WASHINGTON , April 23. The senate pre sented an nppearnnco of cnlm nftcr the storm today. The galleries v > ere only hnlf filled , while the democratic senators gave evidence of n sense of relief that the flrst step In the tariff debate was concluded , coupled with n determination to carry on the work. Other bills were Introduced and appropriately referred , the principal ono beIng - Ing a bill by Senator Peffer and referred to the committee on the District ot Columbia , entitled , "A bill to provide work for unem ployed persons In the District of Columbia. " ALLEN STANDS BY COXEY. Mr. Alton of Nebraska offered the follow ing resolution , for which ho asked Immedi ate consideration : Whereas , It Is currently reported that unarmed , law-abiding nnd peaceably dis posed but unemployed citizens of the United States nro nbout to peaceably assemble In Washington to petition the government fern n redress of their grievances , and Whereas , Threats of arresting such per sons have been made on their entering In the District of Columbia and the city of Washington ; therefore bo It Resolved , First , That under the constitu tion of the United States , citizens of the United States , regardless of their rank or station In life , have an undoubted and un questioned right to peaceably nssemblo nnd petition the government for n redress of their grievances nt any place within the United States , whore they do not create n breach of the peace , menace or endanger persons or property or disturb the transaction of the public business , or the frco use ot streets and highways by the public. Second , That such persons have ns un doubted n right to visit and assemble In the city of Washington for any and all purposes ns In any portion of the territory belonging to the Jurisdiction of tha United States , at nil times being nmennblo to the law for any violation thereof. Third , That such persons have n right to enter on the capltol grounds of the United States and In the capltol Itself to as full nnd as great nn extent as any other citizens or persons ns lone as they do not disturb or hinder the transaction of the public business , menace the public peace or rights of persons and property , nnd nny threat of violence lence to such persons under such circum stances would bo a clear violation of their constitutional rights. Fourth , That wo commend the prompt en forcement of all Just constltut'onal laws lookIng - Ing to the preservation of the public business and the prevention of crime , but under pre tense of preserving the public peace and the prevention and punishment of crime , peace able and law abiding citizens must not bo disturbed In the full and frco exercise of their constitutional rights. Objection was made to the consideration of the resolution and It wont over under the rules. The house bill to ratify the reservation of certain lands made for the benefit of Okla homa Territory was passed. A long argument followed Mr. Harris' re quest for unanimous consent to consider the tariff bill from 1 to G o'clock each day this week. Mr. Harris , being refused unanimous consent to his proposition , put It In the form of a motion and said it could go over until tomorrow. The tariff bill was then taken up to bo read by paragraphs. The flrst formal readIng - Ing of the bill was dispensed with. ALDRICH AND VEST HAVE A TILT. Senator Aldrlch spoke against the bill when the flrst amendment was reached , that fixing the date when it should go Into effect. Ho said no one know the form In which the bill would be presented finally for the vote of the senate , for the newspapers gave the Information that negotiations were In progress < gross on the democratic side for the purposa of catching votes for the passage of the bill , "What is the senator's authority for that statement ? " Inquired Mr. Vest. "I deny It emphatically and decidedly. " "Does the senator from Missouri mean 10 say that negotiations are not at this moment - mont going on between the senators on that sldo of the chamber looking to the securing of votes to pass the bill ? " asked Mr. Al drlch. Mr. Vest replied that it was an absurdity for any ono to hold any United States semi- tor responsible for chnrges contained in the newspapers. "I mean to assert , " con tinued he , "that within by knowledge no such negotiations nro going on. The sena tor's statements nro absolutely Incorrect , o far as I know nnd believe. " "If the senntor from Missouri , " said Mr. Aldrlch , "says that no such thing Is going on , then It Is going on without his knowl edge or connlvnnce or consent , for I know that changes are being made in the bill from day to day to secure votes on tlio democratic sldo of the chamber. No one can say what shape the bill will bo In when It Is finally put on Its passage. Will the Income tax bo In It ? Will the sugar tax bo In It ? " DEMOCRATS MUST MAINTAIN QUORUM. Sir. Platt of Connecticut followed on the same line of argument , enlarging upon It somewhat , however. During Mr. Plait's speech , the intention of the republicans to keep the democratic senators In their seats and Incidentally to delay the bill was made manifest by the suggestion of Mr. Fryo that