IN A PRELIMINARY WAY.
THE HOUSE PREPARES FOR THE
COMING TARIFF. TALK

stiIi Grating on the Pension Bni-Vest
Defies the Lightning.
WASHINGTON CITY March 1.-The walls
OF both chambers in the capitol building re-
sounded with the fervd oratory Of the
American statesman Wednesday, the subject
| in the senate being the pending pension BILL
and in the house the bill to authorize the
treasury TO buy bonds with the surplus. In
both houses the debate followed party lines,
that in the house giving an opportunity to
| lug in opinions on the tariff, and the senators
INDUCING in references to the presidency. 10
| take up the proceedings in the house first,
Mills explained that the bill was thought
| necessary because of doubt as to the author
ity in existing law to attain the object
sought This Mckinley autagonizel, say
| ing no doubts have existed heretofore, the
only reason the authority had never been
used being that it had not been necessary. He
| charged that the origin of tho bill was
Conspiracy" against the tariff and that the
| presidents objection that tho former law was
suspicious because 1t had been passed in an
appropriation bill weuld apply to the law
under which he drew salary of SO, 600 in
stead Of $25, 600, which was similarly passed;
| but there was no evidence that the president
| thought that law suspicious If the govern
| ment had used the surplus AS author liz I'd be-
| lole Iut pruning UNI wis lHUuRHb necessarily
| there would have been no surplus and the
scare about it would not have been available
as campaign thunder Reid of Maine made
a speech following the same lines.
Then Breckenridge of Kentucky took the
| floor and said the administration was not re-
| sponsibls for the condition OF the treasury
last October Congress must take its due
| share of responsibility. The ready excuse of
| the Forty-ninth congress for failing to pass
any measure which would reduce the public
| revenue was that so to do would touch the
probable revenue of constituents at whose
will the gentlemen who refused to reduce the
| revenue held their commissions in that con-
| gress [Applause on Democratic sde.l Let
congress therefore not evade any
share of the responsibility. Te
| Forty-ninth congress deliberately de-
cided that the question of taxation was
| one not worthy of its consideration. Not that
any particular mode was not worthy OF it,
but that motion to go into committee of
the whole with bill capable of amendment
was not such motion ss ought to be car
ried, and the gentlemen from Maine and
Ohio, who had spoken in censure of the ad-
ministration had been responsible to the ex.
tent not only of their own votes, but of the
commanding influence which their large ex-
perience had given them for producing the
necessity they had to meet in October. Zap
