WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22-Scna.
Cor Gorman's speech was the feature Of
the days session Of tho senate. Mr.. Cor
man and Mr.. Brlcc havo been credited
by the opposition with the joint author
ship OF tho compromise amendments
which consolidated the Democratic side
and Mr.. German especially has been
subjected to much criticism, both in
and out OF the senate. The speech to-
dry, replying in N Casure to tho attack
which has been made upon him, OK
planning tho necessity for the compro-
missing. and defining the theory upon
which the modified bill now before tho
senate was constructed, attracted in
tense interest. It was regarded as an
exceedingly ablo exposition OF the posi-
tion OF the conservatives.
Mr.. Gorman's speech furnished texts
for the Republicans for the remainder
OF tho day. His statement that ma
jority OF tho SENATE would support the
bill was put to tho tcst by Mr.. Teller,
whose purpose was to 'smoke out" any
latent opposition on the Democratic
side.
Mr.. Gorman's statement was Justified
by the vote. however, as the Colorado
senator's motion 10 lay the tariff bill on
the table was met by an unbrokcn
Democratic front. Both Senator Hill,
of New York, and Senator Irby, OF
South Carolina, whose positions have
been tho subject OF gossip from time to
time, voted with their Democratic COL
leagues, as did the three Popultsts, in.

day were as follows:
Railway bars, 7 rails, etc, 7-2o OF a
cen. per pound; black taggers. be-
tween 10 and 20 wire cuage. 7-lO OF one
cent per pound; between 20 and 25 wiro
guage, $40; thinner than e5, lilo
cents; Iron and steel plates coated
with zinc. or other metals, except tin or
.erne plates, ! cent more than rates in
preceding paragraph; sheet iron or
steel, polished, II cents per pound.

went over until tomorrow and then tho
tariff bill was taken up. Senators Jones
and Platt discussed the 1T" rail amend
ment for time, after which Senator
German. pale from his recent illness,
took the floor. He spoke slowly and in
a low tone OF voice. Mr.. German re-
hearsed the difficulties that had con-
ironted tho Democratic party in deal

These difficulties were not in opposi.

the Mckinley bill and this Is only May.
Tho Wilson bill, he said, had boon re-.
ported to tho house before its effect
upon existing industries could be pro-
porly studied; an imperfect measure
that not only failed to meet tho tronsury
demands but actually increased the de-
fclt created by tho Republican prohibl-
tive duties.
There was no expectation that 1t
would become q law unchanged. Tho
senate had always perfected such bills.
Yet, no sooner did tho finance commit
tee begin its work than the cry for "ac-
ton" was renewed with extraordinary
yiyor, and the Democratic senators were
informed that any change would be set
down as 70 betrayal Of the party's pur-
poses" aud that every senator who
