 Washington,~May 2s.-The word in ones in Washington this session of congress, and there are many and varied kinds, according to statements made on the floor of the house. Rep resentative Hamilton Fish of New York in his speech the other day took occa- sion to speak of new brand of in surgents and incidentally to describe what insurgency really is. As he is one of the leading insurgents himself, he ought to know.
 This is what he said:
 A new brand of insurgents was de- Veloped in the consideration of the re te bill Whether we call them New Eng land or New Haven republicans, it is imlnsterial. Suffice it to say among them was the gentleman from Massa- chusetts MT. Weeks, who was so in- and also that devoted follower of the speakers, MT. Tilson.
 Let us be frank with one anotheF. The definition of insurgency depends largely upon who construes it. It is case of the old familiar definition of orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is my dOXy. Heterodoxy is another mans doxy."
 During the discussion Saturday af- ternoon MT. Hill also paid his respects to MT. Foss of Massachusetts. who lad just made a speech on free trade. MT. Hill said in part: T have listened with great pleasure to the remarks of the E would be glad to see many of the ideas which he has propounded carried into law. I wish to remind him that the idea of reciprocity which he so happily advanced and which was in the Me Kinley law was killed by the action of the democratic party in the passage of the Wilson bill.
 T wish to say to him further that reciprocity with Cuba. the first at tempt to pass it in this house, was killed by a solid democratic vote, by votes of the men with whom he is now associating, coupled with the votes of 33 men on this side.
 "A year ago, when the tariff bill was being framed by the ways and means committee, of which l was a member, the gentleman from Massa- chusetts was d republican. and at the hearings over in the office building no word was ever received from him or from the institution with which he was association, great, magnificent manu- featuring establishment; no word from the great capitalist, which I recognize him to be, that he was in accord then with the views which he is now adVo- eating for the reduction of the duty on his own product. We had it from other people, and will read him what voted for in his absence-for a reduction on cash registers. jute manufacturing ma linotype and typesetting ma chimes, printing presses. sewing ma chimes, typewriters, and all steam en- zines. 30 per cent. instead of 45. l was in favor of putting sewing ma chimes still lower, to Is per cent The only reason why we did not, I think, may possibly have affected the gentle mans action now. l was afraid that American manufacturers would take their capital abroad as many are do- ing. and manufacture under European wages and send their own products into the United States.
 Now when the gentleman from comes and says that all these products could bear lower duty I ask him why did he not come, s republican, before the ways and means and testify to it then. and include his own2"
 Later in the day MT. Hill also made a set speech on the tariff and included in it an article recently published fin a magazine entitled How Taft Views His Own Administra tion."
