as amended by the senate was officially
presented to the house today immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal.
AS soon as the message had been re-
ceived the house took recess for an
hour.
The recess was taken in order
to permit a committee on rules to meet
with view Of deciding upon a course
of procedure in reference to the tariff
bill to be recommended to the house.
The reception of the bill was hailed
with mingled feelings of joy and dis
appointment by members of both sides
who, in response to summons from
their respective leaders, turned out in
great force.
The house committee on rules met
after the house took recess and de-
cided to bring in an order providing
for reference of the bill to committee
on conference, as requested by the sem

Carolina, and Henry, of Texas, charac-
terized the measure as breaking repub-
lican pledges to the American people.
Their remarks aroused Smith, of Iowa,
who declared the American people did
not direct democratic revision of the
tariff Without specifically mentioning
the senate, Smith facing the demo-
cratic side, said that many democrats
Elsewhere" than in the house had been
largely instrumental in placing in
creases in the bill This assertion
elected loud republican applause.
Maintaining that the republicans and
the country were greatly dissatisfied
with the bill, Harrison, of New York
said it seemed a pity for the demo-
Gratis to inject themselves into the de-
bate. He said, however, that if the re-
publicans did not join with the demo-
Gratis in. defeating the bill the majority
party would be repudiated at the polls
at the next election.
Norris, of Nebraska, Joined his in
