THE TARIFF BILL.
Congressman McKinley's Measure
Passes the House,
The Vote on the Bill Standing:
Yeas, l6l; Nays, l43.

The Scene IN the House a Confusing, IL
Not Exciting OneA Perfect Bedlam
Reigns, But at Last Quiet is Restored
and Vote Taken-Chances the Tariff
Bill VIII Have in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The house on
assembling Tuesday morning went into
committee of the whole, with Mr.. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, in the chair, on the
tariff bill.
The scene in the house is a confusing
If not an exciting one. The object of
members on both sides seems to be to
outvie each other in creating noise,
rather than to give any intelligent con-
sideration to the tariff bill 1t is impos-
sible to understand what is being said,
the applause and laughter and cries of
"louder" drowning the voices OF the
speakers.
Mr.. Baker, of New York, offered an
amendment providing that all articles
on importation into the United States,
whether embraced in the free list or 9th
erwise, shall be subject to and pay no
less rate of duty than is or may be inn
posed by the country of export on like
articles exported into the United States.
This amendment, he said, was in the
interest of good government.
Mr.. Anderson. of Kansas, opposed the
amendment ON the ground that 1t would
place it in the power of the Canadian
government to regulate the tariff OF the
| United States.
For half an hour before noon the com
mittee of the whole was perfect bed
lam No respect was given to the rulesi
no attention was paid to the recognition
of the chairman, and uproar was the
order of the hour, At noon the com
mittee rose and reported the bill to the
house.
The previous question on the engross-
inent~and third reading of the bill and
amendments was ordered by a vote OF
yeas 161, nays 143.
Mr.. Coleman. of Louisiana, and
Featherstone, of Arkansas, We're the
only Republicans voting in the negative.
! On the vote of ordering the previous
question. Messrs. Adams Of Illinois, and
Butterworth of Ohio, refrained from
voting. :.
The following pairs were announced
Messrs Peters and Hooker, Connell ana
Walker Of Missouri, Grout and Bank
head, Reed Of Iowa, and Stockdale,
Turner of Kansas, and Norton, Payson
and Lawler.
The first amendment upon which q
separate vote was demanded, was that
changing the phraseology of the tin
plate clause, and it was adopted--yeas
150, nays l49.
The Mckinley Bill in the Senate.
Ever since the tariff bill was reported
to the house by Mr.. Mckinley it has
been under consideration in an informal
way by members of the senate commit
tee on finance. Owing TO the de,
mands on the time and attention
of these senators by the consideration
of the silver question, and the work
of the appropriations committee, 1t has
been impossible to hold formal meetings
to consider the tariff bill. and numerous
delegations who visited Washington de
string to be heard on various schedules
have been disappointed. They were tolt
to put their views in writing, and II
that shape they will be considered by
the committee at its leisure. This course
will probably be considered in all case'
where hearings are asked

quite an interval her grave was opened,
but it was found that the body had dis

In the meantime. Soquet and Mrs;
Mansart were married, but they could
not agree, and the woman began pro
