Washington, d. c., Dec. 4.
HOUSE.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 4.
HOUSE,.
Mr.. Hale introduced a bill to amend the
tariff so as to admit shp-building materials
free of duty.
Arguments were made by Messrs. Kelley
and Townsend of Penn, in support of the
bill, and an amendment requiring five of the
vessels to be built In private ship yards by
contract, and by Messrs. Negley and Lynch
in support of the bill and against the amend
ment.
Mr.. Plat of Va, stated that the intention
Of the Navy department was to divide these
ten vessels into three classes, one class to
consist of 1900 to 1900 tons to carry IL and
IA guns, one from 1900 to 1900 tons, with 8
or guns, and one from 800 to 1000 tons,
with or 7 gnns.
Mr.. Negley of Penn, remarked that SO long
as Spain maintained the curse of slavery in
Cuba, the present tranquil relations of this
country were liable to be disturbed at any
moment.
MIR. Lynch of Me-, advocated coupling
with this bill one introduced by him at the
last session, and recomnended by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, to give government aid
towards the construction of mercantile steam
ers which could be converted to government
purposes in time of war. He did not favor
the amendment because he thought private
ship yards were not now in a condition to
construct such vessels.
Mr.. Townsend of Penn. insisted that the
iron ship yards at Baltimore, WILMINGTON
and Chester, had ample facilities for building
these vessels.
Mr.. Wood Of N. y, while not opposing the
bill, criticised the injudcious use made by the
Secretary of the Navy Of the vessels now in
service, alludng to the movements of the
Mediterranean squadron, and to the employ
ment of vessels to aid the scheme for the ac-
QUESTION of San Domingo, he favored both
favored the bill and the bill and the amend
ment.
Mr. Hale, of Me-, advocated his amend
ment, contrasting the merits of public and
private ship yards. He warned the house
that if all these vessels were built in the navy
they will cost $40 900 900, instead of So, O0O,-
900. and contended that better vessels could
be bailt in private ship yards in quicker time,
and with TAR greater economy than in the ma.
Wy yards.
The morning hour expired and the bill
went over till to morrow. The House went
into Committee of the Whole, Mr.. Stevenson
in the chair, and distributed the Presidents

mttees.

have been very light and are almost exclusively to

difference on the question of price that there

policy OF buyers to keep out of the market until
late in the season hoping that the stocks will be
large as TO compel manufacturers TO offer their
goods at old prices, but present appearances ndi.
cate that the production during the present month
Will be very light, as the advance in leather,
coupled with the shortening of the time for grant
ing credits, will naturally check production until
buyers are ready to give their orders. Those man.
ufacturers who had supply OF leather previous to
the fire are working up, but there is less than the
usual amount of business in the manufacturing
towns at this season of the year.
