Paris, June 27.—A meeting of repub lican members of the senate and cham ber of deputies was held yesterday af ternoon, to decide u;#)n a candidate for president to be voted for at Veraalles to day. The proceeding* were charac terized throughout by an indescribable noiaa and continuous brawling. Deputies and senators shouted at the top of their voices over one another# heads. Some demanded a vote without debate. Blows were exchanged by sev eral members and ink stands were thrown about freely. Deputy Marc Soset, member for Ardiche tried to stand upon the table, and was nulled forcibly to the floor by M. Betreaux, member for Seine-Eth-Oise. Another member who tried to hide the ballot box was struck and knocked down. Finally some of tbe calmer members proposed a recess and motion to adjourn was carried. A large number remained in the hall, however, and after a short period of quietness, Senator Da Varni- nac, who presided, asked whether the meeting desired to vote. The tumult was renewed immediately and salt was impossible to restore order. M. Dever- nlnac declared the meeting closed and left the tribune. Free fighting ensued for fully a quar ter of an hour. Eventually the hall was cleared. The conflict was provoked by the socialists and the extreme radicals, in order to prevent a decisive vote. During the fighting, Deputy Hum bert, socialist, seized the ballot box in which a vote wss being taken and breaking It up. threw the peicea in the faces of his opponents. Under the cir cumstances a record of the vote was considered worthless. Two hundred republicsas met subse quently la the committee room. Depu ty Delo-Montaud, presiding. Resolu tions were adopted expressing the sor row of the moderate members of the party that the plenary assembly had been prevented from accomplishing its purpose by such tumultuous scenes and accusing the socialists of purposely ob structing the proceedings. It was decided that the only resource was to go to Versailles without prepa ratory decisions as to the presidency, and that this course was likely to en sure the election of M. Casmir-Perler. The socialist deputies had delegated Jaures, Hugues. Jourde. Tillerand. Grousset, Hovelacque and Peirre Rich ard to attend the plenary meeting and act in concert with the advanced re publican senators in the choice of a candidate who would not combat the socialists. Later in the day the three republican scnatorlalgroups—the Centre, the I-eft republicans,and the unionists republi cans—met to choose a candidate for the presidency. A ballot was taken with this result: Cssimir-Perier, 144; Du- puy, 15; Brisson, 5; Defrsieaet, 4; Ara- go, 2; Loubel, 1; Constant 2: Cavignac, 1. No representatives of these groapt attended the panary meeting. Deputy Pelletan, radical, complains that he was struck in the face with an ink stand during the tumult in ths plenary meeting. Deputy Hauzet, who was pulled off the table during the tumult, has challenged M. Betreaux to a duel. The seconds named by M. Sauzet have declined to act. LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE.

LAST WEEK OF TARIFF The Final Vote In the Senate la -■•••■-anted on Thursday. THE AMENDMENTS TO THE IXCOJIE TAX. In th# lions# th# Hill to Admit Now M#xlv# As u Stulc Will Hold Fro##d#nr# Af ter Tu#sdnj - Other Matters Awaiting Their Tura. Washington, June 25.—Party leaders on both sides of the chamber agree that this week will see the tariff bill out of the senate; as to the precise date there is a divergence of opinion. Senators Harris and Jones expect to see the final vote taken not later than Tuesday eve ning. Senator Aldrich, on the republi can side, says it may be taken then, but it will more likely be Thursday. Sen ator Allison says the vote may be taken Thursday, but he hardly thinks it will be reached before Saturday. The republicans, it is understood, have not abandoned their intention of fully debating certain propositions found in the bill, such as the sugar schedule; its alleged connection with the trust and the investigation now go ing on; neither will they overlook the abandonment of the reciprocal or com mercial arrangement# made under the provisions of the McKinley act It is believed that tha income tax part of the bill will he eoncluded today and possibly the Internal revenue para graph. A large number of amendment* still to be offered to the income tax and the attack the republicans intend mak ing on the increase In the tax on whis key may, however, prevent these mat ters from being disposed of in one day. In the UotiMe. The absence of Weaker Crisp from the House last week prevented the com mittee oa rules, in whose hands are the proposed destinies of legislation 'n the house, from arranging a programme of business for tbe coming week. It will not be absolutely necessary for them to do anything in the matter before Tuesday or Wednesday, for tbe rules of the House and pending business are sufficient to provide for the first two days. This being the 4th Monday of the month, is set aside for considera tion of business relating to the local affairs of the district of Columbia. When the house adjourned on Satur day, the general deficiency appropria tion bill for the current year waq the unfinished business of the whole—the quasllon of paying nearly half a mil lion dollars of judgments of the court of claims on account of Indian depre dations ; and the balance of a year's l-alaries to the families of three deceas ed members, one of whom died as far bask as the 41st congress promised to require an ordinary day’s session for their settlement The probabilities seem to be, therefore, that other gen eral legialation will not be consideied before Wednesday, There are half dozen measures on the calender whose advocates are desireous of securing recognition, but the bill to admit New Mexico as a state of the union, stands the best show for first place. Another bill that nestles in the good graces of the leaders is that introduced by Representative Cooper of Indiana, authorizing the states to tax green backs as gold and silver are taxed.

For the protection of sheet-iron pipes from the rust tarring is now largely resorted to, as a method alike simple, economical and effec tive. The sections, as made, are for this purpose coated with coal tar, and then filled with light wood shav ings and the latter set on fire, the effect of this treatment, it seems, be ing to render the iron practically proof against rust for an indefinite period, and rendering future paint ing unnecessary. In confirmation of this, the instance is cited of a chimney of sheet iron erected in 1801!, which, through being subjected to the treatment in question, is bright and sound to-day as when erected, though never having had any paint applied to it since. It is suggested that by strongly heating the iron after the tar is laid on the outside the latter becomes literally burned into the metal, closing the pores and rendering it rust proof, In a far more complete manner than if the tar itself be first made hot and applied to cold iron, according to the usual practice pursued. It is a mat ter of importance, of course, in car rying out this method with iron pipes, not only that the iron should not he kept too hot, but that the iron should not be kept hot for too long a time, lest the tar be bunted off; and hence the desirableness of using light shavings instead of any other means of heating.
