WILL OFFER NO GENERAL SUBSTITUTE Iloveloim ( lie I'licl llml ( Up Kntlre Democratic Vote In ( lie Senate Will lie ( he MeiiMire. WASHINGTON , May 22. The democratic senators held a caucus today and decided to naugurate their fight upon the tariff bill as soon as the bill Is taken up In the ecnato by i motion to strike out the Internal revenue features of the bill relating to beer and tobacco. This result was reached after n llscusslon , lu which practically all the sena tors present participated. The conclusion was unanimous that this was the wise nnd politic course to pursue. The talk was jascil largely upon the proposition to In crease the tax upon beer , which was gener ally criticised ns an effort to Increase the prlco of "the poor man's beverage , " which was pronounced wholly unjustifiable In time of peace and with $120.000,000 of Idle money In the treasury. The proposed beer tax was condemned as a war tax. The discussion ot other features of the tariff bill was only desultory and no conclu sion beyond that stated was reached. The uigar schedule was the subject of frequent remarks and there was discussion of liio advisability of offering a substitute for u. but no conclusion to that effect was arrived at. It was made apparent that every demo- cratlc senator present would probably vote against the bill. Senator Gorman urged the advisability ot the Introduction ot a substitute for the en tire bill ntnl made a speech In Biipport of the proposition , but It was soon made np- parent that the sentiment of the caucuo was almost unanimous In opposition to this course and the proposition was not pressed to a vote. Mr. Gorman gave only n brief outline of n substitute. He thought a bill could be prepared which would levy a revenue duty on tea nnd coffee and other articles which would Increase the govern ment revcnnco sufficiently to make the Wll- soiii bill sutlsfactory and thus score a point of Importance. The general sentiment of the caucus was opposed to any policy of delay. No set speeches will be made In opening the de bate , and there probably will be no effort from the democratic side of the chamber to t prevent the taking up of the schedules Immediately I after Mr. Aldrlch's preliminary statement is concluded. The democrats express the hope that dis agreements will develop among the repub licans , and for this reason no general opinion was expressed In the caucus ae to the time that will be consumed by the debate. STATEMENT IY ) GOUMAN. With the doncliislon of the caucus Senator Gorman , chairman , gave out the following statement concerning It : The conference of democratic senators was held todny and It was unanimously ngrced liy them that notwithstanding the delay In furnishing the comparative stntc- ment.t , which would enable them Intelli gently to consider the- bill , there would be no opposition to Immediately proceeding with the consideration of the same on Tues day , ns they recognized the business Inter ests of the country reiiulre as speedy a dis position of the. question ns Is consistent wltli an Intelligent consideration of the inrnsure. They were further unanimously of the opinion that the excessive Int-renses In rules on Imported : irticcs , provided for both in the Dins ley bill nnd ns reported to the senate , should be nntngonlzcu only to the extent of exposing their enormities. UecosnizInK. however , that the republican party Is committed to those increases , the democrats will be eontenl with only u fnlr ( llscusslon upon these propositions. The demociats were further unanimously of the opinion that they would oppose the. In creased tax on beer , tobacco , cigars and the other Items embraced In the Internal revenue schedules. Neither party was committed to such Increases and there Is no governmental necessity for such In creased burdens upon those artlr.lcs. CIVIL SI3RVIC13 ISVBSTICJATIO.V. Senator Rornimi ScciireH Appointment nf Two Hundred I3iniiI y ! H. WASHINGTON , May 22. The civil service committee of the senate continued its ses sions today. Several letters were received from chiefs of bureaus , among others one from Mr. Miller , acting : commissioner of In ternal rovMiuc , who suggested the propriety ot amendments to the civil service rules. He thought the number of exccpted places should be Increased. These exceptions should In all cases Include the chief deputy and cashier of revenue collectors lu the larger districts. He also suggested that the collector should have coitrol of the selection of a large num ber 1 of hia subordinates. Commlr-sloner of 1I Patents I Hutterworth advocated a change per mitting ' lieadp of departments to select their executive staffs , regardless of the recom mendations of the civil ccrvice commission. Harold Benedict of the printing ofllce , brother of the recent public printer , ex pressed the opinion that the results under the present sjstem were GO per cent better than under the "spoils" system. Senator Elklns wss dcslrour of knowing how many appoint ments had been secured by any one mem ber of congnes , and the wltncsu answered that about seventy-five were credited to Rep resentative HIchardson of Tennessee , chair man of the house committee on printing and about 200 to Senator Gorman , chairman of the senate committee.
