MIR. Harris (contlnuing) - This thing
can only be done by unanimous consent,
ana go one step farther and now ask
unanimous consent that this proposition
be accepted and acted upon.
Inc presiding officer, Mr.. Turpie. of
lnuiana-The question now is for unani-
nous consent. Is there any objectionl
Mr.. Cullom, rep, of IllinOis-I object.
MIR. AldriCh stated that his proposition,
and the only one he had made, was to
take vote upon the bill as il came from
the House. He had asked the senators
on the other side if they were ready at 3
! O'Clock, but that had been a question, not
proposition.
| Mr., Aldrich was here informed from
the democratic side that his question was
now answered aiirmatively
ALDRIcH ON THE AMENDMENTS.
"a do not plead the statute of limita-
ton" Mr.. Aldrich added. But | have
been told on what believe to be good au-
! thority, since asked that question that
! last night the democratic members of the
finance committee agreed to more than
300 amendments to the pending measure.
| nave every reason to believe
that before the hour of 3 o'clock
will be reached to-day more
than hundred other amendments will
be made to the pending bill. Now | do

tors on the other side will submita propo-
sition to the Senate to vote on the House
bill at some hour to be fixed early next
weeE behave, although cannot speak speak
! positively, that that proposition will be

Mr.. Teller objected to MIR. Harris re-
! quest for unanimous consent, basing his
| objection on the argument that no matter
| in what shape the bill might be passed by
the Senate, it would be modified in con-
| ference TO meet the objections of the
democratic senator's, who were now dis
satisfied. eff we are not told an un-
truth, " he said in the course Of his re-
marks, "a bill will come here in a few
days that will meet tho views of the ex-
ecutive side Of the government and that
! will be protective bill, and not revenue
bill at all"
VOORHEES, DENIES THE STORY.
Mr.. Voorhees, broke in with the decla-
ration that, so far as he knew, there was
not n particle of authority for the state.
ment or a word Of truth in It, that a new
bill was in process of preparation, or
would be offered in a few days or weeks
or months This bill, he added, with
much emphasis, twill take the usual
course OF measures of legislation. IL will
be subject TO amendments doubtless, but

added The statement made by the SEN
ator from Rhode Island, awhile ago, that
last night 200 or 300 or two amendments
or one amendment were agreed upon by
the finance committee is utterly without
foundation"
There is no use in denying the fact. "
MIR Teller declared. with equal emphasis,

~ do know" said Mr.. Aldrich, "from
sources outside of the committee, and
outside of the chamber. that numbers of
amendments to the bill have been sub
mitted and agreed to and, in confrma-
tion, | will await the events Of the next
few days"
VOORHEES, GROWS WARM.
~ say here" exclaimed Mr. Voorhees,
with some little show of excitement, that
the statement of the Senator from Rhode
| Island is not true"
"What statement" Mr.. Aldrich asked
"The statements that amendments have
been agreed upon TO the pending bill y
said MIR Voorhees,. THE effort here is
to make the implication that new deal
is being prepared. The senator from Rhode
Island taxes the senator from New
| Jersey as being destitute Of knowledge
Of what is going on in the finance commit
tee. The senator from Rhode Island is a
| striking example of man talking without
any knowledge at all on the subject he
speaks Of Laughter on the Democratic
side. | say this without intention TO
give personal offense; but ! repeat, with
| all emphasis, that the statement made by
the senator from Rhode Island. directly or
impliedly, is without TRUTH
ALDRIoH STICKS TO HIS CLAIM.
"The chairman Of the finance commit
tee" said Aldrich, "says it is not true
that certain amendments have been
agreed TO. / do not know what he means
| by that. II is undoubtedly true, of course,
that they have not been formally con-
sidered by the committee, but it is true
that amendments have been considered
and practically agreed to between parties
in interest, in the formation or reforma-
tion of the measure now before the
| Senate
That is wide of the truth" Mr.. Voor-
hees exclaimed.

said Mr. Aldrich.
After this episode, in which the Senate
and the galleries showed a lively interest
MIR Cullom addressed the Senate in Op.
position to the tariff bill.
Mr.. Dolph followed Mr.. Cullom with
the fifth number of his speech against the
democratic tariff bill.
After a short executive session the
Senate at 5-25 o'clock adjourned until to-
morrow at II o'clock.
In executive session to-day the Senate
confirmed the nominations Of James Yeo
mans, to be interstate commerce commits
sioner. and the following Baltimore ap
pointments: Ormand Hammond, TO be
assistant treasurer of the United States

nard Compton, naval officer, and Q. Ridg-
ley Goodwin, TO be surveyor of customs
The Injunction Of secrecy was notremoyed
from any Of these nominations.
