TARIFF TALK IN HOUSE
Mr.. Grosvs,or Defends RepubliCa. Position
aud Replies to hr. Clark.
WILLIAMS OUTLINES DEMOCRATIC POSITION
Minority Leader Attempts to Prove
that Prosperity of the Country
Is Not Due to Protec-
tive Policy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Philippine
tariff debate in the house today consisted
more OF party maneuvering for advan-
tageous campaign material than of discus
sion of the question at issue The tariff
was the text of speech by Mr.. Grosvenor
OF Ohio. who began the debate. and of an
extended reply by Mr.. Williams, the minor
ity leader. The speech of Mr.. Grosvenor
was spiced with witticisms and enivehed
with Interruptions from Champ Clark, to
whom Mr.. Grosvenor aimed most OF his ar
gument.
Mr.. Williams outlined again the spe-
cific tariff doctrine of the democratic party
and held that the republican tariff was
not as so often claimed. responsible for the
prosperity OF the country. To prove this
he cited the prosperity of Canada, Mexico
and other countries at the present time
and the business depression of these coun-
tries during the hard times of 1893.
Mr.. Adams of Wisconsin opposed the
BILL but advocated a readjustment of the
tariff on business principles. Mr.. McKin-
| ley OF California delivered his first speech
| in favor of the pending measure and
pointed a finger of warning toward the
growing industries of Japan. The debate
on the bill undoubtedly will close with tho
session on Saturday and the measure be
put on its passage Monday.

Mrs. Wood, one of the owners OF the West
hotel, speaking today of the fire which yes
terday cost eight lives, said:
The side of the house from which the
men and women jumped was farthest from
the seat of tho fire and there was not even
a flame In the halls that would have ac-
counted for the undue excitement of the
guests. The people who were killed on
the sixth street side of the building lost
their heads Just long enough. 10 result
fatally to themselves. IL there had been
some restraining hand there at the critical
moment 1 am sure that the mortality
would have been much less as II was un-
necessary in that part of the building at
least.
We will begin Immediately and make over
that part of the hotel and of course there
will be improvements. The guests are
still remaining In their rooms except those
on the sixth and seventh floors. New
guests have already registered and the
meals are being served as though nothing
had happened. our loss is fully covered
by insurance.
