course, in making the bluff which he
makes now"
DO not let him bluff YOU" said Mr..
Gray. without rising
Il do not think l will" Mr.. Hill said.
Call him, " MIR. Gray suggested, amid
laughter.
The Senator from Delaware, " Mr.. Hill
remarked, lis more used to those figures
of speech than am. | suggest to the
Senator from maryland to try me; re-
move the duty on these raw materials;
make sugar free; take off the one-eighth
of cent pound diferential; relieve
this bill from the suspicion and scandal
attached to 1t; place all these articles on
the free list and then | will talk with
you about how you vote and 1 vote"
Laughter and applause.
CAESARS ASSASSINATION.
Then Mr.. Hill recalled the fact that
MIR. German had referred to him Yester
day as playing the role of Iago, and he
said that that reference to Shakespeare
reminded him of the great senatorial con-
spiracy many centuries ago when
senatorial cable compassed the
death of q great Roman emperor.
If he Mr.. Hill were disposed to make
comparisons. he might speak of the dis
tinguished senator from Maryland as
the lean and hungry Cassius." Laugh
ter. Senators would recollect that Caesar
said of him, He thinks toe much. Such
men are dangerous" Laughter and he
might speak of the senator from Arkan-
sas MIR. Jones' as Marcus Brutus, "Hon-
est Brutus." Here he paid a compliment
to Senator Jones for mis- wonderful pa
thence and sagacity in the management of
the bill, and said that that senator had
alone the esteem and respect of his coun-
trymen everywhere. And so he would
call him Honest BrutuS"
"Cassius," said he with a malicious
tone and look, Il have already referred
to. Loud laughterl. Then there was
Casca. 'envious Casca' meaning Vest
who struck the first blow. Trebonius
represented the senator from Indiana Mr..
voorhees, and CHINA, the distinguished
senator from Tennessee MIR. Harrisl.
Mr.. President" he concluded, when yes
terday they struck at our President and
sought so strike him down, they made the
same plea which the conspirators of old
made-'not that they loved Caesar less,
but that they loved Rome more Not
that they loved Cleveland less, but that
they loved their party and the public
more. And | can say, with Marc Antony,
What private griefs they have, alas, l
know not. They are all wise and honor
able men. %
With this comparison of Shakespeare
play of Julius Caesar" to the attack on
President Cleveland, Mr.. Hill closed his
speech, resuming his seat amid acclaim
tions of applause.
CAFFERY DEFENDS THE PRESIDENT.
MIR. Caffery followed with motion to
instruct the Senate conferees to insert in
| the sugar schedule provision to pay to
the sugar producers of the United States
| for 1894 bounty of nine-tenJhs of a cent
| pound on sugar testing not less
than 80 degrees by the polariscope, and
| of elght-tenths of cent for
sugar testing not less than 80 degrees. He
| began his speech by defending the Presi-
| dent in connection with the Wilson letter,
and declared there was nothing in that
! letter which the President was not per-
fectly justified IN saying, and nothing in
! it that assailed in the slightest degree
the honor of the Senate or of any senator
| Without closing his speech, Mr.. CAT
! ferry gave way to a motion to adjourn-so
that the democratic senators might hold
! a caucus-and then, at 3;05 o'clock, the
Senate adjourned till tomorrow at noon.
