An Important dis cussion took place In the House of Commons te-'ay during the consideration of the for eign otllco cfctlmatcs John Morley , In the absence of the liberal leader. Sir William Vcrnoti Hair-Glut , criticised at length and with great vigor the action of the powers In the Giaeco-Cietan affair and Invoked the Kovoinment to take the country Into lie conlidciipo by a clear definition of Its policy. Hu said that autonomy was a mere phrase , because the porto reserved the power to dls- CUHS Its form and Its detail. It had been admitted by Lord Salisbury that the eventual outcome will probably bo the annexitlon of Cicto to Qteccc , yet. In splto of this an nouncement , Gicat Britain assisted the powers In the blockade. In this way Great Britain wro made to pursue a policy op- po&cd to the real convictions ot the govern ment , and agiluat the sympathy and the convlcllo.iB of the English people. How could ' autonomy , ho asked , bo worked out with out the co-oporatlon of the Cretans ? Who was to bo thp governor of the Island ? Not a Turk , surely. That would bo too great n scandal. If the gove-rnor was to be a Gicek , then why not have annexation nt once , without making two bites of the cherry. Mr. Balfour , replying , said that the powc-is. had taken the scheme of autonomy l.i hand and would not be bound by the \olca of any but themselves. Ho hold Mr Morley ought not to have made such a speech and that Paillament ought not to continue thediscussion. . The Cretan ques tion was only a fragment of the policy of the jicat powers In eastern Europe. "We have already had , " he continued , "three Inconclusive discussions ; don't let us have u fourth ; let us have the matter out In the proper way. If the opposition considers that the policy of the government Is opposed to the wishes of the country the proper course U to move a vote of censure. Until that Is done , \ vibhall certainly oppose nil en- dpavais to hamper the action of the govern ment Lftt the opposition screw Its courage up to that point , or abandon the practice of nightly criticising small portions of our Mr. 'Laboucl.ero moved a reduction of the Kolaiv of the secietary of stale for foreign " * hir lrs Sir Charles Dllko and others hav ing spoken , Mr. Dalfour moved the closure , which was carried by 130 to 48.

CONSTANTINOPLE , March 28 The mem bers of the diplomatic corps here now greatly apprehend serious complications In Mace donia , which will Jeopardize the peace of Kuropo. Although recognizing that the chief danger lies In that direction , the pro- pcaal ot Great Britain to re-establish a neutral zone on the Greek frontier Is re garded as Inefficient and Impracticable.

There was no country , he continued , rhero such plots were held In greater abhorrence than In the United State ? .

