When the house ioir.mil Ice on ways and means began the preparation of a democratic tariff bill , on last Mmidiiy , It was not the purpose of the republican members of that body to olTor aiii factious opposition lo the work. They believed thai inasmuch as tho/country had al the polls last November expressed its do- Biro for nn era under democratic rule , and especially a wish to conduct commercial enterprises under a democratic tariff , that It Rhimld bo permitted to have Its way. There WHS a real scrupulous feeling prevalent nmnng thn republicans In the house and the senate that they should only speak and vote against the radical and dcstructivo tariff projects ol the democrats ; but things are different now. Within forty-eight hours after the work up'in the democrallo larlff moaiuro was begun it became plain to the republican membership of the ways and moans commit tee that the Intention was to strike n direct blow at the rvpuhlic.in principles of tariff proteclinn. Not only did It appear that commercial reciprocity was to bo trnnsllxed in a most disgraceful manner , but the bounty on sugar and a number of duties which are levied by the McICInle.v law for Hoceillc encouragement to infant In dustries were to bo made laughlnc stocks if possible. The manner in which Chairman Wilson and his associates Intro diiccd free trade witnesses beloro the com mittee and conducted their cross examina tions was plain notice to the republican membership that republican principles were to be humiliated to the hist degree , and it served to put ex-Speaker Heed and bis asso ciates on their mettle. It can be stated that tiie republican leaders in congress are now again in tlio saddle , and will light for the cardinal principles of their party. Stulil Smmtnrrn lnitljtiniit. The republican members of the senate committee on Iliianco wore galled by wit nessing the opera boulTo performances before their rival cpniniitteo in the house. To Tin : BII : : correspondent each ono of the republi can membeiK of the senate committee on linaneo had expressed a desire to simply make a record fur the protective features ot the tariff. In the llrst place they did not believe it would lie practicable fo'- them to attempt to defeat the will of the majority in congress , and secondarily , it occurred to them that It would bo out of place to start out upon a campaig i of thwarting the ex pressed will of the majority us recorded lasl November. But the evident purpose of the majority of the ways and means committee to ridicule as well as knife to the heart every republican principle of tariff protection , spurred the republicans on to a new juirpose. It is now stated Unit not only will thorepuo- llcans In the house battl' > lo preserve as many oi the landmarks of their party as possible , but that the republican members of the scnato committee on finance will present n solid front against the leading features of the tariff bill which the democrats propose to pass In tlio house. It is possible that the divisions within the democratic ranks and the great necessities for increased revenues will , when taken in connection with the temper of the republicans in the house , re sult in the linal adoption by tlmt body of a milder tariff measure than they nntleipato. Hut when the bill goes to the senate It will not lind a few meek and pliable republicans. Drilling lo "abide by the expressed desire of the people at Iho polls. " On the contrary , there will lo ) organi/ed opposition to the free trade policy. Wlnit u Minority May Mo. H is not only possible but practicable for the republicans In the senate to preserve the KiilU nt features of the republican party when the lnritT bill reaches tlie upper branch of congress. The power of the minority has boon shown conspicuously upon two great occasions during the past two yours-In do- foitUni : the elections bill under the last ad ministration and opposing the unconditional repeal of the silver law nt this session. A factious and determined minority can defeat almost any proposition In the senate. This possibility is made practicable under Iho proscnl conditions by the fact that thrvo or four of the democratic states lire llinatoned with destruction bv the bill which ihn commit tci on ways and means In tends to force thronph the House. The only safety for the half do/en or moro democratic M-nators In securing protection to their own great home Indnstriei lies in secret connlv- nnco and private trading with the repub licans , If they refuse lo wink at certain modllleations in the honso bill West Vir ginia , North Carolina , Alabama