Mr.. sHAcKLEFoRD.

Washington. March 27-Hardly had
the reading Of the journal been complet-
ed in the house today when Mr. Littauer
IN y called up the urgent deficiency
bill. Explaining the provisions of the
bill. he said the first item related to the
third international conference of Amer
lean states, which is to be held in Rio
de Janeiro. beginning July q, 1906
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi called the
attention of the house to two letters
passing between Mr.. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts and Mr.. Payne OF New York, in
relation TO the tariff. which he asked
might be printed in the record.

The man who made the first pan
American congress possible, James y.
Blaine, is dead and forgotten by the Re-
publicans, and Mckinley is almost for
gctten." said Nr. Williams. siand reel
pTOcity is also dead. The senate refuses
TO pass reciprocal treaties and it is only
a. the threat of the German emperor TO
inaugurate a tariff war that reciprocity
triumphs." He wanted to know if the
gentleman from New York (Mr- Payne)
was gOinS TO stand pat on the steel trust
and the arnOr plate trust and whether
the Republican party was going to stand
pat against the desires of Massachusetts
fer trade relief
Mr.. Payne. in replying to Mr.. Williams,
ssid that the committee on ways and
means was not acting on INSTRUMENTATION
and it would continue TO act intelligently,
EOtWiths- anding the structures of the MI
nority leader.
