HOT TIME In THE HOUSE.

Dalzsll and McMiIlin Make 1t Pretty Lively
| for Couple of Siinutes-Big Majority
for the Tin Plate Bill - other Bill,
Passed.
| WASHINGTON, July S.-The filibuster.
ing of the Republicans in the House to-day
against suspension day was not very vigor-
GUS and was not pressed. The tin plate
bill, the lead ore bill and the bill to limit
the amount of wearing apparel which trav-
elers may bring into this country free of
duty were passed under suspension day, the
Democrats having larger number of men,
bers present than they have had for months
] The vote on the tin plate bill was: Yeas
2o7; nays, Sc. A bill was passed amending
the land forfeiture bill of 1890. There were
lowering clouds over the bill providing q
| local government for Utah, but, although
there were some flashes of lightning, it was
finally passed without injury, as was also
the bill regulating car coupling. Lacking
| a quorum on the California debris bill the
House adjourned
During the debate on the tin plate bill
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, referred to the
occurrences at Homestead. These occur
rences, he said, showed that the present
tariff, instead of increasing the wages of
licans, had decreased them. Did any man
deny it?
Da zen Denies the Accusation.
Mr.. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, most en-
phatically denied it.
Mr. McMillin again declared that the
wages of labor had decreased, and again Mr.
Dalzell entered denial, supplementing it
with a declaration that the gentleman did
not know what he was talking about
Mr.. McMillin referred the gentleman to
the statement made by Mr. Frick to SUBJ
stan late his statement, and added that 1t
was the gentleman himself who did not
know what he was talking about
Mr.. Dalzell responded that he undertook
to satisfy any fair and intelligent man in
the House that the unfortunate affair at
Homestead had nothing to do with the tariff
question.
Mr.. McMillin retorted that the Republi-
cans had promised that wages would be in
creased. That this promise had not been
fulfilled had been shown, and the Republi-
cans were sensitive when the failure was
commented upon. If the gentleman from |
Pennsylvania desired to maintain that the |
promise had been fulfilled, why had he not |
got up and done so when he had an oppor- |
tunity to talk?
Gloating Over the Victims Corpses.
Mr. Dalzell replied that he had not done
so, because he had believed that there was
not man so mean as to gloat over the dy-
ing men at Homestead.
Mr.. McMillin retorted that any man who
accused another of gloating over the affair
at Homestead could be truthfully accused
of falsehood.
This dialogue did not last over half min
ute, but il was half minute of good deal
of excitement and threw the House into
much confusion.
The lead ore bill provides that ores con-
tanning silver and lead, in which the value
of the silver contents shall be greater than
the value of the lead contents according to
sample and assay at the port of entry, shall
be exempt from duty
The land forfeiture bill extends the for
'eiture to the portions of the roads which
ire uncompleted when the time expired
within which the roads were required to be
