"WASHINGTON. Jan. The house today de? indued th a b. dition of t lio duty up"H rclitied Mtgar, which was pased uxn just before the house alj'Hinio,! liL.t iiiL-ht as nu amendment offered by Mr. Jlubertson, one of the 1-iouisiana sugar men. A way out of the confusi-m which txisted up. n the eff' t of th? amendment adopted last night -was found after h two hours' li.(.utsira of th" parliamentary situation by submitting the. cjueftioa to the house as to whether the "Warner amendment placing refined tu-ar "ii tie free- list should li con-tidere-d a a Substitut? for the Pobertvon amendment. This was decided nflirniativoly. and then by an overwhelming vote, la which the republicans j"in (1 with the radical democrats r.gainst the sutrar men and several men -l-ers of the ways and means committee, the substitute was adopted. AVith regard to the sugar schedule, therefore, the committee of the whole has abolished the bounty and placed all sugar, both raw ar.I refined, upon the free list. The C011I Schedule. "When It came to consider the coal schedule today, however, the committee fared much better, and all four of the. amendments designed to place a duty of from 40 to 70 cents per ton upon coal were beaten. The debate t pon the coal schedule developed a great deal of feeling among the southern members, and specially those from Virginia, AVest Virfrirda, Tennessee. ;ind Alabama, whose states are interested either In er-al o- iron ore. The sen-fi-nl impression is that the defeat of the sugar men and of those who are interested in retaining a duty upon coal will result in strengthening the movement developed on the democratic; side to reeornmit the bill. If the iron men are defeated tomorrow, and especially if the income tax should t placed upon the bill as a rider later in the week, another strong faction on the democratic, side will be added to tin: "movement. The republicans will all vote for the motion to recommit, and with the democrats who do not rare to vote against the bill outright, but who are not satisfied with it In its present form, they may be a.ble to muster a majority to smd It back to the committee. This is row admitted on all hands to Tbe the chief danger to the bilL If it could be brought to a direct vote there is no question about its passing. The VulillK. The frst vote being taken upon an amendment of Mr. Wise to the amendment of Mr. dates to make the djty on coal CO cents Instead of 4 it was lost Vithout a division. The next vote was taken upon an amendment to Mr. McKaig substitute reducing the duty by a sliding tscule 12'i tents each year for six years, the duty to cease entirely at the end of that time. Upon this proposition the republicans refused to vote, and it was lost 2 to 37.!. The vote then reclined upon the MeKaig substitute practically to restore the present law imposing 73 Cents per ton. Upon this projvosition the republicans voted almost solidly with Messrs. Alderson, Htnt-s of Pennsylvania. Wise, Flbley, Iteilly, Mutchler, " Price and a few other d?m.orats in favor of it. while the rest of the democrats voted against If. It, too, was lost. The final vote was then taken upon Mr. Gates's amendment, pla dng the duty at 40 per cent. Ou this proposition the republicans divided, some voting with the conservative denn rats, Messrs. Dates, Outhwaife, Tucker, Coffeen, Planchard, I 'end I. ton. Wise, Tlriekner, Myer, AA'eadock and the Pennsylvania democrats and others in favor of it, while the vast majority of the democrats supported the position taken by the committee and vo'ej against it. It "Was defeated M to 121. WASHINGTON, Jin. 21. The amendments to the iron schedule today shared th same fate as those to the coal schedule yesterday. They were overwhelmingly defeated and iron ore remains upon the frf list. The remainder of the afternoon was Kpent in th0 discussion of amendments lookin; to the free admission of machinery user la the manufacture of cotton poods. , Just before the house adjourned the Rdvocates and opponents of the income tax upon the democratic, side were arrayed against ea h other, the latter attempting to prevent Mr. McMilün fiom reading the internal revenue bill to the house. The republicans, however, joined l;and with th inrorne-taxers and defeated tha small band oT democrats who li-ive pledged themselves to us every effort to prevent the internal revenue bill containing the income tax from being jilaced upon the Wilson bill as a rider. Mr. Wilon, chairman of the committee, who is in Fympathy with them, allowed the debate ,xn the Hobblns Amendment to run without interruption today, it was said for the express purpose of consuming time, so that the committee amendments which he has to offer will, uhen he gaiu tnkes th" flwr.

