suited with gentlemen on both sides,
he said he should ask to have the
bill laid on the table, to be taken up
tomorrow Immediately after the read
ing of the journal.
Mr.. Hill thereupon gave notice that
at that time he should move 10 in
struct the conferees to place coal and
iron on the free list, and that he
I would at the same time submit some
remarks on the question.
! Mr.. Henderson rep, Neb.) inquired
I whether there was not Il communi-
cation from the president on the sub
| ject.
, None that l have" replied Mr..
Voorhees,, and the motion to lay on
the table was then agreed to.
/. Washington, July 19.-The galleries
! were crowded and the scene on the
fl )or was an animated one in anticl-
patton of the debate on the tariff con
ference report, when the house met
today. While the journal was being
read Chairman Wilson entered the
room. His head was bound with a
/ white handkerchief, and he WAS evi-
! IDENTITY suffering great pain. His APP
pearance was the signal for Il great
demonstration on the democratic side,
the members cheering wildly At the
| Sight of their tariff leader
j. There We're no preliminarcs AS
soon as the reading of the journal
had been completed Mr.. Cultivate
of Ohio, from the committee on rules,
offered the following resolution, I'M
| der which two hours were to be al
| lowed to debate the conference report
of the tariff bill
II That after the adoption of this
resolution it shall be in order, when
! the house conferees on house bill 1861
! Uhe tariff bilD make Il report of dis
agreement, to move that the house in
sist upon its disagreement to the
senate amendments to said bill, in
! gross, and ask Il further conference
{ with the senate Oh the disagreement
votes of the two houses thereon. That
upon said motion, and then, without
other motion, the vote shall be taken
! thereon
! ! Mr.. Hopkins attempted to offer an
amendment to extend the time TO
four hours, but objection was made.
The previous question was ordered.
Mr., Reed took the floor, and offered
Il word of protest against cutting off
debate in this summary name. He
thought there were members on the
democratic side who desired time TO
express their opinions of the senate
amendments. With something of Il
twinkle in his eye he yielded ten
minutes to Mr.. Johnson, the free
| trad" single taXcr from Ohio. Mr..
johnson Immediately launched 4 pro
test against the special order because
1t gave the house no opportunity TO
vote separate Instructions on the diff
ferent schedules, and especially on the
| subject OF sugar. He denounced the
discrimination in the sugar schedule
in favor of the trust as criminal and
! declared amid burst Of applause,
that if the sugar trust or any other
trust was to legislate for the people,
| it made little difference whether that
! legislation was imposed upon them by
The Mckinley or the German bill,
Tine rule was adopted. Immediately
afterward the speaker recognized
| Chairman Wilson. Rising in his
place on the right Of the chair. his
bandaged head making him look like
a worn and battle-scarred veteran,
the appearance of the chairman of the
ways and means committee was greet
ed with the most urbounded enthuSi-
assn on the democratic side, cnthusi-
assn in which the crowded galleries
Joined. The bandage extended down
/ over Mr.. Wilson's eyes, completely
binding him, but with stoical foru-
tude, in clear, ringing tones, he de-
livered his speech in support of the
position taken by the house conierees
against the senate amendments. Nari-
Gus Others also spoke.
Washington, July 20-Crowds such
as had not thronged the senate in
months packed the galleries today.
The house and the president had
thrown down the gauntlet to the sen
ate ON the tariff question, and
pitched battle was expected
Senator Smith of New Jersey opened
the fight with an attack on the presi-
dent for interfering, as he said, with
legisla ton, and a vigorous defense or
the senate bill. Senator Hill followed

to plan for free raw materials IN
keeping with democratic campaign

The house proceedings were de-

very slim attendance of members
when the speaker called the house to
order.
Mr.. Bowers demanded the regular