and Louisi ana are likely lo ho up in anus against the party In power , and their political futtiro will heroine not only more or lessa nmttorof speculation , hut the senators representing them tire likely to bo left at homo at the end of Iholr present terms. Asa consequence , Iho prodli-lion Is now fiv.ely made that n larllT bill will mil go into law under ono year from this time , oven hhould il go through the house In the early part of next year. It looks also as thouuii tliiTo would he a compromise directed on Iho questions of commercial reciprocity and hiigar bounty. Ills evident tlmt dom'oorats will not have their way 'n "tariff reform. " lllni'liliiK IVnnloii l.iigUliitliiii , A peculiar and underhand condition of affairs has arisen in the senate committee on pensions. By nn umlerstamllnu" between the democratic members of thai body I'lla quorum cannot bo secured for the iraiibac- liuti of business. The demoernls havu 1Ca f majority of iwo upon the cominiitro. if ali of them except tluu-lmlrnmn , Mr. Palmer of Illinois , roinain the away iroiu ' i a yWiitn for business cannot bo secured , id rte bills can bo acted upon In this congicss. Kaih time the committed lias met at this session Chain , ail Palmer was on hand and all the repub lican members , but wlion off or t was had lo net upon bills the chairman has announced that a quorum not lining present no action could be had. It is the program for demo crats to act upon no pi-nslnii hills during ( ho Kifti-lliirdconuress. . lldc Tho.ro is bin ono re course for Iho minority , cso and that U to rise to a question of privilege m the senate , and lifter publicly calling attention to thu con dition of nITairs and throwing the rospoa- fdhiiiij upon the democratic majo'-lty , de mand that another republican senator bo up- poll.tcd upon the i-dinmittce. It has been the custom to give thu majority but ono more member than the minority , but now the majority has two more members than the minority. That is because Clmirman Palmer , who is n presideniial quantity. Is into favor of pensions , and cannot bo trusted teen curry silt tlio wishes of the administration that no action bo had upon any pension bill In this congress. Keprcseiitativo Boon , a populist from iho ' Bovenlh Minnesota dlHtrict , has been oxas- nerated and almost paralywd by Headsman ' Maxwell of the Potolllce department fn un rffort to secure the uppoliiiineni of a pair of fourth-class ixjatinasters , The posltioiib were worth less than tW a year , but the headsman of tno popular branch of the gov ernment watches his prerugatlvf.s as closely in minor us in important brunches. AfteV calling ii | > oii Maxwell a number of times , and rgmsf the appointment of a couple of popu- 1m * u pomuianeii , Mr. Uo n wu * told yes- lerday afternoon that hi * recommendations would not bo followed. "Aren't you going to make now appoint ments. " Inquired the iwpullst member. No. " was the brief reply. Why ! " Became I linn no democrats In the neigh borhood to take the places. " "But , " exclaims the populist , "I have made recommendations. " "Oh , thai makes no dlffcrctioc. You have recommended nopullsts. Wo must havu democrats. " "Thero nro no dcmocnitlo patrons of the lire * " "Can't we Import them ? " "No. " was the congressman's reply , "wo want iiopnllsls. " Well , " said Iho fourlh assistant post master conoral , "I shall abolish the nfllces. 1po would prefer to do that rather than ap point either republicans or populists " There are two less poatnftlcos In Minnesota now. lll rrKHrt | ti l'iiitllUt | * . The general disrespect shown the popu list senators by tlio trallerlort and the other members of the set.uto durlne llio pasl week lias attracted atlciilion. Upon two occa sions during lliu week Senator Peffer deliv ered lentrthy addresses upon silver and thu coin-so pursued by the New York national banks In refusing piyments to depositors and issuing clearing house cei tlllcates with which lo meet the demands of depos itors. On both occasions nearly every onu loft the naileries and not a single senator gave him attention. As soon ns he began to spcalt the galleries began to clear and the senators busied themselves with reading newspapers or attending to their mall. When Senator Allen offered a resolution to adjourn the senate over Labor tiny it was not only voted down by an almost unanimous vote , but he was not allowed to speak upon the subject. The populist senators appear to have been classed with thu inflationists and anarchists by nil of their colleagues and are given no recognition upon any hand. \Vrsti-rn I'L'iiHliint.

