day Mr.. Mutchler of Pennsylvania was
excused at his own request from further
service on the committee ON coinage.
weights and measures, and MIR. Vaux Of
Pennsylvania was appointed to fill the
vacancy.
The House then resumed consideration OF
the general deficiency bill, the pending
question being on the amendment granting
a months extra pay TO the employees of the
House and Senate.

yeas to 104 nays.

In the fees and expenses of the state mar
shals eliminated. The motion was lost by

INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
Mr.. Cannon, from the COMMITTEES on rules,
reported a resolution providing that after
the passage of this resolution it shall be in
order that after two hours debate the
House non-concur in all the Senate amend
ments to the Indian appropriation, bill and
to ask committee of conference.
T.. EulOe Oh l6Qu65S6b TdlS6Q L06 Qu6S-
tion of consideration, in the interest, he said,
of the private calendar
In order to obviate objections to the reso-
luton, Mr. Cannon stated, in response to a
question by Mr.. McComas of Maryland,
that it was the purpose Of the committee on
rules to report resolutions giving DAYS to
the consideration of bills reported from
the committee on agriculture and to
the consideration of private bills. If the
Indian appropriation bill could be disposed
of to-day, unanimous consent would be
asked to devote tomorrow to private bills.
The House decided TO consider the report of
the committee on rules.
ROGERS TRIES TO FILIBUsTER
Mr.. Rogers Of Arkansas, having voted in
the affirmative for that purpose, moved re-
consideration.
Mr.. Cannon raised the point that this was
a dilatory motion, and the speaker sustained
the point.
Mr.. Rogers-I appeal from the decision.
The Speaker-The chair declines to enter
tain the appeal.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky moved to
table the resolutions, but his motion was
defeated.
Then Mr.. Peel of Arkansas asked unani-
nous consent that the Senate amendments
to the Indian appropriation bill be nor
concurred in, giving as a reason the fact that
the Indian service was suffering and it was
necessary that the bill be passed at the
earliest day possible.
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky objected.
Mr.. Cannon then demanded the previous
question on the adoption of the resolution.
This motion was agreed to by vote of Ill
ayes to 63 nays.
Mr.. Dockery of Missouri moved to recon-
nit the resolution. His motion was re-
jected.
The question then recurring on the adopt
ion Of the resolution, no quorum voted
and the House at 5 o'clock took recess
until o'clock, the evening session to be fol

bill he had been actuated by patriotism,
craftsmanship and the general waifare OF
the country.
Unquestionably, Mr.. Butler assented. no
senator would doubt for an instant that the
senator from New York has been actuated
by craftsmanship, philosophy, wisdom and
all the other high qualities that adorn any
man
OBJECT OF THE BILL.
Further on in the discussion Mr.. Butler
asked Mr.. Aldrich whether the object of
the bill was not to reduce taxation.
Mr.. Aldrich-One object Of the bill is to
reduce taxation ont he article of free sugar,
for the benefit Of the senator's constituents.
II the senator means to ask me whether the
purpose Of the bill is to reduce protective
duties for the purpose of reducing taxation,
| say no.
Mr.. ButIer-Then the senator says that 1t
is not for the purpose of reducing taxation.
Mr.. Aldrich-Not by any means
Mr.. Butler-Then we do not understand
each other.
Mr.. Aldrich-You do not understand me
at all Now, | have stated as plainly as |
could that the purpose of the bill is to re-
duce the revenue, and in reducing the
revenue TO relieve the people Of this country
from any burdens created by the tariff or
Internal revenue laws.
Mr.. Butler-Is the object Of the bill to
reduce the revenuea
MIR. Aldrich-i have already stated that
that Is one of its objects.
SURE TO PUT UP PRICES.
Leaving that point. Mr.. Butler said that
what he complained of was that the pro-
posed tax on cotton ties would be prohib-
itory, and that combinations would be
formed to put up prices That was an out
rage of the bill. There was moth
ing farther from his purpose than
to injure any mans industry in the
United States, but he could not support the
proposed increase of duty on ties. IL was
not broad craftsmanship nor honest to select
one class and bleed it to death TO enrich
another class.
At the close of Mr.. Buffers speech tie bill
went over without any action Oh the cotton
tie amendment.
Mr.. Hoar, from the library committee,
proposed the Senate joint resolution TO nc-
cept from the national encampment of the
grand army Of the republic statue and
pedestal Of the late Gen. Ulysses Grant to
be erected 10 the capitol, provided tina the
design Of the statue and pedestal shall re-
ceive the approval OF the joint committee
on library, and it was passed.
The Senate then adjourned.

friends in the House have been talking very
tbreateningly ever since the talk about
driving Secretary Blaine out of the cabinet
and the party began, and they think their
threats have had good deal to do with
SPEAKER Reeds change Of attitude.
REED HAS NOT CHANGED.
Sneaker Reed has, however, not changed
his attitude very much. He is willing TO
lat an imitation reciprocity proposition
which docs not mean anything go through
in the Mckinley bill, but he does not want
tba Mckinley bill so changed as to be the
blaine bill He has strongly advised the
President not to send a message to congress
in favor of reciprocity. He thinks this Is
more than Secretary Blaine has any right
m demand. and that if President Harrison
should do it it would hurt not only Presi-
dent Harrison but the party. President
Harrison's message and Secretary Blalnes
letter would be read against the Mckinley
bill on every democratic stump In the next
campaign, says Speaker Reed.

tary Blaine any positive promise that he
would do So They said Secretary Blaine's
friends, who had been predicting such a

upon. They said that President Harrison
could well afford to leave the matter just
N where it was, having assured the republican
senators aud representatives that he was
with Secretary Blaine in demanding
reciprocity legislation Of some kind.
THE FORCE BILL.
g Speaker Reed, the Presidents friends say.
f# demands that the President send in force
# bill message if he sends a reciprocity
message. He is to send in a force bill
"a message anyway, and they thought it more
~ likely that he would do this than to send a
reciprocity message, but they added that
"a President Harrison would have another talk
with Secretary Blaine before he would do
anything.

CaARLEsToN,s PRIMARY.
The Tllmanites Carry only Two of the
Wards.


CHARLESTON, s. c., Aug S.--The demo-
cratic primary elections for delegates to the
county convention were held to-day. The
Tillmanites ran tickets in all OF the wards
except the Second. The straightout demo-
Gratis elect their delegates in all except two
OF the wards-the Sixth and Beventh--in
which the Tillmanite candidates were
elected by small majorities. This gives
them twenty delegates ir the convention
against eighty-four straightout democrats.
The Tilmanites were showed under In all
but the two wards alluded 10. Their plan
will be TO organize an independent conven-
ton and send Tillma ito delegation TO the
state convention, which is overwhelmingly
Tillmanite and which they claim will seat
their delegation.
THE CONVENTION IN BERKELEY.
The Berkeley county convention met at IL
o'clock this morning, and is still in session.
A row occurred on the question of creden-
tials and has continued. Out Of the 129
delegates it was thought that the Tillman-
ties and anti Tillmanites were abont evenly
divided, but the Tillmanites claimed 75
delegates. The straightouts demanded that
the roll be referred TO a committee for ex-
animation of the credentials, and on this
the fight commenced and is still continuing.
1t is probable that two sets Of delegates will
be chosen for Columbia.
