WASHINGTON, Feb, 27.-Ths tariff


crisis In the senate brought another day
of intensely dramatic action, impetuous
debate, and a stormy personal colloquy.
The speech OF senator Carter Of Mon
tsna, one OF he five Rspu blicans who VOC;
ed against proceeding with the tariff
bill, was the main formal event of the
day. There was added interest 10 the
speech, owing to Osrter's position as
Chairman u the Rspub lioan nstiOnl
committee. The senator used very
plain words In denouocing what he trem
ed q movement to drive him md his
associates out OF the Republican Isrty
This was, however, but the prelude to
more stirring events. Mr.. Hear question
ed Mr.. Carter as to whether he Iutened-
eli to defeat ATTY protective tariff unless
senators surrendered their convictions to
him, and whether his construction of ths
Minneapolis platform agreed with tbs
construction given it by President Har-
rison.
Mr.. Carter responded with great vigor
that Mr.. Harrlson's course had not been
all that was desired, but it vas at least
beacon OF hope for the future. But 1T
was not Construction applicable TO the
situation In the senate today.
Referenc to Mr. Tzller's part in
framing the platform brought him to his
feet WITH an explanation of what had
been icteneded, and a fairy denuncia-
ton of the bimetailism of Mr.. Shermap.
The latter in turn, arranged the dis
honesty of the policy of free silver, which
would pay the laboring man IN fifty
cent dollar. Mr.. Sherman prophesied
that even Colorado would reject the free
silver idea and accept true bIme.allism.
To this Teller TejoIned, with intense
feeling, that Colorado would never fol-
low the course suggested by the Ohio
senator, and if he did, he Teller would
cease to represent tina. state. He pre-
dicted free silver was not dead, as Sher-
man asserted, but was lively corpse
which would rise in the senate TO perplex
Sherman. Mr.. Teller c!oeed with An Im
passioned utterance that the glorious
past of the Republican party would be
obllterated. if it committed the infamy
of following the financial leadership Of
Sherman.
The latter part OF the day was given
to the Cuban resolutions. Mr.. White,
the proper branch to grant recognition
of belligerepcy.
