washington, June 1.-THE senate
chamber was transformed today INTO
a mental arena, and Senator Aldr1cn'
leading the conservatives, and Sena-
tor Beveridge, heading the progress
sives,' were the chief gladiators. Setn
of these senators we're frequently on
their feet. and there were many sharp
conflicts between them.
Senator AIdrieh's Hopes Dashed.
The session having begun with a
vote on the recommendation OF mis-
committee for a duty Of three cents
a square yard and twenty per cent.
ad valorem on the fabric known as
window hollands, Senator Aldrich was
apparently somewhat encouraged over
the prospect of making decided
headway with the cotton schedule. His
hopes, however, were doomed TO early
disappointment, for only a few mo-
ments afterwards Mr.. Beyeridge TOOK
the floor, and before he finished had
opened such a gap that the Rhode Is
land senator himself could not resist
the opportunity to enter it. Mr.. Bev-
eridge having said that he was in
clined TO support the recommenda-
tions of the finance commission, the
admission led the chairman of the
committee to say that he had not
shown such inclination by his vote.
sertinR his right to follow his con-
science, rather than the leadership Of
any individual.
Rhode Islander Never Favored Pro-
hibitlve Policy.
From that time forward the two
senators were engaged in joint de-
bate much of the time during the day.
Mr.. Aldrich contended that while pro-
hfbitivs tariffs were justified he had
never favored a prohibitive policy. He
predicted that in time the south would
become the greatest manufacturer Of
the finer grades of cotton goods. An
swsring this assertion, Senator Bacon
declared that If even such should
prove to be the case, he would not
favor an increase in the customs du-
ties. He believed that natural condi-
tions in Georgia or the other southern
states would PROVE the best protection
for the manufacturers.
The Second Vote.
