WASHINGTON, April IL. Senator Hale
rep, Maiue) presented an argument
against the tariff bill, and aa interesting
feature OF the speech was a. 10 the effect
OF the bill upon the annexation seati-
ment in Canada Mr. Hale contend
ei that its passage would post pone In
definitely any prospect OF such auneNI-
tion. That one consideration he thou sht
30 important that II ought To b. a death
blow 10 the bill He expressed his con
viction that IL vote WAS taken NJ once.
AMI II senators voted acc Jrding To their
convictions. the bill woull die and
would never be resurrectel
In closing up the discussion on that
point Mr.. Hale said:
Without any con diti n or reciprocity
this bill gives up every particle OF pro-
lection which farmers and others on this
side OF the border now have, tor the b'ne.
tit of the Canadian farmer; and there by
postpones indefinitely any prospect OF
annexation. The moment that the Cana.
dians get what they want, 10y demo
cratic free trade tariff, that nom mt the
annexation sentiment dies out, aud we
may look TO se,, as the legitimate result
OF this bdl, IL il passes aud is maintained
for the next few years, the dying out Of
the annexation sentiment on tue other
side, and the American people will find
thcms Ives CONFRONTED with rival per-
haps hostile, dominion all a,ong our en-
tire northern Dor Ter. This in it>el is 50
important "A consideration that, in the
broad domain of craftsmanship II ought
90 be, alone death blow TO this b.ll
Every patriotic impulse OF the American
people il aroused against such policy"
House OF Representatives
The repu blicaus refused to vote upon

Speaker Crisp sustained the contention
Of Mr.. Reed (rep, Ne respecting the
parliamentary aspect o: the matt'r
Not Fiiibustering, Says Reed.
"The action OF the repu blicans in re-
fusiug TO vote upon the IN mOtion to dis
charge toe order OF arrest made TO the

saiI Mr.. Reed, after the adjournment OF
the hous-, ''is not iilbu-tering 1t is "A
protest against the whole proceedings.
When the order was passed W. protested
against it, believing, IN ths frat pace.
that there was n , power in the house TO
make such an order, and, secondly, that
IL could not, IN any event, be Ius>ei BY
less than n quorum. Tue speaker has
rGted that ~ "A member | cannot call for
the report of the S.rgeant-at-arm, until
he is ready To max it, and he was kept
out of the house several days at
ter the report was ready. In the vain
hope that IL would be accepted ,
and the order Of arrest disclarg.d, and
nothing further said about it, Tho re.
puDlicans do not propose 10 approve that
course. Under that order - IN I'm bers OF
the house are placed absolutely under the
control OF the sergeant at-arms; he hay
arrest them to-day or to- morrow. In Iced,
II he executes the order he must do so.
But that is not what was contem ri ted
or desired. ln endeavoring to escape the
cons quences OF their folly. the demo rats
inevitably sink deeper into the mirc.
They ask republicans to aid them by APP
proving the course they have chosen TO
adopt in this regard, an having vainly
protested against IL at the outset we do
not intend now 70 tacitly approve it by
our votes.
