OPPOSITION 20 THE wHIsKEY BILL.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TkIBUNE.i

WASHINGTON, Jan 1S.-The sentiment OF the
House toward the Bonded Spirits bill has undergone
a very decided change since that measure was
originally reported by unanimous vote OF the
Ways and Meaus Committee Then 1t passed the
House by an almost unanimous vote, its opponents
not allowing enough strength to secure oppor
tunity for discussion OF to sustain demand for the
yeas and nays. Today Mr. Butterworth. who has
the bill in charge resisted the motion to 60 on with
the Naval bill, although he is member OF the APP
preparations Committee which reported it, aud tried
to rally the friends Of the Whiskey bill to his sup
port Although SOME of them did not respond to
the call. the vote, which was taken by yeas and
nays, wa regarded as something of test of the
relative strength OF the friends and opponents OF
the measure. It resulted I43 TO GA majority of
T8 m favor of the latter and Of course had dis
couragng effect upon the advocates Of the whiskey
interest, who seem to DO losing ground daily

soroing to the public at large, nor indeed to ma

much like anothers II usually requires contest OF
some length to get the bill up. Then some Demo
crat moves to change the duty, say on borax' from
specific to ad valorem. without knowing exactly
why he does so. Mr.. Beck can always be counted
upon to support such motion with speech
setting forth the sutterings of the people who
consume borax and the extortions OF the monOp-
olists who control ii, ending up with section OIL
his well-worn tariff speech first delivered three
years ago.
Senator sherman asks how often 1t is necessary
to answer and refute these antiquaed and exploded
theories of Senators on the other side.
Mr. Vance the e" End man" of the Democracy,
made humorous speech on the subject of borax.
Mr. Morrill, calls attention to the fact that four
hours have now been spent upon the single Item OF
borax and remarks that if the whole question OF
free trade versus protection must be rehearSed
upon every clause of the bill, the ALFnth
Congress will pass INTO history with the great work
of tanf reform unfinished.

tention Notwithstanding the able and vigorous
defence of his administration of the Navy Depart

successful there is still strong disposition to scru-
tinize very closely any affecting the navy in
the preparation of which he has taken an active
part 1t is no secret among Representatives,, how
ever that IN this particular case Mr. RoOeson per-
sonal views and desires have by no means been
allowed to prevail except far as they are shared
by his colleagues of the Appropriations Committee
who do not share certain disadvantages under which
he still labors.
The bill as reported to the House Is very
different in many important respects from
the original draft prepared by him, and
some of the most conservative Representatives who
have examined il are prepared to defend It,. The
hue and cry against II appears to have no oetter
foundation than unconquerable hostility ana aver
