DO.1IVER OF IOWA TALKS ABOUT BOlES ScolTs at the Senntc and this S'rcMldent nsat Thou Irlfts Into h'olltiii Until Protests Are Ilniseil Agninst lhliia WASHINGTON May house today by a vote of 165 to 69. passed the bill for the repeal of section 61 of the present tariff law provIding for a rebate on alcohol used in the arts or medicinal compounds. An amend- meat was attached to the bill providing for a joint commission to consist ot three members from each house to examine and report on all questions relating to free alcohol at the next session The opposition to the mneas- nra came almost entirely from eastern and New England states.

An analysis of the vote shows that. fifty-six democrats 104 republicans publicans and five popullats voted for the bill had sixty republicans and nine democrats against the bill. The senate amendments to the genea1 deficiency except the French spohiation claims and claims under the 130w- man acti werq disagreed to and the bill sent to conference. Mr. Dolliver republican of Iowa a member of the ways and means comrmlttee spoke in favor of the alcohol bill.

lie ridiculed the idea of attempting republican lican legislation against the opposition of the "Inert populistic mass in the senate" and the "inert free trade mass in the white house. Mr. Dolliver then drifted into politics and paid his respects to ox-Governor Horace Boles of Iowa who he raid looking In vain through the dust and cobwebs of a country law office for a republican nomhna. tion joined the anti-prohibition element in Iowa and carrie'I the democratic party to victory. With cutting satire lie described Mr.

l3oks a' tiring of the contemplation of the legal 'status of the town pump and turn- log his attention to broader fields. lie told of a dinner at tue New York Reform club in 1891 at which Cleveland Carlisle and Boles were present and at which Boles dc- livered a high tribute to the prosperity of the country under tIme McKinley law. He eulogized the splendid leadership of Reed McKinley l3iaine and Harrison undr which the McKinley law had been enacted and described the misrepresentation of that law which had overthrown the splendid republican phalanx. and bad given congroes over to the 'widest assortment of political freaks that ever added to the gayety of nations. lie went on to describe how Mr.

Boles bad once again "shifted his horizon and now sought 'with some local success. to restore the irosperity of a republican administration by advocating the "unlimited manufacture of 50-cent dollars. The republican side displayed a good deal of indecision during the delivery of Mr. fbI. liver's remarks but Mr.

McMiiiin democrat of Tennessee angrily protested against consuming suming the brief time for debate with apolitical harangue and Mr. Knox republIcan of Massachusetts. joined in the protest. Mr. I3artlett democrat of New York and Mr.

Colson of Kentucky opposed and Mr. McMiiiin advocated the alcohol bill. The tat. ter denied that the proposed legislation was in the interest of the whisky trust. Mr.

Dingiey chairman of the ways and means committee closed the debate in favor of the measure. There were be said three facta to be borne in mind First this was not a tariff bill It was simply an internal revenue bill second with claims against the government piling up good administration demanded its repeal arid third the present provision was absolutely unworkable. fly 112 to the house accepted the corn- promise amendment agreed on by friends and opponents of the bill providing for the appointment of a eommltteo to examine all questions relating to free alcohol and report port to congress next December and as amended the alcohol bill was passed 165 to 69. Another partial report on thq Indian appropriation bill which left only the ques- Uon of the sectaria0 schools and the old settlers claims still in dispute was adopted. At 5:45 p.

Some of them tAke their pra.tico spins in the morning ing and others in the afternoon and even- lng. The course is an ideal one for a road race.

The surface of the macadam is smooth contains but one turn and that not a dangerous one and with the exception of one railroad track there is nothing which could be culled an obstruction. This railroad road crossing is planked in such a manner as to render it as little inconvenient as possible. There is suflicient of down hill and level road to afford opportunity to display play the speed of the riders and hills enough to climb to test their wind and endurance. In a jaunt over the course yesterday many of the riders were found barth at their training ing and speed enough was sown to demon- strata that the winner will hare ample reason to congratulate himself on his sue- cess. In cycling circle it is rumored there are some hitherto unknown men who are very likely to give the old-timers the.
