A SARCASTIC SENATOR
Denounces the Compromise Tariff
Bill in Vigorous Terms.

WASHINGTON, May 25-After being un-
der consideration for just one week, the
Legislative. executive and judicial apprc-
priation bill was passed by the house.
The main fight was in the house
after the bill had been reported back
from the committee of the whole on
the amendment declaring the laws au-
thorizing the docking of members sal
aries for absence repealed. and on the
amendment refusing to provide for the
civil service commission. Separate yea
and nay votes were demanded on thess
amendments, when the first was lost by a
vote Of l04 to l2s, and the latter by 80 TO
l5S
A yea aud nay vote was taken Oh the
amendment offered by Mr.. Enloe strik-
ing out the appropriation for the salaries
of the civil service commissioners and
clerks, which the committee Of the whole
adopted by decisive vote. IL resulted:
Yeas, so: nays, l5S. So the amendment
was lost
Another amendment proposed by Mr..
Caruth and agreed to In the committee of
the whole. which was designed to still
further emasculate the civil service COM
mission. was defeated in the house with
out division, as was also the amendment
to equalize the salaries of the assistant
doorkeepers of the house.
The only amendments adopted yester.
day in the committee of the whole and
agreed to by the house were to increase
the appropriation for publishing the postal
guide from $4,000 to So, 900. and an addi-
tlonal item of $500 for clerical service for
the Dookery commission.
Mr.. Terry secured the adoption Of an
amendment providing that each circuit
court of appeals should be entitled to have
expended for its use at least one-half Of
such surplus as they had accrued.
Hale's Sarcasm.
The senate proceedings were enlivened
by "a short debate on Hawaii and a very
sarcastic speech from Mr.. Hale on Mr..
Germans speech.
The Maryland senatoH Mr. Hale said,
had spoken none too soon. The Macedo-
nian cry had gone up, like the wall OF a
lost soul, from the Democracy of the
country for some one to appear as a leader
In the senate.
He read from Democratic papers ar
raignments of the majority of the senate
for the surrender of principle contained
In the "Gorman- Brics bill" The senator
from Maryland, Mr.. Hale proceeded, had
come forward with the effort Of his life to
reform the broken Democratic ranks.
The speech made by the Maryland SEN
ator, added Mr.. Hale, was made not to
the country, but to his Democratic col
leagues. Mr.. Hale continued with vivid
words and vltriolic comment to divide
the Democratic side Of the chamber into
groups" to which he said Mr.. German
had addressed his remarks.
Sharp Thrusts.
The first group, he said, comprised the
two senators from New York, Messrs. Hill
and Murphy, Mr.. Smith IN. J.) and
Messrs. Kyle and Roach. They represented
constituencies opposed 10 this bill.
The second group-a large one--de-
spised the bill before the senate, because
It gave the lie to the convictions and pro-
fessions OF lifetime. IL contained
Messrs. Mills and Coke (Tex). Vest and
Cockrell (Mo.), Villas wis Gray (Del. },
Palmer Qlls), Lindsay and Black burn
(Ky.). Harris and Bate (Tenn.) and per-
haps one or two others.
They were the men who when they
were obliged to vote for protection to coal
and iron ore, to the Sugar trust and Lead
trust. would ask themselves: "Is thy
servant dog that be should do thisP''
Then they would all vote for these pro-
visions and answer their own questions.
There was another group to which no
appeal from the senator was necessary.
1t included Messrs. Camden and Faux
ner (W Va.), Morgan and Pugh (Ala.)
Gallery and Blanchard Ua.), Brice 20. },
.
promiser himself, Mr.. German, had
given no anxiety to this group
Got All They Wanted.
Whyf Because they had secured all
they wanted. 1t extended to the confiues
ofthe earth, but he repeated that they
had got all they wanted.
Mr.. Hale continued to point out In de-
tail specifically what he termed the
''price" paid for votes In the latter group.
calling attention to speeches made by
these senators In the past.
The bill as IL now stood, Mr.. Hale said,
had no responsible parents 1t was po-
Utica! bastard. 1t was the result of the
intercourse OF those who had abandoned
party principle with the easy virtue of a
few protected Industries and the habitual
prostitutes of the trusts
1t was after o'clock when the senate
got down to actual work on the schedules.
Very fair progress was made, eight pages
(from paragraph l21 to l43 inclusivs) being
disposed of.
The surprise of the day was the ac-
ceptance by the finance committee of an
amendment offered by Mr.. Allen, the Ne
brasks Populist. to place barbed wire on
the free list. Several Republicans opposed
IL, but did not carry their opposition to
the extent of demanding rscord-making ng
vote upon 1t. An intimati from Mr..
Hoar that free barbed wire was to be the
price Of Mr.. Aliens vote for the tariff
bill was Indignantly denied.
