The House of Representatives dis
posed of the Tariff bill rapidly at to-
DAVIS session. There was a sharp, but
brief, encounter in the Ways and
Means Committee between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans before the
House met, but the minority threw
up the sponge after offering several
amendments to the bill, which were
voted down.
After the House convened, the ex-
citing time that was anticipated dld
not occur. This was due to the fact
that the Rules Committee brought in
a stronger rule closing the debate In
two hours and referring the bill to the
Conference Committee, noncurrlng, OF
course, in the Senate amendments 10
the House bill previous to the final
disposition of the bill in the House.
There was the usual debate before
this action was taken between the
Democrats and Republican tariff lead
ers, but at no time did any particular
excitement prevail. Chairman Will
son very automatically defended the
House bill and criticized the Senate
bill. His speech, however, did not
indicate that he was prepared TO make
a terrific fight against the Senate
amendments, ana the supposition
seems to be general tonight that the
opposition to the German compromise
Tariff bill will not be very deter
mined.
1T seems to be ten to one, so far as
opinions can be gathered, that the
more important schedules fixed in the
Senate bill will be finally agreed to
by the House confeTrees and the lower
branch as a whole. 1t is now believed
that the sugar schedule will not be
changed, and that the coal, iron ore
and wooden schedules are liable TO be
slipped through without any material
changes.

Prendergast Il Hanged.
CHICAGO, July l4.-Patrick Eugene
j. PTendeTgast, the murderer of Mayor
Carter Harrison, who was hanged yes
terday morning, refused until the pre-
vious evening To receive spiritual con-
ISOLATION, but when rightfall came he
asked for Father MuldOOn. Between
and o'clock in the morning he par
took heartily of ham and eggs, and
about o'clock sent word To JailOr
Morris that he was again hungry.
The jailOr had the prisoner served
with another hearty meal, which he
seemed to relish greatly. The assaS-
sin talked freely with his spiritual adj
visors, and several times remarked,
"NOu must stay with me TO the end"
As the hour for the execution came
nearer, PTendeTgast showed signs of
slightly increasing nervousness, but
on the whole he was remarkably calm
and collected. Father Barry was a
constant attendant upon Prendergast
all the morning. The little assassin
was most deferential. He announced
with a tribe OF bravado, "Ill die game
and set a great and shining example
To my country" The trap was sprung
ut 1l:4S, and in nine minutes life was
extinct. Prendergast was calm until
the last.