exhaust the debate until Saturday night and thus shut out the possibility of the internal revenue bill being ottered as an amendment to the Wilson bill. A Rrcat deal oC bitter feeling exists, however, and should such a program be followed it would unquestionably lead to charges of bad faith. Hol llnOTf r' Speech. Mr. licltzhoover, democrat, of Pennsylvania, opened the debate with a sensational denunciation of the Wilson bill, livery compromise 011 a question of principle, h? i-aid, involved a surrender of right and had ended in ignominious failure. History was idled with striking illustrations of this fact. If the "Wilson bill became a law it would also be a f lilure. Uvery democratic platform, from the foundation of the government until 1S02, had declared for protection to American labor. "How about the platform of lS7ß." interrupted Mr. Hall; "did it not denounce the protective system'.'" "I mean." replied Mr. r.eltzhoover, "that all the platform declarations of the party tended in that direction." "Were you not elected ou the platform of 1S32. which declared protection to bo a frau I and a robber?" asked Mr. (loldzier, democrat, of Illinois. "I was," replied Mr. Ueltzhoover, "but I was elected upon it as construed by Mr. Cleveland and the New Yolk World." ( daughter. He went on to txplain that the New York World maintained throughout the campaiarn that the platform had bc-!i adopted by a. Jew radicals, reinforced by the "snapper" delegation fmm New York and others opposed to Mr. Cleveland's iiomlna tioii. "Which is the b'-st democratic authority." asked Mr. Johnson Ohio, "tlv New York World or the j -mocratie platform?" "The platform ad. '.-ted by the pintform committee," replied Mr. P.eltzhoovor, "adopted by the vop of forty-three. out of forty-four states." .Proceeding, he dtelared, amid the plaudits of the republicans. that he would vote for protection for any industry that came Into competition with goods manufactured abroad. "With Hb Ir.geisoii," he concluded, "I would lather bj ri:rht and in bell than wrong and in heaven." Mr. Cunimiiis lis pi 11 in. Mr. Cummings of New Yoik said tint as a democratic delegate from the state of New York, he d siitd to deny the statement that the New York delegation had voted for the tariff plank in the Chicago platform in order to defeat Mr. Clevtlmd's nomination. "Vv'e voted for it," he declared, "'.''cause it was the platform upon which Simm- j. Tild n was elected president in lT1.''.' Democratic applaus-.i Mr. Detison, ("mocr.it. of Alabama, followed with another sens.;li"nal spec against tlv bill, whieh k-u t th- republicans applauding and cheering from start to finish. "loot's get ba k to the fundamental principles of democracy," he b;-.;u. ) I have learned democracy orr-tly the democratic party i.s a tariif party, and my democracy ha. been learned under the tutelage of Andrew Jackson. 1'iee trade is lkentkusn ss; proiettioa is despotism; both ere unjust.

