The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Plumb instructing the committee on rules to issue such orders as will wholly prevent the sale of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors in the Senate wing of the Capitol was taken up— the first question being on Mr. Butler's amend- ment directing the sergeant-at-arms to make daily inspection of committee rooms and other apartments, Mr. Hawley expressed his rogret at Mr. Butler's absence. because the amendment (he had no doubt) had been offered as a satire or a joke. Ie protested against putting ou record anything so offensive, The amendment was rejected. TO PROHIBIT ALL LIQUOR DRINKING IN THE SEN- ATE WING. The next question was on tho amendment offered by Mr. Blair to add the words, ‘and their use as a beverage.” Mr. Blair eaid that the great evil was not in the sale of liquors, but in their consumption. It was idle to talk of tho selling of an occxsional lass of liquor in the restaurant while the real evil was omitted, That real evil was the con- sumption of liquor by Senators in their com- mittee rooms, Mr. Harris remarked that the committee on rules had complete jurisdiction over the Senate wing of the Cupitcl, and he was inclined to think that the best policy would be to let the resolution and amendment go to the committee on rules, which wougd (he had no doubt) give prompt attention to the matter and determine what ought to be done, GOING TOO FAR. -Mr.Teller said that he had no sympathy with the amendment. It was a proper thing that no liquor should bo sold in the Capitol, but the attempt to say what a Senator should or should not do, in regard to the use of liquor, seemed tohim tobe going too far, He had. never tasted a drop of intoxicating liquor in his hfe. He thought that it might be assumed, and ought tobe assumed, that every member of the body was a self-respecting gentleman. As had been said the other morning, he knew of no other body of men 80 temperate as the Senate, For the last two years at least there had been no exhibition of drunkenness in the chamber, such as was said to have occurred torty or fifty or sixty or seventy years ago, The American Senate was a temperate body, and all intimations that there was some necessity for a rule to restrain Senators from the exce five use of intoxicating drinks were entirely without foundation. Nobody knew better than the Senator from New Hampshire that that was not the case. He would, therefore, vote against the amendment and for the resolution, MR. SHERMAN VOUCIES FOR THE TEMPERANCE OF SENATORS. Mr. Sherman concurred in the views ex- pressed by Mr. Teller. When he compared the habits of Senators today with what they used to be twenty or thirty years ago he thought thata remarkable change had occurred. He believed that the Senate was as temperate as any bedy of men to be found in the United States, “The committe» on rules, he was sure, would deal with the question more wisciy than tho Senate could. ‘ihe resolution had con- sumed very valuable time, and he moved its reference to the committee on rules, TEETOTALERS IN THE SENATE. Mr. Frye favored that motion. His reputa- tion as a temperance man would justify him in doing so, The newspapers had been in the habit of saying that the Senator from New Hampshire (Mr. Blair) and himself were the only teetotalers in the United States Senate, but that was uot correct. There were within reach of his voice scores of Senators who were tec- totalers, He could seo one on the democratic side, (Laughter.] In fact, he could see more than one, which was rather remarkable. [Re- newed laughter.] He knew the keeper of the Senate restaurant, He was proud to say that he had been his personal and warm. friend a good many years. He (Mr. Frye) had been Mr, Page’s guest when he was a man of wealth, and bis character was as good now as it had been when he was arich man, Mr. Page would obey implicitly any instructions that the com- mittee on rules would give him. Mr, Gibson concurred in the good character given of Senators, Ho had asked himself the explanation of it, and (secing that Senators were mostly elderly men) had found it in Roche- foucault’s maxim: ‘As we grow old our vices leave us and we call ourselves virtuous,” MR. BLAIR REPELLED THE INTIMATION that he had done anything to befoul the sena- torial nest. Mr. Frye took for granted that what he had said about teetotalers on the democratic side was understood to be said in a jocnlar manner, He knew that there were as many temperance Sen- ators on the democratic side as there were on the republican sid REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON RULES. Mr, Sherman’s motion was agreed to and the resolution and amendment were referred to the committee on rules, THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT RESOLUTION. The concurrent resolution offered