Attack Upon the Senate

httach upon tue oeHate.
WASHINGTON, Sept 15.--In the House to-
day Mckinley reported back the Tariff Bill
with the Senate amendments. with the
recommendation that the amendments be
non-concurred in. Referred TO Committee
of the Whole.
Mckinley then offered a resolution from
the Committee on Rules. but before it could
be read Enloe rose to question Of privilege
and offered the following:
RESOLVED. That The Clerk OF the House be d.
Tected TO communicate 10 the Senaie tile fact
that the House ieprobates and condemns the
utterances OF Robert p. Kennedy, delivered in
character and Integrity of The Senate as i body.
Dingley raised the point Of order that this
did not present such n question of privilege
as would take Mckinley from the floor.
At the suggestion of the Speaker, EnlOe
withdrew his resolution for the present and
Mckinley reported the following resolution
foI the immediate consideration of the Tariff
Bill in the House:
Resolved, That after two hours Of general de-
bate il shall be In order 10 move 10 nOn-concur
In tie Senate amendments In GROSS and agree to
the Committee ON Conference asked for by the
Senate, aud the House shall without further
delay or other motion proceed 10 vote on said
motion.
The previous question on resolution was
ordered-ayes ll6. noes II.
Bount of Georgia protested against the
resolution, contending it was Il parody on
deliberatiOn.
McMilltn of Tennessee also opposed the
resolution, and criticized the Commit ee on
Rules for reporting it. The majority in
caucus, lie said, was determined not only
that the minority should be throttled, but
that the "Plumed Knight" should be
throttled.
The resolution was adopted-ayes ia,
noes 70.
Mckinley gave a brief statement of the
Senate amendments.
Mckae of Arkansas opposed the bill both
in its original form and as amended, on the
general ground that it Disseminated against
the farming industry.
Payson of Illinois thought, in various
respects, the bill rs it passed the Senate
was preferable to the measure as it passed
the House. He spoke in favor of the Senate
amendment placing binding twine on the free
list. He was believer in Republican prin-
ciples, but did not believe IN a haSty theory
of protection which put on the dutiable list
an article, the raw material OF which was
absolutely free OF duty, and the manufacture
of Which was in the hands of combination
which could be indicted under all act passed
by the present Congress. After protesting
against the placing of works of art upon the
free list he touched upon the sugar question,
and hoped the House would stand by its
schedule.
Vaux of Pennsylvania wished to say to the
llct anu tUuI LHlS 4 Ill Ill Dill WAS
cheat. The majority believed in every
trust save one-to trust in a righteous and
just God.
Mckinley said if the Committee on Rules
had erred in reporting the resolutions it had
erred in giving too much time for debate.
He invited the attention of the House to the
fact that not fifteen minutes of the two
hours had been devoted to discuss ion of
the Senate amendments or to the tariff at all.
The trouble with members on the other side
was that they did not discuss the measure
but called names; and while they were
doing this the majority had gone on and
done more public business than had peen
done by any House of Representatives since
the foundation of the Government.
The Senate amendments were non-con-
Cured in-ayeS 120, noes 81.
EnlOe then called up his resolution In re-
gard to kennedy'S speech.
Grosvenor of Ohio raised the point OF or
der that the resolution was not in order.
The time to have called Kennedy to order
was when he delivered the speech.
Enloe contended that Kennedy had no
more right to make a-personal attack upon
a member of the Senate than he (Enoe) had
to state that the Speaker was corrupt or the
President criminal. 1t was due to the
House that no uiterances rejecting upon the
Senate should be admitted into the Record.
Bayne of PennSy lyania cOncurred in the
remarks of Enloe and trusted that in the in
terest of what was right, of what was due
to tue House in honor to itself, no tech
nicaity should be allowed to come in the
way of condemning the utIerances of the
gentleman from Ohio.
Grosvenor said he made the point of order
because he believed whatever action the
House took should be in the regular way
by report from a committee.
Bayne offered an amendment to Enloe's
resolution directing the Public Printer to
exclude kennedy.s speech from the Record.
IL r yrN..t In in,
loe'S resolution, ana pending action the
House, on motion of Mckinley, adjourned.
