Washington, July 21.—The tariff con- ference report was presented to the on it beyond the formal reading of about two-thirds of the report. There was no indication ef when the final vote would be reached. During the -day Mr. Tillman openly threatened a filibuster until next December if cot- ton bagging and cotton ties were not restored to the free list, but the threat was regarded as somewhat facetious. ar amendments occasioned a long debate during which Mr. Alli- son stated that the conference rates were lower than those of the senate ard largely a cone Senators Vest, Berry joned this statement, urging that sugar trust secured larger benefits frem the conference schedule than from any previously offered. The jum- ber amendment also brought out ani- mated criticism 10m Senato and Pettigrew.

Karly in Jones of Arkansas made against the conference com- a conte: “ mittee on the ground that it had ex- its authority in so amending raph relating to printing pa- placing a retaliatory duty against the countries paying export duty on wood pulp. Has point of or- der was debated at much length, and ly overruled by Vice President Hobart. This removed the only ob- stacle thus far encountered by the re- port. The reciprocity amendment and the abandonment of the stamp tax on ids and stocks developed much crit- ceeded the parag per as to shington, July 23. — Shortly be- the s e adjourned yesterday ‘on, in charge of the tariff bill, made strong effort to have a time fixed for the final vote on the con- ference rep Failing in this, Mr. ‘Allisen gaye notice that the session to- y weuld be protracted with a view to securing a yote. It was the first » movement made thus far to- ard bringing the debate to a close. ‘Allison's first proposition was for vote 5 o'clock to-day, but this was objected to by Mr, Pettus of Ala- bana. Then he proposed a vote some time before adjournment to-day, which objected to by Mr. Morgan. The suggestion of Saturday at 1 o’elock et with like objection from Mr, Mor- gan. The Alabama senator explained his last objection by stating that he thought all debate on the report would be exhausted to-day so that it was needless to make an agreement in ad- vance. inding that there was no dis- position to reach an agreement Mr. ‘Allison finally gave notice that here- after, while the report was pending, the senate would not adjourn at 5 o'clock without a nay and yea vote. The debate on the report was parti pated in by Senators Chilton of Tex- as, Jones of Ark s and Pettigrew of South Dakota in opposition, while Mr. Aldrich took frequent occasion to defend the report against the criticism of these senato rhe credentials of the new senator nessee, Thomas B. Turley, eeds the late Senator Harris, ted to the senate by his Bate. Mr. Turley was corted to the vice president’s rere the oath of office was duly sred. On the desk to which gned on the Democratic a superb boquet of carna- who suc were pr 2 illman offered a resolution dis- charging the committee on contingent experses from further consideration of the lution for an investigation of leged senatorial sugar speculition. 3efore anything could be said Mr. Jones of Nevada presented a report from the committee on the same reso- luticn. Mr. Tillman was quickly on feet, asking that the report be d. He did not want it sidetracked any parliamentary device, and. he ved to secure a direct vote on the resclution. Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire, a member of the commit- tee, suggested that the resolution would go to the calendar and be reached in its proper order. Mr. Till- mar insisted on having it read. Mr. Gallinger objected, the presiding of- ficer holding that a single objection was sufficient to prevent the reading. ‘Then Mr. Tillman moved that the re- port be read. Ona viva voce vote the motion was Jost and the resolution went to the calendar. Mr. Allison asked that the tariff con- ference report be taken up, but was met with several measures which sen- 5 son would not yield Allen finally made an issue ng to take up the bill for a partisan commission to inquire into questions affecting agriculture and labor. The motion was lost, and without further delay the considera- tion of the tariff report proceeded. Washington, July 24.