A War Of Words on the Tariff Be.

Senators Would Like to Appeal

Speak Against the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-When the
senate was called to order today, Sena-
tor Sherman. from the committee on
foreign rela tions. reported bill for the
correction OF an error in the Bering sea
bill recently passed.
By the substitution of the word ''eX-
elusive" for Inclusive" the intention
of the act. he said. had been entirely
changed. The bill vas passed.
The resolution introduced recently by
Senator Allen calling on the secretary
of the treasury for the amount of appro-
priat!ons made and expended for the
improvement of rivers and harbOrs
from March 3. 1887, to date. was passed.
The Peffer resolution for the appoint
ment of a reception committee for
CoxeV's Army OF the Common Veal, to
be known in senate pariance as ''the
committee on communications" came
up few minutes before o'clock, but
in those few minutes it received some
very rough handling. Senator Hawley,
who dealt the blows, said he would have
preferred to have some member of the
dominant party in the senate take the
floor. for certainly the speech yesterday
of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, ought
not be allowed to 60 forth to the country
as representing, i'll any degree, the
views of the senate. He criticised Sen-
ator Allen for his reference to
THE COMMON WEAI. ARMY
as "the people, and also for his al.
lusions to the district militia under
command of Gen. Ordway. He ven
tured to say that Gen. Urdway had
given more study to the question than
had the senator from Nebraska, and 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 CON-
ing with the intention of prostrating
themselves at the feet of congress, hut
to impress them by their presence. In
conclusion Mr.. Hawley said there were
many other things in the speech Of Mr..
Allen which should he refuted. but he
did not propose to do it. II am sorry,"
lie said. but feel bound TO say it, that
the speech Of the senator from Nebras-
ka was such as would he received with
applause by a gang of anarchists. and
ii would not require microscope to
discover in it the microbes and bacllli
Of anarchism.
Senator Allen was about to reply to
Senator Hawley, but the hour of l
O'clock having arrived. the resolution
went tver without action, and the tariff
bill being laid before the senate. Mr.. Gal
linger.of New Hampshire, spoke against
the bill. In the course of Senator Gal
linger's speech
A RUNNING CONTROVERSY
came up between Mr.. Gray, Of Della
ware, and Mr.A!drich, of Rhode Island,
the latter asserting and the former de-
nying that in the recent elections the
people had expressed their appreciation
of the kind of tariff reform now before
congress. When Mr.. Gray said the only
way to settle the dispute was by popu.
lar vote, Mr. .Gallluger asked ii Mr..
Gray would agree to postpone further
action until the people could be heard
from in November.
II would not dare to go home," re-
piled Mr. Gray, 'if did agree
Mr.. Aldrich reminded Mr.. Gray that
the Democratic press Of the country had
had nothing but words of praise for the
two speeches in opposition to the bill
from The Democratic side of the cham
ber.
Their appeal to put the bill into shape
to conform 10 the Democratic pulley had
Gratis OF the North.
The senator from Rhode Island is
building great superStructure OH the
two speeches to which he alludes," re-
piled Mr.. Gray. "Dut understand butn
those speeches, certainly the last, were
confined to discussion of the income
tax feature, which has about as much
relation to the tariff reform measure de-
manded by the people in 1892 as an
ukase by the Russian emperor, and if
the senator from Rhode Island builds
any hope OH that foundation We will
have to sympathiZe with mis- diSappoint-

IL shall be very much surprised, ,:said
MIR. Aldrich, ''if great many senators
OH the opposite side don't soon come TO
the conclusion that

is very Important feature Of the tariff

''Is 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 Gallinger was followed bv
Senator Mcmillan, of Michigan. who
said: "a comparison between the Will
SON bill as it comes from the house and
the new Canadian tariff shows how
close an understanding must have ex.
listed between the trainers of the two
measures" He pointed out, in detail.

tween the two bills. In closing. Mr..
Mcmillan said: mo American can

Senator Dolph followed in a speech
against the bill in which he incidentally
paid high tribute to ex-President Har-
rison. AT O'Clock Senator Doiph