"Deing an American," he continued rpiickly, while the applause on the republican side lose to a cheer. "I am for tariff incidental protection. 1 ani not a protectionist. gentlemen," he added, turning toward the republican side, "I am an Andrew Jackson democrat." (Laughter.) "How nuuh Incidental protection do you desire?" asked Mr. Livingston of Georgia. "Enough." replied Mr. 1 icnson, slowly, "to ensure the luality of American later and to protect Am i i -an int r sts." (Republican applause.) Mr. Cooper Interpose. "You say you will supin.it the bill U" you don't get what you want".'" interpose. 1 Mr. Cooper. (Applause.) "What do you want? I want 0'1 tents a ton on ore. (Lauglwr.) What do you want as the price of your support?" "Nothing," responded Mr. Cooper. "You are not worth 4' cents then." retorted Mr. Den-;,. a amid laughter on both sides of the bouse. ( lark. l'lr:ie Ilie lloime. Mr. Clark, democrat, of Missouri followed with a characteristic speech denouncing these democrats who wre fighting the Wilson bill. He said democrats who did not like the Wilson bill because it did not dean the Auger, n stables should lemember that the committee had worked against the accumulations of thirty years. Kefurm, like charity, should be.in at hozne. Three men had made heroes of themselves, Wilson of West Virginia, Paynor of Maryland and Tom Johnson of Ohio, by total disregard of their local interests. The republican press had sneered at Mr. Wilson. They calkd him "Professor" Wilson. They sneered and seemed to have a contempt for intelligence. (Laughter.) They said he was saoriticlnj? himself, it might le. but he did not believe it. The storm that arose against Sir Kobert Peel had driven him from place, and power, but Englishmen were now delighted to call him one of thir greatest statesmen. On his tomb they bad written, "The Man Who Gave the people Cheap Ihead." The coal and ii.u combines and the other thievish trusts might pour enough money into Mr. Wilson's district to defeat him. but if they did the people would take him up in their arms and bear him to a higher plane. They might destroy a congressman, but in doing ,s, they might make a president. This complinvnt to Mr. Wilson was greeted with thunderous applause. The house was so highly, entertained with Mr. Clark's speech that his time was repeatedly extended. Mr. Gear, republican, of Iowa made a vigorous speech in opposition to the bill, and he was succeeded by Mr. 1 Synum of Indiana, who devoted some time to explaining the manner in widt h, through the Instrumentality of the protective tariff bague of New York, protests against the Wilson Mil were prepared and democratic memlK-rs were flooded with postal cards. 'I lie VullliKThe votes were then taken upon the landing amendments, first tiMn the amendment of Mr. Taj lor to that of Mr. Gates to restore, the rates of existing law on iron ore 7j cents per ton. Only one democrat (Mr. Swansoa of Virginia) voted with the republicans in favor of this proposition and it was lost 67 to 137. Tha other vote was upon Mr. Gates's amendment to fix the duty at 40 cents per ton. This shared the fate of its predecessor, although many democrats, including most of the democratic members of Alabama. Virginia. West Virginia, Tennessee and Pennsylvania dele, gallons, voted, for it along with the re

publicans from the iron-producing states. The rest of the republicans, adhering to their policy refused to vote, but when the announcement was made that it was lost. 59 to 109. they did not make the point of no quorum. Income Tax Mention. At the conclusion of Gen. Sickles's ppeech, which was finished at 5:23, the first open struggle over the income tax was precipitated and the momentary flash showed the depth of feeling within the democratic ranks upon this subject and portended the fierce conflict which will ensue when it comes up for consideration. Mr. Wilson moved that the committee rise, and this motion, without objection, was agreed to, Speaker Crisp resuming the chair. Mr. McMillln, holding the internal revenue bill containing the income tax feature above his head, was loudly clamoring for recognition, while tha opponents of the income tax, including Messrs. Cook ran, Tracy. Cummings, Lock wood and others of the New York delegation, were as earnestly appealing for the speaker's eye. Above the din and confusion Mr. McMillln demanded recognition to present a privileged report. The opponents of Hie income tax wanted to adjourn the bouse and the speaker was forced to recognize Mr. Lock wood to make that motion. The - republicans with the democrats favoring the income tax voted against the proposition to adjourn and tne opponents of the income tax were hopelessly In-aten. Amid a roar of applause, Mr. McMilün reported the internal revenue bill to the house. Th advocates of the income tax were victorious and ten seconds later the house to..; a recess until s o'clock. May Eilend the Time. The extension of the tariff debate appears to b" settled, as the friends of the income tax want more time and the opponents of the measure are willing to concede the additional lime rather than have so important a measure added to the bill without full debate. Mr. Heed acre-s with Chairman Wilson that two days' ext nsio.i is piol.al le. Mr. Kryan Willi Mr. Mc.Miiun. who funnel the Income tax bill, says the utidr rstamling is iuit.- definite that the extension o lime wiil be made. If two days aradded the d. bate will be carrb'd over to Wdu sd.iy, Jan. :;t.

