and senate. the tariff bill was passed
by the house by a narrow margin Sat


urday night.
The bottom fell out of the various in
surgent movements, and but part of
those who have been attacking the tar
if bill for weeks and months stood un
to the rack and voted against it. I'm

the final test vote, which was on the
motion to adopt the conference report
four Iowa republicans voted against the
bill and six for it. The four who voted
no were Messrs. Hubbard, Haugen.
Kendall and Woods. This was one
moro than had been expected in the
morning. Representative Kendall was
somewhat undecidedin the forenoon, .,ut
concluded that Senator 4Aldrich's tariff
dose was too strong for him to swallow
and voted against the measure
Four Iowans Vote No.
Those Iowa republicans who voted
for the bills were Messrs. Hull, Smith,
Dawson, Good, Pickett and Kennedy.
This final vote on the adoption of the
conference report was the real test on
the BILL
There were two previous votes. On
the first vote, which was on ordering
the previous question on Paynes mo-
tion to recommit. three Iowa republi-
can members voted yes. They were
Messrs. Hubbard, Pickett and Kendall.

On the motion to recommit, which
was the final motion made by Payne to
head off the opponents of the bill. and
on which Payne himself voted no,
Messrs. Good, Haugen, Hubbard,
Woods. Kendall, and Pickett voted aye
with the downward revisionists.
When the delegation had it's meeting
Friday evening 1t was not fully decided
how it's vote would be cast, but it was
the general impression that Messrs.
Hubbard, Haugen and Woods would
vote against the bill. but this was not
borne out when the vote was taken,

Thru the day there was much wav-
ering and turning about and much un-
certainty. Those Iowans who voted FOR
the bill were pretty thoroughly con-

away by pressure from various quar-

Senator's Will Oppose.
There is no doubt but the manner in
which the republican insurgents have
gone to pieces on this question of the
tariff measure has strengthened Speak
er Cannon's hand and weakened the in
surgent movement in the house gener-
ally.
The fact that but four Iowa members
voted against the conference report is
the more remarkable in view Of the
decision reached by Senators Cummdns
and Dolliver. They, with Senators
Beveridge, Bristow, Clapp, Nelson and
La Toilette have decided to vote
against the bill. Senator Dolnver had
long conference at the White house
last night. President Taftrinvfted him
TO dinner and went over the situation
with him for the purpose of gettine
him lined up for conference report
tho he did not urge him to do so. Satur-
day the president had Senator Cum
minis at luncheon for the same pur-
pose. Later the seven senator's named
conferred and decided to vote against
the bill.
Had all the house republicans from
Iowa, Wisconsin and Nebraska who
have been classed as Insurgents, voted
against the bill 1t would have been
defeated aus but seven votes would have
changed the result, the final vote ADOPT
ing the report being 1876 to 1873.
