ROBBERY IS
NOW LOCALIZED.
The Dingley Tariff Bill Be-
comes Il Law,
Aud congress, Having Performed Its
Malignant Mission, AdjOurns
Sine Die.
The Senate Virtually Ignores the Presi-
dents Message Proposing Cur
rency Commission, by Refer
ring it to the Finance
Committee.

WAsHINGToN, July 24.-The tariff
bill passed its last Legislative stage
at p. M, to-day when the Senate,
by the decisive vote of 40 to 3d.
agreed to the conference report on
the bill. The announcement of the
result was greeted with enthusiastic
applause by the crowded chamber.
This closed the great labor for
which the Fifty-tifth Congress
assembled in extraordinary sessiO n,
and after stubborn resistance, at
times threatening deadlock, the
Senate cOncurred with the House in
a resolution for the final adjourn
ment of the session at o'clock to-
night.
An analysis of the vote shows
that the affirmative vote was cast
by 81 Republicans, one Democrat
(McEnery), one silver Republican
(Jones) of Nevada, and one Populist
(Stewart).
The negative vote was cast by
twenty EIGHT Democrats and two
Populists, Harris and Turner. Mr..
Teller, silver Republican, and two
Populists, Allen and Butler, were
present and did not vote. One Popu-
list, Kyle, and one silver Republi-
can (Pettigrew) were absent without
pairs, which was equivalent to with
holding their vote.
The President sent special mes
sage to Congress, proposing Cur
rency Commission. The House re-
sponded promptly with favorable
legislation, but the Senate, how
ever, turned it down with barely a
shadow of ceremony by referring
the entire question to the finance
committee.
While the question was being
acted upon by the House, Mr.. Car,
mack (Dem.) of Tennessee offered
an amendment by the terms OF
which the commission created by
the bill should be directed to report
a bill on the lines of the financial
plank of the Chicago platform, and
to include in the bill provision fOr
the free coinage of silver at l6 to /
This amendment, of course, was
lost, the vote being SO ayes to l3I
nays.
The closing day was prolific of &
series of mOmentous events, each O1
which alone would have been of eX.
traOrdinary interest.

The following touching poem was writ
ten in the prison dead house at Camp
tnaS by Col. w. ), II. A fellow prisoner
WlS engaged to Il beautiful lady; she proved
ia.thl"S~. ana her letter came, breaking The
trptn, soon after he died, and this was Col.
Ii. repIN,-Ed.l
Your letter came, but came too late,
For Heaven had claimed its own;
An, sudden change! from prison bars
Unto the Great White Throne!
And yet think he would have stayed
For one more day of pain,
Could he have read those tardv words
Which you have sent in rain.
Why did you wait, fair lady,
Through SO many weary hour?
Had you other lovers with you
In that silken, dainty bower?
Did others bow before your charms,
And twine bright garlands there?
And yet | ween in all that throng
His spirit had no peer.
1 wish that you were by me now,
AS | draw the sheet aside,
To see how pure the look he wore
Awhile before he died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave him
Still had left its weary trace,
And a meek and sanity sadness
Dwells upon his pallid face.
"Her love-" he said, "could change for
me
The winters cold to spring."
All, trust of thoughtless maiden's love,
Thou art bitter thing!
For when these valleys fair, in May,
Once more with bloom shall wave,
The northern violets shall blow
Above his humble grave.
Your dole of scanty words had been
But one more pang to bear;
Though, to the last, he kissed with love
This tress of your soft hair.
did not put it Where he said,
For, when the angels come,
l would not have them find the sign
of falsehood in the tomb.
I've read the letter, and | know
The wiles that you have wrought
To win that noble heart Of his,
And gained it-fearful thought
What lavish wealth men sometimes
give
For trfle, light and small!
What manly forms are often held
In Folly's tlimsy thrall
You shall not pity him, for now
He's past your hope and fear;
Although | wish that you could stand
With me beside his bier.
Still, l forgive you; Heaven knows
For mercy you'll have need,
Since God his awful Judgment sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight, the cold winds whistle bv,
AS Imy vigils keep
Within the prison dead house, where
Few mOurners come to weep.
A rude plank coffin holds him now,
Yet Death gives always grace;
And | would rather see him thus
Than clasped in your embrace.
Tonight, your rooms are very gay,
With wit, and wine, and song;
And you are smiling, just as if
You never did a wrong.
Your hand so fair, that none would
think
1t penned these words of pain;
Your skin, so white-would God, your
| Were half so free of stain
I'd rather be this dear, dear friend,
Than you in all your glee:
For you are held in grievous bonds,
While he's forever free.
! Whom serve we i'm this life, we serve
In that which is to come;
He chose his way; you, yours; let God
Pronounce the fitting doom.
