is for the expectation of President Nc

American people consume about 1900, 900

GENERAL DEBATE ENDED.
House VIII Soon BE Ready to Vote on the
Tariff Bill.

Washington, March 26.-Thursday
was the last day of the general debate
on the tariff bill in the house. Talbert
talked great deal about the robber
barons. Champ Clark, Democrat of
Missouri, who followed him, said as a
Democratic politician, he rejoiced in
the passage of the pending bill because
after it had become a law every store
keeper would be obliged to make a
Democratic speech every time he made
a sale. The passage of this bill, he said,
would give the Democrats 100 majority
in the next congress.
After some brief remarks by Mcguire.
Democrat of California. and Gum,
Populist of Idaho, Tawney, Republican
of Minnesota, a member of the ways
and means committee, took the floor for
twenty minutes. Tawney defended the
lead schedule which had been attacked
by Gum.
The senate Thursday after brief dis
cussion referred amended credentials of

pointed to succeed ex-senator Call, to

sion on the arbitration treaty.
