The retaliatory clause was agreed to,
33 to 10.
Two democrats, Gallery and McEnery
of Louisiana and Moss, Kyle and Allen
voted with the republicans in the affirma-
tive, and Messrs. Mantle and Teller with
the democrats in the negative.
The reciprocity section was next con-
sidered, Mr.. Allison offering the new pro-
vision, the text of which has been here
tofore given. 1t was changed slightly by
providing that the reciprocity treaty be
made "by and with the consent of the
senate"
In brief the section authorizes the pres
ident to negotiate commercial treaties to
extend not more than five years, and
granting Il reduction of the duties i'm
posed by this act, to the extent of not
more than 90 per cent thereof" or for
the transfer during that period of desig-
mated articles from the dutiable to the
free list, being the natural products of
such foreign countries and not of the
United States.
Mr.. Mills of Texas stated in few
words that the proposed amendment
sought to deprive the house of represent
tatives of its constitutional right to orig
mate and participate in all revenue
measures.
Mr.. Vest took the same view, while
Mr.. Allison and Mr. Hoar contended that
the participation of the house in the pass
age of this bill was an authorization of
treaties.
Mr.. Vest spoke Of the assaults of this
bill on Germany, Japan, Argentine and
other countries and declared that not one
of these countries would want a reciproci-
ty treaty with us after being thus as
sailed.
Mr.. Lindsay of Kentucky referred to
the recent trip of South American Off
Gals to cities Of the United States with
a view to encouraging trade, and said it
would be futile when the American peo-
pie, by this BILL turned their backs on
the world and made commerce a crime.
Mr.. Morgan said the United States
supreme court had passed upon the reci-
procity clause of the Mckinley law, and
had held that it in no way disregarded
the rights of the house of representatives.
Mr.. Gray supported the reciprocity
amendment, saying the. treaties contem-
making power.
Mr.. Teller argued that a grave cues.
ton, too grave to be brought in the senate
during the closing hours of the tariff de-
bate, was involved in taking from the
house the power to cooperate in making
reciprocity treaties. The senator said he
wanted to vote for some reciprocity clause
but not for one in violation of the consti-
tuition.
The reciprocity clause was agreed to.
80 to Is. Two democrats, Gray and Nor
gan. and Messrs. Harris and Heitfeld,
populists, voted with the republicans.
and Messrs. Teller and Stewart with the q.
democrats in the negative.
just before adjourning, Mr.. Allison
tried to secure an agreement on time
for a final vote, but Mr.. Teller said it
would be useless to try to fix time for
Il vote until senators knew what amend =
ments were to be proposed.
AT O'Clock the senate adjourned.

MANY MEN IDLE.
Over $4,000 Iron and Steel Worker
in the Vicinity of Pittsburg.


Pittsburg, July las the result of the
failure of the joint wage conference of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers and manufacturers
to agree upon the scale Mt the Youngs-

down today, and between 10000 and 3d.
600 men are idle. This includes the skill
ed workmen and those depending upon
them. President Garland returned from
Youngstown last night. When seen to-
day he said that he was not discouraged
at the outlook, but looked for settle
ment after the annual repairs mt the
mills have been completed. This morning
employees of Jones d Laughlin met and
discussed the proposed % per cent reduc-
ton in wages, which. il is said, is con
tempated. 1t is said that the meeting
reported unfavorably upon the proposed
reduction.
The general suspension of work today
following the disagreement of the joint
conference committee at Youngstown yes
terday. can not be regarded as either n
strike or lockout. Repairs are always
made ut this season of the year, and
many manufacturers do not sign the scale
until after their plants have been over
hauled. This usually takes two or three
weeks. In the meantime the conference
committee will meet and endeavor to set
tie the difficulties.
If the committee find that an arrange
ment is impossible the strike can then be
considered as on in earnest.
The conference Of the tin plate wage
scale will be resumed tomorrow by the
committee of manufacturers and the
Amalgamated association. All the tin
plate works in the country, with the en-
ceptiOn of the four nOn-uniOn concerns,
