that tho Democrats intended 10 have vote

When Mr., Mills called up the tarff bill
today, Mr. Kelly, Of Pennsylvania, sug-
gosted on his individual responsibility as a
means OF oxpcditing adjournment, that tho

fate then TO depend upon the result OF the

be kept down by an entire repeal Of tho

Mr.. Mills rejected the suggestion and
made counter proposal that the Repub-
licans should fix an early day for taking
final vote on the bill.
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, declared that Mr..
Kelly spoke for himself alone, aud that
the Republicans would insist uron point

PEsrH, June 27.-The delegation today
adopted an army credit OF 47,000 900
ilorins. In the course OF the debate Count
Apponyi observed tina. in view OF the state
of uncertainty in Europe the alliance with
Germany afforded strong safeguard, es-
pecially after Emperor Williams speech
in the Rechstag, which met with the
keenest and most sympathetic reception in
Austria. This, he said, did not release the
country from the duty Of developing its
own strength. II Austria desired an en-.
ergetic policy she must, in spite Of the
condition Of her finances, grant TO the war
department the necessary resources. Rcso-
lutencss meant peace, while weak and
yielding course rendered war certain.
tCheers.
Herr Won Tisza, tho Hungarian premier,
said he fully concurred in the opinion that
tho pacific tone OF Emperor Williams
speech did not release them from the duty
OF developing their strength. The declara-
tons OF Emperor William since his acces-
sion had strengthened their attachment
and their confidence In the alliance. as
well as their veneration for the leading
statesmen OF Germany.
