Before Mr.. Dingley presented the tarlH
conference report Mr.. Cannon presented
the final conference report on the general
deficiency bill, which was agreed to with
out difficulty.
After a few minor matters had been
disposed of Mr. Dingley arose. Holding
aloft the report and a great mass OF
Dapers he said in calm tones: MT.
Sneaker. / desire to present the coference
report on the tariff BILL" Salvos of APP
plause from the Republican side greeted
this announcement. The papers were
carried TO the clerks desk. The reading
of the formal report was dispensed with
at the request Of Mr.. Dingley and the
statement of the effect of the changes
read.
Mr.. Bailey, the leader of the minority,
disclaimed before the reading began, any
responsibility for the statement, which,
he said. the minority has, as yet, had no
opportunity to read.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
statement Mr.. Dingley took the floor.
Before he began his speech he said he de-
sired, if possible to enter into an agree
ment with the minority as to the length
of time the debate should run.
Mr.. Bailey said the minority would IKE
three days, but knowing that much time
could not be obtained he would be will
ing to agree to allow the debate to run
today and tomorrow with provision Tor
a vote before adjournment tomorrow.
Mr.. Dingley in replying said he was
not prepared to agree to Mr.. Balley's
proposition. When he expressed the hope
that a vote could be reached today the
Republicans broke into long and loud
applause.
"Talk at this time is very expensive"
said Mr.. Dingley." 1t costs the treasury
100000 day."
All efforts to reach an agreement
failed Mr.. Dingley, with the statement,
that would confer with Mr.. Bailey later,
opened his speech on the conference re-
port. The figures and details OF the ex-
PLANTATION of the changes were very dry,
but the House gave him close and ear
nest attention. He took up each schedule,
explaining in detail the changes made,
and following closely to the formal
statement given out by the committee. As
to the surrender Of the item OF cyanide
OF potassium, he said, it had been most
rnwilNngly accorded by the House and
only after the most positive incistence by
the Senate conferees.
Concerning the sugar schedule Mr..
D;ngley read from the official statement,
adding brief comments. BY the new ar
ranoement about 100000 increase of
revenue would be realized. as the In
crease had been placed on raw sugars al
the point where revenue would be re.
ceiyed and at the same time the bee1
sugar industry will receive substantial
benefit.
Mr.. Dingley expressed regret that The
Senate had not allowed the retroactive
clause of the bill to stand, at least, unit
the bill was about to become law. Hat
If remained in the bill, he said, 25,0O0,
600 of revenue would have been saved t.
the treasury. When Mr.. Dingley referee
