Senator Aldrich Explains.
Washington, d. G June 3.-Sena
tors Aldrich and Stone, engaged in 6
warm debate this morning over the
recent remark concerning the action
of Germany in sending a statement
OF prices in that country with view
OF influencing tariff legislation here
The remark of Aldrich was based OF
a request by the State Department tt
Germany asking for the rate of wages
in Germany. The information was
sent but with the request that the
names of the manufacturers be moi
used. Stone read telegram from
Berlin showing that the German peo
pie had taken offense at Aldrich's re
marks because Of the prominence o1
the speaker. Aldrich declared he hat
made on charge against the govern
ment but said he was talking about
manufacturers who sent information
with the understanding that 1t was
not to be used In the enforcement o1
customs laws. He said it was not ;
question concerning the German gov
,ernment. He said any attempt Of 8
foreign government to influence legis
lation Is impertinent. Stone insisted
that there could be no mistake about
.Aldrich's remarks being directed to
ward Germany, but Aldrich said he
was speaking in the abstract.
Aldrich rehearsed the whole affail
and said he had no intention of criti
cising or affronting the German gov
ernment and could not see why Stone
was so interested unless he represent
ed Germany. THAT remark is an i'm
pertinence,' said Stone. "Yes, worse
than an impertinence." Aldrich pait
no attention to the remark and con
tinued that he represented America
and could not see that any foreign
+ power had been injured. Stone re
sented the stigma" placed on hin
and said that deliberate affron
should not be offered any foreign
power.
