He WAS heartily opposed TO it, and h'
judged that his Democratic colleague.

Mr.. Mills and Mr.. McMIllen then sub
mitted the points Of order which they
had held in reserve, and the Speaker de-
cided that under the rules the bill must
be referred to the Committee on Ways
and Means.
Mr. Reed then asked for unanimous
consent for the present consideration OF
the bill, but Mr Mills objected.
Mr. McKinly asked unanimous consent
for the consideration Of resolution
making the Tariff bill a special order for
February 5th and providing for vote
on concurrence or non-concurrence in
the Senate amendment after twelve
hours debate
TO this also Mr. Mills objected. So
the bill, with Senate amendments, went
10 the Committee on Ways and Means.
Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported
the Edmunds resolution declaring the
sense Of the Government of the United
states in respect OF the connection of
European governments with inter
oceanic canals at the lsthmus of Darien,
in Central America.
Mr.. McCreary asked that the resolution
might be recommltted and the committee

80 CONCURRENT TARIFF LEGISLATION
EXPECTED THIS SESSION
Chairman Mills. of the House Commit
tee on Ways and Means, this afternoon
issued a call for the meeting Of his com
mittee on Tuesday next, at which time it
IS expected the Senate Tariff bill will be
taken UP for discussion. Speculation is
rife as 10 what action the Committee on
Ways and Means will take Some as
: that the Senate and House bill
ill lie IN committee; Others con-
tend that the committee will
report the Senate bill back to the
House and place it on the calendar
so late day in the session
that no action can be had upon the
subject The members Of the Ways and
Means Committee refuse 10 indicate
what course the committee will pursue.
Ii is generally agreed, however, on all
hands, that there will be no concurrent
tarIn legislation al this session OF Con-
gress touching the tariff question proper,
and that the only hope of legislation in
the direction Of reducing the revenue
must come. If at all in the shape Of bill
reducing the internal revenue taxes
such a measure, in the present temper Of
the House, could, it is believed be
passed.
