a long discussion took place during
the consideration OF tho army appro-
priation bill over point OF order raised
by Mr.. Grain, OF Texas, against pro-
viso in the bill that hereafter no money

shaltbe used in tho payment for the
transportation oitroops and supplies OF
tho army over the non-aided limos OWE
ed, controlled or operated By the Union
Pacific railroad company, or by the
Southern Pacific company, over lines
embraced in its Pacific system.
The chairman, in the clear.cut Ian
guaGc which always characterzei his
remarks, sustained tho point OF order,
the principal ground for his decision
being that the proviso made perma-
ncnt law. Then Mr. Outhwaite offered
nh amendment making the same pro-
vision, but making it applicable only to
tho present bill.

Ice having arisen, the bill WIS passed.

place a conservative tax on articles OF
consumption in order within reason
able limit to raise part of the revenue.
Then he would have an internal tax on
the luxuries, such as whisky and tobac-
co and 4 tax upon incomes. The tariff
OH wool was not only the keystone of
the arch Of protection, but it was its
roof. ADcmocratic house could not re-
form the tariff in day. but it could be-
gin the reform by taking of the Roof.
Mr.. Snodgrass, Of Tennessee, con-
sumed his time in opposition to the
bill donating S5,000,00O to the WorlI's
Fai.. He contended that representa-
tives in Congress in making this ap-
preparation would violate tho constitu-
ton; and would do so in direct conflict
with the oath they. took a. tho bar OF
the house. The committee then rose,
and the house adjourned. ~ ;.
