On returning home Washington, Feb. 28. rrihe last day of the straggle over' the 'Porto Rico Tariff bill in the House opened at 11 o'clock with almost every imember in his iseat and a larsre attendance in the galleries. The leaders on both sides were actively engaged in rallying; their forces and malting computations upon the final vote, "which was to be taken under the order at 3 o'clock. Mr. underwood of Lilaibairna, the Deiinocratic whip, said the result would be very close and turn upon the vote of t wo or three mien on the 'Democratic side. M r. Tawney, the JiepuMiean whip, .said the bill would, have five votes to ispare. He said the maim dan ger lay in the -motion to reoomiJinit. .Iimnediately after the reading of the journal the clei-k 'began reading: the bill for amendment under tho five minute rule. ! When section 3 was readied Mr ' 'Payne, 'chairman of the 'Ways and Means 'Oomi'mittee, offered a substi tute. Mr. Payne explained that the smbsti tute did two thintgs: It reduced t'h-e duty frotin 25 to 15 per cent and at also rumoved some confusion " regarding double ta rat Ion. Mr. Payne said he still adhered to the opinion that 25 pej cent would 'be better than 15, (because it would raise 'more revenue, but 15 per cent was better than nothing. In ausw,,T to a question as to how mm eh the 'bill as amended would raise, Mr. Pavno said the estimate for the original bill was .$1,700,000. If that es tknate was correct, the amended bill would raise about $1,250,000 per an il urn. 'Mr. Payne took occasion, to ie- irove isomie of Ms critics, twho had eompl allied that he hacf: gifen -no'x f plana Hon. llle had believed in free trade with 'Porto Rico at one time, but subsequent information had convinced him that the duty proposed by the pending -bill skouJd be imposed.

The first steps toward making a general strike of machinists for recognition of their union and a nniniimutn sca.lo of wages were taken today by the executive council of the International .Machin ists' Union; when a member of the ex ecutive commiTttee left for Milwaukee to oall out the union machinists of that city. - Death Sentence Affirmed. "Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 2S. The Su preme Coyrt today affirmed the death sentence in the case of John Watson, of Warren county, who was convicted uny has presented a petition of the murder of Joe Hillis and sen r of Albemarle praying for,tenced him to be hanged April 25. Congressional 'Record would ha ve .been eli'minated. No one would have had the 'hardihood to say that the consti tution did not extend over every foot of soil. Mr. DeAnmond of Missouri called at tQiition to the peculiar language of the substitute. The words "Coming into the United States," he said, were plain ly intendetl to evade the constitution. But he arsrued that the "murdering of the C neon's English" and the ""Viola tion of the canons of language" could not make it constitutional. Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania, the ven erable ex-sjeaker of the House, and Mr. Graff of Illinois, spoke briefly in support of the bill. The 'latter said his constituents expected him to abide by the will of the majority of his party. He did not desire to go back to his district to apologize for his party by announcing that: he was right and it was wrong. lie referred to the history of the efforts of the Democrats to prematurely force the administratien into the Spanish war in vindication-of the policy of stand ing by the administration. Speeches we.re made in favor of the bill by Messrs. Bromwell and Grosve nor of Ohio. . Mr. Otey of Virginia followed Mr. (Srosvenor with a speech whieh con vulsed the. House and galleyes. He mimicked the mannerism of some of the Republican leaders, concluding with a parody upon the speech of Mr. Cannon of Illinois yesterday. The Payne amendment was adopted without division. ' Many members on both sides of the House made five-minute speeches ex plaining their position. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee had read -a communication from a delega- tion of iPorto Ricans appealing for free trade. Mr. Payne, in reply, said the gentle men who signed that communication were all directly pecuniarily interested in importing .sugar and tobacco from the United States. They were whining about the lobbies of the United (States Congress, sheddiHg tears for the poor people of Porto Rico, yet they were unwilling to sacrifice $1007000 for the benefit of the island. So far as the Merchants' Association of New York was concerned, it was interested in frae trade with all the world. Mr. Sibley of Pennsylvania an nounced his intention of voting for the bill, in a ten-uiinute s-peecti that at tracted anuch- attenticm. He said tha oil the testimony before the insular committee showed that the people of 333.28, Tl-i 1 -r"i - - - i uno iico were in a deplorable condi tion. While we were debating the situation- they Were starving. For himself, he -considered it his duty to support the bill. But Porto Rico was a mere incident to the broader proposition. "The emergency," Interrupted Mr. Williams of Illinois, "is not in Porto Rico, butin the politics of the Re publican 'party." (Democratic ap plause.) . Mr, Sibley "You have located the politics on the wrong side." (Repub lican . applause.) Mr., Williams "It is pretty hard to locate you." (laughter.) Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, in the course of his remarks, said he was hazarding nothing when he said that the treaty hy.wIch Porto Rico and the Philip pines became ours could never have been, ratified without Democratic sup ports .
