IT IS Pip it mostT^U tt JtTIES. Tie Hon L Sen ate Bill ii Tato RATHER THAN CONTINOE TO FIGHT FOR ITS OWN. Special Measures Passed Placing Sugar, Iron Ore and Coal On tlio Free List. Monday the house democratic cau cus adopted a 1 delation, by a vote of 130 to 21, discharging the house con ferees from further consideration of the tariff bill and agreeing to the sen ate bill. The resolution also pro vided that sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire should be put on the free list by means of separate bills, which it is purposed to report from the ways and means committee at once. The resolution in its full text was as fol lows : Resolved, That it is the sense o f this caucus that the order heretofore made requesting a conference with the sen ate on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on houso resolution 5,864 be rescinded; that the conferees hereto fore appointed on the part of tho house he discharged from further duty in its behalf and that the house recede from its disagreement to tho senate amendments to said bill and agree to the same. Resolved further, That the house shall at once proceed to the considei ation of separate bills placing the fol lowing articles on the free list, viz., sugar in all its forms, iron ore, coal and barbed wire.” The committee on rules is requested to make an order providing for the prompt consideration of such motion and bills. How the BUI Was Passed. After the reading of the house jour nal Monday, Mr. Sayers offered a joint resolution extending until tho 24th in stnnt, the provisions of tho joint reso lution carrying furward the appropria tions upon the basis of those for the past year. Tho joint resolution was passed. District of Columbia business was undertaken, but discussion oi the first bill called up was interrupted by the introduction of the ex pected order from the committee on rules relating to the consideration of the tariff bill and cognate measures, which was proposed by Mr. Cathings. It provided, first, that it shall be in order after the passage of the order, to move that the action of the house re questing a further conference on tho tariff bill be rescinded ; that the con ferees be discharged from further duty in connection therewith, and that the house agree to the senate amendments in bulk, which motion shall be debated two hours, when the vote on its adoption and the motion shall be indivisible. General leave to print on the subject is given for ten days. Second, that it shall be in order after the introduction of the order to present in the house and consider, without reference to any oommittee, bills for placing sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire upon the free list. Thirty minutes shall be given for the discussion of each bill and then a vote shall he taken. Mr. Catchings moved the previous ques tion, and Mr. Reed raised a point of order against the resolution. The point of order, after a heated discus sion, was overruled by the speaker. The question then being on agreeing to the resolution, Mr. Reed demanded a division. The speaker announced the vote ns 188, three more than a quorum. Mr. Reed demanded the yeas and nays. The house order waH adopted —76 to 97, not voting 11. Upontkean nouncement of the vote Chairman Wil son" immediately submitted in writing the motion provided for in the order adopted. Mr. Reed made the point of order that the bill was not before the house. The bill had been brought in, how ever, during the roll call, and the speaker pointed to it. Mr. Reed re sumed his seat and Mr. Wilson took tho floor. He spoke but ten minutes at the opening of tho debate. 