over and the advocates of free crude oil
and it's products won signal victory whe !
an amendment by Mr.. Norris (Neb) plac-
ing the insignificant duty of one per-
centum ad volorem on those articles, was
reported by a substantial majority.
A decision of the chairman that amend
ments could not be offered to. the oil
schedule other than the one covered by the
special rule of last Monday and which
provided for the removal of the counter
vailng duty on crude petrolem and apply
ing an ad volorem duty of % per cent was
overturned and not even a fervid appeal
by the Speaker, in an endeavor to rally
the republican forces was sufficient to
stem the tide avowedy against tho
Standard OIL company. BY practically
unanimous vote the countervailing duty
went out as the committee had recon-
mended.
On all other propositions the committee
was sustained The barley schedule ran the
gauntlet without change, Tea and coffee
were placed on the free list and duty on
barytes increased from 75 cents a ton to
