Reading by sections.

Mr.. Mckinley, OF Ohio, moved that
the general debate on the tariif bill b,
limited 10 one minute. The motion wa,
agreed 10, The house then went into
committee OF the whole on the tariff
bill.
No ono desiring to occupy tho one
minute, tho clerk proceeded 10 read the
bill by paragraphs for amendments,
Mr.. Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
/ offered an amendment TO come In after
tho enacting clause, providing that any
citizen of the United States who
manufactures or produces articles
and sells them outside OF
tho United States shall be en-
titled to admit free Of duty any article
of commerce which he may desire to
use In his business to the value o. the
articles exported. After explaining that
his proposition was to reverse the action
OF the old principle Of rebate, Mr.. Breck-
inridgc demanded tellers on his amend
ment. II was lost by "A vote of s3 to
Iii.
Mr.. Anderson, OF Kansas, offered an
amend ment providing that the presi-
dent may suspend the rate OF duty on
NHtn ltl MS luuK-
ment tho production, manufacture or
sale OF such articles is monopolized or
controlled by any trust or combination
The aniendment caused a lively debate
In regard to trusts.
MIR. Grosvenor threw iircbrand into
the discussion by repeating the story
regarding MIR. Havelneyer's influence
upon tho sugar schedule in the Mills
bill. After this the debate was plentifully
sprinkled with such phrases as shotgun
policy" "falsehood," etc.
The matter was finally settled by
everybody apologizing. after which tho
amendment was adopted by vote of 81
TO 10, only two republicans voted In
favor OF IL. The announcement Of the
result was received with applause ON the
democratic side. TN a vote being taken
by tellers the amendment was rejected.

tho bill by sections. He reached the
second iiom, boracic acid. when Mr..
NiedrinRhaus, OF Missouri, proposed an
making the duty ON COM
merclal acid 3 cents instead OF 5 cents
rejected.
Mr., Covert of New York. moved to
stF'se out the clause imposing a duty Of
x OF "A cent on muriatic acid The
debate became desultory in character,
sometimes amusing, sometimes political
and soinetimes bordering on personali-
ties, after which Mr.. Coyert's motion
was lost.
a motion was made by Mr.. Covert to
strike ont the duty on sulphurio acid,
which met with similar fate.
The committee then arose and the
house adjourned.

CHINESE sMUGaLIsG.
a Question That Is Likely to Cause
Trouble.

WAsursoroS, May 9.-Asslstant Sec.
Rotary Tichenor, IN response to the SEN
atc resolution calling for information
relative to tho evasion Of the law pro.
hibiting Chinese immigration, to-day
sent to the senate tho reports from the
special agents along tho border.
Agent Whitehead, at Niagara, calls at
tcntion toa subject which he says isiikc.
ly to become a serious question. Chinese
persons are found unlawfully within the
United States snuggled from Canada,
and they do not have certificates sh owing
that they have paid the Dominion Gus
toms tax Of $50 per head. Hoy are they
to DO returned to tho country whence
they came? The dominion customs
ofiicers refuse to admit such persons In.
to Canada without proper certificates.
and our officers will then have TO choose
between smuggling them back, or piac-
ing them on bridges connecting the two
countries, where they are certain TO
suffer much discomtort before their re-
lease.
Special Agent Brooks. under date of
Toronto, May /, says thathe has credible
Information during tho past year with
regard to 200 Chinamen unlawiully sent
into this country from Canada.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
Recommendations ON the Subject by
Assistant Secretary TIchenor.

wAsHsaros, May ii.-Assistant Sec
retary Tichenor has written letter to
the house committee on appropriations
with regard TO the Immigration laws
and the Chinese exclusion act IIs calls
attention TO the fact that while the i'm
migration law prohibits the landing In
this country Of conyicts, lunatics, idiots
and paupcrs. who come by water in yes-
sells Of any description, It fails 10 meet
the case of immigrants Of this
character who enter tho country
by land from contiguous territory. The
department has received reports that a
large number of these people have ru-
Gently entered the country from Mexico
and Canada.
Tichenor suggested an amendment O {
the law TO prevent a continuance of this
kind of immigration. He recommends
an increased Appropriation for the en-.
fOrcement Of the allen contract labor
law and the Chinese exclusion act. and
also that the secretary be authorized 10
return TO China at the governments ex-
pense all Cinnamon found here in viola.
ton OF the law.

The silver Question.

The republicans tried to agree asain
to-day cn silver bill, and yet reached
no result, although the silver men be-
lieye that some agreement will be
reached before the voting begins on
Monday. An informal vote was taken
upon resolution offered by Senator
polph. which authorized tho secretary
TO sell bonds to redeem the treasury
notes issued for the purchase OF silver
bullion. Tho resolution was carried by
n narrow majority, and the silver men
then said that they would not abide by
II. and that IL all their men had been
present 1t would have been defeated
Senators Mitchell, Squire and Jones
were not ut the caucus, and they are all
in favor of free silver coinage. The
silver men claimed that such n provis-
ion in the bill would prevent silver from
being regarded rs actual money, and
that nothing else would satisfy them.
The silver advocates are more jubilant
than ever to-day.

After discussion the amendment was
agreed 10, and by a vote OF S5 TO 25 the
bill was passed.
The house then went into committee
Of the whole OH the tariff bill.
Mr.. Fitch, Of New York, spoke against
the bill.
Mr.. Gear, of Iowa, member of the
committee on ways and means, said
that the old provcrb, 'Scratch Rus
sian and you will lind Tartar" might
be applied TO the democrats, for, II their
fiimsy pretcnses were scratched OIL the
democratic frce-tradcr would bc found.
In 1888 the people had rendered their
verdict. He favored protection for any
article that was produced In this ooun-
try. IL the United States could produce
sugar In sufficient quantities 10 supply
domestic wants, he would foster Il by
fair protection. But he believed that
was impossible. lie was convinced that
the United States must look 10 other
countries for her sugar. He contendcd
that the sugar schedule of the bill would
bo a blow at the trust.
Mr.. McMillcn inquired how II was that
the sugar trust had such phenomenal
rise recently.
