Ovation or the Leaders. The leaders on 0th sides were accorded ovations as they tered the hall. As ex- Speaker Reed p1 ed through one of the lobby doors on way to his seat the gal- leries recognize him, and the applause was prolonged fully half a. minute. Mr. Reed bowe his acknowledgments. A similar demostration occurred when Speaker Crisp, d nified and erect, ascend- ed the rostrom (i called the house to order. The speeches ere not to begin until noon, according the special order. The hour whid intervened after the reading of the journl witnessed a continuation of the 'skirmsh over the amendments to the barley scbdule. On Monday and yester- day Mr. Lockwood (N. Y.) succeeded in preventing a vote on these amendments by filibusering, andas soon as the reading of the jounal was completed he followed up his ohm-notion programme by making the point if “no quorum.” Although there was manifestly a quorum present, the rules required but the roll be called, and the speaker hid no alternative save to order the roll caled. Mr. Lockwood knew that if he could hold the fort until high noon he would again be victorious. Monotano-isly the droning voice of the reading clerk went through the roll call, while the vast concourse of people mar- veled at the peculiar proceedings, which in no wise corresponded with the activity they had anticipated. During the progress of the call the crowds at the doors of the public galleries became so great that the speaker was obliged to call upon the door- keepers to see that some of the people gave way. Twenty minutes were occupied in the roll call. The speaker announced the presence of 221 members. Lockwood \Vanted Delay. Mr. Lockwood attempted to continue his filibuster by moving adjourn, but the speaker refused to en ertain the mo- tion on the ground that it was not provid- ed for in the order. He laid before the house several executive communications, and then the committees Were called for re- ports. As soon as this regular routine business had been disposed of the special. order was read, and then at 11:20 the house went into the committee of the whole for the further consideration of the tarifi bill. Mr. RiChardson took the chair and an- nounced that the pending question was to They all read the Guarani close debate on the amendments to the barley schedule. Mr. \Vilson and Mr. Warner, the tellers, took their places. The members came for- ward to be counted. The public was being treated to a taste of the laborious and un— interesting parliamentary work of perfect- ” ing a bill in the committee of the whole. The motion was carried—179 to 0. Mr. Lockwood was again on his feet fighting for time. He submitted a parlia- mentary inquiry as to whether, if the com- mittee placed a. prohibitive duty on bar- ley, a. yea and nay vote could be secured in the house. The chairman replied sharp- ly that he could not bind the speaker by his decision, but that a yea and nay vote could be secured if the demand was sec- onded by the constitutional one-fifth of the house. He then stated the pending amendment to be on Mr. Tracey’s amend- ment to the committee amendment to in- crease the duty on barley and barley malt to 40 per cent ad valorem. This was lost -—91 to 109. Mr. Pickler’s amendment to substitute the present duty was also lost. Mr. Payne’s substitute (20 cents per bushel on barley) shared the same fate— 91 to 108. The vote would then have recurred upon the committee amendment, when Mr. VVil- son interposed with a substitute to place barley on the free list. This was voted down without division, and Mr. Lockwood offered another substitute to make the duty 10 and 20 cents per bushel respective- ly on barley and barley malt. To this Mr. Payne offered an amendment. It was quickly voted down. Mr. Lockwood, who was still industriously sparring for time, demanded a division and tellers on each vote. His own amendment was lost. Mr. Tawney (Minn) offered an amend- ment to make the duty 30 cents per bushel, and it, too, fell by the wayside. But the purpose for which the filibustering had been inaugurated was successful. The sec- onds were ticking away. The two hands of the clock opposite the speaker’s chair were pointing to noon as the tellers took their places on this motion. Before the vote could be taken Chairman Richardson rapped loudly for order. “The hour of 12 having arrived,” said he, “the committee will now rise and re— port this bill to the house.” The speaker reascended the rostrum, and the gavel was passed to him. Mr. Rich- ardson moved around to the area in front of the speaker’s chair, and according to parliamentary formula reported that the committee of the whole had had under consideration house bill 4-364. (tariff bill) and reported it to the house with sundry amendments. The speaker then announced that three hours would be allowed for clos- ing debate. “The chair recognizes the gentleman from Maine,” said the speaker, with a last rap of the gavel for order. Mr. Reed rose from the center of the Re- publican side amid the wild cheering