THE OUTLOOK FOR ADJOURMENT A Prophecy That it Will Come Within a Fortnight—The Irrigation F lem glish Sentiment Ree garding Cleveland. ob- Not to Be Bullied. WasiiNaroy B v TitE OMATA Bee, } 5L FOURTERNTI STREET, WasiiNerox, D. C., Sept. 14, A debate oceurred in the senate this after- noon between Senator Vest on the one side and Senators Allison and Sherman on the , which revealed the 't that the demo- anxious to have the republi- cans report their tariff bill immediately. Inreply to the assertion by Senator Vest that the republicans did not intend to report a tariff bill bef, the November election, Mr. Sherman stated that the republicans proposed to not only report a bill, but pass it. They do not propose, however, he said, to be bullied or blustered into laying their meas ure before the senate until they have given a full hearing to the industries which the bill will most dircetly affect, and until such a bill is completed as will best foster Americ an in dustries and Ame 1 labors and as will pass the scnate. He gave notice that if the democrats proposed to either force the republicans to report their bill be- fore they arc ready, or wait until the senate takes the initiative in the matter of adjourn- ment the democrats will be sorely disap- pointed. Senator Allison, who is at the head of the sub-committee preparing the tariff bill, scored the Mills bill and the party benind it. He agreed with Senator Sherman that the bill was an piece of legislation, and would ruin our manufacturing and industrial interests. He said the republicans proposed keeping right along in their work of prepar- ing a bill till they have one which will be perfection in comparison with the Mills bill, and that they do not proposc to submit to an adjournment of congress till they ure ready to report the bill they have now nearly com- pleted. He reminded the democrats that the condition of the finances did not demand reckless tariff legislation, such as the Mills bill proposes. In an interview to-night Senator Hiscock, who 18 a member of thé committee on finance waid that the debate to-day only g dence of the fact that the' republic determined to make a good bill, and keep at work upon it till it meets the approval of the largest: number of people interested and until it meets the unanimous approval of the republican_scnators. He said that this might require two more weeks of work; and it may require four more months. He added the republicans were very anxious to ake a strong and judicious bill and that, as or Allisons stated to- it would' be laid before the public the day it was com- ple Its is believed that the democrats aucus next Tucsday night will agree to an adjournment, that the senate will approve it and that congr will not be in session wore than from two to three weeks, IREIGATION IN COLORAD) AND NEBRASKA, Major Powell, director of the geolog survey, was at the capital to-day and said to Tur Bie correspondent in reference to the new irrigation project, that he had not yet made out his plans, but that work will begin in Colorado at the headwaters of the Platte and Arkansas riv and that work will progress down the course of these streams, hore vill also he parties sent to other sec- tions of the country about the same time, but he has not yet perfected his plans sufticiently to give the details. The conference com- mittee in congress has agreed to appropriate $100,000 to begin this work ENGLISILINTEREST [N CLEVELAND'S ELECTION. A gentleman who has just arrived here from a tour through Burope gives his obser- vations as to the English mterest in the success of President Cleveland as follows: “1 have no doubt that there will be a willion dollars sent out of London alone to be used in the democratic campaign. The Euglish are ext anxious for the suc. ¢ of President Cleveland, They say that his re-election means not only the success of the Mills tariff bill but other sweeping re- ductions of the tariff duties. 1 went into Lombard street a few days before I left to have some clothes made. The tailor was a Dbright young native and ran a large estab- lishment. While 1 was ordering some suits for §16, which cost £0 in Washington, I made the observation to the tailor that he must feel considerably interested in the impending campaign in the United States, to which he replied that he was indeed anxious for the ection of Cleveland: that Englishmen considercd the su of Cleveland s one of Great Britain's most important com- mercial affairs. He told me that he had no doubt that if Cleveland was re-clected that there would be pract free trade be- tween the two countries within four years. He said that it would be of immense benefit 10 his business, and that he was will thing he could to secure the the democratic ticket. After I secured the clothes 1 wanted the tailor suggested that 1 should let him take my measure for perma- ngas he did so, that he to deliver my suits of cloth ng in the United States at 40 or ¢ prices than can be obtained. 1e added that he would make the ices to me for export lower than if the goods were to be delivered in London, and that he would securo an undervaluation through an American cousul, which, together with the reduced price on’ account of export, would fully pay the express and custom charges, Of course 1 left my order “Itis o stange thing to me," ntinued this gentloman, ‘how a tariff for the pro teetion of home industrics if not efiicacious, us the democrats say it is not, can work such changes in the prices paid for labor in rope. While in Berlin 1 ordered some lothing of a tailor on Leipsiger strasse. 1 paid eighty-eight marks (§22) for a suit of black cheviot. His price was ninety marks, and while [was “Jewing’ the tailor down, 1 suggested to him that he charged much more for a suit than was paid in London, which was but a few hundred miles away aeross the channel, The Berliner replied that it was true I could get the same suit in London for sixteen marks less, but the London tailor wade the greatest profit. He ex- plained that in Berlin tailors were paid ) per cent more wuges than the tailors in London receive. He said that was due to the fact that the industries in Ger- many were protected by a heavy duty on im- ported goods, while everything imported was vec in England. 1ordered a pair of panta- loons in London for which I pu{\l 17 shil'ings, or $4.25. The goods were excellent, and the work was as good as the average in the United States. ~ When I paid for the panta- loons I inquired of the tailor how much he aid the person who made up the goods and \e replied ‘two ten,’ which meant 2 shillings 30 pence. This in American money is 70 cents, Yesterday I was in a fashionable tailoring establishment in thiscity and while ordering another suit of clothes the tailor looked At the pantaloons I am wearing and asked me where I got them, Before reply- ing I usked him if he did not sell the same 7oods and he said that he did. Then I asked bim how much he charged for them. He said that his regular price was $16.50. 1 then told him that I gave just §.35 for them in London, Instantly the Washingtos tailor said that he paid $5.75 to his men to make up pantaloons of the most ordinary kind. This was §1.50 more than the London goods cost made up.” MISCELLANEOUS. It was stated at the war department to-day that the bids for the new Fort Robinson wiil be opened on Monday next.

CuicaGo, Sept. 14.—Judge Gary to-day ren- dered a decision in the case of George W.

The facts of the case are as follow Dumond’s commission men at the stock yards deposited with the Union Stock Yards bank $1,200 belonging to Dumond, with direc tions to have it placed in the Merchants’ Na- tional bank, through the credit of the Ex- change bank of Karleville, for the use of Dumond. The Union Stock Yards bank failed to state that it was for the use of Dumond, and_the Merchants’ bank, suppos- ing that it belonged to the Earleville bank, applied the money on an indebtedness of the Karleville bank to it. Judge Gary held that the Union Stock Yards bank, and not the Merchants' bank, was liable for the money for failure to place it to the credit of the Earleville bank for the use of Dumond, under instructions.
