Washington, Aug. 16.—The niiiotidod tariff bill was laid Itefore th*- hons*> inr- modiateiy after reading the journal, as having been correctly enrolled and sign- ad hy the speaker. It was at once sent to the senate. The speaker also submitted a letter from Representative ('lifton R.

The Democratic stcwtriiig committee of the senate has agreed to refer all |x>pgiui tariff bills to the tinauce commitfoo. At 13:lh, the vice president aiinoumxsl his signatnn* as affixed to the tariff bill. In the senate, during the routine morning business, the chief clerk of the house delivered a message from the house notifying the senate of the dis charge of the house con feres on the tariff bill, and of the fact that the house had receded from its disagreement to the senate amendments, and further, that he (the clerkl had been directed to present to the senate, for the signature of its president, the enrolled tariff hill. Within a few minutes afterwards the rice president announced that he had signed the tariff bill. Air. Harris asked that the house rev enue bill be read tin* second time. To the astonishment of everybody no sena tor objected, and the house bills to place coal, iron ore. barbed wire and sugar on the free list were read. Mr. Harris then took the floor and sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a letter from Secretary Carlisle, just received. The letter reviewed the condition of the treasury and estimated the revenues of the government for the next fiscal year. The figures showed that under the tariff' bill just sent to the president, revenues would exceed ex penditures for the fiscal year ending Julv :io. is!*:.. si.'i.iMMt.ouo.

Washington. Aug. Iff.—A prominent Pittsburg ninimfaetnrer, who is in the city, speaking of the settleiueni of tariff legislat ion said: Tin* passage of tin* senate bill was hailed with joy in Pittsburg, especially among the workingmen. This manu facturing center severely felt tlie depres sion caused by the long delay and un certainty. ’and now that the matter is settled, a boom in business is expected to result. For a year capitalists have held off in vesting monev in imwenterprises. They wanted tlie lariff settled before doing anything. Some of the mills aud glass houses have been idle since the agitation began. Their owners .-aid they would jtoi start until it Avas known for a cer tainty what congress would do. Now that they know, they say tlmy will adapt themselves to the new condition of affairs and start their plants. The employes, of course, expect lower wages than before, but as there is every indi cation of a boom they are sure of steady employment. The highly protected niainifaeturers, while not exactly pleased over the new schedule, are glad to see the m ilter set tled. Few of them say so. but their manner and talk betray them. The majority of them an- at the .-uniiuer re sorts. but those who are still in tie city are glad of the action taken by the house. (In* I•i**oyi)i' T.i\ Is Dm*.
