" AShiNOION, April <o@ w ucu eHC SSo
ate was called TO order today Mr.. Sher-
man. from the committee on foreign reia-
lions, reported bill for the correction of
an error in the Bering sea bill recently
passed. By the substitution of the word
exclusive" for Inclusive" the intention
of the act, he said. had been entirely
changed. The bill was passed.
The PETER resolution for the appoint
ment of a reception committee for Coxey'5
army of the commonweal, to be known In
senate parlauce as 1.-THE committee on
communications" came up n few minutes
before l O'Clock, but III those few minutes
1t received some very rough handling
Senator Hawley, who dealt the blows.
sad he wonid have preferred to have
some of the dominent party IN the senate
take the floor, for certsln!y the speech yes.
tdrday of Senator Allen of Nebraska ought
not TO be allowed TO go forth to the country
as representing in any degree the views of
che senate. He criticized Senator Allen
for his reference TO the Commonweai army
as the people," and also for his illusions
TO the District militia under com mand OF
General OrdvaT. He ventured to say that
General Ordway had given more study to
the question than the senator from Ne
braska and that not one step would be
taken by him except at the command of
the civil power.
These men who were coming here did
not represent the general views of the
American people; they were not coming
with the intention OF prOstrating them
selves mt the feet of congress, but to i'm
press them because of their presence.
In conclusion Mr.. Hawiey said there
were many other things in Mr.. Aliens
speech which should be refuted, but he
did not propose TO do 1t. L am sorry TO
say, he continued. but feel bound TO say
hot q <.f t-fn,
Nebraska was one such as would be re-
ceiyed with applause by gang OF an
archists, and it would not require "A
microscope to discover IN IL the microbes
and baccIli of anarchism.
Senator Allen was about to reply to Sem
ator Hawley but the hour of l o'clock
having arrived, the resolution went over
without action, and the tariff bill being
laid before the senate, Mr.. Gallnger, On.
IL } spoke against the bill.
In the course of Mr.. Gallinger's speech
running controversy came up between Mr..
Gray of Delaware, and Mr. Aldrich of
Rhode Island, the latter asserting and the
former denying that in the recent elections
the people expressed their appreciation of
the kind Of tGriff reform now before con-
gress.
When Mr. Gray said the only way to
settle the dispute was by popular vote,
Mr.. Gallinger asked if Mr., Gray would
agree TO postpone further action until the
people could be heard from in Novembe
II would not dare go home" replied
Mr. Gray. 'if did agree"
Mr.. Aldrich reminded Mr.. Gray that the
Democratic press of the country hal had
not hing but words OF praise for the two
speeches in opposition to the bill from the
Democratic side OF the chamber.
Their appeal to put the bill into shape
to conform to the Democratic policy had

of the uoIth.
The senator from Rhode Island builds a
great superstructure on TWO speeches to
which he allud-s," replied Mr.. Gray, "but
understand both those speeches, Ger
tainly the last, were confined to a discus |
sion of the income tax feature, which has
about as much relation TO the tariff reform |
measure demanded by the people in 1892 as
an ukase by the Russian emperor, aud If |
the senator from Rhode Island builds any !
hope on that foundation we will have To |
sympatbizs with mis- disappointment"
Il shall be very much surprised" said /
Mr.. Aldrich. "if u great many senators on !
he opposite side do not soon come to the |
that the income tax Is very |
important feature of the bill"
rs the senator opposed to the income |
tax?" asked Mr.. Gray.
II am opposed to the income tax and |
every other feature in the tariff bill before |
the senate" replied Mr.. Aldrich.
Senator Gailinger was followed by Sena-
tor McMiliiken OF Michigan, who said |
between the Wilson bill as il |
comes from the house and the new Cana
iian tariff shows how close an understand
ing must have existed between the trainers |
IF the two measures. He pointed out in |
ietail the terms which showed parallel |
the two bills.
Senator Dolph followed in speech |
u inst the Dill. in which h1 in cidenta al |
aid high tribute to ex-President Har-
-lson.
At 5 o'clock Senator Dolph suspended |
his speech and Will conclude tomorrow.

i've session, and at 5:55 adjourned.
