The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-07-29

Washington. July 24.-The close of the
long and exciting struggle was near at
hand when the senate met at 10 o'clock
this morning under the unanimous agree
ment of last night that the final vote be
taken at 3 p. m. Only eleven senators
were on hand when the session opened
and several of these busted themselves
with clearing out their desks and pre-
pairing for departure. There was no
prayer. as this was a recess session from
yesterday.
Immediately after the vice president
had called the senate to order. Mr..
Chandler of New Hampshire moved an
executive session. He yielded, however,
to Mr.. Bate of Tennessee who desired
to have a day fixed for eulogies on his
late colleague, Mr.. Harris of Tennessee.
January IL next was agreed upon and
then. at 1905. the senate went into ex-
ecutive session.
b The doors were opened at 1920 Il. M.
and Mr.Allen of Nebraska resumed his
speech in opposition to the tariff confer
ence report and the bill in general
BY this time the attendance of sena-
tors had increased to thirty and the gal
leries We're filling in anticipation of the
final scene in the tariff contest. Mr.
Allen criticised the effect of the bill on
the farmers. He instanced barbed WIRE
required by them for fences. in which

hearted mercy of the barbed wire trust

The House..

Washington. July 24.-The last session
of the house was marked by many inter
esting events. In addition to the final
act of the speaker in affixing his sigma
ture to the Dingley tariff bill, bill pro-
viding for the creation of currency COM
mission. was crowded through in the
closing hours, and the spectators who
thronged the galleries were treated to a
| continuous, if not very brilliant, offera-
tory for several hours. The house re-
cessed until after the senate had adopted
the conference report and one minute
and thirty-o seconds after the house
recOnvened the engrossed bill was signed
and on its way to the president. The
demonstrations which marked these
events were spontaneous and enthusiastic
in the extreme. The galleries played
a significant part in the movement.
When the presidents message came in
er with great promptitude. BY means
of special order the Stone bill, intro
duced some days ago with the approval
of the president, was brought to vote
after an hours debate. Considerable
feeling was manifest on both sides. There
were sharp exchanges and some bitterness
was displayed. There was, of course,
the usual attempt to make political CAPT.
tai out of the situation, but all realized
that the bill would pass the senate and
to that extent the debate lacked serious
ness. till the republican leaders felt
they were doing their duty. When the
vote was taken the republicans presented
an unbroken front with two exceptions,
Mr.. Linney of North Carolina and Mr..
Mahany of New York. who voted with
the opposition against the bill. which was
passed by vote of 1874 to so.
AS final act the speaker announced
the appointments of the committees.

A PERPIExrNG QUESTION.
When Does the New Tariff BfI G,
Into Effect.

vsAsNh DoCS new
Into ETects
Washington, July 24.-The question OF
the day and hour is when the new tariff
raw will go into operation il signed by
the president before ~ o'clock tonight
has been raised at the treasury depart
ment. Information has been received
that vessel laden with sugar has beer
sighted off the capes and probably will
enter the harbOr at Philadelphia during
the afternoon. Another vessel with d
cargo of wool is in Boston harbor, and
other vessels similarly laden are ex.
pected to arrive during the day. Hther>
to the customs offices on the Atlanrit
coast have been practically closed al
noon on Saturday, all of the employees
being permitted to leave.
Secretary Gage, however, has decided
to keep the offices open today untif 4
O'Clock, the usual hoar for closing on
week days, and Assistant Secretary
Howell has sent the following telegram
to the collectors:
departments instructions to you on
June 3, 1890. regarding hour of closing
on Saturdays were as follows.
"'Such deputies. clerks and other en-
ployes as are necessary to transact such
current business as may arise before
the United States at closing hour of
each working day must remain at Their
posts for that purpose
you will follow the above instructions
at the present time"
These Instructions. however, do not af
feet the question of the time the tariff
act goes into operation. The question is
new one so far as the tariff acts are
concerned, and consequently never has
been directly passed upon by the courts
The Mckinley tariff act went into eff
fects by its own terms on October 6, fiv,
days after the receipt of the president,
signature. The Wilson bill became
law at II O'clock midnight August 81
1874, by reason of the lapse of the tel
days allowed the president by the consti
| tuition for the consideration of bills pass
ed by congress. The matter has beer
well considered by the treasury officials
and it is very probable that they will
hold that the new act went into effec
at IL o'clock last night. The department
however, has ten days in which to de
termine the question, and no action i,
likely to be taken before the last OF
next week ut the earliest.
