SENATE ADOPTS THE CON FERENCE REPORT. FORTY FOR—30 AGAINST. Tb* Final Vote Taken Sharp oa tba Boar Fixed by Mutual Agreement of the Membera—The Closing Speeches Warm — Allen Attacks the Bill and Answers Sea* ator Forakor. Washington; July 28 —When the Senate met at 10 o'clock this morning1 under the unanimous agreement of last night that a vote be taken at 3 o’clock to-day, only eleven senators were on hand and 'several of these busied themselves with clearing out their desks and preparing for depart ure. There was no prayer, as this was a recess session. Immediately after the vice president had called the Senate to order, Mr. Chandler moved an executive session. He yielded, however, to Mr. Bate of Tennessee, who desired to have a day set for eulogies on his late colleague, Mr. Harris January 13 next was agreed upon, and at 10:0 * o'clock the Senate went into executive session, during which the following confirma tions were made: Postmasters in Mis souri, P. C. Van Matrc at Warrens burg, F. a Jones at Sarcoxie, H. H. Mitchell at Clinton, .1. M. Cox at Ad rian and J. M. Wright at Richmond; postmaster in Kansas, S. O. Wells at Erie. When the doors were opened Mr. Allen of Nebraska resumed his speech in opposition to the tariff conference report and the bill in general. He criticised the effeots of the bill on the farmers and instanced barbed wire, required by them for fences, on which they were placed, by the bill at the mercy of the barbed wire trust. How different it was in the case of the moneyed aristocracy. It was all right, the senator said ironically, for the “sharks and money gamblers of Wall street” to make 132,000,000 out of the sugar sohedule since the Dingley bill was first reported. It was all right for Pierpont Morgan to make 827,000, 000 out of the government bonds ille gally Issued under the administration of President Cleveland. Farmers ought to understand that the legisla tion of Russia was as beneficial to them as the legislation of Congress. As a sequel to Mr. Allen’s heated personal colloquy with Mr. Foraker over the alleged fraud Bince the last election, the Nebraska senator pre sented tables comparing the vote cast for McKinley, Ilryan, Harrison and Cleveland. One column showed “fraudulent excess” that of Ohio be ing stated at 94, .’>00. In closing, Mr. Allen announced his purpose to with hold his vote on the question of agree ing to tho report. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana followed in a criticism of the sugar schedule. He stated that ships from all parts of tho world were hurrvin? in with cargoes of raw sugar to avoid the duties of the MIL Already eigut months’ supply had been brought in. th is cutting off government revenue to that extent and giving enormous profits to the trust. - Mr. Gear questioned these figures, saying only four months’ supply of raw sugar had been brought in. Mr. Burrows of Mlohigan, a member of the finance committee, then took the floor for one of the few speeches from the opposition side. He said he was induced to enter the debate be cause of assaults made upon the lum ber schedule, an industry, in twenty two states, with an aggregate cap ital ot 8730,000,000, employing 000,000 people, and paying 8130,000,000 in wages annually. The rates on lumber were the lowest of any In the bill, being about IS to 18 per eent ad val orem, and only 1 per cent on white pine. He referred to his visits to the Michigan lumber sections, where he said mills were idle and men out of work, when the Canadian mills and workmen were thriving. Sharp at 3 o'clock the final roll call on the passage of the bill as reported by the conference committee began, while the floor and galleries were crowded. The voting did not consume much time. Great applause followed the an nouncement by the Vice President that the report had been adopted by the vote of 40 to SO. FINAL VOTE IN DETAIL. The vote in detail was as follows: Yeas—Aldrich.

There were several other shipments of gold in sacks, some of which was shipped direct from Juneau, and advices from that place are to the effect that at least 9750,000 worth of dust was awaiting shipment at various Alaskan stations. Among the sensational advices re ceived was one from St. Michael’s to the effect that over $4,000,000 in gold which had not been included with the fortunes brought here by miners, wilL be shipped through Wells, Fargo A Co., other lucky minershaving reached the island since the departure of the Excelsior and Portland who linve se cured greater fortunes individually than those whose stories Jiave already been told. Although the capacity of the steamer Portland, which sails to-day for St. Michael’s, and the Excelsior, which sails on the 28th, is limited to about 110 passengers, over 1,000 applications have been made for berths. Most of the disappointed ones are making ar rangements to travel hence to Tacoma by rail, and secure passage on the Mexico and Topeka, which sail thence next week, but many must inevitably wait uDtil next spring, and their dis appointment is sore.
