ANKER THE TARIFF jEt --- ;retary Carlisle Suggests a Few Necessary Impfevements. • 0. TO PAY DUTY ON DIAMONDS It. elaele , , et, Itagteg\ V mined Brick esod Susa.e (il., a,.ies to Take t Same litorII•• Washington. Feb. 25. -Secretary Car- lisle has sent to Senator Voorhees. chairman of the committee on finance, a memorandum suggesting changes of the tariff act which are, the secretary says, \designed to make more clear the intention of congress and to lessen the chances of litigation by removing the ambiguity now existing in the various paragraphs enumerated.\ Most of Riese suggestions originated with General Appraiser Sharreta. Among the changes suggested is paragraph (which relates to varnishes. and is so construct- ed as to make it appear that Japan varnish is sometimes known as gold, which is not the case. The correction provide* for their separation, but leaves the duty as fixed in the act at 25 per cent, ad valorem. In the act as it stands there is a misplaced comma be- tween the word spirit and varnishes. which it la proposed to strike out. The change in paragraph -48 adds the *ord \artists\ before \colors - so as to provide a duty of 25 per .cent. ad valorein. In the amendment suggested to - paragraph 76, the word \vitfliled\ is made to read \brick\ not glazed, vitrified, etc., 25 per cent. Lenses, wholly or part, manufactured, are es- pecially excepted from the. operation of paragraph 98, relating to spectacles, isinglass, etc., which pay 40 per cent. ad valorem. Fresh salmon are added to paragraph 210, fixing a duty of one-half cent per pound on fish. Paragraph 217 is changed to read \plume. prunes, figs, raisins, dried grapes and Zante cur. rants.\ Paragraph 218 is made to pro- vide for levying the prescribed duty of 30 per cent. when sweetmeats and fruits are imported, preserved in spirits as well as in sugar, to which the opera- tions of this act are limited. Paragraph 234 is amended SO as to add: \Provide for the collection of duty of 10 perm cent, ad valorem when orchids and other plants are imported • - chiefly for forcing under Walss for flow- eret,\ the word \chiefly\ not appearing In the present net. Paragraph 276, relating to laces, edg- ings, etc., is amended so as to Include embroidered wearing apparel and tex- tile fabrics at 50 per cent ad valorem. Paragraph 328 Is amended so as to In- clude \all\ artificial feathers. Paragraph 401 aniends the free list so as to read, \birds and wild land or wa- ter fowls dead or alive,\ and 431, SO as to not include string for musical in- struments. Paragraph 338 is amended at. as to relieve the present act from possible construction of putting diamonds on the free list. le Paragraph 481 is amended to include in the free list \freah water fish, frozen or packed In ice, and other fresh fish not otherwise herein provided for.\ The finance committee will tomorrow consider these suggestions. SENATE CROWDS ON FULL sA1L Its Closing Dees Marked by Diligent Work and Night Sessions, Washington, Felalle6 -Arrangements for dispensing with the reading of the senate journal and crowding all the usual morning business aside for appro- priation bills today was a surprise to all but a few senators who were in their seats when the order was made. The program was arranged on the democrat- ic side by Senator Cockrell. on the re- publican side by Senator Platt. There were not over 20 senators present. The senate plunged immediately into busi- ness. The sundry civil bill was taken up. The item for the examination of a lot for a new public building at San Francisco was changed to make It man- datory on the secretary of war to have leeq or more army gunners conduct the investigatron. Senator Perkins of Cal- ifornia spoke, incidentally, of the need- lessness of an Investigation by those more versed in politics than in scientific engineering, and desirous of taking it pleasure trip to the coast. An appro- priation of $75.000 for a public building at Annapolis, Md., was stricken out There has been some indirect criticism as to including Annapolis with Chey- enne, noise City and Helena. and Sena- tor Gorman created surprise by his per- sonal request to omit Annapolis. An appropriation of 820.000 for a publh building at Olympia was in a fair way to go into the bill when 'several senators arrived who were not present In the morning hour Senator Vest, chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, warned the senators of the northwest that by loading amend- ments on the bill and appropr titions for Cheyenne, Boise City and Olympia, It would fall. NIGHT SESSIONS HEREAFTER.' There Is no longer any doubt that the senate will hold night sessions regular'', from this time until final adjournment In giving notice of his intention to mov, for an evening session today. Senator Cockrell said he would ask the Renate to sit until 10 or 11 o'clock for the consid- eration of the sundry civil appropria- tion bill and no other bill. 'Tomorrow night is devoted to unobjected bills on the calendar and the remaining nighta to the appropriation bills, until they shall be disposed of LEWISTON'S NEV POSTMASTER Tb. !senate in executive sesnion today confirmed the following nominations William C Cranston of West Virginia to be 'secretary of the United State. le- gation at Brasil; also Feed fellison of In- diana to be United States consul at Be- llow, British Honduras, and Charles 3 Kress to be postmaster at Lewiston Idaho 11 ,,, i 1 N DECIDED Nor To PAS niece...on of the Iterine Sea Award - Resideniss _of Postal Clarks.. soililwelon, Feb 28. -The house In treirerrattee of the whole retsumed eon- sideratiee , tor I hp general deficiency bill The •niesoolnot sit to pay Great Britain $06.000, the a e , ount of the awards made by the Parts I teeing wea tribunal against the United Stets-., precipitated a long debate.

