WASHINGTON, March 2a.-The first day
Of the tariff debate in the house was rather
tame from both spectacular and orator
ical standpoint. The galleries were we'll
filed, and the members on the floor listen
ed consclentiously, but there was an alb
sence both Of that sharp cross firing which
Keeps the nerves on edge and the brilliant
eloquence which inspires and holds the
Imagination
The opening Of the debate was delayed
over two hours by the full reading Of the
bill Of 1872 pages, and this, to begin with
had a somewhat depressing influence. The
Republican leaders insisted on this to
avoid the possible charge in the future,
should the consideration Of the bill not
be completed until the five minute rule
is enforced, that the bill was never read in
full in the house, a thing which happened
in the cases Of both the Mckinley and VII
son bills.
Only four speeches were made at Tho
session. Mr.. Dingley, the chairman of the
ways and means committee, opened in an
hours speech for the majority, and Mr.
Wheeler of Alabama fired tho broadside
for the opposition. Mr.. Dingley, while a
forceful speaker and q clear. convincing
reasoner. has few of the graces of oratory.
He was given a careful hearing, however,
and frequently aroused the Republicans
TO applause.
The Democratic plans had miscarried.
Mr. Bailey, leader OF the opposition, had
decided to close the debate, and Mr. Nc
Millin of Tennessee bad beon selected tc
reply to Mr.. Dingley, but at the last mo.
ment it was learned that Mr.. McMillin
had been unable to prepare himself owing
TO the illness Of his wife The task, there
fore, deyolved ON Mr.. Wheeler The latter
was unprepared, but nevertheless took the
floor for an hour Mr. Bell of Colorado
blazed the path for the populists Tho on
ly other speaker at the session was Mr..
Hopkins of Illinois, a member Of the ways
and menns committee.

Treaty In the sennte.

WASHINGTON, March e3-The Anglo
American arbitration treaty was advanced
considerably toward final ratification by
the senate in executive session. All the
amendments recommended by the COM
mittee on foreign relations were agreed TO
without division. These amendments aro:
First To provide that all agreements
for arbitration entered into by the exec.
utive branch of this government with the
British government shall bo subject 70 the
ratification of the senate.
Second. Striking out tho provision con
stituting members Of the United States
supreme court permanent members OF the
proposed tribunal of arbitration
Third. Eliminating the provision for
an umpire and therefore striking out the
provision agreeing upon King Oscar of
Sweden and Norway for this oiico
The principal dotate Of the session arose
on an amendment TO tho committed
amendment in regard TO the supreme
court offered by Senator Morgan. and il
was upon this amendment that tho only
yea and nay votes occurred. Senator Nor
gan moved to strike out the words "ju-
rists of ropute, " which the committee pro.
posed to substitute at the points whore
Justices of the United States supreme
court were mentioned I'm articles and q
of the treaty The debate was participated
in on the one side by senator Morgan and
on the other by Senators Davis and
Lodge, who opposed the motion.
On the roll call on the amendment to
article 8 the vote was 10 to ~, and on that
to article it was "a to 26. The reason for
the increased vote on the second Iroposi-
tion was the belief on the part of some
senators that as the article in regard "a
territorial claims provides that some Of the
British members Of the arbitral tribunal
shall be members Of the supreme court Of
iudicatura OF Great Britain the American
supreme court should also be recognized
TO act in The same capacity.

WAsHINGToN, March 23.-Mr. Bailey OF
Texas, the Democratic leader Of the house,
has presented the minority report on tn
tariff bill. The report was signed by all
the Democratic members of the ways and
means committee and gives the grounds
of their opposition TO the bill. 1t says by
way Of introduction;
This bill was framed with the ayowed
purpose Of protecting the manufacturers
of the United States against foreign com.
petition, and it is perfectly obvious that If
1t accomplisbes that purpose it must re.
suit in compelling the consumers of this
country to pay more for their manufac.
tured goods, and for this reason we think
1t should not pass. We rest our opposition
upon the broad principle that congress
was invested with the power of taxation
as means Of collecting from each citizen
his fair proportion toward the support OF
the government, and that it is gross

