 The Amendments Non-Concurred iu by Vote of 12O to S2-BfIls PasseS by the Senate.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 16.-Mr Nc kinley of Ohio, from the committee or ways and means, reported back the tariff bill with senate amendments with tn, recommendation that the amendments b, non-concurred in. Referred to the com mittee of the whole.
 Mir. Mckinley then offered a resolution from the committee on rules. Before il could be read MT. Enloe of Tennessee rose to question of privilege. He offered the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the clerk of the house of rep senate the fact that the house reprobates and condemns the utterances of the Hon. Robert B. RsIa RHssnInedy, S rsPresentstive from the state of necting upon the character and integrity of the senate as body.
 MT. Dingley of Maine raised the point of order that this did not present such ques- ton of privilege as would take the gentle man from Ohio (Mr. Mckinley from the floor.
 At the suggestion of the speaker Mir Enloe withdrew his resolution for the pres ent and MT. McKinley-from the commit tee on rules, reported resolution for the immediate consideration of the tariff bill in the house. After two hours general debate it shall be in order to non-concur in the senate amendments in gross and agree to the committee of conference 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 116, nays Fl.
 Mir. Blount of Georgia protested against the resolution, contending that it was a parody on deliberation.
 MT. McMillin of Tennessee also opposed the resolution and criticised the committed on rules for reporting it. The majority in caucus had determined not only that the minority should be throttled, but that the Plumed Knight should be throttled. The resolution was then adopted-yeas IA, nays 72.
 MT. Mckinley of Ohio gave very brief statement of the senate amendments, but entered into no argument as to their pro- priety or impropriety.
 MT. Flower of New York said that the estimated revenue for the year was s45O, 900. This congress had appropriated $461 ,000,0 What was the need of this tariff bil1s Why not leave the present law as it was, with an amendment for recipro- city which meant reciprocity and not one of these jumping jacks, the string of which the president could pull at any time. He charged the republican majority with demoralizing business. He believed that the pending bill was demoralizing the country, and would demoralize it still further. The true business of this con- gress was to economize to cheese pare, if necessary to cut down the expenditures of the government, so that they should equal the resources, and no more. That was duty and that was business.
 MT. McRoe of Arkansas opposed the bill both in it's original form, and as an amendment on the general ground that ii discriminated against the farming in. dustry.
 MT. Farquhar of New York, in behalf of the millions of her people, who inhabited cities on the northern lakes hoped that the senate amendments in regard to the duty on fish would would be voted down
 MT. Payson of Illinois thought that in various respects the bill as it passed the senate was preferable to the measure as il passed the house. He spoke in favor oi the senate amendment placing binding twine on the free list, and said that he would be delighted if vote could be had upon concurring on that amendment He was republican. He was believer il republican principles. He believed in tho theory of protection, but he did not be ieve in a theory of protection which put upon the dutiable list an article the raw material of which was absolutely free of duty and the manufacture of whicl was in the hands of combination which could be indicted under the act passed by the present congress After protesting against the placing of works of art upoI the free list, he touched upon the sugar question, and hoped that the house would stand by its schedule. The Illinois repub lican delegation in the house had reason tt feel satisfied in the position it had as sumed. It had unanimously adopted resolution that sugar at the grade of Il Dutch standard and below should go ol the free list.
 He proposed and thought he spoke fo his republican colleagues from Illinois t, stand by the sugar for the poor consume l to the end of the session. He was read, | to stand here and stay until the just de ultiloS Ol du luttlliScut constituency WtN | met and satisfied.
 MT. Morse of Massachusetts character ized as absolutely and unqualifedly fals the statement that there was bindin | twlne trust.
 MT. Turner of Georgia criticised Mir. Pay sons action in voting for the resolution looking to non-concurrence in all tn | senate amendments and then coming be l fore the house and whining for free bind ing twine.
 was mistaken. He had voted against tn
 resolution, and instead of speakin
 whiningly he had spoken rather defiantly
 MT. Turner then proceeded to attack tn
 methods by which the republican majorit
 rushed business through the house.
 Mir. Wheeler of Alabama inveighe
 against the inconsiderate haste in whic
 measure which involved every business il
 terest in the country.
 Mir. Vaux of Pennsylvania said that tn
 country was looking to the house for n
 intelligent discussion of the tariff que
 tion But he rose not to say one woI
 on the subject but for the purpose of try
 ing to inform the people that the republ
 can party forbade the right of represent
 ton in the house in the American col
 gress. He wanted the people to und
 stand that free speech was gone in Il
 house.
 The discussion was further continu,
 by Messrs Herbert of Alabama, Price
 Louisianna, Kerr of Iowa, Mudd of Mar ] land, Chandler of Massachusetts, Bucha an of New Jersey and Adams of Ilinoi
 Mir Cummings of New York said tn he was an unwilling passenger on the N : Kinley tariff congressional limited expre train. The down east engineer and t buckeye conductor were running t train on their own hook and in defiance the will of the people. He uttered his pI r test against it. That was all he was [ lowed to do.
 Mir Mckinley said that if the commit v on rules had erred in reporting the resol l. ton it erred in giving too much time
 debate He invited the attention of t
 house to the fact that not fifteen minu :, Of the two hours has been devoted to t discussion of the senate amendments or n the tariff question at all. The methods | the majority were known to the count J. The trouble with the members on the otl a side was that they did not discuss me @ ures but called names, and while u @ were calling names the majority had go tt on and done more public business tf # had been done by any house since If Esfoundation of the government.
