So-Eight Republicans Paired for IL

|
WASHINGTON, July S-By the decis-
I've vote of SO to %, the tariff bill was
passed In the senate shortly before five
O'Clock Wednesday. The elimination
OF the long and arduous struggle had
excited the keenest interest and the
moor and galleries of the senate cham
Der were crowded by those anxious to
witness the closing scene. Speaker
Reed, Chairman Dingley and many of
the members of the house of rep-
resentatives were in the rear area
whlle every seat in the galleries save
those reserved for foreign representa-
tlves was occupied. The main interest
centered in the final vote and aside
from this there was little of a dramatic
character in the debate. The earlv
part OF the day was spent on amend
ments OF comparatively minor i'm :
portance, the debate branching into
financial and antitrust channels. By
4 o'clock, the senators began mani
testing their Impotence by calls
for VOTE" ''vote," and soon there
after the last amendment was dis
posed of and the final vote began.
There were many interruptions as
pairs were arranged, and then at 4:55
o'clock the vice president arose and
announced the passage of the bill
yeas So, nays % There was no
demonstration, but a few scattered
handclaps were given as the crowds
| dispersed.
Senator Aldricn withdrew his vote
to pair with Senator Murphy, and the
vote stood IS to e.
The vote in detail follows:
1eas-Allison, Baker, Burrows Car

The senate conferees on the tariff

lows: Allison, Aldrich, Burrows, Platt
(Ct), Jones New, Jones ARK, Vest
and White.

licans, two silver republicans, Jones,
of Nevada, and Mantle, and one demo
crat, McEnery. Total, 80.
The negative vote was cast by 25
democrats, two populists. Harris, of

Eight republicans were paired for
the bill and eight democrats against
it. The senators present and not vot-
ing were: Populists, 5, viz: Allen,
Butler, Heitfeld, Kyle and Stewart.
Silver republicans, 2, viz: Teller and
Pettigrew:
Following the passage of the bill a
resolution was agreed to asking the
house for conference, and Senators
Allison, Aldrich, Platt ct. J, Burrows,
Jones (Nev.( Vest, Jones ARK and
White were named as conferees on the
part of the senate.
The first meeting of the conferees
on the tariff bill will be held Thurs
day as soon after tue represen tati yes
of the house are named as it is posi-
bic for them to assemble. This and
subsequent meetings are expected to
be held in the room of the senate COM
mittee on finance, and the meetings
after the formal gathering Thursday
will be as nearly continuous as the
physical endurance of the mem bers of
the conference will merit.
The minority in the house will make
no opposition to the publican pro-
gramme of sending the tariff bill to
conference at once. Both the demo
Gratis and populists see nothing can be
gained by the interposition of factious
opposition. No definite arrangement
has yet been made as to the time to be
allowed for debate when the bill is re-
ported back from conference, but lit
tie difficulty is anticipated on this
point.
AS the conferees are the ranking
mem bers of each side the conferees of
the house will be Chairman Dingley
(Me.), Messers. Payne On. ", Dalzell
pa, Hopkins OH. and Grosvenor co.,
repu blicans, and Messrs. Bailey TEX,
Mcmillan (Tenn.) and Wheeler ala. J,
democrats.
AS to the length of the conference
there is difference of opinion among
the house conferees. Chairman Ding
ley speaking of the conference on the
Mckinley bill said it lasted two weeks
and that there was not as vital points
of difference between the two
houses then as now. Gen. Grosvenor,
on the other, hand, predicts that the
bill will be law week from Satur-
day if the bill goes, into conference
Thursday. The rumor afioat Wednes-
day to the effect that the house
managers had agreed to accept the bill
as it passed the senate, and thus avoid
all possible delays is pronounced abso-
lutely without foundation.
A Shut Down at Pomeroy Probable.
