WASHINGTON , D. C. , Sept. 11. )
A delmto occurred In the scnato this afternoon -
noon between Senator Vest on the one sldo
UTK ] Senators Allison nnd Slienimn on the
other , which revealed the fact that the demo
crats nro very anxious to liavo the republi
cans report their tariff bill Immediately.
In reply to the assertion by Senator Vest
that the republicans did not Intend to report
a turilT bill before the November olcction ,
Mr Sherman stated thnt the republicans
proposed to not only report n bill , but pass It.
They do not propose , however , ho said , to bo
bullied or blustered into laying their mcns-
uro before the senate until they liavo given u
full hearing to the Industries which the bill
will most directly iiffect , nnd until such n bill
Is completed as will best foster American In
dustries and American labors nnd as
will pass the senate. Ho gnvo notice
that if the democrats proposed to either
force the republicans to report their bill be
fore they nro ready , or wait until the sonnto
takes the initiative in the matter of adjourn
ment thu democrats will bo sorely disap
pointed.
Senator Allison , who is at the head of the
Bub-committoo preparing the tariff bill ,
scored the Mills bill and the party behind it.
Ho agreed with Senator Sherman that the
bill was an abortive piece of legislation , and
would ruin our manufacturing and industrial
Interests. Ho said the republicans proposed
keeping right along in their worn of prepar
ing n bill till they hnvo ono which will bo
perfection In comparison with the Mills bill ,
nnil that they do not propose to submit to an
adjournment of congress till they are ready
to report the bill they have now nearly com
pleted. Ho reminded the democrats that the
condition of the Jlnnucos did not demand
reckless tariff legislation , sucli as the Mills
bill proposes.
In an interview to-night Senator Ili&cock ,
who is a member of the committee on finance ,
Bald that the debate to-day only gave evi
dence of the fact Hint the republicans were
determined to iiiuku a good bill , and keep at
work upon it till it meets the approval of the
largest number of people interested and
until It meets the unanimous approval of the
republican senators. He said that this
might require two more weeks of work' and
It may require four moro months. Ho added
that the republicans were very anxious to
make a strong and Judicious hill nnd that , as
Senator Allisons stated to-day , it would bo
laid before the public the day it was com
pleted. Its is believed that the democrats in
caucus next Tuesday night will agrco to an
adjournment , Hint ttio senate will approve it
nnd that congress will not be in session moro
than from two to three weeks.

BNUMttll INTIillKST IX Ct.r.VIII.ANn'S ELUCT1ON.
A gentleman who has Just arrived hero
from n tour through Europe gives his obser
vations as to the English interest in the
success of President Cleveland us follows :
" 1 liavo no doubt that thcro will bo
a million dollars sent out of London nlonu to
bo used in the democratic campaign. The
English nro extremely anxious for the suc
cess of President Cleveland. They say that
his re-election moans not only the success of
the Mills tariff bill but other sweeping re
ductions of the tariff duties. I went Into
Lombard stirot a few dnvs before I loft to
have some clothes miulo. The tailor was u
briglit young native mid ran n largo estab
lishment. While I was ordering some suits
lor $10 , which cost $ .V ) in Washington , I made
the observation to the tailor that ho must
feel considerably interested in the impending
campaign In the United States , to which lie
replied that ho was indeed anxious for the
ro-eicction of Cleveland : that Englishmen
considered the success of Cleveland as ono
of ( ircat Hritain's most Important com
mercial affairs. Ho told mo that ho had no
diuibt that if Cleveland was ro-clccted that
thorn would bo practically frco trade between -
twoen the two countries within four years.
Ho said that It would bo of immense benefit
to his business , and that ho was willing to Uo
everything ho could to secure the success of
the democratic ticket. After I secured the
elotht's I wanted the tnllar suggested that 1
should let him take my measure for perma
nent orders , saying as ho" did so , that 1m
would gunranteo to deliver my suits of cloth
ing nt any phico in the United States at to
per cunt lower prices than can bo obtained.
Ho added that iio would make the prices tome
mo for export lower than if the goods were
to bo delivered in London , and that ho would
secure nn undervaluation through an
American consul , vhlch , together with the
reduced price on account of export , would
fully pay the express nnd custom charges.
Of course 1 loft my order.
"It Is a stnngo thing to mo , " continued
this gontlomnn , "how a tariff for the pro
tection of homo industries if not cftlcnclous ,
us the democrats say it is not , can work
such changes In the prices paid for labor in
Kuropo. While in Berlin I ordered some
clothing of n tailor on Leipslger strasso.
