x , D. C. , March 10. The tariff
Discussion was resumed In the house this
warning , but there was a striking contrast
between the pacillc Incidents of today nnd
, lhu scones which characterized the debates
'ijtf ' the McIClnloy bill , two years ago. Then
was obvious that whatever jneasuro
1 should pass iho house would Lo concurred In
wilhout very material chance by tlio senalo
.nnd boonaclcd Into law by Iho signntura of
the president , nnd therefore every siicces-
, ivo stun In liio formality of legislation was
jjftblltorly con tested by the democrats. This
"year the republicans , who nro now In the
minority In the bouso , are confronted with
no such probabilities. That the Springer
wool bill , and indeed nil other measures that
may bo reporlod by Ibe ways and means
committee will pass the house , they qu lo
willingly concede , but that in that event the
measures will receive the sanction of the
lenalo they do not consider ns at all prob-
fc 'able. Hcnco It is that Iho improbability of
Iho tariff bills over becoming Iho law of Iho
und naturally detracts from the deep In
terest that would otherwise bomanlfcstud by
the house In thcso economic measures nnd
makes their consideration a somewhat per
functory proceeding.
Domocriitlc Tariff 1'ollcy Outlined.
Representative Ulngloy of Mnino today
concluded his speech , begun yesterday , in
opposition lo the Springer bill , and in tbo
wide scope which tlio discussion has natur
ally assumed , found occasion to deny by
an array of facts and figures that the pro
tectlon policy of Iho republican part > was ro-
sponslblo for driving American shipping
from the high seas.
Representative Turner of Georgia , a mem
ber of the ways and means commitleo , was
the chief democratic speaker of the day , und
in his opening remarks ho blasted whatever
hopes there may have boon that dissensions
would appear in the democratic ranks as to
the Springer policy of separate bills by
stating that while he had favored Iho general
bill , bo had deferred to men for whoao judg
ment ho" had the deopo.t respect und would
urge with all his eftorls and ability the bills
now pending before the houso. This dclicato
compliment to Chairman Springer and his
co.'lcaguos from ouo who. lu the past was a
, warm advocate of iho Mills bill , was fully
iftpprcciuted by the democratic side and the
Vipplimont applauded.
Mr. IHnjluy Concludes UN Speech.
During the morning hour the house , on
mellon of Mr. Wnllo of Ohio , passed u joint
resolution authorizing the loan ot ensigns ,
flags , etc. . for Iho purnoso of decorating iho
streets of VVashiuglon on tlio occasion of iho
Grand Army encampment. Immodliloly
thoroaftorthti house .resolved itself into the
committee of the whole on the free wool bill
and Mr. Dinsloy of Maine resumed his argu
ment against the measure.
In opening ho denied the statement made
by the gentleman from Tennessee ( Mr. Mc-
Mlllln ) that Ibo last con cross had appropri
ated 51,000,000,000. During Iho lust two llscal
years appropriated for by that congress tbo
expenditures of the government wore but
$700,000,000. Concluding , Mr. Ulngloy urged
the rreuilcmiin to boar In mind the fact lhat
this country , under Iho policy of protection ,
had become iho most prosperous country on
tno luco of the earth. Let congress bo true
to that policy which had carried the nation
to such a height of prosperity. [ Applause. I
Al - . Turner Fiuors the Wool Hill.
Mr. Turner of Georgia , Iho next speaker ,
said tint hejvould have boon glad lo have
pending u bin which would swoop iho whclo
horizon und give lo every citizen lhat com
pensation which n fair und just reform of the
tariff would give to ovcry consumer in the
"conntr . His judgment in this respect had
been overruled by tboso to whoso opinions be
doforr.d with great respect and ft was duo
to Ihes j Konllomcn that ho shovld say that
ho slncjrely believed lhal Ihcir policy would
ennbio the majority of the house lo secure
for Uio people some slight relief from the
burden ot taxation. [ Applause.J
Mr. L'urner then turned bis attention to n
rrltlciiin of Speaker Uood's rulings in the
lust i engross , denying that the recent deci
sion nf the HUpremo court had vmdioilod
these rulings , and when Mr. Wulkor of Mas
sachusetts rose to defend the ex-speaker
catechised iho gcnll'imuu who was willing lo
reply , lo Iho manifest annoyance of Mr. Heed
who occupied a scat some distance from Mr.
Turner. Mr. Ueed intimated lo Mr. Walker
that ho would reply lo Iho criticisms at the
proper time and suggested that ho bo per
mitted to do so.
Kx-Speiiloir Heed Defend * Illmnelf.
Mr. Reed , rising to reply to the r.rilicism
made upon him nnd his rulings In the last
coimrnss , expressed thu opinion lhat his
notion at that tlmo bad bcon thoroughly
vindicated by Iho decision ot Iho supreme
court. The question woo wholbor ho had
violated Ills duly in counting momrur * pres
ent who wcro in the chamber. Never boforj
the decision had any admission boon made
f lhat It was a present quorum and not an net-
Jng quorum that was demanded by the con-
slilullon.
Mr. Turner replied that tbo gentleman
from Maine hud occupied both sides of Iho
quoslion nnd had bcon defeated on both
sides. | IiinocralIi ( laughter , ]
Mr. Rcod replied thai ho hud been correct
and consistent.
Mr. Turner said that ho had always had
the greatest respect for the gentleman from
Maine. He bad diffcicd from the gentleman
in his administration nf his chair , but in
crlildilng his administration ho had no In-
Icntion of offending the gentleman.
Mr , Rccd had no doubt In regard to the
good will existing between iho gentleman
nud himself. Continuing , Mr. Rccd nrtiueil
that unijer tbo constitution a present iiuorure
was sufllclcnt for the transaction of business.
The gentleman from Georgia had seen lit tc

