NO BUTTER AT BANQUET.
Howling Swelis Gorged Themselves

Greenport l.. L., March 3l.--The abb

The committee on Inner Man had not

was necessary To curtail expenses, and
after careful delibcration the troubled

Party Feeling Ran High
in Tariff Debate.
Scientific Books, Maps, ETC.,
' Put on the Free List.
Democrats In the House Will Vote
to Recommend the Measure.

Washington, March 31.-Party feeling
ran high during the last day OF the
tariff debate I'm the house. Political
speeches were wedged in at every OPP
portunity. and there was constant man
euvering for political advantage. The
opposition directed their efforts, as far
az possible, toward stirring up dissen-
sions on the Republican side. but they
succeeded only In exposing a single
instance of revolt yesterday. That was on
the subject OF free hides. The Demo
Gratis pressed the question or a duty on
hoes for the benefit of the farmer with
such vigor, that Mr.. Hepburn, an Iowa
Republican, was drawn into the debate
and made a strong plea for dutiable
hides. He demanded that the house
be given an opportunity TO vote on this
question and declared that every West
ern Republican was in favor of IL. Mr..
Cannon OF Illinois also gave a qualified
endorsement 10 this demand.
The Republican leaders defended their
bill with vigor. The ways and means
committee held the floor with their
amendments from 10 in the morning 20
4 o'clock in the afternoon. About 35
were offered and adopted. Among them
was one admitting free of duty books,
scientific apparatus, charts, maps, etc,
for scientific and educational purposes"
After that Ave more pages of the bill
were read, making 20 pages in all of the
162 pages OF the BILL
Today the bill will be open for amend
ment until ] O'clock. an attempt TO ex-
tend the debate having failed. after
which an hour on a side will be allowed
to close
The voting will begin at o'clock.
The Democrats displayed a good deal OF
anxiety yesterday 10 get i'm an amend
ment to strike out the differential on
sugar, but they probably will be frus-
trated in this. The only motion they
may be able to secure a vote on is one
TO recommit with instructions. This
motion has been prepared in the shape
of resolution and is the Dockery
amendment TO suspend the duty on
articles whose prices are controlled by
trusts or combinations. Even this mo-
ton may be held TO be out of orded under
the special order. There Is some talk
OF a number Of Republican votes be-
ing cast against the bill. but after in
IL seems probable that those
who may be dissatisfied with particular
provisions of the bill will line up on the
final vote end there will be no break in
the Republican ranks,

TARIFF IN THE SENATE.
Allen Talks OF Unconstitutional Tariff
Taxes-Palmer For Public Printer.

Taxes Palmer For Public Printer.
Washington. March Ex-senator Allen
pop, Neb.) made long speech in the
senate yesterday on the unconstitution-
ality OF tariff taxes beyond those re-
Quisite for revenue. Although it was
the first tariff speech the senate had
heard this session 1t did not attract
marked attention. Mr.. Allen severely
criticised the trusts and combinations,
which he declared reaped the main ad-
vantage OF tariff taxes.
During the day Mr.. Morgan of Ala
bama introduced a resolution requesting
the president for copies OF the letters
said TO have been written by General
Gomez. the Cuban commander. to Mr..
Cleveland and Mr.. Mckinley. The reso-
luton will come up today, and may af
ford the opportunity for the first Cuban
debate of the session. The senate spent
most Of the day in executive session.
AT the beginning OF the executive ses-
sion Senator Hoar introduced an amend
ment to the arbitration treaty. which is
Intended to meet the objections which
have been urged in the recent debate
against the agreement. The Hoar
amendment eXempts all questions of
foreign and domestic policy from the
operations of the treaty, including also
territorial questions, and leaving 1t
practically sych document as was sug-
gested by Lord Salisbury.
Mr.. Hoar made a lengthy speech In
favor of the measure. In reply to ques-
tion from Senator Platt of Connecticut.
he said that his amendment was pre-
ferable to that offered by the commit
tee, because II was more explicit and
would leave no excuse for doubt upon
the part OF either Great Britain or the
United States as to its purport.
Senator Morgan said that the ac-
ceptance OF either of the amendments
by the senate would result in the i'm
provement of the treaty as a whole. but
that no change proposed could render
such treaty desirable. He said he was
opposed TO the treaty I'm any form.
According To agreement the voting on
the amendments offered by individual
senator's viii begin at o'clock today
The amendments so far offered are those
suggested by Messrs. Hoar. Chiffon.
Foraker. Chandler and Bacon. Sena-
tor Hoar's amendment is i'm the nature
OF substitute for Senator Chilton's, and
Senator Bacon has announced that ~
Senator Foraker's IL accepted he will
not press his.
