Mine Competition.
By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Twenty-
three minutes were spent waiting for a
quorum in the Senate this morning.
For the first time since Mr.. Harris was
placed in charge of the Tariff bill he
was not in his seat. The delay in Sc
curing a quorum shut out the consldera-
ton of the Hawaiian resolution.
At 1890 the tariff debate was resumed.
The paragraphs passed over yesterday
were taken up. The first was 1866, relat-
ing to the duty on wheels of iron or
steel, car n locomotive wheels, &c.
The original Jones amendment in
creased the rate in the House bill from
80 to 40 per cent. ad valorem. To-day
Mr.. Vest moved to substitute a specific
rate Of IA cents per pound. The Nc
kinley rate is 2 l-2 cents per pound.
Mr.. Quay supported the Vest amend
ment as preferable to an ad valorem
duty, 1t was agreed to.
The lead paragraph was then taken
up.
The House bill made lead ore and lead
dross dutiable at Is per cent. ad valorem
upon the lead contained therein, and
classified silver lead ores as silver ores.
where the silver contents exceeded in
value the lead contents, and admitted
them free of duty.
The Finance Committee amendment
made lead ore dutla BILE at t~hree-quarters
OF one cent per pound, and made silver
lead ores dutiable at the same rate on
the lead contents. according to sample
and assay at the port of entry.
Mr.. Dubois offered an amendment
which was accepted by MIR. Jones, fixing
as the method of sample and assay that
commercially adopted in the United
States.
Mr.. Shoup tRcp., Idaho made quite an
elaborate argument In favor OF duty on
argentlferous lead ore, going largely into
the extent OF the silver lead ore industry
In Idaho and other mining States and
Territories OF the West.
He contendcd that the mines OF the
West could not compete with the peon
labor Of Mexico, and said that If silver
lead ore were admitted free OF duty from
Mexico almost every lead mine in the
United States would be closed.
