 Cleveland. Senators Charge the President With Want of Stability. He Is Said to Have Expressed Satis- faction With the Bill Which He
 Now So HotIy Censures.

By the Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, July 23.-The struggle over the tariff bill was resumed in the senate this morning when Senator Voorhees, called for the conference re- port upon it. Senator German was the first speaker. His address was care fully prepared and it's allusions to the president were of character contained in no speech by any senator since the days of Andrew Johnson.
 The senator delivered a defiance in dramatic tones. The infamous calum. nies heaped on the senate, he said, called for a plain unvarnished state. ment to the American people and he would make 1t without malice and in patriotism. The Democratic senate went to work to save the country and continue party power when suddenly came the presidents letter. Ut was the most unwise, extraordinary and un- called for communication" said Cor man i'll bitter tones, "that ever came from president of the United States. IL placed the senate in 8 position where it's dignity and honor were at stake. ' German went on to detail how objec- tions were overcome, dIsaffected Demo- crats won over; Secretary Carlisle gave the bill a sweeping endorsement and the senate believed he spoke largely for the president. German and other sen ators heard the president say that he would favor almost any compromise to get the bill through. (Great applause.
 German resumed with one of the most sensational references of the day. The senate has been traduced and an attempt has been made to "try and gibbet them before the country" Such charges from distinguished sources must be met and refuted. The charges have been echoed by the man who chirped when he talked. The senators who had been traduced had fought for tariff reform when ''cowards in high places would not show their heads" The only reason for the stand was that the one responsible was consumed by vanity" in having the country regard him as the author of all that was right in tariff reform.
 Each thrust at the president caused a commotion in the gallery. Referring to Hills speech on the Cleveland letter German said, ''that was the only com. fort the New York senators had re. ceived from this administration" Hill rose and good naturedly remarked that it was. German claimed that the president violated the constitution 1T his acts and he denied that the Demo- 1 cratic pla atform declared for free iro1 ore and coal.
 In his speech Senator German drew graphic picture of the anxiety with which the country awaited the fate of the tariff bill. The idle factories closed workshops and the unemployed Further suspense was neither to the best interests of the country nor of the Democratic party. He hoped that the senate would meet the situation as be. comes patriotic men and duty-bounC Democrats. It was idle for him to ado anything to what had been said las Friday by the senator from New Jersey Smith.
 In the house there vas an over whelming Democratic majority. Here 1 in the senate the Democrats were at the outset confronted with the fact that there were forty-four Democrats. A bill must be framed which will secure the support of all these senators, all ot whose votes, save one, were necessary to pass it. That one vote was lost The senator from New York, (Mr. Hill. had from the beginning opposed tht bill openly and manfully.
 The Democrats had gone manfully | and had accomplished it by many sacrifices, almost at a sacrifice of prin ciples. No legislative body in this country had ever been confronted witt such condition. The representative of the states of New York, Virginia Ohio and Maryland at the outset an nounced that the house bill was SC radical, so destructive to the interests of the people that they would not sup port it.
 He paid high tribute to Senators Vest, Jones, Voorhees, and Harris Those brave men whose laborious worl had at last accomplished the feat of ad iusting these differences and had made the passage of the bill possible.
 Senator Vest then arose and began by saying that he had not seen Presi dent Cleveland himself since the repea of the Sherman act, but he had con versed with Secretary Carlisle abou the bill. His colleague, MT. Jones, hat seen both Mr. Carlisle and Mir. Ceve land. They had both declared that tn bill was acceptable to them. MT. Jone said the president had said: Il an willing to do anything to pass the bil through congress-" ''The president letter." said MT. Vest, twas the frs intimation that the president wa against it.''
 Mir. Jones then took the floor an stated that he had proposed an amend ment in consultation with Mir. Carlisle ''I saw the president" said he land h told me that Mir, Carlisle had eXplaine
