APLEAsURE EXCURSION FORBIDDEN.


WASHINGTON, March THE House Committee
on Rules, under the leadership of Mr.. RobesOn
suffered defeat again to-day. He reported Tesolu
tion providing for joint committee TO attend the
celebration at New-OIleans next month of the two
inndreth anniversary OF the discovery of the mouth
of the Mississippi River by La Sale S. s. Cox
made ford speech in support of the resolution,
md in the course of his remarks impaired con-
siderable historical information which was un-
doubtedly new and interesting TO majority OF the
House. Among other things Mr.. Cox made 1t ap-
parent that the Mississippi Valley Is much more
thicklv populated now than 1t was when La Sale
made his adventurous voyage down the Mississippi
in an Indian canoe two hundred years ago. Mr.
Gibson of Louisiana, who advocated the resolution,
tried TO impress on the members OF the House that II
was patriotic duty which they should not neglect
10 send committee TO participate in the La Sale
celebration.
On the other hand Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, in
pithy speech declared that il would be stlu more
patriotic service for the members of the House and
Eeaate to remain in Washington and devote them
selves 10 the public business. After an hour or 30
had been spent in discussing the resolution Mr
Haskell moved that IL be laid on the table motion
which was promptly adopted. There was strong
suspiciOn In the minds of many members of the
House that while the Ostensbe design of the reso-
luton was 70 give an official character TO the
memoratiye celebration, the real purpose was TO get
"a dozen or more members Of the House and Senate

THE HOUSE AND THE TARIFF QUESTION
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l


WASHINGTON. March 7.-An unsuccessful attempt
was made in the House to-day to proceed with the
consideration of the Tariff Commission bill. After
a wealisome discussion on point Of order raised by
Chairman Valentine, of the Agricultural Commit
fee. whodesired to have the Agricultural Approprla-
ton bill taken up the point was decided in his
favor and against the Ways and Means Committee.
This ruling was not wholly unexpected by the
friends of the Tariff Commission bill, nor was II en-
tirely distasteful to them. 1t assures them that
when the bill shall finally be reached no amend
ments will be admitted which propose to change
the existing tariff, will a propo-
sition to substitute for the Tariff Commission
bill general tariff bill be entertained. In conver-
saton with a TRIBUNE correspondent this after
nooo, Mr. Kasson, who has charge of the bill, said
that on tomorrow he shall vote that the House go
into Committee of the Whole. If this is carried he
will move to lay aside, one by one, all the bills
which pIecede the Tariff Commission bill on the
calendar There are ifty-two such bills and if OBJ
lection be made, separate vote will be required
10 lay each one aside. Among the flfty-two bills
ore several upon which action is greatly desired by
their friends and, if they feel so disposed.
they can easily prevent the Tariff bill
from being reached tomorrow, or at
any other time, until the measures in
which they are interested shall have been disposed
Of Mr. Kasson and other friends of the tariff bill
are. however. quite confident that no strong oppo-
siton will be offered to the Immediate consideration
Of that measure. -
The taking up of the Agricultural bill to-day did
not prevent the beginning of tariff debate. Mr..
Aiken of SOuth Carolina, and Mr. Oscar Turner, of
Kentucky, made free trade speeches to the lew
listen to them. No progress Whatever, was made
with the Agricultural Appropriation bill.
