"Washington-, Muy 21. The senate
will begin tin seventh week of tho dis
cussion of tho tarilf bill to-day by tak
ing up ho metal .'chedule. and thu
prospect is now the entire week will be
devoted to the tariff without attempt
ill",' any business other than that which
ean be done in the llr.st half hour of
the daily sessions, and possibly an oc
casional brief executive session after (i
o'clock for the disposition of uncon
tested nominations.
.Senator Harris yesterday realllrmed
his intention of pressing the bill for
ward us rapidly as it may be possible
to do so. but he said he had no idea of
sin attempt to extend the daily sessions
beyond (1 o'clock as long as the work
should go on satisfactorily, as at pres
ent lie expressed the opinion the re
publican senators who have been op
posing the bill, and sipparently seeking
to delay its passage, had decided tt.
change their policy, and to let the bill
proceed upon its passage after giving
the various items of difference the at
tention demanded by their merits, ami
instanced the fact noticeable on Fri
day and Saturday, that there had been
n decided cessation of long speeches,
.and of roll calls sis well.
Senator Aldrich expresses the oj)inion
the week will be spent on the metal
ami woolen schedules and he says thu
discussion will go on much asitliai
during the past week that the repub
licans will allow some of the items of
the bill to go unchanged, and they will
ask explanations and give their opin
ions of the changes made in others.
lie says many paragraphs of the metal
schedules jire acceptable to the repub
licans, and that, taking the times and
conditions which now prevail into con
sideration, the rates in some instances
nre even more liberal than those of the
JdoKinlcy law.
Tin state bank issue, which has been
gathering strength at caucuses and
conferences ever since congress assem
bled, promises to be fought to :i iinish
in the house during the coming week.
It will bring out si sharp contest on
party as well as economic lines, as thu
state bank plank of the democratic na
tional platform has advanced the ques
tion to ii place of importance second
only to the tariif and silver.
Tho advocate, of state banks have
been restive for weeks to test their
strength. They failed to get !i bill re
ported from the banking committee.
Thereupon a caucus was culled, mid a
resolution passed that the issue should
be made before the house on an amend
ment to the Rrawley bill. This long,
deferred bill, with the state bank
amendment, is now to be brought to :i
vote. The bill is not important in it
self, and its main use is in serving iis a
bank bill to which a state bank amend
ment is germane. -,,
Chairman Springer, 'of Hie banking
committee, and Hcpruucujlti lives Cox,
Culberson, Swnnson and other state
bank advocates, expect to begin the
contest Tuesday or Wednesday on :i
question of consideration. The anti
state bank men are expected to insist
that the Indian appropriation bill lias
equal pritilege, in which case a test
vote will decide the strength of the
state bank men. They are confident of
winning on the vote of consideration,
and Mr. Springer is prepared to open
1 he debate. The main issue, however,
will l)i on conditional or unconditional
repeal of the tax. Mr. jtyanson say.s
unconditional repeal ei.i'jr' certainly

Aside from the banking bill. Repre
sentative Hatch, of Missouri, is hopeful
of taking up the anti-option bill during
the week. Monday is the regular sus
pension day, but it is expected the
legislative bill will hold its place and
be passed. The Indian appropriation
bill is pext on the calendar. '
The most important committee work
of the week will be the reporting from

A WASHINGTON SENSATION.
Kcportcd Attempt to Itrlhe Senator to
Vote Against the TurllT 1U1I.
Washington, May 17. Humors of
the use of money to inlluence action
one way or the other on the tariff bill
have been in circulation here at vari
ous times during the past few months,
but heretofore have been confined
merely to rumors. It was learned
definitely to-day, however, that tho
clerks of Senator Kyle, of South Da
kota, and Huntoii, of Virginia, had re
ceived intimations that a money con
sideration could be secured for tho
votes of their chiefs against the tariiV
bill. Whether the alleged briber had
any authority for his promise is a mat
ter of some doubt.
The intimations came from ji North
Dakota man known as a lobbyist for
several schemes, formerly a member of
congress from the southern states and
identified with the so-called carpetbag
movement.
Tin amount which it is said Senator
Kyle was ottered was 1 1,000. 1,000 to
be retained by the man making nego
tiations as a commission. Mr. MeFar
lane, clerk to Senator Kyle, says tho
matter never went any further than
an intimation. He promptly informed
Senator Kyle. The latter is now in
South Dakota and will return to Wash
ington Saturday.
Senator llunton talked freely to-day
about the attempt made to bribe him.
The matter first came to his attention
about a month ago through a letter
from his son, dated at Warrcnton, Va.,
He immediately laid the matter before
several of his most intimate friends in
the senate, that they might know what
was going on. He never saw the man
who ottered tho bribe; declined to give
the man's name, but said that all the
negotiations, if the proceedings could
be called such, were conducted through
his son. The briber went to Warren
ton early in April carrying a letter of
introduction from a man in Washing
ton whom Mr. llunton did not know
any better than the man lie introduced,
lie professed to want to employ
Mr. llunton us an attorney in a land
case in which he was interested.
After talking for a short time on
this topic, he brought up the tariff
bill to which he was opposed. He said
that tile bill never would pass and that
there was an argument to be brought
against the bill which had not yet been
used, but which would dispose of it
effectually. Asked by Mr. Iluuton's
.mil what the argument was, lie said
he would give it to him if he would
send it to his father. He then proposed
to pay Senator llunton .S'.'.l. 000 for his
opposition to tlie tariif bill, and Mr.
llunton immediately informed his
father of the proposition.
"Did you think the proposition was
made in earnest'." the senator was
asked.
"My son is satisfied that it was, and
furthermore. 1 Jim satisfied that S100.
000 would be paid if it had appeared
that that sum would secure the coveted
vote."
Senator llunton said that the nego
tiator did not say whom lie represented.
"The money," he said, "was not to be
paid until the vote should be cast."
Of the man who had ollVre I the
bribe. Mr. llunton said that he went
to Virginia as a carpetbagger and at
tempted to secure a nomination for
congress, but failing went to South
Carolina, where he was nominated and
sent to congress, serving one term. He
had no objection to giving the name of
tin man except that if there was to be
an inquiry he thought it proper that it
should be first given to the committee
of investigation.
It is understood that Senator Iv'ylo
has a record of the alleged briber's con
versation and proposition. He was ap
proached directly but turned the fel
low over to his private secretary under
instructions to talce full note-, upon all
that he said. Mr. Farlane, Mr. Kyle's
clerk, refused to say anything further
thnut to acknowledge that the offers
weEQghiide and says that when the in
vestigation is had lie will tell all about
it andwill give the name of the man
ottering -the money and what he said.
Thcmaii told him he represented New
York' parties, but whether or not he
gave their names cannot be learned.

