TARIFF TALK STILL on.
Richardson and DingIey Get
Into a WrangIe.
10 AMENDMENTS PASSED.
The DemOcrats Caught the Committee
Without Quorum and Sprung a
New Surprise on the Republicans,
But the Latter Held Their Own and
Won Out in the End.

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The nee
e-sity Of the continued presence of a
quorum of the com nittee of the whole
in the hou-e was demonstrated at the
beginning of today's session.
To the first paragraph Richards n,
LIMO rat of Tennessee, moved an
amendment reduc ng the duty on whit
irg half cent. On division the vote
vas: Yeas II. noes 81.
Richardson made a point that no
quorum was present. Chairman Sher-
man counted slowly and in ten minutes
was enabled to announce 1O1 members
present and Richardson's amendment
was rejected and the duty on acetate Of
lead. white and in colors, was increased
ha.f Ceat per pound.
Richardson called attention to the
increase in the rates proposed in the
pending bill on articles in the chemi-
cal schedules, and in reply to Mr. Dock
cry said the duties in the D.ng.ey bi
We're abso utey greater than in the Nc
Kinley bill. Mr.. Dineley responded
t. Richardson and said his speech show
ed bovt e juggling with figures could
be ma le to show the apparent Increase
OF dut es, when there was an actual de-
crease. Except upon earthenware,
class. tobacco, sugar and silks, the
duties in the pending bill were less
than those in the Mckinley bill. Hop
kins. republican of Illinois, said the
bill proposed to incrt ase the revenue of
the government SIl3, 100000 ard was
not a taxation of the people, because

if the gent emen had taken as long to
uiy the question as trey have to per-
fe.s that gutfaw, they would know it to
be true.
Mr.. Simpson. populist of Kansas,
said that If a duty was imposed on
hiues It would d. the farmer more good
tn IN the duty on every article in the
agricultural schedule. He discussed
briefly also tie proposition that for
eigners pays the tax and suggested that
the experience of the people would be
that the foreigner would object and re-
fused to do it. In conclusion he said:

ahead of ever Subd eng the Insurgents
and is dicke lug for p-a,e as the only
way to get out Of a bad barga' N.
Spain's treasury is nov empty and her

that it viii be impossible to keep an

! Washington, Dec 6.-The presidents
message to congress was delivered to
the senate and to the house at lbs this
afternoon. 1t follows:
To the Senate and the House of Repre-
! sentatiyes:
1t gives me pleasure to extend greet
ing to the Fifty-fifth congress assem-
bled in regular session at the seat of
government with many of whose SEN.
afors and representatives / have been
associated in the legislative service.
Their meeting occurs under felicitous
conditions, justifying sincere congrat-
ulation and calling for our grateful
Acknowledgement to a beneficent Proyi-
dence, which has so signally blessed
ana prospered US as a nation. Peace
and good will With all the nations of
the earth continue unbroken.
"A matter of genuine satisfaction is
the growing feeling of fraternal regard
and un1ficatlOn of all sections of our
country, the incompleteness of which
has long delayed realization of the
highest blessings of the Union. The
spirit of patriotism is universal and is
ever increasing in fervor. The public
question which now most engross up
are lifted far above either partisan
ship, prejudice or former sectional
differences. They effect every part of
our common country al1ke. ana permit
of no division on ancient lines. Cues
tons of foreign policy. of revenue, the
soundness of the currency, the invio1a
bility Of national obliga tions, the i'm
proyement Of the public service appeal
to the individual conscience of every
earnest citizen, to whatever party be
belongs, or in whatever section of the
country he may reside.
The extra session of this congress
which closed during July last enacted
important legislation, and while its full
effect has not yet been realized, what
it has already accomplished assures us
of it's timeliness and wisdom. To test
its permanent value further time will
be required and the people, satisfied
with its operation and results thus far.
are in no mind to withhold from it a
trial.