11c then reserved the balance of his time and Mr. Reed, the leader of the on position, took the floor. The gentle man from Maine aroused his followers to the hightest pitch of enthusiasm. Mr. McMillin,a member of the ways and means committee, followed Mr. Reed. Mr. Wilson then yielded a few min utes to Mr. Pence, of Colorado, the leader of tho populists, who said that the populists had thought and thought still, that the contest over tho tariff between the two old parties was a good deal of a mock conflict, and a sham battle. Mr. Cockran, of New York, was given the closest attention by the expectant galleries and was at times enthusiastically applauded from each side of the chamber as his sledge hammer blows were dealt at the McKinley law or the senate bill. Speaker Crisp, in his speech closing the debate upon the tariff bill, said he desired to publicly assume full respon sibility for what the house was about to do and to aver that it was in the best interest of tariff reform. Re ferring to tho matter of trusts, Mi- Crisp said if there were any in this country they had been created by the republican party, and while the bill did not uproot them, as he wished it did, it reduced the rates of duty on articles controlled by them 50 per cent. “Going through this schedule, ’’said Mr. Crisp in conclusion, “whilst it is not all we wish, it is the best we cau now get. The moment we get this sched ule, we intend to move forward ; we do not intend that there shall be a of,' backward step in tariff' reform. (Ap plause.) We believe that the adjourn ment of this congress without the pas sage of some kind (if s tariff bill Would be a bio 1 rinform from which it would buff / for yenrs to come.” (Long*?!' 'H’ujsontinued ap plause.) At the^' ise '' *|>f Mr. Crisp’s speech there .•" ,HUl)r, \it„ noise, con fusion and RrowiA j n the ball. Then Mr. ®H n fpse and cor rected a stateni*' 0 made in his opening speech u” m, *wsect that SIOO,- 000,000 worth sugar had been purchased by the sngnr trust in antici pation of the passage of the sngar schedule of the senate bill. Ho had been mistaken, ho afterward learned. The trust had purchased 448,000 tons, amounting in dollars and couta to about $25,000,000. In conclusion, Mr. Wilson raid this wan not a time for democratic enthusiasm. It was plair democratic necessity. But if tho democratic party was to live—if it did live—it would not lay dowu its weapons nutil it had made it impossi ble in this country to lay burdens on one class of our citizens for the en richment of another. Mr. Wilson then demanded a vote on the resolution. Tho. yeas and nays were ordered and resulted—yeas 182, nays 106, present and not voting, 3. The democrats who Voted against tho motion were Messrs. Cockrnn of New York, Cov ert of New York, Davey of Lou isiana, Dunphy of New York, Everett of Massachusetts, Gorman of Michigan, Hendrix of New York, Johnson, of Ohio, Meyer, of Louisiana, Price, of Louisiana, Tars ney, of Missouri, and Warner, of New York. The populists voted for the motion. During the afternoon there were many senators present, and most of them remained until tho bill passed. Among them were Messrs. Brice, Gray, Chandler, Davis, Coke and l’atton. the free list bill. Mr. Wilson then immediately rose and offered the first of the separate free list bills in nccordauco with the resolution adopted by the caucus. It provided for the free admission upon its passage of bituminous coai, shale, slack and coke. The Vote upon the bill by tellers was 78 to 47. Mr. Reed raised the point of no quorum and Mr. Wilson demanded the yens nnd nays. The bill passed. Yeas, 160; nays, 104 ; answering as present, 1. Twenty one democrats voted against the bill as follows: Messrs. Alderson, of West Virginia, Bankhead, of Alabama, Boat ner, of Louisiana, Burns, of Missouri, Crajn, of Texas, Davey, of Louisiana, Denson, of Alabama, Edmunds, of Virginia, Epps, of Virginia, Kritibs, of Pennsylvania, NcKaig, of Mary land, Oates, of Alabama, Reilly, of Pennsylvania, Robbins, of Alabama, Swanson of Virginia, Tucker of Vir ginia, Tyler of Virginia, Wise of Vir ginia, Weadock of Midusan, Wheeler of Alabama, and Wolverton of Penn sylvania.

The free barbed wire bill pass ed promptly —j-cas 187, nays 84. Free sugar passed—yeas 276 to 11—and the house, at 10:25 o’clock, adjournod until Wednesday next. Those who voted against free sugar were Messrs. Boatner, Davey, Meyer, Ogden, Price and Robertson, democrats, of Louisi ana; Everett and Stevenson, demo crats, of Massachusetts; Harmer and Reyburn, republicans, of Pennsylvania, and Sperry, democrat, of Connecticut, This was the largest aye nnd nay vote ever cast in the houso of representa tives.

