Enrrr1a Mon sr,re

House Measure.
Washington, July 19.-The galleries
were crowded in anticipation of the de-
bate on the tariff conference report
when the House met today.
When Ca irman Wilson entered with
his head 3und with handkerchief
and evidently suffering great pain, the
Democratic members cheered wildly
: As soon as the reading of the journal
y was completed, Mr.. Cultivate, of Ohio,
from the Committee on Rules, offered
the following resolutions:
That after the adoption of this res
olution. it viii be in order, when the
House conference on II. B. 4S64-the tar
if bill-make a report of the disagree
ment, 10 move that the House insist
upon it's disagreement to the Senate
amendments TO said bill in gross and
ask for a further conference with the
Senate on the disag reement of the votes
Of the two houses thereon; that two
hours be allowed upon said motion. and
without other motion vote be taken
thereon; should the motion prevail, the
1 speaker shall ats once appoint the
&liOuSe confereeS and the matter shall
%ehen for the time being pass from the
considera don of the House"
Mr.. Hopkins attempted to offer an
amendment to extend the time to four
hours. but objection was made. The
previous question was ordered This
gave thirty minutes for debate.
Reed Protests.
Nlr. Reed offered a protest against
cutting off debate in this summary
manner He thought the members of
the Democratic side who desired time
to express their opinions on the amend
IaentS should be given time. With a
twinkle in his eye he yielded ten min
utes to Mr.. Johnson, of Ohio.
Mr.. johnson protested against the
special order because 1t gave the House
no opportunity to vote on separate
schedules, and especially on the sub
ject OF sugar. He denounced the dis
elimination in the sugar schedule in
favor Of the trust as criminal, and de-
clared. amid burst Of applause that
jf the sugar trust or any other trust
was to legislate for the people, it made
little difference whether that legisla--
! tion was imposed upon them by the
"A AIcKinley or the German bill

~ment," INTERCEPTED Warner, of New
York. sit would practically be an in
struction for free sugar"
Mr.. Reed then said the rule would
give the House no opportunity to express
its opinion on the vital points of differ
ences between the two houses.
After what Mr.. johnson had said"
Reed began. the House could see that
it would do Itself if it adopted this
rule. 1t would give the House no OPP
portunity to express its opinion on the
vital points Of difference between the
House and senate. but would mingle
all the differences together without
giving TO the vital points any particu-
ssssength Of emphasis.
.Strength of the House of the con-
ferees il the game of-what shall
call it?'
"Bnlf." shouted voice. as Mr.. Reed
paused.
NO" continued Mr. Reed. deprecat-
ingiy. Not bluf. It a game of moral
courage. If this rule is adopted the
Democratic sentiment in this House
will be nauzzIed. The Senate will not
be given al opportunity to see how
much strength il has here"
In closing. Mr.. Reed referred to the
fact that the final adjustment of the
tariff was entirely in the hands of
southern men.
Mr.. Cultivate, on behalf Of the Com
mittee on Rules, replied to Mr.. Reed
The constitution Of the United States,
he said. imposed upon the House the
duty of preparing a revenue bill. It
is its Glxy Is say whether at this time
the coxferees shall adhere to their
FFly. Admist a burst Of applause he
