WASHINGTON, July 23.-The battle
over the conferees report on the tariff
bill was resumed in the senate today.
The attendance is larger than on Friday,
and the fight is confined to the demo-
Gratis, the republicans conceding it to be
their fight President protein Harris
is in the chair. After the routine bust
ness was finished Voorhees, called for
the conference report on the tariff bill,
and then the storm broke. German
addressed the senate at length, speaking
from carefully prepared notes. After
reviewing the condition of the senate
which made a compromise necessary,
he delivered his defiance in dramatic
tones. The Infamous calumnies heaped
on the head of the senate, forced from
his lips, he said, this plain, unva rnished
statement. Referring to the presidents
letter, he said: "It is the most uncalled
for, the most extraordinary, and the
most unwise communication that ever
came from a president of the United
States" German then proceeded to
detail the manner in which to meet the
objections and secure the support of GER
tain disaffected democrats, the changes
had been agreed upon. He stated en-
phatically that during this work, Vest
and Jones had frequent conferences with
Cleveland himself. He charged directly

been seen by Secretary Carlisle before
they were agreed upon. He read the
interview with Secretary Carlisle on

this same bill his sweeping endorse.

essarily spoke in great measure for the
president on matters relating to his de-
partment," said German. In response
to an appeal from German, Jones of
Arkansas related conversation he had
with President Cleveland before he pro-
posed the Jones amendments to the
tariff bill. He said he told the president
he would not go one step further with
the compromise measure until he was
assured it would have the. presidents
support. The president told him he
would favor almost any compromise to
secure the passage of the bill. Villas
asked whether President Cleveland had
not expressed desire for free coal and
iron? Jones replied he had, but had
urged the senate to get the compromise
bill through.
German resumed with one of the
most sensational references heard in the
senate for many a day. He said the
senate had been traduced. Attempt
had been made to try and gibbet them
before the country. Charges had been
''foully made coming from distinguished
sources" and these must be met and
.refuted. These charges were echoed by
men who chirped when he talked. The
senators who had been traduced had
fought for the tariff reform bill when
towards in high places would not show

ceive of no reason for the remarkable
action taken by the president unless
perhaps the one responsible for,it was

country regard HIM as the author of all
that was right in the tariff reform bill.
Never. before since the declaration of
independence had the president of the
United States been guilty of such viola
ton of the spirit of the constitution as
had Cleveland in writing his letter to
Chairman Wilson. German had Black

ment of the executive ON the powers of
congress as subversive of the principles
of the republic. "The. liberty of the
senate has been invaded" he said, in
thunderous tone, "but we stand here to