D. C. , March 10. General
Foster of the State department , who was
assisting the president in the Boring
son llshcrlcs negotiations , had n long
conference at the Navy department
this afternoon with Seciotary Tracy
nnd Commodore Ramsey , chief of the
bureau of navigation. The conference , It is
thought , related to the consideration of the
course to bo pursued by the navy In enforc
ing the contention of this government that
pelagic Bcalinc In Bering sea should bb
wholly suspended pending the settlement by
arbitration of the controversy between
the United Stales and Great Britain.
If Great Britain declines the presi
dent's proposition for a renewal ot the
modus Vivendi this government , no doubt
will send the available vessels at its command
to Boring sea soon enough , If possible , to
control its approaches and prevent the on-
irnnco of all scaling vessels , American as
wall as others. The naval vessels that can
bo used for this service are the Charleston ,
Baltimore nnd Ranger at ban Francisco , the
Mohican , now on her way to Port Orchard ,
Wash. , with the Nlpsio In tow , nnd the
Yorktown nnd Boston , now nt San Francisco.
Tbo revenue cutters Boar. Rush and Corwin ,
now lilting out nt San Francisco for their

Aui'lculturnl Department Statistics.
WABIIINOTOX , D. C. , March 10. The March
report of the distribution of wheat nnd corn
by the statistician of the Deparlmant of agri
culture makes the stock of wheat in growers'
bands 171,000,000 busbols or 2S per cent of
crop , 03,000,000 of spring wheat and 108,000-
000 bushels of winter wheat , much of the
latlor In states which have practically no
commercial distribution , but entering into
the local consumption of oread and seed.
This Is the largest reserve over reported ,
that of the largest previous crop ( of ISSII )
being 1G'.I,000.000 ' bushels.
The exports from July 10 to March 1 were
lftt.000,000 bushels , the fall seed 10,000,000 ,
the consumption apparently 200,000,000 , but n
larger proportion is taken for consumption In
the fall and winter and the actual consump
tion Is greater in the spring and summer.
Consumption ofVlient. .
The assumed consumption from March 1 ,
IS'Jl , to March 1. 18'JJ , is 300.000,000 bushels
fora population of Ol.llOO.OOO , the exports
200,000,000 , the seed iiU.OOO.OOO , a distribution
of { HW.COJ.OOO bushels. With 41,000,000 visible -
iblo and 171,003,000 invisible stocks tbcro are
27,000,000 not directly accounted for pre
viously , which came in the unprecedented
squeezing of all sorts of reserves , mainly
from the always uncounted stocks of Hour
between mill and mouth and ftoin still un
counted stocks between the farmers and
granaries and the visible supply.
The average weight ot wheat is 58.50
pounds per measured bushel , which is the
estimated weight of the crop ot 1SS7 and is
nine-tenths of n pound above tbo average of
night previous years.
jL'orn lu
The estimated quantity of corn in farmers'
hands Is 800,000,000 bushels or 41.8 per cent
of tbo crop. This is the largest proportion
over reported , that of 18S9 oxcopted. which
was -15.0 per ecu I or 070,000,000 bushels. The
seven principal states have a surplus of 540-
000,000 bushels or 41.5 per cent of their
product acainst 007,000,000 from the great
crop of ISS'J. The proporlion morchuniablo
Is the larcest over reported , 88.5 , against 85 7
two years ago. The average of eight previ
ous crops is 8'J per cent , and the lowest av
erage 00 , for the froslod crop of 1SS3. Tbo

Cruel Treatment of n Number of Poor Irish
Pm > plnl y M Kl trutcs.
LONDON , March 10. A story bos reached
tjoro that has caucod many'expressions of
deap indignation by the English papers. To
the westward of County' Mayor there lies ,
in the Atlantic , Clare iBluud. The inhabit
ants nro mostly nshermon and nro miserably
poor. A number of thorn ran into debt nnd
creditors took legal steps against thorn and
sent bailiffs to seize tl-o little owned by thorn.
The islanders resisted the bailffs , and as a
result eighty of them were summoned to
answer nt Louisburgh , the nearest town on
the mainland , for resisting oplcors of the
law. The islanders obeyed.the summons.
They all appeared to be in a 'starving and
destitute condition. Tlio magistrate listened
to the tobllmony of the balliffp.'thon ordered
that the further hearing 6f the.coso bo bold
next day in Wostport , eighte < jn miles dis-
inul. j
The islanders had no monjey to pay for
convoyancfs and were compelled to wnlK the
entire distance. That night a .blinding snow
storm sot in. Many of thd poorly clad
islanders , weakened by ttujirjqng tkbstlneueo
from nourishing food fell by the roadside
unabjo lo proceed nnd would nti7o perished
had It not boon for the kind hearted villagers
along the route who gavethon , ) shelter and
supplied thorn with food. Of'lhc women of
lha party not a single o'ao had strength
enough lo drag her weary llmtjs to Westport.
The men who roachod'thq town , nt oneo pro
ceeded to the courthou'Soand / presented
themselves bolero tbo magistrates. Many of
Iho islanders were almost completely ex
hausted by their long nnd toilsome journey
