IX C. , July 22. ) \ Some of Mr. Mill's friends on the commit tee of ways and means say that ho acknowl edges that a very formidable opposition is 1 arising in his own district because of the part ho takes in the free wool business. His Blntoment in the closing argument yesterday that money is being sent to his district by northern protectionists is believed by repub licans to be so rabidly absurd that it did not attract any serious attention , though there were many who expressed surprise that ho should adopt the same line of argument as that adopted by Mr. Morrison after his hori zontal measure had receive. ! Its quietus and after ho had been so emphat ically turned down by his consti tuents rA glance ut the congressional directory for the last four years shows that the majorities by which Mr. Mills has been returned have diminished witiiin that time. Ho was elected to the Korty ninth congress by a majority of iii)0. : : ( ) When the returns were counted after tin1 election of lbs > 0 it was discovered that this had been reduced to 5BOO. Mr. Mills evidently reali/es tli.it there may bo u tidal wave even in Texas , and his speech yesterday was doubtless designed to prepare his friends for the news of his de feat in November. It will bo convenient to charge this defeat up to the protectionists , though Mr. Mills does not accuse the re publicans of the north with the responsibility fur the loss of nearly eight thousand votes In two.ycars. Nor can ho plead that the loss can ho aivonntcd for by the fact that the last election was licld in an " .ilT ieur , " for while his vote was hH)0 , ( ) less than in the preceding campaign , the total vote of the dis trict was onli 2l'00 , less than in lv > | , and the vote of his republican npponeiit was 2,000 more than in tin' presidential jeiir. Tills would Indicate the waning popularity of the chairman of the ways and means committee , and at the same time it accounts for the vn- porlngs of Mr. Mills about republicans send ing iiiuiie.to .

Since the vote on the tariff bill yesterday there are various explanations given by the members of the republican caucus committee of the failure of the minority to offer the pro posed substitute. The meeting in Major Mc- Kinloy's room on Friday night lusted until midnight , and when it finally broke up it was lully determined to move to recommit the bill , with Instructions to report a substitute which should abolish the Internal taxes upon Hlcohol used in tlio arts , on smoking and chowlni ! tobacco , and the special stamp tax on dealers ; also a reductionof BO per cent on the sugar duty. Fiom the best information ob tainable , tills motion was not made because fe ut the last moment some of tlio leading re publican senators advised against this course on account of the condition of the preliminary movement in the senate towards tne perfec tion of a bill which is to be the republican measure. measure.nn : MXATK : AND TUP. Tuner. A republican member of the house , who had a long talk with Senator Allison , chair man of the sub-committeo of the finance com mittee having charge of the tariff bill , says that he does not think that Mr. Allison Inis any idea that the senate will do anything with tno Mills bill at this session. The rea son for this belief is given In the following account of a conversation between the two gentlemen. Senator Allison was asked : "How are yo i getting along with the preparation of the senate substitute ) " "It will bo several weeks , " ho replied , "before wo shall bo ready to report to the full committee. " "Will It then bo reported at once to the senate ? " "Oh , no. That will bo but the beginning of the preliminary discussion. No two mem bers of the full committee entertain exactly the same views on the subject. " "How long will it take the full committee to prepare a bill ) " "That is a very dllUcult question to answer ! " "Will it bo ready by the 1st of Septem ber ) " "Hardly. " "Will the senate get it by the middle of September ( " " 1 don't think so. " "How long will the discussion last when It comes up In the sonutol" 'I guess that every senator will want to bo heard in the discussion. " "Tlum there is not much prospect of an adjournment by the middle of September ! " "Would you think so !

