WASHINGTON, Aug. 49, - At G'3O
o'clock tonight the Senate Tariff lill, |
unchanged, unamended, untouched,
was passed by the House, and the
measure only awaits now the signature
of the President, or his failure to sign
it within ten days, to be enacted into
law. 1t was passed according to the
program arranged yesterday and rati-
fed at caucus of the Democrats this
morning. The caucus met at 10 o'clock
and adjourned at noon with the under
standing that the Senate Bill and sepa-
rate measures placing coal, sugar, iron
ore and barbed wire on the free list
should be put through the House before
adjournment to-day, but an unexpected
obstacle was encountered in the absence
! from Washington of Mr.. Cultivate, of
Ohio, "A Democratic member of the
Committee on Rules, whose presence
was necessary to enable the Committee
I to bring a special order for carrying out
| the caucus arrangements. Mr.. Outh-
waite, who was absent on account of
illness in his family appeared, however,
at . o'clock, and few minutes later
the Committee on Rules reported the
special order and the House entered
into one of the greatest days in its his
tory.
The special rule was agreed to after a
short debate. Then the Senate Bill was
debated for two hours and after counter
accusations by the Republicans and
Democrats and severe arraiguments of
the majority by several of its own mem.
bers, the Bill was passed by vote of
lSl to 1916. Several Democrats voted
against the Bill while the Populists sup.
ported the majority. There was much
applause when the troublesome measure
was finally out of the way. Then the
separate bills. placing iron ore, coal,
barbed wire and suger on the free list
were taken up in the order named, and
passed, after debate of half an hour on
each, and what was probably the big
gest day in the history of the House
from the standpoint of work accom-
plished came to an end.
WASHINGTON, August l5.-In the Sen.
ate to-day letter from Secretary Car
Isle was read in which the Secretary
, opposes the placing of sugar, iron, Goa
and barbed wire on the free list on the
ground that it will create "A deficit
Berry moved that the sugar bill be
| called up for immediate action. Harris
said in view OF the Secretary's letter h,
|
: ance Committee, where it could be deal
: with as deemed best to the interests o
| the Government. Berry said the Sen
: ate had been charged with being favor
. able to the sugar trust and he wante,
, that body to be placed on record so tn
; people would know just how it stood
He did not want the bills buried il
committee.
Vest argued in favor OF immediat,
action on the bills. He was ready tC
fight under Cleveland flag to the dealt
for tariff reform. He declared Secretary
Carlisle's letter was an arraignment o
the House and showed that if the vii
son bill had passed there would have
been deficit. He declared there nevel
had been a time when the Wilson bill o
anything like it could pass the Senat,
: after the sugar schedule had been ar
, ranged in conference. He said III
2 Senate conlerees were much surprised

l. said, Vest declared, before send
4 ing is letter to Wilson, tina
;. he would support bill as it was now
;. Cleveland's letter to Wilson was goo
y campaign document for the Reput
licans. He had no quarrel, he said, wit
