IN The morning hour the conference re-
! port on the fOrtitcation appropriation
Dill was presented and agreed to.
Inc conference report on the army ap-

| The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Alien, calling for copies of correspond
ehce, Geographic or otherwise, of the de-
| partment of justice with railroad officers
| ana the United States district attorney
OF Chicago, during the recent Industrial
troubles IN Chicago was taken up and
agreed to without objection
At p. m. the message from the House
ASKING further conference on the tariff bill
was laid before the Senate, and Mr. Quay
| Withdrew the motion made by him yes
terday to amend the pending motions of
senators Villas and Gray so as to put
sugar on the free list.
AT this time very few senator's were in
thelr seats, and MIR. Gray raised the
point OF no quorum and the roll was
calIeu' Slxty-one senators responded.
Villas EULoGIzEs CLEVELAND.
Then Mr., Villas took the floor and ad-
! dressed the Senate in a two hours speech,
| delivered ofhand and with much orator
zeal effect. His speech was highly eulo-
| CYSTIC of President Cleveland, whom he
| defended from the charges of duplicity,
ana OF improper interference with legls-
latlon, made by Senator German in his
! speech on Monday. He spoke of
| PRESIDENT Cleveland as 1.-The great
| first citizen of the republic"
and as the representative of the
| national honor; and he declared, with
| solemnlty and vehemence, that to assail
| Grover Cleveland was to strike at the
| haN 70, =,
! 'front.' every good citizen; and that to stab
him was to sting the heart of every true
| American In conclusion he withdrew
! his motion of Friday last to
! strike out the additional discriminat-
ing duty of one-eighth of q cent
a pound on sugar, and favored Mr.. Grays
motion to insist upon the Senate amend
ments and TO consent to further confer
| ence. He did this, he said, because he
was strict party man and desired to be
IN accordance with his democra tic breth-
ren. And he expressed the hope that
! out OF the conference would come meas
ure far better than that which had al
ready passed the Senate. All the con-
ferees, he said, knew the sentiment of the
Senate on the sugar question, and he was
sure that that sentiment would have its
true and proper weight.
STEWART CRITICIsEs THE PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Villas was followed by Mr.. Stewart
Of Nevada, who criticised the Presidents
letter as an invasion of the legislative
power, such as had cost Charles |. his
head.
AT the close of the debate the vote was
taken on Mr. Hills motion to recede from
the duty of 40 cents a ton on iron ore and
on coal.
AT the suggestion of Mr. Allison the
motion was divided so that the vote
should first be taken on iron ore. The
vote resulted-yeas 6, nays IS, as follows

His motion in regard to coal was lost by
the same vote.
Then MIR Caffery withdrew his motion
in favor Of modified sugar bounty for
| 1894
Mir Quay had already withdrawn his
motion to have sugar put on the free list
and the only question left was Mr.. Gray's
motion to insist and to agree to the
! further conference asked by the House
AS the vote was about to be taken, Mr.
! Villas motion to recede from the one
eighth cent a pound discriminating duty
on sugar was renewed by MIR Washburn
rep, of Minnesota. A point of order was
made against it, and that point was dis
cussed, without conclusion being
reached, until 5 :45 o'clock, when the Sen
ate adjourned.
