That oto- vistt-d all the delays incident to the formalities of a regular opening of new day. The tariff bill was taken up at once and action on the amendments of the committee of the whole occu pied the whole of today’s session. First came tihe motion made by Mr. (Mhls Monday evening to place burlaps mid graiu bags made therefrom on the free list. It was carried by a vote of 28 to 17. Next cam? the famous "collars and cuffs’’ amendment, fixing the duty tho-se articles at 30 cents per dozen end 30 per cent, od valorem, and on shirts at 50 per cent., equivalent, ac cording to a statement made toy Mr. Chandler, to an ad 1 valorem rate o<f from 80 to 125 per cent. That amend ment was agreed to after a couple of satirical speeches directed against the Junior senator from New York (Mur phy,) by a vote of 43 to 5. Then the great wool schedule came up for action, Mr. Sherman offering an amendment to place wool on the duti able list at 30 per cent ad valorem. The longest discussion of the day took place on this proposition—appeals be ing 'made by Republican senators to Democratic senators from Utoe wool pro ducing states to supply even two votes for the amendment, which would be enough with the Populist votes to car ry it. [Rut these appeals fell on deaf ears. There was not a, single dissent ing voic-e from the Democratic side the question of wool. The two Populist senators who Usually act with Democrats—Allen and Kyle—did not vote, and the amendment was defeat ed—yea* 32, nays 37; and so wool re mains on the Lee list. / 'lae following is the vote In detail on Mr. Sherman's motion: Yeas—Aldrich.

The officials.of tlTo union are determined not to recognize any propositions that will not include the dissolution of the general tnana- g£r*s association, but in view of the fact that evidence can be procured that a number of companies will practically withdraw from the assOclatlonin case a settlement is affected, It Is thought that amical arrangements can be made On. the part of (the«general managers. It said, that A meeting Is wished for, but it is thought that, owing to tne antagonism of a number of members of 'the association, no good results can bfe reached at this time. The mana gers are not near so certain as the un ion men/ of a settlement at present, although they express a willingness to. meet the committee. Another victory was- credited to (the union' by the officlald tonight, when a committee* from \be Big Four officials In this city called at the headquarters* to glve no'tice that the company would entertain any proposition for k settle ment.

TO THE ASSEMBLY His Inaugural Message Read in the Senate and Chamber of Dep- - uties Yesterday, NO F FOR PARTY BUT FOR FRANCE Doolare* Ills Purpose to Verve Franc* Worthily—Violent Socialist Dent* ousirutlou and Demand For a Reply to Hie Message* Paris, July S.—(The Inaugural mes* sage of the new president, Casimlr- Perler, was read in the Benate and, chamber of deputies today. The doc ument was read in the senate toy M. Guerin and In the chamber by Promiei Dupuy. The president says ; . "Having toe^n called by -tho naltlonol assembly to the position of firtfUtnagls- trato to file coutry, 1 aim not the man of any party, tout belong to France*. An odlo-us crime, which the national conscience stigmatizes, has deprived the fatiherland of an upright citizen, whej, during tho past seven years, wa» the valiant guardian of our Institu tions. May tho remeberance of thii hero duly lnsplro and load mo, "The weight of responsibility Is toe great for mo to attempt to speak my gratitude, I love my country too ar dently for It to toe a happy day for me to Arid in my mind and # heart fhe strength necessary to serve France worthily. "Tne national assembly assuming the transmission of power wltihln a few hours after tho death of the preskleni appeared 4n iho eyes ot the peoplo of the world like a new consecration oi Republican institutions. Paris, Which the republic and government thank, gave on Sunday an admiral demonstra tion of gratitude and respect. A coun try which,- in tho midrit of such cruel ties, shows itaolf capoiblo of so much moral discipline and so 'much political fealty, will be able to unite tho social force, without wtobch nations periHh, with liberty and government." Tho president declarso his resolution to develop customs necessary to th! ' welfare of the Republic anil to the Do- mocracy, and says: "It is my firm In- tentlon a^ the end of tho period oi seven years, to resign the destinies ol France to other hands, but as long ai tfhey are confided to me, 1 shall bo rc» pectftH 'to the will of tho nation. Im bued with a sense of my responsibility It shall be my duity not to allow olthtv a disregard or. proscriptiori of the rights which the -constitution confers upon pie. * The senate arid chamber bf deputies will respond to the country’s desire, do- voting themselves to tho examination ol ill! measures that can possibly nerve, tc the advantage of France, to tho In crease of her renown. The development of her agricultural rcsourcJs, trade und oommerce nnd further fortification ol her public credit by parliament prove that tho republic is far from being ster ile. Rivalry of indlvtdual ambitions It a permament effort toward material and moral improvement, for the national ex pansion arid feriile thinking. It Is tt serve tho. ideas that the government convokes tho chamber in the belief that public order and social pence will bu assured. Evory sentence of tho message was applauded In both chambers and when the reading of the message was con cluded tho applause was prolonged, oven many of the members of'tho Left and tiie benches Joining. President De- rriah acknowledged the reception of the message nnd directed It to be placed in the archives of tho senate. He also read a number of additional messages cf condolence and nympathy. Vnlllnnt (Socialist) ascended tho trib unal amid a storm of protests and de posited a document. The wildest tu mult ensued and the only part of Vnll- lant’s remarks that the chamber was able to hear wan "after hia message, opinion, remain* uncertain. Nearly every deputy wnn on his feet crying ’’question, question." Premier Dupuy demanded the floor, nnd amid applause nnd tumult declared that the government wa* responsible to tho chamber alone. Tho noise wa* such that the promier could not toe heard nnd lie was forced to stop. Faberot and Oroulsser (Socialists) made speeches replete with Invectives and were repeatedly called to order. Acting President Demnhy appealed to tho chamber for quiet nnd when ^ ihr» was restored announced that the docu ment which had been deprsrited by Vnll lnnt proposed that a committee of thir ty-three be appointed to draft a reply to the mtsrage of the president. Mlllornnd (Socialist) nugg^tcd thn£ Vaillant’s proposal would not have been lade If those who had supported Cnsl- ilr-Perler had not given his Candida* ture tho character of a restoration. If a personal policy were restored then It would bo the duty of the chamber to protest with its wfloje strength. Tho members of the Centro lmidly pretested against Mlllerand’* u-ttcrances. The previous question wan demanded nnd carried by a vote of 450 to 77, and nn adjournment was taken until Thursday,' when a president bf the chamber will bo elected. > Tho government has of fered Mme. Carnot, widow cf the mur dered president, a pension, bpt the ‘of fer has been declined with thanks.
