GRAND RUSH FOR CLOAKROOMS

No Chances and Representatives
Are Forced to Listen for Hours.

The Payne tariff bill was read 10 the
House Of Representatives yesterday after
noon, preparatory to taking it I'D under
general debate Monday.
AT times the audience Of the reading
clerk dwindled down TO twenty-five or
thirty members. but objection was raised
by Chairman Payne, Of the WAYS and
Means Committee. every time an at
tempt was made 10 dispense with the
first reading OF the BILL as Is a long
enjoyed custom in the House.
Most Of the members seemingly pre-
ferred to read the bill themselves. end
when the House resolved itself into a COM
mittee TO hear the provisions as set forth
there was grand rush for the cloak
rooms, and soon more than half the seats
were vacant Later there was only a
scattering Of Democrats acting as watch
dogs Of legislation, and fifteen or twenty
Republicans waiting 10 see that the clerk

asked unanimous consent to dispense with
the first reading OF the bill, but Mr.. Payne
objected, and the clerk proceeded. Later
a point Of no quorum was made, and the
Goorkeepers and pages were sent out for
recruits, and the chairs filed again. The
clerk had got but a few pages on his
way when all the members made another
rush for the outside. and Mr.. Sims again
asked that the clerk be allowed to stop.
This time Mr.. Payne was out OF the
room. but Representative Mann said that
he, Ike other good members Of Congress,
wanted TO hear the provisions Of the bill.
and objected.
The general debate on the bill will be
begun Monday. and it is expected that at
least four or five days will be consumed
in that part Of the programme. There
will be no session OF the House to-day.
It Is thought the measure will be placed
under the five-minute rule about next
Friday or Saturday. and then the real bat
lie will begin.
To Pass About April 10.
April Is is the earliest date on which
the bill can be passed by the House. ac-
cording to the Republican leaders No
effort will be made as in former years to
push the measure through under hard
and fast rule limiting debate.
II the Republican leaders were dis
posed TO put the gag rule into effect they
would ind themselves face TO face with

ished at 4:55 o'clock the Committee OF
the Whole rose and Mr.. Olmsted, OF

The need Of such a committee has been

OF the increasing demand OF the govern

alarming growth of the annual supply

expenditures over receipts. which If con-
tinuel unchecked would wipe out the
Treasury surplus.
Some OF the leading members Of the
Senate who have been looking into the
matter believe that through the wise
deliberations OF the committee il viii be

September Editions.

All the New Orleans papers come
to Covington this week swelled up
with advertisements, reviews of trade
conditions and other interesting mat
ter for the trade editions of Septem-
Der /. From the appearance of these
special editions, New Orleans mer-
chants must be preparing for a big
fall trade, with no indication of lack of
confidence in the outlook. A very
cheering feature of the special edi-
tions is the amount of space devoted
to the Frisco Railroad, which is ex-
pected to be of great assistance in de-
veloping New Orleans.
