Hi Democratic Senators Indulge in Vain Regrets Over Tariff Fizzle, A MEASURE WHICH NOBODY OWNS Mr. Vest Turns the Calcium Light Upon Tariff History and Advances Opinion That the Senate Can Never Be Democratic Mr. Vilas and Mr, Mills Moralize on What Might Have Been A Bill That Satisfies No One. Washington, Aug. 15. THE house bill to phot sugar on the tree list wns taken op in the denote early in today's proceed ings and orenpied attention np to the time of adjournment. In con nection with it a communication was rend to the senate from Secretary Car lisle to Senator Hurris (Dnx, Tenn), noting chairman of the finance commit tee, givinjr figures to show that with sugar on the froe list there would b-1 n tr-asnrv deficit of from $23,000,000 to $30 000.000. Despite that communi cation a motion was made by Mr. Berry, (Dom., Ark.), that the senate proceed to the consideration of the bill; end that motion was antagonized by one offered by Mr. Harris that the bill be referred to the committee oti finance. Mr. Harris made an argnmnt in support of his iutioo. Speeches agaiust ft reference and in favor of the passage of the hou'i hill were mad by Senators Berry, Wst, (Dein., Mo.), Mills, (Dcm., 'is). Mr. Vst's speech wns made in the elocution of his promise to tnrn the calcium light on the history of the bill in the finance committee. In his speech Mr. Vest declared that the president had said, before bis letter to Mr. Wil son was sent, that he would support the bill that passed. As it was now, bis letter to Mr. Wilson ww a good campaign docuweut for the Republi cans. SENATE ON THE TAU1FF. Mr. Vest said the senate conforrees bad aid that they might have either free coal or f:eo Iron or. But the dif ficulty was thut the honsa conterroes could not be i.'u.do to understand that tho senate conferred knew more about the condition of tff.iirs in the senate than they did. Ho declared with much emphasis that the senate wns not n D -inocrxtic senate on the question of tariff reform; never wns and never wmild be, is at present constituted. He was tired of evasion, suspicion and lying and be wanted the truth to be known. He spoke of the newspaper suggestions that he was actuated by a feeling of revenge against the president bccuuno be had ignored him in regwd to patronage in Missouri, He bad no private grief against the president, but he wished to acknowledge his gratitude to him for having relieved him from all appointments. He was ready to follow the president as the old Scott followed the banner of the Bruce. VILAS POUKS OIL ON TIIE WATERS. Mr Vilas (Dm., Wis ) replied to Mr. Vest's statement as to the action of the Democratic caucus when the senate bill was first reported to it on the 20:h of Marc i. That bill, Mr. Vilas declared, was a justifiable bill in its general features. But the caucus then voted for free iron and the finance committee has not carried out that vote. It bad acted on the general be best to prepare a bill that could com mand a majority of the votes in the senate and had reported a duty on iron ore as well as on coal. Mr. Vilas left that point and applied himself to a defense of the president Against the animadversions of Mr. Vest. He assured that senator that the presi dent allusion to party perfidy had bad no reference to him; and he expressed his regret that that senator should think that he could be accused of party perfidy or party dishonor he who had been so honestly and zealously laboring to bring about the result of the passage of a tariff bill. Mr. Vilas said that the Democratic party had lost suoh an opportunity as was rarely, in the providence of God, offered to political parlies. And while he lamented it, and would nor attempt to conceal his regret that it had not done more, he by no means undertook to say that it had not done much, NOBODY'S TARIFF BILL. Mr. Mills (D m., Tex ) characterized the tariff bill as now passed, as a re- tnarKHiiie measure, one which did not reflect the sentiment of a thousand per sons in the Unite 1 States. He was not amiss in saying that not a Republican lavorea it; that not a Fopolist favored it; and he would not be far from the trnth in saying that the great mass of the Democratic partv condemned it. It whs the product of five or six senators. But they had been between the devil and the deep sea and they had gone to the sea rather than go to the devil. Laughter. He had no apologias to maks for it, because it was better than the McKin ley law and whs the best that they oonld do under the circumstances, lie did not accept it, however, as a final settlement of the question of tariff re form. But it was a step, a substantial step, in the policy of putting on the free list articles that enter into manu factures. He now favored the bouse bill to put sugar on the free list and be would nave it considered and passed now, and not have it referred to the fi nance committee. IRISH CATHOLIC UNION.