by Mr. Bate on Monday directing suspension of the work in the erection of the Lafayette statue until further action by Congress was taken up and was, after a statement by Mr. Evarts of the o>jection to its adoption, laid over till tomor- row. THE TARIFF BILL was then (11:15) taken up, the question being on a substitute offered by Mr. MePherson yes- terday for schedule D—“wood and manufact- ures of wood. Mr. Davis addressed tho Senate. He spoke of the genera! impression that the country was entering on an era of unexampled material prosperity, and said that the renewal of pros- perity was largely the result of wise legislation enacted (the silver bill) and to be enacted (the tariff bill), ‘The latter was in its gencral aspect a wisely devised moasure, and he should criti- is not in its entirety, but in the hope of a ation of some of its items, He thought that it should be amended IN THE DIRECTION OF RECIPROCITY, so as to secure to American farmers trade with foreign nations, especially with South America, Mexico and the West India Islands. But there was one item in the bill of extraordinary im- portance to the people of Minnesota; that was the item of binding twine, SHOULD GO ON THE FREE LIST, In his opinion that article should go on the free list, and should be subject to no duty or tax whatever. The matter affected the farmers of every state in the Union. It affected the people of Minnesota to the amount of nearly a million dollars a year. The entire business (including the sources from which that com- modity was sepniied) was governed by a com- bination of all (or substantially) the manufac- turersof cordage and binding twine, That combination controlled absoiutely the raw ma- terial (sisal, jute, &c.,) in the places where it was grown, and aiso limited the product of the manufactured article and fixed its price. ‘That combination (Mr. Davis went on to say) cousisted of 42 munfacturing companies in the United States and 7 or 9 in Canada Theso companies were banded together by ‘THE COHESIVE FORCE-OF COMMON INTEREST. They were superior to all law, In the Philippine Islands they limited and controlled the price of one-half of the raw material, and in Yucatan they controlled the other half, ‘They had one man in New York to purchase for them all, and a committee of three to limit the output and to fix the price, They were as far above legisiative control as the clouds that floated above the Capitol. They were in no need of protection, They were amply able to protect themselves and to spoliate the world. And yet they come to Congress and said that they would shut up their mills and cease production uniess they received the additional protection of 14; cents per pound. They were amenable to the law against trusts. and certainly the Senate should not legislate in favor of men under the of outlawry, BIG PROFITS. Mr. Davis showed from figures that the profits of the manufacturers of binding twine were 40 Per cent, and as it required $12,000,000 worth of twine to secure the crop of the country for the present year, that represented $4,000,000 of profit. There was no reason why such a pre- adamite infant of protection should be fostered any longer at the nation’s breast. The evil had become so unbearable that the state authorities of Minnesota were about to set up in the state's prison at Stillwater machinery to attempt to manufacture binding twine out of the flax fiber grown in that state. IT WAS A STRIKING COMMENTARY on protection to that industry that the greatest wheat-producing state in the Union had been compelled to set up in its penitentiary a con- vict opposition to that all-comprehending, un- satisfied and extortionate monopoly. Passing from this special subject Mr. Davia addressed himself to the “desirability of unrestricted commercial relations with our sister republics to the south.” That desirability, he said, had recently forced itself upon public attention an had received unqualified approval The Senate should uot fail to use the power it possessed to open to American farmers and manufacturers the foreign markets of millions of people with whom American intercourse was now slight and infrequent, That conception of reciproc- ity was not new, but it was now appartune. It was the conviction of the American people that other opportunities than the home market solely should be sought and that the country should have commerce as well as trade. Eager- ness for a foreign market had taken the place of indifference. ‘There was a general desire that the American flag should display itself (as it had once done) in every land and on every sea, THE MOST OBVIOUS OPPORTUNITIES were at the very doors of the ‘country. The tariff bill presented the means of securing the greatest and most enduring reciprocal advantages with other nations. In this connec- tion Mr. Davis quoted an extract from the President’s message ot June 19. 