House Fillibusfering. z.

WASHINGTON, April 6.--The House
this morning entered upon the fourth
day of it's contest over the Direct Tax
bill. Reed, OF Maine, demanded the
regular order Of business, which the
Speaker stated to be the vote on the
motion that when the House ad-
iourned to-day it be to meet on Satur-
day next.
Oates, of Alabama, in behalf of the
opponents of the bill, proposed that
they be allowed two hours for general
debate, leaving the question Of negoti-
ations as to the future stages of the
bill to be settled when these stages
were reached.
Taylor, OF Ohio, said that the friends
of the bill only asked the assurance Of
a final vote at the proper time. Any
arrangement that included that would
be ACCEPTED by them, but
any proposition which did not
include it would not be
acceptable. Oates replied that such
proposition as suggested would COM
init those who opposed the bill to it's
final passage without regard to
whether any amendments were adopt
ed or not. Taylor said that abundant
opportunity would be given for
amendment and discussion of amend
ments, but to say that the bill would
only be allowed to advance one step
was nonsensical, and such a PROPOSE
ton could not be accepted. Oates re-
torted snat the gentleman's proposi-
ton was one which contained the
elements of bulldozing. Reed in
auired whether the gentleman was
not pining for cotton tax amend
ment.
s. "When we proceed in q regular way
you will see, replied Oates.
Everybody can see it now," was
Reeds retort, amid shouts for the
regular order.
The situation in the House remains
unchanged. The day was spent in
roll calls and fillibustering, and al
1:3O the House took recess until to.

still continuing, there is some discus.
sion as 10 what effect the present
action OF the House i'll consuming
the time will have upon the consider
a4ion of the tariff bill, and there are

that if the dilatory tactics are contin'
ued for few days longer, the neces
sary consideration OF the appropria
ton bills will delay until later day
than that now fixed for the discussion
OF the Mills bill.

THE OIL MONOPOLY.
The House Committee on Manu-.
factures to-day began in inquiry into
the alleged Standard Oil Trust under
the authority conferred upon the
committee by the House to investi-
gate all trusts and combinations.
Henry Webster, of Bradford, Penn, a
contractor for drilling oil wells and a
member of the Oil drillers' Union,
testified at length, going into the de-
tails of the contract between the
Union and the Standard Oil Company
and the Producers Association, and
said that two million barrels Of oil
bad been set apart for the
benefitof laboring men thrown out OF
employment. Since the Union was
formed, all drilling had practically
ceased. This contract provides
among other things that the Pro-
ducers' Association shall pay to the
Oil Driller's Union profits OH one
million barrels of oil and residue OF
profit on another million barrels, that
may remain after adjusting and pay
ing the other classes of labor injured
by the shut. down movement, the cost
price of the oil being sixty-two cents
per barrel ON November 1st, 1887,
and subject to interest, storage and
fire loss charges from that date. This
oil shall be held by the Producers
Association and sold by them
when they think proper, but
not faster than one-fourth every
three months. All persons entitled to
benefits shall devote their time and
attention to the stoppage of drilling
during the continuance OF the agree
ment, and shall report weekly to a
designated officer.
Question---Doy you know whether this
organization was formed at the sug-
gestion of the Standard Oil Company
for the purpose of making it more
for them TO transfer to
workmen their share of oil?
Answer-I do not. The purpose of
the shutdown was to diminish the
product on, and afford an opportunity
to decrease the surplus of oil The
object, l understand, was to have
more uniform and graded price.
l. N. Bennett, of Bradford, Penn. ).
also member of the
Union, testified that he had done no
work since the agreement had been
into, but had received $75 up
to March 10th from the Union.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The mes
sage from the President with draft
of the bill for the revocation OF with
drawal of lands for the benefit of GER
tain railroads was presented and refer
red to the Committee on Public
Lands. On motion Of Stewart, the
Senate tbill to authorize the sale to
aliens of certain mineral lands was
taken from the calendar and read.
Platt asked what would be left of the
original law prohibiting acquisition of

passed. Stewart said that the whole
body OF the original law would be left :;
that the law had been designed TO
prevent. the monopoly Of agricultural
lands by foreigners and was
not intended to apply to
mines Or mining. There was
no reason why different rule
in that respect, should have been en-
forced against the territories then ex-
isting in the States, where foreign
capital was largely invested in mines.
After further discussion, the consider
alton OF the bill was postponed until
Monday.
On motion OF Teller, the House bill
