WASHINGTON. Jan. 14.-Tarir will bo aim ost
the exclusive talk in the House this week.
The general debate ended with a remarkable
demonstration on Saturday night when the
hail was thrown open to the public. and in the
presence OF more people probably than ever
gathered within its walls before. Representa-
tive Bryan delivered his speech OF two hours
and forty minutes in favor OF the Wilson
bill advocating it as an approach to free trade.
beginning with to- morrow's session the House
will take up the consideration Of the bill un-
der the e-minute rule. and the paragraphs
will be open to amendment. Already the
desk Of Chairman Richardson Is covered with
amendm ents that will be proposed by various
members. who want to make sure that their
propositions shall receive proper attention.
The probabilities are. however. that few II
any amendments. except such as the Com
mittee on Ways and Means approve. will re-
ceive su ufIlcent support in the House to secure
their adoption.
The order OF consideration OF amendments
has been under consideration by Chairman
Richardson. lie was inclined to hold that
amendments would be received as they were
proposed. without reference to the relation OF
the schedule which they affected to the order
OF the bill Unless he has changed his mind,
therefore. there will be no priority given to
amendments to one section over those to an
other The bill will be thus discussed and
open to amendment this week and next, and
then vote taken on It's passage on Monday
the 2Bth inst Night sessions will be held, at
their lanHth the

for. The scheme OF internal revenue will be
