WASHINGTON, Moy 21.-The Demo
Gratis stood manfully by their guns to-
day and voted solidly against the Nc
Kinley tariff bill. They we're beaten,
but they made a record on which they
can proudly go before the country. The
Republicans, with two exceptions
FeatherstOne, OF Arkansas, and Cole
man, of Louisiana-we whipped into
line, and voted for a measure which
they knew to be mOnstrous in its pur-
pose. None knew this better than the
Minnesota members, but the names of
Lind, COmstock, Snider, Dunneu and
Hall are recorded for the bill.
For fully half an hour before noon
the house was in the great
est confusion, and when, one minute
before 12 o'clock, Mr.. Mckinley yielded
the remaining time to Mr.. Frank, of
Missouri, the excitement became so
great that the noise was almost deafen-
ing and Mr. Franks voice could not be
heard six feet from where he stood.
Suddenly. out of the hubbub arose the
clear, loud voice of Mr.. Mckinley, call
ing: "Mr. Chairmani Mr.. Chalrman!'
Quiet reigned in a moment, and the Re
publican leader called the attention Of
the chairman to the fact that II o'clock
The Hour Agreed Upon
for the first vote on the bill to be taken
had arrived. He moved that the COM
mittee rise and report the bill to the
house. This ceremony having been
performed by the chairman of the
whole, Mr.. GrOsvenOr, of Ohio, Speaker
Reed recognized Mr.. Mckinley, who, in
deliberate tones, demanded the previous
question. and moved the third reading
and engrOssment of the bill. Division
was demanded by Mr.. Bland, of
Missouri, and the speaker, after
counting. declared that 1873 had voted
in the affirmative aud l2S in the mega
tive. Then the yeas and nays were de-
manded by Mr.. Mckinley. The speaker
nays 143. Mr.. Coleman, Of Louisiana,
and Mr.. FeatherstOne, of Arkansas,
Republicans, voted with the Democrats
against the adoption of the motion. Mr..
Butterworth, of Ohio, and Mr.. Adams,
of Illinois, refrained from voting. When
the result of the ballot had been an
nounced, Mr. Mckinley arose and asked
the gentleman of the minority to name
the amendments offered by the ways
and means committee as they were
read, on which ballots we're desired.
Mr.. Carlisle said that the minority de-
sired votes only on those amendments
which made increases of duty. The
clerk then began TO read amendments.
When he reached that increasing the

with the Democrats against the in

amendment under misapprehension,
and therefore changed his vote. The
speaker then announced that the yeas
were $50, the nays 149. Applause from
the Democrats greeted the announce
ment of this vote, which came so near
being a Democratic victory. Messrs.
ButterWorth, Flick, Henderson of
Iowa, Kelly, Mason, McComas, Mudd,
and Taylor, of Illinois, voted with
the Democrats. When the ways and
means amendment making yarn made
of iute dutiable at 35 instead of 80 per
cent, was read, Mr.. Carlisle asked for a
vote. 1t was explained that by typo
graphical error jute yarn was made
dutiable in the bill at 80 per cent. when
the ways and means committee had in
tended that it should be dutiable at 81
per cent. The Democrats, however, de-
cided to take advantage of the error
and called for a vote. Mr.. Mckinley

amendment the yeas were 149, nays
