House Committee on Rules Decides on
Special Rule Which Provides
For Separate Vote on
Number Of Articles.
LEADERS WORK HARD
Reported That Many Compromises and
Concessions Were Made on Part
of Leaders and Directors
Galleries Crowded.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The gal
lerles were crowded when the house
convened at 10 o'clock today. Mrs.
Ia1t and her son, Robert were in the
gallery. A new movement for a
change in the Payne bill was started
IN the house during the morning but
those concerned with 1t explained that
II was a petition, not an instruction,
that they had in mind. 1t drew up a
request to the ways and means com.
mittee on drawback provision, so as
to change the drawback on tin plate
from SO per cent to so per cent. About
twenty members signed the petition.
The application for change is due
largely to the desires of the amalga-
mated association of iron. steel and
tin workers. At II o'clock house lead
ers announced they admitted they
hadn't enough votes pledged to pass
the proposed rule on the tariff bill but
expected to get the number needed by
securing the support of the high tariff
insurgents. Their offer to the latter
was that they would do all in their
power to have the senate place in the
tariff bill items desired by the high
tariff men. The latter took the offer
under consideration.
The house committee on rules this
afternoon decided on its special rule
on tariff bill. 1t provides there shall
be separate vote on hides, lumber,
oil, barley. malt, tea, and coffee, and
final voting on the amendment OF the
bill shall begin Friday, April 8.
The rule also provides that an ad-
valorem duty of twenty-five per cent
be put on oil. 1t was formally pre-.
sented the house at 2:40 this after.
noon by Dalzell. of the committee
There was intense excitement in the
house when the committee, led by Can
non, filed into the chamber. The com
mittee has been in session severa
hours, and most conflicting reports
had been in circulation as to their
progress. In the meantime, the hard
est kind of close personal work was
done by the leaders to bring the OBJ
iectors into line. 1t is reported that
the last to surrender were members,
mostly from cities, who insisted on a
separate vote for gloves and stockings
They we're won over by the promise
that the bill as finally enacted into a
law, would contain the Dingley rates
on gloves and stockings.