and hand clapping of the galleries and the huz- zas of his party friends about him. Mr. Reed frowned and shook his head as though the demonstration were distasteful to him. He waited for the applause to cease. Stand- ing in the aisle, clad in a long Prince Al- bert coat, with head erect and defiant, he looked the physical and intellectual giant. He began to speak at last, slowly and de- liberately, in a. voice that has become so familiar to the people. Mr. Reed's Speech. Mr. Reed spoke as follows: In this debate, which has extended over many weeks, onc remarkable result has already been reached-a result of the deepest impor- tance to this country. That result is that the bill before us is odious to both sides of the house. It meets with favor nowhere and com« mands the respect of neither party. On this side we believe that while it pretends to be for protection it does not afford it, and on the other side they believe that while it looks to- ward frce trade it does not accomplish it. Those who will vote against this bill will do so because it opens our markets to the destruc- tive competition of foreigners, and those who vote for it do it with the reservation that they will instantly devote themselves to a new cru- sade against whatever barriers are left. Whatever speeches have been made in de- fense of the bill on the other side, whether by gentlemen who were responsible only to their own constituencies or by the gentleman from West Virginia, who ought to have been steadied by his sense of responsibilityto the whole coun- try, have one and all. with but rare exceptions. placed their authors uncoznpromisingly, except for temporary purposes, on the side of unrc- stricted free trade. It is evident that there is no ground for that hope entertained by so many moderate men, that this bill, bad as it is. could be a resting place where our manufacturingand productive industries, such as may survive. can re-estab- lish themselves and have a sure foundation for the future, free from party bickering and party strife.‘ Hence also, there can be no foundation for that cry, so insiduousl y raised, that this bill should be passed at once, because uncer- tainty is worse than any bill can possibly be. lVere this bill to pass both branches today, un- certainty would reign just thc same. Nor have we in any way exhausted the fu- ture. This country is ten times more capable to- day of further development than it was in 1860. So utterly undisputed and so distinctly visi- ble to every human being in this audience has been our growth and progress that whatever the future industrial system of this country may be the past system is a splendid monu- ment to that series of successful statesmen who found the country bankrupt and distract- ed and left it first on the list of nations. Mr. Reed here quoted at length from English authorities, showing the strength of their confidence in the prosperity of. this country. These quotations also are only reminders for you, Mr. Speaker, and all who hear me know that the American who has been long enough here to know his opportunities has found the best place for wages in the world. We may safely assume, then, Mr. Speaker, that a country which has become in the last 30 years the “richest country in the world.” to quote Mr. Jeans again, acountry which, during all that period, was a "paradise for laboring men,” does not need to try any dubiOus experi- ments. What are the reasons why any change of principle should be had? Of course, we are not to change the history of the last 30 years and the principles of a hun- dred years because some gentlemen specially gifted with sonorous voices have distributed epithets. \Ve are not going to risk our all upon fragments of ancient platform speeches, upon loud outcries and abusive language. There must be addressed to us some solid arguments, or at least the opinions of wise men who have proved their wisdom by the actual test of hu- man life. Is there any example in the history of the world of any nation situated like ours who has taken the step to which we are invited? Some gentlemen perhaps are hastening to say that England affords us the needed exam- lple. After reciting the history of English tar- tiifs and their relation to wages paid in that country, Mr. Reed said: To sum this all up, England, when she be- came free trade, was a workshop wherein was manufactured the raw material of the rest of the world. Of raw material she herself had none. Her coal and iron and the invention of the steam engine had developed her manufac- tures so out of proportion to the wages of her workmen that she must have a larger market. At that time the only idea. of a. larger market was one that had more consumers. The notion that the market could be enlarged by those who were already consumers had not entered into the popular thought, yet her workmen were clamoring for more pay. Tariff had real- ly ceased to be protection except on corn, and not'on that in any true'protective sense. It was only a tax. like that on sugar.

