etabie substances from the free list was re-

Mr. Bayne quoted Mr.. Scott's remarks of
yesterday as an extraordinary confession

OF the probable effect of the passage of the
Mills bill on the industries of the country.
motion to strike out burlsps from the
free list WAS rejected.
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, moved to
place upon the free list bags of jute for
grain, which was agreed.
Quite a sharp colloquy ensued between
Messrs. Spinola, Weber and Nutting of
New York, Brumm of Pennsylvania, and
Russell of Massachusetts, on the merits of
President Cleveland and Governor Hill in
which Mr.. Spinola commended Governor
Hill for the veto of the bill to prevent cor

were so fairly conducted as in New York.

asserted Mr. Spinola, ''can defeat David B.
Hill for Governor, and you have no man
you can put on your ticket who can carry
the State against Grover Cleveland"
Mr.. sutting asked If the gentleman did
not know that there were 600, 900 workmen
in the State Of New York.
Mr.. Spinola: YES, and they vote the
Democratic ticket; and venture 10 make
the prediction that New York City will
roll up GO, 600 majority for the Democratic
candidate"
MIR. Nutting: "Do you mean TO say
that those 600, 1000 workmen are in favor OF
the Mills bill?''
Mr.. Spinols did not give a direct answer
to the question, though Mr.. Nutting per-
sisted in demanding one, and Mr.. Russell,
of Massachusetts,, shouted "Yesr' in the
confusion, and his reply was greeted with
applause and laughter. The clause placing
on the free list machinery for making cot
ton bagging was reached, and Mr.. Lnd, of
Minnesota, moved TO include machinery
for making twine of hemp or jute butts.
Lost
The next paragraph was tin plates. Mr..
Dalzeil. of Pennsylvania, moved 10 strike il
out, and made a speech in favor of pro-
tecting this infant industry.
Mr.. McMillin opposed the the motion.
We were asked TO keep up the duty on tin
plates merely to force somebody to make il.
Mr.: fostr of Virginia, wanted it pro-
tected. The laboring people of this coun-
try lost Slo,Vp,VOO annually IN wages by

THE SENATE.
The feature of the Senate proceedings
was the speech OF Mr.. Hale on the fish |
cries treaty. |
Mr.. Sherman, from the Committee on |
Foreign Relations, reported concurrent |
requesting the President TO in /
vite negotiations with friendly govern |
msnts in behalf of arbitration. Calendar. |
Mr.. Hale called up Mr.. Morgan's resolu- |
ton as to the fishery treaty, and spoke at |
length. He said that Mr.. Morgan's speech |
last week had filled him with wonder that |
he. as q representative of his party and |
should urge the cause of |
''our friends the enemy" He recalled the |
words of Lewis Cass, of Michigan, that the |
United States got the right to fish, not |
from England, or from Canada, but from |
God Almighty, and that they meant to |
hold on to il. The treaty was a failure, |
and must inevitable be so, because neither |
the administration nor the negotiators hsd |
been able to take in the whole situation, or
consider the steady march of Canada for
the last twenty years under British tutel-
age and inspiration, making attacks upon
us under the guise of CARRYING out treaty |
and in the course of violating |
He alluded to the Canadian Pacific railway |
as being built, not for the wants of the |
country through which ii passed, for no |
towns sprang up along its line as on the |
American Pacific roads, but it was built by |
the strong hand of the Government for |
purposes military and commercial
MIR. Hale criticised the action of the
treasury department in giving "transporta-
ton in bond" privileges to the Canadian
Pacific, and to the steamship lines between
San Francisco and Vancouver, which lines |
