HARMONY DISTURBED Republican and Democratic Senators Agree, But Mr. Plumb Objects. A LIMIT TO TARIFF DEBATE. Conference Report on the Sundry Civil Bill. RESPECT TO MR. WATSON’S MEMORY: SENATE, The Senate met at 10a.m. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Plumb to prohibit the sale of spirituous, vinous or malt liquorsin the Senate wing of the Capitol was taken up, but, in the absence of Messrs, Blair and Butler, who had offered amendmemis, it went over till tomorrow. A8 TO CLOSING THE DEBATE ON THE SENATE BILL. The tariff bill was then taken up. Mr. Aldrich referred to the unusual Jength of the discussion that has taken place on the tariff, ond said that that fact and the knowledge (shared by all) that the business of the country was in a state of anxious suspense awaiting the result of the Senate’s delibera- tion led him to ask Senators on the other side to consider the question of fixing the date of closing the debate and of having a final vote ‘on the passage of the bill. He made this sug- gestion not for the purpose of preventing ample discussion on the remaining paragraphs in the bill, but because he believed that the orderly disposition of the public business as well as the convenience of Senators required an arrangement of that kind. He would be glad to hear from Senators on the other side if they had any proposition to make in that re- gard. MH. GORMAN SAYS THE MINORITY ARE WILLING TO HAVE A LIMIT FIXED. Mr. Gorman said that it had been the hon- ored custom of the Senate on all revenue measures and legislation necessary for the con- duct of the government that after full and free discussion the Senate came to some agreement as tothe time for taking the vote. That cus- tom had always enabled the Senate to discuss fairly and freely all such measures, There had been heretofore demonstration of the wisdom of the Senate rule for unlimited debate, but there always arrived atime when an agree- ment such as that proposed was made. He therefore thought that he was perfectly at liberty to speak for his colleagues when he said that they would be very glad if the Sena- tor in charge of the bill had any suggestion to make that he would make it now. MR. ALDRICH’S PROPOSITION. Mr. Aldrich—I have prepared a proposition which I «sk unanimous consent to have adopted. The paper was read. It proposed that the consideration of the tariff bill shall be con- tinued, to the exclusion of all other business except appropriation bills and conference re- ports, to and inciuding September 1, subject to general debate; and during September 2, 3 and 4 subject to the five-minute rule in debate; that no Senator shall spenk on any one question more than once; aud that on September 5 and thereafter the consideration to be continued on the bill or amendments, without debate, to and including the third reading, when three hours shall be allowed tocach side for general debate, and then the final vote slfill be taken on its passage, Mr. Cullom—On what date is the final vote to be taken? Mr. Aldrich—My suggestion istthat the gen- eral debate shail close on the lst of Septem- ber. It is merely a suggestion. I am quite willing if Senators on the other side or on this side think that the time proposed is insufficient to consent to any reasonable extension. THE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE. A SLIGHT EXTENSION OF THE TERM. Mr. Gorman—I am aware that in the con- sideration of this bill we have spent twonty- four days, and that the long hours of the daily sittings, from 10 till 6, have taxed us all to an extent that hag not been beneficial to health at all events, and have, poly, delayed some- what the progress of ‘the bill.’ As compared with any revenue measure in the past we have considered this tariff bill a greater number of hours and it has filled a greater number of columns in the Record than any previous meas- ure of the kind, but there were special reasons why this should be so. This is the only place and the only time when the bill could be con- sidered and fairly discussed. He thought the suggestion of the Senator from Rhode Island reasonably fair, but it would be more satisfac- tory to the demoeratic side of the chamber if the time of general debate were extended to the 3d of September and_ then to have three days for the five-minute debate. That would bring the time for taking the final vote to the Sth of September, two weeks from today, If that were agreeable to the republican side of the chamber it would be equally so, he thought, to the democratic side. Of course allowance would be made for time that might be con- sumed in the consideration of conference re- ports, AN AGREEMENT REACHED TO TAKE A VOTE SEP- TEMBER 8, Mr. Aldrich expressed his willingness to have the memorandum modified as suggested by Mr. Gorman, It was therefore modified so as to continue the general discussion up to and