Washington, Dec. 3O.-The house
today responded to the appeal of the
president by passing a tariff bill, the
operation of which is limited to two
and half years and which is designed
to raise $40, 200, 900 for the relief of the
treasury. The vote today was on party
lines, with two exceptions. The Re-
publicans all voted for the bill except
Hartman of Montana, who did not
vote, and the Democrats and Populists
against it, save Newlands of Neavda,
who voted in favor of the measure.
The special order under which the bill
was brought to vote, after three and
a half hours of debate, was ironclad in
character and compelled the members
to adopt or reject it without oppor-
tunity Of offering amendments of any
kind.
Washington, Dec. It.--The house
today passed the bond bill by vote
of ITO to 1856; and thcShouse, having
discharged the task for which it had
been sitting during the recess, effected
an agreement by which it should ad-
journ next week, three days at time
in order to give members an oppor-
tunity to rest and visit their homes.
The closing hours of the deabte today
were lacking in spirit, and there was
practically no excitement until the vote
was taken. The margin of 81, by
which the first section of the bill,
against which the Republican oppon-
ents of the measure massed their oppo-
sition, was passed showed that the
friends of the measure had marshaled
every vote in its favor available. AS
it was AZ Republicans refused to act
with the majority of the party. The
Populists and Democrats, with the ex-
cpetion of Hutchison, who voted for
the bill, presented an unbroken front
against the bill.
