Immediately after the reading of the journal the oath of office was administered by the Vice President to Mr. Carlisle as Senator from the state of Kentucky for Mr. Beck's unexpired term. INFORMATION ON THE TARIFF WANTED. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution instructing the finance committee to prepare and report (in connection with the tariff bill) a statement showing the duties levied under existing law, the duties as they would be under the House bill and the duties under the bill to be re- ported by the committee, such duties to be stated in parallel colamns. And especially, if the committee should recommend new duties or the increase of existing duties, to state the reasons in each case for such addition or in- crease. In the course of a discussion Mr. Sherman suggested the difficulty and even impossibility of the committee on finance giving the reasons for its recommendation in each of the 3,000 items carried im the bill. The reasons might be given generally, but not in regard to every item. He moved to strike out of the resolution the words ‘‘in each case.” MR. PLUMB OBJECTS, Mr. Plumb opposed Mr. Sherman's amend- ment. He would rather have the whole reso- lution disagreed to. He knew that the state- ment would require a good deal of time, but it had been given out that the present revision of the tariff would last for ten or fifteen or twenty years. The report of the finance com- mittec therefore ought to be ample, in every individual case, to explain the position of the committee, ‘so as to satisfy those of us who are in general accord with the protective idea, which the bill is supposed to represent, and to enable us to explaim why we voted to increase duties when the expectation was that wo would vote to reduce them,” Mr. Harris favored Mr. Plumb’s resolution as absolutely necessary for an intelligent discus- sion of the subject matter, MR. SHERMAN’S AMENDMENT LOST. Mr. Sherman’s amendment was disagreed to. Mr. Reagan moved to amend the resolution 80 as to require (in cases of compound duties— specific and ad valorem) a column showing the equivalent ad valorem amount of the duty. Mr. Morrill stated that the clerk of the com- mittee was engaged nights and Sundayg in preparing the statement called for ip the first part of the resolution; but as to the informa- tion called for by Mr. Reagan, that could be furnished better by the Treasury Department than by the finance committee. Mr. Allison moved to insert in Mr. Reagan's amendment the words, ‘where practicable.” Mr. Blair—Aud where not practicable the committee can give us a. reasonable guess, Mr. Rea; gan’ gested by Mr. Allison, was agreed to. THE RESOLUTION WAS FURTHER AMENDED (on motion of Mr. Hawley) by making it apply amended, it was cerns to. Mr. George, from the judiciary committee, reported a ‘th subjecting” national bank ae and Treasury notes to state taxation. Placed on the calendar. THE CEDAR KEYS TROUBLE. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Call calling for information as to the landing of an armed force from the revenue cutter McLane at Cedar Keys, Fla., was taken up, modified and agreed to. THE NAVY APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of the vy appropriation bill, the pending question being on Mr. Cockrell’s amendmeut to strike out the provision for construction of three heavily armed at a cost of $4,000,000 each. Mr. Cockrell quoted 3 remark of Mr. Hale’s in the discussion on Saturday to the effect that all that was sought in that provision was to bogin; that it was only a beginning; that it was not intended kee soe nope it was red inning to put the Unit es in & ion cone Avot could humiliate it, re Nominations Today.
