WASHINGTON, ID. c., July l9.-Thc
house galleries today bore living cvi-
dencc Of the public interest in the tariff
bill. For the first time in nearly month
the seats in all the galleries except the
diplomatic were filled in Anticipation of
the debate on the report Of the con!c,cc
There was wide awake interest in the
report that Breckenridge OF Arkansas
had been selected as Minister to Russia,
which was evidently discussed ON the
floor. While the journal was being read
Wilson, chairman OF the committee ON
ways and means, with his face entirely
hidden by handkerchief which band
age he is compelled to wear over his eyes
i'll which is located nculalgic troubles
from which he is suffering, came into
the house accompanied by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge. As they appeared the clerk S
voice was drowned by the applause
which went up.
Cultivate (Ohio) presented a rcsolu-
tion from the committee on rules pro-
viding that when the couterecs on the
tariff bill report their disagreement it
shall be in order to move that the House
insist upon its disagreement to the sen
ate amendments in gross; that the mo-
ton shall be discussed two hours, when,
without an intervening motion, vote
shall be taken. II the motion shall b.
agreed to, the speaker shall name con-
ierces on the part of the House and the
bill shall then, for the time being, prss
from consideration Of the House.
Hopkins Ills attempted to offer an
amendment to extend the time to four
hours, but OBJECTION was made. The
previous question was ordered. This
gave thirty minutes for debate.
Reed took the floor and offered word
OF protest against cutting Off debate in
this summary manner. lie thought
there were members on the Democratic
side who desired time to express their
opinion of the Senate amendments.
Then, with omcthing of twinkle in
his eye, he Welded ten minutes to John
son, the tree trade single taxcr from
Ohio.
Johnson immediately launched a pro-
test against special order because il
gave the House no opportunv to vote
seperatc instructions on different Schrd
ulcs, cspecia " on the subj ct of sugar.
He denounced the Discrimination il, the
sugar schedule in favor of the tru.t rs
criminal. and declared amid Il burst
OF applause that il the sugar
trust or any other trust was t.
lcgislatc for the people it made lttl,
difference whether that legislation was
imposed upon them b, the Mckinley or
the German bill.
The order of the rules committee was
adopted and Chairman Wilson was re-
cognizcd. There was burs, of applause
from the Democratic side as he arose
with the tariff bill and the dis ,prccng
report in hand. He said that he desired
to be complete in this statement yet he
recognized that there were limitations
necessary But he could say within
the bounds of cour,csv and propricty
that it the Senate confcrccs had met the
House conterccs in the spirit OF doing
good for the whole people an agreement
could have been reached in one day. But
the Senate confcrccs came irttcrcd with
certain obligations to their cole ,sucs in
the Scnate-obligations that were
against the y inciplcs of the House and
III line with the demands OF yrca: corpo.
rate interests. Wilson sail this de
vclopcd irreconcilablc differences. The
House bill had been framed with tho
view to redccming the pledges OF the
Democratic party, but the bill as it came
from the Senate did not recognize the
great principles of the party.
| Wilson said the main difference had
been upon sugar, iron. ore, coal, some
features OF the wooden schedule, some OF
the iron and steel schedules; "hut." said
he. the great difference has been on
sugar" lie took up the sugar schcdul,
in detail, explaining the differences be.
tween the Senate and the House.
"lt it be true" said he, "that the sugar
trust has grown so strong that it can
say no tariff bill can pass until it's inter
Csts are protected, then hope this house
will meyer adjourn"

to insist upon its disagreement 10 tho