—The final vote on the tariff conference will be taken in the senate at 3 p. m. to-day. An unaninous agreement to that | effect w reached in the senate late yester- afternoon after an exciting and dramatic debate. The proposition for the final vote came most unexpected- ly from Democratie sources, the senior senator from Alabama, Mr. Morgan, presenting it. It was greeted with shouts of “good, good” from senators on the Republican side, who, for the first time, saw their path clear for the final enactment of the tariff bill. Mr. Morgan's proposition was coupled with one that the senate meet at 10 a, m. t y in order that speeches may be heard before the vote is taken. This was accepted as a whole, and the agreement was formally an- nounced. Mr. Morgan expressed pro- found reluctance in submitting the propesition, but said he recognized the right of the majority to register their will. The agreement was preceded by the most heated personal colloquy that has occurred during the consideration of the tariff bill. Senators Foraker and Allen joined ne over Mr. Allen’s charges of fraud in the Ohio elections of last year, It led to such epithets as “balderdash” and to pointed refer- -ences to the metheds of court “petti- foggers.” ‘The early part was given to speeches aga! py Senators Teller, White ang Pettus. Washington, July 26.—The extra ses- sion of congress wound up its affairs and adjourned Saturday. The tariff Dill is signed by the president and is now a law; the president sesnt to con- gress a special message urging legisla- tion authorizing the appointment of a currency commission, in responses to which the house passed the stone bill, which was sent to the sesnate and there referred, together with the pres- ident’s message, to the finance com- mittee; Speaker Reed appointed the house committees, and at 9 p. m. con- gress adjourned sine die. The conference report on the tariff pill was adopted by the senate a few minutes after 3 o'clock: The bill was signed at once by the vice president and the speaker of the house, and was then dispatched to the White House. At 4:04 President McKinley attached his signature to the bill and it at once became a law. ‘The signing of the bill was an inter- esting event. It had been arranged that the president should go to the capitol to perform that function, but owing to uncertainty as to the time that the bill would be ready the plan was abandoned. The members of the cabinet who are in Washington were to attend the president to the capitol to witness the even, but were notified of the change in the programme and came to the White House at 3:30 and assembled with the president in the cabinet room. Mr. Porter, the presi- dent’s secretary, was sin constant com- munication with the capitol by tele- phone, so that he was able to advise the president promptly of the starting of the bill from the house for the White House. A few moments before 4 o’clock Rep- resentative Dingley appeared, accom- panied by Representative Hager, chairman of the house committee on enrolled bills. Mr. Hager, by virtue of his office, held the tariff bill closely in hand, but not for a moment did Mr. Dingley lese sight of the famous docu- ment which has made his name known in all parts of the world. They were admitted at once into the presence of Mr. McKinley. The latter was sitting uletlyquietly at the long cabinet table with Secretary Gage and Attorney General McKenna on one side an Postmaster General Gary and Secre- tary Wilson on the other. He rose and greeted Mr. Dingley and Mr. Hager cordially and proceeded at once to the work of approval. Mr. Porter turned to the last sheet of the bill and laid the document before the president. He had several. pens at hand, the owners of which begged might be used to sign the tariff act. But Mr. Dingley unexpectedly taking a case from his pocket produced a beautiful mother of pearl handled pen, dainty enough for a lady’s use, and requested that it be used for the signature. ‘The president recognized the right of Mr. Dingley, though he laughingly commented on the diminutive size of the pen. Dipping it deep into the ink well he steadily appended his signature to the Dill, asked the date, and wrote “July 24th, approved,” and the bill was an act. There was a burst of applause from the spectators. Every one in the room except the president was standing, and several of the spectators were nervous. As the president dropped the pen Attorney General McKenna, glancing at the clock on the mautel, remarked: “It is just four minutes past 4 o'clock.” Then a thought sud- denly occurring to him, he adde “Goy. Dingley, we stood together in this way the signature of the Mc- Kinley tariff act.” “That was at the capitol, however,” replied Mr. Dingley. The presjdent arose and con, lated Mr. Dingley Sn thé succe ending of his long task and the mem- bers of the cabinet did likewise. Mr. Dingley himself acknowledged the kind words, and after putting his pen- holder carefully away left the room, and the ceremony was at an end. ratu- ul THE MARKETS.
