&r. Vest offered a resolution contin-
mua toe existence oi toe select com-
mSttee on questions touching the
meat prod act of the United State?,
especially as to its transportation,
with leave to sit during tne session
and during the next recess. He said
that,: in the pressure of . business, it
was Simply impossible for the oom
mittee to continue its labors at the
present time. At the suggestion of
Air. Sherman the resolution was re
feared to the committee on contingent
expenses. . !
JMr. Plumb offered the following
resolution, which was agreed to:
Instructing the committee on epi
demic diseases to inquire as to the
causes of the introduction of yellow
feter. into Florida during the past
season; whether the instrumentalities
of such introduction are still enforced
and what legislation, if fiany, is neces
sary to prevent similar or other in
troductions of yellow feyer.
At 12:30 the denate proceeded to
the; consideration of thej; tariff bill.
Mr. Harris asked kMr. Allison
whether the Senate committee on fi
nance had reported only one amend-
Mr. Allison I think ibne.
Mr. Harris That is my impression.
KLri Allison rnere f i is but one
amendment to the House bil', in the
nature of a substitute..
Mr. Harris In orderji to test the
sense of the Senate as td. whether the
principle indicated by Uje House bill,
which, as I understand ijit, proposes
to reduce the revenue ;by reducing
taxation, shall prevail : of whether the
principle on which the iibstitute pro-
ceeds that of reducing, the revenue
by to aoire extent at least) increasing
taxation, shall prevail, 1 1 move to lay
the amendment on the! table, an 'I I
ask f or the yfcss and nay. The mo
tion was rejected yeat 19, nays 26,
strict party vote. i;'
The Clerk then proceeded with the
reading of the substitute for amend
ments. Ml
Mir. Vance moved an amendment to
the tobacco section, ! reducing the
limit of the claim for .rebate from
910 to $5. Rejected.;1 No other
amendment was offered-! to the to
bacco section. i ti.
The next subject (commencing at
section 6 and ending at: section 11)
was that of "alcohol in the industrial
arts.? No amendment was offered;
bat Mr Sherman said! that he had
very grave doubts as to he practica
bility of appljing these sections with
out encouraging fraudi ;He believed
one to remove all tax from alcohol
usedi in manufactures, arts or medi-
loines. The sections wen verj harsh
ana severe unnecessarily so but he
did not: believe that, with all their
rBbneM d MrHj w0Qld
be successfully applied; and executed.
tie was willing to see the experiment
tried; but be simplv wished to enter
his ebviaU He added thjtt he would
reserve the right to offer? one or two
amendments to some ot the details.
Mr. Harris gave notice that he
would also have some amendments to
offer ;to the internal revenue sections
of the bill.
Mrr Vance offered an ' amendment
removing from all internal revenue
statutes all provisions fixing the mini
mum' of penalty and leaving the mat
ter t the discretion of the court: The
amendment was rejected by a party
vote--yeafl 17, nays 28. i f
Miij Vance also offered an amend
ment (rejected without j division) pro
viding that no warrant shall be
issued in cases of internal revenue
offences, except on affidavit of the
collector or deputy collector or reve
nue agents; and that no lees shall be
paid by the government unless there
be a conviction or unless the prose
cution shall have been! Approved by
tne United States District Attorney
Various other amendments to the in
ternal revenue statutes! were offered
tlement bill came up as luninished
o.ja w viwm un viuvwi X BU1UU DCb
business and it was, on motion of
Mr. W rye, postponed as a special or
der bill to Wednesday next at two
o'olook. i
The tariff bill was then resumed
Mr. Vance offered another amend
mentjj which was agreed! to without
division. It provides that when the
health or life of a prisoner under the
internal revenue laws U i endangered
by close confinement the judge, may
issue!! an order providing for such
prisoners reasonable 1 comfort and
wellbouSg. I i
Then came section 12 which deals
with ! "duties upon . imports" be
ginning with schedule: AL "chemical
imports." ! I
Mr. MoPherson called attention to
the fact that the rates fof dutv re
ported for chemical'proddcts made no
allowance for remittance of . tax on
pirits used in medicines. This re
mission would, be said,; simply oper
ate as an additional tiointy to the
manufacturers of chemical products.
No member of the finance e )mmittee
would deny that there would be great
frauds on the revenue j under pro
visions for free alcohol fin the art
and in manufacture. He therefore
regarded these provisions as the first
step toward total abrogation of the
wuisay tax.
The discussion took a political turn
and in the course of it Dawes asked
McPherson whether he would abol
ish the practical system or the inter
nal revenue system if the alternative
were presented.
