Senator Sherman asked II the Tariff
bill was before the Senate, and In an
emphatic manner Mr.. Harris sail 1t was
not.
Mr. Sherman then thought the resou.
ton was premature. and ne should object
to the resolution A chorus of "Oh. no."
came from the Republican side.
Mr.. Allison then outlined what the
purpose of the resolution was and sug-
gested that 1t be modified. and that
conferrees be instructed to report an
agreement or disagreement. AS one
Senator. he said he would be glad to
know what propositions had been made.
II the conferrees had had meeting at
which all were present. II would be le-
/ climate 10 Inquire as to this. but the
proceedings were Informal and partook
! of friendly conference between men,
! bers Of the same party.
The matter was not in condition to
make inquiry as to the differences. The
Senate ought to exact that the confer

/ know what the trouble was regarding
the bill.
Mr.. Hill then took the floor. and Mr.
Gray asked what was the status of the

Mr.. Gray objected to further con-
sideration.
Mr. Hill contended that the resolution

Several Senators stated that the reso-

nous consent and further that It had
been debated and an objection came too
late, an objection having been raised
when the Vice. President asked II there
were objection.
The point Of order was debated at
| some length.
Mr.. Hill said all the other Senators
had spoken without asking unanimous
consent. 1t was only when he arose to
speak on his own resolution that OBJ

Senate had plenty of time to dispose of
this business. 1t was not pressed with
business. The resolution had been
taken up and partially discussed, 30
that the objection to its present consid
Grafton came toe late. A resolution
could not be read and partly discussed
and then laid aside.
But / insist that such q course is
necessary under the rules" interrupted
Mr.. Villas. -
Then You are the only Senator who
will make the claim" said Mr.. Hill.
The case reminded Mr. Iiill Of the rul-
ing made by Speaker OF the New York
Legislature, Of whom he proceeded to
tell.
A member had once asked for unani-

| was no objection, and the member be-
gan q prosy and tiresome speech. 1t
| was so bad that one OF the members
arose and withdrew his consent. The
Speaker thereupon ruled that the speech
must end, as unanimous consent could
be cut off at any time.
| 1T was a ridiculous decision" said
| Mr.. Hill. lust as the contention is"
The Vioe-President, In making his
ruling, said the question OF granting
unanimous consent had not been clearly
understood by the Senate. One Senator
had stated he had not heard the re-
quest for unanimous consent.
| Under these circumstances" con-
cluded the yice-President. II should
be reluctant to have the resolution
Immediately considered when Senators
objected to It,"
| When the Vice-Presldent again put
the question and asked II there were
objection to the present consideration Of
the resolution. Mr.. Gray said:

under the rules, for one day." said the
Vice-President.

favor OF the resolution Of the Senator
from New York, and when 1t comes be-
fore the Senate tomorrow ] shall take
occasion to make statement to the
Senate. which can be done without vio,a-
ton Of the confidence of the conference.
1T is time, / think. that the calcium
light Of truth be shed on the work OF
the conference. and that the calumnies
and false issues which have been heaped
upon the conference and sent broadcast
over the country be dispelled. WITH this
end In view will. when the resolution
is considered tomorrow, speak of the
Infamous lies which have been invented
and circulated as to the work of the con-

Mr.. Vest had spoken with intense ear
nestness, and 1t was a marked contrast
when Senator Hill arose. bland and smil-
ing, and suggested: Perhaps the Senator
would like TO free his mind now?'

Mr.. Vest, each word exploding like a
firecracker.
Mr.. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, then exc
cuted a flank movement in debate by
calling up a resolution heretofore Of
fered by Senator Allen. 1t was unim-
portant. but 1t gave Mr.. Aldrich the moor
