WASHINGTON. D. c., August Ia
There is unQuestionably good authority
for the statement that the President
will neither sign nor veto the Senate
tariff oil, but will let it become law
without his signature under the ten
days provision OF the constitution.
WAsHINeroN, d. C., August 13.-Im-
mediatelY after the adjournment Of the
caucus, the Democratic members Of the
Committee on Rules met and began the
mapping out OF the programme indi-
Gated by the caucus Mr. Cultivate, OF
the committee, was present, having
been al Crisson Springs aud delayed
by "a railroad wreck. This left the Re
publican members Of the committee in
position to dictate the terms upon
which the bills outlined by the caucus
should be passed. The Democratic
members recognizing this, proposed TO
the Republican members that Mr. Outh-
waite be considered as paired, but they
refused the proposition.
The Democrats then proposed rule
whereby an hour for debate should be
allowed on the question OF accepting
the Senate amend ments and fifteen
minutes on each of the separate bills.
No ANrENDMENTs
10 be offered or considered. The Re-
pnblicans demand five hours on the
main question and the privilege OF
amending the other bills.
The programme Of the Democrats
was TO flush up all the business to-day,
and TO do this the rule they proposed
was necessary. 10 the meantime, tel
egram had been received from Mr..
Outh waite that he would arrive az
o'clOdA and the committee decided To
wait fWaim. The rule was all ready
and the moment he arrived 10 was
signed and Mr. Catchings presented il
TO the House. It read IS follows;
EgS5SrCc, That AFTER the adoption o.
this resolution IL shall be In order in the
House to N ove that the order heretofore
made requesting a conference with the
SenauA b. the disagreeiDg votes OF the
two homes on House bill 1864 be re-
scindedS that the conferees heretofore
appointed on the part Of the House be
discharged from further duty In that
behalf. aud that the House recede from
its disagreement 20 the Senate amend
ments TO said DILL in gross, aud agrees 20
the same. That after TWO hours de-
bate on said motion (which shall be 10
dividuaD the vote shall be taken
without delay or other motion.
FesOlUcd. second, That any time after
the adoption Of this resolution II shall
be I'm order 70 present for consideration
without reference 20 committee, sep
arate bills placing upon the free list
sugar In al It's forms, coal, iron ore and
barbed wire. On each Of said bills

be allowed, aud az the end Of each de-
bate the previous question shall be con-
sjdered as ordered thereon, aud without
delay or other motion the vote shall be
taken,
DURING THE READING
Of the resolution there were jeers on
the Republican side. Mr. Burrows
calling out, "SiIly, silly" when that
mart of the rule relative TO free coal,
etc. was read. Mr.. Catchings demand
ed the previous question, bU- Mr.. Reed
arose 10 a point of order aud the battle
was on. Mr.. Reeds point of order was
that the tariff oil. wat not 10 the
possesslon of the House, aud therefore,
tbe action proposed on the tariff bill
could not De taken. He maintained
Of len ~
ferees on a bill either House could act
m a report, but ia case Of disagree
rrspt. the bill went back 70 the Body
frst requesting the conference. The
bill could not be Ia possession OF bOtn
houses al the same time; neither could
either House act except on papers be-
fore il. Tue papers could not be M pos
session OF both Houses at the same
time. 1t was parliamentary, as well
asa physical fact that she papers could
only be in one place at one time.

any effect" said Mr.. Reed In cOnclu-
SION addressing the Democratic side,

The Speaker. after a careful state

poinHof order.
The previous question was then
ordered without division.
This gave fifteen minutes on each