in- cluding Wednesday, September 3; to have five minutes’ debate on Thursday, 4, Friday, 5, and Saturday, 6, and to fix Monday, September 8, and thereafter for consideration of the bill an amendments without debate; then three hours to be allowed to cach side for general debate, and then the final yote to be taken on the pas- sage of the bill. The presiding officer (Mr. Tagalls) asked whether there was any objection to having the order entered, MR. PLUMD OBJECTED, and asked to have the matter go over till to- morrow. It seemed to him that the time fixed in the order was too short. At all events there should be some other division of the time, aithough he was not prepared to make a sug- gestion on that point, The most important thing to be taken into account had yet to come before the Senate—for instance, about what was tobe done in restraint of trusts, about reciprocity. about the effect of the bill on the revenues, and as to whether there would be money enough to carry on the government if the bill became a law. All these things had to be taken into account. While he was as willing to take the chance as other Senators were he did not care to do so until he bad at least time to consider the proposition. He had not known anything about it in advance except in a cer- tain way, and he thought that it should go over till tomorrow, Mr. Aldrich—Then I offer the memorandum in the form of an amendment to the rules. I give notice that I will ask tomorrow for a modification of the rules in accordance with the memorandum, THE DEMOCRATS ARE SATISFIED. Mr. Gorman—I trust that the Senator from Rhode Island will not pursue that course. I do not think that it will be necessary. I am en- tirely within bounds when I say that every Senator on this side will agree to the terms a mayrs r. Aldrich—I do not think that the ar- rangement ought to fail from the objection of 8 Senator or ofa minority if it is satisfactory to a large majority of the body, and it is for the purpose of avoiding the possibility of that that I have given the notice. Mr. Gorman suggested that if the daily hours of the-sittings were not sufficient EVENING SESSIONS MIGHT BE HELD. Mr. Harris said that he understood Mr. Plumb’s object in having the order go over till the order tomorrow. He that the step proposed (to amend the rules) but said that he wonld ask mnanimous consent tomorrow morning. BILLS PASSED. The bill was laid aside informally. Senate bill to repeal section 3952 and 3953 of the Re- vised Statutes (relating to post office bids) was taken from the calendar and passed, House bill for the erection of a tower for a first-order ——— Smith's Island, Va., (not to cost more than $150,000) was taken from the calendar and passed, wi numerous amendments making appropriations for hght houses and fog signals in various other parts of the country. A conferetice was asked and Messrs, Dolph, Washburn and Ransom were appointed con- ferees on the part of the Senate. THE TARIFF BILL was again taken up, the pending question be- ing on paragraph 193, page 45, imposing a duty of 13g cents per pound on lead ore and lead dross; provided that silver ore and all other ores containing lead shall pay a duty of 13¢ cents per pound for the lead con- tained therein, according to sample and assay at the port of entry. Mr. Coke moved to amend by striking out the proviso and inserting a proviso that ores containing SILVER AND LEAD in which the lead is of less value than silver, shall be admitted free of duty. He reviewed the history of the question and read extracts from The Two Republics and from the Finan- cier, published in Mexico, showing the bad policy and injurious effect of the taxa- tion of Mexican ores. He said that the Pans of the bill as reported would destroy the smelting works in Texas, Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis; render useless the refractory ores of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas and throw a large number of men out of employment, and drive from the United States the trade with Mexico, valuable not only for American manufacturers but for American farmers. It seemed to him absolutely suicidal to impose such a tax on those ores, which were 80 necessary to Americans and so productive of trade relations between the two coun- tries. There was nothing dearer to the Mexican people than the desire to have close an intimate commercial relations ith the United States. Mexico was a large producer of raw materials, which were needed by American manufacturers; and Amer- ican manufactured products, as well as Amer- ican agricultural products, were needed in Mexico, especially in the arid regions of that country. The lead ore paragraph was a direct slap in the face to the republic of Mexico, and an assertion that the United States wanted no relations or trade with it. MR. REAGAN FOLLOWED with an argument on the same lines, There were, he