that few mistakes like those that marred

the working politicians as the placing OF o

PHELPS ON THE TARIFF.
Charging There Is an Oath-Bound
Free Trade Conspiracy.


WASHINGTON. July 12.-The Tariff bill
was supposed to be the subject discussed in
the House yesterday, but the political
questions were more prominently men
toned, including the Phelps interview on
the Chicago nomination, the Iugalls letter
and the alleged personal Inconsistencies OF
Mr. Weaver, Of Iowa.
Mr. Phelps offered an amendment on
fax or linen thread fixing tho duty at 40
per cent. ad valorem. which was rejected
The duty on bags was fixed at three eights
Of cent per pound by the Ways and
Means Committee, and amendments were
rejected TO raise the duty on seines, hemp
and MANILA. The entire subject OF wool
and woollen manufactures was read over
and amendments were being offered when
the House took recess until evening.
William Walter Phelps made vigorous
speech during the afternoon session against
the Tariff bill, accusing the Democrats OF
being bound together by an oath to pass it.
that they might get it through the House.
But the people, he sold, would not pass
the Mills bin xt November. He said the
Republican party had developed the tariff,
and they should be allowed 20 carry cut
the plans they had started. Weaver OF
Iowa, brought up some points in regard to
opposition from Mr.. Phelps 10 Senator
Ailison's being the Republican candidate
for President at the Chicago convention,
saying that he came from a granger state
and was untriendly to railroads on that ac-
count. General Henderson repndiated this
idea, and criticised Weaver's political
policy very harshly.
The House agreed to the amendments Of
the Senate on the Agricultural Appropria
tion bill, including the 100000 for expert
ments with sorghum sugar. and the bill
now stands as passed.
The House, at an evening session, passed
the bill for taking the llth and subsequent
censuses. As reported, it was substantially
the same bill which provided for taking the
10th census. BY an ingenious little amend
ment, the effect Of which was not noticed
by any one OF the members present, Mr..
o'Neill OF Missouri St cured the increase OF
the wages Of messengers, assistant mes
sengers and watchmen, from $400 to $60C
per annum On motion Of Mr.. Conger OF
Iowa an amendment was adopted providing
that in the appointment OF enumeratorl
preference shall be given to honorably dis
charged soldiers or sailors.
