The House amendments to the interstate COM
bill were nonconcurred in, and COM
mittee Of conferepce-Senators Cullom, Plat
and Harris-sppointed.
After further debate, Mr. Platss resolution
was adopted.
Mr.. Payne, rising to a question of personal
privilege, declared in reference to a statement
made by Mr.. Hoar, yesterday, as to his son, Oh
liver Payne, in connection with the Standard Oil
Company, that there was mot word OF truth
In it nor particle of foundation for the charge
He spoke of Mr.. Hoar making statements sin
. disingenuous and dlshonorable way He de-
MED that there was q particle of foundation for
the insinuation that Mr.. Whitney. the Secretary
of the Navy, was interested in the Standard Oil
Company, and read that Rentlemsn's own dis
claimsr in to-dsy's paper, IN which be said: Il
had any relations TO il. Every officer director
10, ] believe q Republican, ana so arc nine
tenths of irs stockholders.D
Mr. Payne added that 1.-THE instincts of honor,
propriety and decency ought to compel the Sem
ator from Massachusetts, TO make an apology or
rstraction"
Mr.. Hoar replied in a very indignant manner,
saying that the speech which the Senator from
Ohio had INDUCED in. belonged rather TO the
foul Rrog-shop, to the place where rufians and
their companions congreeatsd, than TO the SEN
ate Of the United States" lie said he had made
no insinuations or charges. but had merely sug-
gested a question to some half-dezen trusts to
the two Senators, Messrs. Reagan and George
had received good many letters on the subject
of the Standard Oil Company, land had one of
th,m now before him. stating the great danger
to the Republican vote growing out of the acsiv-
ity OF that company.
Mr. Payne-Will YOU read it,
Mr.. Hosr-I will not.
Mr.. Payne-I guessed you would not
Mr. Hoar proceeded TO justify what he had
said on the subject of trusts, and added: Il am
not very much moved to any feeling that de-
serves to be described indignation anger,
Or anything above the feeling of contempt, by
the utterances that have just come from the
Senator from Ohio. The history of that Sena-
tors accession to this body is fresh IN the mem
DRY of the history of the country"
Mr.. Payueremarkedt that the action Of the Sena-
tor in the matter last alluded to- had been a con-
demnation Of Dir. Hoar's position in It. and
added If that Senator was possessed by the con-
ceit that his partisan discussions were fair and
honorable. that conceir confined pretty
much TO the Senator himself.
After some further sharp remarks each
side Mr.. Hoar exclaimed very angrily: s'Mr
President this style of behavior on the part of
tbs Senator from Ohio had better be stopped.
Further on Mr. Hoar again broke out: Mr..
President, the Senator from Ohio is disorderly
and insolent in his style OF interruptions. If
he has anything to saw let him rise in bis place
in al orderly way and ask me 10 yield TO him.
IL is certainly not becoming in him to ask my
courtesy for such Interruptions The whole
STYLE OF them belongs TO the low GROCERY
rather than the Senate"
Mr. Butler submitted to the presiding officer
IMr Ingallsl whether that style Of debate was
ik .rSs-
Tho - 1siding officer thought it was not.
MFR. Batler-Then hope that the Chair will
enforce decorum-
Mr. Hoar-If have said anything out Of or
der withdraw 1t
The whole coIloauy," said the presiding
oficsr, sshas been dieorderly from the begin
ming, but the Chair has had often, within the
lat week or ten days. to call attention tc pro-
