The consideration of the Indian ap. propraton bill was resumed, the pending question being an amendment offered yes- terday by MT.

The amendment was discussed for three hours and was then laid on the table-yeas 26, nays 19. While the discussion was still going on, message was received from the house asking for new conference ou the tariff bill. It was temporarily laid on the table.
 Ats p. m. the message from the house asking for a further conference on the tariff bill was laid before the senate and MT.

 IN THE HOUSE.
 The house galleries today bore living evil dence of public interest in the tariff bill. For the first time in nearly a month the seats in all the galleries except the diplo- matic were filled in anticipation of debate on the report of the conferees. There was added also interest in the report that Rep resentative c. K. Breckinridge of Arkansas had been selected as minister to Russia, which was evidently to be discussed on the floor.
 While the journal was being read MT. Wilson, chairman of the committee on ways and means, with his face entirely hidden by handk erchief, which bandage he had been compelled to wear over his eyes, iu which is located the neuralgia troubles from which he is suffering, accompanied by MT. Breckinridge, came into the house. AS they appeared the clerks voice was drowned by the applause which went up.
 Prayer was offered by Rev. J. H. Me Carthy, and immediately after the reading of the journal MT. Outhwaite of Ohio pre- scented resolution from the committee on rules providing that when the conerees on the tariff bill report their disagreement it shall be in order to move that the house i'm sist upou It's disagreement to the senate amendments in gross; that the motion shall be discussed two hours, when, with out intervening motion, votes shall be taken. If the motion shall be agreed to the speaker shall name conferees on the part of the house and the bill shall then for the time being pass from consideration of the house.
 i Mir. Hopkins of Illinois attempted to 1 offer an amendment to extend the time to four hours, but objection was made and the previous question ordered. This gave thirty minutes for debate. : Mir. Reed took the floor and offered word of protest against cutting off debate in this summary manner. He thought there were members of the democratic side who desired time to express their opinion of the senate amendments.
 With something of twinkle in his eye he yielded ten minutes to Mir. Johnson, free trade single taxer from Ohio. MT. Johnson immediately launched protest against the special order because it gave the house no opportunity to vote separate instructions on the diff srent schedules, especially on the subject of sugar. He de- nounced discrimination in the sugar schedule in favor of a 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 differ ence whether tho legislation was imposed upon them by the Mckinley or German bill.
 The order Of the rules committee was adopted, and Chairman Wilson was recog- nlzed. There was a burst of hearty ap-N plause from the democratic side as he arose with the tariff bill and disagreeing report in his hand. He sent the report of dis agreement to the speakers desk and it was read, briefly stating disagreement in toto.
 At 1:40 o'clock motion by MT. Wilson to insist upon its disagreement to the senate amendments and for further conference was agreed to, and Speaker Crisp reap pointed the forme,, conferees with Messrs. Wilson, McMillin, Turner land Mont gomery, democrats, and Reed, Burrows and Payne, republicans.
 The conference reports on the naval and diplomatic and consular appropriation bills were presented and agreed to.
 Mir. Catchings reported from the commit tee on rules an order directing that the next order of business before the house shall be the Tucker joint resolution proposing an H Rnf n n tint ion inn
