Senator David r. Hill was besIeged with vis-
itors all dav yesterday at tho Hotel New Meth
erland. and in the evening he departed for
Washington. Most OF the Senator's visitors
came to talk with him about proposed amend
ments to the Wilson Tariff bill which Is now
before the Senate. These visitors came prin-
cipally from the Hudson River countless aud
oil protested against the various schedules AZ
fecting their interests The visitors from Ore
ange county we're especially candid SAYING
that some OF them had been opposed to Sena-
tor Hill politically and always strongly partial
to President Cleveland but they added that 10
their wishes could be conserved In the tariff
problems. they would unhesltstingly become
friends OF the senior Senator
This experience was the most refreshing In
Senator Hills long career In public life
II was 90 refreshing that the Senator spoke
rather sharply to this class OF his visitors. He
informed them that he considered this narrow
view OF the CON m erclal situation.
On Saturday Walter Stanton. for eight years
the strongest OF all strong Cleveland men,
called with q delegation OF fellow dry goods
men to protest against the ad valorem system
OF duties called for by the Wilson Tariff bill.
To none OF his visitors has Senator Hill given
the slightest Indication OF his future inten-
lions. He said yesterday that II would un-
doubtedly take three months for the Senate
and the conference committees to dispose OF
the Tariff bill. In other words. the senator
believed that the real verdict would not b
known much before July ].
There was another question which has dis
turbed Senator Hill on this visit very much
than the o. In
