The speaker pro tom laid before the house
the adjournment resolution of the senate.
Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee briefly 70
viewed the work Of what he termed tne
present extraordinary session OF congress-
devoting himself especially to the consider
alton of action on the tariff bill.
Mr.. Bayne, of PENNSYLVANIA, in discussing
the Mills bill, averred that the bill, as II
passed the house, was the protection and IN
spiration of the sugar trust A leading DEM
ocrat of New York, the president OF the
trust, had appeared eilher directly or mol
rectly before the ways and means commit
tee, and secured from that committee such
protection as would enable the trust TO
flourish.
Mr.. Turner, of Georgia, said that the gen.
tleman had probably forgotten that the
statement made by him had been denied BY
all the gentleman who constituted the ways
aud means committee, and as the gentleman
persisted in the statement he M. Iurnerl
would be obliged if the gentleman would
state the evidence upon which he founded 1t.
gentlemen hero that Mr.. Havemeyer ap-
peared before the ways and means commit
tee, officially, but it was admitted by men,
bers of the committee that Mr.. Havemyer
and his attorney had conversations with
them respecting the duties on sugar.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky.The
statement the gentleman has made is abso-
lufo mt That vnns{ on nm, ponnYH
Mr.. McMillan-It is q statement which
cannot be substantiated in any way in the
world, for it is absolutely devoid of all fact.
Mr.. Bayne remarked that the committee
had consciously or unconsciously after the
visit of Mr.. Hayemyer, changed the Mills
bill SO as to protect the sugar
trust The ,n bin ,spo # S1 by the
changed as to draw the line at No. ID. The
object sought by the sugar trust was to have
the line drawn at No. IL, and the result of
the change was to the advantage of the trust.
The visit of Mr.. Havemeyer and the change
in the bill was coincident.
Mr.. Turner said that the statement of the
fact made by the gentleman was untrue.
to the visit of Mr.. Hsvemeyer. He charac-
terized as extraordinary the statement made
by Mr.. Blaine in Indiana the other day upon
this subject. The statements, whether made
by the gentleman from Pennsylvania, by
by the managers of the senate bill, or by
Mr.. Blaine, were untrue.
Mr.. Bayne-Consciously or unconsciously,
the Mills bill promotes the sugar trust. IF
the gentleman disclaims the intentions to
promote the interest of the trust, he should
amend the bill 50 as to conform to the SEN
ate bill.
Mr.. E. B. Taylor said that in view of the
extraordinary statement of Mr.. Turner, and
the still more extraordinary statement of
Mr.. Breckenridge. in regard to q converse
ton with Mr.. Havemeyer, he desired to read
from the record of July 8. He quoted from
enridges, and Mr.. McComas, of Maryland,
in which he cited, Mr.. Breckenridge, of Ar
kansas, as stating he had talk with Mr..
Havemeyer about the sugar refining business,
and also Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky. as
refusing TO deny that Mr.. Havemeyer had
had hearing before the ways and means
committee. In our part Of the country, con-
tinued Mr.. Taylor, we do not particularly
pride ourselves on being chivalrous, but We
have an appreciation Of what honesty and
fair dealings are, and when Mr.. Mills tells
Mr.. Blaine that the committee on ways and
means had no audience with Mr.. Have
meyer, he tells absolute truth in words, but
a "a pause) mistake in fact.
Mr.. Breckenridge. of Kentucky, charged
that Mr.. Taylor had SO read from the record
az to give q false coloring to what he
(Breckenrldge) had said, and remarked
that that was q specimen OF the fair play
which the gentlemen said was admired in
his part of the country. It was an outrage
on decency, as well as a violation of truth,
for the gentlemen to say that Mr.. Mills,
when he denied the statement of Mr..
Blaine, had been accurate to the letter. but
false in the spirit. It was eratuitous
and without foundation, and it would stick
to the gentleman as all Intentionally false
statements did during the balance of his
public life.
The discussion between the two gentle
men became heated, and many bitter things
were said on both sides, but tho dispute
finally ended with mutual explanations and
regrets.
The senate resolution for final adjourn
ment was then concurred in. The house
then adjourned.
