THE OMAHA DAI e T e vt & L T T T T e LY BEE. EIGHTEENTH YEAR. HAS A FIGHT 0N HIS HANDS. Formidable Opposition to Mills Among Lone Star Democrats. WRAITH OF THE WOOL CLAUSE. It is Likely Texas Statesman to His Political Ruin senator Allison and Tariff Legislation, to Pursue the Defeat in Sight. 10y BUREAC TR Ovama Ber, ) 51 FOURTEENTI STREET, Wasiixatox. D, C., duly 2. | ome of Mr. Mill's friends on the commit tee of ways and means say that he acknowl edges that & very formiaable opposition is avising in his own district because of the purt he tukes in the free wool business. His statement in the closing argument yesterday that money is ing seat to s district by WasniN abidly absurd that it did not attract any serious attent though there were many who expressed surprise that he should adopt the same line of argument as that adopted by Mr. Morrison after his hori zontal measure had received afte he had been fcally turned down by his consti tuents ©A glance at the congressional dircetory for the last four years shows tt the majorities by which Mr. Mills has returned have diminished within that time He was clocted to the Forty ninth e ress by a majority of 13,300, When the returns were connted after the election of 1856 it was discovered that this had been reduced to 5,00 Mr. Mills evidently realizes that there may be u tidal wave even in Texas, and his speech yesterday was doubtless designed to prepare his friends for the news of his de feat i November. It will be convenient to charge this defeat upto the protectionists though Mr. Mills does not aceuse th publicans of the north with the responsibility for the loss of mearly cight thousand votes in two_years. Nor can h that the ioss can be accounted for by the the last election wis held in an ol for while his vote was 5,000 less preceding camnpaizn, the otal vo trict was only n, its quictus and 50 emphat < of the dis 000 fess than in 1334, and the vote of his republican upponcut was 2,000 more thun in the presidential year. This would indicate the waning popularity of th. chairman of the ways and means committ and at the same time it accounts for the porings of Mr, Milis about republicans send g money to Texas to defeal him, TIE REPUNLICANS EXPLAIN. Since the vote on the tariff Lill yesterday there are various explanations given by the meml of the republican caucus committee of the failure of the minority t offer the pro posed substitute. The meeting in Major Mc Kinley's room o Friday night lasted until midnight, and when it finully broke up it was fully detérmined to move to recommit the bill, with instructions 1o report a substitute which should abolish the iuternal taxes upon aleohol used in the arts, on smoking and ehewine tobueco, and the special stamp tax ou dealers: also n reduction of 50 per cent on the sugar duty. From the best information ob. tainable, this motion was not made because at the st moment some of the leading re- publican senutors advised against this course on account of the condition of the preliminary movement in- the senate towards the perfec- tion of @ bili which is to be the republican measure, THE SENATE AND THE TARIFP, A vepublican member of the house, who had a long talk with Senator Allison, ¢ha man of the sub-committec of the finance com- mittee havin rge of the tariff bill, suys that he does not think that Mr. Allison his any idea_ thut the scnate will do anything with tne Mills bill at this session. The rea son for this belief is given in the following aecount of i conversation between the two gentlemen. Senator Allison was asked : “How are you getting along with preparation of the senate substitute!” 1t will be several weeks,” he replied, “hefore we shall be ready to report to the full committee.” Wil it thew be reported at once to the senate?” #Oh, no. That will be but the beginning of the preliminary discussion. No two mem- bers of the full committee entertain exactly the same views on the subject.” “How long will it take the full committee to prepare a billf" “That is a very answer (" “Willit be ready by the Istof Septem- ber ! “Hardly." “Will the senate get 1t by the middle of Septembe 41 don't think so." “fow loug will the discussion last when it eomes up in the senate !’ T uess that every senator will want to be heard in the discussion.” “Thon there is not much prospect of an djournment by the middle of Septembert” Would you think so!" was the Yankee renly Do you think that the senate will try to E«« a bill before adjournment " the dificult question to “Somc of the senators want to try to do MINNOI MATTERS, Ex-Treasurer A, U.

Ships of superior force must, however, during the whole of this e riod be, in the opinion of the umpirve, sufi- ciently well in hand to afford one another mutual support. 1f two ironclads can sue ceed in getting within a distance of not more than 3,000 yards from a single ironclad and maintain such position for two hours, then the single ironelad is to be considered to be putout of the action. The same rule is to obtain in the case of a single ironclad en gaging a single protected vessel; also in that of a single ironclad engaging an unpro tected vessel, but in these cases the time is to be reduced to one hour. If two protected vessels attack one protected vessel, or two unprotected vessels attack one unprotected vessel under the foregoing conditions, the single vessel will be put out of the ac tion. If an armor-clad or protected vessel can approach an enemy’s vessel at nehor in an unfortified part within a .dis- ance of 2,000 yards, day or night, the vessel 80 caught at anchoris to be considered to have been rammed and put out of action. | K In actions between ships, zuns areonly to be fired when within the effective range at which the fire is to be commenced, v four thousand yards, Touching the most interesting operations with torpedo boats, the following rules must be obscrved by the belligerents: Torpedo boats will each be provided with two tor- pedocs, fitted with safety heads, which are to be fired when the boat has attained a po- sition within 500 yards of the encmy’s ship but not at a greater distance. If it is certain that the ship so attacked has been hit in the hull before the boat 18 put out of action, then the ship is considered out of action. Each torpedo boat is to be al- lowed to fire one torpedo at a time, and, hav ing fired this one, 18 to be considered out of action until she has either picked it up or has been supplied with aunother from he depot vessel.

Torpedo boats are to be cousidered as acting together when they are under fire at the same time. If, after one boat is scen, and before she has been for three minutes under fire, more boats are seen and fired upon, the time that the first boat is under fire is prolonged on the ground that attention was diverted from her.
