TARIFF REVISION. ' .2 ‘3"
Chairman Wilson wm Haven new nin
Ready in November.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 20.—The _ majority
members of the \Vays and Means Commit-
tee have not yet decided upon atime for
beginning the work of formulating the bill
to replace the present McKinley law. Fri-
day next will be the first regular meeting
day of the committee after the hearings
have ceased, but it is hardly probable that
the members will want to rush into that
part of the work after nearly three weeks’
‘ continuous sessions. Besides all the testi-
mony submitted by those who have ap-
peared before the . committee is not yet
printed, and the members will probably
desire to study the statements made to
them before entering upon the preparation
of their bill. The probabilities are, there-
fore, that nothing will be done on the de-
tails of the bill before next week". It is
the expectation of Chairman Wilson and
his colleagues on the committe e that the
measure will be ready for presentation to
the House by November.
Chairman Wilson has informed a num-
ber of persons who have applied for the
privilege of appearing before the commit-
tee that it will be impossible to grant their
requests, as the time allotted for hearings
being already occupied by the terms ofres-
olution adopted by the House, any part-ic-
ular subject u on which information is de-
sired may be investigated by the sub—com-
mittee having it in ckrrge, and in the
course of the preparation of the new tariff
bill, it is probable that several inquiries
will be prosecuted under this resolution.

ble Silver Legislation.
FIGURING WITHOUT CLEVELAND
Concessions That Might be Made on Both
Sides—What Night Sessions of the Senate
and Consequent Physical Exhaustion
May Bring Forth.
W'ASHINGTON, Sep. 20.—There is a
marked increase in the number and variety
the silver question. According to one of
these stories the Secretary of the Treasury
is to appear before the Committee on Fi-
nance this week for consultation on the
subject, but various members of that com-
mittee deny the truth of the statement,
while others assert that they have never
heard it mentioned either on the floor of
the Senate or in committee. Senator Mc-
Pherson permits the use of his name in
denying that such a proposition has been
advanced. Still, the fact remains, that s
great deal is being said looking in that di-
rection. The compromise, if there is to be
one, upon which it is thought the offer
would be made would consist of concessions
not only by the eastern, but by the silver
men. The latest proposition. discussed is
one that directs the coinage of the seign-
orage now in the treasury and the pur-
chase and coinage of a further amount of
silver to about the aggregate provided for
in the Faulkner amendment. the silver to
be coined to its full coinage value, thereby
preventing the storage of any more seign-
orage. This would appeal to two classes,
those who want the the purchases contin-
ued and these who believe that what the
country needs is an enlarged currency, and
advocate the coinage of the seignorage
rather than the purchase of more metal.
This would be a concession of the east-
ern men, but if such a concession is made
by them they will insist that it be coupled
with a concession on the part of the west-
ern men that will incorporate in the law
the authority given to the secretary: of the
treasury to issue bonds and buy gold when-
ever in his judgment it becomes necessary
to do so in order to maintain the parity be-
tween the two metals. Unless the silver
men agree to this it is said there can be
no compromise. It was upon such a propo—
sition as this, or one akin to it, that it
was said the secretary of the treasuay was
to be invited to come before the commit-
tee. Secretary Carlisle was in the marble
room during the afternoon, but whether
his visit had anything to do with the
financial question is not known.
Those who favor the compromise out-
lined state that it is known that President
Cleveland would veto it, but that would
be provided for, and after Mr. Cleveland
had stated his exceptions to the bill it
would, by the same combination that put
it through before, he pushed to a passage
over the veto. It is very certain that
nothing has been said in committee indi-
cating any thought of compromise on the
part of the friends of the administration,
and any steps that may be takenjn that
direction will be taken by member ‘ the
committee as senators only.
The fact is that there .appears to be an
unusual amount of lethargy about the
Finance committee. There seems to be no
way for it to force a vote on the pending
bill and until that is out of,_the way its
sessions are held as a perfunctory perform-
ance of a specific duty. The discussion
yesterday was of the most dbsultory sort
; and very little interest was manifested, it
being taken for granted that there was
little need for talk until the Repeal bill
had been voted upon, or, at least, until the
dawn of the breaking of the debate could
be seen in the distance. The bill of Mr.
Morgan for the establishment of a joint
commission of the two houses is looked
upon by the Finance committee as a meas-
ure intended to usurp their own functions,
and very naturally, the members of that
committee will hardly report favorably a
bill to legislate themselves out of pristige
and power. The Faulkner amendment
was talked about, but with no purpose in
view, because it is looked upon as a com-
promise pure and simple and until the
point is reached where compromises are in
order it will receive but the most casual
discussion.
The whole situation may be summed up
by saying the committee is playing a watch-
inggame, and the action Of Mr. VOOrhees
on the floor later in the day was but a
move intended to force their Opponents to
take the next step and indicate their pro-
gramme. The appeamnce of things now
indicate. that night sessions will be the
usual thing beiore the committee is willing
to take up the Faulkner or any other
amendment and discuss it in a serious way
as a possible solution of .the pending diffi-
culty. Still, there are Senntors"'who pro-
fess tO believe that a compromise proposi-
tion will be crystallized before next week
is over. ' ill}

