IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, September 18TH I'm the House
Mckinley reported back the tariff bill with Sem
ate amendments, with a recommendation that
the amendments be non concurred in. Referred
to Committee OF the Whole.
Mckinley then offered a resolution from the
Committee on Rules, but before it could be read
Enloe rose to question of privilege and offered
the following:
Resolped, That the Clerk of the House be di.
rected to communicate to the Senate the fact
that the House refutes and condemns the utter
ance of Robert P. Kennedy delivered in the
House September Sd, rejecting upon the char
acter and integrity of the Senate as body.
Dingley raised the point of order that this did
not present such a question of privilege as
would take Mckinley from the floor
AT the suggestion of the Speaker, Euloe with
drew the resolution for the present, and Nc
kinney reported resolution for the immediate
consideration of the tariff bill in the House.
After two hours of general debate it shall be
in order TO move q non concurrence in Senate
amendments in gross, and agree to the commit
tee of conference asked for by the Senate aud
the House shall, without further delay or other
motion, proceed to vote on said motion. The
previous question on the resolution was or
dered-yeas l76, nays IL.
Blount of Georgia protested against the reso-
luton, contending that it was a parody on de-
Liberation.
Mcmillan of Tennessee also opposed the reso-
luton and criticised the Committee on Rules
for repeating it. The majority in caucus deter
mined not only that the minority should be
tbrottled, but that the Plumed knight should
be throttled.
The resolution was adopted-yeas ia, nays 72
Mckinley gave brief statement of the Senate
amendments.
McRae of Arkansas opposed the bill both in
its original form aud rs amended, on the gen.
eral gronnd that it Disseminated against the
farming industry.
spects the bill as passed by the Senate was pre-
ferable to the measure rs it passed the House.
He spoke in favor of the Senate bill, and said
he meant to place binding-twiDe on the free
list. he was a believer IN Republican princi-
Piles, but did not believe in hasty theory of
protection which put on the dutiable list arti-
cles of raw material which were absolutely free
of duty, and the manufacture of which was in
the hands of q combination which could be in
dicted under an Act passed by the present Con-
gress. After protesting against the placing of
works of art upon the free list. he touched upon
the sugar question: and hoped the House would
stand by its schedule.
Vaughn of Pennsylvania wished to say to the
farmers aud lahorers that this tariff bill was
cheat. The majority believed in every trust
save one-trust in righteous and just God.
Mckinley said that If the Committee on Rules
had erred in reporting the resolution. it had
erred in giving too much time for debate. He
called the attention of the House to the fact
that not fifteen minutes of the two hours had
been devoted to the discussion of the Senate
amendments, or to tariff at all. The trouble
with the members on the other side was that
they did not discuss the measure, but called
names. and while they were doing this the ma
jority had gone on and done more public busi-
ness than had been done by any House of Rep
resentatiyes since the formation of the Govern
ment.
The Senate amendments were non-concurred
iIi-ayes 40, noes 50.
Enloe then called up his resolution in regard
to Kennedy's speech.
Grossvenor of Ohio raised point of order
that the resolution was not in order-the time
to have called Kennedy to order was when he
delivered his speech.
Enloe contended that Kennedy had no more
right to make q personal attack upon member
OF the Senate than he (Enloe) had to state that
the speaker was corrupt, or the President q
criminal. 1t was due to the House that no utter
snces rejecting upon the Senate should be ad-
mitted into the Record.
Boyne, OF Pennsy lvsnia. concurred in the
remarks. IT Enloe had trusted to the interest
of what was right, of what was due to the
House in honor to itself, it was no technicality,
and should be allowed to come in the way of
condemning the utterances OF the gentleman
from Ohio
Grosvenor said that he made the point of or
der because he believed that whatever action
the House took should be in the regular way,
by report from the committee.
Boyne offered an amendment to Enloe's reso-
luton. directing the Public Printer to exclude
KenAedy's speech from the Record
Adams, OF Illinois, spoke in favor of Fnloe Is
resolution and, pending action, the House, on
motion of Mckinley, adjourned.
