The house committee on to-

port favorably the Washburn bill consti-
tnting Gladstone, Michigan. a port of en-.
try in the Superior customs district. 1t
has passed he senate.
Lind of Minnesota complained that he
had no opportunity to offer an amend
ment reducing the rate of duty upon
binding Irvine. The bill as it stood at
present increased that duty and the pro-
lection on that article he believed to be
entirely too large and would be u heavy
burden upon the farmer. He regretted
he had no opportunity to to amend
the bill in this particular.
Later-Lind made Il fierce attack upon
the binding Irvine trust. He asserted
that the action of the committee in plac-
ing raw material on the free list, without
making any reduction in he duty On the
finished product amounted to IN increase
of 100 per cent and when his statement
was questioned by some of his republican
colleagues he proceeded to give them
what he called a lesson in school arithr
metic to Justify his assertion.
