HERBERT OPPOSES THE RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Herbert was recognized for five min
utes in opposition TO the adoption Of Mr..
Breckinridge's resolution. He said: "We
are In the midst of a very great crisis. No
one can say with absolute certainty that
the situation is less grave to-day than il was
yesterday. No one can say with
absolute certainty that the dispatch
which appeared this morning as
an Associated Press dispatch from Santiago
is true. There are circumstances connected
with that dispatch. or at least there are
features OH the face OF 1t which, in my
opinion, render it very doubtful whether
the dispatch is true. Suppose that the dis
patch is untrue, and that we pass now the

BRECKENRIDGE MOVES TO AMEND
HOLMAN'S RULE.

Re Proposes to Make in Order When
General appropriation Bills Are On
der Consideration Any Amendmen5
Reducing Taxatlon-The Followers
of Speaker Crisp Scent Danger in IL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The food of
Chilean news yesterday caused to be ove,e
looked very significant amendment to tbs
new code of rules offered by Mr.. IBreckin~
ridge of Kentucky. 1t appears in to-dayf
Record and reads as follows:
Provided further. that whenever any general
appropriation bills under consideration it shaf
be In order 10 move as an amendment any
amendment reducing taxation, or providing
out of what fund or taxes such appropriations
shall be paid
This proviso Mr.. Breckinridge proposed
so add TO the Holman rule, the adoption Of
which was recommended by the rules cons
mittee, permitting riders on legislation or
appropriation bills when in the interest OF
retrenchment.
EFFECT OF THE RULE.
II enacted It would enable a complete
tariff bill to be appended to any appropriI
alton bill under consideration In the House,
The Significance Of 1t is readily seen. Meml
bers of the ways and means committee who
are in favor Of attacking the Me-
hinleY tariff act by separate bills
were afraid that IL Indicated a
purpose to take revision OF the tariff out OF
then hands and propose a general tarifn
bill, like the Mills bill of the FIftieth cons
gress The democratic members OF tha
committee are at present divided on tha
subject OF the best method Of attacking tha
tariff, and the new and old members of the
committee have not yet been able to get to-
gether on the question, Mr.. Springer and
bis friends favoring separate bill Is and the
members OF the committee when Mr.. Mills
was chairman, namely, Messrs. McMillin.
Wilson and Turner, favorinR general rel
vision In one comprehensive measure.
BRECKINRIDGE's DENIAL.
Mr.. Breckenridge this afternoon said that
his resolution did contemplate any nova
against the chairman OF the ways and means
committee. He said that he did not believe
in legislation on appropriation bills, but was
IN favor OF keeping the appropriation bills
confined to government expenditures
strictly. At the same time. IL there were
going to be any such rule adopted as the old
Holman rider Of the Forty-eighth congress
he wanted to add to 1t a rule relative td
taxation. He said he wanted to keep any
single tariff bill or any general tariff
bill from being pocketed in the
Senate. and IL the House sens
the Senate lot Of single
shots at the tariff law (which he personally
did not favor, being himself believer in
keeping faith by general revision) be wanted
to put the rules iu such shape that t8e

The Post a ccuses President Harrison
of Spread-eaSleism.
LONDON, Jan. 27,3 A.M.-The Times says
1.-THE Chileans have proved their courage on
the battlefield, but are conscious that Chile is
no match for the United States. 1t is only
natural, therefore, that thsy are
disposed toward conciliation. 1t is
likely enough that Secretary Blaine
knew this beforehand, since nothing
30 promotes decided language on the part
Of politician Of Secretary Blaine's astute-
ness as knowledge that It is not going TO be
thrown away. We may expect Chile to
withdraw the Malta note and make the
amends required. In the mean time il does
not appear that President Harrison's mes
sage is universally approved at Washing
ton. Things have now calmed down; the
avowed and secret objects OF President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine will be gained
and we will bear little more Of the matter
What will happen to Minister Egan does
not appear as yet"
A SPIRIT OF PHILOSOPHY.
The Post says: "The Santiago ministry
has dealt with the dispute with the United
States in q spirit Of true philosophy. Full
ing to satisfy the President Of the United
States they have decided that it is best to
conciliate the candidate for the presidency,
and have thus shown an excellent sense Of
the true proportions of the quarrel :"
The Post comments upon the
inability of ths United States TO fight
Chile except by prolonged struggle upheld
by superior wealth. 1t condemns Minister
Egan and says: 1T is incredible that con-
gress will support President Harrison,
whose message is most interesting as mark
ing an epoch in the history Of democracy in
its natural home"
DIsREPUTABLE sPREAD-EAGLEIsM.
The Chronicle says: "If Chile's offer Of
satisfaction was sent under circum stances
as reported, President Harrison has been
guilty Of an act OF most disreputable spread
esgleisn.' He must have known before he
published his hectoring message that Chile
had done all and more than was required,
therefore his message was mere 'blague.'
We confess we hesitate In coming to a con-
clusion SO utterly disgraceful, not only to
President Harrison, but to the great nation
that has made him trustee of their honor
and their interests. We cannot bslieve him
capable Of such q mean dodge, although we
are not unmindtul of the dirty trick his
