ate to-day, after o short executive session,
consideration of the tariff bill was resumed,
the pending question being on an amendment
offered By Beck last evening, extending the
duty of ten cents per pound laid by the bill
upon woods of the first elass, the value whereof
at the last port or place when exported to the

port, shall be thirty cents per pound or less,

Immediately after the announcement of
this vote the House resolution in relation to
the death of the late Representatives Up1e-
graft and Hawk was received. Sherman aud
Pendleton spoke of Updegrsff's life and ser.
vices, and Logan, Hampton and George of
Hawks.
At the conclusion of their remarks the
Usual resolution was adopted, and the Senate
adjourned.
In the House, after the transaction of some
unimportant business the tariff bill was
taken up, and running debate followed at
the close of which the House laid aside public
business and proceeded to the consideration of
eulogistic resolutions on the life and public
services of the late Representatives Upde-
GRAFT and Hawk. Addresses were made and
the resolutions adopted, and as further
mark of respect to the memory of the de.
ceased Representatives the House adjourned.
The Tariff Ell.
WASHINGTON, February CHA vote will
be taken in the House tomorrow that will
definitely settle whether the tariff bill is to
be passed this session or not. At the con.
clusion of the tariff debate in the House TO-
day, Mr.. Morrison proposed to adopt the
metal schedule rs agreed TO by the Senate,
and said that if that motion was agreed to
there would be no delay whatever, SO far IS
the Democratic side of the House was con-
cerned, upon this one of the most important
schedules in the bill He refused to promise
that no amendments would be offered if the
House, by voting down the Senate's
schedule, adopted the Ways and Means
Committees rates. Judge Kelley agreed
to permit a vote upon this propo-
sition, and its result will decide whether
there are enough Republicans who prefer tbs
| adoption of the low rates recommended by
the Senate to no bill at all. There are IN.
ques,ienably Republicans from New Eugland
and the West who have been steadily sup.
porting the Ways and Means Committees
rates, who really favor the Senate bill, and if
the naked proposition is offered OF no bill or
the Senate's rates, they will vote for the Sem
ate bill. Some of these, Though not all, may
vote for Morrison's motion tomorrow. If
many do the prospects of pushing the bill will
be improved. Such a bill. however, will be
unsatisfactory to the iron interests of Penn
sylvan;a and Ohio.
