 WASHINGTON, May 12.-Atter the reading of the journal MT. Mckinley of Ohio moved that the general debate on the tariff bill be limited to one minute. An absence of a quorum rendered call of the house neces- ssry.
 A quorum appearing the motion was agreed to (after two roll calls) and the house went into committee of the whole on the tariff bill.
 No one desiring to occupy the one minute the clerk proceeded to read the bill by para- graph for amendments.
 MT. Breckinridge of Kentucky offered an amendment (to come in after the enacting clause) providing that any citizen of the United States who manufactures or produces articles and sells them outside of tho United States shall be ent1sied to admit free of duty any article of commerce which he may de- sire to use in his business to the value of the | articles exported.
 After explaining that his proposition was the reverse action of the old principle of re- bate MT. Breckinridge demanded tellers on his amendment and it was lost-63.111. | Mir. Anderson of Kansas offered an amend msnt providing that the president may sus- pend the rate of duty on any imported artt- ole when in his judgment the production, manufacture or aale of such article Is mo- nopolized or attempted to be monopolized. or controlled by any trust or combination. Mr. McMillin of Tennessee while advo- eating the amendment expressed his belief that it would not be agreed to. and incident | ally made an earnest attack upon trusts and com bines Nothing would be done against trusts as long ss the republicans were in the majority in the house.
 MT. Grosvenor of Ohio threw irebrand in- to the debate by the declaration that two years ago the leader of the greatest and most extortionate trust in the country came to the capitol, marched into the dark chamber of | the ways and means committee and hgura- lively took the majority of that committee by the head and shook free sugar out of it.
 MT. Mills of Texas-I want to state to the gentleman from Ohio that the statement is false Every word of it is false. Applause on democratic side.
 Mir. Grosvenor-We hear the old planta' tion slogan again. Applause on republican
 MT. Mills-You will always hear it when you deserve 1t.
 MT. Grosvenor-We hear the old Texas slogan again. A man who at the head of 2 great committee puts his name upon bill and sinks his party into oblivion ought tc get indignant. The plantation manners oi the gentleman who made the speech in New Haven will not drive me from my position
 Mir. Mills-Nobody will drive you iron l your position of faleehood.
 Nr. McMillin-Will you permit question
 Mir. Grosvsnor-Yes. if it is in parliamen tary language do not propose to be in terrupted by the shotgun policy. [Applaus' on the republican side.
 MT. McMillan-How is it that since th Mckinley bill was reported the Sugar ttIus certificates have risen more than $1O ,0OO, GOO and more than $8,000, 900 within the lss weeks Applause on the democratic eide
 Mr. Grosvenor-If the gentleman will tel me how during the pendsncy of the demo cratic majority in the house the Sugar trus was formed and the certificates reached fabu lous prices will answer his question. MT. r.McMillin-The Sugar trust and the Jut |
 inaugurated by the republican party, whicl we were unable to repeal on account of tn | republican senate.
 . Mr. .Grosvenor-Will the gentleman answe me question: Mr. McMillin-n the gentleman will ask in parliamentary language. Laughter. .sx
 Mr. Grosvenor-l will do sssetsssnds parli ing it of gentleman tYsughter.l Is it not
 amentsry asp&&ays and means committee O Q.f lk,~ ata<l I ule the day following the visit of Hr. Have meyer of New Yorkl
 MT, McMillin-'Tis not true, so far as
 know, that MT. Havemeyer was In Washing
 inzton the day before or two days before 1t
 The sugar schedule was never changed Il
 consequence of any visit of MT. Havemeyer
 Mr. Grosveuor--He did not visit your com
 mittee2
 MT. McMillin-Nevsr that heard of.
 MT. 0rosvepor-Did not he visit memb Der
 of vour committsea
 Hr. McMillin-Never that heard of. An
 all that stuff that the sugar schedule was al
 ranged in consequence of this visit is abso
 lutely false.
 MT. Mills regretted that anything of a pe1
 sopal character should have been thrown int | the debate. He had not intended 1t. H :, had intended and he intended now to discue this question as a question affectin0 th f public policy. He did not intend to assa Q any gentleman. He did not believe that an. 2 2 gentleman of the majority of the ways an e means committee had been improperly az 0 preached.
 MT. McKtnley-I do not believe that an
 member of the majority of the last hou'
 was improperly approached. Applause. 's On a vote by tellers the amendment WI
 rejected-yeas 91, nays no.
 IF After further debate, which became desu 70 70 tory in character, sometimes amustng, som t times political and sometimes bordering le the personal, the committes then rose ar \. the house at 5:45 adjourned until to moro z: at Il o'clock.
 SO oO The senate proceeded to the considerati'
 of the bill authorizing the issue of treasu 's notes on deposit of silver bullion. M a. Jones of Nevada, who reported the bill fro % the committee on finance, addressed the SC m ate. n, co He spoke of the general unrest prevaili 63 throuuhout the country.
