Democrats we're on their feet at the same
time demanding recognition. Among them
was Representative Burke Cochran, OF New
York. Owing to the !ateness of the hour
the rule was adopted limiting further
sneeches to five minutes. Then Mr.
Cochran delivered an eloquent speech
against a surrender to the senate, BETTER
no tariff legislation than the senate BILL"
he exclaimed
Speaker Crisp offered resolution that
the house conferees recede. The previous
question on the resolution was ordered
by a vote of 112 to 1Ol.
CRIsP's RESOLUTION.
Speaker Crisp's resolution lnstructs the
conferees to recede from their disagree
ment to the senate bill and instructs the
ways and means committee to bring in
separate free sugar, free iron and free
coal bills.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the caucus the house conferees went into
session in the rooms of the committee of
ways and means. Representative Breck-
enridge, of Arkansas, who had been ad-
vising with the conferees, says that an
other meeting with the senate conferees
will not be necessary and that the house
conferees can bring in report receding
from their disagreement to the senate
amendments and concurring in them,
which will pass the bill.
The committee on rules have not yet
prepared the special order for carrying
out the caucus program, but no doubt
will do so as soon as the conferees are
ready to report.
FIFTEEN MINUTES DEBATE
was allowed when the vote was taken on
the lotion to recede and pass the senate
bill. A division on the resolution was
demanded 80 as to have separate vote
on the first part of the resolution to re-
cede from the disagreement to the senate
amendments and the provision for separ-
ate bills. The first part of the resolution
was adopted by rising vote of 100 to 81,
and the second part was adopted without
division and the caucus then ad djourned.
Among those who voted against the
resolution were the Louisiana members,
Representatives Warner, Strauss and
Tracey, of New York, Tarsney, of Mis-
souri,, Cochran, Covert and Dunphy, of
New York, Cooper, of Indiana, Johnson,
of Ohio, Kilgore, of Texas, the Maryland
delegation, Representatives Raynor, Nc
Kaig, Rusk and Tabott. Representative
Breckenridge, of Arkansas, the member
of the ways and means committee, and
Representative Williams, of Mississippi,
also voted against the resolution.
EVERYBODY EXCITED.
When the house met five minutes after
the Democratic caucus adjourned there
were more members on the floor than at
any time since the tariff bill passed. The
greatest confusion existed on the floor.
Members stood about in excited groups
discussing the situation, the general
understanding being that the resolutions
to agree to the senate amendments and
probably consider bill for free coal,
iron, sugar and barbed wire would be
brought up this afternoon. Under the
rules Mr.. Hurd, chairman of the commit
tee on tine District of Columbia, pending
action by the committee on rules, claimed
the day for business reported from his
committee on the District of Columbia.
