THE HOUSE.

In expectation that the initial fight over the
Morrison tariff bill would take place yesterday,
the members on the republican and democratic
sides who have the duty of securing pairs for
absentees were kept busy all morning in seeing
that the vote of no man should be wasted. and
that all the pairs should contain tho names of an
advocate and an opponent of the measure.
Mr. Matson, of Indiana, from the committee on
invalid pensions, reported a bill to pension
soldiers and sailors for disabilities incurred be-
yond the loss Of leg or arm. Committee of the

on manufactures, reported a bill to regulate COM
merce between the states. THE bill pertains to

Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, moved to go into COM
mitee of the whole OH the tariff bill
On the viva voce vote there was but weak re-
sponse on either side. A few members on the re-
publican side called for division, and one or two
demands for yeas and nays were heard,

lection would be made TO going into committee.
The objection could be raised at later stage
when the tariff bill would be reached in commit
tee.
