When let down he received tne enthusiastic congratulations of his con freres. It was a demonstration such as has seldom been seen in congress. Bus iness was at a standstill for twenty minutes on account of the dlsoroer. Finally the floors were .' cleared and preparations made for voting, The glowing peroration aroused the democrats and the galleries to the high est pitch of enthusiasm, and the dem onstration which followed the last word has seldom been equalled in the house. The whole democratic tflde rose to itsteett and books and records were thrown In the air. Cheer followed cheer, and the people in he f;ii'!i'iies Joined with voice and hands in the iilo. ute. Before Wilson could sit do vn, three democratic members biibl.liug over with enthusiasm Johnson, Titcker ! .1 and Bryan rushed up the alste ;i,d lilted Wilson upon their shouldrcs nnd carried him in trlmuph to the rear of the hall, where for ten minutes he listened to the words of praise B'-.wied upon him. It was a remarlcahlo dem onstration in every respect. The time had now arrived for a vote on the bill and pending amendments, but the dis order was so great that the sergeant-at-arms was called upon to clear the aisles, and the wives ot members who had been allowed upon the floor were obliged to retire. ' Some cheering greeted the announc- ment of the vote. The bill was en grossed, and the third time, the last stage In the passage of the bill, had been reached, when Covert, democrat, of New York, standing In the center aisle, moved to recommit the bill to the committee with Instructions to re port back with Buch amendments as will provide by duties levied upon im ports, for such additional revenue as may be necessary to support the gov ernment economically administered. Upon that motion Cochran demanded the ayes and nays, but only 36 demo crats rose to the second demand prin cipally those who had voted against the income tax, together with the Lou isiana sugar men not a sufficient num ber. The motion to recommit was then defeated on a rising vote of 103 to 177. Then came the final yote on the bill itself, on which an aye and nay vote was asked and granted by a rising vote. Koll call was watched with marked In terest and frequent bursts of applause greeted accessions to one aide or U.e other.

It Is estimated that over 20,000 attempted to gain admittance to the galleries ot tho hoiise today. Every available seat was occupied long before tho gavel dropped.- So great did the crush becofne that members secured permission to bring their wives upon the floor. In one of the aisles a fight was precipitated between, two men over the color Question. One .of the com batants Wiif a negro demanding his full rights as an American citizen, and the other 'wasv,a white man making the same claim. This claim Included the right to stand on the same Bquare foot of territory, and as It was too small for both, a race war resulted. The belllgerants were hustled from the gal lery.

Many senators and other distinguished personages were on tho flooii, and In the galleries were Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Stevenson, and other ladies of eminence and distinction, Then for three hours the oratory of the champions of the two economic systems. followed, Reed, Crisp and Wilson, while their partisans made the air vocal with shouts of approval. The appearance of the speaker cf - the house upon the floor, engaged In debate, was In Itself remarkable, as well as an unusual thing. Each of the speakers seemed to be in his best form, and the speeches today will rank among the most bril liant of their lives. On the first roll call, the barley amendment was defeated 170 to 109. It was significant as the first test vote sustaining the bill. The amendment making barley 22 cents and malt 37 cents per bushel, was lost 120 to 197. The committee amendment to raise the duty on malt from 20 to 25 per cent, and on barley malt from 25 to 323 per cent, was car ried 204 to 114. The other amendments, Including that abolishing the bounty on rugar and that placing refined sugar on the free list, were agreed to in bulk without di vision. Tho first amendment which Johnson desired a separate vote upon was plac- jng wool upon the free list Immediately after the passage of the bill. The johnGon amendment was therefore agreed to without division. Tom Johnson, democrat, of Ohio, ask ed for a separate vote on the wool schedule. C. M. Stone, republican, of Pennsylvania, for a separate vote on petroleum, and Tracy, democrat of New York, on the Internal revenue, in cluding the Income tax. All other amendments were agreed to. The standing vote on the amendment fixing the time when the wool schedule shall go Into effect as August 2, 1894, was carried 205 to 45. A standing vote on the amendment to the manufactured wool schedule, to go into effect Decem ber 2, was carried 186 to 42. The vote on the amendment putting petroleum on the free list, striking out reciprocity, carried 170 to 44, without roll call. Yeas and nays were ordered on the In ternal revenue bill. Bourke Cochran asked unanimous consent to vote on the Income tax separate from the Internal revenue schedules. Objection was made Tho speaker ruled that the Internal revenue amendment must be voted as one ot the amendments. The republicans, with a few excep tions, refused to vote, but the amend ment, including the Income tax, was adopted 182 to 50. The populists voted In the affirmative, as did also the fol lowing republicans: Bowers, Fletcher, Hartman, Marshal, Plckler, White, and Sweet, of Idaho. ThoBe who voted against the amendment were: Babcock, Bartlett, Beltzshoover, Brawley, Bro slua, Cadmus, Campbell, Causey, Clan cey, Cochran, Cumpton, Coombs, Cor nish, Covert Cummings, Davey, De Forest, Dunn, Dunphy, English, Ever ett, Fielder, Geisr enhalner, Haines, llar ter, Hendrix, Lapham, Lockwood, Mag nor, McAleer, McCall, McKalg, Meyer, Moore, Mutchler, O'Neill, Page, Powers, Price, Raynor, Rellley, Rusk, Ryan, Sehermerhorn, Scranton, Sickles, Sper ry, Stevens, Talbot,' Warner, and Wol verton.
