motion to take up the tariff bill in order to

ing and reached his seat on the floor
Just after his name had been called.
Noticing his arrival the clerk repeated
his name and Mr.. Holman voted aye amid
the applause of members on both sides OF
he House.
PREPARED FOR DEFEAT.
Mr.. Morrison knew when he came into
the House this morning that his motion
would be beaten by larger majority
than he had anticipated. He was pre-.
pared to take his defeat smilingly, and
to rise from it with the announcement
thai he would try again next Tuesday.
The determination to make this second
attempt was Only reached at confer
ence of the revenue reformers this morn
ing. 1t was taken in the hope that
nine or ten votes might be
changed by public opinion between
now and Tuesday next. If Mr.. Freder-
ick, of Iowa, could be present on that
day, if the three Iowa Republicans who
have been considered doubtful, and five
OF the Democrats who voted with Mr..
Randall to-day -tOr example, Messrs.
Curtin Of Pennsylvania. Bliss and Viele
of New York, and Lawler and Ward OF
Illinois--would change their position the

doubtful whether this can be accom-
plished.
HOT AND sTUFFY.
The chamber of the House was hot anC
stutfy this morning. Many OF the mem
bers wore light clothes and carried fans
The galleries were well filled. When Mr.
Morrison announced about noon that he
would not make the motion until 1:3(
O'Clock the members went to luncheon
and The people in the galleries
piled their fans. At 80 over 800 men,
bers were in their seats. The roll cal
proceeded very quietly after that. Mr.
Morrison voted in a low tone and Mr.
Randall in loud, defiant way. Neither
was applauded. When Timothy j
Campbell voted on the second call he
shouted his "aye" in a loud way, which
made the House laugh.
lEAoED Al OiNNEhs
Speaker Carlisle and Representative
Morrison were among the guests whom
Secretary EndicOtt invited to dinner to-
night to meet the President. They took
very graciOusly the goOd-natured banter
OF the other guests upon the defeat of Mr..
MOrrisOn's motion to-day. They refused
to accept it as a final defeat of the Morri-
son bill. There was a chance, they
thought. that the result might be changed
on Tuesday next, and il not a Chance
that the bill might be considered next
session. They admitted that these chances
were slender, but still until they had tried
the bill could not be said to be dead.
ABSURD REPORTS.
There is nothing in the absurd reports
that Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Morrison hold
the administration responsible for the
failure of the majority OF the New York
Democrats TO support the motion to con-
slider. On the contrary, they say that the
administration has done everything it
could properly do to advance the interest
of the Morrison bill. The bill was sub
mitted to the President before 1t was in
troduced. He md not consider it an ideal
bill. Neither did Mr.. Morrison, but he
approved it, nevertheless, very heartily,
and has availed himself OF every oppor-
tuuity to advocate its passage.
THE PRESIDENT NOT RESPONSIBLE.
The President is no more responsible
for the course OF the majority OF the New
York Democrats than he is for the course
OF the majority OF the Ohio Democrats.
The New York Democrats were controlled
bv local influences and local considera-
tions, They are all IN protectionlst dis
tricts. Most OF them are and have always
been protectionists. IL was perhaps too
much to expect those New Workers who
are generally inferior men TO display such
courage as was shown by Mr.. Outhwaite.
OF the Columbus. o., district, who voted
for the motion to consider to-day under
threats that it would cost him his seat TO
do 80.
RANDALL JUBILANT.
Mr.. Randall and his Republican allies
are OF course very jubilant over the re.
suit. They say that the bill is better than
dead so far rs they are concerned. They
would rather keep it on the calendar un-
considered, they say, than have the en-
acting clause stricken out. at is good
enough tariff bill until after the cleo
tion,O said New York Republican to-
night. "lt will scare the manufacturers
more living than dead"
