SHARP RETORTS BY HOAR AND CAFFERY

Washington, June Quite a lively
turn was given to the senate tariff debate
this afternoon by Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusetts. Senator Bacon of Georgia, had
spoken in favor of duty on Lumber as
according to Democratic tenets, and
Senator Caffery of Louisiana, had op.
posed it as undemocratic. Senator Hoar
thereupon referred to the pecuiarities of
the way some Democrats acted on the
tariff. Senator Oaffery's idea of the
tariff he said was "a duty on sugar, and
on nothing else" He added that Senator
Csffery was 80 anxious for a protective
duty on sugar that when the Wilson bill
was being considered and vote was be-
ing taken, he first cast his vote against
the house bill as protest, and before the
completion of the call, changed his vote
to yes.
Senator Hoar said Senator Bacon
wanted protection and revenue to go hand
in hand when it came to duty on lum-
Der. If the Democratic side could make
tariff bill it would be found that every
thing in their own states would be pro-
teoted. Senator Bacon asked Senator
Hoar what he would do about duty on
hides and Senator Hoar said he would
support the tariff bill, if it contains a
duty on hides, which his colleagues
thought proper. He said he thought a
duty of cent pound on hides was not
protection, and from that point of view
was folly. Senator Stewart insisted that
while there wss duty on leather, there
should be protection on hides, for the
benefit of farmers who were ubject to
com petition from South America. Sem
stor Oaffery defended his vote on the
Wilson bill by saying it was a protest
against the action of his own sids, in
changing the time when the bounty
should be repealed. He said while he
might have deceived himself on the tariff,
he did not like Senator Hoar to deceive
others. Senator Hoar confessed the duty
on hides was absurd, but only because it
was not high enough to do any good.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, said SEN
ator Hoar's statement to the effect that
the duty on hides was only cent, was not
correct. He then continued the debate
on the lumber schedule.
CUBAN POLICY.
Secretary Sherman last night received
the following cablegram from U. =. Min
lister Taylor at Madrid: "The queen re-
gent has expressed her unqualified ap-
proval of the present Cuban policy, by
resppointing the Canovas ministry, un-
changed, as that was the only question
really involved"
BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION.
The house today fassed the senate
amendment to authorize the construction
OF steel bridge across the ST. Louis
river, and to authorize the construction
of a bridge across Pearl river, Miss. By
a vote of 81 to 79 the senate then ad.
journed until Thursday, the Democrats
opposing adjournment in the interest of
the Cuban and bankruptcy questions.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The schedules will not be taken up in
the senate today. The Republican sem
ators will holds caucus at 10 o'clock
tomorrow.