The full way.- and means committee has voted to icjx.rt the internal revenue bill, including the income tax. The vole was a to 7. All th? republhan and Messrs. Cook ran and Stevens voted in t!ii negative. Tli; success of the income tax men n finally getting the bill out of the committee was rent !vd after a sharp contest. At tirst ih? 1 publii ans rolused to vol". Thr -e d ino(.:ats, Oockran, SLeus and P.yr.Min, also refused to vote. Thi; broke a ou iruui ;md the income tax men were powerless. Then Mr. Ib-ed came to ttie rescue, and said if anoint r roll-call was tak.n tne republicans would Vote to make a quorum, but not to favor a report. The roll-call gave liftecn vote.-, or four more than a Quorum. Cockian aid Stevens still refused to vote, but the iu..funi was made without them.

Mr. Pynum says the bill is out of danger now and that a canvass in the senate shows a majority of fifteen for the income tax.

Hi' is an original income taxer and stumped his district on that and the taiitf issue.

Gama was apparently in a v."ry bad humor when the American oiTiecr arrived aboard the Aquidaban. and wilh many exclamations .f imatk nee he listened to the re ital of the American captain's grievances. The insurgent admiral was evidently siill annoyed or the unsatisfactory conferences which he had held wilh Admiral P- nham and was indispose! to do anything. AVhen the Arnerii an ollh-er had finished making his statement Gama. with a shrug of his shoulders, said in a very siiarp tone: "It is not my fai:lt. The American ship captains should know enough to keep themselves and the!'" cr-vs out of the range of our guns. I shall not take any notice of this matter." This curt resix-nse to his laessag aroused the ire of Admiral licnham aid he (U-termined to make such a .bowing that it would produce a la-timr e!'f?ct upjn the insurgents.

Capt. Plackford of the Amy, however, showed himself made of sterner stuff and announced that tie wouhl get ready at once and accept the protection which Admiral Penham had offered him. Accordingly the Amy txk her position in the ranks of the Pnited States war vessels and the formidable procession started on its way up the harb r. The news that something important was taking place aloard the American warships Spread both on shore and aboard the ships of all the foreign fleets represented at this port. The street at Pl'i fronting the bay were crowded with people and every vessel in the harbor presented an animated scene as its crew rushed upon deck ami the men settled themselves to witnesj what followed. CntiKes Creat Excitement. The Detroit took the leading part in the procession. The fleet as it approached nearer to Rio came quite close to the thore, causing intense excitement among both the soldiers and civilians on land an! the sailors aboard the various vessels. The Amy proceeded 0:1 Iter way to her wharf and was safely moon-d there. Not until her captain had reported that he was fully satisfied did his Iowerftil escrt leave him. Throughout the whole affair not a single shot was tired,' but the scene waa quite as impretrive as if this had been done. After passing along Rio's water front, the Ileet returned out into the bay and anchored in nearly the same position a it had occupied previous to the demonstration. The affair is the sole absorbing topic of conversation afloat anl ahre tonight. The i-oll-.y f non-lnteiferenee so DfxA'Ifwtly' pursued by Commander

The American ship captains' complaints are only repetitions of what has been going 'uii since hostilities first commenced her. Captains of all other foreign-ships have hal the same experiences in visiting Rio while the insurgents and Peixoto'ß army have been peppering each othT with shot and shell. Complaints in grtat numbers have been made to the home governments by foreign merchants and ship captains ami the commendable performance of duty by Admiral Benham in affording safetv t the owners of American crafts will ooubtless result in simhilar orders being issued for like action on the part of the commanders of other foreign ships at this port.