Delegates Wear Cozeylte Badge) Bear ing Significant Intoripticni. Columbus, O, Aug. 15. The labor convention for the purpose of taking independent action in politics w.ts called to order by President McBrido at 10 o'clock tliis morning in the Trades Assembly hall. John Bran schweger, president of the Central Labor union of Toledo, was elected temporary chairman. Ttie only approach toward speioh making was by Temporary Chairman Branschweiger, who said the conven tion was the result of a movement among trade nnions all over the coun try in favor of united and independent political action. Delegates to the number of 110 wore present, others still to come. The hall was crowded and Lydon hall, a large auditorium, was secured for the after noon session. The delegates wore badges with portraits of Coxey. and bearing the legend: "Keep off the grass." It looks as though the McBride con vention was merely an advance guard of the People's party convention which opens Thursday. Fusion with the Populists is regarded as next to a cer tainty. . MIL HOWARD'S STORY. Vice President of American Railway Union Gives Some Interesting Testimony. Chicago, Aug. 15. In his testimony bsfure the national board of labor commissioners today Gtorge W. How ard, vice presideut of thn American Railway union, gave some history of the uoion in an interesting way. Mr, Howard was asked if the policy of the Amerioan Railway union was to ab sorb the other labor organizations, nnd if so whether this policy bad anything to do with the recent strike. Mr. Howard said it had nothing to do with the declaration of the strike, bun to do with the outcome of it. The American Railway uniau, he asserted, was formed to prmoie a narmoay of action among railway . employes, and not to destroy other organizations. The scope of the American Railway union was defined at length. Mr, Howard said the boycott against Pullman curs was instituted, not because Pullman had manufactured the cars, but be cause ho operated them. "We simply wished to out off Mr. Tollman's rev enue," said the witness, Mr. Howard wont minutely into the extent and cantos of the strike. He related bow the general managers re fused, on Mayor Hopkins' request, to arbitrate the strike. He said the first he had beard of rioting was when a re p rter for a morning paper drew a pis t 1 at Bine Island. Mr. Howard testi fi'dtbatbe had given information to city detectives that certain persons had been paid large suras by General Mana ger Egan, of tho Rook Island road, to burn cars, thereby arousing publio sen timent against the striken. John L. Kernan asked the witness annmberot questions with a view to showing that Htrikes are nnneccessary and that they give the lawless element a chance to commit acts of violence. Mr. Howard acknowledged that this was true and that it was better not to strike, than to strike if possible. The commission adjourned with Mr. Howard still on the stand. COXEY'S RETREAT.

HUNGRY GETTYSBURG, An unsuccessful effort has been made by the citizuns of Gettyabnrg to have the provost guard withdrawn from the town so that the soldiers would have free access to it. The trades people want the money of the boys in blue. General Snowden, how ever, refused to withdraw the guard and the boys are still debarred from the town and its pleasures. Today the weather was nlmost per fect. The health of the men of the regiment continues good, the few cases of sickness being of a non-serious character. General Snowden informed The Tribune representative this evuu ing that there will be but one division reviewed of the troops which wili take place this afternoon. Assistant Secretary of War Doe ar rived Tuesday night as the representa tive of the national government. A salute to him was fired today. Among the distinguished arrivals toJay at di vision headquarters were Governor Reynolds of Delaware and General Brown of Maryland. Lieutenant Colo nel Coursen of the Thirteenth will have the honor today of beiug field officer at division headquarters. SCENES AT NIGHTFALL, The camp looks most impressive after nightfall, viewod from Semiuary ridge. To the east, west, north nnd south hundreds of tents can be faintly dis cerned in outline by the aid of the lights within, whilo the murmur of many voices float on the midnight air. One regiment is singing, anothershont ing, while a third is applauding the efforts of some entertainer or indorsing his work by shouts of laughter. Here and there a solitary figure moves along on the outskirts of tho camp with the precision of a machine. It is the guard on whose vigilance the safety of the camp is supposed to depend. The regulations at this division en campment are very rigid, and many of the boys begin to chaff uudor the re straint which camp life imposes. Thus fur veiy few of them have been suc cessful in obtaining the coveted per mission to visit Gettysburg, General Snowden believes that the place for the soldiers is in camp, and has is sued orders to that effect. Companies are detailed daily to patrol the town, and those who have the hardihood to visit it without permission, find con siderable difficulty in evading the pa trolers. BOLDIERS WHO AUG ROWDIES. Some of the soldiers have shown a disposition to indnlge in rowdyism, but to the credit of the members of the Thirteenth be it said thut they take no part in anything that would reflect discredit on them. Two members of the Fourteenth regiment ot the Sec ond brigade, Srgnnt Dorsey and Pri vate Coover, were driven out of enmp for unsoldierly conduct at Gettysburg aud several members of the same regi ment wore arrested at Round Top Mou day for taking forcible possession or the shop of a dealer in relics.
