AS he was saying this there were demonstra- tioas of approval in the gallery that broke finally into applause. suggestion from MT. Hawley. who was in the chair. that the gal- leries should be cleared upon Q repetition of the o1else was jeered and hissed
 Mir. Hill then proceeded. in impassioned tones, to say that in the last half century the senate chamber had witnessed great scenes and great debates. but yesterday. in the presence of great crowd. conspicu- ous senatorial leader of the democratic party had summoned senator after senator, with the formality of judicial proceeding. to put the president of the United States on trial by inn peachment. Those senators detailed private conversations with the president. They ad- mitted that the president at all times urged free raw material. Yet they inferred or con- cluded. or supposed that he wanted the senate bill. and in view of this apprehension of the presidents wishes, it was but natural he should write an honest. frank. manly letter to Chairman Wilson. Surely the president could never have said anything to these senators, which bound him irrevocably to the senate bill, as they would have 1t understood.
 MIR. CLEVELAND ALWAYS SINCERE.
 ''1 have known him long and we'll" continued MT. Hill, and whatever have been our diff ferences, one thing know well of him, he con- siders public, questions slowly. deliberately, honestly. sincerely. He says but little. He weighs all carefully
 The president did not indulge in idle or ran- dom comment. added MT. Hill. These sena- tors, therefore. had discussed subject in gen. eral terms. They had not received the ma tured and well-weighed opinion of the pres- dent. He had not attempted to pass in delib- crate Judgment on propositions they presented to him.
 MT. Hill defended himself against the refer- ences of MT. German and other senators con- nO is tinn fhn rfH h ua ferred to his past speeches in the line of tariff reform. In them he never failed to insist the democratic principle of free raw material.
 1.-The senator tmeaning MT. Gorman) says l am an opponent of this bill Then let it be so." said Mir Hill. with vehemence. Yes. l am in opposition to this present bill. The people are opposed to it. If. therefore. am opposed to it, l md myself in good company"
 While Mr. Hill was saying this MT. German arose from his seat and went about on the dem ocratic side, holding whispered conferences with all his colleagues.
 Continuing. Mir. Hill. again defined his atti- tude in opposition to the income tax, after which he pointed out the inconsistency of his democratic colleagues when they placed duty on coal and iron on the ground of revenue and left wool untaxed. revenue tariff bill must be consistent. His own idea was that all arti- cles should bear their due proportion of taxa tlon. except the necessaries of life. like tea, coffee. sugar, etc., unless the absolute exigen- cfes of the treasury demanded revenue duty on sugar.
 Mir German had said yesterday in charac- terizng him (HilD an opponent of this bill, that he could danee waltz down the aisle with the senator from Rhode Island CMr. AL drich).
 MT. Hill said he was not aware that he had been waltzing with Mir. Aldrieh. but he remem. bered last summer when the senator from Maryland tMr. Gorman) was waltzing down the aisle with MT. sherman in the fight to repeal the Sherman silver bill. The New York sena- tor said this was biting sarcasm, and then re- called the fact that his colleagues who were now prophesying defeat of this tariff bill were then loudly proclaiming that unconditional re- peal would never pass: that the struggle must be compromise
 The president was then the bold and un- finching champion of unconditional repeal. You said it could not pass.' said MT Hill turning to the democratic side. but it did pass. and tell you that now. while this com promise bill may pass do not believe it will"

 He then referred to MT. Germans assertion yesterday that the Maryland senator. Mir Brice of Ohio, and Mir. smith. of Delaware had promised the Louisiana senators duty on sugar during the campaign of 1892 He doubted their authority to con- strue platforms. He, for one. would refuse to be delivered. He thought that if Mir. Cleve- lands interference was complained of, the best way to avoid such an entanglement in the fu- tu~e was ito keep away from the White House. as do - Laughter
 The idea that these old political foxes had gone to the White House and had misunder- stood the president was absurd. IL was childish for them to come back here and plead that they had been overreached by one ambitious president.
 T shnll vote to perfect this bill" continued Mir. Hill. Il shall vote for free coal. free iron ore and free sugar"
 If the senate recedes from every amend- ment placed upon the bill when it came from the house." interrupted Mir. German, will you vote fori "
 II will cross that bridge when l come to it. replied Mir. Hill.
 Mir. Hill closed his speech with as keen piece of satire has been heard during the debate
 The senator from Maryland has sought to term me the Iago of the senate said he. T might respond with drafts upon Shakespearean characters. In that case could term the senator from Maryland as the Cassius of the senate. lGreat laughter. We all recall Cassius. the lean and hungry Gas sius.' CMr. Hill leaned over and addressed himself almost directly to Mir. GormanD And the senator from Arkansas would call Marcus E utus. IL is the senator from Arkansas who has labored so earnestly for this bill. He is the honest Brutus of the senate. Long laugh teri. And Casca is the name of the senator who struck the first blow of Friday last (Mr. vest Trebonius is the senator from Indiana, .tcsty. yet earnest. and Metellus Climber is the senator from Tennessee tMr. Harris).
 Having thus characterized the senators amid great laughter. Mir. Hill added: We all re- member the cabal which struck down Caesar, and when on yesterday these senators sought to strike down our president. they made the mistake that had been made before. Not that they loved Caesar less. but that they loved the senate compromise more"
 Then. pausing for moment, MT. Hill closed with sarcastic deliberation: But l can say
