SENATOR HARRIS SPEAKS.
He Tells of His Interviews with
President Cleveland.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. July 21-The Com
mercial-Appeal will tomorrow print an
authorized interview with Senator Harris
by it's Washington correspondent in which
he says:
Il had several interviews with the Presi-
in the Senate. / have understood him
throughout the Senate's discussion OF the
measure, such as / would have preferred
myself. When the bill came to the Sem
ate the Democrats of the finance commit
amendments in the line of reducing rates
of taxation. but when we had prepared our
amendments to the bill we ascertained
with absolute certainty that neither the
bill as 1t came from the House nor as the
hnance committee proposed to amend it
could possibly pass the Senate. We the
Democratic members of the committee, set
about TO ascertain the ultmatum of the
four or five Democratic Senators who re-
fused to take the bill as it came from the
Senate committee, and, having learned
from from both Senator'S the, small
their support of the bill, and also having
ascertained that when Ire concessions were
made the bill in that 1or.n would be vast
improvement upon the Mckinley law we
decided that, as Objectionable as were these
concessions, even with them, the pending
bill greatly reduced tariff taxation and
that we had better accept the bill with all
its Objectionable features than TO perpet-
uate the Mckinley Jaw with it's much
higher rates and multiform obnoxious fea-
lures. The Democrats of the finance COM
mittee reported these concessions to the
Democratic Senators in caucus, and the
reasons why they had been made, all the
Democrats being present except Mills and
Irby and, with the exception of Hill the
Democratic Senators unanimously agreed
TO make the concessions ana pass the bill
The concessions thus agreed upon were in
corporated into the BILL and in that form
ii passed the Senate
Il had two interviews with the President
since these concessions were agreed TO and
before the passage of the bill, and one in
terview after the bill had passed and gone
TO the conference committee of both houses
and my most distinct understanding was
that, while the President regretted even as
/ regret, the necessity for making such con-
cessions. he thought il wise to pass the
bill, and so advised, inasmuch as IL ma
terially reduced the 7tes of tariff taxation
imposed by the existing law"
Referring TO Caffery and Blanchard who
are demanding further concessions and
threatening TO defeat 4e bill if they are
not granted. Senator Harris said emphat-
ically: They have secured their utmost
limit. If they persist in their demands they
will be the sufferers While they might
delay the final passage OF the bill thereby
they cannot defeat IL; for as certain as
they pursue this course. that certain will
they lose their differential sugar bounty
altogether The finance committee will now
fight ii out on this line"

HOTEL In TROUBLE.
Guests of the Fashionable Metropole, of
Chicago, Didn't Pay Their Bills.

CHICAGO, July 21.-Following the issuing
of an attachment by Frederick NJ. Smith &
Co., game dealers, on the fashionable Ho-
tel Metropole, on Michigan boulevard, the
hotel company to-day confessed judgment
on two notes. one for s25.4ss and the other
for sl9,7i6.
Secretary Stagg said that the company
would be able to meet its obligations and
continue business without interruption.
The assets of the company. he said, covered
the liabilities several times over, but the
failure of the guests TO pay board bills
had embarrassed the hotel temporarily.
The Hotel Metropole was built three years
20, and is valued at S150OOO. 1t is owned
by the Hotel Metropole Company, which
has a capital stock Of 100000 This after
noon the judgment creditors filed a bill for
a receiver for the hotel company.

pressed upon Congress the Importance
of abandoning specific duties and max
ing tariff for revenue with ad valo-

had not one specific duty in all its

of revenues to the Treasury that in

the tariff of 1916, was exclusively ad
