Portion of tho Session to the Tariff
wAsH1SoroS, D. O., August 1.-The
Congressional Record although published
before midnight Saturday could not be
delivered in the house to-day owing to
alack Of appropriation to pay messen-
gers, drivers OF the government print
ing Office aud others whose duty it is to
transport the publication from the office
to the capitol.
The public gallery was we'll filed this
morning principally by employees OF the
printing office who arc having an en-
| forced vacation, but in the house itself,
tho law was not so rigorously complied
with. The appropriation for the light
ing OF the capitol, and other public
buildings is carried In the sundry civil
bill, and although the appropriations
havs lapsed the court rooms were
| illuminated. One hundred and forty
six members responded to their names
on roll cal, this being twenty.one short
OF quorum. On motion Of Mr.. Nc.
Millin, Of Tennessee, call OF the house
was ordered. An exact quorum. l67
members, responded.
Mr.. Holman then rose to move a s1s-
pension Of the rules, but before his
proposition was read Mr.. Hopkins, OF
| illinois, made the point Of order that
the previous question having been
ordered on the Senate amendment to
the sundry civil appropriation bill, the
motion to suspend was not now in
order. The Speaker oyerruled the point
OF order, and quoted from ruling made
by Speaker Reed, in justification OF his
Mr. Hopkins said that he had not
always regarded Speaker Reeds rulings
as sound, and lle was not inclined to
except to them.
Mr.. Bingham said that the Worlds
Fair amendment came from the senate
duly under the rules OF the senate and
became part Of the sundry civil bill.
It was not contended in the house that
the Worlds Fair amendments were not
a part of the bill. The conterees on
the part Of the house had been in
structed to resist the amendments
without providing for the fair. AS
surances are given, however, by mem
bers OF the appropriation committee
that the committee has no such inten-
tion.

consideration. Az to, whether it was
his intention to tilibuster was a ques-
tion for the gentleman TO answer to the
house, the people and the country.
That it had that result was the best evl-
dence and conclusion. He, Mr.. Bing-
ham, did not believe that there was any
purpose on the Republican side to'de-
iayo obstruct the conduct OF the gov
ernment for the next few days. But it
must be understood that house hav-
ing Democratic majority OF 100, capa-
BILE OF conducting the business OF the
government without vote from the
Republican side, must be responsible
10 the people for the conduct OF public
affairs. No responsibility could rest on
the Republican party.
Mr.. Holman, OF Indiana, said that the
gentleman from Pennsylvania was
aware Of the tact that the Senate in de-
fiance Of the rules had placed the
Worlds Fair amendment on the appro-
priation bill. The gentleman from Illi-
nois, Mr.. Hopkins, was willing to stop
the wheels OF legislationfor the purpose
OF compelling the house to give 5000
900 to a corporation in Chicago. Both
in time OF peace and in time OF war he
had heard the proposition made to ex.
tend appropriations and never until
now had he heard il objected to.
Mr.. Mc0reary, OF Kentucky, spoke in
opposition to the Worlds Fair appro-
priation. Chicago he said did not ask
4 loan. II asked that Congress pass a
bill which made tho government q
Joint stockholder in q private corpora
Mr. Reed, of Maine. said the gentle:
man from Indiana, Mr.. Holman, had
afforded an example Of unspealable
courage which enabled him oface un-
tlinchingly q situation OF this kind.
| With O Democratic majority of more
than lao, OF which he was tho factional
leader, the house OF representatives
had stopped the business OF tho gov
ernment and now no was endeavoring
to charge this stoppage to somebody
else. He, Mr.. Holman, himself had
led, il not openly, coyertly, this rebell-
] ion against good government. He had
deliberately blocked the wheels Of
business, and he charged i now upon
somebody else. The Worlds Fair leg
islation had received the sanction OF
tho senate without regard to party. The
gentleman from Indiana had the
courage 70 stand before the house and
testify and charge the result Of his own
action to another member. To charge
lin tone Of amaEement) in q house
with 40 Democratic majority the stop
ping OF public business to q member
OF the minority. lie did not wonder
that the gentleman from Indiana had
had long career. Courage like that
carried man through Indiana. There
was 40 majority; the appropriation
had the sanction OF both houses OF
Congress, and yet the business of the
country was to be stopped and some.
body else" was to be charged with the
crime. [Applausel,
Mr.. Cummings, Of New York, declared
that the wheels Of government has been
stopped by tho objection OF Republi-
can, Mr.. Hopkins, Of Illinois.
Mr.. Hopkins, OF Illinois, said that
next to the gentleman from Indiana,
the gentleman from New York, was the
most responsible for the condition in
which tho house found itself to-day.
Mr.. Mcmillan, OF Tennessee. asserted
that the gentleman from Illinois had
caused tho wheels Of government to
