WARRING Bf;.'ZlllflNS.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 25.
THE present week in the senate
promises to be barren in legisht
tiou but fertile in aotion, look
ing to the shaping of tbe policy
of the party in power on the tariff
iineBtion. Three very important mat
ten ar expected to transpire tomorrow,
tbe presentation of the tarilf bill to the
Republican mem hern of the finance
committee, the Democratic caucus with
the mine bill a a basis lor the discus
sion iii which dissatisfied Democrat
are e.xtiected to b most active, and the
renort of the committee on Foreign af
fair on the Hawaiian investigation
For two weeks, Mr. Bland has nu
avuilingly striven to bring a majority
of tbe bonss to th support of bis bill
to coin the seigniorage of the silver
bullion in the treasury, or at least to
induce a majority to vote upon the
question of olosing debate on the meaS'
nre, and thus brlnu it before the house
for disposition Mr. Blitnd says that
the struggle will he kept up until the
bill shall have been vot--1 upon if it
takvs ail summer.
DIUOORAT8 WILL OPPOSE THE BILL.
An impression prevails Shut the ne
CMBBiy and long desired iti irum will
manifest itself tomorrow or Tnesd ly
A prominent member, who ha not
taken an active part in tits controversy
over the bill, but who has voted to
consider it, laid this evening "1 very
much doubt tbat the bill wiiuh passed
even if a quorum be securer! to act
upon If thn Republicans will vote with
the DemocrHtfl Who nr- opposed
to the bill in the present form, it can
be shorn o( Ha most objectionable fost
ureM. The first section can be changed
so as to permit the issue of certificates
BgainSt the ssigniorage only so fast as
it shull be coined. With the pr-sent
mint falJlltnW f.ht wonld amount to
about two millions a month, distribut
ing the issue over a period of nearly
two and a half years And the second
section can be stricken out altogether,
The proposition to incorporate author
ity to issue bonds in th bill will not
be adopted. Willi the changes sng
nested the bill will probably be pssssd,
but not nthrwise."
ELKCTIONj CONTESTS RKADY,
Whenever the bill shall be disposed
of, the election case of O'Neill Vs.

tiict, and of iviglish vs. Ililborn, from

There are are livs of tlmse on the cal

Washington, Feb, 35 President
Clove an ! sailed aw-y from Washington
ibis afternoon at 'A "o o'clock in the
lighthouse tend.-r Violet for a duck
shooting triii along the (forth Carolina
coast. He was accompanie I by Secre
tary Qreaham and Captain Robert D
Evans, the naval secretary of the light
house board Every arrangement had
been made for the trip and the usual
secrecy was observed oonoerning the
intentions of the president.
The snow fall was Intrly blinding
when Mr Cleveland an I Ills com
panions arrived at the wharf. Cap
tain Evans alighted lust, then came
Secretary Grreshau with tbe inevitable
cigar between his teeth, and !at of all
came the president, carrying a Isntner
gnn case under his arm Other suns i..
Cases, and cases of ammunition and
cases of other things bed bueu sent
aboard the little tender yesterday. All
three of the party wore derby hats.
It was very slippery on th upper
deck of the tender, to which the gang
plank ran, as the president found out
the minute his feet touched it He bad
considerable difficulty in proceeding
toward tbe ladder leading to the lower
deck ami ttie entrance to the cibiu A
sailor walked ahead of Mr Cleveland
sweeping away the snow.
Theduskimg season is nearly lit an
.ml but there is said to be good sport
m tlm North Ctrohua soiiu I and rivers
It is the intention of the presidential
party to proceed to North Carolina by
wuy of the Dismal swam), where they
may get a shot at a bear or sum other
lug game.
Tho president's trip has been in con
mplatlon for awoek or more. In
private conversation with friends be
has not heiitated to express openly his
iissniistactton with the present aspect
if affairs in congress and elsewhere,
snd his desire to get away for n time
from Iiis disagreeable environments.
md to ito where no tele.ir.inis could
reach him and no reporters follow him
lie has spoken iu strong terms of the
hick of unity displayed on all import -ant
party questions. The inactivity of
the stuate on the tarilf hill is to iiim a
source of much concern and the ap
parent determination ol the Democrats
f the house to force the coinage of the
silver seigniorage has also given htm
great uneasiness, added to the party
troubles in Now York, the dissatisfac
tion of nn element of the party iu
Illinois over local appointments, was
an OBlooked for complication.
