In the consideration of the Kyle resolution on
Hawaii yesterday sharp verbal encounter oc-
CURED between Senators Harris and Hoar. Mr..
Hoar was disposed to continue the debate. He

only OF tho Senate but of the country, that there
should be no interference by the United States
with the domestic affairs of Hawaii
Mr.. Morgan, chairman of the Foreign Rotations
Committee, fully indorsed what Mr.. Hoar had
said. and the latter was proceeding TO say that
he hoped Mr.. Norgnn's Endorsement OF his state
ment would echo around the world, when Mr.,
Harris, who had grown very impatient, broke in
and declared that the tariff bill was before the
senate and further debate on this subject was
out of order
Mr. Hoar llared up. He protested in vigorous
terms against what he termed these repeated
"aucry and discourtoous lectures from the
Senator from Tennessee.
1.-The tarin bill is before the Senate" retorted
Mr.. Harris, elm phaiically, land the Senator from
Massachusetts is violating the rules by continu-
ing tine debate on resolution that has Just gone
over. As far as the courtesy of the Senator from
Tennessee is concerned" he added in withering
tones, "he owes less courtesy to the Senator from
Massachusetts than any other Senator on the
floor"
.'If the Senator from Tennessee owes anybody
any courtesy" retortci Mr. Hoar in kind, ''he is
a hopeless bankrupt; he could not pay one-thou-
sandth of mill on the dollar
He could pay as much as the Senator from
Massachusetts" returned Mr.. Harris, and with
Later in the day pleasant incident occurred

Last night just before adjournment Mr. Hoar re-
ferred to Mr. Harris the drum major" of the
Democratic side The passage at arms in the
early part of the day between the Massachusetts,
and Tennessee Senators was the direct outgrowth
of this remark. AS Mr.. Platt finished few re-
marks Mr. Harris arose to move to lay the Al
drich amendment on the table Mr. Hoar crayed
Nr Harris indulgence for thirty seconds to reply

from Massachusetts" said Mr. Harris with i'm
posing Difference, Il yield thirty seconds to
him"
Mr. Hoar, who appreciated the cause of Mr.
Harris temper. said pleasantly that since the
Senator was so kind he would ask for add-
tional thirty seconds. Mr. Harris bowed an i'm
pressive assent Then Mr.. Hoar stretched his
hand across the breach The observation he had
made last night he said (referring 10 the appel

highest respect. not only for his kindness OF
heart, but his absolute integrity and great in
tellectual capacity. In his opinion, the Senator

bear his testimony to his high and noble quail
ties of mind and heart
The words of Mr.. Eoar evidently touched the
veteran Senator from Tennessee. The kindest
relations had always existed between Mr. Hoar
and himself, he replied. He confessed that he
had been stung to the quick last night He ac-
cepted the explanation with pleasure and graft

Democratic floor manager of the tariff bill
