PERSONALITIES.
HOUSE MEMBERS AT HIGH TENSION
Prepared to Fight to Last Ditch for
Demands of Constitutents-Sum To-
tai of the Days Work.

Washington, April 6.-Wrangling,
confusion, captious objections, person.
alities and language bordering on vi
tuperation marked the first days dis
cussion of the Payne tariff bill for
amendment in the house regular today.

members were wrought up to a high
tension and were prepared to fight to
the last ditch for those things which
their constituencies were demanding.
Lumber and Hides.
The entire day practically was con-
sumed in discussing the lumber and
hides schedules. Led by Mr.. Tawney
of Minnesota, the advocates of free
lumber in the rough went down to de-
feat by the narrow margin of six votes,
following the striking out of the coun-
tervailing duty on lumber.
An overwhelming majority was mus
tered against an amendment by MT.
Scott of Kansas, taking hides from the
free list and fixing a duty upon them
of 10 percentum ad valorem.
The Barley Schedule.
The barley schedule came in for a
lively discussion, and when the bill was
laid aside for the day there were pend
ing two amendments, one raising the
rate in the Payne bill from Is to 20
cents a bushel and the other fixing the
date at 10 per cent. ad valorem.
What the Days Work Amounted TO.
The sum total of the days work, with
the exception of the elimination of the
countervailing dnties on lumber, which
was committee amendment, was to
leave the bill in identically the condi-
ton which the committees reported it.
This grants free raw hides and a
duty of one dollar per thousand sawed
lumber.
At ASS D. m. the house adjourned uIi-
til II o'clock noon tomorrow.
