WITHOUT RIDERS.
House Democrats Decide to Keep Tarin
Amendment 8 off other Bills.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The tariff man
ayers of the house have determined to take
no further steps toward offsetting the
tariff increases in sugar and other tarlf
amendments to the appropriation bills
The purpose had been to amend the
legislative appropriation by provision
making sugar free.
Representative Breckinridge of Arkan-
sas. of ths ways and means COM
mittee, recently prepared a new res
oiu.ion calculated to permit tariff
amendments 70 appropriation bill. CHAIR
man Sayers o. the appropriation commit
tee, and Representative Carey of Texas,
introduced similar bills. These various
bills went to the committee on rules where
they have not been acted upon. Notwith-
standing this fact, the legislative appro-
priation bill WAS called up today and it
will be passed without any tariff riders.
In deciding on this course the tariff lead
ers in the house concluded il would be I'M
wise to take any step which might en-
barrass the tariff bill as whole III
the senat-. They say, however. that the

the house leaders do not think 1t advlsa bic

but not to bounty. IL is said the abolition
OF the bounty may be done without new
rule as IL is he privilege OF any member 10

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Representativ
Dunphy of New York had a hearing TODAY
before the house rules committee on his
resolution TO investigate naval armor plate
frauds. He went into the details of the
frauds to show the committee the desira-
biiity of probing the matter TO the bottom
MIR. Dunphy said the frauds for which the
government had already assessed the Car
negIe company Sl40 600 occurred betwesn
November, lS!2. and September. 1893 The
same class of evidence, he said, showed
thst similar irregularities occurred prior
10 November, 1892, and subsequently, To
September, 1898 Il was further urged
that the investigation now making by the
officers OF the navy department would be
futile. as there was no power TO summon
Witnesses or to administer oaths 10 those
who voluntarily appeared. Mr.. Dunphy
