Wssblnffton, Au& 16.—As soon as the
reading of yesterday’s journal was fin
ked the senate bill for the exclusion
and deportation of alien Anarchists
was. on motion of . Ur. iHlU (Democrat)
of New York taken f om the calendar
for consideration. Mr. Hill stated that
the bill was virtually a report from a
conference committee. The house had
passed a bill to provide for the consular
inspection of immigrants abroad. The
senate had submitted for that bill an
other one. A conference committee has
been appointed- That committee had
finally agreed upon this bill. But the
house copferrees did not wish to have
the house bill killed. They wanted It to
remain over until next December. The
senate conferreea had consented to
that, and In the meantime the con
ferees of both houses had agreed to.
the pending bill. After a brief discus
sion the bill was passed without dlvla-
lon.
Mr. Dolph gave' notice of an amend
ment th the free sugar bill for the res
toration of the McKinley duties on

At the close of the mo'rnlng hour, at

passed. By Mr. Munderaon, to continue
the sugar bounty until July 1, 1905.
Mr. Berry called for the yeas and
nays on the motion to refer the bill to
the finance committee. After ’one or
two names were called, Mr. Vest rose
and addressed the choir, but there were
calls of ’Hoo late” from the Republican
side and Mr. Vest resumed his seat.
The roll call was resumed arid the vote
resulted as follows:

and Mr. Harris moved to refer It to the

Meeting Yesterday.
Washington, Aug. 16.—The first meeting
for several weeks of the house ways and
means committee was held this afternoon.
Mr. Wilson, chaitrxn&n of the committee,
came back from West Virginia in order
to be present. The purpose of the meet
ing was to consider the bill introduced
yesterday by. Mr. McMllUn of Tennessee
to correct the paragraph of the tariff bill.
It was ordered to be reported favorably
without division.
Mr. Tarsney of Missouri then called up
a bill introduced by him on Monday last
which provides that lead ore, in wnich
the component of chief value Is silver
shall be declared silver ore and permitted
to enter free of duty. The Republicans
opposed the bill, and it was defeated by
a strict party vote-« to 5.
Before the meeting adjourned Chairman
\V11s:n announced that he his been in
formed by the officials of »he treasury
department that the paragraph m the
tariff bill relating to diamonds could be
so construed as to permit the free en
trance of those articles, and said : mt at
a subsequent meeting a bill correcting
the inraxraph would be called up..
This led Mr. Reed of Malno to remark
sarcastically that the poor people or the
country ought not to be denied the privi
lege of free diamond* If they wanted
them. This observation caused a general
laugh, which wus followed Immediately
by the adjournment of the committee.

ists In the minds of many importers as
to the assessment of duty on goods nr-
rlvlng In this country prior to or on the
day the tarifl bill becomes effective, but
not formally entered until after the bill
has become o law. In reference to this
confusion, It Is explained at the treasury
department that the but will not go Into
effect until the day .after the presidents
signature Is afllxed, or the low becomes
operative through the expiration of
dtiv'r limit. In other words, if tho
Were signed today, Thursday, August 10.
It would become operative one second af
ter midnight, or at the begliin'og of I rl-
dt»v, August 17. Therefore, as. the law
does not become operative until ti e day
following Its approval, or the lest J'lynr
the limitation, goods reach'nv a IJolteu
Elutes port on the day of the signature,
etc urn subject to assessment under tne
McKinley tariff, and It will not avail the
Importers anything by waiting until the
following day after entry. In csres. how
ever. where goods arrive on the day pie.
ceding the date of effect anl are assessed
under the McKinley law. refun-s of any
excess of duty over the •ontte.la.w will
almst certainly be made. c
HARRIS IS DETERMINED.
Washington, Aug. 16.—When Mr. Harris
made the statement the other day on the
floor of the senate that ho would Ins si
that finance committee take prompt ac
tion on the floor indeorndent of tariff
bills, he mede a promise which, cs far as
hs con -control the situation, will be car
ried out. Evidence of that fact was mani
fested today, for almost Immediately after
the passage of his motion referring to
these four bills to the flnityc committee,
he issued a call for a meeting of the
committee at SJO o'clock. There were
present all the members except Voorbees
and Morrill,'one of whom la nbsent and
the other sick. There Is one vacancy.-
that caused by the death of Mr. \anie,
and thus the committee Is o tie. as soon
as the committee assemh'c-1 Mr. 'Harris
made the statement that h. was pledged
to report the bills back to tn. sennte.
and thl. he proposed to do If possible.
Mr. Jones was of the tame opinion,
while Messrs. Vest and McPherson had
nothing to say. The Republicans were
asked if they would agree that iho Demo
crat. should vote the six votes that be
longed to them in the compo.li:cn of the
committee, but they dodUvrl to pegjt
this sort of an arrangement to go Into
effect. This rather nettled Mr. Ion*'-
who remarked that tho only thin* for
the Democrats to do was to go to the
senate and u.k to have the vacancy fi.led.
He arose from hi, seal anrl apparenll
starting for the door with that end
ip v'ew when the adlnummcn bell rang
and the fight. If there was toi be one,
was postponed nnltt .omortow. The coin-
mlttee will meet again at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning. Just how the Demo
crats can fill the commiltee so necessarj
„ the securing of a report ou these bills,
remains to be seon»
