ASTKIA, OR EGO Y, WEDNESDAY 3I0EN1NG, JANUARY TJIE NATIONAL CAPITAL Wilson Addresses the Ilonse on the Tariff Bill. BURROWS' ELOQUENT PROTEST He Calls upon the Democrats to Abandon the Destructive Tariff Policy. Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 9. The election comn'ltt-e or the house, by a strict par t.v vote, (U-i-lded the contested election of O'Nell vs. Joy, of the 11th Missouri district, In favor of O'Nell. Burrows, of Michigan, addressed the house In answer to Wilson, making the ipenins speech in behalf of the repub lican minority. He said: The problra tion of business is due to the usceniicn cy of the political party pledged to the destruction of the protective policy. If the republicans had been successful lr. the elections of 1SP2, the public prrs perlty would have continued. Burr.iws then took up the tariff plank of the iatt democratic national platform, r.nl compared it with the South Carolii.a oidinauce of nullification. He then ar gued at length on the question of the constitutionality of the protective tat iiT. The .speaker then took up the free list, and proceeded to argue that the farmer had been especially selected for assault and destruction. Free iron ore and free wool would result In the destruction of the Hocks and the closing of the mines or the lowering of our condition to the level of foreign competitor. Bur rows then are-ueel against the subtllu ti :n of ad valorem for specific duties. He concluded with an eloquent picture of thi present depivsd rendition of the country and appealed to the demo crats to abandon the policy outlined in the bill. Thursday was set for the considera tion of Hornblower'a nomination. Wilson's remarks on the tariff Mil were often Interrupted by democratic applause, but otherwise he was allowed to proceed until he created something of a stir when he referred to the protests against the pending bill ns being largely "inspired by the power of capital, which directed, forced and frightened em ployes to sustain protected industries." He said that when the effort to abolish slavery was made, petitions came from a large delegation of slaves praying that slavery might be continued. This brought to his feet Doolittle, of Washingt.in, with: "And do you com pare the laboring men of this country to the slave element of the South?" Wilson responded: "I think uuch a question would not be asked by any one above the intelligence of a slave." Loud and prolonged applause from the dem ocratic side, and much confusion follow ed Wilson's answer. Doolittle said he did not catch the answer, and asked that It be repeated, with the evident purpose of making a protest against it. Wilson answered: I desire to be courteous to everyone in this debate; I will now withdraw the answer I gave the gentleman." Reed, of Maine: "But you can't with draw the democratic applause." (Laugh ter.) Wilson's peroration was forcible and eloquent. He began with reference to the legend which he said had always been inscribed on the democratic ban ner, "Equal rlght3 to all and tpecla. privileges to none." The people h; brought the democratic party into pow er on the broad principle of equal jus. tice to all. The democratic party raim s j Itself as one man, takes up this great cause, plants its standard here to sink or swim, survive or perish. That the democratic party may continue in pow er, we will plant the banner here; we mean to have a fight, and will call upon every true believer in the democratic party to rally to our side. -Let ug labor for a country free to all, equal to all, with an opportunity planted In every home. In every humble fireside in th land.

The first speaker at the evening ses sion was Haines, democrat, represent Ing the Troy, New York, district, who made a . vigorous protest against the Wilson bill. IN THE SENATE. Washington, Jan. 9.

Affairs here reached a critical stage today, and the governor, as a precautionary measure, ordered a, detachment of the police of the state house to preserve order. At 3 o'clock the republicans marched to the eenate with a band at their heud to the tune of "Marching Thro' Geor gia." becretary Thompson reported thirteen present, and In fact there were only nine present; nine democratic hold overs. There was a' great commotion outside the hnll when the republican senators rapped at the door for admit tance. The Bergeant-at-arms demanded the names of those rapping. After sonic parleying, the doors were opened and all the senators were admitted and took seats'. The republicans proceeded to or ganize, and then sent a message to the house. They were recognized by that body. The governor' sail he would eon suit a legal advisor before taking action. THE BIG FIGHT. A Test" Battle to be Given Before l,e Mitchell-Corbett Affair. Jacksonville, Jan. 9. A number of bets have been rJaee.l within the List few days, all with the odds slightly in ftvvor of Lorbett. Tonight several were made at. $100 to $80. A glove ti litest has been arranged with the cianic con ditions under which Corbett and Mitch ell are matched, to take place in this city the latter end of the week. The principals will be Green Harris, cham pion negro middleweight of Tennessee, and Perry Watklns, champion middle weight of Florida. A purse of $500 will be offered for the contest. Although the Duval Athletic Club deny It, it is gener ally known that this- will be in the na ture of a challenge to Governor Mitchell If the contest Is allowed to go on with out interference, it will be taken as a certainty that the Corbett-Mltchell bat tle will take place, while '.f stopped, the courts will be asked to decide the mat ter. This is thought to be the plan the Duval people have been forming for a long time past, and which has been guarded with such secrecy. Late tonight the club has out a statement to the public reciting its attempts to obtain a conclusive legal test of the question whether the proposed contest Is in violation of any law of the state of Florida, and Governor Mitchell's de termined opposition to such a legal con. test. The club asked the governor to unite In submitting a test ease to the supreme couro, but lie refused. The club In this address dares the governor to tik the supreme court for a decision in the case.
