WILSON IN A HURRY
HE WANTED THE TARIFF BILL RE-
PORTED YESTERDAY,
But Republicans Delayed Action
Bynum Not to BE Conferee-'oop-
er's Bill to Tax Greenbacks Passed.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The ways and
means committee met at O'Clock this
afternoon and took up the tariff BILL
Chairman Wilson and his Democratic as
sociates endeavored to report back TO the
House at once in favor of a disagreement
with the Senate, but Mr.. Reed and his as
socates insisted on reading the Senate
amendments. Something of clash oc-
Cured when Representative Hopkins,
Republican member of the committee
moved to concur in one of the Senate
amendments. Chairman Wilson ruled the
motion out of order until the bill should be
read through. Mr.. Hopkins appealed from
the decision of the Chair. Mr.. Wilson was
sustained by party vote.
The session of the committee lasted
throughout the afternoon and Mr.. Wilson
was compelled. at last. reluctantly to
abandon the hope Of reporting back the
bill to-day Throughout the discussion Mr..
Reed poured hot and bitter criticism at
the bill and its supporters. He moved at
the outset that the huge collar and cuff
petition in book form be laid on Chairman
Wilson's desk, as present protest 70
the bill and a means of obScuring Mr..
Wilson himself. The chairman did not like
the jocular motion and refused to enter
tain it. Mr. Wilson's plan plans 30 were ;ntrodnade made
the following special rule:
Resolved. That after the passage of the
resolution the committee on ways and
means shall be discharged from further
consideration of the House bill 1863, with
Senate amendments thereto, and the same
shall be considered in the House; that
after two hours of general debate it shall
be in order in the House TO move TO nom
concur in the Senate amendments to said
bill in gross and agree TO committee of
conference as asked for by the Senate on
the disagreeing votes of the two houses
and the House SHALL without further de-
lay or other motion, proceed to vote on
said bill"
The committee on rules meets at IL:
tomorrow morning to consider this rule
which will be reported promptly. The ways
and means committee meets at 1890 to-
morrow and unless Mr.. Wilson secures a
vote in committee to report the bill back,
the special rule will operate TO take the
bill away from the committee.
The two hours allowed by the rule for
debate insures a brief but very animated
tariff debate before the bill goes 20 the
conference tomorrow. Mr.. Wilson's spe-
cial rule TO take the bill away from mis-
own committee is considered an adroit par
liamentary move, but it is expected to
cause warm protest when its full purpose
is understood. 1t takes away from the
ways and means committee all power to
recommend noncOncurrence and gives this
power 10 the House.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE MILITIA.

In times of popular tumult or danger il
is the duty of those charged with the ex-
ecution of law to consider all possibilities
and be prepared for every emergency. 1t
is evident the Washington authorities have
been doing this. The interview with the
pared to call into action troops enough to
quel an insurrection much more formidabl
than the present one has yet become. In
addition to the regular troops which are
Immediately available the government
could mobilize on short notice twenty
thousand of the New York and Pennsyl-
vania militia, which, in discipline and drill
are scarcely inferior to regulars. This
force could be concentrated at Chicago in
a very short time, and the Attorney-gen-
eral says it will be if necessary. 1t is not
but it is the duty of the government to be
prepared for it, The Constitution makes
the President commander-in-chief OF the
militia of the several States when called
into the service of the United States and
he is authorized 10. call out the militia
whenever he may deem it necessary to
suppress popular insurrection or rebellion
against the authority of the government.

forcement of law is ample and, although

WHO HAS GAINED BY THE EN-
BARGO:

The Debs embargo has been on now at
not suspended passenger trains, it has prac-
tically paralyzed the freight transporta-
. tion of sections at a distance from Chicago.
The question which may now be asked is,
Has any who wages in any
capacity gained anything by the hod-up?
If it should end nov and all the employees
Of the railroads who have not attempted
to destroy their property should be per-
mitted to resume their places. how much
would these men have gained by the loss
of over a weeks wages? There are thou
sands in regular employments who have
not yet lost by the paralysis of traffic, but
it will reach them for the most part ere
long.
Who have lost? Every shipper who has
goods stranded on the sidings of railways
over the West and South. To this date
larger number of farmers are losers than
in any other industry. Early in the week
a shipper of butter. eggs and poultry in
this city who has more than fifty pur-
chasing agents. who. in turn. have men
travelling over the country collecting such
produce sent out orders to suspend busi-
ness, for the reason that he could not for
ward merchandise. This means that sew
eral thousand farmers have been deprived
of their usual market for butter. eggs and
poultry at a season when to hold the first
two is a total loss. The small amounts of
money received for these articles often fur
nish the sellers with sugar, coffee and like
articles which are necessaries of life 1t
is the canning season, but reports from sew
eral canning centers in this and neighbor-
ing States indicate that work has been
suspended because the stoppage of freight
traffic in Chicago, the great source of sup
ply, has delayed the expected supply of
cans. In Indiana many acres of peas and
thousands of bushels of berries will be-
come practically valueless to the producers.
Hundreds OF cars loaded with the vegeta-
bles. melons and small fruita of Georgia.
Tennessee and other States ale rotting on
the sidetracks and acres of produce worth
thousands of dollars ten days ago have be-
come worthless-the loss falling chiefly upon
the tillers OF small farms. The Debs mobs
in Chicago have devoted themselves TO the
destruction of meat and other provisions
for which wage-earners in the East are al
ready paying higher prices. Trains of milk
cars have been destroyed going into Chi

GREENBACKS TO BE TAXED.
That Is If the senate Carries Out the
Action of the House.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The bill for the
State taxation of greenbacks occupied the
attention of the House all day and it was