A Washington special says: Colonel Livingston’s bill, substituted by Rep resentative Cannon for the senate amendment, passed the house by ac clamation Friday. It appropriates 8200,000 and the administration build ing at Chicago for the Cottou States *nd International exposition, r LAWRENCEVILLE.GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, LSTN^ HALLS OF CONGRESS DAILY PROCEEDINGS OK BOTH HOUSE AND SENATE. What Our National Law-Makers are Doing for the Country. The Hawaiinn question came to the front again in the honse Thursday, forming the subject of the most spir ited and interesting portion of the pro ceedings. Mr. Bontello raised it as a question of privilege. Ho repudiated tho reported imputation that in intro ducing resolutions recognizing the Ha waiian republic he had sought to ob tain a partisan advautage for the re publican party, but that he was de sirous only of maintaining the honor and dignity of the government and of observing the unbroken traditions of tho country and of congress. Ho criti cised the failure of the committee on foreign affairs to act upon his resolu tions nnd denouncod the Hawaiian policy of the administration. The house then proceeded to the consider ation of tho bill to increase the effi ciency of the militia. The sessiou of the house Saturday was confined to the Consideration of two items in the sundry civil appro ritions bill, upon which the conferees had found themselves nimble to agree. The first related to the irrigation anil reclamation of arid lauds, nnd as to this, the bonne voted to recede from its disagreement to the senate amend ment, with an amendment of its own. This amendment proposed to give to each of tho states containing these arid lands a million acres upon certain conditions, the chief one being that $3 per acre should be expended by the states in irrigating the lauds. The amendment directing tho secretary of the treasury to purchase the Mahonelot for a site for the government printing office, at a cost not exceeding $250,000, was the last remaining item of disa greement to be acted upon. The prop osition to purchase the Mahouo lot (the senate amendment) was defeated. Tho proposition to purchase ground adjoining the present site and extend the building thereon was agreed to— -138 to 41. The house agreed to a con ference on the items still in controver sy ; the old conference were reappoint ed; and the house, at 4:40 o’clock, ad journed until Monday. Immediately after tho house wtdjwtirued a call for a caucus of the democratic members for 10 o’clock Monday morning was read. The session of the house Friday was almost wholly takeu up with the con sideration of tho first confi reuoe re port on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The principal subject of discus sion was the appropriation to enable the government to make an exhibit at the Atlanta exposition, which afforded an opportunity fur several “bridge the bloody chasm” speeches that were applauded warmly. Tile vote on the amendment showed that the house, 3 to I,favored making the appropriation, but wanted it to be in the form of the house bill on that subject. Mr. Cannon ■moved that the house conferees be in structed to propose to the senate coufer ees,inlieu of that provision in the bill, the substance of the bill reported to the house June 4 liy the committee on ap propriations appropriating $200,000 in aid of the exposition. The motion was discussed l>y Messrs. Cannon, Murray, republican, of South Carolina; Coombs, democrat, of New York ; Sickles, dem ocrat, of New York; Pence, populist, of Colorado; Cogswell, republican, of Massachusetts, and Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska, all of whom spoke in enthussastic terms of the enterprise of the people of Atlanta in projecting the exposition, and expressing their gratifi catiou at being abl • to vote for the ap propriation. Mr. Williams, democrat of Illinois, and Mr. Dockery, his com mittee colleague, opposed the proposi tion to vote aid to the exposition. Tho question was further discussed favor ably by Messrs. Grosveuor, republican, of Ohio; Everett,democrat of Massachu setts, and Livingston, democrat, of Georgia, ami in opposition by Mr. Snodgrass, democrat, of Tennessee. Mr. Cannon’s motion was then agreed to without division. Several other items of disagreement were discussed until 5 o'clock, when, without dispos ing of tho report, the house took a recess until 8 o’clock. In the houso Monday a joint resolu tion was passed extending until the 24th instant, the provisions ol the joint resolution providing appropria tions for public purposes, on the basis of those for the last year. The sedate tariff bill was then presented and after a lengthy discussion was passed. Till! NKNATI!. In the senate, Thursday, the house bill to repeal in part and limit the section of revised statues under which bounty land warrants are refused to ex-soldiers of the Meican war who af terwards served in tho confederate army, gave rise to a discussion. Mr. Platt moved to postpone it till the first Monday in December. The dis cussion was interrupted by a motion by Mr. Gray to proceed to the con sideration of executive business, nnd at 1 :15 the senate went into executive session and at 1:40 adjourned till Fri day. Saturday’s proceedings in the senate were of a most interesting and exciting character, involving as they did the success or defeat of all t lie tarfff work of the session, nnd it was only by the casting vote of tho vice president that the democratic party was saved from a bail repulse, if not a complete over throw. The day began by a debate of tho lesdutiou offered on Friday by Mr. Hill, imtructing the senate con ferees on the tariff bill to report whether the conferees of the two houses were likely to agree, and if not, to report a disagi lenient. The senate at Monday’s session went into executive session for the purpose of taking action on the Chinese treaty. After a full discussion of the matter the treaty was ratified. As soon as the senate journal was read Tuesday morning the chief clerk of the houße appeared and delivered a message, announcing the passage by tho house of tho bills to place on the free list, sugar, bituminous coal, irou ore ajid barbed wire. Tho message made no allusion to the concurrence of the house in all the senate amend ment? to tho tariff bill. When the vice- Meside«t laid before the seuatq tho freo list bills, Air. Mauderson asked that they bo read at length and objected to the second reading of all of them. Mr. Hill gave notice of amendments to each of the hills, pro viding for tho repeal of all income taxes. Tho senate, at 2:10 p. m., ad journed until Wednesday. TELEGRAPHIC news CONDENSED FROM OUIt MOST IMPORTANT DISPATCHES. Short anil Crisp Items of General Interest to Our Readers.

