 In the house this afternoon was inter- .rupted by the expected order from the fcmmittee on rules relating to the con- BIderation of the tariff bill and cogent measures which was proposed by MT. Eutchings, dem. of Mississippi Provid- .d 1t shall be in order after the passage ,t the order to move that the acton of he house requesting a further confer. :rce on the tariff bill be rescindeG. it neral leave to print on the subject s gwen for ten days. '2). That 1t shall oe in order after the adoption of the CT Ter to present in the hodSe and consider without reference to bills for placing Bl gar, coal, iron vre and barbed wIe upon the free list. Thirty minutes slIaI' b. given to the resolution of each bill and then the vote shall be taken. MI. Catchings moved the previous uucstion, and MT. Reed essayed point of der against the resolution. The point of order was overruled, and the question was upon ordering the previous question.
 The previous question was secondeo
 without a division, and the speaker
 recognized MT. Catchings dem. Of Miss- lssippi, who half rose from his seat sim ultaneously with MT. R .ei. The former indicated his willingness to yield to MT. Reed. while the latter sat down, as if unwilling to deprive MT. Catchings of the floor. MT. Catchings, however, per sisted in keeping his seat and MT. Reed spoke.
 MT. Reed told the democrats that their feelings were perfectly natural. The job they had to do was such that the sooner they got over t- the better they would feel. Daughter aad cries cf "vote"). They were going to tralnple up- on the barriers which preserved the right of the people, in order to perform an act which would be tasteful

 "You are going to do 1t in defiance pf all your protestations, in defiance of III your declarations" he said. You Ire going to die not only in the last Hitch, but in the lowest part of the
 fitch. Iaughter). You are going to enact a bill which you believe not to be m honest bill, and you are going to &C., company 1t with 8 parade which you llso know Is not honest. You are going 10 desert the roll of honor.' Uaugh-l ler). Desert 1t in order to trick your selves with the gew-gaws that are contained in this proposition. You are going to give us free sugar-yes in your minds. (Laughter). You are going to five us free coal-oh, my friends! And then you are going to give us free iron and you are going to do it in a bold and manly way, like the back down you are making here. Daughter Ind applause).
 gYou are to have no committee of }his house. not even your own pliant committee, to stand between you and the noble purpose that thrills your souls. Gaughter). You fear that the bill for free sugar will be contaminated by passage through committee which may have become an appendage of another portion of what has been dis covered to be the legislative branch of this country. You are going to march to free coal over the dead bod les of the ways and means committee. You are going to have free iron ore In defiance of the rules of this house in defiance of the principles which you have always proclaimed were necessary Tor the transaction of public business. You are going to give half an hour to the discussion of free sugar in all It's branches. You are going to give l5 minutes on 8 side to dispose of the question of coal. You are going to give l5 minutes on side to discuss the ques- 'tion of iron. You are going to give l An hour g. side to discuss six hundred | amendments, not one of which have l been touched by this house-one-tenth | of a second for each amendment. | Naughter).
 "Now, how do you like the whole l program? You are going to do it. | Say, how do you like 1t? Democratic | shouts of first rate" and laughter).
 Providence loves cheerful devour- 1 er." Gaughter)
 MT. Turner, dem., of Georgia, a mem Der of the committee on ways and l means, followed MT. Reed. He gave his | opinion of the parliamentary status of | the tariff bill. He said: q have had to | eat dirt so many times under the dis pensation of the gentleman from Maine 1 that 1t has been less nauseous than it used to be. (AppIause.) And I want to | commend to my friend from Michigan (Nr. Burrows) the full measure of eyen- handed justice. If it took only two hours to impose the burden of the Nc Kin1ey bill upon the American people in the name of all that is fair, ought 1t to take any longer to remove these bur dens from the people?" Loud ap- plause.)
 During MT. Turner's remarks MT. Bou- telle, rep, of Maine, interrupted with "The Carlisle sugar tariff schedule had not been made when the bill was under discussion in the house."
 The period for debate on the passage of the resolutions having expired, a vote was taken, resulting: Ayes 188, noes g. The republicans did not vote, and the three negative votes were cast by democrats. The yeas and nays were then ordered. Just as the clerk began to call the roll MT. Wilson, dem., of Washington. asked if 1t would be in order before the vote was taken to have the presidents letter read again for the .n form finn of the house nauRhter1