'AMEND ' THE TARIFF BILL Democrats Improve Their Opportunity to Doctor the Measure. ACTION CALLS FORTH LIVELY DEBVTE ItciitilillcntiN lliivc So Dllllcully In OutintliiK Their Polltleiil Uiio iipnlK SulmtltiitoN nnil Anirml- iiirtitH n IMcnt ) Arc Offered. WASHINGTON , March 26. The real con slderatlon of the tariff bill began tills morn Ing at 10 o'clock , when the bill was thrown open for amendment under the five-minute rule. The leaders on both sides were In their places , but there were hardly moro than seventy members on the floor. Mr. Lanham democrat ot Texas , as aoon as the enacting clause of the bill was read , moved to strike It out. Mr. Sherman-republican of New York , who was In the chair , ruled that the motion was out ot order. Mr. Dockery , demo , crat of Missouri , offered the first amend ment. It was the enacting clause and was In the nature of a proviso that whenever It was shown to the satisfaction of the prcsl dent that thjro was a trust or combination to control the price of nuy article on the dutiable list the duty on ouch article shoutt' bo suspended. Mr. Dlngley made the point of order tint the amendment In effect waste to the free list and as the iiouse > was no\v \ considering the dutiable list It was not li order. "I have great roapcct for the parliamentary knowledge of t'ao gentlcmin from Maine. ' said Mr. Dockery , "but as It Is probable thai the free Hat will never be reached I hope It will be held In order now. " ( LaugUcr ) . Mr. Cocker offered a substitute for the Dockery amendment , In substance to accom plish the same purpose , but containing a definition of a trust and provision for the determination ot Its existence by a court. CASD OP DUATIIHUD UHPENTANCn. "If joit arc so anxious to Incorporate such a provision as this In the bill , why did you not Insert It In the present law ? " asked Mr Tawney , republican ot Minnesota. "Trusts had not gone quite BO far then , " replied Mr. Itichardson , democrat of Ten nessee , amid laughter He challenged the other side , who ostensibly opposed trusts , to aid In the adoption of the amendment. " 1 have never before , " said ha , "heard such In sincere objections to a Just amendment. " A long debate on the point of order fol lowed. Mr. Bailey made an extended argu ment appealing to the majority to aid in putting down these combinations "which 511 eyed upon the energies of the people. " Mi. Hepburn , republican of Iowa , raised a laugh on the democratic side by sajlng that this provision , If adopted , would defeat the purpose of the bill. "Don't laugh , " he shouted , waving his hand. He went on to explain how easy It would be for a few men who really desired free vvoal and free sugar to effect a combination to raise lb prices of wool and sugar , and thus , under the agree ment , force those articles to the free Hat. Mr. Bailey thanked Mr. Hepburn for his frank admission that the destruction ol trusts would Interfere with the purpose of the bill. "Oh , no , " said Mr. Hepburn , "I was trying tti show- that under the pretense of creating n trust this legislation could Le destroyed. " "But could not the courts decide between a eham trust and a real trust ? " asked Mr. Terry , demociat of Arkansas. AT TUB MCRCV OP CRIMINALS. "I suppose the courts could , " replied Mr. Hepburn. "Uut shall the revenues of the country be dcstro > ed because of the existence In violation of law of a real truit ? Tiusta aio Illegal. Their creators are criminals. Shall wo place the treasury's revenues at the mercy of criminals ? " Mr. Simpson , populist of Kansas , said he thought the majority were very much moro concerned about the falling oft of the revenues of trusts than the falling off of the revenues of the treasury. ( Democratic applause ) Mr. Grosvenor , republican of Ohio , de clared there wus never a time when the trusts had the government and the peopl * by the tin oat as they had In the last four years , and now , when the democrats were again In the minority , they came here and raised a great nolso about trusts. He said the waya and means commltteo had already been aicalled because it refused to accede to the demand of the Sugar trust for an ad valorem duty on t > ugai. "The gentleman Eaja the democracy has been the protcctoi of trusts , " Interrupted Mr. Terry , democrat of Arkansas ; "can ho name a trrst In the last campaign which was not on the slde > of McKInley ? " "I can. " "Namo them , name them ! " shouted the democrats. "The trust , " lepllcd Mr. Grosvenor , "which controls a monopoly of what God gave the Silver trust" The republlcana cheered this response , while the opposition groaned. There was some further sharp cross-tiring , which roused both sides to enthusiasm. Mr. Navvlan'ls , Nevada , declared that most of the trusts created In the past ten years had been for protection against falling prices ; even labor was organising trusts for the purpose - pose and the cotton planters were organizing to limit production In a vain attempt to re sist declining prices. Mr. Bland declared that many state legis latures met last winter , but did not seek to lay the heavy hand of the law