Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman ofthe COM

positive name a statement made in
the Washington dispatches ola Phila-
Gelphia paper as to the action OF the
democratic members of the committee,
who are represented as having gone TO
the White House and consulted with
the President as 10 certain items in the
tariff bill.
He declared that there was MOI the
slightest. faintest trace OF truth in a
single word or syllable in it. He was
asked by Mr.. Chandler IS 10 the com
position OF the committee-whether
Mr.. Mills. OF Texas, or Mr.. McPher-
son, OF New Jersey. was 3 member OF il.
or whether both were members.
Mr.. Chandler was informed that he

was doing. The Senator from Texas.
Mr.. VOORHEES, said. was doing magnii
cent work and was one Of the main
stays OF the committee. He did not
know what the Senator from New
Hampshire was after.
Mr.. Sherman. republican, OF Ohio,
one OF the members OF the finance COM
mittee. declared that the tariff bill, as
i. came from the House, had never
been before the committee proper, and
that no republican member OF that
committee had been called into consul.
He was asked by Mr.. Chandler ii he
knew who the members OF the finance
committee were, and whether Mr..
Mills was one, or Mr.. Mcpherson. His
reply was that both could not be men,
bers and that ne understood that Mr..
Mills was performing the duty OF
Mr.. Mcpherson Oh account Of the i'll
ness OF the latter.
Mr.. PIatt insisted upon the right Of
the Senate TO know which OF those two
Senators was q member OF the commit
tee on finance, and acting on the sub
committee. He was informed by Mr.
Vest that there never had been q SUBJ
committee on the tariff, and that the
statement had grown out of the active
imagination which characterized the
modern newspaper reporter.
The discussion which was started By
AIr. Voorhees, personal explanation
continued al length and at times took
a character Of sharp personal animosi-
ty between Senator's Chandler and
Vest. Senators Mills and Mcpherson
stated their relative positions in con-

tariff.