WAsnINGTON, Sep. 20.-—For the third

first occasion, Mr. Dubois (Refillliliehs)

nity to do so, no vote could be or would

Mr. Voorhees, in view of the attitu do of
the opposition, said he would from and
after tO-day ask the Senate to have not
continuous but lengthened sessions, and
he was informed that his programme
would not be resisted, but that the friends
of the bill as well as its enemies, would
be expected to be present.
After a speech by Mr. Mills of Texas in
favor of the bill, and by Mr. Stewart of Ne-

WASHINGTON, Sep., 20. ——-Although Col.
Ike Hill, the Democratic whip, reported
195 Democratic Representatives in the city
yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, 17 more
than a quorum of the House, there were but
173 of them present on the floor at any
one time, and the majority found them-
selves powerless to make any progress with
the bill to repeal the Federal Election
laws. Mr. Fitch returned from New York
and relieved Mr. Tucker on the floor as
leader of the Democratic hosts. At 2:45
o’clock, after vainly endeavoring to secure
a. call of the committees and the introduc-
tion of the report on the Election bill,
Mr. Fitch moved an adjournment, which
was agreed to without: dissent.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 20.-—Tbe cau'c‘us‘ifif ’
Democratic members of the House yest’eifi-lZ
day afternoon was brief and to the point.
Representative Holman presided, and Re-
presentative Alderson acted as secretary.
There was a full attendance of the Dem-
ocrats who had been present during the
proceedings in the House and the action
taken, it was reported, had the hearty and
unanimous concurrence of all who partici-
pated. Speaker CriSp oflered the follow-
ing resolution: ‘
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that it is the duty of every Demo-
cratic member to attend the sessions of the
House, in order that the public business
may be considered and disposed of.
He supported his motionin an earnest
speech, pointing out the necessity that ex-
isted for Democratic Representatives doing
their. full duty to their country and to
their party and honestly endeavoring to
redeem the pledges made to the people who
had entrusted them with the duty of leg-
islating in their behalf.
Mr. Enloe of Tennesse, moved to amend
by adding, “and vote” after the words
.“sessions of the House,” which was ac-
cepted by the Speaker. ‘
Mr. Fithisn of Illinois, moved to add
the following to the Speaker’s resolution,
and the caucus agreed: “And that when
the House meets on to-morrow it is the
sense of this caucus that it remain in ses-
sion continuously until a quorum is ob-
tained, voting in favor of reporting the
bills for the repeal of the Federal Election
laws.” -
There was some discussion as to the ex-
pediency of pressing the consideration of
the Repeal Bills and the overwhelming sen-
timent of the caucus as expressed was fa-
vorable to early action.
The following resolution, Offered by Mr.
McMillin of Tennessee on this point, was
adopted: _
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the House should proceed at
the earliest practicable day during this
session to the consideration of the bill or
bills repealing the law authorizing deputy
marshals and supervisors of‘ele’ctions at
the polls. .
After adopting the resolutions as a
whole the caucus adjourned having been
in session but a little over an hour.
Subsequently, in pursuance to the last
resolution Speaker Crisp issued a call for
a meeting of the Committee on Rules for
to—day at 1; O’clock, to consider the fixing
of a date fOi' taking up the repeal bills and
determining the length of time that shall
be allowed for debate.
Speaking of the probabilities of. the
length of the continuous session
agreed upon, Speaker J Crisp said he
did not look for anything extraordi-
nary or uncomfortable. - “After we get a
quorum, and I imagine there will be one
on hand Wednesday, the Republicans can-
not detain the House any great length of
time. They may keep us until 7 or 8
o’clock, but we’ll drive the report through
as soon as a quorum appears.”

