NO COMISE YEI And None in Sight in the Tariff Deadlock. WASHINGTON, July2s.—One of the most entertaining and remarkable features in the present great national performance on the floor of the senate was the part played in it by Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) as the defender of President Cleveland against the assaults of democratic senators in con nection with the president's now fang, us j letter to Mr. Wilson, the chairman of he house conferees on the tariff bill. Mr. Ilill took the ground that the letter being unofficial was no violution of the constitution; that it was no attack upon the senate, or upon any senator, but that ' it was an honest effort to carry out the policy and theories of the democratic ! party, and to advance the interests of the people. As to its being nil unwarranted j attempt to interfere with pending legisla- ' tion, Mr. Hill asserted that the blauie lay with those senators who, instead of acting on their own judgment and resposibility, | "badgered" the president to give them his I views upon the compromise bill which , they had prepared. lie wound up a two hours' speech (brist ling all over with the spikes and spears of wit and sarcasm) by comparing the senatorial conspiracy against President Cleveland to that which compassed the I assassination of Julius C'tosar. In this , historical parallel Senator Gorman, of j Maryland stood for the "lean and hungry ! Cassius," of whom Ciesar said: "He thinks | too much; such men are dangerous;" Sen- | ator Jones, of fArkansas, for "Honest | Brutus;" Senator Vest, of Missouri, for i the "envious Casca;" Senator Voorhees j for Trebonious; and 4 'the distinguished sen ator from Tennessee,'' Mr. Harris, for ! China. He carried out the parallel by de- I daring that these senators made the same plea which the conspirators of old made— i "not that tliey loved Ciesar less, but that they loved Rome more"—"not that they i loved Cleveland less, but that they loved I their party and the country more." Mr. Hill was followed by Senator Caf- ! fer, of Louisiana, who submitted a motion j looking to the restoration in the sugar | schedule of a bounty for 1894. In a short ! speech (which was however not concluded) ! lie accused the democratic managers of bad faith in striking out the sugar bounty and declared explicitly for himself and his colleague (Mr. Blanchard) that they would | not vote for the tariff bill if it put sugar on the free list. Democratic Caucus. A few minutes after the senate ad- j journed the democratic senators went into ' caucus for the purpose of formulating a I programme in regard to the disposal of the j tariff bill For three hours the discussion continued, and at that time, without hav- j ing reached any conclusion, an adjourn- I ment was taken until today at the same hour. Three members of the democratic party | were conspicuous by their absence from ! ill is conference. These men were Senators j Hill, Murphy and Irby, two of whom are I said to be ready to vote against the bill ' in certain emergencies, undone, Mr. Hill, 1 who has time and again declared his op- ' position to the bill HO long as the income i tax remains a part of it. Every other sen- j ator now in the city was present, except | Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Daniels, but their absence was due to illness. Hill Declined to Attend. A Mr. Hill was not notified officially of i the caucus until a few minutes before I the adjournment of the senate. He was then notified in the cloakroom by Mr. Gorman and requested to be present. Mr. Hill frankly told the chairman of the cau cus that inasmuch as ho was opposed to the bill, and would do all he could to de feat it so long as the party saw lit to keep the income tax in it, lie did not believe ho (.light to participate in a conference that iiad for its object the passage of the meas ure and the settlement of party quar rels. The caucus discussion partook of the na ture of conversation more than of speech making, although there were some very pertinent and emphatic observations in dulged in. Soon after the caucus convened Mr. Jarvis, of North Carolina, offered a resolu tion that the bill bo sent back to confer ence without instructions of any sort to the conferees, and upon that resolution all of the discussion was based. Insist on the Senate Hill. The conservatives, so-called, the men who formulated the present bill, 4i I none of the talking, but one of the senators said after the caucus was over that those who did talk—and there were few who did not -wereas zealous in their advocacy of the HOl.ate bill as any member of the conserva tives could be and insisted as strenuously that the senate bill should prevail, Almost all of the debate and cross-fire between senators was directed at Mr. Vilas in an effort to induce him to with draw his motion to strike out the differen tial on refined sugar. Mr. Vilas did not indicate to the caucus just what ho would do in this connection, but made a plea for the administration, saying that in view of the strong letter the president had written there should bo some sort of concession on the part of the senate and he believed the concession should be, among other things, on ti.otitgar schedule. House ol' Representatives. Tl.e committee on rules gave the day's session to the committee on public lands and in two und n half hours Mr. Mcltae (dem., Ark.), chairman, succeeded in hav ing passed fourteen bills reported from his committee. Two of these were of particu lar importance, one providing for a settle ment of the claims by and aguinst the state of Arkansas and the United States, and the other providing for the separation of the mineral lands in the Northern Pa cific grant in Idaho anil Montana and granting patents to the settlers thereon. The bill which came over from Saturday and Monday as unfinished business was passed, directing the re-employ ment as fast as vacancies occur of the railway pos til cb rks who were discharged between March 15 and May 1, 1889. An hour of the session was spent in an unavailing effort to consider the bill di recting the payment to West Virginia of the amount of direct tax collected from it, irrespective of claims by the federal gov ernment against the state.