said, about twenty-four reduction es- tablishments in the United States engaged in the separation of the metals when they were contained in the same __ ore. The amount of fiuxing ores in the United States Was smaller as compared with the refractory ores. The ores brought from Mexico were of the kind that are most valuable and, indeed, necessary for the fluxing of the dry ores found in Missouri, Texas, New Mexico and various other parts of the United States. The ores that were brought in for that ay jose contained silver and - gold. Under the ruling of the Treasury Department, and under the opinion of the Senate judiciary committee, the law, as it now stood, admitted those ores free of duty when the silver in them was not of a greater value than the lead. THE OBJECT OF THE PROVISION in the bill was to impose a duty of 13¢ centaa pound on these ores to the amount of lead that wasinthem without regard to the silver or other metal which they contained. The effect of that would be, Mr. Reagan said, to break up « good many of the establishments engaged in the re- duction of these metals in the United States; to destroy a very large industry in which some ten or twelve million dollars was invested, and to turn out of employment a very large ber of men. if the theory of the bill was the protection of home _ indus- tries, then the provision ought to be atruck out, for it would have the very oppo- site effect. One of its objects seemed to be to break up the trade between the United States and Mexico, and the effect of it would un- doubtedly be to inflict great injury on both countries. MR. CARLISLE ALSO OPPOSED the proviso in the paragraph. He could see no satisfactory reason for the imposition of a duty on the lead contained in silver ore. He had not been able to see any satisfactory testi- mony showing that American industry was in- jured in any way whatever by that imposition, One the contrary it had been abundantly shown, he thought, that it was a great benefit. TRE TAX WAS ALSO A DIRECT BLOW at American trade with the republic of Mexico at a time when everybody on both sides of the chamber rofessced to believe that that trade ought to be encouraged and extended. He had happened to be in the City of Mexico last summer when there was an appropriation pending before the Secrotary of the Treasury to reverse the ruling of the department and to collect duties from the lead contained in silver ores, and he knew that there vere discussions then for the formation of English and other foreign syndi- cates for the establishment of smelting works in Mexico, The effect of that would be (Mr. Carlisle said) to diminish the work done in American smelting establishments and to re- duce the amount of employment now given to American workme: And yet Senators on the other side professed a desire to promote the interests of American labor. THE AMERICAN LEAD TRUST. Mr. Teller asked Mr. Carlisle whether the American lead trust was in favor of the pro- posed duty, Mr. Carlisle professed @ want of knowledge on that point, Mr. Teller asserted that the American lead trust had kept a lobby all the session working against the proposition, Mr. Carlisle said that nobody connected with the lead trust or any other trust had ever approached him on the subject, and he did not know whether the trust was opposing or was advocating the roposition. His own opinion was that es ex- isting situation was such as to make that prop- osition altogether unnecessary and unjustifiable. The ore had been coming to the United States for years and years and there has been no showing that any one in the country had been injured by it. On the contrary, it had afforded ~~ employment, at good wages, to a number of American laborers, and alsoa large amount of trans- portation to the railroads of the United States and to the Mexican railroads that were largely conducted by American capital. ‘MR. ALDRICH ASKED MR. CABLISLE if he thought it fair to have one form of lead required to paya duty of 13¢ centsa pound and to have another form of lead free of duty. Mr. Carlisle replied that the question as- sumed that he was in favor of im 7 a duty of 13¢ cents o pound on lead ore, which was not the case. If he had his own will all lead ore would be free. Mr, McPherson argued in support of Mr. Coke’s amendment, and declared that the aragraph, as it stood in the bill, was in the terest of the lead trust, Mr. Vest said that he intended to be gov- in his action on the bill not by any class interest but by the general interest of the ple of the United States, The imposition of the duty on these ores was mich" tho “countey’ eught, to” pean wi country o He believed that the country wanted cheaper raw material and commercial intercourse, and that the imposition of higher rates on raw materials operated the le of the United States in both di and where or industries gach og eam the HOUSE.

