personal character should have been thrown
into the debate He had not intended it.
He had intended, and he intended now, TO
discuss this question as question affecting
the public policy Of the country. He did
not intend to assail any gentleman. He
did not believe that any gentleman Of the
majority Of the ways and means committee
had been improperly approached.
Mr.. McKinley-And l do not believe that
any member Of the majority Of the COM
mittee on ways and means of the last House
was improperly approached. [Applause.l
Finally the attention OF the House came
back to Dir. Anderson's amendment, and it
was adopted by vote of 81 to T6, Messrs.
Anderson and Owens of Indiana being the
only republicans voting in favor of it. The
announcement of the vote was received with
applause on the democratic side
On vote by tellers, the amendment was
rejected-ayes 81, nays ITO. the republicans
in turn greeting the announcement Of the
vote with applause.
Mr. Bland of Missouri offered an amend
ment, proposing to admit free foreign
goods when exchanged for American pro-
ducts. This was rejected by vote Of 20
ayes to 80 nays.
CHANGE IN THE DATE PROPOSED.
Mr.. Breckinridge of Kentucky offered an
amendment proposing to change the date
July l, next. to July 1, 1891; arguing that
the business interests OF the country would
be rudely disturbed il the bill were to go
into effect at once. This was rejected by a
vote of "a to 90.
The enacting clause was passed over,
and the clerk proceeded to read the dutiable
sections. He reached the second item
boracic acid, when Mr.. Niedringhaus of
Missouri proposed an amendment making
the duty on commercial acid 3 cents
instead of cents pound. The amend
ment was rejected by a vote of 63 to rs.
Mr.. Covert of New York moved TO strike
out the clause imposing duty of u cent a
pound on muriatic acid. In advocating his
amendment Mr.. Covert entered into gen
eraI criticism of the bill as not being for
the benefit of the agricultural interests.
The debate became peculiar in its char
acter, sometimes amusing, sometimes polit-
tical, and sometimes bordering on the per-
sona1, after which Mr.. Covert's motion was
lost.
A similar motion made by Mr. Covert to
strike out the duty on sulphuric acid met
with a similar fate.
The committee then rose, and the House
at As o'clock adjourned till tomorrow at

The Fact That He is a Democratic
Leader Enough for the Republicans.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Clifton R. Breck-
inridge is to be unseated as soon as the case

leaders of the house, and that is cause
enough for the republicans. The investi-
gators signally failed in their efforts to con-
meet Mr.. Breckenridge directly or
indirectly with the murder of Clayton, nor
were they able to discover who committed
the murder.

precedented in the number of examinations
made. In the thirteen days it was in

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The republican

to-day at the stories given as reasons for
the postponement of the meeting, and said
that it was strange that the newspapers
could not take the obvious explanation of
the postponement In such a small commit
tee it is necessary, he said, to have all the
members present at the meeting. On
account of the death of his father, First
Assistant Postmaster General Ciarkson
could not be present this week, and Senator
Quay himself goes to his home in Pennsyl-
vania on Thursday to be gone until
June 1. As Mr.. Fassett is to go to Califor-
MIA June the meeting will probably be
held June 2. 1t is to consider the method
of raising money, and especially Senator

and Col Dudley's proposed scheme for
evading the anti-political assessment law
and levying voluntary contributions from
