WisnisoTON- . C. , March 17.-SU Pa'-
nck'g day brought to Washington the storm
which pcoplo In this vicinity have como to
associate with Iho day nnd ns It snowed
most of the afternoon , the number of \ Ultors
ti thu capltol was augmented by n consider
able addition to those who usually Idle about
the streets , so that the tariff debaters had n
largo gallery audience up to adjournment.
The debate threshed over Old straw und was
on the whole unlntcrnjttng. Members as u
rule toolt little notice ot the speeches and
spent most of the lima In convcisatioi. .
It Is getting to bo qtilto the thing to fur
nish illustrations and Mr. flov.cis of Ct.II-
f ot nla today rather excelled the producers
of watches and clothes by bringing In and
) aj Ing before the house a lifty pound block
of tin made In California for tbo purpose , bv
ocular demonstration , of addini : louo to tba
Btatcmcnt of Representative Payne of Now
York that the United St-xtes would bo able
before , long to supply the domestic demand
for tlnwnro. Pavno of Now York , Ilaxnorof
Mnrjlaudand Ellis of Kentucky were the
Epeokcis of the day. Tha formci's ' speech
began to lose Interest when Mr. Hartor of
Ohio gave /ost to the Oobato by queries , endIng -
Ing In nil inquiry fiom Mr. Payne as to
whether or not ho ( Hartor ) had jet heatd
from Senator Hill. This sally piovoKed
lauphtor aim enlivened the picccedlngs.
Iho house , after routlno business , went
Into committee of the whole on the fros wool
bill.
Detruded It < u ( I and llici Turin.
Mr. Payne of New Yorn defended the
McKinley act nnd Speaker Keed In the list
congrc's , Intimitini ; that the po itlemun who
weic denouncing that gentleman as a tj rant
wcio evidently not speaking In good faith ,
after their action In sustaining the ruling of
Speaker Cilsp n few dajs ago relative to the
reading of thu journal.
Proceeding to defend the McKinley net ,
ho e poke of the advantages accruing to the
pcoplo from a protective tariff , and icforred
to the increased production of tin and the
manufactuio of tin plate. In aider to
strengthen Mr. Payne's argument , Mr. How-
crs of California said Ihattotnouow no would
hn\o upon his desk a tin block inado In his
disttlct wuich would weigh Jifl6ix pounds.
Mr. Pnj no And I can prove by 10U men
UDon the other side that it never camu from
California , but fro n Wales [ Laugutcr.J
Mi. Uoweis You do not meau that they
Will prove it , but that they will say It.
| Laughter. ]
'ihon Mr. Howora , taking his hat , loft Ilia
hall , and In a few mimitos returned with bis
block of tin , which ho placcu In triumph
upon his desk und called iho attention of Uio
members to It amid laughter.
Axltril If llo H ill Heard from lllll.
Mr. Hartcrof Ohio then toolc a hand In
the discussion nnd pllod Mr. Pn\no with u
number of questions , of which Mr. Payne
woaiiud , and himself assumed tbo role of In-
teilocutor In inquiring w bother the gentle
man from Ohio had jot rrcolvcd a reply
from Senator Hill. [ Laugbtci.J Senator
Hill did not appear to bo with the gentlormn
on the tariff any moro than ho was with him
on iho silver question. Ho hoped that iho
enntloman fiom Ohio , when ho heard from
Senator lllll on the silver question , would
nlso tell that goutlomnn's views on Iho ques
tion on the tariff. ( .Laughter. )
Mr. Payne was followed by JMr. Uavnor of
Mainland , who spoke again on tuo McKinley
net.
net.Mr.
Mr. Ellis of Kentucky spoke in advocacy of
the pending measure. The basis of the en
tire lailff , ho said , was the woolen schedule ;
nnd It was the tbroiy of Iho dunocralio
house to break thiough this schedule ni.d
trills cause thu cntiro stiuctuio to totter.
This was a progiosslvu measure. The rop\il
nt the duties on raw material was but an
incoiisiileiato part of the benefits to icsult
from the passage of this bill. It proposed
the ab oltito repeal of the compensatory
tlutlea picvldcd lor in the present law , the
most obnoxious and at the same time the
most contrived device of piotectlon. Under
the opnintlon of ttio Inicscnt law , trusts and
trade combinations easily regulated produo
tion , fixed prices and subveitod the course
of honest and fair dealing. The present law
utterly disiogarded the lights of consumers
and added nothing to the iato of wages , Us
whole tcopa nnd purpose boluc to aid private
enterprise at thu expense of iho public.
The committee then rose and tno house
adjourned. _

