THE TARIFF BILL LAID ASIDE. And the Senate Takes Up the River and Harbor Bill. ———— THE INDIAN BILL IN THE HOUSE. —— SENATE, Mr. Quay made a personal explanation as to a remark attributed to him in certain newspaper reports of the republican caucus last night. He had been represented as saying that he did not wish to have southern members of the House of Representatives yelping at his heels, urged on by the Speaker. He had made no such remark, and had made no reflection on the distinguished presiding officer of the other branch of Con- gress. Mr. Hoar expressed the hope that it would not be understood that, because Mr. Quay felt called upon to contradic; such a statement, other people were also called upon to contra- dict mendacious statements as to them ona similar subject. Senators knew that the state- ments as to himself were mendacious, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL TAKEN UP. Mr. Frye moved to proceed to the considera- tion of the river and harbor bill. Mr. Edmunds demanded the yeas and nays. The vote was taken and the motion was agreed to—yeas, 36; nays, 8—as follows: Yeas—Messrs. Allen, Bate, Berry, Blodgett, Butler, Carlisle, Casey, Cockrell, Coke, Col- quitt, Culiom, Davis, Dixon, Eustis, Faulkner, Frye, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Hampton, Jones (Ark.), Kenna, Manderson, Mitchell, Pasco, Power, Quay, Kansom, Reagan, Sawyer, Sher- man, Squire, Stockbridge, Walthall, Washburn, Wilson (lowa)—36, Nays—Blair, Cameron, Edmunds, Hale, Hiscock, Hoar, Ingalls, Sanders—8, So the Senate proceeded to the consideration of exivar ena iacice ‘appropriation Lill. ‘Mr. Hampton having asked him to have a bill taken up for action, Mr. Frye excused himself for declining to do so and said that he had asked the finance committee to let him have two days for the consideration of the river and harbor bill—today and tomor- row—and that he should ask the Senate to re- main in session tomorrow until the bill was finished, He did not feel at liberty, therefore, ‘to y1eld any time for any other business, AMENDMENTS AGREED TO, Among the amendments reported by the committee on appropriations and agreed to by the Senate were the following: Increasing appropriations as follows: Harbor of refuge at Little Harbor, N.

