AN INCIDENT OF THE DEBATE.
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE.i

WASHINGTON Jan. 27.-The tariff debate in the
House to-day was marked by an unusual and
interesting incident. Among those who listened to
Major McKInleys speech we're the Marquis of Lorne
and Minister West who occupied seats
in the diplomatic gallery. In the course OF his
speech Major Mckinley adverted to the howl raised
by the Southern cotton planters and their represent
atiyes against the duty on cotton ties and
among other things he stated that while
the planters buy these ties at 3l2 cents
per pound they sell them for the same
price they do the cotton around which
they are placed-10 OF IL cents per pound.
This brought Mr.. Aiken. Of South
Carolina. and several other Southern
REPRESENTATIVES 70 their feet with
doulals Mr.. Chace, of Rhode Island. aud Mr.
personal knowledge the truth of Ma
jor McKinleys statements. which again
we're Indignantly denied by Dir. Aiken. who inter
jected some violent remarks, which elected rounds
of applause from one quarter OF
the well-fllod galleries aud created no
little tumult on the floor. When quiet had been
restored by the vigorous exertions OF
General McCook, who was presiding tenn
porarily Major Mckinley resumed his speech,
remarking that he perfectly understood the source
of the applause which had greeted his friend from
South Carolina. 1t did not come from the friends Of
American labor and American interests, but from
an active lobby representing interests and manu-
facturers on the other side of the ocean, who
come here encouraging and urging Democrats 50 10
legislate as to bring the pauper labor of the Eng
Ish Lords and manufacturers into cOmpetit lion
with American labor. to the degradation
of the latter For himself, Major Mckinley
said. he would not court that kind
Of applause. whereat he was greeted with cheers
from the Republican side aud from other portions
OF the gallery.
Afterward he was introduced to the Marquis OF
Lorne who had been invited by the Speaker INTO the
members lobby. and who warmly congratulated him
on his brilliant and eloquent speech. The
protectiye policy Of the Dominion was
mentioned. and the Marquis remarked that
il had certainly been a good thing
for Canada, which now has n surplus IN her
Treasury and ~ in q prosperous condition. " But
| do not think our friends in England like
n very we'll" he added laughingly. During
the short stay of the Marquis IN
