BAD BLOOD DEVELOPS
Tracey Says He'll Slap the Face Of the
Next Man Who Insults Him.
CONTINUING THE DEBATE
Johnson. OF Ohio, and Dalzell. Of
Pennsylvania. the Principal
Speakers of the Day
In the House.

WAsHIS6roy, Jan. l0.-Boutelle again
tried 60 secure consideration for his Ha-
waiian resolution, which was reported by
the naval affairs committee and laid on
the table, but was finally overruled By the
speaker. The attempt TO secure unani-
nous consideration for the Boutelle reso-
luton raised another merry row which
concluded with a verbal duel between
Bou,ellc and the speaker. During the war
of words, Tracey of New York asked the
for the regular order.
"Oh, the white house clock has not
struck this morning" interposed Bout
ellie. sarcasticaliy.
Tracey's cheek famed. He inquired
holly whether member. while making a
parliamentary inquiry, could be affronted.
Boutelle disclaimed any intention of in
sulting his colleague and Tracey took his
seat, still chatting under the affront put
upon him, and declaring TO his friends
that he would not stand this sort of treat
ment any longer. THE next man who
says anything Of that kind" he declared,
will get his face slapped
The tariff debate was then resumed.
Hopkins finished his speech begun yester-
day and was followed by Johnson of Ohio,
in support of the measure. Johnson
opened by assailing and arraigDing the
democratic party for inaction in carrying
out it's promise 10 reform what it had
characterized during the campaign as the
"robber tariff he said: I'VE pledged
ourselves to abolish it If the American
people gave us the authority.
They did give us the authority, and
then our haste to repeal oppressive
taxes suddenly subsidized, and, in.
stead of flying at the throat of the pro.
,ected baron and robber trusts the great
democratic party began, as it were, TO
was its tail and look for crumbs. If
Cleveland had shown the sagacity and
courage the situation demanded, the ink
would not have been dry on the commits
sions of his secretaries before congress
would have been called into extra session
TO relieve the country of its burden of tax
alton.
"As a climax to all this delay came the
shameful days We have just passed
through, in which the house stood par
alyzed because, despite our overwhelming
majority, We democrats would neither
furnish a quorum TO be counted, nor count
ons really present" johnson COM
mended the bill for it's blow at the sugar
trust, but added: "The whiskey trust,
the steel rail trust, the cordage trust, the
bicycle trust and tho lead trust are left
free TO pluck the American consumer" He
spoke OF steel rails, of which he ID one Of
the largest manufacturers in the country,
declaring that the present duty is equal to
50 per cent, while the present bill proposes
a reduction OF % per cent. This gave a
protection OF 25 per cent. on steel rails,
which could be produced as cheaply here
as anywhere. The cost of rails was only
Sl9 per ton, but the pool is maintaining
the price at s2i. The bill which he would
pass, he said, would abolish all import
and corresponding internal revenue du.
tics, discharge all officials collecting such
duties and direct the secretary to sell all
the custom houses. Such bill would in.
cite no more opposition than the poor
timid little Wilson bill and would raise a
mighty support.
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, followed John.
son, picturing at length the condition oi
the country, declaring that the house ia
with American industries dominates the
policy OF the nation. He declared If the
proposed bill was enacted posterity
would pronounce il tho most infamous
legislative crime of our history. He de-
| clared that the failure to put duty OF
tea, coffee and sugar was a step to catch
voters but he warned the majority that
the exemption of the poor mans break
fast table would not compensate him fol
the deprivation of opportunities 10 labor
under proper conditions to earn Ameri
can wages.
At the conclusion of Dalzelrs speech
woomer Of Pennsylvania, took the floor
He was followed by Coombs of New York
and then the house took recess until to
night. AT the night session. Snodgrass oi
| Tennessee, Mahon of Pennsylvania, ant
Curtis of Kansas, were speakers, and a
1880 the house adjourned.
