Washington. April 5.-ThTee o'clock
of the afternoon of April ninth was the
time set by the house today to vote
on the Payne tariff bill. The Iong-eX-

on rules closing the general debate,
providing certain committee amend

alter the lumber and hides schedule,
was reported late in the day and
adopted, with sixteen votes to spare,

Four of the sixteen votes came from
the Louisiana delegation. who like
wise broke away from the party.

this proceeding, was the speech OF
