MONDAY, AUGUST 4, 1899. ERS’ ASSAULT @ Arkansas Member Bitterly At- tacks the Speaker, RATTLING THE CHINA WARE. The Senate Resumes Its Labors on the Tariff Bill. —__ LAWYER MORGAN AND THE FARMERS. ae SENATE. Mr. Davis offered aresolution calling on the Secretary of War for information on the sub- ject of the accident last Friday to the lock of the Sault St. Marie canal, He spoke of it asa most verious calamity to the commerce of the Nation, costing (18 he had been informed by telegraph) 500.000 a day, He also mentioned, incidentally. the failure of the House to act on @ bill passed by the Senate some months ago providing for a second and larger lock. Mr. Cullom hoped that the House would be induced to take up that measure and pass it. If uot it wonld be weil enouzh for the Senate tu take up the river and hurbor billat an earlier day than bad been agreed upon, 80 as to have an appropriation secured tor thet important work, MR, COCKRELL SARCASTIC. Mr. Cockrell inquired whether “the business branch of Congress” had paid no attention to the bill referred to. Mr. Cullom seid it bad not. Mr. Cockreil —ihat is very remarkable—that a body organized with one man for ihe purpose Of trausucting business will not do it. Mr. Cullom—I have no remark to make on | that subject, except to state that a bill making the necessary arrangement for the completion of this greut work passed the Senate some time ago. Mr. Cockrell—Did I understand the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. Davis) to say that the loss to commerce through the accident amounts to €500,000 a day? Mr. Davis—so Lam informed by telegraph. Mr. Cockrell—And yet “the business Lrauch of Congress” pays uo attention to the matter. MR. PAYNE THINKS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. Mr, Payne stated that he had received a tele- gram from the manxging exccutive committee of the Iron Ore Transportation Company stat- ing that for the two weeks ending onthe 26th of July the passage through ihe jock averaged fifty-two veswelsa day, with a capacity of over 63.000 tons. ‘ibe matter was cue of general interest to the whole country. The representa- tives of that interest had gone before the Sen- ate committee on commerce early in the ses- sion and were met nobly by that committee, which investigated the matter and reported a bill providing for the completion of the second lock within two years. That bill bad been passed by the unanimous vote of the Senate and had gone to the House, He did not know how delicate one had to be in talking about the other house, but he was informed that that bill had been approved by the river and harbor committee of the House, but that for several months past the committee had not been able to yet a hearin; tor it before the House. ‘Ihere was where the matter stood. Whether it would be an act of humiliation for the Senate to ask the other house rexpecituliy to act on that billhe wouid uot undectake to jndge, but something ouzht to be done. ‘The accident had been caused bya defect in the Machinery of the lock, rendering it neces- sery to draw off the water, Such an accident was liable to happen at any time, causing au immeasurable amount of damage. It was there‘ore of very great impertauce, and he was glad that the attention of the Scnate had been drawn to it, NOT IN ORDER, Mr. Edmunds did not think it a proper thing to spend time in discussing the couduct of the other branch of Congress. All that the Senate had to do with it just vow was to consider the accident to the canal lock, and he thouht that asthe appropristions made m the river and harbor bill of two vexrs ago were still in force the engineer department had mouey enough at its disposal to remedy the defect. If so, there was no benefit in the Senate making a very extrnordinory display of itself on the sub- ject. If there was not money availiable for the work he Was willing to passa joint resolution this morning to provide money enough. Mr. Payne said that the damaze was being das fast as five hundred men coud do would be compicted tomorrow or Lut the main of jeet of the appeal e868 Was that provision should be lade for th wddivoual . ‘The capwcity of the old lock had been reached and surpassed, COMPARED WITH THE SUBZ CANAL. Mr. Frye, iu order to «mphasize lute necessity for two lock canal, said that more commerce passed through