The senate , during the coming week , will devote itself almost entirely to the discussion of tlio repeal bill , Possibly there may lu an occasional break in the monotony , caused by taicin-r up some other sublect during tlio morning hours , but the calendar affords very HUta s-opu : for di version in this rcsDoct. The calendar is , in deed , one of the briefest of publications these days , owing to tlio fact that the jjon- oral committee notion has b3on encouraged in tlio Interest of the legislation on the Sher man act. It contains two or throe bills pro- vi-Jt'ig for thu settlement ot government claims , three resolutions for the way- mcnt of tlio expenses of recent claim ants to seats in the senate , Senator Morgan's resolution for a linaneo compro mise , a half du/en measures of minor impor tance reported from the committee on pub lic lands , Senator Hill's bill for the repeal of llio fi dutul election law and Senator Voar- heos' rcncal hill and his bill for the removal of thu.tax on state banks. VonrliPFH U'lll l.lu I.OTT. Mr. Voorhces decided moro than a week since that it would bo inexpedient to push his bill In the interest ol the national hanks until the more imnui-tiint repeal bill should be disposed of , and his repeal bill has neon laid aside to allow the housi'Measure to ho discimcu until the senate iro.iay for action. When the unconditional repeal is reached the Voorhces bill will nrobabl.y bo subtil- tilted for the bill which comes from the other end of the capitol. Ueivjrni/ing , as he does , tlio supreme importance of financial legislation. Senator Hill vill not attempt to seci-.ro consiiler.ilion for Ins anti-federal election bill until the question of repeal is concluded. They are the onlv subjects of national Im portance before the senate except Senator Potter's resolution concerning tlio reserves of the Now York , Philadelphia and Huston liamcs. The Porter ivsolntlon has already been made to do considerable duty as a time- Killer and it occupies a place where it can still bo utili/.od for thai purpose. This measure is not on the calender , lint lies on the table and can bo taken up for discussion at. any time during the morninn hour , and , as long as there is any one who desires to t.ilk upon It. it will not bo referred. If , there fore , Iho opponents of repeal prefer to vary the discussion , they can talk every day up to 4 o'clock n pan this resolution. Some of them manifested a disposition , when the resolution in a slightly different I'orm was before them earlier in the aeoslon , to ( 'ivu thu hank question a pretty thorough airing , and It is passible thai Ihero may be moro talk in Ibis line diirlm , ' llio present ween before the resolution can bo disposed of by referring it to the committee on finance. The resolution for the remunera tion uf Messrs. Mantle , Allen and Bockwllh may possibly bo taken .ip with the consent of the leaders of the repeal forces If it should appear that they cannot be consid ered without assuring debates. Other measures on llio calendar stand no show , ac cording to the present aspect of affairs , ot recelviin. thu slightest attention , Millil UVflc ol' rinancliil Til I It. Il Is quite evident that it is the purpose of the repeal advocates vo hold that inoaiure bofoi-o the senate for the present as the ono object of the session to the exclusion of every other subject , so far ns that can bo done. This bill has riirht of way after ' - ' iVloek. It is even possible indeed , that the bill wilt bo pressed more po.itiistcntly during the present week Ihan it was last week , now that there is a cessation of llio compro mise talk. It does not appear , however , that extraordinarily long hours are to bu In sisted upon. Mr. VoorheiM has found that all efforts lo crowd the senate In tills respect are stiiblHirnlv resisted and ho has concluded that time will bo gained by letting tlie de bate taku its legitimate cimr.se until It be comes apparent that discussion h is degener ated Into lUihiistcring. Tlio outlook for the week Is therefore ono of solid talk'on the llnaui'ial situation with the bill repealing thu purchasing clause of the Sherman law ns a basis.

