YESTERDAY ~ raE HOUSE.
Tom Johnson's Steel Rail Amendment
Voted Down.

WAsHINGToN, u. c., January 10
The House is making slow progress
with the amendments TO the tariff bill.
Only one week more remains and less
than twenty amendments to about
1000 paragraphs have been disposed
Of The argument between Mr..
johnson and Mir. Dalzel, OF the
proposition 10 put steel rails on the free
list was continued to-day. When the
vote came the amendment was defeated,
but only forty Democrats voted with
their colleagues OF the committee. while
seventy-nine voted with johnson and
the radicals
AT the opening OF the session OF the
House, the pending amendment was
that OF MIR. johnson (Dem., Ohio,D to
place steel rails on the free list
Mr.. Dalzell was recognized TO pro-
ceed with his speech begun yesterday.
MIR. Dalzell began by recapitulating
the charges he made against Mr.. John.
son. He had shown, be said, that Mr..
johnson manufactured certain kinds OF
street railway rails behind the protec-
tion OF 1900 patents and wanted railway
rails TO 60 on the free list, that
he coerced his employees In the face OF
winter and starvation into accepting
wages one-third cash aud tWo-thirds
SNIip tduat ne maze an untrue state
ment and had altered the stenogrRpher's
notes, and lastly that the scrip had
been hacked about the streets OF Johns
town and had been bought In at a dis
count by relative of Mr.. johnson be.
fore II was redeemed a par.
johnson replied TO Dalzell In a semi
humorous vein. He said be had noti-
ged Dalzell that he was going To attack
the steel rail pool so that he might be
prepared, but In so doing, making de-
Tense, he made personal attack upon
him (JOhnsOn). He (JOhnson) did not
claim 10 be a philanthropist. The
johnson amendment TO put steel rails
on the free list was lost, 70 TO 100.
After the defeat OF the johnson steel
rail amendment Representative Hen
derson, Of Iowa, offered an amendment
te substitute the present law for the ag-
ricultural schedule, and long debate
on agriculture ensued, in which Hop
kins (IlD, Hill Ia), Springer GlL),
Hsugen tWis), and others took part
Mr.. Henderson rep, Iowa was then
recognized 10 offer the agricultural
schedule Of the Mckinley law as u sub
stitute for that Of the Wilson bill
The rest of The afternoon was con-
sumed in further discussion of the
Henderson amendment. Those who
took part were Messrs McMlllin,
Springer, Bowers, Hayes, Hall Mimi,
| kingley and Clark, Of Missouri.
The House then took a recess until 8
o'clock.