that cnnal in ei ht months than passed through the Suez canal in the whole year. bwon said that the accident alxo em- phasized the necessity of taking up and pas- the river and harbor bill, He had no that the lure to pass the bill for improving the Mississippi river was equal io a tax of fifty miilions : year on the producers im the Mississippi valley. ‘ihe resolution was agreed to. AN ADMONITION FROM THE CHAIR. The presiding officer (Mr. Ingulls) said that he had observed, with regret, the growing ten- dency to allud: in terme of severity and dis- ura ement to the proceedings of the other house uf Congress, It was a violation of the fundamental principles of parliam-ntary law torever in one house to what was done or said in the other house. He hoped that the Senate in the preservauon of its own dignity, and in the protection of its own immuuity from re- crimination, would observe those rules and re- frain from such ullusious in iuture, THE GRANT TOMB RESOLUTION, The resolution offered on Saturday last by Mr. Plumb as to the reinterment of the re- mains of Gen. Grant in the Arlington National Cemetery was, at the suggestion of Mr. Plumb, allowed to remain on the table, to be called up at some other time, TALKING TARIFF, The tariff bill was taken up, the pending question being on Mr. Vest’s amendment to the china ware paragraph reducing the duty on decorated ware to 50 per cent ad valorem, and on plain, undecorated ware to 40 per cent instead of 55 and 50, a8 recommended by the finance committee, and instead of 60 and 65 in the House bill. Mr. Manderson said that he bad voted on Saturday evening against Mr. Vest’s amend- ment and would do soaguin, because le thought that the rates pro) were too low. He favored, however, the rates recommended by the finance committee. He was a protectionist Fock pic see but he did not believe in unneces- ly high rates of duty. He believed (as had been said by Mr. His- cock the other ) in giving manufacturers no greater rates of duty than were absolutely necessary for them to carry on their business successfally. ‘MR. PLUMB QUOTES MANUFACTURERS. Mr, Plumb read from a letter published in the New York Times as to s conference be- tween china manufacturers end importers, in which lower rates of duty than recommended by the finance committee had been accepted a8 mutually satisfactory. He thought it would be an ontrage to give them more. | thousands of importers in bis owu city and state wio would uot very much relish his remarks, H | He went on with an argument in snpport of Mr. Vest’s amendment, asserting that there was ho sense inthe high rates proposed by the finance committee. Mr. Dawes opposed the amendment, advo- cated the committee amendment and eulogized the protective system. Mr. Vest mod.fied bis amendment by chang- ing the rate on plain white china ware to 45 instead of 40 per cent, THE AMENDMENT REJECTED. The amendment was then voted on and was rejected: Yeas, 19; nays, 25. YoTED WITH THE DEMOCRATS. Messrs, Ingalis, Manderson, Paddock and Plumb voted aye with the democrats, and Mr. Payne voted no with the republicans, ACTION ON OTHER AMENDMENTS, The nextvote was on Mir. Butler's amend- ment to make three instead of two categories of chinaware and to make the rates 50, 45 and 40. It was rejected without « division. The amendment of the finance committee (making the raves 55 und 60 per cent) was Agreed to without a division. The next question was on a committee amendment to paragraph 101 as to “all other striking out the Hovse paragraph | Which fixes the rate on decorated ware at 60 | Der cencand on undecoraied at 55 per cent, | and substituting another designation on which @ rate of 50 per cent is fixed, Mr. Piumb moved to make the rate 45 per cent. Rejected. ‘The committee amendment was agreed to, TALKING ABUT BOTTLES, The next question was on paragraph 1023¢— | glass und glassware, ‘The committve amend- | Ment was to strike out the paragraph in the House bill fixing fo: on bottles, aceord- ing to sizes, and to substitute for it a different classification with two rates—one cent per pound on bottles holding not less than a pint (and on demijohns and carboys) and one and 4 half cents a pound on botiles holding less than a pint. Mr. Vauce moved to amend the committee's amendment by substiiuting for both rates one Tate of three-fourth cent per pound.
