When the committee met this morning to
begin work upon the Mckinley bill. under the
resolution adopted on Tuesday, there was
general feeling that some sort OF a surprise
was in store for Messrs Sherman and Morrill,.

then became apparent to all present that
| nothing could be accomplished as the Demo-
Gratis opposed every suggestion which the Ro-
publcans made. Finally. Messrs Carlisle and
| Voorhees, called attention to the fact that it
was utterly useless to waste valuable time. and

make some Roadway. Thereupon Mr. Hiscock
offered a resolution providing that the
Republicans and the Democrats on the
committee prepare separate bills. or

one and acquaint the Democrats with the
progress OF their work step by stop SO that
they could act accordingly. The resolution SIM

embarrassment of having tho Democrats pres

and made vigorous opposition to it. He saw
at once that clever trap had been laid for
him, and that he could only keep out OF its
clutches by having the Democrats remain at
his side. His opposition had little effect. how
