1t Went Through the House by
a Vote Of 100 to ITO.
THE BANKING BILL IS REPORTED

Secretary Carlisle's Financial Plan Formally
Laid Before the House Democratic SEN
ators Are Bound to Prepare the Supple
mental Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--There is well
defined movement on the Democratic side
of the senate to got up the supplemental
tariff bills, notwithstanding the decision
of the caucus of last week to give the pref
ercnce to other measures and virtually to
shave the tariff bills
Senators Vest and Berry are engineer
ing this movement, and there was strong
indications during the morning hour that
thoy considered themselves strong enough
to move Absentees were sent for and
tho senators interested were evidently ON
the qui vive. The iaot, however. that Sen
ator Morrill, had given notice Of q speech
cut them off in the morning hour and at
o'clock the Nicaraguan canal bill was
taken up as unfinished business, thus
causing them to further postpone their
efforts The opponents Of the bill express
the opinion that it will be impossible to
get the bills up.
1t Is understood that the sugar bill
would have been given the preference If
the tariff bill had obtained hearing. 1t is
now considered probable that there will
be an effort today to displace the Nicara-
guam bill with the sugar bill. This effort
might have been made yesterday except
for courtesy to Senator Dolph, who had
given notice of a speech on the canal bill.
The struggle over the house bill to au-
thorize railroad pooling was terminated
by the passage of the bill by the decisive
| vote of 1866 to 110. The Cooper substitute,
which placed the entire control of the con-
ditions Of pooling in the hands Of the in
/ terstate commerce commission and gave
/ it absolute power in the matter Of revok-
ing pooling orders, was defeated, as were
all subsequent efforts to amend and re-
commit it, and the bin passed as reported
| from the committee. Several attempts
were made to defeat tho bill by fllibuster-
ing, but they, too were unsuccessful.

In the morning hour Mr. Mallory again
called up the bill to promote the efficiency
of the revenue cutter service, which pro
| volSed Mr.. Champ Clarlx's remarks on
Saturday, and once more the Missourian
took the floor in pursuance of his ayowed
| intention Of talking the bill TO death. The
bill was almost dead, he began. He was
looking into its open grave, and he pro
posed to consume his time in eulogizing
the heroes Of the border states on both
sides. He proposed, he said, to lift them
to tho highest pinnacle Of glory. Mr.
| Clark then took off his cuffs, and for AZ
minutes kept the house in a roar with hu
morous and stirring anecdotes Of "ob
scure heroes
Ho paid rough and ready but eloquenf
tributes to the gallant deeds Of Silas Ad
ans of Kentucky, General Sickles of New
York, w. o. p. Breckinridge Of kentucky

eral Rousseau, Old Pap Price and Franz
p. Blair Of Missouri In concluding Mr
Clark said he expected to be flayed by 10
newspapers.
Mr. English (Dcm., n j. again profleI
ed the request he has made on all occa
sions when he could get the floor for unan

tions for the public building at Newark

preparation committee, objected, and Mi
English retired, threatening to continu
his objections to all unanimous consen
hereafter.
The consideration Of the Nicaragua cans
bill was continued in the senate. Senate