Tlio govern- tin-lit ollleors In charge of the registration b'ooth south of hero expect to bu nblo to Is- suocertitlealcs with enough expedition to supply all comers before Saturday noon. Tlioso first In I. inn. Boomers began to line up In front of the booth last evening , lohu U. Cameron , who has be'.Mi in the real estate business at 104 Knst Ninth street for twenty years , was the IIf.it man to take up a position In front of the booth. Ho look his place at 0 o'clock last night. .1. I { . Sony , a son of Governor Seay of Oklahoma , was the second in line. Bo- hlnil him is .1. K. Anderson of Kansas City. and fourth in line Is. I. O. Columbia , who pot loft in the rush for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe - ahoo lands two years ago , mid who has been waiting hero over since for tlio opening of the Cherokco lands. Frank Howard of Boston , Mass. , was llfth in line. Acces sions to the line Irivo been made all last night and today and this evening ! C > 7 people were in line , with others falling In every few minutes. The line is about n. iiuarter of a mile lomr now. It Is coniiosed ] of all nation alities , ages , condition ? and sexes the Chi naman and American , Iho youth and octo genarian , the capitalist , and the tramp , man and woman , all on eiiu.il terms for onto. Ven dors of hot coffee , sandwicln's , water and pie do a thriving business along the Hue. The corporation of Arkansas City is furnish- infree water in water carts to the boomers In camp. The best of humor pre vails both In the line and in the camps. Counting today's arrivals there arc now about I'J.OOO people encamped here and here abouts awaiting the opening. Only about ' , wo-thlrds of those are eligible to take up claims , the rest being married women and children. Kstimating that there are 5.01)0 ) more settlers to come in before the opening it will be seen that some 10,000 or 12,000 cor- tilicates must he issued in live days or-.000 to 'J.ftOO per day to do this. The registration olllcers will have their hands full. They are . prepared , to establish more booths if they tln'd the present number insufficient. 11I During the past twelve hours , according to the enumeration of the newspaper corre spondents here , about , Il.OOO people arrived and took up quarters cither in the town hero fo in the various uoumors , ' camps south of hero I , adjoining the Cherokee lines. Hundreds of prairie schooners brought in their loads of men , women and children principally children. Five hundred arrived on horse back and about 1,000 more came on tno Mis souri Pacific , the Atehi.soti , Topeka & Santa Fe and the St. Louis & San Francisco rail ways. Mil } On In liy Train. The railroad people here state that they will run excursion trains into the Cherokee Strip on tlie opening day. H has been under stood heretofore that , the Interior depart ment hat forbidden the railroads to run ex cursion trains ou tlio ground that they would not be available to settlers and would place those who could not take trains at a disadvantage. It is understood now that at the hour of noon IheCberokeeStrip necomes a part ot Ihc territory of Oklahoma and that the control of the Interior department over it closes at that hour , placing it beyond tlie power of the secretary of the interior to stop the running of trains. 11 is .said the railroads will run their trains at tlio rate of only twelve miles an hour , so that passeii-xcrs will have no advantage over oven the slowest horsemen.

Although the minds of the Cherokee boomers seem in present -lo be occupied moro with things earthly than things heavenly , some of them have not entirely forgot their religious obli gations. Key. John Fasselt , one of the few ministers of the gospel among the boomers , held church services in tlie camp south of this place today. Of the fi.OOi ) people In camp some 800 attended the services. The services were held in tlio open air , the pulpit wns a large packim ? case mil there was no organ. Despite these drawbacks , a regular church service was lield. There were no fall bonnets or cos tumes , no choir or organ , but Iho congrega tion possibly profited as much from the serv ices as other congregations In other parts of the country. > .ot nil the boomers nt- lemleil the service. Sumo oven profaned tlio day by playing cards , otlu rs by horse racing and other amusements. These worldly di versions , however , took place some distance from tliu religious mooting , so that thu worshipers shipors were not disturbed. Tlio churches In the city wore well attended by " . " ' . "Strippers. During .he afternoon many people from llio city drove lo llio noomers' camp on Iho Strip line south of hero to sou thu novel sights of a boomer camp. La night a line of prospective settlers hciran to form nt the door of the registration booth which will bo opened for business tomorrow. At midnight lasl night ' _ 'J,10 men had taken places In the line and this evening fully IKK ) inoi'i ) joined their rank. A hig crush 11 expected when thu booth opens for business In the morning , so anxious will each man botosecurohlsi'orliflentoof rcglslralioii . . The booth is simply an army tent lilxlS foot , furniihed with tables and chairs. It would take but very little pushing ami shoving IllE a crowd of a thousand men or moro to wreck it. llomrxrt'Uturf frnm Cnlnriiilii , Hundreds of boomers continue to arrive over the Chicago , Ho.-k Island t PacIIle ! railway. Kiglu hundred came In today by rail , some .VJO muro by prairie schooners and [ about ir > 0 by foot am ! on horsoliack. The number of boomers now coin-regaled here and in the camps on the line aggregate about 8,000 people. Of these about il.MK ) are women and children. From now on the arrivals are expected to fall off , for on previous occasions of this Kind it has been observed that the liomcscoker Is an impailent Individual who comes early to the now country to hem knowledge of details and secure all the ait- vantages possible in his run for a claim.

