WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE bill report
ed from the Ways and Means commit
tee yesterday to provide for rebate
of the duties on foreign coal for Pc
Rod of one year was passed in short or
der by the House today, by practically
unanimous vote, 25S to s. those voting
against it being Messrs. Cushman and
Jones, of Washington; Gaines, Of West
Virginia; Mondell, of Wyoming, and Pat
terson, of Pennsylvania, all RepubH
cans.
The bill was considered under the OPP
Grafton of rule which cut off opportun-
ity to amend. The only opposition to the
measure came from some of the mem
bers representing ccal States, who eX-
pressed the fear that the admission of
the Chinese mined coal in Canada would
iniure the coal industry of their States.
Both Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. Payne, of New York, the Republican
exlcader, expressed the opinion on the
floor that the bill would not relieve the
existing distress. They. said it would
satisfy, however, public demand for ac-
tion and show a disposition by Congress
to do what it could.
The Democrats, although they all sup
ported he bill took the view that it did
not go far enough. saying that coal
should go on the free list, and when
the bill came back from the Senate W.T..

thracite coal on the free list they APP
rlauded vigorously.

marks today. said that there was prac-
tically no anthracite coal in the world
except that in the United States, and
"a little in China The Senate amend
ment was adopted without division. Dur
ing the debate Mr.. Richardson said that
when the stress cf emergency came there
was perforce a recourse to Democratic
doctrine.
Mr.. Williams, Of Mississippi who fol-
lowed Mr. Richardson contended that
the removal Of the duties must result
in reducing the price of coal. Mr.. Dali
zell declared that the hypocrisy of the
other side was apparent from remarks
of Mr. Richardson. He said it was sim
ply playing politics. The Democratic
'perfdy and dishonor" bill had con-
tanned a duty on coal. =, Mr.. Maddox of
Georgia, denounced the whole proceeding
as a piece of humbug
Mr. Cochran, Of Missouri. declared
that this was late day repentance" on
the other side. If the President and
Department Of Justice, he said, had done
their duty months ago when they were
gallivanting around denouncing trusts

Rapid progress was made with the
Army Appropriation Bill after the coal
bill had been passed. The most lmpor-
tant amendments adopted were to in
crease the number of officers of the Sig

lieutenant colonies, four majors, eight
captains and eight first lieutenants and
