WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The House
to-day responded to the appeal of the
President by passing the tariff bill, the
operation Of which is limited to two
and half years, and which is designed
TO raise 1000, 0CO for the relief of the
Treasury. The bond bill will be passed
to morrow. The vote was on party lines
with two exceptions. The Republicans
all voted for tho bill except Hartman.
OF Montana. who did not vote, and the
Democrats and Populist against 1t save
Newlands, Pop, New who voted in
favor OF the measure. The special
oder under which the bill WAS brought
to vote at p. NJ, after three and
half hours debate, was without opposi.
tion Of any kind. Tho oebate itself
was participated in by the leaders on
both sides. The Republicans commended
that the first necessity of the Treasury
was the revenue.
The special clause under the bill
which was brought to g vote after three
and half hours of debate, was IRON
clad in it's character and compelled the
members to adopt or reject it without
opposition of offering additional amend.
ments OF any kind Although there was
the brilliant setting that usually accom-.
panies field day in tho House, the de-
bate lacked much of the spirit and vim
which generally characterIzes q parti-
san battle in the lower branch OF Con-
gress. Even tho preliminary skirmish
over the adoption of the rule, which or
dinarilY Drecipitates tho first wrenRlinp,
passed off quietly.
The debate itself was participated In
by the leaders on both eides. The Re-
publicans conceded that the first
necessity OF the Treasury was revenue
to supply the continued deficiency. 1t
was they claimed, mn emergency revenue
bill on protection lines. 1t was signif-
cant that several notably Mr.. DalzelI,
Mr.. Payne. Mr.. Hopkins and Mr.. Gross
Venor predicted the passage OF q
genuine protective measure as soon as
the Republicans regained control q the
White Houae. The Dem ocrats took tho
position that there was no lack of
revenue In the Treasury and that the
passage OF bill to increase taxation
would in no wise help the situation nor
furnish the relief desired by the Presi-
dent and Secretary OF the Treasury.
All who took part In the debate nc
quilted themselves we'll. Mr.. DinRley
and Mr. Dolliver, OF the Republicans,
and Mr.. Crisp and Mr.. Turner, of the
Democrats, carried off tho honors. The
Dill passed to- day repeats the present
tariff law until August 1. 1895. 1t re-
stores 60 PEI cent. Of the Mckinley
rates on wool and woolens and lumber
nnd carpets. and makes horizo ntal in.
crease OF the present rates on all other
schedules, except sugar, of Is per cent.
The House at 5:37 adjourned until to-
morrow.

Objections CT Republicans VIII be OBJ
yiatod by an Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Dec &c There may be an
Important change made by the ways and
means con- mitsee in ita bond bill before
the scheme is brought before the Houso
tomorrow. Cons ant dissatisfaction has
arisen among the Repu blicans since the
text OF the bill was made public, the
diesenters asserting that it could be
used by hostile administration for the
retirement OF the greenbacks. In yea
terdsy's committee meeting a similar
charge was mado by the Democrats that
the Republicans proposed to secure
what they had always opposed and
what President Cleveland advocated,
retirement of the greenbacks.
Accordingly there will be o com mittee
meeting tomorrow morning to consider
an amendment prepared by Mr.. Hop
kins, OF Illinois, which follows: PRO
vided that nothing herein contained
shall be construed to repeal or modify
existing laws which authorize and d.
reefs the reissue Of said legal tender
notes." Mr.. Hopkine has made can
vass OF the committee and Ia confident
that the amendment will be adopted.
Western Republicans who oppose
bond Issues on principle hsve been
waging a spirited canvass against tho
bond bill. but the Hopkins amendment
VIII oo7iate their principle objections.
several amendments to both the tariff
and bond bills had been drawn by Re.
publicans whose constituents have in
terests at stake or who had individual
amendments which they deemed inn
provements upon the revenue bills; but
the rule under which the bills will be
debated and voted upon cuts off the
chanca for amendments on the floor and
destroys the plans OF thesa pentleman.

CONTRACT FORMALLY AWARDED
The Newport News Company
Will Build the attIeship.
There Mover Would Have Boon Any
Difficulty in tho Matter, as tho Bids OF
the Newport News Ship Building Com.
pany Were Much Lower, Except for the
Pacific Coast Proviso.

WASHINGTON, Dec. &c - Secretary
Herbert to-day formally awarded to the
Newport News Company, of virginia
the contract for building both of the
new battleships, for one of which the
Union Iron Works, of San Francisco.
was competitor. Tho award of the
contract has given the Secretary great
concern, for the reason thst he desired,
II possible, to meet the intention of
Congress that one ship should be built
upon the Pacific coast, and he has made
~ the subject OF special report, show
Ing how he was absolutely obliged by
the law to mako the award to the New
port News Company.
In this report Secretary Herbert saws
that the board OF bureau chiefs recon-
mended the rejection of the Cramps
bids, based on their individual plans;
which accommodation he approved.
He says the bids upon the departments
plans were as follows: Cramp Il Sons,
one ship 2,S2oo 600; two ships, So, $50 600
each. Union Iron Works, one ship,
Sa,74o,o 900; two ships, $4,000 900 each
Newport News Ship Building and Dry
Dock Company, one ship Sc. $50, 900; two
ships, $780,, 600 each.
Ii will thus be seen that there Is q
great disparity between the bids. Were
1t not for the section OF the law sppro-
priating for these ships which looks to
the construction of one OF them on the
Pacific coast there would be no room
for argument and the Newport News
Shlpbuilding Company would undoubt-
eddy be entitled to both. The peculiar
wording Of the law authorizing the cor.
strnction Of the ships, however, has
rendered 1t necessary to examine into
the question very carefully before
reaching q conclusion.
The act requires that one of the ships
shall be built upon the Pacific coast,
subject to the proviso that 1t shall ap-
pear to your satisfaction, from the bid
dings on the contracts. when the same
shall be opened and examined by you,
that the proposed battleship cannot be
constructed st fair cost upon the
Pacific coast, that is, in this case, the
Union Iron Works, then you may
authorize the construction OF such
battleships elsewhere, that is to say by
tho lowest and best bidders, the New.
