HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Mr. McKin-
ley of Ohio, from the committee on
ways and means, reported back the
tariff bill with the senate amendments,
with the recommendation that the
amendments be non concurred in. Re-
ferred TO committee of the whole.
Mr.. Mckinley, from the committee on
rules, reported resolution for the I'M
mediate consideration of the tariff bill in

debate it shall be in order to move to
non-concur in the senate amendments in

ference asked for by the senate, and the
house shall without further delay or
other motion proceed to vote on said
motion.
The previous question on the resolution
was ordered-yeas, ZIG; nays, Il.
Mr.. Blount of Georgia protested
against the resolution and criticised the
committee on rules for reporting 1t.
The rasOlntion was than odnDtpd-
ia; nays, ~.
MIR. Mckinley gave very brief state
ment of the senate amendments, but en-
tered no argument as TO their propriety
or improperly.
McRae of Arkansas opposed the bill
both in its original form and as amended
on the ground that 1t disseminated against
the farming industry.
Payson of Illinois thought that in va
rious respects the bill as it passed the
senate was preferable to the measure as
it passed the house. After protesting
against the placing of works of art on
the free list he touched upon the sugar
question and hoped that the house would
stand by its schedule. The Illinois Re-
publican delegation in the house had
reason to feel satisfied in the position it
had assumed.
Vaux of Pennsylvania wished to say
to the farmer and to the Iaborer that
this tariff bill was q cheat.
MIR. Cummings of New York said he
was an unwilling passenger on the Nc
Kinley tariff congressional limited ex-
press train.
Referring to the charge that the bill is
a sectional one, Mr.. Mckinley said that
there was not q single paragraph in the |
bill that was sectional in its character,
not one. This is called a sectional bill.
Now what has this bill done? 1t has
taken care.of every product in the South, |
unless you except sugar.
Several members on the Republican |
side-It has taken care of that.
Mr.. McKinley-And it has given to |
producers of sugar bounty equal to the |
duty they have been enjoying. Take |
anything produced in the South and |
look through our bill, and you will find |
in syery particular it has the same need |
Of protection that we have given to the |
industries of the North.
The senate amendments were non
In-yeas, l20; nays, 50.
Mr.. Enloe then called up his resolu-
ton in regard to Mr.. Kennedy's speech
Of September 8.
MT. 0TOSNeuOT Ol lOWa Tdlseu point
Of order that the resolution was not in
order. The time to have called the gen.
.lemau from Ohio (Mr. Kennedy to or
Ter was when that gentleman delivered
his speech. The gentleman could not
low be called to order for his utter
inces.
Mr.. Enloe contended that the point
vas well taken. 1t was a question that
effects the dignity of the house and in
egrity of the senate. The gentleman
rom Ohio (Kennedy) had no more right
C make q personal attack upon a mem
Der of the senate than he (Mr. Enloe)
lad to state the speaker was corrupt or
he president was criminal. He then

extracts from Kennedy's speech, as it
appeared in the Record this morning.

hat no utterances or reflections upon

United States Record.
MIR. Bayne OF Pennsylvania said that
e concurred in the remarks of the gen.
leman from Tennessee.
Mr.. Grosyenor said that he had made
he point of order because he believed
