THE TARIFF TESTED
Motion by Teller to Table Lost by
a Decided Vote.
THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION NATTER.
In the House Consideration of the Legisla-
tive, Executive and Judicial Bill Con-
neutrality-suspicious. Matters
and Washington News.

AONS 4HoJ -
exposition subcommittee has taken no
action on the main question at issue.
It's members, however, did a good deal
of talking about the alleged sale of the
building at Chicago.
1t was decided that Mr.. Livingston,
it's chairman. should communicate
further with the secretary of the treas
urv. Mr.. Livingston at once sent a
telegram to that official asking him if
the sale had been finally contaminated,
and if it had not, to hold the matter in
allowance until further representations
could be made to him.
There is a question as to whether the
sale has been finally closed. After the
proposition to purchase the building
for use at Atlanta was preached, it APP
pears that the Chicago Salvage Com
panv made an offer of So 20 for it. Mr..
O. O. Stealey, acting as the agent OF
the department, accepted the offer, and
so notified Secretary Carlisle by tele-
graph. The secretary was absent and
is still away.
1t is claimed on behalf Of the Salvage
Company that that Mr.. Stealey's action
finally closed matters. But Mr.. Liv-
ingston and other members Of the eX-
position committee are not satisfied
that such is the case.
Mr.. Kyle introduced a resolution in
the senate which went over till today
declaring it as the sense of the senate
that the United States should not use
force for the purpose of restoring to
the throne the depOsed queen of the
Co-Ir;.l 1c1o,Ic ~. lacfTOrinr thn q "
listing government; that the provisional
| government having been duly recOg-
nized, the highest national interests re-
quire that it shall pursue it's w line
of policy and that foreign intervention
in the political affairs of those islands
would be regarded as acts u~nfriendly
| to the government of the United States.
The tariff bill was taken up at 1880
o'clock Wednesday, the pending ques-
ton being paragraph III, relative to
railway bs rs Of iron or steel.
Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, withdrew the
finance committee amendment and
moved to make the duty seven-tWen-
tieths Of a cent per pound.
Mr.. German then addressed the
senate.
Mr.. Aldrich replied to Mr.. German
and was followed by Mr.. Teller, who,
as a test question, moved to lay the
tariff bill on the table. The vote re
sulted-yes, 20; nays, SO.
In the House.
The house at 1890 again took up the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill, Mr.. DearmOnd's amend
ment to strike out the appropriation
for the civil service commission being
under consideration.
Mr.. Anderson, Of West Virginia, Of
fered an amendment repeating h civil
service law and the acts amendatory
thereof. But it was ruled out of order.
The paragraph of the bill transfer
ring to the control of the civil service
commission clerks detailed for duty
therein went out on a conceded point
of order that it was new legislation.
A motion to strike out the paragraph
appropriating $4,000 for travelling and
other expenses of the commission was
lOSt-54 to 40.
This closed the consideration of the
civil service schedules, the net result
being hat the last paragraph only re-
mains in the bill, the appropriation for
values for the commissioners and clerks
having been stricken out yesterday.
Notice was given that a separate vote
will be called for when the bill is re.
nOrted to the house.
