The bill was temporarily laid aside to en-
able Mr.. Slater, who desired to leave the
city to-day to call up the conference report
upon the Indian Creek orphan fund bill.
Carried, Messrs. Cameron, ingails,, san
ders and VanWyck, with Davis, OF illinois,
voted "aye" with the democrats. The
point in controversy in the bill
was the item of $l06, 900 for the support of
loyal refugees of the tribe, which the senate
had voted to have charged against the
Creek fund, and as to which conferees re-
ported that the money should be
paid by the United States directly, and
that nothing in the act shall prevent the
latter from being reimbursed hereafter by
the Creek Nation. The report, after dis
was adopted.
Debate on the tax reduction bill was then
MIR. Beck said he had been charged by
the senator from Massachusetts (Mr. HOar)
the day before with aiding the republican
party by blunders which furnished that
party with political capital. The charge
might be well founded so far as it concerned
alone, but 1t was doubtful
whether it would hold good as to
any other part of the country. There was
no alternative, if any reliet from taxation
was to be given, butte perfect and enlarge
the pending bill, the only proposition as
to which mad come from the republican
caucus, He commented upon changes by
the caucus in the entire bill as it came from
the house, and quoted the language OF the
New York Herald correspondent explana-
tory to these changes as showing that a
concern like the Washburn
& Wocn company, of Worcester, Massa-
chusetts, favored constituents of Senator
Hoar, would get the benefit of an in
creased duty on steel wire, while raw
was still procurable by
them at rate which was unprotected;
their interest being guarded at both ENDS.
The Mckinley bill which proposed to in
crease the tax on articles of this class up to
IS and 100 per cent. had been so charged as
to increase taxation upon southern cotton
les and steel wire, out of which barbed
fence wire, the product of this Massachu-
sets manufactory was made. Mr.. Beck
said this was remarkable showing and
while Mr.. Hoar might not have advised 1t
in the republican caucus, some OF the
of that select assembly were
advised as TO The purpose. This purpose,
as Mr.. Beck construed it, was to compel
,yery man in the south who places an iron
loop around barrel TO pay 10 per cent
luty on each ton of barbed wire made by
he Massachusetts, firm, which ne was in
ormed now received royalty of Sl2.5O per
on under a patent.
Mr.. Dawes replied that Mr.. Beck erred in
assuming that the manufacturers of wire
ence were necessarily interested in hoop
ron, and suggested that western
md southern farmers were indebted
If such manufacturers Tor reduction ia The
Mr.. Hoar, who had made Reinstatement,
in regard to the newspaper allu-
ion 60 himself, read by Mr.. Beck, that the
company referred TO had not written to
him that their interests had not occurred
o him as being specially affected by the
ill. and he did not believe they we're so
Effected.
