WASHINGTON, July 10.-The house
went into committee of the whole on
the tariff bill, and Mr.. Nutting's amend
ment restoring the existing duty on
starch was rejected. In discussing the
rice section Mr.. Elliott, of South Caro-
lima, said the Republicans, having NOM
mated a Chinese president were ready
to sacrifice the colored labor of the
Southby allowing free importation of rice
from China. Mr.. Warner, of Missouri,
offered an amendment fixing rice duty
at half cent per pound; said it should
be free; that rice growers made S33 per
acre, while wheat growers made S12,
and corn growers SO. He said the Mills
bill was in the interest of the rice and
sugar raisers of the South as against the
corn and wheat raiSerS of the North and
West. On motion of Mr.. McMillin, of
Tennessee, the duty on rice flour and
valorem. Mr.. Boutelle offered an
amendment fixing the rate of duty on
deXtrine, burnt starch, gum substitute
or British gum at 8 cents a pound. The
present rate of l cent, he said, was
too low, and out of proper
ton to the duty on potatoes,
from which dextrine was made.
After some debate the motion was re-
jected-56 to II. Mr.. Vandever, of Cali
fornia, moved to increase the duty on
raiSinS from Is to 2 cents per pound
(the present duty. He urged this ON
behalf of the raisin industry Of Cali
fornia, which had increased from 100000
boxes three years ago to 100000 boxes
last year, and this year would probably
be 100000 boxes. Mr.. McKenna, of
Eali hn
amendment and appealed to the Demo-
Gratis to allow it to go through, saying
the Democrats of California would have
BETTER FEELING FOR THE PARTY
if the amendment should be adopted.
MIR. Biggs, of California, thought the
raisin industry would be as we'll pro-
tected under the Mills bill rate as under
existing laws. Mr.. FELTON,, of Califor-
MIA, also urged the adoption of the
amendment; but it was rejected. Mo-
lions to restore existing duties on pea
nuts, cotton thread, yarns and cotton
cloths were made and rejected. On
motion of Mr.. McMillin an
f6s rsta " was d adopted On flying 614
hacked, known as dressed line, at $40
per ton. A motion to restore existing
duties on flax, hemp and jute yarns was
lost. Pending consideration of mo-
ton to increase from SO to 40 per cent
ad valorem the duty on flax and linen
thread, Irvine and packthread and
manufactures of flax, the committee
rose, and at 3 p. m. the house took a re-
cess until O'clock, the night session to
be,devOted to the consideration of the
bill granting right of way to railroad