1890, and re- ferred to the reciprocity amendments offered by Senators Pierce, Hale and Edmunds, He would retain the duty on sugar, he said, as an instrument of coercive persuasion, to the en- largement of the American foreign trade. by relating that duty as the considera- tion therefor. By the action of Spain Ameri- can flour and other a were wholly shut out from Cuba and Porto Rico. To give Spain free sugar into the United States under such circumstances would be an act of Quix- otisin which Cervantes could never have imag- ined, He would impose A DUTY ON COFTEE tothe sameend. As to wool, he would give to the American farmer the fullest protection on the kinds of wool that he raised, but if it was found that American farmers could not or would not produce the coarse wools of the Argentine Republic, he would put on or retain the duty on the coarse wools of Sonth America as a basis of negotiation for a reciprocity that would create a market in that country for the products of the farms and factories of the United States, He would adopt the same policy as to hides, rubber, cocoa, cabinet woods and many other articles. RETALIATION AGAINST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. He would also adopt retaliatory measures against France, Germany and England for their exclusion of American meat products. That would be true protection tothe American farmer. It would remedy many objectionable features of the bill. It would place the measure beyond the reach of the charge that there was not a section or a line in the entire bill that would open a market for another bushel of wheat or another bar- rel of pork. Reciprocity with the Cen- tral and South American states would aid American shipping interests more than all the lavish subsidies could possibly do. It would aid them upon the unquestionable basis of fufnishing cargocs for shipsto carry, The Senate was dealing with A THOROUGHLY PRACTICAL QUESTION. The pending bill would fix the commercial policy of the government for many years, Why should tho protective policy be limited to the home market? The Americans could not forever live and grow rich off one another. The home — market was 60 completely possessed that in tho conflict of interests the very principle of protection had been in many instancos self-thwarting and contradictory. Americans were now prepared to engage in a foreign trade which would be greater than all they had before the war, when they were the foremost maritime nation of the world, In the presence of such practical considerations the theories of free trade and protection became scholastic subtle- tics, MR. M'PHERSON CONGRATULATED MR. DAVIS on his speech and on the very able demonstration he had given of the effect of the duty on bind- ing twine. He was only sorry that that Sonator had not gone further and stated the effect on the farmers of Minnesota of the duty of from 50 to 60 per cent on cotton goods and other arti- cles. He had not keard the Senator complain- ing of trusts formed in other industries nor had he noticed that the Senator had voted against higher rates of duties in crder to break down trusts and to cheapen products. Mr. McPherson's substitute for the wood schedule and some amendments offered by Mr. Plumb to some of its paragraphs went over without action, leaving the whole schedule still open, TNE TOBACCO SCHEDULE. ‘The sugar schodule was also passed over in- formally, and the tobacco schedule (F) was taken up. The question as to the duty on Sa- matra tobacco was diseussed by Messrs, McPher- son, Vest, Carlisle, Pasco and Gorman on the dem- ocratic side and Messrs, Aldrich, Platt und Spooner on the republican ‘side. In the course of the discussion Mr. Gorman repeated what he had said on several previons occasions, that the extray- agance of Congress would make an increase of revenue necessary, 80 as to prevent the gov- ernment becoming bankrupt. The duties had been run up so high in the pending bill as to be in many cases prohibitory. and it would be necessary to increase the internal revenue tax- ation. The Senate ought, therefore, he said, to have a full — statement from the Senator in charge of the bill as to its probable effect on the revenue, and the bill uld be discussed from that point of view, not merely from the view of protection. HOUSE, After prayer by the chaplain Mr. McClammy (N.C.) made the point of order that there was no quorum present. Tho Speaker directed the doorkeepers to notify members in the commit- tee rooms that their attendance was required in the House, but even this movement brought into the chamber but 85 members. A call of the House was ordered, ‘The call disclosed the presence of 163 mem- bers and the House waited patiently for ten minutes until the three absentecs nec to make a quorum reported themselves to the clerk.

