THE URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL Majority Report of the AVays aud Means Committee on the Wilson Bill. Associated Press. Washington, D. C, Dc.e. 19.rThe house has been in a noisy, tumultous wrangle all day over the Hawaiian question growing outj of Boutelle's resolution of yesterday. .When he called Cleveland a "democratic usur per," his words were drowned In con fusion. The banking and currency committee voted on the bill to repeal the state bank tax. The vote stood a tie. Washington, D. C. Dec. 19. The ma jority report of the ways and means corn mittee on the tariff was submitted to the house at the opening today. The report says the bill on which the com mittee expended as much patient and anxious labor Is nob offered as a com plete response to the mandate of the American people. It no more professes to be purged of all protection than to be free of all error In Its complex mani fold details. However we may deny the existence of any legislative pledge or of the rlghVof any congress to make such pledge for the continuance of du ties that carry with them more or less acknowledged protection, we must re cognize that ' great interests do exist whose existence and prosperity it Is no part of our reform either to imperil or curtail. In dealing with the tariff ques tion, as with every other long-standing abuse that has Interwoven Itself with our social or industrial system, the legislator must always remember that In the beginning temperate reform Is safest, having in Itself the principle of growth. Washington, D. C. Dec. 19.--In ans wer to the crltlclsmi about reducing the revenues at a time when tho gov ernment Is In financial straits, the re port says the committee Is compelled In deference to that fact to not put on the free list some articles which they would have been glad to make free nnd not cut other rates as low a desirable. Experience shows that the Increase cf business will largely make up the Iobs from the decreased rates. The re port) rteclares) the reciprocity clause of the tariff act of 1890 has brought no appreciable benefits, and the present bill alms, therefore, to repeal It en tirely. The republican members will submit a minority report. The house was in an ugly frame of mind today. The republicans wer In a fighting mood over the Hawaiian situation when the house met. and the row opened immediately. 'Cochran s resolution yesterday was presented and hurriedly referred to the committee on rules. Then came a sharp skirmish on the Boutelle resolution. By means of this, resolution Boutelle succeeded In getting an. opportunity to address th.- house, but the tirade against the ad ministration was suddenly cut snort by the action of the speaker in decid ing a point of order to which Boutelle was speaking In his favor, ajid referred the resolution to the committee 011 rules. The consideration of the urgency de ficiency bill was then resumed, and some very exciting scenes were enacted before It was finally passed. The item appropriating $200,000 for. special examiners was amended so as to prevent the suspension of any pen sions without giving the pensioner no tice, with an opportunity to furnish testimony in rebuttal. ' Amendments were also adopted ap propriating $180,000 for extra mileage for members and senators, $4f.,000 for stationery, and about $25,000 to pay employes of the house and senate and the senate an extra month's pay. Most bitter opposition existed to each of these propositions, the first of which was denounced on the floor of the house as a proceeding whose scandalous char acter had not been approached since the day of the famous salary grab. BlanJ and Holman led the fight against these propositions, with a view to placing tho members on record with an aye and nay vote, but were not numerically strong enough, and the committee on rultjs ultimately brought In a special order by the terms of which filibuster ing was stopped without recording a vote. Immediately after the reading of the Journal, Cochran offered the resolu tion which he sought to present yes terday, to appoint a special committee of seven to Investigate the alleged at tempt of the last administration to annex territory without consulting the house of representatives, and inquire into, the rights of the house in the premises. The resolution had no sooner been read than a dozen men on each side of the house rushed toward the tar of the house crying for recognition. Boutelle, meanwhile, was wild1. tempting to offer his resolution of yes terday as a substitute, but Cochran was recognized to move to refer the reso lution to' the committee on rules, and upon which he demanded the previous question. The confusion was so great that the speaker vas appealed to several times lor order. Finally Breckenridge made a point of order that under the rults the resolution wculd go to the commit tee on rules without a motion. The speaker held1 accordingly. CHICAGO'S NEW MAYOR. Chicago, Dec. 19. The election for mayor to succeed the late Mayor Har rison Is being held today. The weather Is erfeet. A heavy vote Is being polled. The candidates are Geo. B. Swift, republican, and John P. Hopkins, democratic. Both are confident. Hopkins was elected by a majority of 387. The vote, which was one "of the H-avleat ever polled In the city, shows a deulded republican gain. In several down-town wards where the lodging- house vote resides, the contest was very bitter, and wraps were of lrt quent occurrence when the police -were not at hand. Late tonight the repub lican city central committee decided to contest the election of Hopkins. It is claimed the police returns shew 000 inare for Hopkins than were actually cast, and the committee say the 1. .,.1 coiin." will ei,,5 thfl election to Swift. A TIMBER SWINDLE. Tacoma, Dec. 19. Seciet service de tectives are said to be here looking for John C.
