Plumb reported the joint resolution appro-
priating money for the Oklahoma destitute
and it was passed The Tariff bill was then
taken up. Mr.. Vests motion to reduce the
duty on tin plate being under consideration.
Senator Plumb vigorously opposed the pro-
posed duty on n-plate, as he was not
willing to tax every tin cup, coffee pot and
tin dish to protect some manufacturer
who might eventually wish to go into the
business. Although Congress entered on a
sea that had no shore in offering bounty,
yet if such an industry had to be fostered it
were better when the time came to pay a
bounty than to impose duty at present

ed, Senators Davis and Plumb voting with
the Democrats. Pending further action the
Senate adjourned. :. Soon after assembling

marks. The Senate then by vote of IS to 8
decided to consider the River and Harbor
bill and the entire day was taken up in con-
sidering the bill. The House had lively
time over the conference report on the In
dian bill, but finally agreed to It. The bill
known as the Nat Mckay bill was then taken
up and the House got into a tangIe, which
continued until adjournment.
