WASHINGTON, Aug 14.-ln the House
Yesterday afternoon there was in, ,roduced
the expected order from the Commit tee
on Rules relating to the consideration Of
the tariff bill and cognate measures. 1t
provided that it should bc in order after
the passage OF the order to move that
the action of the House requesting fur
ther conference on the tariff bill be re-
scindcd; that the conferees be dis
charged from further duty in connec
tion Herewith; and that the House
agree to the Senate amendments in
bulk. which motion shall be debated two
hours. when the vote on its adoption
and the motion shall be indivisible. Sec
ond, that it shall bc in order after the
introduction of the order, to present in
the House and consider without refer
ence to any committe. bills for placing
sugar, coal. iron ore and barbed wire
upon the free list. Thirty minutes shall
be given for the discussion of each bill,
and then vote shall be taken.
Mr.. Reed demanded the yeas and nays,
and the House order was adopted, 179
to 81, not vo'ing IL. Upon the an
nouncemcnt of the vote Chairman VIII
son Immediately submitted in writing
the motion provided for in the order
adopted.
Mr.. Reed made the point that the
order was not before the House. The
bill had been brought in, however, dur
ing the roll call, and the Speaker pointed
to it. Mr.. Reed sat down disconsol-
ately.
Mr.. Mcmillan, a member of the Ways
and Means committee pointed out some
of the good features OF the Senate bill,
free wool, free lumber, free hemp, ETC.,
and the reductions in the general sched.
ulcs.
Mr.. Tarsney, Democrat. of Missouri,
made bitter attack on the Senate bill.
He said the highest authority in the
Democratic party had stigmatized the
bill as filled with perfdy and dshonor.
Mr.. Wilson then demanded vote on
the resolution. The yeas and NAYS were
ordered and resulted: Yeas 1872, nays
LOG; present and not voting 3. So the
Senate bill was adopted.
Mr.. Wilson then introduced, one after
another. and the House passed, separate
bills providing for the free admission
into the. United States of coal, iron ore,
sugar and barbed wire. Free sugar
passed by vote of 276 II.
In the Senate today as soon as the
journal was read. the chief ,erk of the
House appeared and deiSere message
announcing the passage by the House OF
bills to place on the free list sugar, bit
luminous coal. iron ore and barhcd wire.
The message made no allusion to the
concurrence Of the House in all the Sen
ate amendments to the tariff bill.
When thc vice President laid before the
Senate the free list bills, Manderson asked
that they be read at length and objected
to second reading of all of them. Hill
gave notice of amendments to each of
the bills, providing for the repeal OF all
income taxes. The separate bills will
not come up until tomorrow.
The tariff bill will tomorrow, when
both Houses are in session, receive the
signatures of Speaker Crisp and Vice
President Stevenson. The bill will then
be taken to the President who, it is be-
licvcd, will let the bill become law With
out his signature.
