Silver Men Shoulder to Shoulder With Democrats. —e—— LAND FORFEITURES IN THE HOUSE. —_——— SENATE, The conference reporton the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was presented and agreed to, Senate bill for the conveyance to the Rio Grande Junction Railway Company of certain lands in Colorado in lien of other lands con- veyed by the company to the United States was reported and placed on the calendar, THE TARIFF BILL, Mr. Morrill moved that the Senate proceed to the consideration of the tariff bill, He said that after the tariff bill was taken up it could be laid aside informally until the two shipping bills were disposed of. Mr. Harris asked the presiding officer whether the two shipping bills. would not come up as the “unfinished business” at 2 o'clock. ‘The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) replied in the affirmative. Mr. Harris suggested to Mr. Morrill not to make his motion till after 2 o'clock, but Mr. Morrill said he preferred to make it at the present time. Mr. Gibson asked Mr. Frye whether he did not propose to ask for the consideration of the river and harbor bill today. Mr, Frye said that he had given notice to that effect, but he was not personally concerned about its consideration today, He would cer- tainly, however, feel obliged to ask for its con- sideration before the tariff bill could be com- pleted. He would not now antagonize the tariff bill with the river and harbor bill, but if the tariff bill were going to consume two or three weeks he could not consent to yield that length®f time to Mr. Edmunds— the Senate upon it, Mr. Plumb—It will not do to ask unanimous consent to take up the river and harbor bill during the pendency of the tariff bill, because certainly one member of the Senate will ob- ject to that, Mr. Frye—I shall not ask unanimous consent. Mr. Plumb—Then the Senator would have to move to lay aside the tariff bill, Mr. Frye—I would do so. Mr. Gorman—I understand that the shipping bills are in order today at 2 o'clock. The presiding officer said that those bills would come up as “unfinished business” at 2 o’ciock without a motion, Mr. Gorman—Do I understand that the Sena- tor from Vermont desires to take up the tariff bill and have it considered only from 12:30 to 2 o'clock? Mr. Edmunds—Tbat is what he wante to do. ‘The clerk will call the roil, Mr. Gorman repeated his question, _Mr. Morrili—] have already stated that I will Give way to the Senator from Maine tor his ship- ping bill; but I desire to have the tariff pill be- fore the Senate as the regular business. I ex- , of course, to yield for the regular ap- Pe rcietion bills when they come.up. Mr. Carlisle—I am unable to see, for my part (with my limited acquaintanco with the methods of proceeding in the body), that any- thing is to be gained by taking up the tariff bill at this time; certainly not, if it is to be laid aside from time to time, ‘I have under- stood that the Senator from Maine desired to complete the consideration of the shipping bills, and that after that he desired to take up ti er and harbor bill I ba also understood that the committee on appro- priations has, or soon will have, ready the sundry civil appropriation bill and perhaps other bills that ought to be considered and passed upon by the Senate. I hope, therefore, that the Senator from Vermont will not insist on his motion; or, if he docs, that the Senate will not sustain it, So that when the tariff bill is taken up for consideration we may pro- ceed with it in the regular way until it is com- pleted, Mr. Morrill—If we are to bring the session to a close atan early period it is necessary that we take up the most important Dill that is be- fore us. My purpose was merely that the tariff bill shall be in order after the disposition of the two shipping bills; so that Senators who ay desire to speak on the subject at large have an opportunity to do so. Then we can go on as usual and make amendments as the ill progresses. Mr. Harris—I do not know that anything can be gained by taking up the tariff bill at 12:30 and then laying it aside, with the fall of the gavel at 2 o'clock. Mr. Morrill—We will have of the bill, Mr. Edmunds—I object to further debate, NO QUORUM VoTIXG, ‘The vote was taken ou Mr. Morrill’s motion and the result was: Yeas, 16; nays, 24 No quorum voting. THE SENATE REFUSES TO TAKE UP THE TARIFF BILL. Then there wasacall of the roll, to which forty-nine Senators responded. The vote was again taken and the Senate refused to take up the tariff bill—yeas, 20; nays, 28, as follows: Motion to take up tariff bill: Yeas—Messrs.

