ommClcd that tho matter also be REFER

order that the lHity of the church might
have something TO say about the adop-
ton of the report, Or, kynctt made Il

slOnary bishop was announced, II re-
suited IN the election Of Rev. DR.. j. c.

the section which provided that the del

oluded. on motion OF Mr.. Evans, Rep.,
Ky.), the house went into committee OF
the whole to consider the bill to repeal
the free alcohol clause Of the existing
tariff law.
Mr. Evans,in charge OF the bill, open
cd the debate in support OF the measure,
explaining the necessity for the leGlsla-
ton. He said the bill would not effect
the claims now pending, amounting TO
$l5000.OO0.
Mr.. Evans, offered the amendment TO
the bill which had been agreed upon as
compromise by some Of the friends and
opponents OF the measure. II provided
for a Joint committee OF three members
from each house OF Congress TO con~
slider MI questions relating to the free
use of alcohol In the arts to report their
conclusions In December.
Speaking to the question Of the justice
Of the claims fled under the present law,
Mr.. Evans expressed the opinion that as
manufacturers had charged their GUS
toners the amount Of tax, they were
not entitled 10 have Il refunded by the
government

OF the opposition to the bill, said he con-
cefyed Il to be the policy Of the Republi-

and so 'conceivinG he believed It should
give manufacturers free alcohol for use
in arts. Indeed, he said, the platform
OF 1892. brought In by Major Mckinley
(Applause). contained a declaration FOR
free alcohol.
How do you account for the fact?"
Interrupted Mr.. McMiHin, tDem.

chairman Of the committee on ways and
means, made no provision for free alco-
I1ot in what WIS known as the Mckinley
bill?"
Mr.. Russell, in reply. called attention
20 the fact that the Mckinley law re-
duced the tax on alcohol 37ls per cent
and al the same time increased the I'M

OF which alcohol was used. GIVE us
