THE OBSTRUCTION POLICY.
THE STRUGGLE IN THE HOUSE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRmUSE.l


WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Mr. Reed proposes to
call up in the House tomorrow morning, immedi-
ately after the reading of the Journal the amend
mcnt to the rules reported by him yesterday and to
demand its immediate consideration. II is expected
that point OF order will be raised against
it by Mr. Randall or some other Demo-
crat and Mr.. Reed thinks that an
hour or two may be occupied in the discussion of
this point. OF course the point will be that the
Speale must entertain filibusterng motions against
the consideration Of a proposition to amend the
rules of the House. There is the best reason
to believe that the Speaker will over
rule any such question that may be raised.
Democrats are already declalming against the rul-
ing which they evidently anticipate as "arbi-
trary," revolutionary" unconstitutional" etc.
If these gentlemen will read the report Of the
proceedings of the House of Representatives
for March !, they will discover that
Speaker Randall made that day three several
rulings under the Electoral Commission law either
! of which was quite revolutionary" as any that
| Speaker Kefcr is likely TO make tomorrow. 4
| good many Democrats however, will be very glad
If they can escape from their present predicament
| through an amendment to the rules which will put
a stop TO proceedings with which, at heart, they
are thoroughly di>guscd.
! There continues to be talk Of another "cOmpro-
| misc" TO be offered by the Democrats tomorrow,
and several OF their leaders have been in conference
this evening discussing various terms TO he offered.
There appears to be no Likelihood that they will
agree upon anything hat the Republicans can ac-
ccpt Indeed the N jority would not be justified in
reCeding at all from the position taken
by them il the proposition they Submitted
to the minority yesterday and which Mr.
Randall cLrtiy refused to entertain Mr. Reed said
this evening That lie had every Tcasol 10 believe
that the majority would have a quorum tO-unrrOw
and would, therefore, be able 20 adopt the proposed
amendment.
Upon the merits of the amendment reasonable
time for debate will be allowed but final vote
upon 1t viii probably be taken before the House
shal. adjourn tomorrow. Members of both
parties are locking forward with considerable inter
est and some anxiety to the proceedings OF to-nor-
| row. but il is hardly probably that anything of
sensational GatuTe will take place. The majority
certainly propose nothing that is not entirely within
the scope ot constitutional power and Of estabi shed
precedent as WELL and the necessity of their pro-
poseG action has already been iulIy justified by the
revolutionary proceedings Of the minority for the
last eight daVs.

SPECIAL INTERESTS.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON May 2S.-If the President takes
the advice of n number of gentlemen who have con-
feTed with him about the Tariff Commission, he
will not only give the Protectionsts the control OF
the Commission, but will make 1t distinctly Pro-
lection Commission. These gentlemen argue that
there is no ground upon which the pronounced Free
Trade element can claim representation. 1t is not
a Commission appointed to decide whether there
shall be a protective tariff in the United tates or
not. 1t is appointed to frame tariff in accordance
with the protective policy which has been formally
adopted by the Government, has been in operation
for many years and is preferred by a majority oil
the American people. The great aim to be sought
in forming this Commission is to select men VINO
Will make a WISE just and thorough revision OF the
tariff in accordance with the protective policy-Eot
to put on a number OF men in order to give them the
privilege of making minority report. The votes
IN Congress show that the opposition there came
from the Free Traders, and it urged that. tins
being a PrOteCtiOnlst measure the PrOtect0blsts
should be given their own way IN carrying it ont.
The question of special interests is an interesting
one 1t is known that there has been division Of
opinion on this point in the Cabinet. 1t is argued
one side that the appointment of representatives
Of the different great ndu tries, instead of able men
Of general information and sound judgment wltnout
rolling" Iron aud steel would combine with wool
and cotton, and SO on. until there would result a
tariff which would simply represent the selfish de-
sire5 OF tho leaders i'm a few great industries. On
the other side it Is argued that it
will not be possible to secure the degree
of practical know ledge that is necessary WithOuE
taking men who have had and may still have a per-
sonal connection with the chief industries OF the
country. The absurd contradictions that were TO
be all through the tariffs framed by the Demo
Gratis, when they controlled the House, were
strong argument for putting on the commission men
who have that practical knowledge which can only
be had by those who have been manufacturers or
employers themselves. The framing of a tariff Is
OF the most difficult tasks that can be imagined.
and 1t needs all the skill the country command.
The probability is that in his appointments The
President will try to represent both these views as
far as IL can be done.
One suggestion has been made which is thought
important by many-that at least one member OF
the Commission should be- a lawyer of ability, with
Il good Congressional experience in order 10 have
the help he could give Ill the work of framing
proper bill.
