A CLOSE GALL FOR THE TARIFF BILL H |||'5 Tariff Conferees Resolution Was Brought to a Vote in the Senate Yesterday AN0 RESULTED IN A TIE VOTE Jh , Vice-President (•tiled the M»ttir Volins T«», THU* »•»«■>* T.rl* U(liutt« From *n lotted- • ntt« Postponement* Washington. August 11.—Today's pro ceedings in the senate were of a moat Interesting and exciting character, in volving as they did, the success or de feat oi sll the tariff work Of the ses- tion; and It was only by the casting rate of the vice president that the Dem ocratic party eras saved from a had repulse, if not a complete overthrow. > The day began with a' debate upon the resolution offered on Friday by Mr. Hill, Instructing the senate conferees on tariff bill to report whether the con ferees of the two houses were likely to igre: and If not to report a disagree^ pent. Mr. Hill modified hls resolution by inserting an additional clause, re quiring the hill to be handed to the sec retary of the senate for such motion a s the senate might desire to take upon It The significance of this clause was, mat if the bill were so delivered to the senate the house could not have the chance (which had been rumored one of the possibilities of the occasion) to agree to all the senate amendments end thus have the bill sent to the pres ident without any further action on the part of the senate. The debate for j nearly two hours was directed To that phase of the aueatlon. At last action was precipitated by a j motion made by Mr. Cockrell to pro ceed to the consideration of executive business. That motion was Justly re garded by Mri • Hill as hostile to hls 1 proposition, and he promptly demanded ihe yeas, and nays, Tliese were taken and were watched with the most In- I tense Interest and excitement by aena- I run of sll parties and by an Immense I crowd of spectators In the galleries. I The result was announced by the vice | president os yeas 35: nays, 33, and die 1 promtly gave hls vote In the affirma- Itive, thus defeating the Hill resolution [for the time. It has now gone to the I colander, whence It can billy be taken I by a majority vote, although a similar [ resolution may be offered at any.time. 1 Besides the seventy senators voting [there -were fourteen paired, the ohly I senators left unaccounted lor being Mr. I Stewart (Populist) of Nevada, who was Ipiesent, but maintained u position of I strict neutrality. The three other Pop- | ulist senators, Messrs. Allen, Kyle and |Peffer. with the two Democratic sen- I stars. Messrs. HU1 and Murphy, voted [with the Republicans. All the other (Democratic senators remained true to • their party fealty. 1 The most Intense Interest and excite ■ ment prevailed on the floor and In the I galleries as the vbte progressed. When la pair was announced between Messrs. Ifrhy and Wilson (Republican) of Iowa, I Mr. Hill appeared to doubt the defec- I lion of hls supposed ally and demanded I the authority for pairing with a Itepub- I Ilcan. The authority was soon forth- | coming. Mr. Jones (Democrat) or Ar- [khnsaa produced and read two telc- | grams which he had received from I Sir. Irby, one saying: "Please arrange | a pair for me In favor of the bill,” and I the other saying: "pair me In favor of ■ the free sugar proposition If that comes | up la the senate." The roll was finally completed and [bf the vice preseldent In these words: I On agreeing to the motion to proceed | ?° the consideration of the executive l business the yeas are 35 and the nays 11 1 ? *• The senate Is equally divided. I v * ce President votes aye." | The announcement relieves the ex- I treme tension which had slezed upon I the senators and spectators.

He, therefore, pro- P°s*o to ask that hls resolution might so over, retaining Its position. He ex- that a great calamity to the state of Alabama would be averted. r. Pugh said that there had been ofllolal repor* of the resolution of last Monday’s election in any lounty In Alabama. The returns Involving members of the legislature would be sent to the legislature next Novem ber. and that the legislature would have the exclusive power to deal with the rights of the members .to their seats. There was no authority In statute law for tile proposed Investigation And if titere shuld be air Investigation, he was sure that 'nothing whatever wouM be discovered to authorize, Justify or support It. Mr. Gray objected to Mr. Chandler’s request, that his resolution should lie over and retain its place. Such an In vestigation as It proposed would be a long step In the direction of centraliza tion. ■Mr. Chandler thereupon withdrew the resolution a-nd Immediately afterward decltred It anew, and then under the rubs It went over until Monday, thug getting the ‘better of Mr. Gray’s ob jection. The request of the house for a con ference on 'the bill to prevent Inter ference with the collection of state, county and municipal taxes was agreed to. and Mssrs. Pugh, Coke and Hoar Were appointed conTerees on the part of the senate. , Mr. Butler, who has been election eering In hls own state for several weeks past, was again In his seat today and was cordially welcomed by ms associates.

Washington, Aug. 11.—The session of tho house today was_conflncd to the consideration of two Items" In the sun dry civil appropriation bill, upon which the conferees had found themselves unable to agree. The first related to the rrgatlon and reclamation of arid lands, and as to this the house voted to recede from Its disagreement to tho senate amndmnt, wit?, an amendment of its own. This amendment proposed to give to eaoh of the states containing these arid lands 1.000,000 acres upon certain conditions, the chief one being that 33 per acne should be expended by the state In Irrigating the lands. The amendment directing the eecre- tary of 'the treasury to purchase the Mabone lot for a site for the'govern ment printing office, at a coat not^ex ceeding 1250,000, was tho last remaining Item of disagreement to be aoied upua- Motions were made by Mr. Breiz (Democrat) of Indiana that the house recede from Its agreement to therben- ace amendment, with un amendment to locate the printing offlete on What is known as the ’Tab commlssloa rrere- vall Ion," and Mr. 'Bankhead at Ala bama to purchase the MJ adjoln ng tbo present site and extend thte building ° V "Tne discussion attogether relited to the question of the eligibility bt sites, it being conceded on all sides that iu. new building was a crying necessity. The proposition to purchase the Mn- hone lot (the senate amendment) was defeated, 127 to 53. The proposition to erect the printing office on the fish commission reservation was nlso de feated. The proposition to purchase tho present site and extend the building (hereon was agreed to, 158 txMl, The house agreed to a conference on the Items still In controversy. The old conferees were reappointed and the house, at 4:40 o’clock, adjourned Until immediately after t* e ^use ad journed a call for a caucus qf the Dem ocratic members for 10 o clock Monday morning was read.

