Chicago to Mr.. Cannon in the house
yesterday.

Mr.. Wilson of Washington.

Well, y replied Mr.. Wilson. turning

down as absent"
You're liar said Mr.. Beckwith
to Mr.. Wilson.

The words had hardly left his lips
when Mr.. Wilson's right arm shot out
square in the Jerseyman's face. In
an instant there was an uproar and a
scene of indescribable confusion, for
the fight was in the center of the re-
publican side of the house this after

back. At that instant the sergeant-at-

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-An ar
rangement is being talked of now to
expedite the consideration of the tariff
bill after it goes back to the house. II
is suggested that the senate ask con.
ference upon its amendment without
waiting for a reference to and report
from the committee on ways and means.
This plan has been pursued in the past
and inquiry of house members shows
that such "a request would doubtless be
acceded to, but at best "a member of the
committee on ways and means believes
at least ten days will be required TO
get the bill out of conference. Five
and probably seven members will be
appointed from each branch OF con-
gress to settle upon the form of the bill
as it shall finally be passed. These will
be selected from Senators Sherman,
Allison, Aldrich, Hiscock, Harris, Nc
Pherson, Voorhees, and Carlisle. and
Representatives Mckinley, Burrows,
Bayne, Dingley, Gear, Mills, Mcmillan
and Flower.

WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator
Vance has proposed the following
amendment to the tariff bill:
Whereas, From an early period in
our history, duties upon foreign i'm
ports have been levied with the avowed
purpose Of promoting the interests OF
domestic manufacturers and drawbacks
or rebates have been given on the du-
ties on raw materials used in the man.
ufacture of all articles exported for the
same purpose; and
Whereas, For the encouragement of
the production OF spirits and tobacco
all internal revenue taxes are refunded
upon those articles which are exported
abroad; and
Whereas, Bounties have long been
granted to our fishermen by draw
back of duties upon the salt used in
their business, and subsidies are pro-
posed to aid in the building and sale
of ships; and
Whereas, Agriculture, the greatest
in Importance of all our industries. has
not not been and in the nature of
things can not be aided in the same
manner, the duties heretofore for that
purpose having for the most part
proved wholly unavailing; and,
Whereas 1t is desirable to do i'm
partial justice to all of our industries
and to give no one an advantage over
the other, and inasmuch as there is no
other way by which agriculture can be
compensated for its contribution to the
support of manufactures; therefore
BE it, enacted, That in all cases where
1t can be shown by proof satisfactory
to the secretary of the treasury that
any goods, wares or merchandise I'M
ported into this country have been pur-
chased abroad by any citizen of the
United States by exchange of farm pro-
ducts grown in the United States for
such goods or where such goods have
been purchased with the proceeds or
avails of such products in foreign coun-
tries, such goods, wares or merchan-
disc shall be imported at the following
rates of duty, towit One-half the pres
emit duty on all manufactures of iron
and steel, 40 per cent of the present
duty on all wooden or cotton goods or
articles of which wool or cotton NAV

An agreement has finally been
reached by the sundry civil bill con-

taking a vote on the tariff bill on Sep.
TENDER 8 was taken up, the presiding
officer stating that unanimous consent
was asked for having it entered as an
order of the senate. The memoran-
dunn was agreed to. The conference
report on the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill was presented and read. Sem
ator Allison, on the part of the confer
rees, explained the report and the
scope Of the compromise agreed to, in
reference to irrigation and reservoir
sites. He begged the senators who
thought that the senate conferees had
fallen short of their duty in this agree
ment to remember that the senate con-
ferees had been confronted with de-
termination to preserve, protect and
continue that survey. The result had
been the proviso now inserted in the
bill. 1t was not what the senate con-
ferees had wished, but was the best
obtainable. The conference report was
agreed to and the tariff bill taken I'D.
In the house, at the hour of converting.
there was less than q quorum present
and call of the house was ordered.
A quorum appeared before the call was
finished, when the journal of yesterday
was read and approved. A long dis
cussion sprang up at once, the friends
of the "lard" bill maintaining that it
came up as unfinished business as it
had reached the stage where the prev
lous question was ordered when the
house adjourned on Saturday for lack
OF a quorum. The friends of the
''options" bill contended that the lard
bill had had its day in court and could
not come up again, particularly as the
options bill was the special order for
to-day and tomorrow. The speaker
ruled in favor of the lard bill.

Midgeley of the Western Freight asso-

bearing the petition of the western
roads for a rehearing in the grain rate
reduction case. The points in the
petition were published the day after

Chairman Walker, of the Interstate
Commerce Railway association, is now

Chairman Midgely in presenting the
petition.
None of the roads have changed
their position. The Alton, Rock Island

will fight it in the courts if the COM
mission does not make concessions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. -Considerable
interest is manifested in the contract
labor bill reported by the committee
on labor which will come up in the
house on Saturday. Although the pres
ent contract labor law was framed by
Mr.. Powderly and his co-workers, II
does not seem to meet the demands of
the situation as viewed by the labor
organization, as well as by many men,
bers OF both sides of the house. Rep
resentative Owen OF Indiana, chair
man OF the committee on immigration
and naturalization. expressed himself
today in favor Of the bill reported from
the committee on labor. "While the
recent investigation OF the immigra-
ton question by our committee was not
directed especially toward this phase
OF the question, owing to the recent
thorough investigation that had been
made. yet incidentally we gave it some
satisfied that the present law is clearly
inefficient, owing chiefly to the ease
with which it can be evaded. There
are some excellent features in the bill
proposed by Mr. Wade especially that
clause which forbids the advertising in
foreign papers and otherwis for foreign
labOrers. In the course of our investi
CATION the attention of our committee
was called to this in various instances
notably in Chicago and Boston, when
contractors were advertising all over
Canada and Europe for men to take
the places OF their American employees
who were locked out. The senate and
house committee on immigration, adj
ded Mr.. Owen, "have made an invest
igation of the immigration question that
has been thorough and general and has
formulated bill which, in de-
ference to Senator Chandler, who is
lying sick at his home in New Hamp-
shire, has been withheld, but will be
presented at the opening of the next
session. In the meantime / hope to
see Mr.. Wade's bill become a law, and
what there is in the immigration bill
that 1t covers can be eliminated, and
If there are any mistakes there will be
an early opportunity to correct them"
