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 wool.

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: Yeas—Aldrich. Allison, Blanchard, Brice, Butler, Oaffrey. Camden, Chand ler, Cultom, Davis. Faulkner, Galllnger, Gibson, Gorman.

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.
