HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Cox IN. W, from Banking and Currency
Committee, reported back the Senate amend

OF receivers Of national banks, which were
non concurred In, and a committee Of con.
ference was ordered.
On motion of Mr.. Morrison (Ill.), the House
went into Committee of the Whole on
THE TAEIFF BILL,
Mr.. Springer in the chair.
Mr. morrison then proceeded To read
speech in explanation OF the bill reported by
him some time ago. He first reviewed the
history OF tariff legislation in the United
States and also in England, and then pro-
ceeded to show that tariff for revenue
the best interests OF the country. The reduc-
lion was not yet as great as IL should have
been, but the committee had no disposition
TO make such radical changes as would dis
turb the industries of the country.

The war, and he therefore regretted that,
while the pending bill had many excellent
features, IL was so detective that unless Ii
was materially amended he could not sup

more perfect In its details.
While Mr.. Burchard was speaking Mr..
Faulkner interrupted and moved that the
committee rise, in order that the report of

mine might be presented.
The committee refused to rise, although
the House had previously ordered that the
Committee OF the Whole SHOULD sit only two
hours.
Mr.. Burchard then resumed his remarks.
