Senator Vest (dern.. MOI followed Sem
ator Aldrich in a vigorous speech against
the republican tarfn policy. Senator Vest
inquired why, II there was now sufficient
revenue for the expenses Of the govern
ment, the republican party should adopt
the policy of its opponent and put tax
on tea. He argued that there was in the
treasury more money than when President
Harrison turned it over to Grover Cleye-
land. The policy Of issuing gold certif1-
Gates when there was more than 500, 0O0, 600
of reserve, Senator Vest asserted. had been
abandoned by Secretary Carlisle and Sec
rotary Gage. Every dollar boarded was q
crime against the people. He criticised
Senator Aldrich for failing to give state
ment OF the revenue that would be yielded
by the bill and for failing to present esti-
mates that had been prepared by the chief
Of the bureau Of statistics.
In reply, Senator Aldrich said the estl-
mates contained merely an opinion that
neither the Dingley bill nor the senate bill
could supply sufficient revenue for the gov
ernment in its first year. The bill would
produce $50,000.000 more than the Wilson
bill, he said, :.

WEYLER IS ANGRY.

He Accuses the United States OF I'M
pertinence and Hypocrisy.
New York, May .-Adispatch to the
Journal from Cienfuegos, Cuba, says:
In an interview Capt. Gen. Weyier, upon
his arrival here from Placetas, in ref

far taken, nor shall / be If the house con-
ours in the senate resolution and sends it

saddle and evidently bent upon forcing the
country in some foreign complications in
approaching internal crisis.
THE few scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters. railroad wreckers, horse and
cattle thieves, plantation burners and
htghwaymen now in the field here, who
hold no port and possess no seat Of civil
government, have no right to expect recog-
milton. Such distinction at President NC
kinley's hands, issued in the face Of my
own proclamation officially declaring the
greater part of the island to be already

Since long ago the PAGER has been held
in the highest esteem in the state that
reveres the name of Andrew Jackson.
But until the historical Saturday on

horses bred in trotting lines. John Il.
Gentry and Robert J. are not products

bidding on him when he was put under
the hammer at Cleveland
In 1896 he was placed in the stable OF
David J. McClary. the man who now
has the proud distinction of having rid

the world.
