IN THE HOUSE.

The House went into committee of the
whole to further consider the anti-free
alcohol bill,
MIR. Dolliver, Republican of iowa, ad.
vooated the BILL Mr.. Dolliver said the
proposition was simply business matter
and the tariff question was not involved.
1t was impossible now to enter upon re-
vision Of the tariff. Nothing practicable
could be expected from the inert Popu-
llstio mass, called the United States
Senate, and the inert Democratic mass,
called the President of the United States.
(LauRhter.)
Mr.Dolliver branohed off into q general
tariff speech, which glittered with
characteristic descriptive sentences. Ex-
Governor Boies of Iowae career afforded
him text for much Of his speech.
Mr. Knox, Republican OF Massachusetts,
opposed any such material modification
OF the tariff law as the bill proposed,
without modification of other import
ant features,
Mr.. McMillin, Democrat of Tennessee,
denied that 1t was in the interest of the
wh1skey trust.
Mf. Dingley, chairman of the ways and
means committee said that there were
three points to be borne in mind in oon-
sldering the bill: First this bill was not
tariff law, simply an internal revenue
MEASURE; second with the claims pilinR
up against the government, good policy
demanded the repeal Of section 61 the
third section in question was absolutely
lmpracticable of administration. 1t was
known to be SO when inserted in the bill
by the Senate, and was expected to be
reframed in conference.
Mr.. Evans, Republican of Kentucky,
In charge of the bill, offered the commit
tee amendment providing for joint
select committee of three Senators and
three members to consider all questions
relating to the use of alcohol in the
manufacture and arts, free Of tag, who
shall report their conclusions to Congress
ON the first Monday in December.
Mr.. Quigg Republican of New York,
offered an amendment providing that the
law be suspended, not repealed, pending
the report of the committee.
Mr.. Walker, Republican OF Massachu-
setts. said the bill was full justification
OF the refusal of the Democratic admins
tration to enforce the law.
Mr. Knox asserted that the committee
amendment was complete give away OF
tne whole case. The contention had been
ohat II was impossible to frame re8ula-
t1ons ny which the free use OF alcohol IN
ohe manufactures and arss could be
secured, with safety to the revenues. This
amendment proposed commission for
Gi, Gne purpose of framing such regulations.
The committee was agreed to with praoti-
cal unanimity Mr.. Quigg's amend
1nent was rejected, 81 to 49, The bill was
ordered, so to &c. reported to the House
Win the recommendation that as
amended it be passed. The bill was
passed-yeas, 165; nays, So.

Skirt manufacturers are
as likely to make mistakes
as dressmakers are. A

a poor one, when you are
buying it but when it is
worn, then the goodnes
of one and the badness of
the other are demonstrate
ed. That's why we are
particular to keep only
the products of the best

tories, and this is why
the skirt department here
is doing such an enor-
nous business. The same
care in cut and finish is
employed in the cheap
skirts, as in the more ex-
pensive ones, the differ
ence in price being main
ly due to the difference
in material.
For instance we sell a
very excellent black sat-

the new Opera House tonight.
The newspapers and posters had an
nounoed caucus of the Republicans of
Biddeford, to be held tonight for the Sc
lection Of delegates to the state oonven-
tion at Bangor.
The crowd was there, In the seats,
aisles and corridors, waiting for the fun
to begin, and nobody who went for fun
alone, was disappointed.
There were two tickets in the field,
and before the hall was vacated, both
tickets had been elected. 1t was n
double-ended victory. which the COM
mittee on credentials at the Bangor con-
venton will have an opportunity to
anaizye and straighten out
The caucus was called to order prompt

Republican city committee, who took the
liberty of calling Assessor L. J. Renouf
to preside. One faction took exceptions

John J. Traynor, an ex-police officer,
stepped into the orchestra circle and ex-
oitedly informed the assembly that the
Young Mems Republican Club did not
recognize this caucus as legally called.
Then he retired, amid the mingled plaudits
and shouts of derision.
Then followed chain Of opposing
motions relating to the appointments of
committees, the selection of secretary
and the makeup of the representative
Bangor delegation. Chairman Renouf
announced that City Clerk William P.
Freeman had been chosen ecretary.
A motion that the chairman appoint
committee of three to present list of
delegates was promptly recognized, but
Col. L. n. Kendall's ofPeredfamendment,
to the effect that the delegation be nom
mated from the floor. went begging for
recognition. The chairman picked his
committee and they retire d. amid a
tumult that threatened to drift into
something more serious than a wordy
war.
While the committee WAS out Col.
Kendall attempted to have his fayorite
list of delegates nominated. but was
ruled out of order.
the committee returned and reported
the following delegates, w hich the chair
man promptly declared elected in spite
of doubts and protests. Charles H.
