WASHINGTON . July S The p-oposcd
message of tht prteldent to congress reeotn-
mrndlni : the appointment of a commission to
{ consider the quiatton of a revision of our
I currency and national banUinc laws will not
! be transmitted tolay nor for several dajt. If
It gota in at all. whlcb Is a matter of doubt.
The president Is now uodtclded whether or
not to f-end In any mwtape for the Tasoti
that a number of the nic > st important leaders
of the party In the ee'nate and house have
made strong representations to him of tlie
Inadv Isablllty of sending a message to con
gress while the tariff bill Is In conference
Senatoto Allison and Quay , Representative
1'ingle-y and other party leaders called at
the White hcuce this morning end had a long
confrtencc with President McKli.tcy. They
urged him to recontldor his determination to
tend a etpecial currency me-ssage to congress
and gave as a reason that the sentiment
In con puts was such that It tvculd be likely
to arouse fr < > llng aud caue friction that
viould delay speedy final action on the tariff
Mil. After the conference. Secretary I'o-te.-
anoounced to the newspaper men that It
had been decided that It would not be ex
pedient to send In the me * age to3ay anil that
it would not go In for several days at least
and might be deferred altogether during the
spe-clal Cession of congress
I'pon their return to the capital Senators
Allison and Quay denle-d ha\lng conferred
with the president upon the advisability of
sending In n message upon the question of
the currency. Senator Allison expressed the
opinion that if a mes-sage should be received
it would be extremely difficult. If not impos
sible , to Insure action by the senate unue'r
existing conditions Netessarily. he said the
matter would be relcrred to the finance com
mittee , a majority of which would , in all
probability , be opposed to the scheme for a
e 'T'encv commission , aud would , therefor ? ,
zt'.d the matter up indefinitely.
PLCDQES IJY SENATORS.
Independently of the statement of Senator
Allison , It Is known that the republican
'nniiagers or the senate agreed three weeks
2:0 not to press any measure providing foi
a currency commission at the present ses
sion of the eeuale The promise was made
at a time when the fate of tbe tariff bill
was by no mean ? certain , and when It was
in the power of the opposition to at least
indefinitely delav action on that measure
The agreement provided that there should be-
no cffoit on the part of the opponent ? of
the tariff to unnece-ssarily delay action , and
that the republicans should not urge the
currency e-ommission scheme upon congress.
; > l the present 'sson. though the president
should send in a message recommending such
a commission. The republican senators feel
that anv effort to get currency legislation
'hrouph would be futile Aside from the
difficulty of getting H measure such as thai
nroposed by the ptesident out of commit
tee , the scheme would , if reported , be de
bated at length and thtn , upon a vote , would
probably be defeated.
"Wo think we have the votes in the een-
te to beat such a measure , " said Senatoi
Jones of Arkansas , a member of the finance
committee , "but if It should lie reported , we
should feel that it would be of sufficient
importance to demand exhaustive debate. 1
think that It would be difficult. " be added
"to dispose of It in l s time than three or
four ninths"
The prevailing opinion on the lepubllcan
"Me of the chamber is that the president
will not Immediately pend a message , but
that It may come later The lepublican
senators seem to think it better that all
proceedings in connection with the matter
be dropped until after the final disposition
of the tariff.

W \SHINGTON , July S The house today
sent I ho tariff bill to conference. Chairman
Dlncley , Payne of New Yo-k. Dalzell of
Pcnnsjlvania. Hopkins of Illinois and Gros-
venor of Ohio , republicans ; and Bailey of
Texas , McMillln of Tennessee and Wheeler
of Alabama , democrats , were appointed con
ferees. The- proceedings were In no wise
sensational. This , action was taken by
means of a special order brought in from
the > committee on rules. The minority made
no objection to It. but protested bc-cause tbe
majority refused In advance to enter into
an agreement as. to the- length of time to
tK > allowed for debate when the bill is re
ported back by the conferees Tney also
attempted to make some political capital
oui of tbe refusal of the majority to permit
action on the. Cuban belligerency bill and
the bankruptcy bill. Mr. McMlllin tried to
offer an amendment to the special order
setting aside * tomorrow for the consideration
of tbe senate Cuban belligerency resolution
and Saturday for tbe consideiatlon of the
j bankruptcy bill , but Mr. D-jlzell said be
had not yielded for the purpose of amend
ment , besides be submitted tbat the amend
ment was not germane.
Mr McMlllin argued that If the house waste
to proceed at last to do business tbose mat
ters t-bould be disposeJ of. "You should
enact legislation. " taid he. "to release the
people from the bankruptcy into which you
aie throwing them and to aid tbe petple of
Cuba In tlie-lr sirugglo for freedom. "
Mr Swandon contended that the bouse
should have an opportunity to vote on such
i of tbe amendments as they el wired to act
on.
on.Mr.
Mr. nalley. In closing the debate for his
side , said if the minority had been given
assurances of a reasonable time for debate
when the conference repntt was presented to
the house tbo adoption of the special order
would not have be n antagonized. He de
fended the course of ti > e democrats in tbe
senate , then ing that no attempt had brcn
made there to delay action iw a partisan
tariff in ai-ure , and contrasted with tbe re
fusal of the bouse to consider the noni.arti-
l fc n Cuban resolution and the bankruptcy
| bill , both of which he said were appro.ed by
i tbe overwhelming sentiment of the p oiile
'Mr. Bailev s allusion to Cuba was warmly
applauded by the democrats , who renewed
their demonstration when Mr. llailev said
tbe president bad found time to fend a
special ambas.ador 3.000 miles to attend tbe
festivities in honor of a European monarch ,
but none to send even a message of sympathy
to people struggling for free-dora at our very
doors
Mr Ualiell. in closing tne debate , said
there was no doubt that a reasonable time
would be allowed for debate on the ton-
ft re nee rejiort.
He.'ore tbe tariff bill was acted upon Mr
Li-tvir of Washington , for the minority , of
frred as a privileged question to t-ecure tbe
adoption of a resolution declaring that tbt
bouseb } iu three-day adjournments in
violation of the constitution was "disor