MoPherson I am not in tin h,"btt
of jumping before I reach ih9 sil
When any such question comi s befort
the Senate for action I will t k that
matter under prayerful ccnsiler-
ation. i
Dawes, I state distinctly (and 1
should like to see the republican dif
fering from me) when that alternative
is presented to me I will vote for th
abolition of the internal revenue rvs
tern and against the abolition of ih
protective system;
A vote was taken on Mcrnersnn
motion to strike out all sections as
to alcohol used in manufactures, and
it was rejected Yeas 17, nays 24.
Mr. Sherman voted with the other re
publicans in the negative. M?. Mc
Pherson gave nouoe that he would
renew the motion hereafter. After
disnoBinsr of thirty pages of the bill
and reaching the end of the schedule
(no amendment being offered to it)
the Senate I proceeded to executive
business, and at 3:50 adjourned. ,
) EOtTSl.
In his opening prayer the Chaplain
asked for tue protection of the President-elect
in the : following words :
'Amidst the perplexities by which he
is beset, under the solemn sense of
responsibility of his great trust, grant
him a sense of Thy presence and com
fort; guard his person from all peril
and danger; preserve him in perfect
health of body and of mind; vouch
safe him light and cheer; and be Thou
the strength of his heart and his por
tion forever."
Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, from
the committee on printing, reported
a resolution for printing 25,000 copies
of the President's message. Adopted.
Under the call of! States, a number
of bills, &c , were introduced and re
ferred, i
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, asked
unanimous consent for the immediate
consideration of a resolution making
the bill for the immediate admis
sion of Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton and New Mexico a special order for
today, the bill to be considered from
day to day until disposed of.
Mr. UroBvenor, of Ohio, objected,
remarking that the! gentleman from
Illinois had not appeared very anxious
laBt session to admit Dakota.
Ia consideration of the morning
hour, the House proceeded to con
sider the Senate bUl for the adjust
ment of accounts of laborer?, work
men ahd mechanics, arising under the
eight-hour law. Mr. Tarsney, of Mich
igan, in charge of the bill, briefly ex
plained that the bill carried no appro
priation, but simply provided that
workmen could go before the Court
of Claims and have there settled the
question of the legal construction of
the contract between themselves and
the government. If the government
had incurred an obligation, it was in
honor bound to, pay it-
The morning hour expired without
action upon the bill being reached.
Mr. Payson, of Illinois, from the
committee on public lands, reported
as privileged matter the bill to quiet
the title of settlers on the Das Moines
river lands in Iowa.
Mr. Bowell, of Illinois, made the
point of order that the report was
not a privileged one. Daring the
last session a similar point of order
was made against the bill and was
sustained by Mr. Cox, of New York,
who was acting as Speaker pro tern.
Subsequently Mr. Payson again at
tempted to report the bill. Again
the point was raised and the Speaker
reserved his decision.
Speaker Carlisle now, however,
ruled against Mr. Rowell'a point and
reversed Mr. Cox's decision, holding
that the bill presented a matter of
privilege and was before the House
for consideration.
Before the discussion opened pro
ceedings were interrupted to enable
Mr. Mills, of Texas, to present, and
the House to enter, the following or
der: That Thursday, December 6 th,
Saturday, the 8tb, and Tuesday, the
11th, immediately after the reading
of the journal, be set apart for the
consideration of Senate bill 139 (the
direct tax bill), now in committee of
the whole, and that at 4 p. m., Tues
day, December 11th, the same shall
be reported to the House with such
amendments may have been agreed
upon in committee and the previous
question shall then be considered as
ordered on all such amendments on
ordering the bill to its third reading
and on its -passage and votes thereon
shall then be taken in the House.
This order was not formulated at
any regular meeting of the commit
tee on rules, but was framed after
a consultation between Messrs. Mills
and Randall in order to meet the re
quirements of the caucus, resolution
adopted last session.
Mr. Springer, of 111., asked, unani
mous consent fo? the adoption of the
resolution making the Senate bill for
the admission of the territory of
South Dakota and the organization
of the territory of North Dakota a
special order for tomorrow and from
day to day until disposed of, leave
being granted ior u.e onering as a
substitute of 1 the louse "omnibus
bill. Thereafter the bill for the ad
mission of Montana, Washington
and New Mexico shall be in order
until disposed of. i
Mr. Payson objected for present,
and ca'icd up the Dee Moines river
land bill. 4
Mr. Wheeler,, of Ala., regretted
that the bill had been brought into
the House enexpectedly thus pre
venting him from filing a minority
report as ho ; had intended to do.
There were in the committee room
numerous petitions from settlers pro
testing against the bill but he was
not now able- to obtain them. The
bill then passed. The speaker laid
etore the House the annual report
of the Attorney General and it was
-ippropnately referred, lhe Mouse
then at 4:30 adjourned.
