WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S.-Aftel
unsuccessful efforts had been made by
Mr.. stahlnacker, of New York, and Mr.
Burrows, of Michigan, to secure consid'
erations Of bills for the erection Of pub.
lie buildings at Yonkers, New York and
Kalamazoo, Mich, the House went into
Committee Of the Whole (Ir. Springer,
OF Illinois, in the chair on the tariff bill.
On motion of Mr.. Tracey, ofNew York,
primuline was striken from the free list,
The first paragraph, which had been
passed over informally, that Of placing
cotton ties or hoops on the free list, was
then considered.
Turner and Stewart, of Georgia, and
Townshend, of Illinois, argued in favor
OF the action OF the committee in put
ting cotton ties on the free list. Taylor,
OF Ohio, inyeighed against the injustice
OF making cotton ties free, while hoop
iron was retained on the dutiable list.
Mr.. Bayne, OF Pennsylvania, could
not understand how a Northern Demo-
crat could vote to place duty on hoop
iron and to place cotton ties on the free
list, unless It were true that, as before
the war, cotton was king. King Cotton
was again making the Northern dough-
faces come TO the front. The people OF
the West were going to remember this
thing, and would see that the South
should not again sit in the saddle and
dominate the Northern States, controll-
ing legislation in the interest OF the
South as against the North.
Mr.. Bayne was followed by Mr.. Nc
Kinley, who spoke on the same side,
after which McShane, OF Nebraska,
offered an amendment placing on the
free list all iron and steel hoops not
thinner than No. 20, wire gauge. Agreed
to-S0 to Il.
On motion of Mr.. Mills, the existing
rates of duty were restored on cement
and on whiting, and on Paris white.
The pottery schedule, which had been
passed over, was then taken up for con.
sideration.
On motion OF Mr.. Bynum, OF Indiana,
the duty on china, porcelain earth, stone
or crockeryware was increased from 45
10 so per cent ad Yalorem.
Mr.. Buchanan, Of New Jersey, then
offered an amendment striking out the
schedule and inserting the schedule OF
the existing law. Rejected.
The next paragraph called up was
that relating to green and Colored glass
bottles. Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas,
moved to make the duty one cent in
stead OF three-fourths OF cent per
pound. Adopted. He also offered 9TH
er committee amendments, striking out
the flint and lime glass bottle paragraph,
raising the duties on cylinder and
crown glass polished, not above
twenty-four by sixty inches, from fifteen
to twenty cents per square foot
and above that size from 25 to 80 cents;
on unpublished cylinder and common
window glass, not exceeding 10 by 10
inches, from cent to ! cents per pound;
on sizes not exceeding l6 by "a inches,
from cents to ! cents; on sizes not
exceeding "a by 80 inches from l! to 2
cents; sizes above that from Il to 9!
cents.
Mr.. Reed asked for an explanation OF
the Changesproposed, TO which question
Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Arkansas, replied
that the gentleman did not represent the
consumer.
Mr.. Breckenridge's amendments were
agreed to.
The question OF duty on imported to-
bacco was next taken up, and Mr.. Mills
moved to strike out the clause fixing the
rate Of duty at S5 cents per pound, thus
restoring the present duty.
Mr.. Lafollette, spoke five minutes
upon the motions and desired further
five minutes, but this Mr.. Mills declined
to yield, and upon his motion the COM
mittee rose, for the purpose Of limiting
debate.
Mr.. Mills moved that all debates on
pending paragraph, be limited to one
minute, and the Republicans, being
again refused five minutes, declined to
vote, thus leaving the House without
quorum.
Mr.. Mills then moved the House to
take recess until s o'clock, session
having been ordered for tonight for the
consideration OF labor bills; but as the
journal showed the absence OF quorum
this motion was ruled out Of order. Mr..
Mills moved to adjourn, and on stand
ing vote the motion was carried.