races and languages'represented in the
population serves only to separate the
people more and make them regard the
city with utter indiflerence.
But there is reason for believing that
this state of things is gradually growing
better. There are evidences of increased
public spirit, of a greater pride .in the
city and of a lar er interest in her de-
velopment and improvement. Great
schemes Of public improvement have
been projected or begun. Millions have
recently been expended in the acquisi-
tion of new parks, and twice lately when
it was proposed to do something that
would injure Central park there was an '
exhibition of aroused public opinion that
prevented the outrages and would have _
done credit to a much smaller but more
enthusiastic city.
Rich men are now contributing a lib-
«oral portion of their wealth to enter-
prises that will increase the glory of the
metropolis.._‘ Columbia college is being
rapidly developed into a great universi-
ty. A magnificent r ~-:lral has been
started. A spacio‘rr— :xical garden is
to be established. *1 am) aquarium isto

Battery. A splendid speedway for horses
is to be built. The city isfito, erect an
immense municipal building, which it is
proposed shall be a notable architectural
addition to the metropolis. The present
‘city hall is to be given to the trustees‘of
the Tilden trust and made the home‘ Of

The art and natural history museums ;
are being rapidly developed and will J
soon take rank among the best in the
world. Monuments and statues are being
multiplied, and eight years after his
death the $500,000 tomb of General Grant
is approaching completion.
But in other and perhaps more inter-
esting ways is the revival of public spirit
in New York being manifested. Busi-
ness men are showing an increased inter-
est in the good government of the city
and in its improvement in little things
as well as great. Other cities might in-
deed copy with advantage some of the
methods of the organizations that have
been formed here for the public weal.
The City Improvement society has
been formed and has started out to in-
vestigate the various complaints of citi-
zens and to secure, if possible, better
pavements, better street cleaning and
similar improvements in parks, bridges
and streets of the 'city. Lately a munic-
ipal art society has been organized by
leading artists, architects and others,
with a view of making the city more
beautiful. They seek to improve the ar-
chitecture of the public buildings, to se-
cure artistic decoration within them and
to prevent the erection of inferior stat-
ues and other inartistic structures. An-
other societ is engaged in marking with
bronze tab ate the places of historical
interest. Others of a more hilanthrop-
ical nature are endeavoring better the
lives and condition of thetenement house
population. '
The women have organized a health
protective association, and are endeavor-
ing to institute reforms that shall de-
crease the death rate and make New
York a. better city to live in. The latest
reform which they have taken up is that
of securing a health regulation re airing
the removal of the refuse of thg§0,000
horses in the city of New York. The
physicians comprising the Academy of '
Medicine have lately been acting with
vigor and courage to secure improved
quarantine protection and a purified wa-
ter supply. The chamber of commerce
and the board of trade—the mouthpieces
of the merchants and bankers—have late—
ly exhibited increased activity and exer-
cised awider influence. All t ese things
certamly indicate that New Yorkers are
beginning to wake up and to show a
livelier interest in the welfare of the city.
Perhaps the fact that other cities are
getting closer to her in the competition
or business has something to 'do with
this. It is beginning to dawn upon“her
citizens that unless she can unite with
Brooklyn, bridge and tunnel the North
river, throw more bridges over— the East
river, get rapid transit from city hall to
Westchester county and institute other
measures .of public improvement, she is
liable to lose her commercial-supremacy.