Resignations have been requested by Secretary Carlisle from George W. Aschoroft, inspector of hulls at Nash ville, Tenn., and O. C. Dugges, in spector of steam boilers at Nashville, Tenn. The conference committee of the two houses concluded the consideration of t in sundry civil appropriation bill late Tuesday nnd will report an agreement. There is a compromise on the senate amendment for the payment of heirs of the victims of the Ford the.lit l dis aster, which, however, provides the necessary appropriation. The same ih true of the amendment for the Atlanta exposition. The amendment concern ing the donation of 1.000,000 acres of lands to various arid land states for the encouragement of irrigation remains iu tho hill, but in amended form. A crisis iu the tariff affair* was reached Friday, both in tho open sen ate and in tho secret councils of the democratic tariff confi roes. When tho conference closed it was with the un derstanding that tho meetings would bo suspended for the present. No time was set for reassembling tho confi reos, nnd it was felt that no further sessions might bo necessary in case tho Rcnnto acted favorably on Senator Hill's resolution directing the son ato conferees to report the situation of affairs. What was of most importance was tho feeling expressed by the house conferees at the close of the confer ence that in case the Hill resolution passed—nnd they believed it would— the conference would practically bo relieved of its work ami it would re main only for the house to accept tho senate bill as a lesser evil, as they be lieve, than the McKinley law. All that remains now to make tho senate bill a law is tho president's sig nature, and some believe, though with out good grounds, that he will with hold his signature or possibly veto it. Tho bill is not so good a one as the house wanted, or as the party had a right to expect, hut it is so farsuperior to the McKinley act that no otto who cherishes the hope of ultimate freo trade or who believes iu tariff reform could conscientiously hinder it» pas sage. This was the feeling which prompted Speaker Crisp to withdraw his forocs from tho field when ho saw how hopeless and even disastrous it was to continue the fight. It was this view which urged Mr. AVilson to call a caucus of democrats and advise its ac ceptance. It is currently reported that ono reason why free sugar, freo coal and free iron were put through the house as separate measures was in compliance with an expressed demand from the white house, so that the presi dent could tell within the ten days given him to hold the bill exactly what dis position tho senate intended making of them. If they pass any or all of these it is said ho will sign the bill. If that body treats these measures us is their habit of treating popgun lulls, then he will veto the tariff document and hold congress together until another nnd more satisfactory bill is sont to him.

Bradstrcct’s weekly trade review says: “Evidence continues to accumulate that the earlier portion of July wit nessed tho lowest point iu tho ebb of the commercial tide, in the after tho moderate revival in the spring. July bank clearings this year < furnished a list of twenty-nine cities with larger aggregates than last year, ( while the June report furnished only eighteen cities with totals larger than in June a year ago. “Tho practical cessation of various severe industrial disturbances of the year has emphasized the tendency to improvement reported by telegraph from manufacturing and commercial, centers the past week. A further iu- q dication of tho tendency to improve-, ment is seen in the week’s 30 cents per ton for steel billets, MM* in the fact that the domestic wool my kets today are more in favor ,eller than they have been for a year, and that wool is firm at the 2 cents advance scored in the last week. “ tho New York stock market is troug iu toue on renewed expecta tion* of a tariff settlement, with the unexpected improvement in raihgj&d arcings and tho stopping of gold ex ports as additional factors. ;| “Southern railroad shares attractl .increased attention and favor from the! relatively good conditions in that sec-1 lion. “Boston reiwits Massachusetts cot ton manufacturers find business un, satisfactory, but mauufacturers ol men’s wear, woolens, etc., report prod ucts moving freely.
