girl, and also by his own testimony.
Miss Glngles stated while a witness that
on the night OF the first alleged attack

mentioned. Later she said she had never
seen Mr.. Taggsrt that he had never writ
ten to her nor had he harmed her in any

Following is the text of the resolution
decided upon by the committee:
That the house taxi from the speakers

amendments to the house bill No. 1883 Othe
tariff bilD and agree to the conference
asked for by the senate on the disagreeing
votes of the two houses; and that a COM

tions of said bill when finally agreed upon,
The hour and a half Of debate 1t was
decided should be equally divided between
the two parties.
When the recess had expired Mr.. Dalzell
Of Pennsylvania, of the committee on
rules, was at once recognized to offer the
rule providing for, ponconcurrence in all
the amendments and agreeing to the con-
ference requested by the senate. He sup

This suggestion was not entirely accept

wanted the time extended to three hours,

After explaining the parliamentary sltua-

his belief that he voiced the sentiment OF
every member Of the house on both sides
and Of the entire citizenship Of the country

was a speedy disposition of the measure.
The method suggested by the committee

that idea.
The bill was condemned by Mr.. Town

said, It complied with the republican
pledges, but now, he declared, "you would
hardly recognize It II you met it in the