WASHING rev , D. C. , March 17. The sug

the loaders of the iwo extremes of the silver
question , should bo brought tocotlier and al
lowed to dlsciibs the inat'cr to a finish , has
taken a piactical foim , organisations in both
P.nladclphla and New Yoilc having piopojct !
n Joint debate between the two gei.tlemon on
the silver qtiebtion. Several dajs ago n rep
losontntlvo ol ono of the loramercial organ- !
rations of Philadelphia said to Messrs. lilniu'
mm Huitor that they proposed having u Joint
debate , with the silver question as the toplo ,
nnd nsked them if they would consent to

Blur.J's ' health has been vary pcor for some
tiii.o , keeping him away from the house , unc
wlulo agreeing with tlio suggeitlon for u
Joint debate , ho asked to bo pcisonnlly ex-

of Nevada as a member well quallllod to pro-
Bent iho views of the free colnaco men.
Mr. Hiulor said ho was willing to bo ono

that thoio bo two men on each side. Mr.
Dartlno did not concur In this suggestion.
saying that It would not enable any ouo of
the ( ( abaters to do himself justice. .
Slnco then n labor organization In Now
York has wilttcu hero also , Hiiggostlug the
Joint silver debate and proposing Cooper
Institute us the place. The purpose was to
have the debate take place in advance of ac
tion on the silver bill by the house , but Mr.
Hnrllno sold it would not bo convenient tor
him tole.-uo Washington until uf tor the spe
cial eider of the house for next woolt is dis
posed of. Accordingly It was proposed that
the debate tuko place after uitiou In the
house and prior to action in the sonata on the
lllnnd bill. No conclusion has boon reached ,
but it Is quite nrobablo that a Joint debate *
will bo arranged bctucon the friends and the
opponents of free coinage.

Ttleeram toTnii Urr.J The slate conven
tion today was in the main ono of the
largest , most enthusiastic , haunimlous nnd
representative gatherings of Iowa repub
licans held in sovorai years. Tno speech of
Temporaiy Chairman Cummins was n
scholarly nnd eloquent presentation of the
Issues , and was almost universally pro
nounced the best address of the kind over
made bolero any state convention ever held
In the state. U pat the convention into
right iliapo for good work ntul gained for the
speaker iinmcnsu'popularity , which resulted
In his being selected o > io of the alturnato del
egates nt largo unanimously and with ious-
Ing cheers.
The address of Permanent Clnlrnnn
Slrublo was nn able , extemporaneous efTou ,
and was warmly rccel\cd.
Mentions of the natnas of Dlalno and f lav-
iIson were received with enthusiastic dem
onstration each time , thdugb it was noticea
ble that the president's 1111113 was more
popular. Had thoio boon nn attJimt of the
lilaino forces to Instinct for Ulalno tlioy
would been voted down four to ono. The
convention could easily luvo Instructed for
Harrison , but the admlreri of the president
abstained from so doing.
It was also nottccablo that the anti prohi
bition element of the pirty predominate. ! ,
butwlso counsel prevailed nnd piovonted
the cons'doratlou ' of the ihstio in a coin ontlou
so nearly national in chnraclor.
The only occuiianco lhat marred the hni-
mony of the convention was the manifest
enmity lo Chairman Clnikson of Iho national
committee , wbon his name was pichontcd for
dclogato-at-larno. A delegate demandoJ In
know whether Mr. Clarkson was for Hurri-
son for president. The demand was gieeted
with hisses from all parts of tlio hall and
promptly declared out of order by the chair.
However , the loll call disclosed the bitter
feeling of Mr. ClaiKson's cnomlos and the ic-
sultsbowcu him to receive about BOO less
votes than the othei successful candidate.
'Iho coloied olomcntof the party wasieeog-
ni/ed in Iho solcctlon of n ropicsontatho of
the lace for alternate to delegate at laigo in
the poison of Oeoigo E. Taylor of Matiaska
counly. The convention has done inucli to
cement the party nnd an o'.d-timo republican
victoiy is predicted when iho voles are
coun'cd in November.

