WASHINGTON, D. G. Sept. 30.-The house
bill to promote the administration of JUS
tice in the army was reported and passed
with verbal amendment.
| Mr.. Daniel, by request of Mr.. George
Jones, chairman of the greenback party,
introduced bill (Which was referred to
the finance committee) to enable the gov
eminent to pay debts, pensions and salar-
| les by issuing legal tender notes now as it
did during the civil war until the volume
| of money shall revive business and give
permanent prosperity to the American
| people.
The conference report on the tariff bill
was then taken up and Mr.. Carlisle adj
| dressed the senate.
Mr.. Carlisle spoke for nearly three
fhours, and at the close of his speech some
of his statements and figures were chal-
lenged by Mr.. Aldrich.
Mr. Allison also criticised several of
Mr.. Carlisles statements and denied their
accuracy.
Mr. Gray said that he had intended to
address the senate on the conference re-
port, but that the able and exhaustive
| argument of the senator from Kentucky
made him disinclined to occupy the time
| of the senate. He deprecated, however,
| the indecent haste with which this i'm
portant measure was being hurried to a
! vote.
During a suspension of Mr.. Grays re-
| marks the house bill to enable the post
master general to test at small towns and
villages the practicability of the free de-
livery system was passed.
The report of the government directors
of the Union Pacific railroad was presented
and referred to the select committee on the
Pacific railroads.
A concurrent resolution from the house
directing the clerk of the house to have the
tariff bill enrolled with the paragraphs
consecutively numbered was laid before
| the senate and Mr. Aldrich moved to amend
| it by directing the clerk to engross two
paragraphs (35s aud 262) in a certain cor
rected manner, as agreed to in conference
These paragraphs apply to binding Irvine
and to collars and cuffs.
The concurrent resolution went over for
| the present.
Mr.. Gray then concluded his remarks
] against the bill
| ference bill, although it did not come up
| to his standard in all respects
Mr.. Aldrich closed the discussion. He
| congratulated the senate and the country
| upon approaching the close of the long and
l wearisome struggle over the tariff bill.
/ He admitted that there had been increases
of duty made in the bill and he would
/ show their character. They were of four
classes. The first class might be better de-
| scribed a correction of errors and irreg-
| ularities rather than as an increase of
rates. To this class belonged tin plate
| and cotton ties, whereby an erroneous
construction of the law or by bad legisla-
ton the duty on one article had been put
at lower rate than the duty on cor
| responding or similar articles Another
and more important class consisted of
industries or articles which it had not
been supposed when the tariff law
of 1888 was passed could be made in
the United States, and on which proteo-
tive duties had not been levied. 1t in
cludes all the finer manufactures in the
cotton schedule such as must in cotton vel
vets and embroideries, in the flax and
linen schedule and in the iron and steel
schedule, The third class consisted of
| articles on which heretofore small ad valo-
1
items of no great consequence and they
have never received special attention here
tofore in the construction of tariff bills.
There remained but one other class-the
class of agricultural products. This has
| been done at the demand of the representa-
| tives of agriculture and at the demand of
the farmers of the country who believed
| that the large importation in the aggregate,
though prehaps not large relatively, had
injured and was injuring that great INDUS
try. These four comprehended every in
crease of duty made in the bill
| At the close of Mr.. Aldrich's remarks
the senate proceeded to vote by yeas and
nays on the conference report. The first
: break in the party ranks was made when
Mr.. Paddockis name was called. He said
that he was paired with Mr.. Eustis, but as
Mr. Eustis would have voted no he would
| vote no. The next break came immedi-
ately afterwards, when Mr.. Pettigrew's
name was called. He said that he was
paired with Mr.. Call, but as Mr. Call would
have voted no he would vote no. The thirG
:. and last break was when Mr.. Plumb (aftel
all other senators had voted stood up ant
his name having been called voted no.
