Mr.. Allison with great earncstness.
"Thero are bills horo-scnt from tho

Mr.. Hill Dom, New York; secured
recognition rs Mr.. Allison closed.
"1t the senate: from Maryland de-
sirei to vindicato himself" began Mr..
Hill: II SEQ no reason why he should
not have the opportunity"
But" he continued. "in urging this
rindication tho senator from Maryland
should not seek to imneach those who
supported tho Wilson bill"
Mr.. NILS SARCASM.
In the course Of his argument against
the income tax, Mr.. Hill observed,
sarcastically, that he did not',hink tho
senator from Maryland cared very
much for this income tax. lie had
sought to place him (IIill with tho
senator from Pennsylvania Quay to-
Sether as opponents OF the bill.
Mr.. Hill defined his position, which
WAS to repeal the tax. II IL was to stand
he would offer no opposition to the ap-
propriation for carrying it into effect.
Returning TO the tariff law. Mr.. Hill
said that he has no retrac,ions to offer
for the criticisms he had made against
that law. lie objected to the diGeren-
tial on sugar. Did the senator from
Maryland think OF revenue when he
voted for that provision-a provision
that hurt tho Democratic party moro
than any other factor. One would think
from listening to the senator from Mary.
land that he had stood here and com.
batted Democratic mob.
That SENATOR" he went on, stands
here to-day opposed to any change
which will provide revcnue for this gov
ernment. lie opposes change in the
rules. He appeals piteously TO the Re-
publican side OF the chamber for help"
Mr.. Hill asserted that he did not join
in any such appeal. He appealed to
his party associates. There was a rip
pie OF applause at this point which was
checked by the presiding officer. He
Ind differed with Mr.. German on the
thrift bill. He (Hll) had voted for
free coal, free iron, Tree lead, and
against the diIaren,ial on sugar. Had
not the Democratic party declared Tor
free raw materials.
Mn. GoRMAS'S FORMER POSITION.
Mr.. Hill REQUIRED to the assertion OF
Mr.. German that he had always been
opposed to an issue OF bonds and re.
called Mr.. Gorman's position in 1898,
when he favored bond issue. The
senator from Maryland attempted
TO set his judgment up as superior TO
that OF some Of this associates. Past
events, he begged to assure him, had
shown that he was no wiser than
others. With bitter irony he quoted
the concluding words OF Mr.. Germans
speech on the occasion OF the passage
OF the tariff bill when that senator en-.
joined patience. forbearance and vir-
tue" on the Democratic masses, spoke
oil the rising sun OF n brighter day in
the horizon and predicted victory and
success at tho November elections.
MIR. German was again on his feet as
soon MS Mr.. Hill closed. He disclaimed
n desire to have a personal controversy
with the senator from New York. He
was not in the habit OF making ex xplana.
lions. There would always be differ
cnccs OF opinion on the details OF the
tariff on coal, on iron and other items.
Mr.. German alluded to the refusal OF
Mr.. Hill to oTer a suggestion rs to the
proper remedy tor tho present problem,
because. rs he said. it was idle to do 80
as long ~ tho rules remain unchanged.
The senate then held brief exccu.
tive session, and at 5:l5 p. M. ad-
journed.