When Secretary Gresham offered Sir Julian 8425,000, the British government, he said, jumped at it like a bass at a fly. He would never vote to carry but the agreement made by Secretary Gresham. McCreary (democrat, Kentucky) fav- ored the appropriation on the ground that the United States must du one of two things, pay it or submit the ques- tiofi of assessment of damages to a com- mission. Mr. Hitt attacked the amend- ment vigorously. Mr. Cannon demanded a roll call or, the amendment and it was lost 122 to 143. The amendment to pity the employes of the house and senate and the In- dividual clerks to members an extra month's salary carried, 143 to 108. Mr. Henderson of North Carolina pre- sented the conference report on the postoffice bill. The only point in dis- pute between the two.houses was the senate amendment to require railway mall clerks hereafter to be armointed to reside at one of the terminals of the routes to which they were assigned. Without action, the house at 5:10 ad- journed until 11 o'clock tomorrow.

He had expected that the examination would take , at least a day, anti was hardly prepared to go into it. He therefore contented him- self with going over the minor matters that he might begin In earliest tomorrow Morning. Tee day Wee an extremely Trams -Ming one, being idled with troubles between he witness and his brother. Ashy, he mid, had proposed all the bloody details of the niurder. Harry explained that h. had leen so !shocked at his brother's de- pravity that he had resolved to sound many other persons to see if they had web wonderful conecicnees. Thum it was that he haul questioned the motorman, hackman, and even f.. B. Stewart, and he dared the state to put Stewart on the \land. Instead ef . having threatened to kill his brother with a knife, Adry, he said, had threatened to rip his entrails out. Ile had threatened to kill his father. and es, devoid of conscience was he that he could kill his father easily and not be troubled about It afterward. Mr. Nye rnade Harry go over his rela- tions with Miss Ging anti had him repeat his wanderings before her murder. The state'!\ attorney kept asking all sorts of questions with a view to laying a founda- tion for the impeachment of the stirred. testimony.

ENDS IN SEVEN DAY Last Week of CongfeSS Means a Continuous Session. THE SENATE IN HOT WATER Max.,, , .. WhIeb Ordlearlly K•gulro a Day's eouside rat Ion Mast Be Rairroeded. Wiushington, Feb. 34. -Tomorrow the house enters upon the last week of its session, and the usual rush which char- acterizes the closing hours of every ses- sion of congress will begin. Under the rules, the last six days of every session are suspension days, and members re- cognized may call up bills and have them acted upon under suspension of the rules. There are 331 public bills on the calendar, 217 of which must be con- sidered In committee of the whole and 114 on the regular calendar. In addi- tion to these, there are over 500 bills on the private calendar. Of course, only a very insignificant percentage of these bills can be passed, but the press for precedence will be terrine and many ex- citing scenes are almost sure to occur. It is quite probable that several night sessions will be held, and it is almost certain that congress will remain in continuous session from Saturday until Alond . py ngxt., on which. .day eongress expires by limitation at !mon, The reg- ular appropriation bills are unusually advanced, so far AA the house is con- cerned, only one -the deficiency, being elements! -upon, and it will go ta the sen- ate tomorrow. The two which are con- sidered dangerous, that is, liable to fall or be vetoed, are the sundry civil and the diplomatic and consular. To the former, the senate committee on finance has reported amendments to 3 per cent. coin bids with a provision requiring the secretary of the treasuty to advertise for bids In case of another bond issue. Ti, the diplomatic and consular, the sen- ate has added amendments for the Ha- waiian cable. If these provisions pre- vail, despite the protest of the house, it Is thought that the president may veto them. The committee on Pacific railroads is preesing for an opportunity to Recut, a vote on the [unclips bill as amended, anti the committee on public buildings is equally Insistent upon its demand for a eitttnee to settle the queetion of a printing office site, which has been hanging fire for several years. It is probable that the committee on rules will give both time during the coming week, in case an opportunity offers. IN THE SENATE, The senate program for the remainder et( the session, which will close at 12 o'clock tomorrow week, Is to follow the sundry bill, consideration of which will be given tomorrow, by the executive and judicial bill, and then to take up the naval bill, and lastly the general de- ficiency appropriation bill. While It is understood that there will probably be spasmodic attempts to get up cther measures of general importance, the best opinion is that none of these will be successful In the cases where there I. objection. It le peresible that Senator Butler will renew hie efforts in behalf of the pooling bill, and that Senator George will also again attempt to re- store the bankruptcy bill to Its position as tinfinlehed business, but it in not In the least probable that the efforts of either will be successful. Senator Faulkner is also hopeful of securing brief conskieration of territorial admis- sion bills, but there Is no longer a pos- sibility of passing the bills. An order has already been made for a night ses- sion Tuesday for the consideration of bills to which there are no objections.

As a result of' a protest issued by the pastors of three of the most prominent churches in that place, Mayor Fagan yesterday lamed orders that the theater be olosed today, thereby practically debarring Colonel Ingersoll from appearing. The mayor's decree occasioned a great deal of com- ment last night, with the result that the matter was reconsidered today. Be- fore noon Corporation Attorney Min - turn and Mayor Fagan called upon Rev. H. T. Beatty, the minister who in at the head of the reform movement in Hoboken, and stated that it was the opinion of the corporation attorney that no steps could be taken by the authori- ties to stop the lecture.

He began his well known lecture without any ref- erenee to the attempt to stop him until he had reached a point in the discourse for which evidently he had been wait- ing, whore he alludes to the ignora - and savagery in the Bible. He broke away from his teXt long enough to say. 11\1'here was enacted a stitute In the state of New Jersey a hundred or so Yeats ago, when most of its inhabit- ant: , were savages, which says that no- body shall ever discuss the Bible except on one side Since then the inhabit- ant', have grown more civilized.
