Accordingly Mcguire, (Democrat,) of
California, demanded the yeas and nays
and half the house seemed to respond to
his demand.
The vote on the motion to engross was
81 to 147.
The completeness of the defeat of the
bills advocates became more apparent as
the second roll call proceeded.
When the clerks had figured up the TO-
tails, the speaker submitted the result
yeas 1O2; nays 1853.
There was great outburst of applause
Mr.. Powers moved to recommit the
funding bill.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, made the
point of order that the motion was not
in order.
II was decided to allow the question
whether the Powers motion WAS in order
90 over until tom orrow in order to give
the speaker time to examine the prece-
dents.
The house passed the army appropria-
tion bill. It carries over $23,0O0,000.
TARIFF Thinkers AT WORK.
The ways and means committee con-
sidered the miscellaneous articles coming
under the tariff law and the free list as
we'll to-day. The hearing brought a
large crowd to the capitol.
Representative Corliss, of Michigan,
asked for protection on tobacco, lum-
Der, fish and other products of his dis
trict.
William Golden, of Chicago, recon-
mended duties on mass peat, now. on the
free list. Foreign dealers charged $50
per ton before Americans entered the
business, and it had dropped to $12 less
than it could be produced for. Four dol
lars per ton duty was asked for. sum
cient material could be found in Jackson
county, Wis, to supply the United Stales.
Kenneth Barnhardt, representative OF
Marshall, Field & Co., of Chicago, advo-
Gated moderation in the tariff and specific
duties. Az the average ad valorem duty
of 80 per cent yielded but 35 per cent,
the bulk of the importing trade was in
the hands of foreign manufacturers, who
were able to sell goods here cheaper than
Marshall, Field & 90. could land them in
New York. The paragraph allowing
duties equal to the manufacturers cost
plus per cent was most disRdvantageous
to Americans. Under the system Of con-
signment, in many instances, the firm
found it cheaper to buy goods OF the
consignees on this side than to buy them
abroad.
"That is proof positive of fraud" Mr..
Dingley remarked.
SESSION OF THE SENATE TO-DAY.
In the senate to-day Mr.. Mills called
up his resolution, declaring that the de-
termination of the expediency of recog-
nizing the Independence of a foreign
government belongs to congress, and
when congress shall 80 determine the ex-
ecutive should act ID harmony with the
legislative department of the government;
also recognizing the independence of the
Republic of Cuba, and appropriatlng
$4,000 for the salary of the minister
thereto.
Mr.. Mills said that the secretary of
state had challenged the authority OF
congress to recognize the independence
of foreign state and had said that bill
passed over the veto of the president
would be of no effect.
"This is most remarkable statement" !"
commented Mr.. Mills. "The respect
that have for the secretary and the high
Office he holds restrains me from say
ing more. He has his duty and ! have
mine. The president must not say to the
congress Of the United States, this is none
Of 70 ur business
Mr.. Mills read from President Mon
roe's message of March, 1922, relating to
the recognition of the South American
republics in revolution against Spain.
Nj. Monroe, he said, had recognized that
both branches of the government had a
duty imposed upon them in the recognl-
tion of foreign governments and that
there must be cooperation.