The whole cru- sade of 18.10 was for free food, and Cobden no- where says anything clsc. Protection, in our modern sense, is never mentioned in anyone of his free trade speeches. . After this review of the history of England‘s change. will on 3' man dare to say that he finds therein any justification for the present deed of violence which is called the Wilson bill? After quoting statistics to show the great rise in wages since 1860, Mr. Reed con- tinued: The truth is that this very question of rising wages is what makes a. good many men free traders. People with fixed incomes think that anything which raises wages is inimical to them, and manufacturers who have foreign markets are naturally anxious to have wages on the foreign standard. - I confess to you that. this question of wages is to me the vital question. To insure our growth in civilization and wealth we must not only have wages as high as they are now, but con- stantly and steadily increasing. Throughout Mr. Reed’s speech he was frequently interrupted with applause, and food dear. at times the Democrats joined in the gen eral laughter at his witticisms. \Vhen, at 1:30 o’clock, he glanced at the clock, which noted that his time had expired, the elo- quent Republican entered upon his brief peroration, there was an intense stillness through the house. His closing reference 'to that former il- lustrious leader, Lincoln, was made .in a low voice, which could hardly have been caught had not every c-xr been strained to catch every word. As- ;.., closed, his left hand was raised high in one of the few gestures which had marked his speech. As his hand fell and the speech closed, there wasa burst of applause which swelled into a tumultuous demonstration as the en- thusiastic galleries gave shouts, hurrahs and sharp whistles, which are often heard in theaters, but seldom in the halls of con- grass. Mr. Reed bowed his acknowledgment to the demonstration, and without resum‘ ing his seat or waiting for the many hands extended to congratulate him made his way back to the Republican cloakroom. Half way up the aisle he was met bya page bearing a huge basket of American Beauty and La France roses. Mr. Crisp Replies. Vv'hile the demonstration was going on Speaker Crisp relinquished the chair to Mr. Hatch (M o.) and assumed the old seat which be occupied in the days before he was elevated to the speakership. When he arose in his place, he received an ovation. The speaker is symmetrical in form, dig- nified in bearing, with a broad, well poised head, fringed with a touch of silver hair on the sides, upon a pair of square shoulders. He looked the judicial minded man he is. Until he warmed up he spoke with the hesi. tation of a man weighing each word and with a. perceptible tremor of the lip. As he became aroused, however, he displayed more freedom and ease until the words came in a perfect torrent. As Mr. Crisp proceeded he was given generous applause by his Democratic asso- ciates on the floor, but his points were of an argumentative character, which ap- pealed to the students of the question rath- er than to the galleries. He read from the minority report and criticised that feature which declared that the foreigner paid the tax. In particular the speaker addressed himself to the ex-speaker, although the latter was still kept in the cloakroom by the congratulatory handshakes. Mr. Crisp was greeted with applause at the statement that the 30 years of protec- tion were a period of unrest, during which the masses of the people had constantly re- belled against the heavy burdens of taxa- tion. The people had always been stilled at the polls by the Republican promises to re- duce the tariff, but once successful at the polls the Republican legislators had sur- rendered themselves body and soul to the manufacturing classes. The speaker declared that the gentle- man (Mr. Reed) had throughout his Speech refrained from the arguments of reason and had resorted to those of prejudice. He pointed to the Chinese as an example of what had resulted from a. protective policy of hundreds of years which had thought to make China rich by trading with itself. After the applause which greeted Mr. Crisp had died away, Mr. Wilson spoke. Mr. Wilson said Mr. Reed had forsaken his usual course of congressional proced- ure and had recited a set oration, with the old set praises of protection “sicklied o’er with the pale hue of philosophy.” Turning,r to the subject in hand, Mr. \Vil-- son eloquently portrayed the advance of freedom. This bill was but one of those advances. No McKinley bill could stem the advance of human progreps. Mr. \Vil- son said great causes could not be laughed or ridiculed away and the gentleman from Maine could not draw from his memory of sarcasm and wit in order to stop the ad- vance of this cause of lightening the bur— dens of taxation. Mr. \Vilson's speech was loudly cheered. l The great tariff debate was ended. the ' .1, v \Vhen Mr. W'ilsbn closed there came a remarkable scene. Representatives Tucker, McMillin and Bryan and several others sprang forward and lifted Mr. Wilson from his feet to their shoulders. He was borne up the aisle above the heads of his enthusiastic associates. After this demonstration Mr. \Vilson was allowed to return to his seat, where the aisle was choked with members who sought to shake his hand. It was a dem- onstration seldom exceeded in congress in enthusiasm and dramatic climax. In the Senate. The'galleries of the senate were crowded today, but the throng of visitors was prob-' ably the overflow from those attracted by the great tarifi debate in the house. . . Senator Hill (N. Y.) presented resolu« tions of the New York legislature con- gratulating the president on his abandon- ment of his Hawaiian policy and protest- ing against the Wilson tariff bill. A resolution was presented by Senator Allen (Pop, Neb.) directing the secretary of the treasury to inform the senate what amount of paper money issued by the gov- ernment has been redeemed since 1875 and how much of it, if any, has been reissued; also what authority of law exists for the gold reserve and when it was established and why it is now maintained. Senator Gorman objected to the request for the immediate consideration of the res olution, and it went over. Senator Peffer (Kan) presented a resolu- tion directing the secretary of the treasury to inform the senate how many offers of bond purchases have been presented, giv- ing the names and places of business of the persons, firms or corporations, and for what amounts and in what sums respec- tively the bonds have been sold. A wrangle took place over the bond res- olution of Senator Stewart, those favoring the resolution insisting that it had gone over yesterday with the understanding that it should come up this morning, and others maintaining that there had been no such understanding, and that the resolu- tion having gone to the calendar must come up in its regular order. A reading of the record sustained the declaration that the resolution had gone to the calcu— dar, but it was finally permitted to be tak- en up by unanimous consent. Senator Sherman read a letter in which ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster denies that in January last he had ordered the preparation of plates for the issuing of bonds generally. He had, hOWever, after the 3 per cent bond bill passed the senate at that time, caused plates to be issued for these bonds, but for none others. Inter« rupting at this juncture, Senator Vest se- cured unanimous conseut that the bill for site and erection of a new government printing office should be made a special order for next Wednesday and be consid- ered until disposed of. Senator Stewart (Nev.) then took the floor 'on the bond resolution. Senator Stewart concluded at 1:40, and was followed by Senator Dolph, who took the position that the question raised by the resolution was purely a question of law, and that the secretary of the treasury has gowdthe power under existing law to sell on 3.

