WASHINGTON April Ex-senator David b.
HilPs able and interesting speech delivered In
the Senate to-day was listened to attentively
by every Senator in the city and by the largest
and most eager crowd Of spectators who have
occupied the galleries OF the chamber
since the anxious days and nights last fall
when the bill to stop the purchase OF silver
was under discussion. The crowd to-day was
like the crowds that used to flock to the Senate
to listen to Roscoe ConkllnR In mis- prime The
text OF the New York Senator's speech to-day
was the so-called Wilson Tariff bill. which has
passed the House and been reported to the
Senate by the Finance Committee In an
amended andrevised form but Mr.. Hills re-
marks were confined almost exclusively to the
income tax section Of that bill. The Senator
attacked this provision with vigor and ability.
and boldly announced that he should never
vote for any tariff bill OF which II formed q
part. To this extent at least he 10 an out-and-
out opponent Of the Tariff bill.