there was no quorum. During the roll call which was ordered , a number of senators came In , so the roll call showed sixty sen ators present. Mr. Palmer of Illinois said If all the harm had already been done , as asserted by the two preceding speakers , ho did not sco wlrit objection there could be in passing this bill. Mr. Aldrlch Interrupted him to assert that ho had not claimed that all the harm was done ; on the contrary , ho believed It had barely commenced. Ho had said that the country wns suffering1 from pnralysls of trade nnd business. "Tho term paralysis , " said Mr. Palmer , "Indicates a condition short of death. I un derstood the senator to say some tlmo ago It Mr. Cleveland were elected It would paralyze the country. " "If the logical result of Mr. Cleveland's election Is the passage of this bill , ho Is right In his premises , " replied Mr. Aldrlch. Mr. Palmer then went Into a discussion of the beneficial pff > ct i-n the agricultural products of this country wliah ho predicted would follow the pflssntfrf ot this bill. In answer to n charge that , ho wa a free trader , he defined hi * P } > iton | | thus : "I nm n free trader In this , that If we don't want reve nue I would not levy' ' laxfs for the mere purpose of protection , t would not Impose a duty unlpss the revenue was needed for the wants of Iho country. ' ' M'KINLHY LAW UBNKnTKtt FAU.MEttS. Mr. Dolph asserted llja't ' Iho McKlnley law had railed the cost of the farmers' products , mentioning htomv lard , bacon and other articles , evei. thpuRh this was not n declared purpose of tha bill. Mr. Gray nskod how the vorklngmcn were benefited by raising Uio cost of bacon , lard , flour nnd other things needed by the laborers , while the wages to buy them were decreased. Mr. Hawley gnvo an Illustration showing how the vaule of farm lands had bei-n In creased by the Increase of manufacturing. Mr. Allison offered an amendment strik ing out the date nt which the bill should take effect nnd leaving the date blank. Mr. Aldrlch , after this' long Interruption , resumed his remarks , and asserted thnt he bad not said the bill would not be passed by the .10th of June. Ho expected to nld its passage In any wny , but the debate hero today showed that If It bad required nn en tire day to discuss nn nmedment In tlio flrat paragraph without arriving nt nny conclu sion , It would probably require two days to consider ncetlc ncld , ftnd when It cnmo to wool , Iron nnd sugar , It would probably re quire the entire summer. Mr. Aldrlch sug gested nn amendment that the bill should go Into effect after Its passage , to which Mr. Vest emphatically objected. The latter part of the day was occupied with good-natured bantering on both sides' of the chamber and by a silver speech by Mr. Stewart , and at C o'clock the senate ad journed on motion of Mr. Harris. iini'iiuuN wonuiis : Tin : ixi.uooit.vrd.

Mr. Hepburn of Iowa , after the reading of the Journal In the house today , Interposed an objection to Its approval and forced the yeas and nays on Mr. Dockery's motion to allow absolutely no business to be transacted by unanimous con sent until terms were made for the con sideration of Friday night pension bills. The Journal was approved , 243 to 0. The houao went Into the committee of the whole , Mr. Bnlley of Texas In the chair , nnd resumed the consideration of the diplomatic nnd consular appropriation bill. Mr. Cannon of Illinois continued the roll of economist. Insisting upon an explanation of every small Increase In the bill and offerIng - Ing amendments to reduca the appropriations wherever opportunity offered. Mr. Warner moved to increase the rank of the consul at Barcelona , Spain , to that of consul general and the salary to $5,600. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Herman of Oregon offered an amend ment to reduce the salaries of the consuls at Amoy , Canton nnd Tientsin , China , from $3,500 to $3,000. Speaking to the amend ment , he severely criticised the treaty re cently negotiated by Yang Yu and Secretary Gresham. That treaty , he said , was de signed to reverse the American policy of excluding Chinese entered Into In 1SSO. It would permit Chinese laborers to come here in direct contravention of the exclusion laws passed by congress. Mr. Wilson of Washington asserted em phatically that at the precise time when the house was debating' the bill to extend the provisions of the Gjtnry exclusion law the president , in company with the chief mogul who presided over the State depart ment , was signing a treaty \\lth the Chinese minister to nullify the. not of congress. The Herman amendment was defeated 29 to GO. Mr. Hepburn offered an amendment , pro viding that all fees of eVBry character , of ficial and unofficial , collected or received by the consuls at Liverpool , Hongkong , Amoy , Canton , Tientsin , Havre , Callao , Prague , Antwerp , Valparaiso , ' Chingklang , Fuchan , Hankow , Bordeaux , Belfast , Bradford , Dem- erora , Glasgow , Kingston , , Manchester , Vern Cruz , Matanzas , Basle nnd Montevideo should bo turned lntdvthe treasury and their salaries should be thelr" Solo compensation The amendment was defeated 55 to 127.
