| lin. in supporting the bill, referred to the
| occurrences at Homestead. These occur
/ reuces, he said, showed that the present
tariff, instead Of increasing the wages of
labor, as had been claimed by the Repub-
| licans, had decreased them. Did any man
/ deny itl
Mr.. Dalzen of Pennsylvania most en-
| phatically denied it.
Mr.. McMillin again declared that the
| wages Of labor had decreased, and again
| Mr.. Dalzell entered denial, experimenting
it with 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 sub
| stantiate his statement, and added that it
| was the gentleman from Pennsylvania 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 repub-
licans had promised that wages would be in
| creased That this promise had not been
! fulfilled had been shown, and the repub-
| licans 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 talkl
Mr. Dalzell replied that he had not done
so because he had believed that there was
not man 80 mean as to gloat over the
| dying 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
minute, but il was half a minute Of a good
deal OF excitement Both gentlemen spoke
a. 40,
to those who were in their immediate
vicinity, but as their auditors broke into
applause the clapping Of hands was in
fictitious, and this, together with the loud
rapping OF the speakers gavel for order,
threw the House into much confusion.
The bill was passed by vote Of 207 yeas
TO Sc nays.
THE LEAD ORE BILL.

pend the rules and pass the lead ore bill.
After all resources for delay had been ex-
hausted by the republicans under the lead
of Messrs. Burrows and Reed, motion TO
suspend the rules and pass the bill was
agreed to by a vote of l65 yeas to 62 nays.
Mr.. Reed Immediately rose to bis feet
with a motion to adjourn, but the speaker
| recognized Mr. WhitinR for a motion TO
suspend the rules
Mr.. Reed suggested that he had made his
motion-whieh was sprivileged one-before
the gentleman from Michigan had risen,
but the speaker replied in a pleasant man
ner that the question of recognition rested
with the speaker, which the gentleman
from Maine would thoroughly understand.
The gentleman from Maine smiled smile
OF understanding and made no effort to pre-
vent Mr.. Writings recognition, and that
gentleman moved to suspend the rules and
pass the bill limiting TO 500 the value Of
wearing apparel which may be admitted
free of duty.
The speaker then recognized Mr.. Reed to
move an adjournment. His motion was
lost by a vote of 20 yeas to 1Sl nays.
Mr.. Reed demanded a second on the
motion to suspend the rules.

Mr.. MoRae's motion was agreed to after
running q gauntlet of filibusters.
Meantime, the hour of O'Clock had ar
rived, and the point was raised on the re-
publican side that under the rules the
speaker must declare the usual Friday re-
cess until o'clock tonight.
The speaker said that the House had
adopted an order substituting to-day as sus-
pension day instead of Monday, July 4, and
he did not think 1t within his power to de-
| clare recess.
However. he submitted the question to
vote of the House. 'Shall the chair declare

that he should not, and motions to suspend
the rules and pass bills continued
