The consideration OF the tariff con-
ference report was then resumed, and
Mr. Teller. OF ColOrado. took the floor
for a general speech. lie said he did not

When Mr.. White closed Nr. Mantle

expressed his regret that tho Senate
conferrees had not been able TO retain

ging and mating, and those other things
which the Senate. by a yea and nay vote,
had transferred TO the FREQ list. 1t was
IN his opinion. a stupendous mistake on
the part of the Republicans, looking at
1t from "a political standpoint. They had
missed an opportunity to popularizo this
measure.

CAR REEDS COURSE.
MIR. Allen, Of Nebraska, reviewed what
ne called the most remarkable thing
about this remarkable extra session. He
referred 10 the inactiou of the House
twice woe;- due he declared. to the
course Of the Speaker of the House in
managing affairs. as "suckers' were
strung on "A string. Not only had this
string mar OF the House cOerced his
own branch of Congress, but that coer-
cion had been extended 10 the Senate.

without more than passing interest
MIR. Allen spoke OF the large cam

which was fast. furious. and at times
neraonal MI. Foraker came forward
with census figures for the purpose OF
disproving Mr.. Aliens charge as TO the
swollen vote OF Ohio. lie said Mr.. Allen
must have spoken in ignorance of the
facts.
ct Is not the first time l have been
accused of Ignorance" commented Mr.
Allen.
81 do not accuse the Senator OF igno-
rance. but of being ignorant of specific
facts"
Hurrledly reading from statistics. Mr.
FORAKER said the vote OF Ohio ia lSa

Cleveland the statistics showed about
