The Routine Report.

Washington, March 27-This was
the last day of the general debate on
the tariff bill in the house Talbert.
Democrat, of South Carolina, in the
presence of scant audience, opened
the debate. The house rapidly filled.
Talbert talked great deal about robber
barons
Champ Clark, Democrat, of Missouri,
followed. He said as Democratic
politician he rejoiced in the passage of
the pending bill, because after it had
become law every storekeeper would
be obliged to make Democratic speech
every time he made sale. The pass
age of this bill, he said, would give the
Democrats a hundred majority in the
next congressional election.
After brief remarks by Mcguire Dem
ocrat, of California, and Gum, Popu-
list, of Idaho, Tawney, Republican, of
Minnesota, member of the WAYS and
means committee, took the floor for
twenty minutes. Tawney defended the
lead schedule, which had been attacked
by Gum. The latter said he had no
criticism to make of the rates. He
only asked that they be collected.
Tawney asserted the classification of
this schedule was such that the duties
could not be evaded The purpose of
the trainers of the schedule was to give
American labor employment in smelt-
ing Mexican and Canadian ores, and at
the same time fully protect the Ameri-
can lead miner.
Simpson, Populist, of Kansas, enter
tanned the house for five minutes. He
read from Mckinley's speech at the
Minneapolis convention a declaration
that the foreigner paid the tax, which
he ridiculed. The last congress, he
said increased the appropriation $50,
900, 900, and now, according to Nc
kinley's theory, taxes on foreigners
We're to be increased to pay for extrava-
gance. The foreigner should be glad,
he said that the last congress had not
been a ilion-dollar congress. If
the taxes of the foreigner could be suffi-
ciently increased, he observed sarcastic
ally, the surplus could be distributed
among our people and every day would
be Sunday here. daughter
Simpson said he was himself farmer
who farmed farms, not farmers. II the
Republicans had desired to do some
thing practical for the farmers, why,
he asked, had they left hides on the
free list? Simpson announced himself
a free-trader.
Cox and McRae of Arkansas followed
The latter ridiculed the idea that pros
perity had existed under the Mckinley
law, or would exist under the Dingley
bill, if it became law.
Grow, the venerable ex-speaker, made
general speech in favor of the theory
of protection. The latest Democratic
cry of more money and less taxes, he
said, was preposterous.
Dalzell reviewed the results of the
Wilson and Mckinley laws and de-
nounced the ad valorem system as Civ
ing opportunity for immense underyal-
uation.

other, when Calvin fired. Several
shots were exchanged, when George

ice commission to substantate his re-
cent statement that certain applicants

foot for twelve feet. He said his state
ment had been challenged by several

ALL GOING TO PIECES.
Western Traffic Associations Are Break
ing Up.

Chicago, March 29.-The Chicago 8
Northwestern, the Missouri Pacific and
the st. Louis q San Francisco filed no.
tices of withdrawal today from all the
traffic associations OF which they were
members. The Louisville & St, Louis
Air Line also withdrew from the South
ern States Association, of which it was
member.
A meeting of executive officers of
Western roads was held today at the
office of the third vice-president of the
Santa Fe to talk over the situation. AT
the close, however, it was announced
that no concerted action had been de-
cided upon, and none was likely to be.
The more the decision of the supreme
court is considered, the more clearly
does it appear that not vestige of
ground is left traffic associations, as
they have heretofore been conducted,
on which to stand. All that now re-
mains for the roads to do is to direct
their energies toward securing legisla-
tion that will open some way for them
to conserve their interests and prevent
their revenue from being dissipated.
None of the associations attempted to
do anything today No circulars were
issued by any one of them, and no at
tempts were made to enforce observ-
ance of agreements. AS yet, no rate
cutting has been resorted to as a result
of the action of the association. The
roads are attending to routine bust
ness, and seem to be afraid to take ag-
gressive action of any kind.
A mass meeting of passenger men,
representing the Western, Transconti-
mental, Ohio river and Southern lines,

House Democrats Tried to Amend the
Tariff Bill.

Washington, March 29.-The tariff
bill was thrown open for amendment
under the 5-minute rule in the house
today. Seven weary hours of work
only served to dispose of nine pages Of
the 1862 pages of the bill All the
amendments offered by the Democrats
were rejected. Three slight amcnd-
ments by the committee, We're adopted.
and also an amendment by Mahaney to
increase the duty on white lead from
2 = cents to cents per pound, the rate
in the act of 1890. The present duty
is l = cents Mahaney said the in
crease was asked for by concern which
was Independent of the lead trust. 1t
was adopted by strict party vote.
The discussion covered a wide range
of political topics, and at times was
interesting
BY far the most important feature OF
the day was the attempt of Dockery,
Cooper and others, backed by the entire
opposition, to secure vote ON an
| amendment offered in a multitude of
forms, which provided that in case ii
should be shown to the satisfaction oI
the president that any article made
| dutiable by the bill was controlled by
trust or combination, the duty upon
such article should be suspended. Ding.
ley made the point of order that the
amendment was not germane to the du-
table list, and would not be in order
until the free list was reached. For
almost three hours this point of order
was gone over and made the subject of
ordinations and recriminations. The
Democrats contended that if the
amendment was ruled out it would
never be voted upon, as the free list,
in all human probability, would not be
reached before the final vote was taken
The chair sustained the point of order
An appeal was taken, but the chair was
sustained by Il strict party vote-l58
to l04.
