said Teller. entering the discussion, 'rhe
senator from Rhode Island rendered an
inquiry TO the other side Of the chamber.
After q consultation they answered the
query. No senator on that side of the
chamber dares to assert that the bill as it

Gray.

Cuilom again arose to address the mate.
when Harris asked what had become of his
request for unanimous consent to accept

Island.
II objected" said Cullom.

that the statement made by the senator
from Rhode Island was not true.
..What statement" asked Aldrich.
"The statement that amendments have
been agreed on to the pending bill, F" re-
piled Voorhees,.
''The efforts here create the impression
that new deal is being made. said Aid
rich.
''The senator from Rhode Island" said
Voorhees,, taxes the senator from New
Jersey with being destitute of knowledge.
The senator from Rhode Island is himself
a striking example of a man speaking
without any knowledge of what he is talk
ing about. The statement made by the
senator from Rhode Island is without
truth, direct or implied"
II do not know what the senator means
by having been agreed to- >" said Aldrich.
s.That is a subject which he can put his
own construction on. That amendments
have been agreed to may not be true. but
that they have oeen considered In the ma
iority of the committee is true"
THAT Is wide of the truth and 10 not
correct" declared Voorhees,.
II will leave that to be decided in the
course of events in the next few days, re-
piled Aldrich. and rested the case on that.
Cullom was recognized and spoke in op-
position to the bill. He spoke two hours
and twenty minutes. and was followed by
Dolph. who gave the fifth instaiiment OF
his speech, but soon sank into the back
ground to allow McPherson to get into q
controversy with Frye and Aidrlch. At
!, .25 o. IN. the senate adjourned.
After the incident on the floor Aldrich
said his reason for making proposition
for vote was that he wanted to demon
strate that if vote could he reached on
the house bill it could not pass. 81 made
the proposition, he added, with a view
of demonstrating by an actual test on the
floor OF the senate how idle the Democratic
platform is and how Impossible for the
party TO pass such measure as was
promised in the Chicago convention" He
said he would be entirely willing that the
vote should be taken upon has proposition
to vote upon the house bill as such. but
when it came To amending 1T, that was an
other matter. My purpose" he re-
marked, "was 30 show that those Demo
Gratis could pass no other than protective
bill. and am sure they cannot"
