FIFTEENTH YEAR. TARIFF TINKERS ~ TRIPPED. The House 8its Down Emphatically on Con- sidering Morrison's Bill, A DECISIVE VOTE AGAINST IT. Only Four Republicans Cast Their Ballots in Favor of the Measure ~A Day of Excitement— Capital Notes, Morrison Badly Mangled. SHINGTON, June ~|Special Tele- gram to the Bry Morrison was defeated in hi smpt to zet up the tariff bill to-day by th isive vote of 150 to 140, Of this vote twenty-five demoerats were with’ the repub- licans and four republicans voted with the democrats, It was an exciting day in the house. When the blind preacher finished his prayer at 11 o° there was a larger attend- ance of members present than at any time since Decewber, Morrison and Randall © both busy during the morning hours g for the coming fight. Last night Morrisons had telegraped Holman that the vote would be put off until he arrived, and as the train came in at the Baltinore & Ohio depot at 1:15 p, m., it would only take a few minutes for him to get to the capitol, and so at 1:30 the motion would be mad The re- publicans were anxious to know exactly when the bill would be ealled up, and 0 they asked and were told. Then it ceame only the duty of the house to kill time. Al starts of filibustering motions were made and Morrison walked about the floor during the last hour, repeatedly looking at the clock, while in Carlisle’s room the waver- ing democrats were having courage put into them by the free traders, One or two of the doubtful demoerats, who had wished to vote for the bill, were by this means kept firm. But the republicans had nothing to fear. All well with them. actly at the hou pointed Morrison moved to take up the bill. MeKinley of Ohio was about to call for an aye and no vote when Morrison askea for it himself. The gal s were crowded, and although the considerable noise about the house a a rap from the speaker’s deskbrought silence. T'ie vote proceeded in silence v Holman’s name was called. Noone responded. "Then, just as the cle was about to pass on, a vote came . y one looked towards Holman’s seat, and there sat the great objector, fresh from the railroad ears, with the stain of travel upon him. His vote bronght forth arovnd of applause, and the demoeratic members crowded around and congratulated him. There were 207 votes out of ast, and all butone of the absentees were paired, so that it 1eft but one momber absent (Fredericks, of Towa). Morrison. of course, is disapnointed, for he agamnst fate that his motion would be ca Ie gave nottee th; he would call the bill up again on Tuesd next, be. cause, he says, Lie wants to emphasize the of the democrats who voted against him and let them go before their constituents as opposed to the Chicago platform. It is said his real object is to give the president an opportunity to whip the democrats into line, but no one believes future votes on the subject will be any more fayorable to tariff reform than the one to-day. The three Ny ska members voted against consideration. “All the demoerats in the Towadelegation present (Hall and Fredericks were present) voted for the bill, and all the republicans against it. OF the four repubiicans who voted for con- gideration, three are from the state of Min- nesota (Mes: Nelson, Strart and Wake- field), and the fourth (James) is one of the New York representatives. Of the 136 demo- crats voting, 122 were cast by representatives from the south and west, and 14 by repre- sentatives from the eastern and middle states. The Ohio democrats voting for the consideration were Messrs. Anderson, Hill and Outhwaite, the New York demo- crats, Adams, Beach, Belmont, Felix Campbell, Hewitt and Mahoney; Pennsyl- vania democrats, Scott, Storm and Swope. Of the 157 negative v st by re- publicans and thirty-five democrats, Of the thirty-five democerats voting in the negativ 8ix came from southern states, as tollow Maryland, Findlay; I Gay, Iron, F. Martinand \ artin, The western states contributed eleven negative votes, as follows: California; Henley; iinois, Lawlerand Woods Ohio, Campbell, Ellsbe) Foran, Geddes, LeFevre, Seney, Warre Williams. The remaining democratic ne tive votes were cast by members from New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as fol- lows: New York, Arnot, Bliss, T, J bell, Dowdney, Merriman, Muller, Pindar, Sprizgs, Stahlnecker and Viele; New Jersey Green, MeAdoo and Pideock; Pennsylva Boyle, Curtin, Ermentrout, Randall and Sow- den, HOW T1 NE: While waiting for the his seat with arms folded nsual importance on his Kinley looked the least concerned of all, sitting back on a sofa smoking serenely.