Benate bill to establish a United States land count and to provide for the settlement of private land claims in the territories of New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Utah and in ths states of Nevada and Colorado, was, on motion of Mr. Edmunds, taken np and ’ dis- cussed until 2 o'clock, when it was laid aside, without action, and the consideration of the two ehipping bills (reported by Mr. Frye from the committee on commerce) was resumed. Mr, Reagan said that hi reed most heart. ily with the purpose of building up again the mercantile marine of the United States, but that he did not agree with the policy of the pending bills, ‘The United States had a revenue system that approached the prohibition of imports, It might be safely assumed thatif the United States was to trade with other countries it must buy as well as sel! producta, HOUSE, The Speaker having directed the journal to be read, Mr. Rogers (Ark.) raised the point of order that there was no quorum present, The Speaker counted ninety-one members, and, on motion of Mr. McKinley (Ohio), a call of the “House was ordered, One hundred and sixty- seven members—a quorum—ha\ responded to their names the re of Thussdey ceedings was read.

The bill was in the bands of the Pre: dent and he could sign it, allow it to become law without his approval or to veto it, ‘The Speaker declined to pass upon the con- stitutional question. That was a question for FEARS OF A VETO. ‘Mr. Rogers (Ark.) said that he understood that the fear was that the President wou!d veto the bill unless it were changed in a cer- tain particular, Mr. Cannon (IIL) contended -that the motion waa in order, and Mr. McMillin argued that there was no constitutional provision for it.

On motion of Mr. Payson (Ill) the Honse went into committee of the whole (Mr. Peters of Kansas in the chair) for the consideration of the Senate bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for the purpose of aiding in the con- struction of railroads, with a House substitute therefor. ————+e+______ THE CENSUS KICKERS, Frisco’s Alleged Padded Returns—The Proposed Recount at St. Louis, Etc. In reply to an inquiry from the Ceneus Office relative to the alleged packing of census re- turns in the city of San Francisco Supervisor Davis has replied that the defectfte returns are probably confined to five districts. These districts are the ones where it is charged ex- tensive colonization was carried on prior tothe last registration for political purposes, It is probable that a recount will be ordered in these districts, ‘TRE COUNCIL BLUFFs INVESTIGATION. ‘The superintendent of the census has di- rected that two or three of the best enumerat- ors who have been employed in taking the cen- ‘sus at Council Bluffs, Iowa, be authorized to | investigate the cases of omissions which have been complained about in a recent petition from citizens of that place. The results of this investigation will be reported to the Census Office tor further action. PORTLAND 0, K. Complaints have been received from the board of trade at Portland, Ore., that the census was not accurate. The supervisor ir that city to whom the complaints was referred has just reported that he has investigated all the cas’ of omitted names and finds that there is no ground for complains. That report will settle the case of Portland for the time being. THE ST. LOUIS eQUABBLE. ‘The advocates and opponents of a recount of the population of St. Louis are marshaling facts and figures preparatory toan assault upon Secretary Noble, who will have the final decis- ion in the matter. The enumerators who counted the St. Louis people have held a pub- lic meeting and passed resolutions asserting that they did their work faithfully and that the count is correct, Figures are also given to show that the population returns are reasonable, and it is charged that a recount would result as the one ten years ago in swelling the popu- lation beyond its actual figures. When the time comes to decide this question, which will be when the census officer completes the rough count, there is going to bea lively fight aud, incidentally, St. Louis is going to get a good deal of free advertising. ——— TODAY’S VOTE IN THE SENATE. Why There Was a Disinclination to Tackle the Tariff Bill Just Now, There would be no significance in the refusal of the Senate to take up the tariff this morn- ing, but for the names of the republicans who voted with the democrats against considering the bill. These were chiefly silver men, and that fact suggests the idea that they propose to see what is done with the silver bill before entering into the consideration of the other question, SILVER MEN WHO VOTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS. The men who voted with the democrats were Allen, Mitchell, Plumb, Squires, Ste wart and Teller. The silver men are evidently uncertain about the result of the conference and are determined to ocoupy an independent position untilthat matter issettled. “Moreover, there is an understanding that the tariff bill, when is once up, will consume much time and it is deemed wise i of appropriation bills and other measures of im- portance before they enter into a discussion that they do not see the end of.