So well arc iho Chinese planning Iho game that the provisions of Iho exclusion act against the entrance of Celestials are prae'h Ueall.v nullified , for in nine cases out of tun those seeking admittance are able to tiass the ordeal of rigid examinations and invo.Ul- gallons. The crcdnilUMs being seemingly correct , they are admitted. The same results attend every oUier case. The law , It seems , does not go far enough to reach the alleged perjuries of the applicants , nor the Investigations to nrovo them , and the docu ments In the possession of the childlike and bland heathen are unimpeachable to any court In the Intnl. According lo the suspicions of llio men most intimately associated with the Chinese cases , four or flvu important elements enter into the smuggling cases. The most Impor tant of these is a well defined organization of smugglers having headquarters and ngenls in Hong Ivong. Vancouver , B. C. . San Fran cisco , Now Orleans and Now York. The tirincinal purls , however , are Havana and New York , mid Iho other cities are merely forwarding stations. 'Tho other features which make this scheme possible are free masonry of the Chinese , kinship money and a desire to circumvent tlio exclusion law ot the Americans. It is tolho cascsof st'identsnnd ' actors who enter tno country for the lirst time that the greatest Interest attaches. These all como across the continent from the Pacific coast lo New Orleans In bond and thence to Havana. They have undoubtedly received some Instruction on the way , but the finish ing touches to their education are put on at Havana. where they remain some times a month. In Havana they almost Invariably nro domiciled with one Young Sing , and when they reach New- York they nro invariably mot by Yung Luck , his cousin , or LsuFoy , the hitter's partner. These three men hove been freely denounced by the Chinese inspector at this pprt as smugglers.

The latest news received hero today from Ulo Janeiro of the revolt against ( 'resident PeKolo's government confirms the report I sent yesterday. The ratio1 lions squadron which at llrst . Miitomplatcd , sailing out of Iho b.iy and ( iroceedlng down the coast toward Santos , Hoping to carry on a sort of guerilla war faro li.V water along the way. and eventually Join with the Klo Orando do Sol In surgents , changed Its plans , mid still remains sulking before the city. This was duo , as 1 have already re ported , not to any alteration In the chomo of the attack , but tea dread of rminlng the reunllut of the two forts which guard the entrance to the bay of Hlo. This bay Is seventeen miles In loncth and eleven miles in Its ext'-emo width , but its entrance , which is two miles south of the city of Hlo , Is only ono and one- half miles wide. These narrows are guarded on the east by Fort Santa Cm/ and on the west by another fort on Sugar Leif rock. No ( 'lntiici-H of ( ifttliiK Out. The garrisons ol artillery men in these forts are loyal to Piexoto , and have orders to tire upon the rebel shlp3 the moment thov come within range. A strong line of tor pedoes has been laid across the entrance - trance , communicating vith both forts and the guns are loaded and ready to help Ihose submarine terrors blow the insurgents out of the water should they iittompt to put to sea. The revolters are thus hemmed In within the confines ol the big bay , surrounded on all sides by land forces loyal to Pel.soto , and for hick of rein forcements or supplies , the revolt is soon ex pected to end in a llasco like Hear Admiral Wandenkolk's recent attempt. Latest advices recolveii here say the in surgents have attempted to land at various points in the bay. but have every where been repulsed and appear to be disheartened. Admiral Mellos invited the garrison in Santa Cruz to Join the revolt , but met with a linn refusal. SITUATION l.V Itlt.