Washington, August U‘— Th O J^ c . 1 J' ion of the senate to go Into executive session today. - pending the conaidera- tlonof the Hill resolution, and theearly subsequent adjournment was due to the gensdsl belief of the Demcmrottc side of the senate thnt the house Dsiuocratifl caucus, called for Monday, would result In ths acceptance by the house of tho senate bill entire and without change of any kind. This belie was strength ened by Speaker Crisp Just prior to the making of the motion for an executive session. He was closated In the room of the ■erate committee on appropria tions with a few Democratic leaders of the senate, and It was Immediately af ter this conference that Senator Cock rell entered hls executive session mo tion. When tho senate adjourned the Democratic senatbra were, as a rule. In far bettor spirits than they have been for weeks, and the conseratlve senators and the Democratic members of the finance committee were In espe cially amiable frame of mind. Tho transformation was due to the fact that they felt they had passed a seri ous crisis and this feeling was .evi dently based upon the assurance re ceived (rom the 'house that tho senate bill would be accepted 'by that body without change. They did not consider that all the dangers were passed, but they stated freely that the best assure a nee- which it was possible to secure of a future event, depending upon so many men as there are in the Demo cratic aide of the house, had been re ceived, «r.d they were very hopeful thntdhe hill would receive endorsement of the house early next week. This be ing the case they concluded that furth er debate would be useless and might complicate the matter, and that, there fore, the wisent course was to put a atop to It Immediately after adjourn ment the Democratic steering commit tee went Into session In Senator Cock rell’s room. The president and hls ad visors. sIbo. have been in frequent con sultation over the situation. The pres ident and Becretnrys Carliale and Gresh am held a conference, and the secre- tarlea alsb consulted with Interstate Comnqerce Commissioner William R. Morrison and Senator Mills on the beat policy to be pursued. VIEWING THE DEAD BODIES. BACON CARRIES aTOOSA COUNTY It Was a Hot Fight, but the Mountain eers Were True to the Big Man From Bibb.

It,—Cholera Is slowly but steadily spreading westward. The d.s ease has obtained a foothold in nine teen Russian provinces, .where deaths by hundreds uro recorded daily. Chol era exists In seventeen districts of Ga licia, and scores of deaths take' place every day m that section. In east Prussia, especially In Dantzlc, the sit uation growB worse hi spite of tho clos ing of the frontier ut Golluba on the river Drewcnz, opposite Dobrczyu, Po land. According to oltic-lnl reports cholera bacollll lmve been found fioatihg In tho rl'for Vistula and u number of fatal cases are also privately reported from Hohn and Golluba. The rest of Ger many appears to be free from cholera, although a few sporadlo cases have oc curred here aud there.

It Is estlnmtod thnt nearly HU.OUO Russian troops are In eastern Siberia and have with them sixty-four heavy guns. This, In con nection with the tact that Russia has sent eight tvnr ships under sqaled or ders to Corea and tlult the commander In chief of eastern Siberia lius been In structed to hold (he troops of that dis trict to readiness to march at auy mo ment, Is regarded as significant The coming socialist cougrcss at Frankfort promises to be stormy. It Is suld that Vohnnr aud Grllleuberger buva announced that they are deter mined to reject .ill interference with the Berlin commerce and with tho finance of the Bavarian Boclnl party. In "addition, there is the theoretical question of tho beer boycott, which will undoubtedly receive a thorough ventilation at the approaching congress. ,Tho Von Kotzo scandal was revived this week In the courts. Schmidt and Keener, who obtained so much money from Kotze under the proteose that they were able to divulge tlic name of the writer of the anonymous letters and the postal cards which caused so much dlsturbanpo'ln nristoertnic circles, and which eventually led to the arrest of Von Kotze, were sentenced to long terms of Imprisonment. It Is staled on good authority that the courts are In possession of facts which would seem to indicate that a prince of the royal Imperial family was tho author of the scurrilous letters.

Weed and Bartlett, who are reported to have come to England to seek financial aid for the Klcuiuguun Cunal Company, said In an Interview this evening: “While tho shareholders of tho Nlcu- rnguuq Cuunl Company arc patriotic and willing to let the United States on ’any fair bas.s carry out the enterprise, they do not propose to be Idle or to let Uie project collapse. If tho United States will no curry out the enterprise, therefore we shall not refuse any fair proposition from any other source. We shall only stipulate that until a largo amount be paid the first claim In the enterprise shall be reserved for tho United States. If congress delays ac tion until European capital shall have been Invested, It must not cumplatu, It really makes little difference whence the m-Hiey cmiics, iunsmu It in Ihe ca nal must always he neutral and open to tho world’s commerce."
