| w AS1ilNGTON. Jan. Zl,-I he IdriII ue-
bate was concluded tonight, Sd far as it
| relates to the customs schedules. The
| time for offering amendments ceased at
| $50, when the house took recess.
| There was a great deal of demand from
| both sides of the house for recognition
for the purpose of Offering amendments,
but Mr.. Wilson had the flor and not
one of them got in. At least hundred
| amendments were shut out. 4 series of
| amendments to the metal schedule, all
making reductions, were agreed to, and
| the committee reversed its action of a
| week ago and fixed the time for free
wool to go into effect on Aug. 2. and
| the Woolen goods to go into effect on
| Dec. 2. This was accomplished by a
| change Of front on the part OF the Re-
| publicans, who voted on the former
| occasion to have free wool go into effect
Immediately upon the passage OF the
| bill.
The last series Of amendments to be
| considered were those reducing the
| duty on barley to 80 per cent ad valorem
| and on barley malt to 25 per cent. The
Eastern and Western malsters and
| brewers are fighting over the barley
schedule, and Mr.. Warner, in the clos
/ ing minutes of the session, prevented a
vote by making the point of no quorum.
| A good deal Of excitement attended the
| wind-up. The failure to vote OH these
| amendments will leave them under the
terms of the first order when the bill is
| finally reported to the house. The three
days next week under the order will be
| devoted entirely to consideration of the
| internal revenue bill. After the reading
| of the journal in the house this morning
Mr.. Haines Dem., n. " made the
| point of no quorum, and the speaker
| ordered the roll called. This was in
pursuance of policy decided upon by
! the
NEW YORK MEMBERS
| to filibuster against an order from the
committee on rules extending the tariff
| debate and authorizing the Offering of
| internal revenue bill as an amendment
| TO the tariff bill. The call developed
the presence of 1S1 members, however,
and the flibustering came to an ignom-
inous collapse. The speaker recognized
Mr.. OuthWaite Dem., o. from the COM
/ mittee on rules, who reported the special
order for the Wilson bill, and income
| tax amendment, providing Tor Il vote
| thereon Feb, /. He demanded the pre-
vIous question. The opponents of the
| income tax realized their helpieSSnesS.
! and did not even make show of resist
| ance. Mir. Cochran (Dem. On. ", how
ever. suggested a slight modification Of
The order, so as to close general debate
| on the internal revenue amendment on
| Tuesday To the other terms of the
| order he had no objections.
| I'VE can make but poor show of re-
! sistance," he SAID, against both the
| friends and enemies of the main bill.
who have united on the income tax, and
| this slight modification is all we ask
Mr.. Hatch (Dem., Mo- loudly demanded
| the regular order, and although ap-
| pealed tC, he refused to Withdraw it..
| Without further ado, then, the special
| order was adopted. The house then
/ resolved itself into the committee OF
the whole, and the consideration of the
! tariff Dill was resumed, the pending
| amendments relating to the lumber
schedule. Mr.. Doollttle (Rep.. Wash.)
made a strong plea for the substitution
of the lumber schedule of the present
! law for that of the Wilson bill. Free
| lumber, he said. would force the labor

! ployed across
| THE CANADIAN LINE.
! Mr.. Hayes (Dem., Io.) who said he
represented one of the largest lumber
districts in the country, and which con-
| tanned the largest Sawmill in the world
maintained tuat there was no fear of
| Canadian competition among the lum-
| bermen. He had investigated the whole
| question thoroughly, and it was simply
a question of stumpage.
Mr.. Oates Dem., Ala.) explained his
amendment to the Boutelle amend-
| ment, which restored the Mckinley law
| schedule. He thought that the lumber
| schedule was badly framed. 1t imposed
| a duty on the coarser grades and placed
| the finer grades on the free list. He
| thought there was an unjust diScrimi-
| nation in favor of certain classes of
| lumber, and his amendment proposed
| to reduce the rates of the Mckinley
! law half.
| The WAYS and means committee
| agreed to submit today large number
| of important amendments to the Wilson
| bill, the changes to all schedules in
| Guiding steel rails, and another Offering
| to postpone the date at which the wool
| schedule will go into effect, the renewed
| contest on the wool schedule will be to
| fix Aug. for free raw wool to take
| effect, and Dec. l for manufactured
| woolenS.
| Mr. Lynch Dem, Wis., declared he
| had and would continue to vote against
| placing any revenue articles on the free
| list. Free lumber might be disastrous,
and he would therefore vote for the
| Oates amendment. 1t would furnish
revenue, and would burden 10 one.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, one
of the Democratic members of the ways
and means committee, closed the debate
on this schedule. The vote was then
taken, first on Mr.. Oates amendment
cutting the existing rates in half, and it
was lost, 20 to s, and then on the Bou-
telle amendment to substitute the
MKINLEY LAW RATES,
which was also lost, 70 to 81. Then the
