that il any explanation could he
given Of that transaction, or excuse
for that most scandalous conduct on
the part Of the government officials,
he would be glad 10 hear it. There
were 100000 of these undelivered
patents, and this firm would, at the
low rate mentioned in its letter,
wrench 1000, 200 from the citizens
unjustly and without authority. He
understood that one member Of the
firm, Thomas IT. Mckee, was an
officer OF the House Of Representa-
tiyeS.
The matter was discussed at some
length by Teller, Paddock and Cock
FELL.
Paddock stated that under the
present administration the number
Of undelivered patents had been re-
duced by some 10000.
The Senate bill to establish a
United States Land Court was then
discussed until . p. NJ, when the
Postal and Ship subsidy bills came
up.
Vest continued his argument
against the bills. He was as an
GiOus as Mr.. Blaine to bring back
the SUPREMACY Of the United States
on the ocean and to open the ports
OF South America 10 American pro-
| ducts, but the question was as 10 the
means to bring about that end. The
Senator from Maine Frey wanted
10 subsidize; he Nest) opposed them
in toto.
Vest went on to speak Of the late
Pan-A merican Conference and sent
20 the clerks desk and had read a
clipping from the New York Herald
Of It's BuenOs Ayres correspondent,
to show what Senior Pierra, who
accompanied the Argentine dele
gates to Washington, thought Of the
conference, Of Blaine and the United
States delegates.
As soon rs the clerk finished
reading
THIS VERY CAUsIIC CRITICISM,
Hawley asked Vest whether he
knew who wrote that; whether II
was quite fair and decOrOus 10 have
printed such a mass OF irresponsible
blackguardism.
Vest replied: The gentleman's
name was given in the commJni-
cation"
Hawley-I reaiiirm what l said,
that n man who speaks as he does
Of an honorable gentleman,aEd who
says Of American colleges that de-
grees can be obtained for $50, says
wilfully that which Is false.
Nest-He is secretary Of society
in Buenos Ayres and accompanied
the delegation from the Argentine
Republic 10 the Pan-A mericau con-
ference.
Hawley-And you may add TO
that description that he y a liar and
n blackguard.
Vest said: ''The article i criti-
cism Of a public assembly, and had
IL read 10 show the impression MAZE
uIOn prominent man who attend
ed that conference in respect 10 the
personnel Of the conference and its
objects. IL was in order 10 show |
that no winning and dining, no pub

interest would affect our commercial |

America. | have head that article |
read, as 4 communication published |
all over the country and in South |
America. to show that the men who |
come here from South America are |
among the kecneSt, shrewdcst ami |
most far-seciug merchants Of the |
world, and that when We, 10y any /
international American conference,
or 10y any other spectacular manner,
seek TO draw them away from self. |
we are simply footing ourselves and |
throwing away the money Of ;he |
puhlic.''
Vest went on 10 say that II "A sub
sidy system were established, IL |
should he made equal. Cattle deal
ers should he subsidized. II he |
wanted To emasculate and ener- !
waite the people nc would teach them
10 depend on the government.
Wilson Md. addressed the Sem
ate ia opposition to the bills, which
went over.
The conference report on tie agTi-
cultural appropriation bills was pre-
sented and aSTeed TO.
Adjourned till Monday.