on these gigantic corporations. CHI3AI1 POLITICAL CAPITAL. Mr. Tawney declaied the opposition was attempting to make same cheap political capital out of these alleged assaults on tiu&ts. The republican party was the only paity that had ever enacted anti-trust legislation In congress Ho create 1 much amusement by reading a list of the prominent democrats In the pieecnt hotiso who voted against the consideration ot tl < ? anti-trust law passed by the Fifty-first congress. "Nome a single conviction under that law , " asked Mr , Richardson. "Why , " icplled Mr. Tawney , "only last Monday the supreme court decided that the Railroad trust of the country violated that law ( Republican applause ) . Mr. Richard- eon , Mr. Tawney said , lalsed the question of contlJeratlon against the antl-tiust bill , In reply the Tennesscean produced the recoid to show that ho raised the question In the Interest of the silver bill , The repub licans jeered this statement. Mr. Tawney said that was exactly the method pursued by the frco silver senators at the last session to defeat the Dlngley bill , Mr. Bland and Mr. Mc.MlllIn insisted that ho democratic position was misstated and he latter Inquired why had not Mr. Tawney ind the courage to read the vote on the final pateage of the bill. LIVELY PASSAGK-AT-ARMS. Mr. Hcndcifcon , republican of Iowa , and Mr. Bland engaged In a lively passage-al arms , In which some temper was dlspla > eden on both sides. Mr. Dlngley , In closing the lebulo ( in the point ot order , contended that thci iimcndim-nt was not germane to tbo mragrapliE tn which It was offered and shauU bc ruled out In the Interest of orderly pro- redurn. The amendment , ho said , would bo n order when the free list was reached , 'When the time arrives to deal with trusts , " 10 said , "rest assured that we will meet the incstlon. We understand that the purpose of the other side Is to destroy the revenue sought to be raised by this bill , " Mr. Sherman of New York made an elaborate ruling , In which tbo house dls- ilaycd great Interest , holding that tbo amendment was not In order. Mr , Dockery Immediately entered an ap peal from the decision of the chair. As a way out ot the difficulty , pending the ap peal , Mr. Richardson asked unanimous conj j bent that th' amendment bo admitted , " Mr. Dlngley Insisted that the appeal should Irst bo disposed of and the chair bold that Mr. Dlngloy's demand was equivalent to an objection. "Then the gentleman from Maine objects ? " uculred Richardson. Xliw democrats Buillf4 la ae at this attempt to get the1 leader of the majority on record. The vote onilho appea was taken find the chair was Sustained by a strict party vote , IBS td 149. The com bined opposition voted aqnlnsl suitalnlng the chair. Similar amendment * ' "against the trusts were offered by Mr. 'Mean * , democrat of Arkansas , and Mr. Cooper , democrat of Texas , but ruled out of order- Mr. Robinson , democrat ot Indiana , of fered ono to put goods on the free list when the prices in this country were the prices charged abroad , plus the duty and 2 per ccnl for transportation ; Mr. Smith , democrat ol Arizona , one providing that the customs duties be paid In silver bullion. 41214 grains to be equivalent to } 1 ; Mr. Wheeler , demo crat of Alabama , ono directed against oil , railroad and other trusts ; Mi , McMlllIn , for the payment of customs In bimetallic cer tificates , hut all failed by the ? amo ruling , A committee amendment fixing the duty on boraclc acid at 4 cents n round was agreed to. The democrats offered various amendments as the reading of the bill pro ceeded , but all were rejected. Commltteo amendments offered , however , were In each Instance agreed to. , The duty on carbonate of ammonia wit Increased from I'/j cents to 1 > 4 cents p r * pound. The duty on crude tartar , wlno IreSj etc. , test ing less than 40 per cent of .bltartratc of potash , was fixed at 1 cent ; over 40 per cent Hi cents. ThD rates on Rochclto salts con taining 90 per cent of bltartirito was fixed at 5 cents per pound , Mr. McMlllIn criticised therfncrcased rate on celluloid articles , saying that If the re publicans were to decrease Importations that incjnt decreased revenue. , , ' "Tho purpose of this bill ! iinot In every Instance to Increase the revenue./ ' said Mr. KuGsell , republican of ConuecUcut ; "some times It Is to keep Amcrlcda Iaborers al work" ( Republican applause , ) ' ' . - I'requcntly the dlscusslorttf'drlftcd Into political questions. Appropriations , the money question and general p rty policy fur nished topics for ample arguments. The Paragraph relating to sulphuric anil nltroiM ether was amended in as to make the rate from 25 to 40 cents , fli provided by the present law. , . MORE REPARTEE. Mr. Bromwell , republican of Pennsylvania , and Mr. Giosvenor , republicanof Ohio , got Into a controversy over the protection ac corded In the bill to soap. H was listened to with considerable Interest and , when It closed Mr. Clark of Missouri rnado.It . the text for a characteristic speech : "You pall us the unwashed democracy , " ho proceeded , "give us free soap.