Wiu.iAMNi'oitr. l'a., May 21. With
the horrors of the disastrous flood of
ISS'i, which spread death and destruc

back to memory by a sweep of water
that promises to be as great as that of
live years ago, the people of this city
were in a state of panic that turned
the usually quiet Sunday into one of
remarkable excitement. Since Friday
night :i steady and almost continuous
downpour of rain litis been swelling
all the streams, and late last night
numerous cloudbursts along the l'ino

into the river below the city, over
flowed its banks and spread over si con
siderable portion of the city at about
noon yesterday, Hooding many houses
and driving the occupants fro'm their
homes. All of the houses were occu
pied by poor people, and the rise was
so sudden the stitt'erer.s lost much of
their personal property. Four miles of
track- of the ( ilea Allen Lumber Co.
road have been swept si way.
The "boom" tit Lockhaven has
broken and M.'..()0l).0J() feet of logs have
been lost. The Upper Linden boom
also broke at ::!() last evening. It con
tained 10.000.000 feet of logs, and they
have gone down. There are about 1 .()
000.000 feet of logs in the main boom
ami half as many more in the city mill
ponds that may go on a twenty-five

One of the most exciting features of

crib and until that was washed away
at -J o'clock- -in the afternoon the

DUTIES ON SUGAR.
Tar I IT .MuniiKors In the House Will Tul;o o
Aetlon ut Present.
Washington, May l!i.-The tnrifV
managers of the house have determined
to take further steps toward oll'.-etting
the tariff increases in sugar and other
tariff amendments to appropriation
bills. The purpose hail been to amend
the legislative appropriation by a pro
vision making sugar free.
ltcprcscntnlivc Hreckinridge, of Ar
kansas, of the ways and means com
mittee, recently proposed a new reso
lution permitting liiritt' amendments to
appropriation bills. Chairman Saycr.s,
of the appropriation committee,' and
Representative Carey, of Texas, intro
duced similar bills. These variom
rules went to the committee on rules
where they have not been acted on.
Notwithstanding this fact, the legis
lative appropriation bill wtis called up
yesterday, and it will be passed with
out any t a rill' riders.
In deciding on this course the tariff
leaders in the house concluded it would
lie unwise to take any step which
might embarrass the t'nrill' bill as a
whole in the senate. They say. how
ever, that the introduction of the
Hreckinridge rule had the effect of in
fluencing the Louisiana sugar conven
tion to take conservative action. Hav
ing accomplished this much the house
leaders do not think it advisable to
openly recontest on sugar until the
senate gets further along on the bill.
This conclusion applies to sugar du
ties, but not to the bounty. It is said
abolition of the bounty may be done
without :i new rule, as it is the privi
lege of any member to offer a bounty
amendment.

Washing ion, May 17. -Senator Alli
son presided over a conference of re
publican senators at the capitol yester
day, about two-thirds of tlie member
ship being present. It was a continu
ation of the discussion which occurred
at Senator Sherman's house on Monday
night.
Senator Dubois announced his Inten
tion of publicly declaring in favor of
speedy act ion, and when several sena
tors took issue with him lie said his
judgment relative to the ell'eet of the
silver repeal was as good as theirs last
fall, and he intended to follow it.
The conference broke up without any
action being agreed upon, but these
senators, who believe in early action,
seemed to be in such a large majority
that they felt the policy would now bo
to consider the bill with a view of en
gaging in only legitimate discussion of
the various schedules.
Senator Chandler advanced the sug
gestion that the debate would consume
from thirty to sixty days on whatuvei
lines it might be conducted and said as
that was the case tin-re was no neces
sity for resolving upon any particular
course tit present, lie alsoargued that,
there was no question of filibustering
for the republican conference to con
sider, as there were no senators who
desired to engage in filibustering.
