FIRST VOTE ON THE TARIFF
REPUBLICAN SENATORS WIN IN 4
 DECISIVE MANNER.

It Was on Senator Vests Amendment to
 Reduce the Rate on Boracic Acid-Re-
 publican Committee Sustained in All
 Seven Paragraphs Considered-Decisions
 Were Rendered Mainly on Party Lines.
 Washington, May 26.-The first vote on the tariff bill was taken in the sen ate to-day. It came after two hours debate on the item of boracic acid, which, although comparatively unim- portant. afforded an opportunity for the first alignment of the various elements. Mir. Vest of Missouri, a democratic member of the finance commmittee, moved to make the rate on boracic acid three cents instead of five cents per pound, as provided by the committee. This presented a direct issue between the committee and the opponents of the bill. The amendment was defeat ed. The vote was largely on party lines and was as follows
 Yeas-Berry, Caffrey, Chiffon, Clay, Cockrell, German, Gray, Jones, Lind say, Morgan, Murphy, Pasco, Rawlins, Roach, Smith, Turpie, Vest, Walthall, democrats; Heitfeld. populist-total 20.
 Nays-Aldrich, Allison, Baker, Bur rows, Carter, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Elkins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Frye, Gal finger, Gear Hanna Hansbrough Flaw ley, Lodge, McMillin, Nelson, Penrose. Perkins, Platt of Connecticut, Platt of New York, Quay, Shoup, Spooner, Well lington and Wilson, republicans; Me Emery and White, democrats; Cannon, silver republican,; Jones and Stewart, populists; total 34
 Following were the pairs: Daniel and Pritchard, Turner and Hoar, Pettus and Mcbride, Mallory and Proctor, Martin and Mantle, Mitchell and Sewell, Till man and Thurston, Harrison and Clark, Bate and DeBoe, Harris of Ten nessee, and Merrill, George and Vol colt, Bacon and Wetmore, Butler and Wellington, Mills and Mason.
 All the republicans voted or were paired against the Vest amendment, so that they presented a solid front. Two democrats, McEnery of Iowa and White of California voted with the republi- cans. All other democrats voted or were paired for the Vest amendment. Heitfield, populist, voted with the dem- ocrats, Butler and Turner, populists, were paired with republicans. Stewart, populist voted with the republicans, as did Jones of Nevada and Cannon, sil- yer republicans. Pettigrew, silver re- publican, though present, did not vote, Teller silver republican, was absent and not paired Kyle independent populist, was absent and impaired. Hale, republican, and Faulkner, demo- crat, were absent and no pairs an- nouneed for them.
 The debate was participated in by Senators Vest, Jones of Arkansas, Al drich, Perkins, White Caffery, Gray and Stewart. MT. White, a democratic member of the finance committee, op- posed MT. Vests amendment, urging that the California industry required the rate allowed by the committee.
 Seven paragraphs of the bill were considered during the day, the com mittee being sustained in each in- stance.
 The resolution was agreed to author izing the secretary of the navy to em- ploy any suitable ship in forwarding re- lief supplies to India.

Found Out.
He seemed painfully conscious OF the
ludicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly tapping curtains of
a north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into a seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
y red and his Notwithstanding eyes, an
tlclpating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his APP
pearance might provoke, blazed forth a
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit of
J%ocundity.

IN the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs Of seats, and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con

ideal "owl" conductor, bristling with
a sense of his Importance, and osten-

convenience of his guests.
"Ez ish flemish ghar?" asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot

The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response. Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for

"Ez ish leemish gharY was repeated
somewhat p%etulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but the autocrat seemed
buried in IN effort to translate the lar

as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker. But the glances were quickly
withdrawn, for the glitter of i'm
