and the scene on the floor was an AMI.
mated one, In anticipation Of the debate
on the tariff conference report, when
the house met to-day. While the
journal was being read Chairman VIII.
ion entered tho Toon. His bead was
bound with a white handkerchief, and
he was evidently suffering great pain.
His appearance was tho signal for a
great demonstration on the Democratic
side, the members cheering wildly at
the eight OF their tariff leader.
There were no preliminaries As
soon as the reading Of the journal had
boon completed, Mr.. outhwSito, Of
Ohio, from tho committee on rules,
offered the following resolution. under
1 which two hours were 10 be allowed TO
debate tho conference report on the
tariG bill;
"ResoIrrd. That after the adoption OF
this resolution 1t shall be in order that
the house confeTees on house resolution
1854 Tho tariff bill) make report Of
disagreement; to move that the house
insist upon its disagreement TO the sem
nte amendments to said bill In Eross,
and ask furthpr conference with the
senate on the disagreeing votes OF the
\ two houses thereon; that two hours Of
debate shall be allowed on said motion,
and then without other motion the
vote shall be taken thereon. Should
such motion prevail, the speaker shnll
at once appoint the house contereos,
and the matter shall then, for the time
being, pass from the consideration ot
the house."
Mr. Hopkins attempted to offer an
amendment to extend the time to four
hours, but objection was made. Tho
previous question was ordered. This
gave eighty minutes for debate. Mr..
Reed took the floor aud offered a word
OF protest against cutting of debate In
this summary manner, He thought
there were members on the Democratic
side who desired time to express their
opinion OF the senate amendments.
With something Of twinkle In bis eye
he yielded ten minutes to Mr. Johnson,
tho free trade single taxer from Ohio.
YIELDS 10 JOHNSON.
Mr.. johnson Immediately launched q
protest against the special order be-
cause IN gave the house no opportunity
10 vote separate instructions on the
different schedules, and especially on
the subject Of sugar. The discsimtun;;
i tion in tho sugar schedule was criminal
and no declared amid q burst OF ap-
plnuse that II the sugar trust or any
other trust was TO legislste for the poo
ple. IL made little difference whether
the legislation was imposed upon them
by tho Mckinley or the German bill
aMr. Speaker" !" Mr.. johnson asked,
"in case his order Is agreed 10 will 1t be
in order 10 move to instruct the COM
mitteo on sugar or any other single
item 2"'
iii the disagreements arc insisted
upon In bulk" replied the speaker, III
would not be in order to move separate
instruetons." +,
"That is what thought" retorted
MIR. johnson, "that is why l shall vote
against tho order" a.
'If tho house insists upon Its disagree
ment," interjected Mr.. Warner, oil New
York, ".hat would practically be an in'
atruction for free sugar"
REEDS TART REPLIES
Mr.. Reed then arose, "Atter what Mr.
johnson had said, he began, "the house
could SEQ what it would do to itself II 1t
adopted this rule. 1t would give the
house no opportunity to express Its
opinion upon the vital points Of differ
ence. between tho house and tho senate,
but would mingle all the differences to-
rether without giving to tho vital points
ANY particular strength to emphasis.

The senato will not bo given an oppor'
tunity to sec how much strength 1t has

In closing Mr.. Reed referred to the
fact that tho final adjustment Of the
tariff was entirely in the hands oil
southern men.