give legality to the truit amendments to tlie

a short time before 5 o'clock tbl afternoon ,
The honator bad been constantly growiu
weaker for the past few days , the Interns ?
summer heat which has prevailed greatly de
bilitating him and no doubt hastening Ills '
e-nd. There were times when he would rally |
slightly , whlcb gave his family bt'jns tnat '
he would be able to regain strength sufficient
to bi removcnl from the city , but his vltalllj
had become too much exhausted to wi'h- '
stand the t-traln. This naming the tenato.
revived somewhat , but only .empoiarlly. Dul-
ing 4he afternoon he tank rapidly and paused

iu a carriage. During ibe past tfix uu..ibt.
the senator bad been able to attend 10 his
duties enl > at intervals , having been awav

BIOGRAPHICAL.
Probably no man In public life had been
identified with more of tbe history of this
county than had Senator Harris He had
almcfct completed hL "tub year , haviug been
born in Fcbruan , lt.2S , and Dret became < i
member of congrtss in IMS. His beginning
in congress thus being previous to that of any
member of the two houses , antedating that of
Senator Mornll seven years and Hon.
Galusha A. Grow , nowa member of the house
from Pennsylvania , by one jear. Mr. Harris
had , when be was elected to the national
lioute of representative ? , already become a
man of state refutation In Tennessee haviug
the > eur previously served as presidential
elector on the democratic ticket and two
yeari before been cltctcd a member of tbe
legislature of the state.
Mr. Harris represented the Ninth Tennessee
district In congress for the two terms , end
ing in lK5.i , when he declined a renomination
Ho thtn moved to Memphis , where be baa
since resided. Here he was engaged in the
practice of law- until ISi" , with only the in
terruption to allow him to become a presi
dential elector in ISdC. He was tlnee times
iu succession before the war , beginning la
Ib57 , elected governor of bis state , and was
serviiig in that capacity when the war broke
out. , He took a pionounbed ttand for the
southern confederacy and was known as one
of the southern war governors. Tne vleirei-
tude'A of conflict rendered a frequent thange
of residence necessary and he wa& often with
the arm } In tbe field. He was attached at d.f-
ferent times to the staff of General Albert
Sydney Johnston , Joseph E Johnston Heaiire-
gaid and Hragg. Albert Sydney Johnston fell
irom his horse into Senator Harris' arms
when ho rex-eived his death wound.
APTEU THE WAP .
After Lee's surrender Mr. Harris was one
of a small party of political icfugce * , who
escaped -Mexico , going across the country
on horseback. Pars.cn Brownlovv. who had
beccnie tbe militar ) goiernoif Tennessee ,
cffered a llr e ifwaid m a characteristic-
alb worded poster for the capture of his
_ predecessor , but the latter remained ab-
'scnt from tbe country until bis return was
safe. He leinained In Mexico for several
months , going tUenc-e to England , vheie
lit * resided until 1SC7 , when be leturned to
Memphis and resumed bis practice of the
law. Mr. Harris was allowed to follow the
pursuits of the private citizen until 1S77 ,
when he was elected to the United States
senate , defeating Hon. L. L. Howkins. re
publican He has remained a member of
the tenate ever since and would have
completed bis twentieth consecutive year
In that body on the 1th of next March , If
ho had lived to that date. He had been
four times elected to the senate , tne. last
time In lbD5 , and his term would not have
e.\plre-d until 1901.
Senator Harris had received almost all
the honors tbat theFCBIIO could bestow.
He > was the president pro tempore during
the Fifty-third cougie-s. a leading meinbe'-
of the committee on finance and rule-s and
also of the democrat ! ? advisory , or steering
committee. He has long been awarded bv
common consent tbe front place on both
sides of tbe chamber on parliamentary
questions , and In re cent > ears he bad been
more frequently heard In expounding these
quettiuns than In the elucidation of otbe'
subjects. He > was possessed of a very
positive manner , and never failed to throw
Into lilfi statements concerning parliamentary
practice tbe fullest force of which be v as
able. His language on these and otliei
occasions was generally so uncompromising
that he was regarded by those who knew
him not as a man of little feeling. That ,
however , thU war not tiue , none are now
so willing to testify cs his o , oonenu In tbe
senate , whu unite in attiibullng to him
a warm bean as well as a just epltlt and
billllant mind.
