Fee. 1.-The house made rapid. progress
to-day with the tariff bill. The democrats
steadily. continue their efforts 10 secure
moderate reduction of duties, and the en-
from the dutiable list articles from which,
very small revenue Is derived. The re-
publican protectiOnists are very anxious
to pass tariff billthat' shall keep up the
rates as high as the country will stand, The
sharply as possible between the republican
and democratic parties. They have ac-
cOmpllshed something in the way Of reduce.
lions, but absenteeism has cost them the
loss OF opportunities that might have turn
down 81 rates, BY the help Of republicans
who are dissatisfied with the increase Of
duties proposed by the committee on ways
and means. i.Arst DIS 10 GUli
FEB. 2.-Only two changes were made by
the house to-day in the tariff bill, and in
both instances the committee on ways and
extract of hemlock and other bark used for
dyeing. and taSning is 20 per cent. ad yalor-
EN-. The tariff commission put this item on
the free list, and the ways and means COM
mittee restored 1t to the dutiable list with
rate of 10 per cent. ad valOrem. After a
long debate to-day the house decided to
keep the duty at 20 per cent. ad valorem,
where the senate put 1t. The schedule Of
earthenware and glassware was taken up.
For some reason both the commission and
this schedule, and advanced the rates on
important items or retained the existing
high duties. The revenue reformers were
unable to secure any reductions to-day UNI
I'll the paragraph was reached which In
cludes green and colored glass bottles, vials.
demijohns, carbOys, pickle and preserve
jars The present duty upon these articles
is 35 per cent. nd valOrem, and at the in
stance of Pittsburg and Wheeling manufac-
turers the tariff commission and the COM
mittee of ways and means fixed the duty at
the specific rate of ~ cents per pound
The brewing and bottling interests in all
parts of the country earnestly protested
against this Increase OF over 100 per cent. as
a great outrage upon them. After debate
the manufacturers friends rallied about
Mr.. Kelly, and the duty OH earthen, stone,
and crOckery ware was increased to 20 cents
ad valorem or Is cents above the rate under
tho present tariff.
FEE. 3.-Very little progress was made
with the Tariff bill to-day. The only amend
ment adopted was one proposed by the
Ways and Means Committee reducing tho
rate on flint and lime glass bottles and Walls
from two cents per pound to IS cents ad va
l0rem in order to make this rate cores
pond with that on green and c0lored glass
bottles, according To- the action of yester-
day. The glassware portion of Schedule
Is was not disposed of, the House spending
four hours on seven paragraphs. -Four
more remain to be considered under this
head. There was brisk debate over the
items relating to WindOW-glass, cut glass, |
gOblets, and other wares of the same sort
the proceedings being enlivcned by some
sharp sparring between Sunset Cox iorr,
and Reed, in which the New York humor !
ist came out second best: a good deal Of !
the debate was on amendments which were !
evidently proposed for the purpose of OBJ
Structing proceedings, aS they were after |
wards withdrawn. The members Of the |
Ways and Means Committee were more de-
pressed tonight than they have been at any |
previous time. Part OF the depression Is |
due to the fact that the progress in the SEN /
ate for the last day or two has been exceed |
ingly slow.
FEB. Sin the house, bills were intro
duced to prevent the issue of land patents
to subsidized railroads not completed with
i'm the specified time and TO promote COM
mercial relations with Central and South
America. A motion tn suspend the rules
and pass n bill 10 establish the territory of |
North Dakota failed of adoption. A bill
to quiet the title Of settlers on Des Moines
river lands was passed. Mr.. Cannon moved
to suspend the rules and bring the legisla
tive appropriation bill before the house bu
it svas voted down.
FEB. 6.-After the senate had made few
minor cuts on wOolens to-day, message
was received from the house announcing its
action in memory of two Of its late mem,
bers, Maj. r. nj. A. Hawk, Of Illinois, and
DIR. j. Il. Updegraff. Of Ohio. The usual
resolutions were then moved by Senators
Sherman and Logan, after which Mr.. Sher.
man made the customary biographical
speech regarding Mr.. Updegraff, terminal.
ing with eulogy. Mr.. Pendlefon added
some graceful words acknowledging the ex.
cellencies of the late member of the house
from his state. Senator Logan then made
short biographical sketch of Maj. Hawk
whom he characterized as q brave, intelli
gent and gallant soldier. He was an honest
and faithful member Of the house, and his
career would have been one Of honor and
glory had It been prolonged. lie was loved
by all his neighbors and was recognized by
all who knew him as man Of good mind
and Judgment No better man, said Sen.
at0r Logan, had IL been his lot to know, and
