statement good in reference to there being
a representative of the Standard Oil com
pany in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, or to ad
NIT that it was absolutely groundless.
lenge and declared that the com
mittee on finance would report a
Republican tariff bill designated to pro
tect and foster American industries as
against the free trade Mills tariff bill,
which was intended to and did weaken
many of the industries of this country.
The bill to be reported by the finance com
mittee would be a careful revision of the
tariff laws and of the internal revenue
laws. 1t would give to the men engaged
in the arts the use of alcohol untaxed, and
would sweep away the tobacco tax, Civ
ing that great agricultural product fair
and free play in this country" But the
committee would take its time about it.
| III the house of representatives wished to
prolong the session until the tariff bill was
reported it would have to wait until the
committee was ready to report.
Mr.. Allison also took up the same
theme.
| At the close of Mr.. Allisons speech the
resolution was laid aside without action
and the senate took up the Chinese exclu-
! sion bill. y vote was taken on Mr.. Blair s
| motion to reconsider the vote by which the
| bill was passed and it resulted-yeas IS,
| nays II. As there was no quorum voting
or likely to vote, it was arranged by unan-
imous consent that the next vote should
| be taken at o'clock Monday.
The Platt resolution was agreed to- The
joint resolution extending the appropria-
lions until the 25th Of September passed
and an order was made that when the SEN
ate adjourn today it be till Monday.
Mr.. Payne presented a question of per
sonal privilege. He declared in reference
RI a Sta t n, ado nv Mr. HOar yaStar-
day as to his son, Oliver Payne, IN connec-
ton 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 dishonorabie
way He denied that there was particle
of foundation for the intimation that Mr..
Whitney, the secretary of the navy, was
interested in the Standard Oil company
and read that gentleman's own denial in
today's papers in which he said: II have
never owned a dollar in, nor have | every
had any relations to it. Every officer or
director is, believe, Republican, and SO
are nne-tenths of its stockholders" Mr..
Payne added that ''honor, propriety and
decency ought to compel the senator from
Massachusetts to make an apology or q re-
traction
Mr.. Hoar replied in a very indignant
manner, saying that the speech which the
senator from sOulO ldu lUuu1Stu III Ot-
longed to the foul grog shop, to the place
where ruffians and their companions con-
gregated rather than to the senate 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 senator's Reagan and
George who appeared to know all about
the subject. He has received good many
letters on the subject of standard oil, and
had one of them now before him, stating
the great danger to the Republican vote
growing out of the activity Of that COM
pany.
Mr. Payne-Will you read it?
Mr. Hoar-I will not.
Mr. Payne-I guessed you would not
Mr. Hoar proceeded to justify what ne
had said on the subjects of trusts and add
ed:"1 am not very much moved to any feel
ing that deserves to be described as indie,-
nation or anger or anything above the
feeling of contempt by the utterances that
have just come from the senator from
Ohio. The history Of that senator S &C ton
in this body is fresh in the memory of the
country"
Mr.. Payne remarked that the action Of
the senate in the matter alluded to had
been Il condemnation of Mr.. Hoar'S posi- |
sition in it, and added that if that senator
was possessed by the conceit that his par
tisan discussion were fair and honorable, |
the senator himself.
After some further remarks on each |
side Mr.. Hoar exclaimed very angrily: Mr.. |
President, this style OF behavior on the |
part of the senator from Ohio had better |
be stopped. Further on Mr. Hoar broke |
out: Mr.. President, the senator from Ohio |
is disorderly and insolent in his style of |
in terruptions. If he has anything to say |
let him rise in his place. in an orderly way !
and ask me to yield to him. 1t is certainly |
not becoming in him to ask my courtesy |
for such Interruptions The whole style of
them belong to the low groggery rather |
than to the senate.
Mr. Butler submitted to the presiding |
officer, Mr. Ingalls,, whether that style of |
debate was in order.
The presiding officer thought is was not. |
Mr. Rutler--Then | hope the chair Will |
enforce decorum.
Mr. Hoar-If l have said anything out of |
order withdraw it.
The whole colloquy. said the presiding
officer, has been disorderly from the be-
but the chair has often within the |
last week or ten days called attention to
that were disorderly and does
not desire to be called upon daily to rebuke
violations of order.
The discussion between the two senator's
continued fer some time longer and several
compliments were inter-
changed, but none more nota bic than those
already quoted.
The house bill to enlarge the duties of
the department of agriculture and to ere
ate an executive department of agriculture
was taken up, discussed at some length
and final action postponed till Monday.
Among the bills passed was the house
bill providing boards of arbitration to set
tie differences between interstate railroads
and their employees upon written applica-
lion Of either party to the controversy
The senate then adjourned until Monday