STRUCK SOME SNAG. | The Federated Council at Terre Haute POWDERLY UP AT ALBANY. —_——o The Delaware and Hudson Ex- pecting Some Sort of Trouble. GREAT SUSPENSE ABOUT THE STRIKE. ——_—_+ —— LIKE A BOMBSHELL, The United Railway Leaders Again in Session at Terre Haute. Tenne Havre, Inp., August 25.—The execu- tive council of the United Order of Railway Employes went into session about 8 o'clock this morning. When the session will come to an end no member of the council knows. The council are listening to a report formulated by the committee. At what time any decision will come to the public cannot be stated at the present writing. One member of the council said this morning: “I can’t tell you when it will take a vote. I can't tell you what the vote will be. Be satisfied, however, that when the re- port of the committee is given out it will be in the nature of a bombshell. At 11 o'clock this morning Mr. Hannahan, a member of the council, said that it was impos- sible for the council to determine how long the Present session would last, “Certain it is,” suid he, “that the public need expect nothing from us until 5 or 6 o'clock. I can’t say that it will be possible to give anything out then. When we are through no delay will be taken by us in letting the outcome of our meeting be known.” Mr. Hanahen today is the spokesman of the council, STRUCK A SNAG. It was not until 9 o'clock, however, that the council was formally called to order and at the same time word was sent to the represent- atives of the to await important news, which would be ready in an hour. This period quickly passed, but still Delegate Hannahan Kept guard over the door and there was no signal that a decisive bailot had been reached. New complications must evidently have arisen, for when another hour had passed word came from one source that it would be noon or later before the anxiously awaited announcement would be made, while from another source came @ suggestion that the press representa- tives could safely go a fishing if they were so inclined until supper time. Both last night and this morning the delegates were so emphatic in their statements that it would require but a brief period to fin- ish their business that it is apparent that the report of the committee has struck a snag. It is noticeable, moreover, that in the guarded remarks of the delegates outside the conference chamber since yesterday stress has been laid on the fact that the assertions of Sargent and others that they indorse what Powderly is do- ing and that they will fight to the last minute for the rights of organized labor have been too closely connected. “I indorse Mr. Powderly,” says Mr. Sargent, in the latest public remarks he has made on the question, “with all my heart, and I want to say that he has beon = nanimous, but the federation has its laws whic! must be obeyed, and whether or not a strike should be ordered is therefore another ques- tion.” Under the laws of the federation no such strike as that now on with the Central com- pany could have been ordered. That the council is apprehensive of a collision with the Central is true, but the trouble has been to find an origin independent of the present strike. The delegates fully realize that they are ina trying position. As some of them ex- pressed it last night: ‘We are between the devil and the deep sea, but we have gone so far that we are bound to reach conclusion that will be rayne Kg organized labor, to capital and to the publie.” On the whole it appears on the surface, as statedin last mght's dispatches, that the council, while proffering material and moral aid to Powderly, will re- frain, for the present at least, from plunging ite own forces into the conflict. HOW IT LOOKS AT NEW YORK. New York, August 25.—While the Grand Central depot looked this morning just as it does every busy morning in the year the peo- ple about it were waiting with a good dea! of expectancy the developments which the con- vention of the Supreme Council of the United Order of Railway Brotherhoods, now in session in Terre Haute, might bring forth. ‘The rail- road officials assert that nothing will come out of the convention and that no general strike will be declared, General Superintendent Voorhees said today that the federation will not strike. “I am positive,” he said, “that the wiser counsels will revail. The chiefs of the federation see they Pave nothing to strike for and that no principle in which they are involved is at issue. Even if they decide to strike 1 think we can manipulate the New York Central road without a great deal of inconvenience to the public.” Mr. Voorhees still holds that very few of the firemen will go outin any case, and that few union switchmen are left ou the Central to re- spond to the federation’s call. He said he did not think that the Knights of Labor now in convention in Albany will order a strike, but this he believes will be ineffective. Vise President Webb had nothing startling to say for publication this morning. He has arranged to begin, he says, the investigation into the charges against Assistant Chief Fore- man G. R. Pierce made by the men who signed the affidavits which Mr. Powderly attached to his last pronunciamento. If he finds that they are true he will deal with Pierce accordingly, and if not true he will do all he can to lift the stigma from Pierce's reputation. THE KNIGHTS IN TROY. Troy, N.Y., August 25.—Grand Master Work- man Powderly, Secretary Hayes and Messrs, Devlin and Wright of the executive board of the Knights of Labor arrived in Troy this morning. They were met by local knights, who had been made aware of their coming, and a short conference occurred.

Superintendent Hammond of the Delaware and Hudson, at 11 am., said: We have com- menced moving local freight with « third of our usual complement of men, whom we brought here from other points on our road. I have more applications for work from men right here in Albany than would fill all the strikers’ places. I think, however, I shall be content with my new force for the present and give the men another opportunity to come ba to work.
