Forecast of the Proceedings of the Coming Week Fun Ahead Over tho Tariff Bill. Washington, July 1. Unless all the signs of tbe timts fail, this week will se the tariff bill out of the senate and on its way to tbe house, where the struggle is to be renewed pending the filial contest iu conference. The fight is now for hours rather than days. The Democratic managers are making every possible effort to' get tbe bill out of tbe senate bv Tuesday night and failing to accomplish that end they threaten to remain in session on the Fourth of July. 1 here are certain elements thut cause tbe rusjority some feeling of uneasiness over the outcome, among them the at titude of Senator Blancbard, and tbe assertions repeatedly made during the past week by the Populists that be cause or tneir votes neretorore cast in committee of the whole in favor of the bill, it must not be assum ed that they will necessarily vote for it under all conditions on final pass age. A detection or one voie wouiu put the party in charge of the bill in a predicament that would cause serious trouble and anything tending to indi cate weakness iu tho ranks of any of tho forces pledged to tbe support of tbe bill at once becomes a very serious matter. Appropriation bills will not detain the senate long after the tariff is out of the way. Tbe only bill likely to cause any extended debate is tbe pension bill which will form tbe ground work for a number of partisan speeches. The bouse of representatives will bs in waiting more or less till the senate tariff bill is laid before them. Little interest will attuch to the proceedings uutil Chairman Wilson and his associ ates on the ways and means commit tee are put in possession of their changeling and sre asked to decide the question what they are going to do about it. Then the fun will wax fast and furious. One of the measures which may come up U tue uoop.r Din to lax gieenbacks. It is under the control of Mr. Hall, of Missouri. A number of gsntlemen have signified their dsire to speak upon the bill aud it will be an tagonized generally by the K-jpubii-cans. Another, measure to which the mem bers attach no little importance and which may come neiore the house upon tbe reassembling after the Fourth, is the joint resolution provid ing for the eltction of sonators by the people.

FULL OF ELECTRICITY, A Dying FatUnt Bulleved of the Excass Msy Beoovsr. HACKETTSTOWN, July 1. A esse which is -exciting much curiosity in this place is that of Ernest Ward, who, uutil recently, had been employed in the lamp department at Edison's works at East Newark. While thors Ward was shocked by electricity. He was finally stricken down and bad to be removed from the works in an un conscious condition tie was dying, it was supposed, from the effects of the shock he received. His aunt, Miss Annie Booely, said she bsliuved him to bs "full of electric ity," and cuius so the conclusion that if Ward's body could be relieved of the excess be would recover. It was de cided to attuch a ground wire to por tions of Ward's body with a view of entry ing off what electricity was in it A common insulated wire was made bare at the end, Uue end was lightly fastened to a water pipe aud the other end of the wire was attached to a spongo whioh was placed in the pa tients bund. It was noticed that Wurd felt a little better after the operation and nppenred to be semi conscious. The experiment was tried again when Ward became able to talk and was able to distinguish objects around him The physicians now attending tho man say he has a good chance for re covery.

KALS0M1IE FOR An Effort to Cover ths Odium of the lexow Disclosures. SCAPE GOATS WILL BE RELEASED The Proposed Police Investigation Started Solely to Show That the Great Political Organization Is Not Responsible for the Rascalities of the New York Police The Inquiry to Be Closely Watched by the Mem bers of the Lexow Committee. Ni!v York. Jnly 1. T HE senate inveatlgatioii of tho police having tur the time being adjourned, tho investigation of the police by itself is announced becin. Superintendent Byrnes be- ng in chargo of tiio investigation. It is seini-nfficiiiily j-iviii out that the sub- ect will bo takou uu in earnest the wevk after next and that a groat deal of tune between tlwn and Sept. 10. the ate sst for the re-ass,iinblmir ot the Lexw committee, will be devoted to the search. Commissioner Murray objected to the nqniry on the ground that it would end to Interfere with the operations of the senate committee. When he was overruled he introduced a resolutiou. which was adopted, calling upon Dis trict Attorney ro.iows to wxuiimo tho evidence taken by the committee, and f bo deems it sufficient unuiust any meinour or ruumbrs of the police de . i - partmenthu shall present it to the grand jury and ask for indictments. HIO TASK AHI5AD. Tho proposed Investigation will, if honestly conducted, involve a big task, During ine Lioxow inqniry the uamos of nt least sixteen c iptuins Were drag ged in aua smirched wore or less, be sides Inspector Willhms, who caught it sa u,uy, n i; a inspector McL.iugl. in, who was ohurged with corrupt practices by some of the Tenth ward madams. The captains whose names have been mentioned are Strauss, Dev- ery, Dross, bwvenson, Murphy, Doher- ty, Suibert, bchmitsberger, Allaire, Thompson. Reilly, Pnc. Killilea, Uatighey, Moakim and Berghold. That is a sufficiently imposing galaxy In It self, but when to this list is added the names of a score of ward detectives, past and present, who have been hauled over the youla ; of a job lot of aerg-iauts and fifteen or twenty patrolmen, the magnitude of tbe task may be appra eiaitd. Naturally Lawyer Golf and the mem bers of the committee are displeased with the action of the police board and are disposed to doubt its good faith. Thero is a lear that tho police inquiry may harass and intimidate wituesses yet to appear before the senate com mittee. There is also speculation whether the real motive of the new in quiry will be justice or whitewashing. In case that Chairman Lexow and Lawyer Goff decide that the police board is not acting on the level it will be an easy mattor to ruuouvene the committee. A quorum can be obtained inside of ten hours. Chairman Lexow and Senator Robertson come to New York every day, Senator Cautor lives here and Senator Bradley is at the other end of the big bridge. Tammany's attitude, Some curiosity is expressed bs to the attitude ot Tammany in tho matter. Conversations with leaders of the or ganization make clear the fact that they propose to make a desnorate effort to dear the organization of part ot ths odium that , has been attueued to It, They will sosk to show that the system of blackmail und extortion 1b a lstracv from previous Republican aud nuti Tuimuauy combinations aud that the polico during the past two years, when Tammany bus been in practical con trol of the department, bays simply pursued ioriuer practices. As for the criticism that knowing tnese neiarious methods to prevail tue police board bus not made an effort to stamp them out, it is urgod ns a de fense that neVer before hus immunity been offered to witnesses. Iu previous trials, cases nguiust accused officers have fallen to the ground owing to the inability to induce witnesses to testify to susprcted rncts. Besides the com uiiisiouvrs' findings are subject to scru tiny by tho courts, and they have to be extremely careful in dismissing of ficers, us there have been a number ot oases where officers Lave gone to the courts and been reinstated aud r- vJiVdd back salaries. HEAPS WILL BE LOPPED OFF. It is the present intention to show no mercy to imy man against whom case can be made. The exigency is of snob importauco to Tammany that the question of saviug iudivid uals sinks to uotbiDg in face of the paramount in terests of tbe organization. If this is the stand tbe commissioners propose to lane, ana it seems to be the one now absolutely decided upon, mora than one enptaiu and warumau will doff their uniforms for good before the Lexow committee meets in September THE PRESS CLUB'S REGATTA.
