 Speaker Crisp Interrupted.
 Speaker Crisp was recognized amid much applause As he was about to begin an animated conflict arose over the right of MT. Reed to close the debate. Mr Tracey, who was in the chair, informed Mir Rcod that he had four minutes.
 And will usc 1t in my own time" said Mir Reed.
 You cannot use 1t, said the chair man, "in closing tho debate. If you wish to bc recognized now. you can proceed. I will not recognize you to close the debate "
 1t Is quite fitting" said Mir. Reed, that this refusal to recognize this side should be part of this spectacle ''
 The gentleman should know" said Speaker Crisp. 'that the affirmative of the proposition closes a debate"
 Mir Crisp then resumed his speech.
 Mir. Crisp said: "I only dos.ro in the few minutes allowed me to publicly as- sumo my full share of responsibility for the action this side of tho house Is now asked to take and to aver in the face of my colleagues and tho country that we arc doing what, in the judgment of those who have been actively engaged in this struRgle-those who have taken earnest part in this fght-is for the best interests of tariff reform. Applause on the Demo cratic side
 Ut is very easy for a distinuished gen- tlcman like my friend from New York, who as we all know. with his ability and suitability, spends but little of his time in attending to the details of the business of the house daughter and applausel-it is very easy for him to come hero and in dulgo in pyrotechnics about principle when we who are here as plain, practical business men arc seeking to obtain somc relief for suffering people. But I want the gentleman to understand, and want tho country to understand, that the de- serters from the cause of tariff reform arc not these cunferees and others who have been making this great struggle and who now advise that this bill be accepted, but the desertcrs are rather those gentlemen who in tho midst of the fight, because they do not approve all the provisions of this bill, hold back and say, We will havc no lot or part in this struggle further Applause on the Democratic side
 Those gentlemen can receive the ap- probation and applause of Republicans, who desire nothing better than the main- tenance of the Mckinley law, but they can never meet the approbation and ap- plausc of the plain people of this country who have been oppressed and down trod- den by that law. Applause.
 The gentleman from Michigan Mir. Burrows) taunts this aside of the house by saying that we wanted free iron ore, we wanted free coal. we wanted free sugar. and WIG have given them all up. 1 say to my friend from Michigan that these gen tlemen who laborcd day and night, in sea son and out of season, to secure some changes in the senate bill say to us that we must take that bill, or we get nothing. What should we do: We are plain, prac- tical men. We are not discussing a theory. We believe in the homely phrase that when people are starving half n loaf is better than no bread Therefore we say We will take the senate bill but before this house adjourns tonight If our friends stay with us
 Many members on the Democratic side -Wo will do it.
 Republicans Created Trusts. It is quite apparent that you gentle men on the other side prefer tho Mckin- ley bill There arc gentlemen on this side who prefer the Mckinley bill to the house bill with senate amendments. Those gen tlcmen arc willing to incur all kinds of risks and hazards because they feel that in the end they cannot bo losers and be- cause they prefer the Mckinley law to | this bill
 Mir. Speaker, in conclusion, only want to say that far I am concerned l was willing to continue the contest for better bill 50 long as there was any hope of obtaining 1t. But when the cOnfcrccs on the part of the house, in whom wo havo the utmost confidence, who are famil far with all the facts, tell us that, in their judgment, we must take this bill or be rcmitted to the penalties of the Mckinley | bill do not hesitate II moment l take | tho senate amendments.
 If there Is Sugar trust in this coun- try which is dominating legislation, tho Republican party created it Applause. And though this bill does not destroy that trust, as wo wish it did, 1t takes away moro than one half of tho protection ac- corded to that trust Applause. If therc js a coal combine. the legislation of tho Republican party built 1t up, and although we do not make coal free in this bill we reduce the duty from a cents to | 40 cents.
 If therc Is a steel and iron combine, the same remark applies. Going through these schedules. while they arc not all we wish. they arc land we want the country to understand itD the best wo can now got. | Tho moment wc Gct this VIC intend to move forward. We do not intend there shall bc any Backward step in tariff re- | form. Loud applause We believe that | the adjournment of this congress without the passage of some tariff dill would be a 1 blow to tariff reform from which it would not recover for years to come
 As the speaker closed Mir. Cochran CN Y.J excItedly arose and asked to make a statement of personal privilege There was great confusion.
 The chair declined toreoogniZe the priv ilege as contrary to the special rule. Cat calls came from the Republican side, among them Sugar has gone up four points
 MT. Cochran persisted in his demand for a privileged statement, and with some asperity he said with reference to tho speakers reflections upon his absence thai lit was an evidence of the growth of thu Georgia chivalry since Alexander Stcvon: was replaced in the speakership by tho present. occupant of the chair"
 Tho speaker disclaimcd any intention of reflecting on Mir. Cochran, but the in cident caused much confusion, and 1t wa some minutes before order could be re stored.
 After this exciting sceno Mir. Wilson arose and corrected a statement he mad in his opening remarks to the effect tha $lOO, 900, 900 worth of raw sugar had bceI purchased by the Sugar trust in anticipa tion of the passage of the sugar schedul of the senate bill. He had bcon mistaken he afterward learned. The trust had pur
 chased AS, 900 tons.
 "How much is that in dollars an,
 oents!" called a member.
 About $25, 900, 0OO," replied MT. Nc Millin-
 In conclusion Mir. Wilson said this wa . not O time for Democratic enthusiasm. was plain Democratic necessity, but If tn
 Democratic party was to live, If 1t di 1.-Two, 1t would not lay down its weapon until 1t had made 1t impossible In thu country to lay burdens on one class of ou
 citizens for the enrichment of another Mir Wilson then demanded a vote on tn resolution. The yeas and nays were ol dorcd. The vote rcsulted-ycas, ls2; nay: l05.
 Mir. Wilson immediately arose and o