\/ll , . Olllcliil View ot Alfilrs as Hi-portod to tint el.Kiitlnn In Ltiiiiliin. LONDON , Sepl. 10. An ofticial dispatch has been received nt thu Brazilian legation here which seems to throw light upon tlie situa tion of affairs in the disturbed republic. The message referred to says that Hio do Janeiro is in a state of perfect tranquility , alarming reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Tlio itrcols , it Is added , wear Ihcir usual aspect , the theaters are open and matters are rOnning along as usual. The message ados thai the Brazilian gov ernment is strong , has the confidence of the majority of the people and that it is en deavoring to repress and will repress all revolt. Congress has declared the siege , but the government prefers not to bo obliged to carry out the workings of the martial law. 'I here is a signillcant ending to this mes sage , however , and that is that n is ad mitted that the insurgents have attempted to make several landings at various points , Uut they were refused , and , II , is said , appear to bo thoroughly disho-irtened and likely lo surrender at any moment. The insurgent squadron , it appears , is now icld in check by the forls at the entrance of -ho b.iy where the olliccrs in command have inters to lire upon the revolutionary vessels the moment they are sighted. The gunners ire kept at their posts night und day and submarine torpedoes are reported to have jocn placed in thu channels likely to bo fol- owed by the insurgents if an attempt is undo to put to sea and steam for Sanlos with .the Intention of capturing : hat port and joining issues with the nsurgent forces in the revolted districts. \t llrst. it will bo recalled , reports were cabled from Hio do Janeiro that the insur gent Heel had managed to put to sea , fearing u > bombard Klo In the face of the dot-rm- , ined stand taken by the war vessels of the foreign powers now nt anchor In that port , the commanders of the foreign ships having announced thnirdutcrminatiou not to uphold any destruction of properly by the revolting sailors. Finally , it is said that the insurgent sinus are short of unicorn , as only twenty-eight of thu hitler all told have joined the mutineers. Business , the British legation is assured s.I I , continues to bo transacted as If nothing un l- usual had occurred ami the statement ls undo that thu military Is unanimous in support of the government. This jillleial message is regarded as re assuring here , though the fact is not lost sight of ihal it Is an ollleial communication from llio Bra/.llian government and ihcru- fern likely to dupict the situation In thu most favorable colors. On Iho other hand , the message soni ; by United States Minister Thompson , staling that there is danger of a bombarding of Kio do Janeiro , is looked upon as holng llio most trustworthy statement of the state of affairs existing there. The view Mr. Thoini son takes of the situ ation was communicated to the IJra/ilian legation here , hut thu ollleial m charge re fused to make any comment upon it , simply referring the Associated press roproM-nta- tivo lo the ofllcial message received Irom the Bra/.llian government. The action of Sot-rotary Greshnm In hav ing ordered thu United Slates cruiser New ark , nt Norfolk , Va. , to sot mill without de lay for Kio , Is strongly coinmended by Amer icans and others hero who have property In UIo do Janeiro , as the bombardment by the insurgent fleet would assuredly cause con siderable damage to foreign men-bants who have no interest In the international quar rels of Brazil and who would sutler for oilier people's errors , In view of the statement made by the Bra/.illan delegate in Kuropo lo the oiToct that Iho naval revolt was noi inspired by palriollc mothos. Die opinion expressed by naval o Ulcers here Is that the insurgent ships should bo U eaten as pirates and thai if the government of Bra/.ll is unable lo bring Ihu'ii ' lo terms the foreign war ships should bo called upon to restore order. It is thought that this wilt ho done in any casu , if a bombardment of Kin is allomptcd. Il Is reported hero that the Admiralty has sent special Instructions on this subject to thu British admiral on the South Atlantic station , but all Information on the subject is refused by iho Admir.iUx.on'lulals. The ollleial message from Br.i/.ll does not nay that there has been any loss of life dur ing thu repulse of thu landings attempted ' r.v Iho Bra/.llian insurgents ; but 11 Is presumed thai no actual landings were made and thai loss of life , if thcru was any , was not of any greal importance. chnloru in Kuoiiii.
