Oath in the Houee.

Washington, July 1.-The finance
committee suffered several unexpected
reverses during the progress of the
tariff bill, today being defeated on
three important votes. Cotton bagginS,
by vote of 80 to %. and cotton ties,
by a vote of 90 to %. were placed on
the free list. The duty on white pine
lumber was reduced from So to 81 per
thousand. by a vote of 30 to 81. The
amendment on pine occasioned the
greatest surprise and led to a general
breaking UP Of party lines on both
sides of the chamber. During the early
stages Of the debate the duty on lum-
Der, including pine, was placed at s.
after a protracted contest.
Today. Teller returned to the contest
and moved TO place white pine lumber
on the free list. The amendment was
defeated by the close vote of 80 to 80,
four Republicans. Baker, Carter, Hans
brough and Quay joining with the Dem
ocrats, Populists and Silver Republic
cans in the affirmative, while three
Democrats, Bacon. McEnery and Mart
tin. voted with the Republicans in the
negative.
Following up this close vote, Mantle,
Silver Republican. moved to reduce the
rate on white pine from 50 to ST. and it
was carried by majority of one. Two
Republicans. Baker and Carter, voted
with the Democrats in the affirmative.
and three Democl ats. Bacon. McEnery
and Martin, with the Republicans in
the negative.
The bill is now completed with the
exception Of the reciprocity section and
some comparatively minor paragraphs.
Much progress was made. today, in
clearing up detached paragraphs here
tofore passed over. Only three of these,
coal tar, potash and tea, remain, 50
that these items. the reciprocity Sec
ton, and the brief internal revenue
and administrative provisions are all
that remain of the bill to be disposed
of before the final vote is taken.
