was reported il would have to wait unit
the committee was ready to report.
Mr.. Allison also took the same ground
After describing the labors Of the Fl
nance Committee and showing that even
il there were no tariff matter pending,
Congress was not ready to adjourn on
account of the delays in the appropria'
ton biIls, he said that in view of the
surplus being reduced 10 $20,000,000,
there was not that exigcncy for u reduc'
ton OF revenue which had existed, but
that, nevertheless, a tariG bill would be
reported that would reduce the revenue
at least SGO,OOO,0OO. 1t was impossible
for him to say when that bill would
come in.
Mr.. Allison'sresolution was laid aside
without action, and the Senate took up
the Chinese bill. A vote was taken on
Blair's motion to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed, and it result

quorum voting or likely to vote it was

Platt's resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Payne, rising to a question OF per.
sonal privilege, declared in reference to
the statement made by Mr.. Hoar yester.
day, as to his son Oliver Payne, In con.
nection with the Standard Oil Company,
that there was "not Il word OF truth in
il, nor particle Of foundation for the
charge" He spoke of Mr., Hoar as ma
king statements Sin disingenous and
dishonorable way" He denied that
there was particle OF foundation for
the insinuation that Mr.. Whitney, the
Secretary OF the Navy, was interested in
the Standard Oil Company, and read
that gentleman's own disclaimer in to-
days paper, in which he says; 81 have
never owned q dollar in. nor have ! ever
had any relations to 1t. Every officer

Mr.. Hoar replied in very indignant
manner, saying that the speech which
the Senator from Ohio had INDUCED in
belonged rather to the foul grog shop,
to the place where rufEians and their
companions congregate, than to the Sem
ate OF the United States. He said he
had made no insinuations or charges,
but had merely suggested question as
to some half dozen trusts, to the two
Senators Reagan:and Gormanl who ap-
peared TO know all about the subject.
He had received n good many letters on
the subject of the Standard Oil Com

him, stating the great danger to the Re-
publican vote growing out OF the activity

After some further sharp remarks on
each side Mr.. Hoaf exclaimed, very

behavior on the part OF the Senator from
Ohio had better be stopped"
Further on Mr.. Hoar again broke out:

whole style OF them belongs to the low

Mr.. Butler submitted to the presiding
officer (NIr. Ingalls, whether that style
OF debate was in order. The presiding
officer thought it was not
"Then hope" said Mr.. Butler, "that
the chair will force decorum."
"If have said anything out Of ORDER"
said Mr.. Hoar, 81 withdraw it."
"The whole ColloQuy," said the pre-
siding officer, "has been disol derly from
the beginning, but the chair has had
often within the last week or ten days
to call attention to the proceedings that
were disorderly, and does not desire to
be called upon daily to rebuke violations

The disputation between the two sen-