Its Effects ON labor.
Treating of the effect of the bill on Ia
Dor, the report says:
The report OF the committee on ways
and means is singularly silont upon the
old pretext that these high taxes are i'm.
posed for the benefit of American labor,
and the silence may be taken as concedina
the Democratic cuntention that the intel.
ligence and skill Of the American factory
operative are all the protection which he
needs or desires. The labor argument OF
the protectionists can be reduced to an alb
surdity which makes it amazing that II
should ever have been seriously advanced.
To say in one breath that the welfare OF
labor depends upon its wages and that its
wages in turn depends on its skill and in
telligence and in the next breath TO say
that the very intelligent and highly skill
ed laborers Of this country cannot success
fully compete with the ignorant and un
skilled laborers Of the Ole world Is equiva
lent to saying that skill and Intelligence
are not of great advantage to the laborers
who possess them

ADOPT a NEW SCALE FOR Pudding.
Finfshcrs Come Next and Then the
Trouble Will he Ended.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., Aug. LIT was day
light this morning before the iron manu-
facturers and puddlers Of the Amalgamated
association conference committee agreed on
scale for pudding. There were twenty
five puddlers on the Amalgamated commit
tee of 100 and the puddlers had the say about
accepting or rejecting the proposition di-
rectly affecting them.
The puddlers made several attempts TO
effect a compromise and obtain S4.25 ton
for pudding, but the manufacturers posi-
lively refused 10 recede from their demand
for a reduction from 4.5o TO 81. When the
puddlers held their last secret meeting to
consider the matter, the vote stood 13 TO u
in favor OF taking the whole reduction and
this portion of the difficulty was at an end.
The new scale adopted is as follows:
Four dollars a ton on l-cent card rate;
S4.25 on a 1.l0-cent card rate; $475 on a
1.30-cent rate; So on 1.40-cent rate, and
S5.25 on a 1.50-cent rate. "a 1-cent card
rate means when bar iron is selling for /
cent a pound)
An adjournment was taken at O'Clock
thia morning, until Monday morning, when
it is expected the finishers scale viii be
adjusted and the whole trouble brought TO
all end.

STIR IN UNION VETERAN LEGION.
Two Commands Are Threatened with
Suspension.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Somethng of
sensation has been created In the ranks of
the Union Veterans Legion by an order
from NJ A. Dillon, recently appointed d.
vision commander of the Department of the
Potomac, suspending the officers and mem
bers of W. S. Hancock and John A. Logan
commands from all the rights and the
privileges OF the order, unless they comply
with an order recently issued by the di-
vision order. The members affected say
they will pay no heed to the order. TIE
difficulty ar'ses from dissatisfaction with
commands received from the commandsr-in-
chief of the organization, conveying ,he
information that the Washington com
mandery of the Union Veterans Legion had
bc.n allensted from the Department Of the
Potomac. A protest against the order is
now pending ana ~Yill be decided at the
meeting Of the national encampment next

pends the colonel Of John A. Logsn command

quires service at the front during the war.

FEARFUL AND WONDERFUL HEAT.
rhe temperature was not so high yesterday

The temperature was not so high yesterday
as on Saturday, but 1t is probable that the
people felt it more, especially in the morn
ing The heat in the first half Of the day
was frghtfully oppressive There was abso-
lutely no motion to the atmosphere. 1t
would have been perfectly safe TO have
cleaned feathers in an open field. In the
afternoon a breeze spruug up, and while the
thermometer recorded a higher temperature,
the weather was more bearable. One inter-
esting feature shown by the figures above is
the jump mad, by the mercury They con-
vey an idea of the character of the weather
which prevailed on Sunday in this vicinity.
The maximum recorded was "a degrees.
Kansas City, however, shows maximum Of
l02 degrees, The little wind which existed
came from the west. The register at the
weather office shows that there was a trace
of precipitation, but this will doubtless
be news TO many people.