Westminster Gazette Considers It "Sum- clent and Emphatic" —Private Com- munications From Biatritz-An Irish Paper Indignant. LOXDON, Feb. 2.-—The Pall Mall Gazette. which yesterday announced that Mr. Glad— stone intends to resign, today publishes a qualified reassertion of its statement. It says that it was prepared for contradiction by the press and government officials, but was not prepared for the virtual confirma~ tion of the story by Mr. Gladstone himself. It knew that Mr. Gladstone’s intentions had been conveyed to few, if any, of his colleagues, and says that whatever change publicity may effect it is now certain that Mr. Gladstone’s tenure of office will be limited to months, if not weeks. Private. Information Received. Hon. G. W. ' Spencer Lyttleton, Mr. Gladstone’s private secretary, received a cipher dispatch from the prime minister from Biarritz at 5:45 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The contents were commu- nicated to Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty, and Right Hon. Herbert As- quith, the home secretary, both of whom refused to divulge their information to re- porters. The “W. =‘).lllStel‘ Gazette says: “In read- ing Mr. (. .dstone’s statement, sent out from Bia: . it; through Sir Algernon West, it must be remembered that it is Mr. Gladstone’s invariable habit to answer with scrupulous exactness each state- ment, and to never make a general denial. Those familiar with Gladstone remark Mr. Gladstone’s present unqualified em- is‘n: sis.” Mr. Gladstone’s Own Words. The statement of the prime minister re- ferred to was sent out through Sir Alger- non )Vest andis as follows: “The statement that Mr. Gladstone has definitely decided, or decided at all, to re- sign is untrue. It is true, however, that for many months past his age and the con- dition of his sight and hearing have, in his judgment, made relief from public affairs desirable. “Therefore his tenure of office has been at any moment liable to interruption from these causes, Which are in their nature permanent. It remains exactly as it has been. He is ignorant of the course which events important to the nation may take even during the remainder of the present session of parliament, and he has not said or done anything which could in any de- grees restrain his absolute freedom or that of his colleagues, regarding the perform- ance of the arduous duties now lying or likely to lie before them.” “C: no], Cowardly Canard.” DUBLIN, Feb. 2.—The Freeman’s Journal says: “The cruel, cowardly canard did not need contradiction. It is lawful to hope and believe that Mr. Gladstone will be spared in the full vigor of his genius until the not distant day when he will see the greatest work of his great career effected.” Fell From the Train. FREEPORT, 1115., Feb. 2.—At the village of Kent men found a man near the rail- road track. He was carried to the village, revived enough to speak and then died from the effects of exposure. He gave the name of Archibald Gilbers, and on his body was found a ticket from San Fran- cisco to New York and a steamer ticket for Scotland, also $500 in money. It is believed that he fell off the train. Fatal Coasting Accident.

Railroad Property Said to Be Imperlled by an Old Deed. CLEVELAND, Feb. 1.—-The Western Re- serve Historical society is in possession of a certified copy of the original deed of the entire western reserve, the existence of which has been denied, made in the year 1800, copied by Julius Lembeck, an 804 countant, who says the original is in the Connecticut statehouse. The deed is from President John Adams to the state of Connecticut for the benefit of the Connecticut- Land company. Its northern boundary is the center of 'Lake Erie. Mr. Lembecl; claims that the land un- der the lake is therefore still the property of the heirs of the Connecticut Land com- pany. If that be so, the Lake Shore and Cleve- land and Pittsburg roads do not own the land they have made in the lake, nor will the city own the land it means to make at tErie street. ’ Fifteen Flor-ins a.
