The house Of representatives never looked
more like disorganized mob than the ten
minutes preceding the time fixed for the
vote on the tariff bill to-day. More than
lOO men were cndeavoring to talk at the
same time, and the other 100 were engaged
IN an effort to cry them down. Every mo-

had no time to talk, but would extend Il Acir

Dunnell of Minnesota, who took exception
to several portions of the bill. The hot,se

Reed took charge and soon restored ou ct

of the manufacturer. -Four Minnesota
members, all except Snider, voted against
the amendments. The Minnesota members
were much concerned over the amend
