Next in order was the selection of a can didate for senior vice commander in-chief, aud it being considersd that the office out of courtesy belonged to Massachusetts, the matter was left ko the delegates from that state. After a long conference the name of Richard F. Tobin was presented as the unanimous choice. The encampment theve ujKin instructed the adjutant general to cast one vote for Mr. Tobin, and he ac cepted the position. George I'.

An Interesting Incident. An interesting incident was the presen tation of a gavel by a comrade from the jiost at Honolulu, .Sandwich Islands, to Comniander-in-Chief Alger for the nation al encampment. A very felicitous re sponse was made by Commaudcr-in-Chief Alger on behalf of the encampment.

WAsHimiTOK, Aug. 14.--Republican «tors will to-night hold what will probubly prove to be the most importent cancus of the session. Then is to lie determined the fate of the federal elections bill. The omis sion of this measure in the Quay resolution, which cited pieces of legislation of which disposition should be until® before adjourn ment, greutly disappointed the supporters of the bill, and ns soon us the resolutiiou was brought before the senate Wedtisaday Senator Hoar submitted an amendment to include the tedcral elections bill iu the list to lie considered liefore tlie session ended It was referred, together with the y**y resolution, to the committee on rules, iusd that liody will probably hold it until ttis caucus has been told.

Vice Chairman James 8. Clarkson, of tbe Republican nntiunnl committee, pressed himself hut night very vigorously in his criticism of the Quay resolution. He said: "The party has pledged itself to pass tlie elections bill, and its pattene« is wearing out iu seeing the Republican sen ate virtually controlled, both on this and on tlie tariff question, by the defiant and boastful Democratic minority. A failure to pass this bill and the tariff bill before the adjournment of this session of grew will be a betrayal of the Republican party." sen t*\ Li.» Tlie Attitude of the House.

YVashikoton, Aug. 14.- The senate agreed to the house amendments to the marine «inference bills. A resolution was ogri-ed to directing the secretary of the navy to investigate the alleged «mnterfeit stamping of steel at the Linden works, lfittsburg. The resolution« of Messre. Ed munds, Blair and Quuy, relating to the order of business and limit of debate were referred to the committee on rules, Mr. Hoar having offered an amendment to in clude the elections bill in the order offbnsi 11 ess propos«! by Mr. Quay. The joint res olut ion to extend current appropriations to Aug, 30 was pas««). Consideration of the tariff hill was resumed, and the tin plate paragraph was discussed by Messrs. Gray, Gorman, Dawes and Hiscock. The conference report on the ludiau appropria tion bill was agreed to. The senate passed, with committee amendments, tbe bill to increase the clerical force in the pen sion office The Tin Plate Struggle. When the tariff bill came up the quest ion was on Mr. Vest's amendment reducing the duty on tin plate from two and two teoths cento to one cent per pound—the existing rate—and Mr. Gray took the floor and continued his argument in support at Mr. Vest's amendment. He pleaded for the canning factories, aud asked that the increased taxation should not be taken from the poor for the benefit «f a bloated syndicate formed to establish facture not now existing, and where tlie work waa to be done by imported English men aud Welshmen. a ni.inri Mr. Carlisle Speaks. Mr. Carlisle citing n statement made before the honse by Mr. Unterinyer (that the quantity of tin plate annually imported into the United State« was 330,002 tone, costing *23,000,000, and that the production of that material in this country would give employment to 300,000 workmen) said that if ouo-baif of the *23,000,01X1 was spent in wages each one of the workmen wonld re ceive the magnificent sum of *38.33 per year, and if the whole amount was paid on wages each one of the workmen would re ceive *70.00 per year. And that, he said, was the sort of statement ou which this legislation was ask«l. Senator Gray'* Appeal. Mr. Gray appealed to Republican sena tors in God's name to raise some portion of the people's burden instead of increas ing it. Mr. Hiscock said the increase of daty on tin plate had received the unani mous vote of the Repnblican representa tives in the other bouse, and these repre sentative were almost without exception from agricultural districts. The northern Democratic representatives who voted against it were, on the other hand, from large cities and not (rein agricultural dis tricts. IN THE POLITICAL WORLD.

Old heads here say that one of two things must happen soon, either the strike will become prodigious or else it will die. i'luknrtnn Men Badly Wounded. The first affray of the strike occurred a* West Albany last night.. The assertion had lieen frequently made that if the Pinkerton men attempted to move thu freight they would he stoned.
