was responsible for this latest move,
and that within forty-eight hourg Dewey
had been in consultation with Demo
cratic leaders' and others antagonistic to
President McKinley, and the opinions
they expressed, together with the unfa
vorable views voiced by the newspaper,
decided him to withdraw from the con
test.

PACIFIC STATES TELEPHONE COS,
PUERTO RICAN
TARIFF BILL
Comes Up In the House aoi Causes
Eiciit Discussion,
FIGHT AGAINST
THE SPECIAL ORDER
It is Adopted; However, by a Vote of
158 to 143 Scnational Speeches on
Both Sides of the House.
Washington', April ll.The closing
struggle over the Puerto Rican tariff bill
today in the house attracted great crowds
to the galleries. As soon as the reading
of the journal was concluded, Dalzell
presented a special order under which
the hause was to operate today. Richard
son, the minority leader, called attention
to the fact that tho rule would permit
the house to vote only upon a single
proposition. He further aseerted that
it waB never the intention of the Repub
licans of tho house in the first instance
to enact any such measure, and drew
a salvo of applause from his Democratic
colleagues by characterizing the presi
dent in the language of ex-Speaker Reed
as "tho emperor of expediency." He
also recalled the statement in a local
newspaper that a Republican member
of the house had said that in return for
the passage of the bill a large contribu
tion was to be made to the Republican
campaign fund. Babr.ock, chairman of
tho Republican congressional campaign
committee, challenged anyone to name
a Republican responsible for the charge
that tiie Republican campaign committee
had received or was to receive a money
consideration for the Ruerto Rican tariff
bill. Pierce tried to interrupt Babnock,
but the latter waved him aside.
"He withdraws the challenge,"
shouted a voice ou the Democratic side,
amid a howl of derision.
Grosvenor followed with a speech that
kept his side in almost continued ap
plause He said it was a glorious thing
to witness the anxiety of the Democratic
party and tho mugwump press, lest the
Republican party should destroy iteelf.
Dalzell concluded the debate on the
rule. He recalled the rule brought in
when tho Democrats coucuired iu the
senate amendments to the Wilson tariff
bill, evoking frequent applause. "Scribes,
Pharisees and hypocrites," he de
nominated the Democrats for prating on
a change of base by tho Republicans.
The rule was adopted, 158 to 148.

Washington, April 11. The flnal vote,