THEY STILL HOLD OUT| Leaders of the Knights of Labor Keep Up the Strike, DEMOCRATS IN CONVENTION. The Chicago Stockyards Strike Likely to Extend. THE NEWS OF THE DAY BY TELEGRAPH > THE KNIGHTS PERSIST. They Will Not Give Up the New York Central Strike. New Yorx, Angust 27.—The Knights of Labor | have played their Inst card against the New York Central railroad. All thoy can do now is to await the result. By tonight they will have called out every man who owes them alle- giance and the strike will be enforced as strongly as the organization can enforce it. Railroad officials state that they are jaughing at the efforts o: Mr. Powderly to tie up the road, and say they are managing their business better than ever,notwithstanding | the shouting of the strikers,’ General Master Workman Powderly and Secretary Jolin J. Hayes have again taken up their quarters in the St. Cloud Hotel and spent the morning in j arranging — for “spreading the strike.” Mr. Powderly was tired after bis of- | forts on the Union Square platform last night | and did not leave his room. Mr. Hayes came | eokind tai sees 10 a send off some dis- Aches and announced his plan of campaign the reporters, aie? “We do not intend to extend the strike be- yond the New York Cehtral road for some time yet.” said Mr. Hayes. “Ali our energies for the next few days will be devoted to tying up the Central. War has been declared and there 18 no compromise. I think we have crippled the road pretty badly already, and it will not take much more work on our part to tie it up.” “How tmany more men can you cail out on the Central?” Mr. Hayes was asked. ““Vory few more, L admit. Most of our men came out on the first call. There are some men, however, who are working in out of the places and on the tributary roads whom we can take out. When they stop work I think wecan say the Central is effectively tied up, DOW IT WILL BE DONE. “We will not call out men on other roads who handle New York Central freight becauso we might clash with the laws of this and other States, But we will allow the local assemblies to call them out, and then we (I mean the o: ecutive board, of course,) will imdorse the action, I think we can bring tho freight trattic to a standstill, notwithstanding the declarations of Webb and Voorhees, Why, only two treight trains of thirty cars left New York yesterday.” Vice President Webb was seen and in reply to aquestion said: _“'What do I think of the course of the federa- tion? A wise course for the men, I say. The leaders of the federation are astute and cool headed, Theiraction and subsequent state- ments of their course will do « great deal to harmonize the relations between employers andemployes. I don’t mind the tittle things they said about myseif, for these were said in the heat of the moment.” THE OUTLOOK AT ALBANY. ABayy, August 27.—It was expected that a large number of striking knights would return to work in the yards and shops at West Albany this morning. Very few, however, returned to work, and the men who witnessed this detec- tion in their ranks declared that they were more determined than ever to stand firm, Superintendent Bissell is at West Albany this morning. The company is moving about one-half its usual day’s amount of freight and the blockade cannot be said to be effectually raised as yet. Mr. Bissell said the company’s situation improves more and more ach day passes by and their new men are rapidly becoming used to their positions, Superintendent Hammond of the Delaware and Hudson ys the full force of thirty yard men at Schenectady are still out. “The situation in tho yards in Albany remains unchanged. Only two of the strikers have returned to work thus far. One of the Central strikers said this morning that the men would not go back to work at the earliest until Mr. Depew had returned. He added that Mr. Depew would receive a committee from the striking knights, recognizing it as represent- ing the organization. —__—_ THE HOP CROP. The Yield 20 Per Cent Below the Average Crop. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., August 27.—The New England Homestead's carefully prepared repor? of the hop crop of the country shows that there is a considerable shortage, particularly in New York state. The average yield of ali the grow- ing territory will fall near 20 per cent under a full crop. In New York stato only th fourths of an average crop will be harvested. Massachusetts, which grows few hops, will have 75 per cent of a full crop; Maino, 90 per cx Vermont, a tuilcrop; Wisconsin, 60 per cen Calitornia, 9 per cent. Prices have reached 40c, 2 pound in New York and 97 fornia. The prices offered in these two govern the sales in other states. While the crop is short the quality is better than usual. Pry weather checked the making of the vine, which accounts for the light yield. —_— COMING HERE, The American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science Adjourns. Ispraxarotis.

The London Budget of European an@ Eastern News and Gossip. Loxpox, August 27.Lord Chas. Beresford, One of the most competent of English naval officers, has broken silence regarding the im- Portance of Heligoland to Germany, and is quoted as saying that the real value of the island lies in its relation to the new caval which is to unite the North sea and the Baltic. From the moment that Germany aspired to be a maritime power the necessity was imposed Upon her of maintaining two fleets, one in the = ses and one in the Baltic, In case of war either in the east or the west these two fleets can unite through the canal, without the danger of interruption by Denmark or any hostile power, in making the transit by ea Bat so jong as Heligoland was neutral the union of the two German fleets could be pre= vented, or at least rendered precarious, by am enemy's fleet stationed near the island. The Possession and fortitication of Heligoland by Germany renders it impossible for an enemy to prevent the junction.

Cucaco, August 27.—Fears entertained re terday that the strike of the stock yard switche men would involve a general strike appear to have been well grounded. A carioad of beef Was switched from the Lake Shore rond to the Fort Wayne road about 11 o'clock last night, A switch engine and crew went to receive it and the forcman ordered the men to couple on tothe beef car. This they refused to do and they and the other switchmen in the Fort Wayne yards struck at miduight. The Fort Wayne switchmen hold that the men of the same craft belonging to the Lake Shore road are non-union men, otherwise the cars of beet would uot have been turned over by them tw the Fort Wayne yards, theretore they declined to handle the beef cars. “ - Some The Quincy Inquest.
