committee, who, in sympathy with
them, allowed the debate upon the
Robbins amendments which he had to
offer, will, when he again takes the
floor, exhaust the debate until Satur-
day night, aad thus shut out the pos,
sibility of the internal revenue bill
being offered as an amendment to the
Wilson bill. \ great deal of bitter
feeling exits, however, and should

place tin plate on the free list was un-
successful. There was today, as in the
two preceding days, considerable
plain-spoken opposition to the bill on
the democratic side. Tomorrow the
order extending the debate three days
will be brought in and passed.
37TH DAY.-The tariff debate was
concluded tonight, so far as it relates
to the customs schedule. The time
for Offering amendments ceased at
B 80 O'Clock when the house took
recess. There was a great deal of de-
mand from both sides during the af-
ternoon for recognition for the pur-
pose of Offering amendments, but
Mr.. Wilson for the committee had the
door and none got in. Al least a
hundred amendments were shut out
by the expiration of the time. A SER
les of amendments to the metal sched-
ule, all reductions, were agreed to,
and the committee reversed its action
of week ago and fixed the time for
free wool to go into effect on August
2, and for the wooden goods schedules
to go into effect on December 2. This
was accomplished by change of front
on the part of the republicans, who
voted on the former occasions to have
free wool 60 into effect Immediately
upon the passage of the bill. Three
days of next week under the amend
ed order will be devoted to the consid,
Grafton of the internal revenue bill
S8TH DAY.-The general debate on
the internal features of the tariff bill
was entered on today. But one sem
satonal speech was made, that by Mr..
Covert, democrat, of New York, who
announced his opposition to the entire
bill, because, in his opinion, it was
framed to compel the incorporation of
an income tax. Mr.. Mcmillan of
Tennessee and Mr.. Hall of Kansas,
ably presented the argument in favor
of the imposition of the tax.
