Cannot Be "Very Much Longer Procrastinated. The Tariff Caucus. Washington, Mar. 1. The Demo cratic caucus on the tariff bill la over and both sides are claiming to bave made progress for the interests they represented. The outcome is In the nature of a victory for the Democratic members of the linance committee, who prepared the bill as it was return ed to them without any instructions to make changes. Immediately after adjournment of the caucus, Senators Gorman, Brlce, Hill, Murphy, Camden and one or two others who haye been known to be very much opposed to the bill of the fl nance committee, held a consultation and their attitude Is In direct contrast with the members of the finance com mittee. When Senator Pougb, of Ala bama, said he would not be bound by the action of the cauous, several sen ators at ouco declared it would bo useless to take any more votes. Opinion seems to be divided whether tUellunnce cammlttee will now makeauy changes. The Impression Is some changes of a minor nature will be made, as Well as some concessions granted where de mands have been apparently Just, and where changes will not necessitate other changes Ju the bill. It is expect ed the bill will be disposed of as soon as possible. One member of tho committee said he expected the bill would be reported to the full committee by Saturday and efforts will be made to get it Into the senate early next week. The Republicans look upon the result of the caucus as one of distinct ad vantage to them and possible disaster to the bill. It Is thought the strength which opponents of the bill haye shown, Indicates the bill will be molli fied in the senate or it may be post poned to the first Monday in November. The probabilities are tbe opposition may be very much like that In the house, making a great show to secure concessions but in the end will melt away, and the bill be passed. A conference, while the senate was in session was devoted to hearing state ments fromseuators who desire chang es in the bill. Benatore Hljl, Brlce, White, Cafiery and Gorman, It is un derstood, expressod themselves quite freely as to changes they desire. The question of the method of levying duty was discussed and the contest was be tween those who fayored specific, and those who advocated ad valorem duties. Senator Mills contended for the ad valorem system. Only one vote was taken on tho proposition touptatax on iron ore, which was lost by a major lty of two votes. Senator Pugh an nounced he would not be bound by the action of the caucus on the proposition. By general consent the caucus con cluded to recomlt the bill to the finance committee, without Instructians, ex cept so far as the wishes of the various senator, as expressed in caucus, may be considered as such. The Silver Struggle. Washington, Mar. 1. In the bouse, Gelsseuhelmor tried to secure unani mous couseut for the bill for an appro priation to save the armament of the Kearsarge, but Bland demanded the regular order. Kllgore, as a matter of personal privileges, presented the reso liriiiu reciting the law requiring tbat whenever a member was absent, ex cept on account of sickness, his pay will be wltheld; asking information of .HMricant.atarms whether be had enforced the law, if not why not, and if he believed It could not be enforced to give bis reason. Cummlngs, Clancy and Magner broke from the silent ranks of the New York delegation, giving up the nil. buster. After the name of Bingham was called and be did not answer, Johnson, of Ohio, called attention to the fact that the rules of the houso ex presely require members preseut to vote. The sneaker ruled tho roll-call could not be Interrupted, Johnson then re served the point till the conclusion of the roll-call. The roll-call being com pleted, Livingston renewed Johnson's point of order, and demanded that Tracey, who refused to vote, be held in contempt of the house. Johnson said be bad a list of twenty-five members who bad not yoted. Livingston demanded that the speak er enforce tho count under the decision of the supreme court. "But," returned tho speaker, "the cbair only has power to request a member to abide by tho rule; the chair la the organ of the bouse, not Its master (applause) and as long as the present occupant is in the cbair, be will never make a rule." (Renewed applause.) Boatner declares it must be in order to make a motion, under the rule cited, to place Tracey in contempt. The chair then stated the discussion was proceeding by unanimous consent and be was ready to announce the result of the vote. Hu then announced the re sult as 1C9 to 5, five short of a quorum. Mr. Bland, in conversation with a correspondent, expressed the utmost confidence in bis bill's passage. A resolution calling for complete con gressional investigation of the affairs of the Nicaragua Canal company, and looking for governmental control of the canal, has been Introduced in the house by Representative Geary, of Cal ifornia. Bland GetB There. Washington, Mar. 1. In the bouse today after Cummlngs failed to get unanimous consent tor consideration of an appropriations, $45,000 for re claiming the wreck of the Kearsarge, a vote on the adoptlon,of the special order, to limit debate on the seig niorage bill to two hours, pending at close of yesterday's session, came up. Exactly a quorum voted and the special order was adopted 100 to 13. So the long struggle was ended and the vote on Bland's pet measure Is assured. Bland was recognized and offered a substitute for the original bill. Silver Coinage Bill Passes. Washington, D. C March 1. The Bland substitute seigniorage bill carried by 171 to 06. Its provisions are as fol fel fol eows: The first section of the substi tute Is Identical with the first section of the original bill, except that coinage is to proceed as fast ns"pos3lble"lnstead of "practicable." The substitute for the second section is as follews: "After the coinage provided for In the first section, the seigniorage remainder of silver bullion purchased in pursuance of the act of July 14, 1890, shall be coined Into legal tender standard sliver dollars as far as possible, and the ooin shall be held for redemption of treasury notes Issued against such bullion. As fast as the bullion shall be coined for redemption, said notes shall not be reis sued but shall be cancelled in amounts equal to coin held derived from the coinage herein provided for, and silver certificated shall be Issued on such coin in the manner now provided for by law." "Provided this act shall not be be construed to change the existing law relating to the legal tender character or mode of redemption of exlstlug treas ury notes under the act of 1800. A sufficient sum is appropriated to carry into eflect the provisions of this act," etc. Voting on tho bill then began with Johnson amendment, providing for gold redemption of silver certlffi cates, which was lost 71 to 160.

London, Mar. 1. l!T"tfie Houso of Commons this aftornoon tho Lords nmobdmeut to tho Local Government bill was taken un, Gladstone addressed tho bouse with marvelous energy and vigor. Ho said tho government felt that the operation of sending and re sending a bill from one house to anoth er bad continued long enough. To coutlnuo tho process would be a loss of dignity to both houses ami (he govern ment had decided to stop the operation and take a decided cburso. The gov ernment had tho choice of rejecting tho bouse of Lords amendment and abandoning tho hopo of passing tho bill or accept them under protest with the hopo of soon reversing them. The government had adopted tbo latter course. . ..,. . . Gladstone centinued: "Wo haye now reached tho aouto stage. It ap pears the lords desire to annlhlllate tho whole work of the house of commons. The differences betwoou the houses is not temporary or .casual. This Is a state of things, I am compelled to say, that cannot coutlnuo, There Is a higher authority than tho house of commons, namely authority of tho nation, which must In a last resort, decide at once.