HOUSE, Mr. Belden (N.Y.) made another unsuccessful effort to secure the passage of the Senate bill granting leaves of absence to per diem em- ployes in the customs service, Mr. Kerr (Iowa) assuming the role of objector in this instance. The House then proceeded to the conside: tion of the conference report on the Indian ap- he tener bill, which was presented by Mr. erkins (Kan. ) CRITICISING THE REPORT, Mr. Cannon (Ill.) criticised the report as being the most extraordinary one which had ever been submitted during his experience in the House, When the bill was first submitted to the House he had conceived it to be his duty to raise points of order against items aggre- ating in appropriation $330.000, ‘These items Raa eat stricken out. The Senate had agreed to amendments aggregating $1.200,000. The House had non-concurred in these amend- ments, Then this strange thing happened. The conference report carried the full amount of the bill as it passed the House, with the full amount of the Senate amendments and $12,000 more. The bill createda number of new of- fices and increased a number of salaries. Mr. Sayers (Tex.)—Have not many new offices been created all along the line? Mr. Cannon—Yes; but not so many as were created two years ago. We have not caught up with our democratic friends yet, but we are chasing them mighty close. (Laughter. } As reported from the conference committee, continued Mr. Cannon, the bill was unwise, extraordinary, unexampled, extravagant and ought not to be passed. MR. PEEL REPLIES. Mr. Peel of Arkansas (one of the conferees said that it was amusing to see the gentleman from Illinois criticising the Senate amend- ments. If the committee on -rules (of which) the gentleman was a distinguished figure) had given the committee on Indian affairs a day in court nearly all the provisio: embraced inthe Senate amendments would have been passed in ip wiped bills, The gentle- man, as a member of the committee on rules, had declined to give time to the committee on Indian affairs and now he found that he had sawed the limb off between himseif and the tree. Now he found himself confronted by the Senate amendments. Mr. Cannon—Which the gentleman from Arkansas made haste to agree to, Mr. Peel—I always agree to pay honest debts. Continuing, he said that the Senate, which was a deliberative body, would not have been beseechedand implored by the Indians to ob- tain some of their own money out of the ‘Treas- ury ifthe committee on Indian affairs had been allowed to pass some of its bills. The sense of justice in the Senate had been so strong that it had pvt the amendments theron, and in doing so it had done right, A SQUARE DENIAL. Mr. Gifford (S.D.), another of the conferees, denied absolutely and squarely that the con- ference committee had increased the amount of appropriation over the amount carried by the House bill and the Senate amendments. THE CREEK INDIANS. Mr. Hooker of Mississippi thought it unwise for the government to pay the Creek nation of Indians $400,000 of the principal due it by the United States under the treaty of 1866. If the Indians were competent to take care of 400,000, why they not competent to take charge of all the money due them by the government, It was not wise for the Indians to entrench upon the Principal, (This: was one of the provisions of the bill severely criticised by Mr. Cannon and defended by Perkins and Mr. Peel. Mr. Perkins said that the Creek Indians might be competent to take care of their prin- cipal, but their needs did not require it. ‘Thei necessities were such as to require an appro- ition of $400,000, and the commissioner of dian affairs and ihe Beccotary of the In- ppropriation. WHAT WILL HE DO? The Knights of Labor Expect Mr. Powderly to Help Them. THEY ARE LOTH TO LEAVE. The Grand Army Men Still Ex- changing Cordialities. ALL SORTS OF NEWS OF THE DAY- Roeder ts See TAKING THE OLD MEN BACK. The New York Central is Not Vengeful, but Wants to Do Justice. New York, August 15.—The statement of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company issued last night by Third Vice Presi- dent Webb, defining their position in regard to the reinstatement of the strikers, was read with interest by the ex-employes of the road this morning. They seem to think that tho state- ment is rather indefinite and that the company, while adhering to it in a nominal way, will take on the old employes as quickly as they make application for work. This, however, is not the professed opinion of Mr. Webb, who says that the declaration will be followed out by the com- pany both in spirit and letter. Few of the strikers were around this morning and these were uncommunicative. The expected visit of the members of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor to Vice President Webb was talked over and the conclusion ar- rived at that a compromise would be effected whereby the strikers could return with the sac- rifice of as little dignity as possible. Mr. Pow- derly and the other members of the board will probably call on Mr. Webb today. General Superintendent Voorhecs was the first of the railroad officials to reach his office in the Grand Central depot this morning. He said he was tired of hearing about the strike now and thought it was time for every one to agree that it was over. Mr. Voorhees would not say anything about the probable visit of Mr. Pow- derly to the officials. “It will be time enough to talk about Mr. Powderly when we have seen him,” he said. “I do not know the purport of his intended visit,” continued Mr. Voarhos, “and have no idea of what proposals he intends to make. Per- haps he may not come here at all. I was told that Mr. Lee was going to call on me last mght on his arrival trom Albany and talk over a plan of settlement, but Mr. Lee did not come. Now, I don’t think there is much talking required. They all know what the company is goiug to do in reference to the strikers, We have acted as fairly as we could in the matter. We don't need many more men now. The freight yard at 65th street is all right again. We will run the last of the old freight out today and by to- morrow we'll be in the same condition we were before the strike took place. While we still keep the police around us we fear no danger, but it’s just as well to be on the sate side of everything.” PASSENGER SERVICE ALL RIGHT. The passenger service in the depot is fully established and just as many trains are running as there would have been had the strike never taken place. The Boston and Albany railroad refused at Albany aconsignment of eastern- bound freight trom the Central this morning, and it is thonght that road will not take the risk of strike on their hands, as they know that their men are well organized and ready to Two car loads of Pout on any provocation. remen, forming a delegation from every lodge of western New York, passed through Albany at 40’clock this morning bound for New York city, where they will consult the managers of the road. One of them intimated thatasa matter of courtesy they were simply going to let the road know that they would not work with non-union train and switchmen. Unless the road consents to arbitrate with the men now out the firemen will strike on Saturday night, thus crippling the road entirely. Mr. Bissell said this morning: “The strike is over and we will today begin to get things in order.” WHAT THE EXECUTIVE BOARD WILL DO, Master Workman Lee of District 246 was seenat the Sherman House today. He said that when the executive board arrived that they would take the management of affsirs out of the district committee’s hands and run it themselves, Lee referred to the fact that the executive board had tried all day yesterday to communieate with him and failed, and said that any number of letters and telegrams that should have come to his hands never reached him. Ali this he attributes to Pinkerton’s men employed by the railroad com- ny. Mr. Powderly, it is expected, will reach Bere to ight. In the meantime matters will remain as they are. At the headquarters of the strikers in this city the fact that the ex- ecutive officers of the Knights of Labor had at last decided to take an active part in the strug- gle gave renewed encouragement to the men, who expect great results, They declare that it is more than likely that the knights employed on the whole Vanderbilt system would be ordered out — unless — some sort of settlement is reached by the com- pany and the general executive board. On its arrival here the latter body will hold a conference with the District leader to learn the situation of affairs. This accomplished, it is understood the execu- tive board will call upon Third Vice President Webb and offer to submit the whole matter to arbitration. If this proposition is declined it isclaimed the executive board will order a tie-up. Chief Inspector Byrnes has withdrawn many of the police detailed at the outset of the trouble to preserve order and protect the company’s property. BRAKE HOSE CUT. Avsaxy, N. ¥., August 15.—The air-brake hose on the Harlem transient out from Chat- ham this morning was found to have been cut and resort was made to the old branes. Men are at work in the East and West Albany yards on the confused mass of cars. One freight was sent west from East Albany at 10 o'clock, The strikers are as quiet as ordinary spectators, THE SITUATION AT BUFFALO, Borraxo, N.Y., August 15.—There is no change in the railroad strike situation here. The strikers held a meeting last night, but no action of importance was taken. Three Cen- tral switchmen who refused to be removed from posts at East Buffalo to take places of strikers in the depot and were discharged made an effort last night to induce the Switchmen’s Union to take action against the road, but failed, Very little freight is being moved, the reason given being that the road is crowded east. There is little talk this morning about the rumored intention of the firemen to strike, and it looks as if the strikers had given up hope in that quarter. THAT SAME OLD CONFIDENCE. Syracuse, N. ¥., August 15.—A Knight of Labor reported in person from Albany to the local assembly here this morning that no through freight trains had been moved from East Syracuse or West Tf ards. Some local freights have been mov: knights express themselves as confident as ever of success. All is quiet here and two car loads of the Pinkerton men stationed here were sent on to Albany today.

DESERTED STREETS, The city streets today seem to have about their normal crowds, ouly a little larger than the average, and the badges and decorations of visiting posts are not nearly so numerous, b that may be accounted for by the absence about 500 in =the = excursion historic Plymouth.

PINKERTON MEN KILLED, Backs Down on Avnany, N. ¥., August 15.—Two of the Pink- erton detectives at West Albany met a horrible death at an early hour this morning.

Its only present use, be said, is to protect the Illinois Central Kailroad Company's docks. The recent construction of the new north pier, he added, had made the Chicago river perfectly accessible to storm-beaten ves- sels, and he has already, in an official report to the Secretary of War, practically recom- mended that the harbor be abandoned by the government, —_-___ From Wall Street Today.
