PASSED THE HOUSE
McKinley's Tariff Bill Adopt
ed by Nearly a Strict
Party Vote.
One Republican and an INDIE
pendent Labor UniOnist
With the Opponents.

| WASHINGTON, Special telegram
| The house of Representative es never looked
more like disorganized mob than the ten
minutes preceding the time fixed for the
vote on the tariff bill to-day More than
100 men were endeavoring to talk at the
same time, and the. other 200 were engaged
in an effort to cry them down. Every mo-
ment some one would announce that they
had no time to talk, but would extend their
remarks in the Record. Among these were
Dunnell of Minnesota, who took exception
| to several portions of the bill. The house
was in wild state of disorder when Speaker
| Reed took charge and soon restored quiet
and the vote on the bill and the amend
ments was proceeded with. There were
some Republicans who could not be heldin
line when some of the proposed amend
ments were being voted upon. Upon the
change on tin plate Lind of Minnesota flew
the track. Mckinley came over and saw
him and before the announcement he
changed his vote, making the announce
ment that he voted under the apprehension
that the duty would be increased by the
change, when in fact it would be decreased.
Mr.. Lind's vote
| SAVED THE AMENDMENT,
as it carried by one majority. The other
Republicans, Kerr of Iowa and Thomas of
Wisconsin, were induced to change their
votes by Mr.. Mckinley. Butterworth and
Henderson of Iowa bolted on several
amendments, but all came to the front and
voted on the last roll call, the only Repub-
| lican vote against the bill being Coleman of
Louisiana, whose sugar growing constitu-
ents could not stand tree sugar. Feather
ston of Arkansas, independent labor union,
also voted with the Democrats. Two COM
mittee amendments were lost both in the
wool schedules. They were in the interest
of the manufacturer. -Four Minnesota
members, all except Snider. voted against
1 the amendments. The Minnesota members
were much concerned over the amend
ment relating to vinegar, which was
in the interests of manufacturers in that
state. Several Republicans voted against
it, but to no purpose. Representatives Gift
ford and Picker of South Dakota voted
with the committee on every proposition
on the tariff bill to-day. They were salts
fed with the bill as whole. So was Hans
] brough of North Dakota, who says the
present bill is the best that could be passed
| for his state. Carter of Montana, Wilson
OF Washington and Hermann of Oregon
all voted with Mai. Mckinley for his bill
and all the amendments. In fact, in COM
mittee of the whole these Northwestern
members stood by the Republican major
/ ity, and when the vote came to-day they
were still ready to
WAVE THE PROTECTION BANNER.
The bill is through the house, and while
1t is not satisfactory in all particulars to the
| men who voted for it. and while nearly
every member would have amended it in
some particular. it goes to the senate nearly
as it came from the committee on ways and

was that it was in full accord with the Re-
/ publican platform of 1888 and that platform
/ was read to prove the assertion. In this
| connection it is well to remember that Nc
Kinley of Ohio drew the tariff plank in
! the platform and it was the same Mckinley
who drew the tariff bill. The most wonder
| full thing in the passage ofthe bill is the
organization of the Republicans in the
lower house. The manner in which the
leaders had them together and Sc
cured every vote but one is one of
lation. Several Leading men few the track
at several times, but all came in under the
wire together and put through tariff bill
that in some particulars was bitterly OBJ
noxious to many who voted for it. 1t is
claimed tonight that Mckinley is entitled
to great credit TOR framing bill that all
Republicans save one could vote for, and
people are divided as to whether he or
Speaker Reed is the greater genius in the
management of members of congress. yet
both in their particular lines are awarded
the banner.
| WOULD BE ''KEEL-HAULED."
Ben Butterworth, who made a strong
speech against the Mckinley bill in the
house was asked in few moments before
| the vote if he would vote tor the bill. and
replied that he would because he knew it
would be s'keel-hauled" and reframed and
| IN fno 20 haf
be recognized as it was passed A great
many Republicans stood by their party on
the same ground, fearing to oppose the
bill because the Republican managers in
the house might revenge themselves by de-
feating many private bills that they have
pending. Representative Carter of Mon
tana has been receiving many congratulate
tory kilograms from Montana and other
mining sections expressing gratificat: on at
the lead schedule in the tariff bill. The
smelter men have not ceased the hight and
every effort will be made to strike out the
provision against Mexican lead when con-
sidered in the senate.
WOODEN AND woRsTED GOODS.
The amendment providing that on wooden
and worsted goods and all manufactures
of wool and worsted not otherwise pro-
yided for, valued at not more than 80 cents
per pound, there shall be imposed duty

unwashed wool of the first class and 90
per cent ad valoren1, was rejected-yeas, 143;
nays, lag. This leaves the duty at twice the
duty on unwashed wool and 40 per cent
] I'D valorem. The Republicans who
voted with the Democrats, on the

ments were: anderson of Kansas, Com
stock, Dolliver, DunneH, Feathelstone
Flick, Henderson of Iowa, Kerr of Iowa,
Lacey, Lind, Struble, Sweeney and Taylor
of Illinois. The amendment to the para
graph imposing a duty of so per cent ad

specially provided for, providing that all
such manufactures of which wool or hair
OF the camel goat or other like animals is a
component material, shall be classified as
manufactures of wool, was agreed to--yeas

commit the bill to the committee on ways
and means with instructions. Defeated

of the house, the Democratic applause being
derisive in its character.
