Thousands Of pile sufferers bear witness

PORTO RICO TARIFF.
oxNARD BILL is PASSED BY THE
HOUSE.
Vote Stands I6I for Concurrence to
1853 Against-Debate Limited to Four
Hours, and Senate Amendments Are
Not Read.

The national House Of Representatives
on Wednesday afternoon completed its
record on the Porto kican tariff bill by
coneurring'i in all the Senate amendments.
The final vote was 161 in favor Of the
bill and 1913 against Il, with eleven mem
beers present and not voting. There were
nine Republicans who refused 10 vote for
the bill bnt voted agaiIst it. They were:
Lorimer OF Illinois, Warner Of Illinois,
Crnnpacker of Indiana, Lane OF Iowa,
Henry G. Smith If Michigan, Fletcher OF
Minnesota, Heatwole OF Minnesota, Lit
tlefeld OF Maine, Mccall OF Massachu-
sets. These nIne Republicans wiped out
the Republican majority of eighteen in
the House by voting against the party
The majority for the bin was made up of
Democratic votes. Had all the Demo
Gratis voted against the bill, the nine Re
publican votes that went against it would
have caused the vote to break even.
The Republican leaders secur' by one
vote, the adoption of rule allowing four
hours debate on the motion to concur in
all the Senate amendments. The result
was the adoption by the House OF civil
government bill for Porto Rico, which
was not read in its entirety in the House.
The contest over the bin began with the
session of Wednesday. The committee
on rules brought in rule limiting the
debate TO four hours and fixing the time
for the final vote on the motion to concur
at 5 O'Clock. There was forty minutes
debate allowed on the adoption of this
rule. There was bad temper evident on
both sides of the chamber in the begin
aing, and Incorporate language was used
by the leaders on both sides.
The rule was then submitted and was
adopted by vote of 15S to 142. Eight
Republicans voted against it. They were
Littleheld, Mccall, Crumpacker, Lori
mer, Warner, Heatwole, Lane and III. G.
Smith. Mr.. Fletcher of Minnesota voted
for the rule, but afterward voted against
the bill. Announcement of the result was
greeted with applause, and the House
then settled down to the debate upon the
bill. Speeches in favor Of the bill were
made by Messrs. Watson of Indiana,
Hopkins of Illinois, DoIliver of Iowa and
Chairman Payne. Its passage was OPP
posed by Congressman Lorimer, Warner
of Illinois, Crumpacker of Indiana, Me
Call of Massachusetts, and II. G. Smith

FAILURES For THE QUARTER.
Liabilities for Three Months S56,677,
O5o-Dun,s keview.

&AaDititics IoT AHTtc tiOHtns VOosOf q .
05o-Dun's Review.
r. G. Dun d Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Only twice in twenty-five
years would such failures as those of the
first quarter of 1900 have seemed large.
They are large compared with last year
and 1898 aud would have looked larger in
1855. The amount of liabilities, $56,011,-
055, includes $2l ,161 900 for the United
States Flour Milling Company, and ~
492, 4c'2 for sixteen banks and other imam
cial corporations, leaving 2,S94 CONNER
cial failures, with $33 or. 572 Liabilities.
Actual defaults in manufacturing are
smaller than in the first quarter OF any
other year except 1899. Quarterly re-
views show that outside the immediate
effects of stock speculation and indus
trial consultations the volume OF BUSH
ness has been larger this year than
year ago. No change has come in cot
ton goods this week, though dealings for
the future are hindered. Business IN
woolens is also somewhat unsatisfactory.
Sales of three chief markets have been
only 1888, 800 pounds. The rise in some
leather has helped manufacturers of
hcSts and shoes to hold prices, but not
to get more orders. Failures for the
week are 159 in the United States,
against 141 last year. and - in Canada,
against II last year"
