WASHINGTON, D. G.. July 23.-Attcr
he expiration Of tho preliminary
routine business,at 1922 in the senate,
Senator Voorhees, called up tho confer
ence report on the tariff bill. Then the
utorm broke. Mr.. German immediate
BY arose. He hoped he appreciated the
gravity OF tho situation, he began. Or
dlnarIly the situation would DO easy OF
solution. There would ordinarily be no
difference of opinion about sending tbs
bill to conference where the difference
between tho two houses could DO ad'
justed. He drew a graphic picture Of
the anxiety with which tho country
Awaited the fate OF the bill-the idle
factories and the closed workshops, and
1.-THE unemployed. Further suspense
was neither 10 the bcst interests OF tho
country nor Of the Democratic party:
He hoped that tho aenators would meet
tho situation as bncamc patriotic men
and duty bound Democrats.
The senator from New York (Mr..
Hill) bad from tho beginning opposed
the bill, openly and msntully. Tho
Democrats, faced with such condition,
had gone mantully to work to harmon
/ iEe the differences and had accom-
plished 1t by many aacritices-almost at
the sacrifice OF principle. No lerisla-
1 tive body in this country, he declared,
had. ever been confronted with such a
condition. Tho senators of tho states
Of Now York, New Jersey, Ohio, West
Virginia and Maryland at tho outset an
nounced that the house bill was 30 radl-
cal: 40 destructive OF the interests OF
tho people that thcy would not sup
port 1t.
Thon In dramatic tones he delivered
his defiance.
The infamous calumnies henped upon
the Democrats OF the senate forced from
his lips. no said, the plain unvarntshed
staADmOnt OF the facts ho would make,
he said, with malice toward none. But
he would look his colloaguos and tho
American people in the eye and toll tho
truth.
THE PnEsiDGSG's DOUBLE DEALING.
In rcspenso to an appeal from Mr..
German, Mr.. Jonos, of Arkausas, 70.

dent told him, he said. that hO would
favor almost any compromise to sOcuro
the passage OF tho bill. GreatapplnuSe
from tho galleries groetod tho close OF

Mr.. Wins asked whether President
cleveland had not exprcsand his desire
for free coal and iron. Mr.. Jones ro'
Piled that ho had, but had urged that
tho senate got tho compromise bill
through.
Mr.. Harris, Of TennCsuoo, yielded tho