[ Cni/rlr'it ; | ; ' ISf&liu James ( button lltnnett. ] LONDON- , July 21. [ Now York Her ald Cable Special to Tin : HDI : . ] The cor respondent of the Standard , evidently a government official , In writing about the naval maneuvers says , as regards the work of the umpires , that it will bo necessary to bear in mind what is assumed in regard to the olTcnslvu and defensive agencies involved. No gun Is to be fired until the ships are with in four thousand yards by day or two thou- md yards by night , and no ship is to np- roach within one thousand yards of the ncmy's ship. Should , however , one squad- on prove to bo incontestably superior , mi- icrieally , to the other , then , if the stronger orcoean maintain its position within three lilcs of the enemy for two hours this will jo considered as evidence of the blllty of n superior force in an ac- 1011 , ami to have gained the advantage i the engagement. Ships of superior force nust , however , during the whole of this po- iod be , in the opinion of the umpire , sufll- iently well in hand to afford one another iiutunl support. If two Ironclads can sue- iced In getting within a distance of not more ban ! i,0iO yards from a single ironclad and such position for two hours , then ho single ironclad is to be considered to bo ut out of the action. The same rule is to btain In the cast ) of a single ironclad cn- aging a single protected vessel ; also In hat of a single Ironclad engaging an unpro cctod vessel , but in these cases the time is o be reduced to one hour. If two protected , 'ossols attack one protected vessel , or two nprotected vessels attack one unprotected I'essol under the foregoing conditions , the ingle vessel will bo put out of the ae- lon. If an armor-clad or protected essel can approach an enemy's vessel at nchor in an unfortified part within n Us ance of 2,000 yards , day or night , the vessel ,0 , caught at anchor is to be considered to iiavo been rammed'and put out of action , n actions between ships , guns are only to bo ircd when within the effective range at .vliich the Uro is to be commenced , viz : four housaml yards. Touching the most interesting operations , vith torpedo boats , the following rules must bo observed by the belligerents : Torpedo boats will each bo provided with two tor- oos , lilted witli safety heads , which are o bo fired when the boat has attained a po- itlou within 500 yards of tlio enemy's ship ml not at a greater distance. If it is certain hat the ship so attacked has been lilt n the hull before the boat is put 3Ut of action , then the ship is considered out ) f action. Eich torpedo boat is to bo al- .owod to lire one torpedo at a time , and , hav- ng fired this one , is to bo considered out of .ction until she has either picked It up or has jeen supplied with another from ho depot esscl. A single torpedo boat , attacking , , vlll be put out of action when she has been under continuous lire for three minutes iVithin a distance of 2,000 yards. If several orpcdo boats are acting together half a iiinuto is to bo allowed for each additional boat , all the boats being put out of action to gether. Torpedo boats are to bo considered is acting together when they are under lire ut the same time. If , after one boat s seen , and before she has boon 'or throe minutes under flro , more boats re seen and ilrcd upon , the time that the ilrst boat is under fire is prolonged on the ; round that attention was diverted from her. f the other boats are more than half a mln- .ito per boat behind her they properly lose line as a penalty for attacking in straggling irder , and when everybody has been put on ho alert b.v the attack ou the llrst boat. When attacking n merchant vessel rules uro observed that will make the time con sumed correspond to the quickest time that would bo needed to board and examine such vessel in time of war and put a pruo crow on lierorsend her to the bottom. This is as sumed to bo ono hour and a half. The greatest secrecy is enforced as to the hnractcr of obstructions that nro about to be ) laced at cither end of Hcorhavon , to protect : ho squadron under Admiral Tryon from the designs of the Hritish , and this relates particularly to its whereabouts. The plan of the campaign lies before mo and it seems hard that I must withhold it , but I am promised a swing at the yard-arm if a line appears in the Standard that can benefit the enemy. Sufllco it to say , that this division means to construct an effective boom with the various corollary obstructions at either approach to Ucorhavcn , and that when the enemy's fleet appears they will meet with a surprise as complete as It will bo dis agreeable. Nearly all the details for the defense of Hccrhavon nro complete. Admiral Tryon this morning inspected the novel inliio and the boom , about which secrecy is enjoined. One will not know its value until torpedo boats attempt to go over , under or through it. The shore batteries protect the ends of the lines and the blue Jackets are enjoying the novelty of camp life on shore. Torpedo boat No. 4 has Imnlod np alongside of the flag ship Hercules to repilr the damn jo sustained on the trip from 1'ort- land , and will soon bo ready for work. All hands are kept cioso to the ship , much to the disappointment of the people on shore , who looked for lucrative customers for their Jaunt ing cars ana mountain dew. On board the Agincourt , July 21. The bay selected is admirably suited for this purpose. The stjualrou en gaged in guarding the Clyde traffic is pro , tectcd by Holy Island. There is capital anchorage for a largo number of vessels , with shelter against the winds , ami the two passages , ono at each end of the Island , can without great difficulty bo defended fended by booms , mines and other material which Iho men ol the lleul arc cxercihcd in using. Outside , also , both la the north ami south , small buys and nooks cxUt easy o I access and affording concealment for scquu and torpedo boats. Naturally in the circum stances attending the coming r.lTniy spie < may have to be provided against , and II would piMUably be ttirticult to find a place less likely than Lunl wn to harbor any one belonging to the enemy's ships for this llttlo place couli scnrci'Jy have n stronger in It wittiout th < fact bcioiulng kimwn tri every ono in the place. The u'avnl oftlc-era wjw attempted U learn Admiral llowley's plans by coiidng LamUbh would assuredly bo uotivtcd a once , It. after the war is declared , the qn cmy should wish to find out anything about our movements , it will very much surprise me if ho gets the Intelligence from this port , either by open rcconnoitcrlng or stealth. As to our future movements nothing yet has been revealed , and Use feeling in the squadron is bitter on this subject , as It is ar gued that the admlrality can hardly expect officers or men to take an Intelligent interest in the maneuvers if their scope or general scheme is concealed. There Is n laudable de sire among the officers to learn the rules and regulations under which the lighting will take place. The hetcroiwiious nature of the squadrons and the different values which the ships bear , owing to their speed and armament , certainly call for some clear and definite instructions on this subject. As yet , however , even these are supposed to bo secret. The remaining vessels of the squadron joined to-day and by to-morrow night all will have completed coaling. On Hoard the Uodncy , Lough Swilly , North Donegal , Ireland , July 21.

Mr. Lowe was also present at the review at Long Champs. I nskod Mr. Lowe what was his impression of the French chamber as compared with the German rclchstiig. He said the French chamber was distinguished by impersonation and individ ual liberty ; that if such tumultuous scenes occurred in the German reichstag the au thorities would consider the propriety of summoning a battalion of infantry to clear the house at the point of the bayonet. "I par ticularly noticed M. Floquot. His head is most strikingly liUo that of Richard Wag ner , " added Mr. Lowo. "What do you think of the French army ! " "Tho artillery is excellent , but the infan try Is decidedly inferior in physique and bearing to the same body in Germany. They especially seemed less capable of long marches than the Germans. The cavalry is the weakest point. The horses are good , but the men arc wretched. They lack the power of keeping horses thoroughly in hand as the German cavalrymen do. For instance , when they passed the Tribune at what ought to bo u uniform trot , many of the troopers were cantering or paeingliko civilians. " ' 'How are the ofllccrs compared with the Germans i" "They are decidedly shorter and rather more lleshy than the Germans.
