WASHINGTON, Feb. AT O'Clock
last night, at the conclusion of one OF
the grandest, most imposing and most
impressive scenes ever witnessed in the
American capitol, the Wilson tariff bill
passed the house of representative by a
vote of 204 to 140 The events leading
up to it were almost unparalleled in
our annals. At IL o'clock, after
preliminary skirmish OF an hour
over the barley schedule, the bill
was reported to the house
and the closing speeches were
made. Such a vast concourse of peo
pie as assembled to hear these last ar
guments upon the great economic is
sue about to be submitted for final
arbitrage to the representatives of the
American people had never be fore been
seen within the precincts of the ma
tion's legislative capitol Nothing like
1T was ever known in the history of the
oldest inha hitant of the cap tai.
Wien Mr. Reed, the first speaker,
arose at last to deliver the final plea for
Protection the overhanging galleries
were black and dense with the spec
tators who thronged them.
The appearance of the speaker of the
house upon the floor engaged in debate
was, of itself, a remarka BILE as we'll as
an unusual thing. Each of the speak kers
seemed to be in his best form, and the
speeches which they delivered will rank
among the best and most brilliant of
their lives. When these were finished.
Mr.. Wilson, who spoke last, was lifted
on the shoulders of his admiring col
leagues and carried triumphantly from
the hall amid a scene of unmatched en-
thusiasm.

of the measure was overwhelming.
