TARIFF REFORM MARCHES ON.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The amend
meutS to the iron schedule today shared
the same fate as those to the ccal ScheG-
ule yesterday. They were overwnelm-
ingIy defeated. and iron ore remains
upon the free list. The remainder of
the afternoon was spent in the discus
sion of amendments looking TO the free
admission of machinery used in the
manufacture of cotton goods. Just be-
fore the house adjourned the advocates
and opponents of the income tax upon
the Democratic side were arrayed
against each other, the latter attempting
to prevent Mr.. McMillin from reading
the internal revenue bill to the house.
The Repub licans, however. joined
hands with the income takers, and de-
feated the small band of Democrats
who have pledged themselves to use
every effort to prevent the internal rev.
enue bill, containing the income tax,
from being placed upon the Wilson bill
as rider. Mr.. Wilson, chairman of

them. allowed the debate upon the Rob
bins amendment to 1un on without in
terruptlOn today, it was said, for the
express purpose of consuming time. so
that the committee amendments which
he has 10 offer will. when he again takes
the floor, exhaust the debate until Sat
urday night, and thus shut out the pos
sibility of the internal revenue bill
being offered as an amendment to the
Wilson bill. A great deal OF bitter feel
Ing exists, however, and should such a
programme be followed it would un-
questionably lead to
CHARGES OF BAD FAITH.
AT the opening session of the house
this morning the speaker announced the
appointment Of Messrs. Coggswell and
Compton as directors for the Columbian
Hospital for Women. The senate

thorzing Justices of the supreme court

H.l. agreed to.
The house then resolved itself into
committee of the whole for the further
consideration of the tariff bill. Two
hours and fifteen minutes for debate on
the iron ore schedule remained. Mr..
Taylor Rep., Tenn.) offered an amend
ment to the pending amendment of
Oates, placing a duty of 40 cents ton
on ore, the provisions of the Mckinley
law, which makes the duty 75 cents per
ton. Mr. Beltzhoover (Dem., Pa )opened
the debate with a sensational denuncia-
ton of the Wilson DILL Every compro-
mise on question of principle, he said,
involved surrender of right, and had
ended in ignominiouS failure History
was filed with striking Illustrations of
this fact. Ii the Wilson bill became
law, it would also be a failure. Pre-,
tending to be neither protection nor
free trade, it has the faults of both and
the merits of neither. Pretending to

AMERICAN LABOR.
Every Democratic platform from the
foundation of the government until 1892
had declared for protection to American
labor.
How about the platform of 1892"
interrupted Mr.. Hall Dem., MOI
Did it not denounce the protection
system?"
Il mean," replied Mr.. Beltzhoover,
"that all the platforms of the party
tended in that direction"
"Were you not elected on the platform
of 1892, which declares protection to be
fraud and a robbery?' asked Mr..
Goldzier Dem., Ill)
Il was" replied Mr.. Beltzhoover,
"but was elected upon it as construed
by Mr.. Cleveland and the New York
World" He went ON to explain that
the New York World maintained
that the platform had been adopted by
few radicals, reinforced by the SNAP
PERI delegation from New York and
others opposed to Mr.. Cleveland's nom

(Which is the best Democratic au-
thority?" asked Mr.. johnson, of Ohio.
"The New York World or the Demo
