ported back the tariff bill with the Senate
amendments with a recommendation that
the amendments be non concurred in. Re-
ferred to the committee of the whole.
Mckinley then offered a resolution from
the committee on rules, but before it could
be read, Enloe rose to question of privi-.
lege and offered the following:
Resolved, That the clerk of the House
be directed to communicate to the Senate
the fact that the House reprobates and
condemns the utterances of Robert 2. Ken
nedy, delivered in the House September 3.
rejecting upon the character and integrity
of the Senate as body.
Dingley raised the point of order that
this did not present the previous question of
privilege as 1t would take him mckinley
from the floor. At the suggestion of the
speaker Enloe withdrew his resolution for
the present, and Mckinley reported a
resolution for the immediate consideration
OF the tariff bill in the House. Mckinley
gave brief statement of the Senate
amendments.
After two hours of general debate. it
shall be In order to move TO non concur in
the Senate amendments in gross and agree
to committee of conference asked for by
the Senate, and the House shall without
further delay or other motion, proceed to
vote on said motion.
The previous question on the resolution
was ordered, yeas, IS; nays, II.
Blount, of Georgia, protested against the
resolution, contending that it was a parody
on delberation
McMillin, of Tennessee, also opposed the
resolution, and criticised the committee on
rules for reporting it. The majority in
caucus determined not only that the minor
ity should be throttled but that the plumed

was adopted, yeas, Ia; nays, u.
! The House non concurred in the Senate
amendments to the tariff bill
Mcttae, OF Arkansas, opposed the bill,
both in its original form and as amended on
the general ground that it Disseminated
against farming industries.
Payson, of Illinois, thoughtin various re-
spects the bill, as it passed the Senate, was
preferable to the measure as it passed the
House. He spoke in favor of the Senate
amendment placing binding Irvine on
the free list. He believed in Repub-
lican principles, but did not believe in
the hasty theory of protection which put
upon the dutiable list an article of raw
material, which was absolutely free of
duty, and the manufacture of which was
in the hands of a combination, which could
be indicted under the act passed by the
present Congress. After protes ting against
the placing of works of art upon the free
list, he touched upon the sugar question
and hoped the House would stand by its
schedule. Vaux, of Pennsylvania, wished
to say to the farmer and laborer that this
tariff bill was cheat. The majority be-
lieved in every trust save one-trust in a
righteous and just God.
Mckinley said the committee on rules had
heard on reporting the resolution that it
really was giving too much time for debate.
He invited the attention of the House to
the fact that not fifteen minutes of the two
hours was given to the discussion of the
Senate amendments on the tariff bill. The
trouble with the members on the other side
was that they did not discuss the measure
but names. and while they were dong this
the majority had gone on and done more
public business than had been done by any
House of Representatives since the founda-
ton of the government. The Senate
amendments were non-concurred in. Yeas.
40; nays, 81.
Enloe then called up his resolution in re-
gard TO Kennedy's speech.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, raised the piont of
order that the resolution was not in order.
The time to have called Kennedy to order
was whom he delivered his speech
Enloe contendeG that Kennedy had no
more right to make personal attack upon
member of the Senate than he (E;nloe)
had to state that the speaker was corrupt
or the President a criminal. 1t was due to
the House tnat no utterances rehectinp
upon the Senate should be admitted into
the Record.
Bayne, of Pennsylvania, concurred in
the remarks OF Enloe and trusted that IN
the interest of what was right, of what was
due to the House in homer of Itself that no
technicality should be allowed to come in
the way of condemning the utterauces of
the gentleman from Ohio.
Grosvenor said ne made the point of or
der because he believed that whatever ac-
tion the House took should be in the reeu-
lar way-by report from the committee.
BayQe offered an amendment to Enloe's
resolution directing the public printer to
exclude Kennedys speech from the Record.
Adams, of Illinois, spoke in favor of En-
loe's resolution and pending action the
House, on motion of Mckinley, adjourned.
