Five Minute Debate on Tariff Bill Opens in Washington
Washington March 6 The five minute rule debate on the tariff bill opened amid a sharp partisan clash with Democrats pressing to strike the enacting clause.

Amendments favoring trusts were blocked as the House advanced provisions, raising duties on sulphuric ether and pig lead. The Senate adjourned at 4 pm after executive session on the arbitration treaty.
