Representatives Sharply Criticizing the Administration Senators. THE TARITF REFORM MEN IN THE HOUSE WANT THE SENATE BILL FOUGHT TO TRE BITTER EXD— INDIFFERENCE OF SENATORS BREEDS DISSATIS- FACTION. There is a feeling of great anxiety, de- pression and indignation among the leaders of the course being followed by the democratic Senators in the tariff matier. They are dis- gusted and almost disheartened by it. The democrats of the ways and means committee put their souls into the fight im the House, and feel that the battle is still on and must be kept up to the ‘last. They think that the Senate bill should be fought with the greatest persistency and vigor, so that every defect in it may be exposed. They think the bill should be assaulted at every point, and feel that any other course toward it would be a almost to a confession of judgment. 'y look with indignation at the pessive way in which the tic Senators a) conducting themselves. Nearl; the as work in getting up facts and has al- ready been done by the ways and means com- mittee and the Senators have but to themselves of the information now easy of ac- cess, Yet it is they have shown no = ‘ition to do and none of them has rtaken @ vigorous championship of th party use, All the democrats of the House want is that all = defects they think they sea in the Senate ould be ragged out into daylight and ously attacked and de- nounced. They do not care whether the bill a the Senate or not, and they do not want have to take it up in the House at all this session. They desire that the democratic Sen- ators shall’ make every point possible against the measure, and then, when it reaches the House it = be allowed to lie in the committee. The: jowever, that the; cannot afford to let bill go without crit cism, as it has Drectically 20 far, and that ifthe Senators fail to do their duty the ways and means committee will be obliged to take it up. After all the work they have done, ata bag ect of having to 60, all over it again jorror for them, but if some Senators don’t take up the oe pened they feel that they will have to do so. One of the members of the committee said toa Stan reporter to-day that he felt, when he thought of it, that death would be welcome as a relief from the task, but if their folks in the Senate not take up the fight his colleagues and himself ‘would have to when it came to House. was spoken with genuine feeling. The complaint is that the democratic Senators are too indolent or too indifferent tomake a — of the . at all, 5 Peachy po | they are treating it perely an superficial weniee AM cote of arguments are = being used to arouse them to action. The absence of Mr. Beck on account of sickness is deeply regretted, as it is thought he would dp something. The indignation on the House side finds forcible expression among some of the members, who do not hesitate to say that the democratic Senators deserve to be defeated, every one of them, as they come up for re- election, They feel that it is unjust that 9 whole burden of the fight should lie upon the THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

His Radical Associates Now Look Upon Him with Distrust. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Evextvo Stan, Lowpoy, Dec. 8.—A sensation was created in Parliament yesterday by Bradlaugh’s defense of the tories, who formerly expelled him from | the house of commons by physical force. His) attack on prominent labor representatives because they refused to support the employers’ liability bill was fierce and bitter, and was greeted with delighted cheers by the minis- terialists, Nevertheless the opposition to the measure is so serious that it certainly will not | be carried this session. One of the most | effective replies to Bradlaugh’s attack was that | of Fenwick, one of the most powerful orators of the opposition side, who was formerly a Northumberland collier. For some time past Bradlaugh has been viewed with distrust by his radical associates. The oeths bill, which he so warmly defended, is held by ghem to be completely ruined by his concessiohs to tory opinion, and it is well known that Bradleug! is opposed to free education.
