Special 10 tie Register.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June l7.-Th'
House convened this morning with sppar
emily every member present, and patiently
they endured the summer asthmatic close
mesa momentarily expecting Morrison tc
call the tariff bill. Hiscock IN. Y final
" got Morrison to state the hour that ts
would lead his men up the hill. 1t wsE
half past one. Then the prespiring patriots
sought cooler air in the corridors, only tc
be brought in at times by the 6llioustering
votes made necessary by the MtnIesos
men who were preventing the passage OF
land forfeiture bill. Bat in the House,
Randall, Morrison, Reed and Mckinley
we're busy with half minute conversations to
change or keep firm various men. ONO
own Ike Hill was custodian of the
pairs aud he wllted his collar early in the
endeavor to arrange the absentee votes,
There was no special excitement, only q
tension of nerves apparent after the call
began, there we're but two or three surprises
50 accurately had the canvass been made
Promptly at 80 Morrison moved 10 &c
into COMMITTEES of the Whole to consider
the tariff bill and Mckinley demanded the
ayes and noes. The sixth name was An
derson, of Ohio, aud he voted aye, thus
disproving the rumor that he would change
from his announcement in the Ohio caucus
When Holman's name was called he did
not respond, but the clerk saw him coming
down the aisle and again called his name.
he answered "sy "andthere waS:a storm Of
applause, partly for his vo'e and
partly tor his denomination. He had
reached the city at Ills from his Indiana
district and hurried to the Capitol. A.
was known in the morning, Morrison had
DELAYED for his arrival Down to the end
there was nothing striking, unless 1t was
the vociteriousness with which Inn
Campbell voted NO" The second call
Tor those not voting brought more mega,
tive votes the Speaker voted aye, when the
vote was announced as ayes l4O, nays
l57. The fact that Morrison had been
beaten June II by II votes created
round of applause. The votes OF the three
West Virginia Democrats, Messrs. Gibson,
Snyder and Wilson, were cast In favor OF
considering the bill, while that Of General
Goff was cast against the motion.
The thirty-fve
DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED WITH RANDALL
were New York, ten; Ohio, eight; Pennsyl-
vsnia, FIVE; New Jersey, three; Louisiana,
four; California, one; Mary one; Ala
5ama, one; Illinois, two. In Ohio, Hill,
Outhwai,e and Anderson voted with Morri-
son, the seven other Democrats and alI Rs
publicans against. The surprises were
Ward from Chicago and Sturm OF Penn
sylyania. The former was deluged With
kilograms snd Re voted against. The lat
ter was persuaded to vote TOR. The Re
nublicans who voted for were James OF
New York, and Wakefield, Straight and
Nelson of Minnesota There were thirteen
psirs. BEFORE the vote there was good
deal of talk about Mitchell Conn } repudi-
ating an ALLEGED pair with Hies'snd, who
had gone to the formers dinner IN Penn
sylVania. The pair was transferred to
Milo White, a Minnesota Repu 5lican
who would tevs voted aye, and thus the
Connecticut Democrat voted aye. The
next trouble was over Aiken (Soutn Caro-,
Gns) who hes been sick at home all sea
siop. and has never been sworn In. he
came as lar as Baltimore apd had to GO
back. He could not be sworn in except
by the Speaker or the Clerk, as was settled
when the late Mr.. Haskell Kansas want
ed the oath administered ct hiu hotel here
Aiken has drawn bis salary, Of course de
was announced IS paired with Hanback,
but in the record Hanback, will be paired
with Frederick Qows), and Aiken left as
,ha ao5,b man ND hence impaired as the
odd man Of the House The Pulitzer ""
caucy in New York city can
not be filed until November
promptly upon declaration of the vote Nor
rison announced bis
INTENTION CT RENEWIAG
It next Tuesday, and Mckinley made The
surperfuous statement that his side would
ne on hand. There is considerable highly
imaginary and awfully awful speculstiont
uoon Norrison's tactics in making another
| assault. 1t is eapy to impose upon ones
ooif the delusion that the President may
trv to whip in enough to reverse to'dsy''
result. It's easier 10 imagine something
more sensible. Now that the House ha'
from various convictions refused to enteI
upon O tariff debate this session, it is prob
able that Morrison wants to hasten I'D
iournment and hence will keep o quorum
mere By constant fear Of his bill
being considered. There is N
hone of reversion Of the result
A second hazard would gain greater dc
feat though it can be stated that II is 8
larger msiority than under normal coudi
tions would have been cast against con
sideratiou. The lsteness Of the session
other measures OF great Importance, tn
free wool clause, and other influence
swsying minds that naturally want tarll
revision.
