Washington, April II. - The senate
passed the resolution for the coinage Of
Mexican dollars in the United States
mints. The president 10 requested to
enter into Q correspondence with Mexico
regarding the scheme and report to con-
gross. Arrangements wefo made where
By the tariff bill will have clear sailing
during the remainder Of the week. Sen.
ator Lodge delivered the principal ad.
dress ON the tariff bill, which he de-
nouneed as bi1g antago7istic to the in.
terests Of the American manufacturer,
II rner and labnrer.
The house passed the bill to extend the
jurisdiction Of the Urited States court Of
Wyoming over Yellowstone Park. The
consideration Of the postofice appropria-
ton bill was resumed. During the day
Metsrs. Reed and Bryan indulged in an
Interesting tarid debate.
Washington, April 12.-The senate to-
day noticed the Minnesota Democratic
association statement issued from st.
Paul. The association resolved that tar
i'll legislation was being delayed by Dem
ocratic senators, and they were severely
criticised. In the list named were SEN
ators Hill, Murphy, Gorman, Pugh, Glib
son, Morgan and others. The muswump
New York Ev'ning Post. acting upon this
Democratic association proclamation pro-
ceeded to roast certain of these senators,
ore of them being Senator Morgan. The
Wellington Post called attention to this
In IN editorial this morning. Senator
Morgan arose to question of personal
privilege and humorously replied to the
attack upon him. OF course, the Min
netota critics made "bull'' in CHASING
Senator Morgan as kicker. He is one
of the most earnest supporters of the bill.
He said to-day he would vote for the bill
as 1t now stands, no matter whether it
was amended or not. He was also
agninst any delay. The Alabama senator
raised a laugh by stating TINT he had
been tariff reform Democrat before the
men In st. Paul, who had prepared the
resolution, were born. The Minnesota
association seems to have made very
sorry spectacle of itself by attempting to
dictate or to criticize the United States
congress. The method adopted by the
Minnesota Democrats, Senator Morgan
said, is the French method of trying a
man In his absence and without serving
notice upon him.
Senator Wasliburn took advantage of
cular interests to the front during the
tariff debate. Senator Hale was criti-
cising the bill for its probable effects OIL
the farm interests of this country, and
rentioned the matter of potatoes. SEN
ator Allen interrupted to say that po-
tatoes were sold in his state for 25
cents Q bushel despite the high protection
afforded by the Mckinley law. Senator
Washburn Immediately pointed out the
absurdity Of the claim that the con-
aumers of those potatoes were paying any
tax upon them and incidentally told how
the home market fer potatoes alone guar
anteed by the Mckinley law had made
number Of counties in Minnesota
wealthy, increasing the value Of every
acre of land and the general prosperity
Of the American producers.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal to-day the house got in u dead
lock over technical parliamentary ques-
tion, the Republicans not voting and the.
Democrats lacking 80 of O quorum, and
sO0E adjourned.
Washington, April 13.-The Democratic
managers In the house to-day decided to
take heroic measures to force the Repub-
licans to participate in the proceedings.
The committee on rules, consisting of
Speaker Crisp, Messrs. Outhwaite and
Catchings Oem.) and Messrs. Reed and
Burrows Rep.), held meeting just be-
fore the house convened and formulated
rule to crush fil:bustering, making the
penalty Of failure to vote punishable by n
fine Of $40. The Republicans having
hands were to be tied before the meeting
of the house, Messrs. Reed and Burrows
determined to contest every inch of the
ground, and a fierce parliamentary fight
was Immediately precipitated. Speaker
Crisp, however, was in no humor for
triAing, and with a stern hand he
swept aside all preliminaries and
forced the fight on the main issue. As
soon as the journal was read he recog-.
nized Mr.. Catchings, from the committee
on rules, to present the report. Mr..
Catchings demanded the previous ques-
tion. Mr.. Reed tried to secure recOgni-
tlon, but failed. The house was in an
uproar.
The speaker lost patience, and with
hang of the gavel stated the question to
be ON the demand for the previous ques-
tion. Mr.. Reed was left standing in thu
aisle while the speaker took the rising
vote. The Republicans declined to vote,
and when the speaker announced the re-
sul:-09 to O-Mr. Burrows made the
point of no quorum. The yeas and nays
were demanded. The Republicans We're
deter mined to force the Democrats to pro-
duce quorum Mt every stage of the par-
liamentary progress looking to the adop-
tion of the roll, and when the roll was
called declined to vote. Eleven of the
Democrats refused to give the proposed
rule their approval, and voted against the

New York; Gcary, California; Geissen-
hainer, New Jersey; Kilgore, Texas; Mn
guire, California; McAleer, Painter, Ken
tucky; Ryan, Warner, New York.

Gratis in favor Of the demand. The an-
showed that the Democrats were thirty
seven short of a quorum. After more fiji
clustering motion was finally carried
resembling all leaves Of absence, and the
house adjourned.

Dakota introduced Joint resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendment relat-
ing to marriage and divorce, which was
referred to the committee on judiciary.

sideration for a short time, and then Mr..
