to build an artificial bulkhead This was
done and the bulkhead was covered wltli
canvas , which greatl ) checked the Intlow ol
water A number of bags of Hour part oi

the passengers and a purse of 61 was sub

Senate's ' Struggle with tlio Tariff Liko'y to

WASHINGTON , Juno 17 Senator Harris
said when the senate adjourned } esterdny
that the tariff bill would pass the senate by
next Saturday , and when Senator Aldrlch ,
thu leader of the opposition to the bill , WTS
asked what he thought of Mr. Harris' pre
diction , ho expressed the opinion that If It
should not be entire ! } realized It would come
near It.
"I think , " he said , "that b } next Satur
day night we shall be near the fag end of
the bill. "
Doth declined to stnto whether there had
been any negotiations for an agreement UN
to the time for the llnal vote between the
leaders on the respective sides of the cham
ber. It Is known , however , that the situa
tion has been canvassed more or less In the
numerous conferences which have taken
place between Senators Cockrell , Harris and
Jones on the democratic side and Senators
Aldrlch and Allison on the republican It
Is also known that they have not agreed
on a time , because of the dllllcull } on the
part of the republicans of determining what
time might be required for speeches b } sen
ators on that side They have , however ,
canvassed the question snlllclentl > to feel
assured that there will be comparatively no
more long speeches
Some republican senators do not exactly
agree with the joint prediction of Senators
Harris nnd Aldilch , and say that while the }
do not consider that the time for the final
passage of the bill Is far distant they think
considerable time will bc required for the
consideration of the Income tax and for
the votes on various features of the bill , as
well as probably some speeches when the
bill shall be reported fiom the committee
of the whole. When It Is considered It Is
prolnble ( bat the Income tax can be dis
posed of it fn less tliau two 57 three (1as at
the most. There Is also a probability that
Senator Lodge's amendment for retnllitlon
upon nngland will be revived bj the silver
republicans , which would have the effect
of at least briefly reopening the silver ques
tion In connection with the1 tariff.
The only tariff schedules which have not
been disposed of arc Silks , which are now
under consideration ; pipers and Mindrles
These , with the free list , the Income tax
and the administrative features of the bill ,
complete the bill 'Ihero Is very little pros
pect of very man } speeches on silks , or
papers , but there arc several articles in the
schedule of sundries and in the free list
which are calculited to develop debate The
wool question will be revived when the free
wool Item shall be reached In the free list
and while the contest will not be so piolongcd
as It was when the question wns taken up
In the wool schedule , It promises to be quite
animated for a short time.
It still seems strongly probable that the
administrative part of the bill will bo with
drawn and the present administrative law-
allowed to stand. Senator Jones suld today
that he favored J.lils course for the purpose
of expediting the passage of the bill and his
judgment will most likely be allowed by
his democratic colleagues to control their
course.

about tlirco weeks ago , when tha

mcnt an attempt might lie undo to explode

doubled their \lgll.iucc , rcklori.il the line of
coininnnleatlon with the nest of anarchists ,
and were able again to shadow ON cry conspir
ator nnd to keep fnllj informed of anarchis
tic movements , both hero and elsewhere.
According to the tory the plot won formed
at llio t'nie ' tinCoey armj was marching to
the cipltol , and reports of Its existence came
from v.iilous polntH , Omalii , Chicago nnd
Plllsbiirg among them.
'Die pi line mo\ei In Hie anarchistic plot
that Is , the Washington end of It was
llonore Jackson. Ho cinie from Chicago
and Is still In the city. lie Is n professional
Indian. In Chicago he has been a disturber
for jcars. At the time of the Haj market
riot ho narrow Ij o ciped being arrested ns a
prlnclpil consi lratrr , nnd was shadowed by
deticthes for n long time. Jackson Is" a
half-bleed of unknown tribal origin. He was
ono of Louis Ho 1's lieutenants In the Cana
dian rebellion EOIIIO jcars ago. The Inform
ant In thu case wis kept In touch with the
conspirator * nnd has ghen the police the
names of those engaged In the plot together
with othei facts. These have been comunl-
cateil to the olllccrb of other cities and they
will piobihl ) net upon the Information.
The fact that the anarchists have to'ii-
mltteil no act in Washington upon which
they hutbec'ii convicted has prevnted
tliclr arrest. Their meetings have loen
small and secret Their experiments v/ith
chemicals have been biich Miat It C3 T
hardly be pro\en they intended to resort to
extreme measures. They have written no
letters. In fact , all along they nave waited
for something to happen something \ihlch
would give them nn oppoitunlty to r.uiy out
their scheme ot violence.
Jackson's headrpiartcrs w is tin1 residence
of a rrcnchman mined Guant T , e * con
spirators met there nnd at other placet. , i.nd
about three weeks ago the meetings became
so frequent and so man } Mrjiige inpii came
nnd went thnt the oJHcers felt they were
losing their grasp of the situation. There
was danger the climax might come
at any tlmo nnd giett nlarm was
felt. The capltol olllcers , Including
the speiker of the house , nnd the
treasury people , Including Secretary Carlisle ,
ftlt very uneasy. The detection of the form
ula for making the explosive which the con
spirators propose to use , sas the article In
conclusion , Is probably the best piece of
wroik done b } the detectives. Se\ernl chem
icals nre used nnd the proportions make high
explosive of a new and most dangerous
kind As soon as the police obtained this
formuli they took it to a well Known chemist
and asked him to make up a sample. Ho did
so In his laboratory and plnced it on a window
sill In the Min. In n few moments there
was an explosion. A great deal of noise did
not accompany the explosion , but there wa
a terrific concussion nnd n most nauseating
and blinding smoke , although the quantity
of the chemical experimented with was very
small , A cat which was In the room died In
a few seconds from the effects of the \apor.
An occasion for the use of the explosive the
