bill. bitter personal debate between
Senator Hoar and Senator Payne, and
| the vote on the motion to reconsider the
passage of the Chinese bill, the motion
being again postponed to Monday, be-
cause no quorum voted on it to-day.
The house bill to grant the
right of way through the mill
tary reservation at Fort Morgan
to the Birmingham, Mobile q Navy
Cove Harbor railway was passed. De-
| bate on Mr.. Platts resolution referring
to the copper syndicate was resumed by
| MIR. Vest, who read telegram from
| Representative Scott, saying that the
statement from the New York World,
to the effect that he had subscribed
| $4,000 to the Democratic campaign
| fund, was untrue. Mr.. Vest SAD
| further that the World was not Demo-
I cratic paper. Mr.. HOar said that the
point he had desired to make Yesterday
was that the great monopolieS OF the
country were on the Democratic side,
and were contributing to the Demo
cratic campaign fund. AS far as per-
| sonal contributions to campaign funds
were concerned, he expected to con-
| tribute to the extent OF his ability ana
| beyond his ability before this campaign
| was over.
Mr.. Vest sent TO the clerks desk and
! had read the celebrated 'fat-frylng'
circular of the Republican league. He
wanted to know where this fat bad
| come frOm-these millions which had
been gathered up for years under the
| tariff system. From this subject Mi.
! Vest turned to that of the delayed SEN
| ate tariff bill and asked what had be-
come of the promises of the Republican
marty that the tariff should be reformed.
| He doubted very much whether the
| finance committee would report back
| any bill. Coming back to the charges
made bv Senator HOar yesterday, he
called upon him to prove that there was
representative of the Standard vi
company in the cabinet. or acknowledge
that statement groundless. Mr.. Sher-
man took the floor and
REPLIED TO THE ACCUSATION
| that the Republican party had been
| tardy in reporting tariff measure. lie
said that the finance committee would
report as'Republican tariff bill designed
| to protect and foster American indus
| tries" as against the free trade Mills
| tariff bill, which was intended to, and
did. weaken many of the industries of
the country. He said that the bill to be
reported would be careful revision of
the tariff laws: that it would give to
men engaged in the arts the use of al
cohOl untaXed, and sweep away the
tobacco tax, giving the great agrlcul-
tural product fair and free play III the
country. The committee, he SAID,
would take its own time. If the house
wished to prOlong the session until the
tariff bill was reported, it would have to
ann,,nittnn rnaHU IN
report. Mr.. Sherman said that the DEM
Ocratic party had been fourteen years
preparing bill, and now, forsoOtb, it
must tax the Republican party with de-
Law in bringing in a bill. The Demo-
cratic party had sent to the senate an
abortion of a bill after it had been six
YES, eight months incubating. The Re-
publican party was DESTROYS of report
ING complete and studied measure,
and it was tainted with the fact that 1t
had been sixty days preparing it. When
the senator from Missouri had waited
six months he might have some excuse
for complaining. Mr.. Sherman re-
fprred several times to the Democratic
doctrine as one
VERGING ON FREE TRADE,
and said that if the principles enunci-
ated in the presidents message of last
December and his recent letter Of ac-
ceptance were enforced, then all exist
ing tariff laws should be repealed. Sena-
| tor Vest, IN reply, defended the admin
istration and its tariff policy. He was
! followed by Senator Allison, who at
| tributed the prOlongatiOn of the session
to the delay in the passage of the appro-
| priatiOn bills, for which the house was
responsible. He said that as the sur
| plus had been reduced to 0,000,000.
| there was not that eXigency for the re-
| ductiOn of the revenue which had eX-
| listed. Nevertheless, tariff bill would
! be reported which would reduce the rev.
enue at least S60,000,000. 1t was impOS-
| sible for him to say when the bill would
come in. 1t would be reported to the
| full committee at the earliest possible
moment How long the full committee
would take to consider it he could not
| saw. but he would assure the senator
| (Mr. Vest that it would be reported.
| During his remarks Senator Allison
| said, in reply to question from Mr..
| Butler, that he thought the bill would
be reported before the next presiden-
| tial election. If the senator, he said,
| thinks that the Republican party shrinkS
from the responsibility, in any sense, of
discussing the tariff question in all its
details he makes a great mistake.
! Shortly after 2 O'Clock vote was taken
| on Senator Blair'S motion to reconsider
the vote by which the
CHINESE BILL WAS PASSED.
The vote resulted Is ayes, II nays.
No quorum having voted, the vote was
| postponed until Monday at l O'Clock.
| The house amendments to the interstate
| commerce act were nOn-cOncurred in,
| and Messrs. CullOm, Plat and Harris
were appointed as conference commit
| tee. Discussion on the Platt resolution
was resumed. Mr.. HiScOck said that so
| far as he was concerned every industry
| in the country should have complete
| hearing before the finance committee.
| He did not propose to join in the report
of bill as political eXigency. The.
good of the country had to be first
| looked to. That could be achieved by
| the Republican party, but not if as a
political eXigency it stopped to pre-
| sent a bill to the country before
that bill was perfectly prepared.
He was perfectly willing to sit here
until November in the preparation of
that bill. The committee on finance
would be able to bring a perfect bill
| before the senate, but it would not be
to-day or tomorrow. He intimated
| that it would reduce the revenue quite
as much as the Mills bill proposed; but
| that it would do so by a reduction of in
ternal revenue taxes. As to import
duties, some would be reduced and some
increased. At the close of Mr.. Han
cocks remarks, Mr.. Platt's resolution
was adopted. Mr.. Payne rising to
question of personal privilege, declared
| in reference to statement made by Mr..
Hoar yesterday as to his son Oliver
Payne, lin connection with the Standard
| Oil company that there was not word
of truth in it, nor particle of foundation
for the charge. He spoke of Mr.. Hoar
as making statements in
| DISINGENUOUS AND DISHONORABLE
way" He denied that there was par
ticle of foundation for the ''inSinuatiOnn
