[Associated Press dispatches to the Herald]

Washington, January 21. ?In thoHouse, Crisp of Georgia, called up thecontested election case of Thoebeagainst Carlisle, the pending questionbeing on the resolution of the major-ityof the Committee on Elections.

Bacon, of New York, Chairman ofthe Committee on Monufacturers, re-ported a preamble and resolution di-recting the commission on manufac-turers to investigate all combinationsof the certain individuals and corpo-tions engaged in manufacturing, min-ing, or dealing in necessities for thepurpose of controlling or curtailingthe supply of the same, and therebyincreasing tho prices to the detrimentof commerce.

Crisp then moved that the Houseadjourn. Carried by strict party vote.

EFFECT OF THE ADJOURNMENT.

The action of the House inadjourn-ing without disposing of tho Tlioebe-Carlisle case, rendered a reconsidera-tion of the vote by which the resolu-tion was defeated yesterday impossi-ble, except by unanimous consent.Although the rumor that Carlisle willon Monday address letters to theHouse asking that tho case be re-opened, is declared by his friends to

be without foundation, even shouldsuch a communication be received,its suggestions could only bo actedupon by unanimous consent, unlessthe order for the previous question, un-der which the House is now operatingshould be considered.

POLITICAL DISPUTES.

Since the new anti-socialist projectwas placed before the Reichstag, op-position has waxed strong from allparties, except the conservativegroups, and the National Liberalsseem to be tending toward a decisionto reject the measure, unless it isgreatly modified. Their criticism ofthe project has become so bit-ter that the organs of that partyassail the general spirit ofthe

_measure. The result of

the discontent among this portion ofthe Government group will be aban-doned and the period of operations ofthe present law will be prolonged foitwo years.

The Latest Method of FightingEmployers.

Wilkesiiarre, Pa., January 21. ?Inan address before a mass meeting ofminers at Ashley last evening, W. H.Hines advanced a new idea relative tothe strike. He advised the strikers toapply to the poor authorities in theirdistrict for aid. This would, under thelaw, have to be accorded them, and atax would have to be levied,

m whichwould necessarily fall most heavily onthe corporations and wealthy coaloperators. Thus they would be compelled to contribute to the support ofthe men they are tryingto starve intosubmission, and in this waycould soonbe brought toterms.

A.Donaldson, of the Southern Pacificcompany, telegraphs from St. Louisto-day that the Trannontinental Asso-ciation, in session there, had agreedto the appointment of a com-mittee of California railroadmen to prepare an east-boundPassenger Tariff.

The work will be done atonce, and the new fares will go intoeffect soon. It is stated that therewill be an advance on the presentschedule.

TARIFF REFORM.

It is Discussed at a BanquetTable in New York.

New York, January 21.?The TariffReform Club gave a dinner to-night to350 guests. After dinner half ascore of guests discussed the issue ontariff reform. Anson Phelps Stokespresided. The speakers were Hon.W. C. P. Brcckenridge, of Kentucky,Hon. Melbourne H. Ford, of Mich-igan, Hon. Henry Watterson, of Ken-tucky, Hon. M. I). Harter, of Ohio,and a number of local speakers.

President 3tokes in his address saidthat the Presidential election turnedupon tariff reform, and J. P. Town-send's resolution endorsing Cleve-land's message was adopted.

P. Breckenridge responded to thetoast, "TariffReform." Breckenridgereferring to his own recorded standagainst the abolition of the tax on to-bacco said he would rather have it re-duced than no action taken. Hespoke in scathing terms of the conces-sions to tho railways and said that thepublic credit had been handled bypeculiar thinkingpersons. This verymonth the wool manufacturersand so-called wool-growers met todetermine a wool tarriff to beadopted by the Congress of theUnited States for their benefit. Itnever occurred to them that therewere (10,000,000 people who might beconcerned in the matter. Brecken-ridge asked how long the peoplewould allow the wool to be pulledover their eyes in this matter. TheReading strike be attributes to thebad working of the present iniquitiouasystem.

Congressman Pord spoke on thefarmer and the tariff.

AN ADDRESS BY WATTERSON.The subject assigned Henry Watter-

son, editor of the Courier-Journal,was "The platform and the outlook."He said: "The platform is the Presi-dent's message. The outlook is mostencouraging. For more than ayear my fear has been thatwe might not be able inadvance of our National Conventionto close the ranks and move in solidcolumns against the enemy on dis-tinct lines of our own deliberatechoosing, and as I believe, nothing ]clears the political atmosphere likeplain speaking right out in meetingIhave given the Administration ofthe country the best the shop has af- |forded in the way of disagreeablepersistency and sincerest candor. Itwas obvious to my mind that unless 1we could agree in Congress we shouldnot agree in Convention. The taiiffplank in the last National Democratic 1platform was not intended to be strad- 'died, because, although the platform 1committee had been adroitly packedin the interest of protection, the rev-enue reformers were still strongenough to hold their groundand carry all their points.Hence nothing short of a declaration ,which might not bear two construe- .tions would satisfy the demand for areform in the National platform, andany one could not be obtained with-out a light, and possibly a split. Justin the mckof time the President cameto the rescue with wisdom, impetuouscourage and the craft of common-sense, deriving its strength from itsintegrity. This brave and honestman, this puzzle to politicians, witha single stroke of his pen did whatmight for years have battled theefforts of the greatest of statesmenand philosophers. By this act he re-versed the situation from one of cow-ardly indecision to one of enthusiasmand confidence. Upon the lines ofthat message Iwould rather be .beat-en than win upon those of a livingsubstitute, but we shall not be beaten.

Hon. M. 11. Harter, general mana-ger of the Mansfield manufacturingindustry, responded to "Ohio andtho Tariff." Local speakers followeduntil a late hour.
