HOUSE,

The House went into committee OF
the whole to consider the tariff bill.
A number of amendments were Of
fered by Mr.. Wilson, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, and they
were agreed to without objection.
The first amendment reduced the
tariff on furs from 20 per cent. ad va.
lorum to ten per cent. ad valorem.
Calf skins, tanned, or tanned and
dressed F.; dressed upper leather, in
Guiding patent, enameled and japanned
leather, dressed or undressed and fin.
ished chamois and other skins, were
reduced from 20 per cent. ad valorem
to Is per cent. al valorem. Also book
binders calf skins, kangaroo, sheep and
goat skins, including lamb and kid
skins, dressed and finished, were re-
duced from 20 per cent. ad valorem to
Is per cent. ad valorem.
On all amendment raising the tariff
on condensed or preserved milk from
20 per cent. ad valorem to aspecfic rate
of two cents per pound, a debate arose
Mr.. Bowers left milk and drifted into
the subject of raisins He produced 9
box of raisins grown in his own dis,
trict, which he put up against Jerry
Simpsons shoddy overcoat. The gen
tleman from Kansas, he said, did not
know whether the overcoat was shod
DIV or wool, or whether it was Ameri
can or foreign. Mr.. Bowers guaran
teed his raisins to be genuine Ameri
can product, no shoddy, but all WOO
and yard wide. The republican:
crowded around Mr. Bowers to sample
his American product, and for while
there was a school-bov scrimmage fol
raisins. when Mr.. Bowers interfered il
order to save some of his sample fol
the democratic side. The House va;
in a turmoil, and the galleries were
laughing at the scene presented on the
floor, when Mr.. Enloe laughingly sug.
gested that the republicans were de-
stroying the argument of Mr.. Bowers
Mr.. Burrows started warm debate
on the right of the chair to recognize
Mr.. Wilson to offer all his amendments
before the other side was allowed to Of
fer any After prolonged discussion
the Speaker ruled sustaining his de-
cision rendered yesterday

sion of the Senate. He was about to lay

postponed doing so until after the trans
action of the routine morning business.
Mr. Call offered a resolution sus-
pending the rule as to secrecy in exc
cutive sessions, in the case OF the nom
ination of internal revenue collector for

ton would have to be considered in ex
ecutive session.
Mr.. Call, said that he did not ask for
the present consideration OF the resolu-
ton. He declined, however, to with
draw it; and thereupon, at 12:45, the
presiding officer ordered the galleries
to be cleared and the doors closed; and
the Senate went into executive session.
The doors were reopened at l p. m.
A resolution was offered by Mr.. Call,

dition of the civil service.

postmasters to be sent to the Auditor
of the Treasury for the Postofiice De-
partment, WAS passed.

What will do it?

Medical writer's claim that the successful
remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritat-
ing, easy of application, and one that will
reach the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh is
proof positive that only one remedy has COM
petely met these conditions, and that is Ely IS
Cream Balm This same and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has ever
done, and both physicians and patients freely
concede this fact. Our druggists keep it.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Of Appropriation Bills.

The House Engaged In the Consideration
Of Appropriation Bills.
WASHINGTON, March 5.--There will be q
lull in the house for several weeks after
the excitement that has existed there since
the holidays. 1t is the intention of the
house managers to push the consideration
of the appropriation bills TO the exclusion
of anything else during this week. Two
days, probably three, will be taken to com
plete the consideration of the pension ap-
preparation bill, which was discussed for
two days of last week After il il disposed
of the District Of Columbia aud consular
and diplomatic bills will consume the bal
ance of the week. When they are SOM
pleted the election cases will be taken up,
and then the house will return to the
other appropriation bills.
The senate has made SO little progress
towards Legislation during the past two
or three weeks that the calendar has been
changed only in very slight degree, and
the special orders made some time since,
except in the case of few speeches, are
still undisposed of. The printing bill, the
Russian thistle bill and the McGarrahan
bill all hold their places, where they can
be called up in order, but they are subject
to displacement if any question of more
general Importance should be presented,
even though informally. If the tariff bill
should not be reported during the week it
IS still likely to be referred to and speeches
made upon it.

CHICAGO, March s. = Another attempt
has been made to destroy Worlds fair
buildings by fire, and proved Intellectual
only because of the timely appearance of
Columbian guard, who turned in an
alarm, The fire broke out at 4:3O yester-
day afternoon in the station house, just
south OF the Terminal station and within
fifty feet of the Machinery hall, and but
for timely interference the three buildings
would probably have been destroyed. The
police have arrested Michael Murphy, who
was on the ground at the time aud was
unable to give a reasonable account of his
movements. The police think him one of
an organized gang of men that are re-
sponsible for the numerous unaccount-
able fires at Jackson Park.
