 Then MT. Hill recalled the fact that Mr. German had referred to him yesterday a5 playing the role of Iago, and he said that that reference of Shakespeare reminded him of the great senatorial conspiracy of many centuries ago, when a senatorial cabal com passed the death of a great Roman em- peror.
 If be (Hill) were disposed to make com. guished senator from Maryland as .the lean and hungry Cassius." TLaughter.l ] Senators would recollect that Cesar said to him: ''He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous. Laughter And he might speak of the senator from Arkansas, MT. Jones, as Marcus Brutus, "honest" Brutus. Here he paid a compliment to MT. Jones for his wonderful patience and sagacty ia the management of the bill, and said that the senator had won the es teem and respect of his conntrymen every where, and so he would call him 'honsst Brutus.'
 ''Cassius,'' said he, with a malicious tone and look, "I have already referred to. Loud laughter.l Then there was Cassa, envious Cassa (meaning MT. 'VesD, who struck the first blow. Trebonious repre- sentel the senator from Indiana tMr. Voorhees), and Cinna the distinguished senator from Tennesse (Mr. Harris). MT. president,' he concluded, twhen yester- day they struck at our president and sought to strike him down they made the sims plea which the conspirators of old made Not that tbey loved Ce sar less, but that they loved Rome more'-not that they loved Cleveland less, but that they loved their party aud the public more. And with Mare Aut0nU tWhat nriUut a griefs they have, alas, 1 know not. They are all wise and honorable men. ''
 With this application of Shakespeare's play of Julius Ce 3ar to the attack on Presi- dent Cleveland MT. Hill closed his speech, resuming his seat amid acclamations or applause.
 Mir. Csffery followed with motion to in- struot the senate conferees to insert in the sugar schedule provision to pay to the sugar producers of the United States for 1894 bounty of 910 of cent per pound on sugar testing not less than 90 degrees by the polariscope, and of S-10 of a cent for sugar testing not less than 80 degrees. He began his speech by defending the presi- dent in connection with the Wilson letter, and declared that there was nothing in that letter which the president was not per fectly justified in saying, and nothing in it that assailed, in the slightest degree, the honor of the senate or oi any senator's.
 Without closing his speech MT. Caffery gave way to motion to adjourn, so that the democratic senators might hold a eau GUS, and then, at 3:05 p. m., the senate ad journed until tomorrow at noon.
 IN THE HOUSE.
 The committee on rules gave today's ses- sion to the committee on public lands, and in two and half hours MT. McRae, chair man, succeeded in having passed fourteen bills reported from his committee. Two of these were of particular importance, one providing for settlement of the claims by and aUaInat the state Of Arkanqaa and tha United States, and the other providing for the separation of the mineral lands in the Northern Pacific grant in Idaho and Mon- fana and granting patents to the settlers thereon.
 The bill which came over from Saturday and yesterday as unfinished business was passed, directing the unemployment Rs last as vacancies occur of the railway postal clerks who were discharged betwe en March 15 aud May 1. 1889.
 An hour of the session was spent in an unavailiug effort to consider the bill di- recting the payment to West Virginia of the amount of the direct tax collected from it, irrespective of claims by the federal government against the states.
 MT. Tabor of South Carolina introduced the following resolution:
 Resolved, That the committee on coin- age, weights and measures be requested to bring in at once bill for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l, and that the committee on banking and currency be re- quested 10 at once report back to the house some one or all the measures before it look ing to change in the monetary system.'
 A preamble to the resolution says that disposition seems prevalent on the part of the senate and house to remain in session for some time to come in an effort to ad- just their differences on the tariff question, and that the peoples demands for free silver and change in the present financial I system of the nation has so far been ignored, hence the resolution. At 4:4O the house adjourned.
