Let Jeffries cover this and l will get
busy. l do not propose to allow the
ex-champion to make capital out of his
challenge. for really | do not think he

put up the good hard money and he
will find me the big black man on the
job all right.

House.
The house was in session for forty
minutes today, but took no action on
the census bill, the only important
business which il had before it for
consideration. Mr.. Crumpacker (Ind.),
chairman of the census committee. en-
deavored to have the house insist
further upon its disagreement from the
state amendments, but the absence of
a quorum prevented such action. For
the same reason no conferees were ap-
pointed. The house adjourned until
Monday.
Senate.
Republican criticism of the pending
tariff bill, on the ground that the rates
were too high was prominent in the
senate today, when Senator Nelson of
Minnesota and Senator Deliver of Iowa
attacked various schedules.
Under the guise of discussing the
duty on gas retorts a general debate
on the tariff was INDUCED in by demo-
cratic senator's Senator Bailey of
Texas taking occasion to say that the
bill was discriminatory against the
south.
Fifty of the SO2 pages of the bill
were read today.
At 6:1O o'clock the senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
