Washington, Jan. 1.-THE atten-

ed the special rule for the considera-
tion of the bill, with provision for
one hours debate at the end of which
time the previous question should be
considered as ordered without inter.
vening motion. Twenty minutes on
a side were allowed upon the rule.
Mr. Dalzell, after reviewing the his
tory of the present duty on coal, said
the pending bill needed no defense. 1t
was designed to relieve the existing
distress. Nevertheless, he said, he
did not believe it would accomplish its
purpose. He id not believe it would
increase the importation of a single
pound of coal. Il do not believe, .
said he, that anything now can stop
the greed and avarice of the cormo-
rants who are taking advantage of
the already oppressed people, but it
will satisfy public sentiment and
show the disposition of congress to
do everything in it's power to relieve
the situation"
