Floor for the Tariff Bill.
Special to the Indianapol Journal.
WASHINGTON April 20.-There has been
much comment to-day upon the announced de-
termination of Speaker Carlisle to take the floor
in the House and speak in support of the Morri-
son bill. 1t is regarded as an unmistakable
acknowledgement upon the part of Mr. Morrison
that the bill is IN jeopardy. 1t is known that he
has been urging Mr.. Carlisle for several days to
speak for the measure He has represented that
there are only two men in the party-the
Speaker and Mr.. Hurd-who are in debate,
able to cope with such tariff experts as Mr..
Kelley, of Pennsylvania; Mr. Mckinley, of Ohio,
or Mr. Kasson, of Iowa.
So far there has been no answer and really
no attempt has been made to answer, Mr.. Kel-
ley's speech against the bill. Mr. Morrison feels
that unless some powerful influence, such as
Speaker Carlisle can WELD, ls thrown into the
balance at this time, that his bill will be
defeated by a majority that will almost
scandalize him. Mr.. Carlisle is almost
as radical tariff reformer as Mr.. Hurd. 1t is
said he will advocate even greater cut than is
made by this measure, and that he will bide his
time and speak at the moment when it will be
most effective. There will be Republican.
likely Kelley, who will reply to him. 1t is be-
eved in tariff protection circles tonight that
Mr.. Morrison fears his bill may be defeated, and
is rallying influence to break his fall. 1t is ex-
traordinary for the Speaker to descend from his
chair and take the floor i'll advocacy of political
measure, and shows to what straits the party is

amount assessed upon it for direct taxes to carry
on the war of 1861. The interest amounts to
ninety cents and six mills making total
on the books of the Treasury. The only way to
get it out is by an act of Congress, but it would
cost Sl5 $40 to print the usual number of copies
of the bill if one was introduced for the purpose.
1t this session the Senate talked two hours
upon and finally passed bill to pay $l5 from the
Treasury to Chicago firm which overpaid that
amount of taxes, and bill has been pending in
Congress for several years to reimburse pri-
vate of the Twenty-third Infantry, a colored
man, for clothing destroyed.
General Grant once vetoed bill that author
lied rebate of $9-not because of the amount,
but the principle involved, and Senator McCreery
of Kentucky made the greatest speech of his life
when he tried to get the Senate TO pass the bill
over the Presidents veto The Secretary of the
Treasury wrote a letter to Congress saying that
millions of dollars were involved in the bill, and
the debate upon its passage lasted several days.

WASHINGTON, April 20-Representative
Davidson, of Florida whose district embraces

exaggerated to a wonderful degree. But he
says there is an extreme tension on the part OF
the Cubans of lower Florida ana a well organ

doubtedly receive thousands of recruits from the
Gulf States if such an expedition could be sue
cessfully gotten away.
Cuba must be ripe for insurrec-

expedition have succeeded in stirring up the
country to the extent claimed by the press dis
