EXCITING SCENES SIMILAR TO

TOPEKA (Kan.), Feb. 1.-THE excit-
ing times experienced in the House in
1898, when the Populist minority re-
sisted the rule of the Repu blican ma

CubNson (R) protested that such ac-

Lambert demanded a roll call lInon
the appointment of the committee to
revise, but the question was ignored by
Speaker pro tenn Weilep, who put the
question by a viva voce vote
Immediately the Republicans were in
am uproar, demanding recognition and
repea ted4y calling for a roll call
Weilep threatened with the Sergea MT

finally called up the first bill on the
calendar.

declared the bill passed. So great was
the 'hubbub no one even knew the name
of the bill.
UnmOved, the Speaker pro tenn or-
dered the reading of a second bill. AT
this some of the PopulIsts added a pro-
test to that of the Republicans. an!
cries o f. Constitution. " '.revolutio nary"
were heard. All claims of recognition
went unheeded until the second bill
was announced passed.
Further confusion was averted final
ly by a motion to take a recess. which
carried. During the recess both sides
of the House held caucuses, and the
Republicans decided to stand solid for
their demand for roll call. Senator
elect Harris worked with the Populists
to show them that Weilepis ruling was
wrong, and that the minority did have
the right to ask for a roll call. When
the House reconvened there was no
more disturbance, the Clerk proceeding
with the roll CALL thus admitting the
contention of the minority.

HONOLULU Oh. u, Feb 10.-Among
the passengers who will sail for Amer

be Attorney General William O. Smith.
He will go direct to Washington, where
he will confer with Minister Hatch on
annexation matters. Mr.. Smith expects
to be gone about a month, two weeks
of which time will be spent in the Ma
tional Capital.
The sudden departure of Attorney
General Smith for Washington is the
outcome of a meeting of President Dole
and his Cabinet yesterday morning. The
Gaelic, which arrived in port at day
break yesterday morning. brought i'm
portant letters from Minister Hatch
pertaining to annexation matters. These
caused the Cabinet to take propmt ac-

There is every probability that upon
Mr.. Smiths arrival in Washington Gen

will be there. These gentlemen. to-

THE TARIFF MAKERS.
Confident That the End Of Their
Work Is Almost in Sight.
THE DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS

The Dimcuity OF Adjusting Diner
cnces in Their own Party Is Gauss
ing the Managers Great Perplexity.
Differences on the Wool Schedule.
Washington. June 21.-The Republi-
can senators in charge Of the tariff bill
begin to feel that the end is almost in
sight. They do not hope to conclude
the consideration of the bill by the
close of the present week, but they
expect By that time to be able to say
when they can complete the work
AS a matter Of fact, the difficulty Of
adjusting differences in their own party
is causing the managers more perplex-
ity at present than is the open oppo-
sition to the bill in the senate. It has
been found almost impossible to har-
monize the contending forces among
Republicans on the tobacco and wool
schedules. The differences on tobacco
have been compromised. though not to
the satisfaction of all concerned and
II there should be another caucus be-
fore the tobacco schedule is taken up
in the senate the question is liable to be
reopened there
The wool schedule confronts the sem
ate at the opening of the session to-
day, and 1t is Senator AIlison's pur-
pose to press the schedule forward to
a close. Hence 1t will be impossible to
postpone for very much longer time
the settlement Of the differences on this
question. It is expected that If the
committee should not be able to an
nounce a determination by some time
today the matter will be referred to an
early caucus, or a caucus may be called
If the committee fixes a rate that is not
satisfactory to the wool men. There
Is little doubt that an advance viii be
conceded by the committee, but the
advance of interest is whether the in
crease win be all that the wool men
demand, The wool schedule will, of
course give rise to an animated de-
bate, but the Democratic senators say
there Is no disposition on their part
to needlessly prolong It.
There are also numerous articles on
the free list and in the "sundry" sched-
ule which will arouse differences OF
opinion, and if the Republicans do not
withdraw the internal revenue features
OF the bill there will be a sharp clash
over this. They are practically de-
cided, however, to retreat from these
provisions. 1t is also practically de-
termined that the house provision in re-
gard to Hawaiian sugar win be con-
tinued pending disposition of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty
For the rest, the question OF recip-
roeity and the problem presented by
the trusts in connection with the tar
iff are still undetermined by the Re
publicans themselves, but there Is no
IL I.N
general debate upon any proposition
agreed to when presented in the senate
The program in the house will be the
same as during past weeks. There
will be two sessions, one today and
another on Thursday. 1t Is probable
rhat the committee on rules will bring
in a special order for the consideration
of the bill appropriating money to re-
pair the drydoch at the Brooklyn navy

ELECTRIC BItters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and altera-
tive is felt. A prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the sys-
TEN from the malarial poison, Headache,
