conservative tariff men, as well as men,
bers Of the Finance Committee, which
was riRidly called TO account for alleged
defects in the measure.
C0nger, who since certain grades of
lumber were placed on the free list, has
been nursing his wrath, denounced the
Dill. He said great injury had been
done his constituents, and asserted that
It would be impossible for him TO vote
for the bill in its present shape.
Allison read the Michigan Senator a
homily upon unselfish party fealty BY
demonstrations of the necessity for tar
i'll revision, and the utter impossibility
OF securing it without harmonious,
united party action, involving personal
sacrifice and generous compromise.
Logan called Allison to account for
attempting to dictate to brother Sena-
tor the manner in which he should use
his judgment, or censure him for action
concerning the best interests of his con-
stitusnts. Logan was especially severe
upon the Finance Committee, express
ing the belief that the members in max
ing up the bill had served their own es-
pecial interests, to the exclusion of ev-
cry other. He warned the Committee
that they expected to secure their indi-
vidual interests in the bill without re-
gard to she desires of other Senators,
and they were mistaken.
A recess Was taken until the after
noon, whom the caucus agein met.
There was much bitter feeling dis
played at the afternoon session. Speech
es were made by Senators Hoar, ingalls,.
Aldrich, Anthony, Morrill,, Sherman
| and others, and resolution WAS passed
providing no adjournment should be
taken any day while the bill is under
consideration, except on motion of the
Senator having it in charge, and not
then unless substantial progress is made
with the schedule under consideration.
The caucus also agreed that the duty
should be ultimately reimposed on lum-
Der to please Conger. The duty ON pig
iron will be increased to $6.72 per ton,
to please Malone and Sherman. The
duty on bituminous coal will be IN
creased to 75 cents per ton, the commits
sion rate being 50 celts per ton. This
item, it is expected, will catch both the
West Virginia Senators. 1t is believed
there will be certainly five Democratic
votes for the bill.
