Washington July 23 In the
senate this morning- Tillman wanted
to further consider his sugar scandal
resolution which was reported adverse
ly on but was voted down and the
tariff bill taken up when Teller ai
dressed the senate. Hedid not favor
the bill did not believe it would a'
complish the purpose of Its' friends
Its passage however would dispose of
the question and enable congress to
direct itself to other questions. The
money question he regarded as the
paramount one. It -was infinitely of
greater importance' than the tariff bill
At 3:15 a vo.e on tne tariff bill was ex
pected within two hours.
Senator Teller's speech was the most
rabid heard this session. He absolute
ly and finally repudiated the republic
can party so severely aid ne ecore
the republicans that some of his former
associates left the chamber in disgust
Teller said the election bad been won
by resort to a system of terrorism by
falsehoods slander and corruption.
It would be worth while to know" he
said "bow much the sugar trust had
given to the republican organization
in '1)6; how much the Standard Oil
company had given and bow much the
great manufacturing concerns of coun
try had contributed. I hey should
then be able to measure the justice or
injustice in the tariff b ll " He sup-
posed the finance committee knew what
measure they had to mete. In con
clusion he declared with applanee from
ga'leries than he had no place in the
republican party and did not desire to
have.
Later: -Complications have just
arisen that are likely to prevent a vote
oa the tariff bill today. Allen of
Nebraska has just given notica that he
esires to make a long speech; Caffrey
of Louisiana also waits to submit some
marks. While it is denied by the
democrats that there is any intention
to filibuster it looks lik- an under-
tending that the opposition will not
permit the passage of the tariff until
action is had on the Union Pacific res
olution.

A New York special to the Tribune

Maryland peninsular for their supply
of peaches. From J 00000 to 200000

ties of Maryiaa. Agents oi tne Penn-
svlvania road have ju9t completed
their estimate of the crop and report
tnat the yield will not be more than
one-fourth of tbat of last summer. The
June crop in the orchards was usually
heavy but the failure is largely caused
by the ravages of the curcelio an
iusect that affects nearly every orchard
in this great peach growing country.

damage in the New Jersey and Dela
ware orchards.
