WAslrIxGToN, D. c., May 2l.-The
scene in the House this morning WAS
confusing, if not an exciting one. The
object OF members on both sides seemed
to be to oulvie each other in creating a
noise, rather than to give any intelli-
gent consideration to the Tariff bill. It
was almost impossible to understand
wha. was being said, the applause md
laughter and cries OF ""Louder" drown
ing the voices OF the speakers.
AT the usual hour the House went
into Committee OF the Whole, Mr.. Gros-
venor, OF Ohio, in the chair. Mr.. Baker,
of New York, offered M amendment
providing that all articles ofimportation
into the United States, whether en-
;braced in the free list or otherwise. shall
he subject to, and pay no less rate OF
duty than il or may be imposed by the
country Of export on like articles ex-
ported into the United States, This
amendment, he said, was in the interest
OF good government. !.
MIR. Anderson, OF Kansas, opposed the
amendment on the ground that it would
place it .in the power Of tho Canadian
government to regulate the tariff Of the
United States. 7.s
Mr.. Butterwortl, Of Ohio, also opposed
it, saying itwould wreck the interchange
of commodities between the United
States and every other country, aud
would work 4 great hardship upon the
people. He regretted that tho members
Of tho Ways and Means Committee had
taken up all Of tho limited time Of the
House with amendments to the exclu'
sion OF that free conference which was
necessary. E.
Mr.. Brewer, Of Michigan, said the time
for debate had been frttered away by
the other side. El
Mr. Farquhar, Of New York, protested
against the protection given to barley:
sg For fully huff m hour before noon thu
House was in the greatest confusion, ant
4 when, one minute before I2 O'Clock, MIR
Mckinley yielded tho remaining tim,
to MIR. Frank, OF Missouri, the excite
nent became so great that the.noise wa
almost deafening, and Mr.. Franks voic'
could not be heard six feet from wher'
he stood. 5s &.
N Suddenly, out OF the hubbub, aros'
the clear, loud voice Of Mr.. Mckinley
calling: ,"Alr. Chairman! Mr.. Chail
mani" Quiet reigned in moment, ant
the Republican leader called the atten
ton OF tho Chairman to the fact that !:
O'Clock, the hour agreed upon for th'
jjrht vote on the bill to be taken, had ar
rived. He moved that the committed
rico aud report the bill to tho House.