delegates me In attendance on the state re
publican convention which met heio this
moining The district conventions , which
mot this morning , took no action on piohibl-
tlon or presidential piofercncos , so thai bolh
matters have boon loft for the state conven
tion to sott'o. '
The state con\ention was called to order
by Senator Mack , chairman of the state con-
tt.il committee , at 11 : . ! 3. Ho announced the
tompoiary chairman as A D. Cummins of
Dos Momcs. J.V. . Thrift of Jasper county
was seliictod as temporary reading olork.
Pcmporaty Chairman Cummins was given
nn enthusiastic reception when ho assumed
the chair , tno whole audlenca Using lo ( is
feet and cl'conng for several minutes. In
the selection of Cummins as a prominent
nnti-pronlbitionlst , the convention made
piominont the fact that both fictions are to
oo united for the national campaign. Cum
mins spoho biilllantlv for upwards of on
hour nnd was grosteu with ficquent np-
plauso.
Ho spoke at length on the Issues before
the party in the state and na
lion. After dismissing the reform party
inauguiated at the bt Louis convention as
not dangerous , the sneaker lafcrred to Soua-
torlllllas "tho bar sinister in democrat
politics , " and declared that for tbo
llrst time in iho nistory of the
United States n great national piity lay
bound Dt the foot of a locul organization. Ho
proceeded lo denounce Tammany hall in un
measured terms. Mr. Cummins then , turn
ing to the Issues of Iho pirlv , dwelt at length
upon protoclion and reciprocity , coupling Iho
lattnr with an ouloglum f"or Secretary
lilnlne. Ho then treated of tbo free
coinage of silver , pointing out the danger of
depreciation , wlucn would result fiom Its
adoption. Next the suppression of iho nocro
vote in the south wa ) touched upon , and the
speaker closed with lofcruiicoto "tho wise ,
the steady , the patriotic" administration of
President Harilson. *
At the conclusion of Chairman Cummins'
spojch the roll call for committees was made ,
and as nnnouncail the anil piohibitionlsts
buvo a majoilty on the committee on icsolu-
lions. Tlio con von tion adjourned till "o'cloci.
During the recess the prohibitionists were
treated to n suiprlso. There arch opponent ,
Tomporaiy Chairman A , U. Cummins , was
shown to be a regular dolccrato in thu con
vention in uplto of iho notion of the Polk
county convention in refusing hin that
honor. The republicans of Scott county , it
appears , held that Cummins belonged to the
whole state , not to ono county , nnd made
him a i ocular member of tbolr delegation.
When the convention reassembled In the af
ternoon S. Strublo of Lsmars was unani
mously made permanent chairman. Ho was
rctoivod with prolonged applause.
Ho said ho had but ono criticism to offer
on the address of the temporary chairman.
Ho had talked of mooting such men as Don
nelly nnd Weaver In Iho Now Jprusnlnm.
This convention , ho thought , was too oitho-
elox to bollovo that these Inllatlonists would
over got to hoavon. Ho said ho believed iho
beginning made m Iowa today would result
In a great victory In November.
rroildent Harrison Complimented.
Ho paid glowing compliments to Harrison's
administration , the mention of which was
loudly applauded. Sneaking of the tariff ho
said.l > The domocrntlu party , having proven
Itself incapable to deal with the gioat issue
of tariff , is now dealing with an item raw
wool. Tour months they have been discuss
ing ono Item , and at that mow lion will they
get through ] The McKinley bill noojs no
aofenso. Its rosuhs low prices and iocl-
pioclty are sufficient. "
"In conclusion , " said Chairman Strublo ,
"I must refer to ono man who made the bill
so pei feet In its provisions. That man was
James U , nialnc. Ho saw moie clearly than
any ono else just what was needed , and uroto
a memorable letter to Senator i'ryo giving
his ideas on reciprocity. To him wo ovxo out
greatest thanks ,
"Po President Harrison , also , w a owe a
great deal for the wise and grand adminis
tration ho has given us. The republicans
have a number of men who , as candidates ,
can succeed In November. Mr. Huirison
himself is foremost among the number and
James G. Dlaina second. The aomocrallo
a\allables are limited to U rover Cleveland
ana David I ) , Hill , This is the cntlio list. "
AVhcro Holes Caiuo In ,

"Doles , " said the speaker , "wai a roan
without an expressed ( on\lotlon upon a na
tional Issue. Tbo country lint wants to hoar
from Doles on the silver niiostion before It
discusses him as a national possibility , "
The speaker was frequently Interrupted by
applauseespecially when roferrlng to Ulaitfo
and Harrison ,
'Poo coinuatlou cUoso tbo four delosatos-at-
largo to the national convention at the con
clusion of Chairman Slrublo'i speech. The
fact soon became apparent that no provision
had been maao to ctll off nominating

disturbed the policy' of the pauv nnd the

accepted a pronounced anti-prohibition 10-

warded him by electing him ns an alternate
delegate at largo. *
All factions wcro represented on the com
nnltco on resolutions , although tbo platform
adopted is conllne d wholly to an cxpiesslon

in the majotity. There is no doubt of this ,
though this Blaine men wcro so gritty that it
was thought best bv the committee on reso
