The democratic leader, Mr. Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, devot- ed the afternoon to an explanation of the proposed revision of the wool sehodule and to an attack upon the Payne tariff law and the republican party. He was met at almost every stave of his argument by replies by former Chairman Payne, now the ranking re- publican on the ways and means com- mittee, and by other republicans who questioned h ents and his ar- guments.
