WASHINGTON, D. G. (speciaD The long
and exciting struggle in the Senate over
the Tariff bill came to close at a quarter
before 5o'clock p. m, Wednesday, when
the bill was passed by a majority OF ten.
During the whole day, despite the instense
heat, the galleries had been filed, and
when the time for the vote drew near mem
bers ofthe House Of Representatives hocked
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
4 announcement of the result.
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
piete separation from the Republican
Organization. While protesting that they
were still protectionists, they declared that
the tariff was no longer political issue OF
rthe first Importance. While they and the
Populists generally refrained 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-
-icans to pass strictly party measure.
It was their contention that no tariff re-
vision could bring prosperity, and they
were determined that the Republicans
should pass just such bill as they wanted,
$50 that the country could have an object
licans that they could not excuse any faults
tn the bill on the ground that they were
j forced to make concessions, as he and his
colleagues had stood ready to support
them In passing any bill they might frame.
