WASHINGTON, D. c., July 24-Pursu-
ant to the terms of the agreement made
last evening the Senate met at 10 o'clock
this morning and proceeded Immediately
to consider executive business. Twenty
minutes after the doors were opened the
tariff con nference report was taken up and
Allen resumed the delivery of the speech
he had been making against the bill at
yesterdays session. There were not
MANY Senators present and there was
general air OF listessnes5 and apathy.
Allen spoke for nearly an hour and was
fallowed by Caffery. who discussed the
sugar features of the bill. He said
duty on sugar was the Keystone of the
Democratic protection policy and duty
on wool was the keystone of the Repub-
lcan protection policy. He prophesied
commercial and mercantile disaster to the
country from the passage of the bill, the
effect of which he characterized, as ''assas-
sination OF trade
Burrows was the first Repu bllcan Sena-
tor to speak on the conference report.
His speech was in connection with the
lumber schedule. To give an idea of the
magnitude OF the lum ber industry of the
United States, he said that he capital in
vested in it aggregated $3.50 900, 600, and it
gave employment to 90, 900 people and
PAL d in wages in a single year $3.50, 900 600.
He claimed that the rates on Ium Der were
the lowest in the bill. Burrows said that
ii a protective policy failed now it would
be the first time in American history.
The country was to be congra tulated that
an English policy was to be abandoned
and an American policy re-establlshed,
and be confidently believed that this tariff
measure would BRING back to the country
q new era of Individual ana National pros
perity.
At O'CLOCK there was formal adjourn
ment of yesterdays session and a formal
opening OF to-day's session, so as 10 in
augurate a new legislative day.
Morgan then took the floor. He said he
wished to explain the situation IN which
the Senate was on the conference report.
He quoted a statement by Allison as to
the reasons why the committee had
removed from the bill the provision for
the taxation of stocks and bonds, and pro-
ceeded to argue that such reasons had no
support in the constitution. He spoke of
the tax as just and honest, and proDhesied
would break the party into dust and ashes.
He looked forward TO the time when the
people OF the United States would rise in
their majesty and compel Congress 20
exercise us clear, full powers of legislation
for tie repression Of inequalities and the
enormous injustice of this tariff bill
Morgan spoke for an hour and half
and then yielded to Butler, but before

did So He praised the bill as not being
sectional and confined to manufactures,
but extending TO the products of farms
and mines, wool aad hides He spoke
until 3 o'clock, when the vote was to be