1 paid eighty-eight murks ( $22) ) for a suit of
black Cheviot. His price was ninety marks ,
nnd while I was Mowuifr1 the tailor down , I
suggested to him thnt ho charged much moro
for a suit than was paid In London , which
was but n few hundred miles away across
the channel. The Uorlincr replied thnt it
was true I could get the same suit in London
for sixteen marks less , but the London tailor
inodo the greatest pro lit. Ho ex
plained that In Derlln tailors were paid
30 per cent moro wattes than the
tailors In London receive. Ho said that was
duo to the fact Hint the industries in Ger
many were protected by a heavy duty on Im
ported goods , while everything imported waa
frco in England. I ordered a pair of panta
loons In London for which I paid ITshil'lngs ,
or $4.23. The goods wcro excellent , nnd the
wo-k was as good as the average in the
United States. When I paid for the panta
loons I Inquired of the tailor how much ha
mid the person who made up the goods and
ho replied 'two ten,1 which meant 13 shillings
10 i > cnco. TliU in American money is 7U
cents. Yesterday I was in a fashionable
tailoring establishment In thlseity nnd while
ordering another suit of clothes the tailor
looked nt the pantaloons I urn wearing nnil
malted mo u'hnro I got thorn. Heforo reply *
ing I uskod him if ho did not sell the same
leeds and ho said thnt ho did. Then I asked
him how much ho charged for them. He
o.ild that his regular prlco was SlIl.M ) . I thru
told him that I gave Just $4.35 for them in
London. Instantly ' .ho Washlngto , tulloi
said that he paid $3.73 to his men to in alto u-
pantaloons of the most ordinary kind. Till :
was $1.5i ) moro than the London goods cos'
wade up. "

Hynajjojjiic.
Yom Kippur , 5019 , the day of atonement
'or the Hebrew faith , commenced at sunj
lown last evening. At 7 o'clock the .lowlsh
nynnuoguo on Il.irnoy street was thronged
with the faithful. Hnhbi Benson entered the
synagogue clad in the vestments of his fnlth.
The long black robe , signifying his ofllco ,
the white scarf , called "lalith , " the emblem
of purity , and the mitre , the headdress of the
Jewish priest from time immemorial , wim
Ills dress. Upon his entrance the congrega
tion , numbering some four huirlred people ,
arose and were blessed. A prelude by , tha
choir , nnd the priest delivered prayers , both
in Hebrew and English , interspersed with
responses by the choir.
The most important of religious holidays
observed by the Hebrew people Is the day of
atonement , wlfich is connected with histori
cal and traditional observances. Even
in this day of materialism , there )
Is not a Hebrew who would ]
deliberately violate the observance of tno
day , and with a limited exception , every
business house conducted by a Hebrew will
bo closed.
When the services opened last evening
there were present on the rostrum with the
rabbi , the president of the organization ,
Meyer llcllman , nnd the vice president , Sam
uel Ifntz. Near the nrk sat the vcnornblo
M. Kellnor , who will participate In the ser
vices to-day. Behind the altar was the ark.
In front of which hung n crimson plush cur
tain on which wns embroidered , with emb
loins , and an inscription in Hebrew , "In
memory of our dear parents.
Dr. Benson stated to a Bus reporter that
of all the faiths represented In Omaha , nona
porpetunted the memory of dead parents aa
did the Jewish faith. When the father or
mother of n Jew dies , ho lirst mourns his
loss by remaining In retirement for seven
days , nnd for thirty dnya keeps a light burn
ing perpetually in his homo. For a year aftar
thu interment of his parent ho must appear
at every religious service at the syna
gogue , nnd say a benediction , nnd
as long as ho lives , upon tha
anniversary of the burinl of his parent ho
must appear nt the bynagoguo nnd offer u
prayer. This is the chief feature of the
atonement dny in the Jewish synnu'oguo.
During the atonement dny services every
person who has sustained the loss of a pa
rent is culled up und special prayer is said
for the departed. Tills solemn service will
take place to-day between the hours ol 13
and 2 p , in. , and none but these who have
been bereaved nro allowed to remain in the
edifice.
After the services had opened last evening
and the prayers and anthems had been sung ,
the choir sang the Kol NIdra. or "Oh , Day of
God , " a most solemn und beautiful hymn.
The music of this hymn Is traditional , and
wns sung thousands of years ago In Solo
mon's tumplo in Jerusalem. The choir
which rendered this and other ancient
oriental music superbly , Is composed of
Messrs. Pcnnell and Wllkins , Mrs. Cottou
and Miss Pennell.
Kabbi Huison gave ns the text
for his evening lecture , I. Kings ,
HI and V , "What shall I give theo. " Ho
spoke extemporaneously , nnd cltod the case
of Solomon , who when tempted with power ,
riches and fame , ehoso only wisdom. Klchos ,
ho said , brought oftentimes more misery
than they conferred. Ho had known of the
miser grasping for wealth , surrounded by
moro misery than poverty could bestow.
Power , which was the outcome of wealth
und influence , was also worthless. Fumfl
was ephemeral nnd was not worth striving
for unless accompanied by good works. In
our prayer to God , wo should ,
said he , ask Him to give us wls-
dom. Ho urfjed his congregation to
guard and cherish their families , that the
faith should not die , and thnt their posterity
should uphold the principles of the Hebrew
people. From the largo congregation assem *
bled ho know that the Jewish faith was not
dead.
The audience was profoundly impressed
with the earnest address , in which thcro was
very much solemnity. Dr. Hanson also said ,
thnt during the past year ho had
burled moro of the fnlth than during
the two previous year * of his ministry.
Tim rabbi is the only ono In the state , and all
of the Jewish religion who dlo within his
.urlfdletlon arc brought hero for burial upon
consecrated ground. During the scrvicm
the ark , which contains copies on parchment
of the original Hebrew pontatcuuh , or flvo
books of Moses , wns opened four times. At
