sarcasm and then recalled the fact that
his colleagues who were now ptophesy'
ing the defeat Of this tariff bill wore
then loudly proclaiming that uncondt-
tional repeal could never paasi that the
struggle must bo compounded:
Tho President was then the bold and
untlinchin9 champion OF unconditional
repeal. "You said II could not pas"
pald Mr.. Hill, turning TO the Democrat
ic side, "but Il did pass, and tell you
now that while this compromise bill
may pass, don't believe II will"
He then referred to Mr.. Germans Us.
Hertion yesterday that tho Maryland
senator, Mr. BricO and Mr.. Smith had
promised tho Louisiana senators q duty
on sugar during the campaign OF 1882,
Ho doubted their authority to construc
platforms. He for one refused TO be de-
iivorcd. He thought that II Mr.. Cleve..
lands interference was complained Of
tho best way to avoid such ontangle-
ment IN tho future was to keep away
from tho whito house, as do" Laugh
ter.
Tho idea that these old political foxcs
had gone TO the white house and had
misunderstood the President was
absurd.
1t was childish for thom to como back
hcro and plead that they had beon over
reached by one Ambitious Preaident."
II shall vote 10 perfect this bill, "con-
tinued Dlr. Hill, ~ shall vote for FREQ
coal, FREQ iron orc, and FREQ sugar."

amondmont placed upon tho bill as it

German. will you vote for h?"
II will croas.that bridge whom / got 70
It," replied Mr.. Hill, parrying tho
thrust Of tho astute senator from Mary
land. "Dut you have said." ho added,
shat tho senate will not recedo aud you
arc perfectly safein making that bluff.
"Why don't you call II. inquired Mr..
Lindsay naivoly.
"The senator understands tho terms
OF the national game bottor than do"
rctorted Mr.. Hill"
ulL1's SATIRE
Mr.. Hill closed his speech With us
keen piece OF satire as has been heard
during tho debate
"The senator from Maryland has
sought to term me tho 1ogo Of tho son.
ate, }" said he. II might respond with
drafts upon shakespearean characters.
In that case I would term the senator
from Maryland tho Cassius OF tho
senate. [Great laughter. We oil re-
call Cassius-the lean and hungry Cas-
eius."

"Aud tho senator from Arkanaas l
would call Marcus Brutus. 1t is the
senator from Arkansas who has labored
go earnestly for this bill. lie is tho
honest Brutus OF the senate. Long
laughter And Casca Is the namo Of
tho senator who struck tho first blow
on Friday last tMr. Vest} Trebonlus
is tho senator from Indiana, testy, yet
earnest, and Metcllus Climber Is tho
senator from Tenncssee" (Mr. Harris).
Having thus characterized tho scna-
tora amid gruat laughter, Mr.. Hill add
cd: "We nil remember tho cabal which
struck down Caesar, and when on yos-
terday these senators sought to strike
down our President they mado tho
mistake that had boon mado boforo.
Not that they loved Cesar lesH, but
that they loved Rome moro Not that
thoy loved tho President less, but that
thoy loved tho senate compromise
more"
Then pausing for a moment, Mr..
Hill closed with deliberstion: "Dut |
can say with Antony, 'thoy arc all
honorable mon"
CAFFERY TELLS PARTY SECRETS.
,Mr. Gallery followed Mr.. Hill, first
moving that tho contereos be instituted
to make tho following amendment:
"That tho bounty provided in said
act shall stand unrepealod to tho OK
tent that thore shall ho paid to the pro-
ducer OF sugar from beets. sorghum or
sugar Cano grown in tho United States
in the year 1894, or from maple sap
produced in tho United Statos during
the year 1894 under liconse for 1904 and
subject to the limitations now imposed
by law, on all sugar testing not less
than 90 degrees by the polariscope nine
tenths OF one cent por pound, and upon
all such sugars testing loss than 90 per
cent by tho polariHcope, and not loss
than so degrees, oightecnths OF ono
cent per pound"
Mr.. Caiiory then commended Senator
Hill for his detcnse OF the President,
and declared that thero was nothing in
tho letter which need rouse tho ire OF
the senators who fclt themselves ag-
grievod, and tho Louisianiau declared
that it did not call for tho denunciation
OF tho senator for Maryland. Mr.. CAT
ferry declared that tho President was
cxoneratcd from tho charges mado
against him by Mr.. German. Tho very
evidence adduced by Mr.. German. ho
said. justified tho President in writing
the lOttcr ho had.
Since tho secrets OF tho past were to
be divulgod he would no longer keep in
tho dark the secrets OF his own prison
house. Tho Louisiana eenators bad
boon malo the target for tho slinga aud
arrows ot tariff reformers. Tho time
had como for him TO toll his story. Ho
was at little conference at which woro
prcsont, among othors, Mcssrs. BriCc
and German. It was decided at that
conference that 40 per cont on raw and
50 por cont on refined sugar was proper.
III took that schedule to tho finance