Senator Gray , a member of the com mltteo on foreign iclatlons , held the floor during the two hours that the question v < as under consideration , but ho yielded to tiu- merouti Interruption ! , , some of which amounted to Independent speeches. Mr. Gi defended the treaty as one which would rePcct credit upon Itb authois end upon ths two nations which It was Intended to bind toRcther. Senator Ihurston took occasion during the afternoon to explain his position , \\hlch was that there should bo a declaration BO ex plicit on the chaiacter of disputes to be set tled under the treaty as to leave no room for misunderstanding on this point In the future. - Ho said It should be made entirely clear that all questions of American policy , whether foreign or domestic , were to bo 10 bcrved from the operations Or the treaty and ho would vote for the amendment that would bring out this fact In the clearest language. The afternoon developed quite a profound tendency In the direction of an amendment timllar to the first amendment originally reported by the foreign rotations committee , excepting all questions of policy , and It was suggested by Bomo that there- should be a re turn to the original position of Lord Salis bury , favoring the arbitration only of pe cuniary claims , leaving out all questions of policy and tcnltorlal rights. > er\H fur ( lie Army.

TALK ovuu CMUMACV WITH unn Committee of InillniiniioHx Convention CnllH 011 ( he Spender. WASHINGTON , March 28. The members ot the committee on legislation , which was appointed by the Indianapolis monetary con vention ot last summer , called on Speaker Reed today and" talked with him concerning legislation for currency and banking reform The spokesmen ot the delegation were George Foster Pcabody of New York , John P. Irish of San Franclaco and H. H. Ilanna of Indian apolis. They spoke of the desirability of the patsago nf a bill authorizing the presi dent to appoint a commission to Investigate the banking and currency system of the country and to recommend changes. If any bill embodying a system which wao accepta ble to the business Interests of the country could bo paroed they would endorse such legislation without the creation of any commission. The need of changes In the present banking system , which would Insure a moro plentiful and elastic supply of circulation for fanning districts remote from the cities , was the principal point that they urged In support of their movement. Mr. Reel told the commit tee that the passage of the tariff bill was the first and principal work cut out for this cession of congress. Congress moved faster than the people In matters of legislation , he said , and when public sentiment became crystallized In favor of any particular foim of flna-iclal legislation congress would be apt to respond with little delay If the people demanded changes In the banking sys tern and brought pressure to bear on con gress they would secure the changes. The conference was Informal and pleasant , but had no definite results. Tim CAVAMIV 1)1111L. 1'rcNiiU'iit ami Ciililnel TiiKc a Trip to Korl M } i > r. WASHINGTON , March 2C.

Following Mr. Schrelucr , Dr. Jameson , leader ot the British mllltarj forces , told the story of his movements which has frequently been rehearsed In print He sought to Justify his actions by pointIng - Ing out the critical condition of the Ult- landers In the Transvaal prior to the raid. Dr. Jameson exculpated Rhodes from the responsibility of having ordeicd the final move of the troops acrots the holder , cay- ing ho had managed the step on his own accord. Jameson's statement continued : In the middle of 1SS1 Mr. Ilhodc-j nnd John Hnyc-j Hammond , the American englncfr , vveie with me In Mutnbcleliind , when the position of the TrniiHvnul nnd the gilcv- : iiiets of the Ulthimlera vverf fnely dis cussed.

Later .ho leaders concludid that there WIIH no : iopo of success without the help of an armed force , and they decided that the only way to obtain reforms was to change the ndmlnlHtiatlon of the Tinnsvnnl , anil that ihe safest mode of effecting thin would be to Jiuve n HUtllclont force nt JohnniicxburK to Induce I'rcHiilcnt Kruirer to have u plebis cite of the whole population , to decide who was to bo piosldtnt.

Dr Jameson , It appears , afterwards told Mr Rhodes of hU arrangements and the alter agreed to them , The statement then leals with preparations to force the fron- ler , between Dr. Jameson and tbo leaders at Johannesburg , the latter never Intimating any Intention of an appeal to arms , The statement next refers to the report of the grave situation in the mints and adds : Under my arrangement ! ) with the Johan- icaburKciH I felt I had no alternate but to iroceed , and I Htarted the same day. No Communication whatever wua received from Rhodes or from any one at Capetown di recting or authorizing my force to inovt o Johannesburg. I acted entirely on my own judgment , Major Ileuny did not brlnir mo u message from Rhodes. The committee put a few questions to Dr. amcson. Replying to Sir Henry Campbell lanncrman , liberal , Dr , Jameson said ho ( new he had not done the right thing , be cause ho had not succeeded , adding that If te had succeeded ho knew he would have iecn forgiven.
