Agreed to—yeas 65, nays 63—Mr. Kasson and Mr. Anderson being the only republicans voting tn the affirmative. Zi Mr. Flower moved to strike out the item placing a duty of 10 per cent on the sulphate and sgits of cae ans which to extended de- Mr. McKenzie, the author of. the tree quinine. Dil, said chat no Dill ever passed by Con- gress had met with such unstinted praise from the country. The estimated consumption of quinine in the United States was 2,000,000 ounces per year and the saving resulting form the passage of the bill amounted to $1,500,000. The committee might as well lay a tax ou alr and sun- light, which it probably would do if a single citi- zen or firm in Philadelphia were engaged In the Manufacture of either. He had vigorously op- posed the tariff commission Dill,and had char- acterized the commissioners a8 middle-aged, highly prejudiced specialists; but after reading this bill in comparison with the bill of the tariff commission, he desired to retract all hisatter- ances, [Laughter.) The free lst in this bill was full of wisdom and benevolence. The com mittee, thank Gos, had made blood free. [Laughter.] It a tax of one cent was levied on the blood which had been extracted from the people through this infumous tariff system, there would be no need of any other tax. It had placed bone dust on the free list. “My God, gentiemen,” he exclaimed, “you are manufacturing bone Gust in poor graveyards whenever you tax qul- nine.” ‘The committee had placed musk and civet on the free list, and when he came to look at this bill In its concavity and convexity, in its obliguity and iniquity, he felt like exclaining with Lear, “Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary, to Sweeten my imagination.” '(Laughter.) It had exempted peeac. Jt need not have done 80, be~ case it had itself created nausea enough among the people to spew the republican party out In 1884. “Divi-divi” was on the free list. He did not know what that was, but he presumed it was made to protect the committee on ways and means, which wanted a double quantity of it, whatever it was. [Laughter.] Leeches were on the free list. That exempted the protectt and the committee on ways and means, [Laugh- ter.] “Junk, not otherwise enumerated,” was on the free list. This was done for the protection of the committee on ways and means. Its members Were tast growing old, thank God. [Laughter.} They might stay out of the country, and if they ever came back they would have to come in under the head of Junk. [Laughter.] . FREE QUININE. The item placing a duty of ten per cent on sul- phate and salts of quintaand cinchonida was finally struck from the bill by a vote of yeas 108, nays 57, and the result was received by applause on the democratic side. MINERAL WATERS. The following clause having been reached it ‘Was, on motion of Mr. Kelley, struck out: “Natu- raland imitation mineral waters, and all wholly artificial mineral waters, containing not more than one quart each, three cents per bottle or jug; containing more than one quart, or fraction thereof, three cents additional for each bottle or jug.” The following was inserted in its place: “Imitation mineral waters and all artifictal mineral waters shall pay upon bottles or juga containing no more than one quart each, 3 cents per bottle or Jugs containing more than one uart, 8 cents for each additional quart or fraction ereof; and upon such bottles or jugs there shall ‘be no duty imposed.” Having completed the consideration of 52 of the 160 {tems of the chemical schedule, the committee rosé.

In the House the Comunteuse were detented by a yoto or two to ons and it was left, where it now is, tree from duty. ‘The result was received with applause on the Gemocratic side, The debate showed that there re only fifteen mautactories of quinine in the nists | World, five of which are in thts country, and at poe one-fifth of all the quinine consumed is pro- THE WAVY PaY cons. In the Senate to-day Mr. Hawley gave notice that he would offer,as an amendment to the naval appropriation bill, to strike out the followin; ‘Provided, That when vacancies occur hereafter in the paymasters’ corps,there shall be no original appointments to fill such vacanctes, but promo- tions may be made, according to existing regula- Uons, from those remaining in sald corps. Officers in the lne shall be detailed to perform the duties of paymasters under the some rules and regulations as are now required of paymas- ters, but such officers shail not be entitled to In- creased compensation in consquence of perform- ing such duties,” and insert in Heu thereof: *Pro- vided, That when vacancies occur hereafter In the Junior grade of the pay corps there shall be no further appointments Trom civil life to fill such Vacancies, but appointments thereto skall be made from graduates of the naval acad- emy (subject to the same laws and Tegulations now in force,) in the same manner as how provided by the first section of the act of August 5, 1882, for appointments into the lower grades of the iine and engineer corps of the navy and of the marine corps.” The amendment was referred to the committee on appropriations and ordered to be printe. A simjlar amendment was also offered by Mr. Groome and referred to the same committee. SURPLUS SILVER COINAGE. ‘The House committee on ccinage, weights and measures to-day had under consideration Secre- tary Folger’s letter recommending that either the coinage of the sliver dollar be stopped or that ad- Gitional vault room for storage of the excess of Silver be provided at the various mints and sud- treasuries in the east, and that means be taken to transport the excess of silver at the San Francisco Mint—where additional vault room cannot be had—to the east. Action on the proposition was deferred until the next meeting, which Will be on Saturday next. THE TARIFF BILL AND PROSPECT OF AN EXTRA SES- SION. The democratic members of the House of Repre- sentatives generally have no Idea that the Presi- dent will call an extra session of Congress in case of the failure of the tariff bill A great num- ber of them are of the opinion also that the bill willfall. Since Monday last the House in com- mittee of the whole have nad the bill under con- sideration under the five minute rule, and as yet has not completed eleven of the one hundred and forty pages of the bill. It ts claimed that the schedule now under discussion, relating to chem- icals, Is one which will excite less discussion than any other. If this view be a correct one. the 4th of March will find the bill about half finished. The © pposition to the Dill thus far has not been fac- Uous, but to almost every article made dutiable a dozen or more amendments are offered. ‘The Senate, on the other hand, is making con- siderable progress, The iron schedule, when com- pleted, will be probably the most difficult scheaule of the bill disposed of. It 1s the intention to keep in sesston until midnight during the remainder of the week, in the hope that the Senate bill can be eee of by the middie of next week, if not this weel ———__+e- —____ SOCIETY NOTES. The calling yesterday afternoon was very gen- eral, the fine weather tempting many out. At General Sherman’s, his daughters, with Mrs. Col. Moore, recetved many calls. Next door Mrs, General Van Vilet and her sister and niece, Mrs, and Miss Moore, were at home. On K street, the receptions of Mrs. General Hazen, Mrs. Drum with a bevy of young ladies, Mrs. and Miss Loring, Mrs. English, and a group of Representatives’ wives at the Hamilton, made that thoroughfare very anl- mated during the entire afternoon. The President's levee last evening was a grati- fying opportunity for many strangers in the city to pay respects to their chief magistrate, and to see the renovated White House at its best under gaslight, A light decoration of plants and flowers ornamented the state parlors and grand corridor, and the two state and family dining-rooras were converted tuto cloak rooms. The conservatories Were opened and lighted. The customary private entrance Was arranged for special and as for the multitude was provided through the east hall-window improvised into a doorway. ing headed with ‘fail tote ctor ‘abies opening were heard, the Fresident, wearing @ plain Great sults with ile gloves ‘and a red rose fas- ‘teded on his lert breast, entered the Biue Parlor at 8, with Mrs. Mckiroy upon his arm, and greeted his Cabinet and the ladies with them: The receiving line was formed at once, and the main door was opened to admit the waiting throng outside.

Col Rockwell and Mar- shal McMichael made the presentations to the President.

Nearly 9,500 callers had been presented when the reception closed at 10 o'clock. A reception given last evening by the Wiscon- sin ee Association was a pleasant reunion of residents of that state, and an occasion of much enjoyment to those invited to meet them.
