PRICE OF STEEL RAILS
ANOTHER TARIFF DISCUSSION IN
THE HOUSE.
Mr. Williams Continues to Insist
Upon His Demand That a
Quorum Be Present.
During consideration of the nnval appro
priation bill late yesterday afternoon a live
ly discussion occurred between Mr. Bates
of Pennsylvania. Mr. Williams of Missis
sippi. Mr. Clark of Missouri and Mr. Payne
of New York over certain statements made
by Mr. Hates In relation to the price of
steel rails.
The discussion took on a wide tariff
range, a forerunner of still further tariff
discussion as the session nears Its close.
The speakers, except Mr. Foss, Mr. Mey
er of Ixiulsiana and Mr. Knawland of Cali
fornia. debuted h feature of the bill, con
tenting themselves, under the latitude fur
nished, hv "general debate," with discussing
subjects In which they have a peculiar and
personal Interest.
It is expected that general debate will
run today, the bill being taken up by sec
tions tomorrow.
At to the naval program carried in the bill
Mr. Foss believed that It would meet with
the judgment of the members of the House.
He said that the highest naval opinion of
the world, growing out oi the recent naval
conllict between Japan and Russia, was
that the battleship was tie real lighting
ship. He referred to the Dreadnaught of
the British navy and said: "We have pro
vided In tills bill for a great battleship
more powerful than any afloat."
"How many American harbors could the
Dreadnaught inter?" asked Mr. Underwood
of Alabama.
"It could easily enter New York," re
plied Mr. Foss. "and possibly some other
harbors. It has 28 feet draft and I think ,
the New York harbor Is about 40 feet.
"Well,"' salij Mr. I'nderwood, "It couldn't
protect or enter any of the hiybors In the
southern or gulf states. It must neces
sarily have a large base of supplies."
"It would not be necessary for such a
ship to enter any harbor." replied Mr. Foss.
"It would protect the coast by meeting the
enemy at sea "
At this point Mr. Williams, the minority
leader, raised the point of "no quorum."
The chair held the point of "no quorum"
In order and there was a scurrying of pages
to committee rooms and lunch rooms to
bring In the absentees and a quorum was
obtained
"The building of a great battleship." said
Mr. Foss In conclusion, "means notice to
all the world that we propose to look after
our Interests not only at home, but wher
ever our interests may be?here or on an
other continent."
Again Mr. Williams suggested the ab
sence of a quorum, and the business of the
House stopped until the absentees were
brought in.
Debate on the naval bill had proceeded
listlessly for several hours, when suddenly
an exceedingly interesting colloquy occurred
during the addi^ss of Mr. Bates (Pa,). He
had been talking about the "dumping" pro
cess which the democrats were using as an
example of what the tariff does for the for
eign market as against the home market.
Then passing to the consideration of steel
rails, he said the price in England and
Great Britain wrs Ktl.AO; the export price In
(treat Britain $2.1: ir. Germany the home
price was $H0. the export price $24: In
France the home price was $31, the export
price $2?p>.r>0: in the United States the home
price was the export price $26.50.
He gave as a reason for selling steel rails
in Canada and Mexico cheaper than in the
I'nited States that they were sold under the
Sharpest competition.
Mr. Williams (M1S3.), who had been listen
ing to the tariff speech of Mr. Bates, sud
denly asked for the authority that the Eng
lish sell abroad chcaper than at home.
Mr. Bates replied that the Information
came from Mr. Gary of the United States
Steel Corporation.
"An interested witness," replied Mr. Wil
liams "I challenge the gentleman to give
me another witness, and If he can't do It
now to put It In the Record later."
I hen the name of Tom Johnson of Ohio
was In letted .n the dobate. Mr. Cktrk
asked If the second largest manufacturer of
"r' r lllN ln ,hls country, when sitting on
the floor of the House as a member, hod not
said that steel rails could be made at (12
a ton. "If you take off the tariff, and make
Plenty of profit to sell them at $1(1?"
., !Batf* Hild he thought that was one
the extravagant statements the gentle
man from Ohio loved to Indulge ln.
<N Y > ?a'd Mr. Johnson voted
for tike \\ llaon tariff bill, and voted for it
notwithstanding the fact that there was a
\lr d"ty on ra"B at that time.
?Mr ,ark wanted to know who Mr Payne
said voted for the Wilson bill.
Ihls man Johnson," replied Mr. Payne
? "e,voted, against It," said Mr. Clark"
and begged me on the floor of this House
