Dramatic Closing Scenes.
After a whole day spent in debate, and
tablng and voting down amendments, the
closing scenes just before the vote was
taken, were dramatic, and the atmosphere
of the senate was charged with electricity,
Senator La Toilette concluded three
hour speech, in which he urged hts tariff
amendment, attacked the woOllen schedule.
and criticised the bill generally. Then
Mr.. Beveridge took the floor to speak the
last word for the insurgents on the re-
publican side.
"our votes he said. shall be cast iny.s.
harmony with our party's pledges, as
voiced by our party's leader and the ma
TONS president"
Suggesting that the insurgents would
cast their votes on the final passage of
the bill in conformity with their previous
action, Mr.. Beveridge said they would do
so, as a notice to the conferees to bring
back a bill in which there should be de-
creases of duty.
AIdrIch Makes Reply.
Mr.. Beveridge was answered by Mr..
Aldrich, who said he had often seen men
interpret their own judgment, as the judg-
ment of their party.
THE republican party is a party Of
maJorities," he said, ''and the views of
the majority in matters OF legislation con-
troll party policies The senator from In
diana does not speak for the republican
nartV- He has no right m call hara
name of the president of the United States
in support of any suggestion which he has
made"
Mr.. Aldrich declared that the pending
bill was a fulfilment of the party's pledge
If senators wished to vote against the
bill he said. they should not attempt TO
speak for their party.
II have listened with deep interest to
the fearful and prophetic funeral oration,"
said Mr.. Stone from the democratic side.
He declared 1t reminded him OF the old
hymn, 'Hark From the Tomb a Doleful
Sound"
Crawford TO the Fore.
Mr.. Crawford declared a vigorous protest
against any attempt on the part Of Chair
man Aldrich to prevent republican senators
from the exercise Of their judgment
Am not good, loyal member of my
party?" asked Mr.. Crawford. He proposed
to exercise his judgment and to follow
the constitution in voting upon the bill.
Senator Clapp also Joined In the pro-
test against any effort on the part of the
Senator from Rhode Island to control his
actions
II am neither stung, silenced nor en-
tombed by the words OF the senator from
Rhode Island" said he.
| "It will take more than the senator from
sIa m qfa Of
sofa out Of the republican party" said
Mr.. Nelson. amid applause, which called
down the gavel OF the vice president, with
an announcement that such expressions
were not permitted Mr.. Nelson said he
did not care to be ectured to by the SEN
ator Of Rhode Island.
! The bill was then put on Its passage.
| 1t was passed 45 to 3d.
Upon motion OF Mr.. Aldrich the vice
president announced the senate conferees
as follows:
! Senators Aldrich, Burrows Penrose, Hale
Cullom, republicans, and Daniel, Money
and Bailey, democrats.
The senate then adjourned at HIS p. m.
BeveridEe and AIdrich Clash.
! Early In the evening Senators Beyeridge
and Aldrich had a hot-tempered clash.
| when the senator wants something done
| il is for the workman and when he is OPP
posed to something II is for the manufac-
turer" hotly retorted Senator Aldrich in
reply to Senator Beveridges statement that
the senator from Rhode Island was better
informed on the steel mills but he himself
was better Informed upon conditions and
desires Of the working people" and that
what he was advocating would make more
/ full work days for the workman.
"And the senator from Rhode Island
| is always for the manufacturer and never
for the employees" was Mr Beverldgs's re-
jonder.
'The senator is presuming a good deal
when he makes that statement" said Mr.
Aldrich. The senator told me that he had
been Obliged, In view OF the political ex-
igencies-"
