TVashhijCtcR, July 25.—There was a very noticeable absence of Hurry and excitement In and about the senate chamber this morning an compared With the acqnea trf the last three days, and there was a corresponding falling off in the number of spectators in the gal leries. This was due. doubtless, to the general understanding that the day's proceedings were likely to be of a very exciting character, that the programme ci the Dembcratlo caucus would bo car ried out without anv hitch, and thaUthe reouest of the house for further confer ence on the tariff bill would be complied with unconditionally. In the mbrning hour the conference report on the fortification appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. The conference report on the navy apivo- prittlon bill was presented and went over until tomorrow. The resolution offered yesterday by .vtr. Allen$ calling for copies of correspondence, telegraphic or otherwise, of the department of Jus tice and railroad ofllciuls and United States attorney’s oflice during the re cent industrial troubles in Chicago, was taken up and agreed to without objec tion. At 2 p. m. tho message from the house asking further conference on the tariff bill was laid before the senate and Mr. Quay withdrew the motion ma'de by him yesterday to amend the pending motions of Messrs. Vilas and Gray to put sugar on the free list. At this time very few senators were in their seats. Mr. Gray raised the point of no quorum and the roll was called. Slxty-one sena tor* responded. * Then Mr. Vilas took the lloor and addressed the senate In a two hours’ speech, delivered offhand and with much oratorical effect. His BpeecU was highly eulogistic of President Cleveland, whom he defended from the charge** of duplicity and improper inter ference with legislation, made by Mr. Gorman in hl« speech on Monday. Ho spoke of Mr. Cleveland as the "great first citizen of the Republic" and as tho representative of the national liu tor. and he dectared. with solemnity and ve hemence. that to assail Grewer Cleve land was to strike at the republic; that to insult him was to affront every good citizen, and to stab him was to «tab the heart of every true American. On concluding he withdrew his motion of Friday, to strike ou the additional dis criminating duty of 1-8 of a cent a pound on sugar, and favored Mr. Gray’s mo tion to Insist uDon the senate amend ments and tto consent to further confer- I ence. He did this, he said, because he was a strict party man and desired to be | In accord with his Democratic brethren, and he expressed the hope that out of the conference would come a measure far better than that which had already passed the senate. All the confe.ees, ! lie said, knew the sentiment of the sen ate on the Augar question, and he was sure that sentiment would have Its true and proper weight. Mr.VHas was followed by Mr. Stewart of Nevada, who criticised the presi dent's letter as an Invasion of the legis lative ptower. such as had cost Charles i 1. head. At the close bf the debate the vote I was taken on Mr. Hill’s motion to recede ; from the duty of 40 cents a ton on Iron i ore and on cbal. At the suggestion of ' Allison the vote was divided so that ! the v °te should first be taken on iron ore. The vote was as follows: Teas—Alien, Hairsbrough, Hill. Irby, Kyle. Peffer—«, Nays—Aldrich. Allison,, Bite, Berry, Blackburn. Blanchard, Brice, Caffrey, Call, Cnrr, Chandler. Cockrell, Coke, Culrbm. Daniel. Davis. Dixon, Dolpli i Faulkner.

Tae motion in regard to c>al was lost 2 . The * ame vote. Then Mr. CafTery withdrew his mbtlon in favor of m *dl- J*2 , “5 #r bounty for 1894.

The passage of the bill was strongly urged by Superintendent Kim ball, who called attention no the recent frequent occurrence of storms in the nttnrths of August and May, with de sk motive effects to life and property a-’.ong the aea coast. With on amend ment offered by Mr. Sayers, which made the salary of ia surf mitt at a station kept open ten month.* $60 a month, ‘Instead of $65, paid at t ic eight months stations, the bill was passed.

SAILING ON THE SLY. The Cruiser Bennington Coming Homo With Salvadorian Refugees Aboard. Washington, July 26.—The sailing of the United States cruiser Bennington fro La Li-bepoad, Salvador, yesterday for San Frundsco, was u carefully guarded secret In i’he »ta>te and navy departments, extraordinary peraiu- tions having ’been taken 'to keep tho nows from the public. Secretary Her bert this morning, when questioned, slid tt «was true that he had been com pel lofl <to order the vessel home, but he had not notified the consul at Salva dor that the status of 'the four refugees on board the vessel was In no way altered, a3 the United States had not yCt determined whether they should bo surrendered or not. It wus understood that the question was considered rut the cabinet meeting on Tueaduy, kjvhen Secretary Herbert explained that ill ness 'had occurred on the Bennington, that her surgeon hud-been prostrated with malarial fever and had been una ble to attend others who were sick, and as the repairs to the Charleston would not enable that vessel to relieve Che Bennington until the eeoond week In August it seemed necessary to bring the ship away from the tropical count at once. Tlhe Bennington had been at Lo Llbertad shite May 21, and during her two months stay there had not been freo from illneus a single day. In all that time the Salvadorians seemed unable to form a stable gov ernment which could be recognized by the UriPted Stales. The Bennington has run hhort of coal and stores, which were, however, on the way to her, hut could not be Intercepted nt Acapulco'. The cabinet decided that she H.iould be brought home at once and that Gen. Ezcttt* and the other three refugees ooutd be‘trans ferred to the Charleston r.r San Fran cisco and immediately seu<t bnck to La Llbertad 'to be delivered by 'ihe local authorities as soon as proper Judical proceedings against 'them could be as sured. The scheme of Aending the refu gees back, 4t Is thought, will depend entJrely upon the action of any United States judge. « Gen. Ezeta and his compatriots on the arrival of the Ben nington at San Francduoo should apply for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that they were restrained on board the ship against 'their will, no charge being preferred ngoimet them. In the opinion of competent lawyers of the state and navy departments tho United tSales could not resist such an application and any court would re lease the men. The departure of the Bennington for home is, therefore) looked upon as the end of a situation which has been extremely embarasning to the United States for over « month. IMPROVEMENT JN IRON TRADE.
