Hour Speech Against the Financial
Bm by ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Over
the Bill Scheduled for To-day.
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Adrsch
Financial bill was buried In the Ssnats
Chamber tonight with obeequies wy
strongly resembling those Of an Irish wake.
A devil-may-caro spirit seemed to afscs
Senators on both sides OF the Chamber
as soon as fhe evening session met. n
was then known that the flibustsr inauga-
rated by handful Of Democrats under the
lead Of Dubois Of Idaho would be successful
and pretenoe Of speechmaking was kepe
up on that understanding.
Mr.. Bailey OF Texas, one Of the Demo
cratic advocates Of the measure. finally
brought matters TO a most interesting and
amusing climax by charging that the Re-
publicans, under the leadership Of Mr..
Aldrich, had brought destruction upon
themselves because Of their hlibusbsr
against the Statehood bill.
The financial measure had been killed By
the Democrats, Bailey admitted. merely 70
force the Republicans to take q dose Of
their own medicine. The filibuster against
the Aldrich bill has proceeded. Bailey said,
on the theory that what Ii sauce for The
goose IL sauce for the gandsr.'
Aldrich denied the charge as to blibuster-
ing against the Statehood bill, and said.
moreover, the case was not on all fours.
because the whole country would suffer
from the defeat Of the financial bill.
Mr.. Tillman Of South Carolina threw
everybody on the floor and In the galleries
into roars of laughter Wy his ludicrous
account Of how the Democrats In the senate
had been -buncoed by the most astuts
politician In the United States Senate.
Matthew Stanley Quay
The Statehood fight was merely blind,
Tillman said, to hide the fact that the CO.
called antitrust legislation was merely
sham.
The Pennsylvania Senator denied The
soft impeachment and minated that hs
would have won out the Statehood night
had the Democrats stood solidly and san-
cerely behind him. A running debate
then took place as to which party was more
guilty OF flibustering. As Tillman said, u
was wash night In the Senate and every
body took advantage OF 1t.
The point of most OF the Democratic
speeches was that Senator Aldrich, a. the
leader Of the Senate Republicans, was
being Justly punished for his long and sue
cessful party leadership by the defeat Of
a financial measure demanded by the bK.-
ness interests Of the country without ~
gard to politics or location.

but he was temporarily prevented
Senator Aidrich delivered a most scath-
ing rebuke TO the Democrats. The financial
bill he said. In reply to an insinuation Of
Patterson, was prepared entirely In the
Finance Committee as plain business
proposition. II was considered and ap-
proved by the Democratic members Of the
COMMITTEES, and he (Mr. Aldrich) never
dreamed that the bill would be the subject
Of political criticism.
He charged that not a Democrat had
discussed the bill on its merits, and but Tor
the importance OF the passage OF the bill
TO the country he would he willing TO have

In reply to a question from Mr.. Patterson
a. TO why the bill was 20 important TO tho
country. Mr.. Aldrich said he hoped to have
an opportunity 90 make some rernarks on
that subject to-morrow-w when the actual
Lurisl Of the bill will take place.
