on account of the condition of his health.
The senate joint resolution to permit
Colonel Corbln of the United States nrmy to
accept n civil position In the world's ' Colum
bian commission was reported ami passed.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr.
lllalr , instructing the committee on rules to
report within three days a rule for the in
corporation of the previous question or of
some method for limiting ami closing debate
in Unparliamentary proceeduro of the senate ,
was taken up. After some debute upon it It
was referred to thu committee on rules.
The tariff bill was then taken up , the
question being upon Mr , Vest's ' amendment
to reduce the duty on decorated china to CO
per cent nd valorem and on plain white tin-
decorated chiiin.to per cent instead of 00
mid M per cent in tlio house bill , and of B5
nnd 50 per cent as proposed bv the Uminco
committee.
In the discussion which followed Mr. Alli
son entered and declared his understanding
of the intention of the ilnnnco commit
tee to bo neither to diminish nor
inercaso the duties on chinnwnro ,
and ho went on to nrguo that
the intent was carried out in the amendments
recommended by that committee. Ho ex
pressed the belief that the pottery industry
'
required n reasonably high duty in' order to
make it successful hi thu United States. IIo
wished to imiko the duties on that nnd nil
other industries so reasonable and Just as to
give the American producer u shade of ad
vantage over the fiirrlgii producer.
Mr. Gorman thanked Mr. Allison for his
franl < statement.
After further discussion of the chinawnro
paragraph Mr , ( Jeorgo tool : the lloor mid
made a long speech , on the general subject of
the tnritt.
Mr. Plntt repelled and denounced an asser
tion made by Mr. George to the effect that
while the duty on steel rails was $11 a ton ,
the labor hi producing it cost only $1.51 , The
fact was that if the production of u ton of
stool cost $11 the Inoor portion of that cost
only 51."if , hardly n tenth of that amount.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas supported Mr.
George's statement about steel rails nnd also
spoke on Chiimwaru matters , apropos of
which he read from papers a report from
Findlay , 0. , as to the purchase by an Eng
lish syndicate of various glnsswnto factories ,
and said the effect on tariff legislation was to
cucouracu such trusts and syndicates.
Mr. Ucagiin warned tlio senators that the
farmers * alliance and workingiueu's associa
tions were not to be Ignored.
A conference was ordered on the sundry

At 5 o'clock Mr. Aldrich , intending to

on the pending question bo taken Monday
without further discussion.
"T.iko a vote now , wo nro readv ; wo arc
