Mkmi'jiib, Tenn., July 22. N AN authorized interview Sena tor Harris Bays: "I had sev eral inUrviews with the presi dent during the pendency of the tariff bill in the senate. 1 have under stood him throughout tho senate's dis cussiou of the bill to prefer a strictly revenue tariff measure, such as I would have preferred myself, when tho bill oaino to the senate the Doinocruts of the finance committee considered it and prepared sundry amendments in the line of reducing rates of taxation, but when we had prepared our amend ments to the bill, we ascertained with absolutely certainty thut neither the bill us it came from the house nor as the nuance committee proposed to amend it, could possibly pass the sen ate. "We, the Democratic members of the committee, set about to ascer tain the ultimatum of the fonr or five Democratic seuators who refused to take the bill as it came from the senate committee and, having learned from those senators tue small est cuuce!!ou wuicu would secure their support ot the bill, uud nlso having i.sceitained that when the concessions were made the bill iu that form would be a vast improvement upon tne AlcKlmey law, we decided th .t, as nl'iiii-tjoilaMe as were tboje concessious, even with them, the peud- iug bill greatly reduced tariff taxation aud that we bad rather accept the bill with all its objectionable features than to perpetuate the McKinley law with its much higher rates aud multiform obnoxious features. ACCEPTED IN CAUCUS. 'The Democrats of tho finanoe com raittee reported these concessions to the Democratic senators in caucus and the reasons why they had been made, all the Democrats being present, except Mills and lroy, and witu tne exception ot Hill, the Democratic senators nnaul mously agreed to make the concessions and pass the bill. The concesiions thus agreed upon were incorporated into the out and la that lorm it passed the sen ate. I had two interviews with the pres ident since these concessions were agreed to and before the passage of the bill and one Interview after the biU had passed and gone to the conference committee of both houses, and my most distinct understanding was that, while the president regretted, oven as I re. fret, the necessity of making suoli con cessions, he thought It wise to puss the bill and so advise .1, inasmuch as it tns terially reductd tiie rates of tariff tax ation imposed by the existing law." WILL FIOIIT IT OUT. Referring to Call -ry and Blacchurd. who are demanding further con cos. sious and threaten to defeat the bill if they lire not granted, Senator Harris said emphatically: ''They have se enrea tncir utmost limit, it they per sist iu their demands they will be the sufferers. While they might delay the final passage of the bill, they cannot defeat it, for m curtain as they nursuo tbis course mat certatn will they jobs their aiiiereuttat sugar bounty alto gother.

The plague, he says, has been known to be present in tbe Yunnan district or Southern China for ul leant fifteen years past, in form generally sporadic, ut times epidemic in muliguant form.

After graduating he went to work in tbe Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western car shops under Captain William Kellow. lie remained in this position for about a year, at the end ot which tune he uccepted a post tion in the Lackawanna Iron and Steul company s store, remaining there to within a few days of bis death. He was a prominent member of the fire department and was biBt known us Chief Madison, having served two terms as bead of the department. this capacity he made au enviable reoord ns a painstaking, bard worker. and during hisadministratlon the work of tbe department was so systematized that its proficiency was placed on a p i with the best paid departments in th country. His interesvun this work Is evidenced by tbe fathat his one great tad was the collecg of fire com pany badges from nil n&r the world Tbls sollection, which itfslndes para phornulia from eveu far off Japan, i tbe best of its kind extant, and is con sidered very valuable. lie was also member of Union lodge of Masons. Mr. Madison was held in the highest esteem by all with whom he came in oontact, and especially was he re. snected by tbe militia and firemen The members of stbe newspaper pro fession always '.found in himj a genial man to approach and be was ever ready to show to them every courtesy within his power, ills death is felt keenly by the newspaper men ns by any other class ot people with whom be was Intimately associated.

It was built in Baltimore by Charles T. Hollo way and is one of the largest pattern. It weighs throe tons whrn in service and has a capacity of 120 gallons. It will certainly bs a great adJition to the fire apparatus of this city. Its ureutest recommendation is that it per mits iustantaueous attack on the fire. There is no connecting or coupling to ie done and the hone does not need to be entirely unreeled to be used. The ylinders are charged by simply turn- ng a lover, which dumps the acid from a chamber surmounting the cylin der into the water aud soda with which the cylinder is kept charged. The two eels of tbe boae are always connected and can be supplied from either or both cylinders at the same or at different times. It is so arranged that while oue cylinder is being used the other can he charged without interfering for an nstant with the sunply of tbe hose. Arrangements are being made to give puuiio exhibition of its workings next Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, near Johnson's breaker. DELEGATES COULD NOT AGREE. Differed on the Kind of an Organi zation That They Wanted to Form. Columbia Delegates Withdrew. The movement to band together the Irish and Cutholio societies of Scranton nto a federation for the betterment of both was brought up at the second meeting lor this purpose at Boston Store ball last night. It was a stormy suasion from start to iinieb, and President J. C, Vaugbn had trying task to direct the delibra none through a peaceable chancel, William Dawson is secretary, but as treasurer nad been elected, William J. Campbell, or the JNorth tad, was chosen. The discussion which was heated aud lusted for some time arose from the report which M. H. Griffin, ohairman of the committee on resolutions, pre sented, ine loiiowing two extracts from the report was tbe cause of all the trouble: Name and Object The organization should be known as tne Lackawanna Council of Irish-American societies, and its object suall be to ameliorate the con. ditiou of its members and promote tbe in terest or our race lu general or patriotic and systematic training, mutual and phys ical, uud to properly celebrate our Aleut' orial Day. Qualification op Members Its mem. bora shall consist of regularly orgauized Irish-American societies and shall be rep resented in this couucll by five representa tives, who shall be stvied conferees, that tlie respective societies may see fit to se lect. The Sous of Columbia Council, No. 3, represented by J. T. White, James T. McCarthy aud P. T. May, made a vigorous protost against the adoption of the resolutions. These delegates said that their society was Catholic in purpose and embraced members ot all nationalities providing tbe member was a Catholic. In their society wore Welshmen, Germans, Hungarians and Polanders. If the word Irish were not eliminated from tbe title set forth in the resolutions many of their members would be forced to resign or else the sociHly could not become a member of the federation. Johu T. Malone, from tho Father Whitty's Temperance soci ety, objected against the word Irish in the title on the same grounds as the Sons of Columbia, stating that theie were several members of the Father Whitty society hot Irish.
