tnaJ are HOW OppTeSSIuS tHcln anu blocking legislation.
 Mir. Hudson asked whether Mir. Will son could state definitely that the bill, as amended by the senate, would af- ford sufficient revenue to meet govern ment expenses, and Mir, Wilson said, while he could not answer in definite language, he had no difficulty in say ing that when the schedules of the bill with the senate amendments get to normal operation it would produce sufficient revenue'for the support of the government.
 Mir. Reed, in reply to Mir Wilson. said Mir. Wilson and his compatriots had met more than their match in the sen- ate conferees. The bill would be known in history as the German Brice bill, vice the Wilson bill, dead, and not dead upon the field of honor either. Laughter and applause The gentleman from West Virginia and his compatriots were little babes in the woods, and it would be found pretty soon that they were left there by their uncle in the White House. [Great laughter and applause on the republican side. And he could hear the coming of the pinions of the little birds bearing the ballots that were to bury them out of sight. Laughter. Referring to the presidents letter, he said: '''Out of your own household has come your condeN- nation Nay, out your own mouths has your condemnation come" He con graduated the country on the speedy departure of incompetency.
 Mir. Burrows (rep.. Mich.) said that the chairman of the committee on ways and means stood this afternoon de- serted by his party. He stood up this afternoon bravely and declined to lead the retreat. But his friends had de- serted him, and he stood substantially alone in his fight for tariff reform.
 "Where," Mr. Burrows asked, "are the men who rallied around him in the beginning? Many democrats-''Here we are!''] Where are the enthusiastic men of his party? The enthusiastic free traders, through whose physical exer- tions the gentleman from West Virginia was enabled to reach an eminence of debate never equalled in this hall? [Laughter.l Where are they now? ["We are all here." came from the democratic ranks. "They have all deserted. They said then to thelr leader: Though shall die with thee, yet shall not desert thee. am ready to follow thee both to prison and death. Where are they now?" More democratic cries: Here we are."
 Concluding an animated speech, Mr. Burrows predicted that the president would return the bill with scorn and would say when asked to sign it: 'Is thy servant dog that he should do this thing"
 Mir. McMillin (dem., Tenn), one of the conferees, defended the senate bill, and was asked by Mir. Boutelle (rep., Mel, sneeringly, how it happened that he was so long in finding out that the senate bill was such splendid meas ure. He replied that the gentleman from Maine and his sympathizers had prevented better bill being got.
 Several other speeches in favor of and against the proposed measure, some of them sparkling with wit and satire and some bristling with invect- i've and denunciation, were made, when, the two hours allowed for debate having expired, the vote was taken on the report of the committee on rules to concur in the senate amend ments to the tariff Gill, and it was agreed to: Yeas, 1sl; nays, 105.
 Motions to reconsider the vote and to lay that motion on the table were made by Mir. Wilson and agreed to- thus making the action of the house on concurring in the senate amend ments final.
 Then, after passing separate bills placing coal iron, barbed wire and sugar on the free list, the house, at 1925, adjourned until Wednesday.
