TOday's Session Lasted But
Thirty-Eive Minutes.
THEY ARE RESENTFUL.
Democrats Refuse to Accept
Places on Committees
When Handed Out by Speaker
of the House.

Washington, March 17.-EverY one
was on the tiptoe of expectation when
Chairman Payne of the committee on
ways and means, Immediately after
the house met today, presented the
tariff bill. While it was being carried
up to the desk. the Republicans vigor-
ously applauded. The measure was at
once referred to the committee on ways
and means.
a resolution was offered providing for
the printing of 10000 copies of the pro-
posed measure. 14,0OO of which shall be
at the disposal of members of the
house and the remainder for the use of
the senate.
After the bill had been made public
a number of printed copies were
brought upon the floor and there was a
general scramble among members for
them. resulting in such confusion thai
the proceedings were completely sus-
pended for a time.
There was such a universal demand
for the printing of more than 10000
copies that Mr. Payne said he would
later offer a resolution providing for
10000 additional copies He said he
hoped to report the bill back at an
early day exactly as introduced.
Calling attention to Mr.. Payne's
statement, Mr.. James objected to the
resolution for the printing of extra
copies as an unnecessary expense. The
objection has the effect of defeating
the resolution and as consequence
there will be few available copies of
the bill until the measure is reported
from the committee.
The full committee on ways and
means will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow
to formally consider the tariff bill. The
Republican members expect to be able
to report it to the house after the one
meeting.
The house at 1885 p. m. adjourned
until tomorrow.