POLITICAL PICKUPS. Several Hazleton Republicans are in dustriously at work grooming a dark horse for the Republican legislative nomination. Why any opposition to Jeffrey should be made in that city is not stated, but there is a quiet canvass going on for delegates all the same. McNelis is unconcerned as to who they nominate, and with a united party be hind him expects to come under the wire several lengths ahead. Luzerne Democrats would like to know if there is going to be a county con vention held this year. Perhaps the country seat machine considers it un necessary, and if nominations are to he run off as they were last year a con vention would not be reqiured. The only contest of note among the Democrats is between Lee Stanton, can didate for nomination for clerk of the courts, and P. A. O'Boyle, who would like to be nominated for district attor ney. Both want the other kept off the ticket, as both are from the Pittston section. John H. Rice, who was chairman of the railroaders' strike committee during tlie late trouble with the Lehigh Valley, will lie the Democratic nominee for the legislature in the first district, the city of Wilkos-Barre. Mr. ltice Ims always been an active Democrat, and is popular with all classes of voters. Gurinun Has Withdrawn. From the Wilkes-Barrc Record. District Attorney Garman announced on Saturday that lie had decided to withdraw as a candidate for orphans' 1 court judge on the Democratic ticket, as lie desired to engage in business at the expiration of his term as district attorney. This leaves the Democratic field open for .Ttidge Rhone unless some other ambitious Democrat steps into Mr. German's place. And now the i/uestion arises, is there nothing else behind Mr. Garman's with drawal? Little Willy's Epitaph. Hines' chances must have looked de cidedly blue on Sunday night around the AV mdealcr office, for when the only newspaper friend the little office seller lias in the county drops into poetry to bid him good-bye you can count him a dead bird, llere is the epitaph Sam Boyd published on Monday last: Thou'll (to back no more Little Willy, Every moment, every hour your chanoe departs You will full, alas, like the many. That have bloomed and faded in these parts. We shall never more behold thee. Hear your small and piping voice again, When election time comes, gentle Willy, And the ballots all are cast against your name. An Independent Candidate. Joseph Ilendler a prominent and in lliiential German Republican, of Wilkes i Barre, threatens to run independent j for congress if Morgan B. Williams is j nominated. In such a case Williams ; would lose a large number of his party | votes. But this is not likely to occur, \ from all accounts, as Leisenring appears ; to be again on top in the race for the nomination. It is conceded in Republi i can circles that tlie nominee should be ! from the lower end, and this, with the | prestige and popularity of tlie Upper Lehigh candidate, makes Leisenring's chances very good at tlie convention to be held a week from next Tuesday. Uniting the Two llranches. A movement of much importance to members of the A. O. H. societies of this county showed its first result last night in Ilazieton. The organization | for ten years lias been divided all | through tlie country, and the two I branches were known as tlie Board of Erin and the Board of America. In J every town of prominence in this coun ty there is a division of each branch, and ellorts have been made on several occasions to unito them. At Hazleton last night Division 10, of the B. of K., took its first step in the matter by dis banding as a division of tlie Board of | Erin, and County President E. V. Curry, j of tlie Board of America, immediately reorganized it as Division !">, of tlie other board. | This was tlie first step toward practical unity in this county, and was brought about by tlie work of President James M. Boyle, of No. 5, and President P. M. j Sweeney, of No. 10. It is expected that ■several divisions of tlie 1!. of E. will transfer their allegiances to tlie Ameri can Board in Luxerne county within the next few months. In Michigan, Wis consin, New Jersey and Massachusetts tlie Board of Erin members have gone over in a body, as in Hazleton, and this will be continued until but one A. 0. 11. society exists in tlie country. The order is a beneficial one, paying sick and deatli benefits, but its principle object is to support and protect American institutions, to defend tlie Catholic | Church from assaults engendered by bigotry and prejudice, and to aid < atliolic citizens of Irisli birth or descent in maintaining the civil and religious liberties which the laws grant them. There is nothing of a political nature about tlie order. In Freeiand there is a division of each branch, and it is prob able they will be united, by the plan in augurated at Hazleton, before long.
