WASHINGTON, May si, Especial 1.-THE
scene In the House this morning was CON
fuslng u not exciting. The object OF the
members on both sides seemed to be to
outhowl each other, In creating noise
rather than give an intelligent consider
alton 10 tho tariff bill. II was impossible
TO understand what was being said, The
applause and laughter, and cries OF
"Loudern drowned the voice OF
the speakers, For half an hour
before noon the Committee OF the
Whole was q perfect bedlam,
The galleries were packed with specta-
tors watching the fun and many Of the
Senators came over from the other end
and stood around on the floor watching
the proceedings. No respect was given to
the rules, no recognition OF the chairman
and uproar was the order Of the hour, AZ
noon the committee rose and reported the
Mckinley bill 10 the house. The previous
question on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill and amendments was
ordered by vote Of yeas iOi TO nays i43.

stone, OF Arkansas, were the only Re.
publlcana voting In the negative. Adams,
OF Illinois, and Butterworth, OF Ohio,

pairs were announcedi Peteraand HoolS-
or, Connoll and Walker, OF Mlssourli

When the House went into Committee
OF the Whole, Baker Of New York offered

OF importation into the United States
whether embraced In the free list or other
wise shall be subject TO and pay no less
rate OF duty than Ia or may be imposed by
tho country OF export on like articles im-
ported into the United States. The
amendment ho says ls In tho In
torest OF good government Anderson
OF Kansas opposed the amend
mont on the ground that II would
place II In the power Of the Cana
dian government TO regulate the tariff OF
the United Statos. Buttorworh, OF Ohio,
also nppoaod this amendment II would
wreck the interchange Of commodities be-
tween the United States and other coun-
try and would work great hardships upon
the people.
For half an hour before noon the House
was In the greatest confusion and when,
at ono minute before twelve, Me-
Kinlcy yielded his remaining time
10 Frank Of Missouri, the excitement
became 40 great that the noise was
almost doafcning, and Frank could not
bo heard ak feet from whore he stood.
lThon suddenly out OF the hubbub arose
the clear, loud voice OF Mckinley calling
"Mr. Chairman, Mr.. Chairman and

The Republican leader called attention
Of tho chairman 10 the fact that II was II
o'clock, the hour agreed upon for
tho first vote on the bill TO be
taken had arrived. He moved that the
committee rise and report the bill to the
House. This ceremony having been per-
formed by the chairman Of tho committee
Of tho whole, Grosvonor OF Ohio, the

libcrato tones demanded the previous
question and moved thothIrd reading and
ongrossmcnt of the bill.

Means Committee 40 they were read on
which ballots were desired, Carlisle said
the minority desired votes only on those
amendments which made an In
crease OF duty. The olork then
began TO road the amendments. When he
