WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Senator Voor-
hees has performed his expected somer-
sault The statesman who at the last ses-
sion of Congress was the champion of the
President and his uncompromising repre-
sentative on the floor of the Senate for un-
conditional repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, the irTeconcilable foe
of all trusts and the ardent tariff reformer,
has turned against the President with the
same furious energy that formerly marked
his zeal. AT yesterdays caucus Senator
voorhees, astounded even those who
thought they knew him by the violence
with which he denounced the Presidents
action in issuing bonds and his financial
policy in general. This he followed up with
the statement that it was idle to think
of carrying out any of the Presidents rec
concentrations in the way of tariff The
bills for free coal and free iron ore Mr..
Voorhees, buntly characterized as too un-
important to be worth wasting any time
over. and as for the bill TO repeal the diff
ferential rate on refined sugar il would
be impossible TO pass that bill without max
ing all sugar free, and that Mr. Voorhees,
affirmed. the treasury could not afford.
Mr.. Voorhees, conversion on the slib-
iect of silver since the exhaustion of the
supply of patronage at the White House
is no less radical The distinguished chair
man of the finance committee, who, only
eighteen months ago, was the official leader
of the opposition to the friends of the
white metal. is now feverishly awaiting
the opportune moment for the introduc-
rion of his free silver bill. He Is favorably
impressed with the silver bill introduced
in the House by Mr.. Hartman, OF Ore
gon, a feature of whose bill is the pro-
vision that all countries which will not
consent TO International adoption of BIZ
metallism shall pay import duties at the
United States custom houses in gold. 1t
is not impossible that he will incorporate
this idea into his bill. Indeed, since Mr..
Voorhees, has serious belief that his
bill will ever be enacted into law it is
quite likely that he will incorporate in Ii
all the financial vagaries which he has
supported at one time or another in his
long political career. Sugar Trust stock
took an upward bound on Wall street to-
day when the attitude of Chairman Voor-
hees toward the sugar bill became known
CarIisle's scheme to BE Pushed.
WASHINGTON, Dec 5.--An important
conference of most of the Democrats of the
House committee on banking and currency
was held after the adjournment of the
House to-day, as a result of which early
action looking to the reporting of bank
ing bill in line with the scheme presented
by Secretary Carlisle in his message was
taken. Chairman Springer said that Secre-
tary Carlisle had intimated a desire to ap-
pear before the committee himself, and had
also suggested the names Of several per-
sons whom it might be well for the COM
mittee to call for the purpose OF learning
their views Among the names in the list
furnished by the Secretary were those of
ex-Secretary Fairchild, Horace White, OF
the New York Evening Post; Mr.. ST. John,
of New York, and George A. Butler, of
New Haven. Conn. The members present
decided to hold a meeting of the full COM
mittee next Friday, when a resolution will
be offered providing that an invitation be
extended to Secretary Carlisle and Controlr
ler Eckels to appear on Monday ard Tues
day, respectively, and to the other gentle
men suggested by Secretary Carlisle TO
appear on the remaining days in the week.
Efforts will be made to close the hearing
by the 18th inst, and, according to one
member of the committee immediate work
on the preparation of bill will be begun.
