such n bill as they wanted,
so that the country could have an object
lesson. Senator Teller warned the Repub-
licans that they could not excuse any faults
in the bill on the ground that they were
forced to make concessions, as he and his
colleagues had stood ready to support
them in passing any bill they might frame.
