WASHINGTON, May 17.-In the House to

Mr.. Mckinley of Ohio, asked that the
committee proceed as promptly as possible
to act upon the amendments offered by the
committee on ways and means, then others
who had substantial benefits to offer might
be recognized. The pending amendment,
which fixes a duty of 60 cents a square
yard and 40 per cent ad valorem on orien-
tai, Berlin and similar runs, was agreed to.
Mr.. Bynum of Indiana, argued that the
protective tariff on raw wool had destroyed
the manufacture of woolen goods, and driy-
en- the manufacturer to make shoddy,
thereby destroying the industry OIL wool
growing. -,...,s .,o
Mr.. Caruth of Kentucky criticised, the
bill. and referred to the "rising son" OF

Mr.. O'Neill of Massachusetts,. as North

the passage of the bill. He did not douD'
that the gentlemen who drafted the. bill en-
deavored to benefit all their friends. Bu'
they overlooked the manufacturers OF New
England. The manufacturers of New
England had contributed their share OF th'
fat in the last campaign, and were entitled
to some little consideration. They hat
asked for free coal because, without it, thei
fires must be banked. They had asked TO
free iron because, without it. their irol

amendments were disposed of.
