brought to the bar of the Senate to purge
to pardon. Mr.. Allen sought to secure
immediate action on the resolution, but
it went over ON objection from Mr.. Gal
linger of New Hampshire, and Mr.. Hoar
of Massachusetts. The latter criticised
the resolution as giving away the author
ity of the Senate, and said he would pro-
pose an amendment with view to hav
ing Chapman punished unless he purged
himself of contempt, without reference to
the question of pardon. The considera-
tion Of the resolution will be in order to-

A TARIFF AMENDMENT.
Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
to-day presented an amendment which

manufactured goods imported into this
country are the product of prison or con-
vict labor, it shall be the duty of the
Secretary of the Treasury to formulate
the necessary rules and regulations to
prohibit the further Importation of such
goods, except upon sworn statement of
the foreign manufacturer or his agent
made before a consul of the United
States, that said goods are not being
produced by the labor of convicts or con-
victs."
