WAMHiNinoN. 1) C. April 30.
THK senate spent nearly seven
hour today In various discus
sions about the tar'ff bill. The
first of them was started by Mr.
Uolcotl (Rep., Calo. ), who demanded
information from the finance commit
tee un to whethr the bill before the
senate w really tha one on which ac
tion was oxptcted to be had. He was
not able to elicit any more definite in
formation than that the fin nice com
mute woiill probably order amend
ments in addition to those already re
ported The tariff bill wss taken np
and Mr Qu.ytRep. Ptt.) moved to lay
it aside and to take up a bill for a
bri Iga arm the Monognhtl river at
Pittsburg The motion ws rejected.
Accordingly the whole Thir l ftogi
ni "tit was called from the.barrnrks at 5
o'clock in the morning, and four com
panie selected for the trip. Major
.lotin P. Patterson was nsuied to tak
charge of the ixpedltion, and c tups
nies A. B, 1 nd (J were s-lect-d to go
with him. After receiving instruction
from Colonel Maion to act with cool
ness and bravery, in four companies
left the fort without demonstration via
the lireat Northern. The number of
men in the fonr c uipniei is '.'ol. It
is attd that Marshal Crouin will or
der two of tie companies to llevil's
L ike, and ue the others wnre i toting
seems most likely.
Mr. Aldrich referred to Mr. VoOfttOM
tatemBt toil Saturday that he (.Mr,
Aldrich) had tittered an untruth m
laying that some NO amendment had
been agreed to iu Conference between
the secretary of tue treasury and some
lteinocratic m-inbar of the finance

the diaeaaoloo started by th other si le
as a pyrolechoieal dt-p'.ay from the

declared In conclusion that the till of
th Senate ought to be ohaiigud ai d
tueu th bill which repoiidd to the
wishes of th majority would pass
promptly.
TUItl'tr.R FtEI'.OK ATTACK.
Mr. Turpi, of Indian, made fierc
attack tien Mr. Aldrich in which h
questioned tbe vrraclty of th latter
lie also uid that the senator from
Rnode Island had an HMMMM dvl
otitnetit of cheek it Ipnod from the

feet. W at than, lie continue. I, would
be thought of hi uccor, a man

tnere was an attempt mad to "call '
bint the other day. A to the aiirocn
inr appendages of the predecessor of
I tie senator from Rhode Island, ttiey
would crape the dome of the capitol.
Tbe only notice wbleh Mr. Aldrich
took of the bitter attack upon him was
a quiet roinirk that he did not up; ..ie
II. at the euatnr from Indiana repn
n tod anybody but biflMolf, and that
under other ctroniiistanc ' and other
tonditiont. that ;etit-r would not hive
