Senator Gorman Makes a Bitter Attaok on the President.

HIS RECENT LETTER IS DENOUNCED.

The Maryland Senator Accuses Mr. Clevs. iund of Duplicity In Ilia Position on the Tariff—Other Senators •. Corroborate Him.

GORMAN 18 HKAB1).

WASHINGTON, July 24.—When the senate oonvened Monday the battle over the conference report on the tariff bill was resumed before crowded galleries and a big attendance on the floor. At 12:28 the conforrees' report was laid before the .Senate, and Senator Gorman (dem., Md.) arose aud addressed the senate, speaking from carefullyprepared notes.

Senator Gorman said no one more than he upprcoiated the gravity of the situation. He drew a graphlo picture of the anxiety with which the country awaited the fate of the bill, the idle factories, the olosed workshops and the unemployed. Further suspense was neither to the best interests of the country nor of the democratlo party. He hoped that the senators would meet the situation as became patriotic men and duty-bound democrats.

He paid a high tribute to Senators Vest, Jones, Vourhees and Harris, those brave men whose laborious work had at last accomplished the feat of adjusting the differences between senate aud house and had made the passago of any bill possible.

Denounced the President.

The infamous calumnies heaoed upon the heads of the senate forced from his lips, he said, a plain, unvarnished statement of the facts. He would make it with malice toward none. In patriotism the democrats of the senate had gone to work to save the country and keep their party In power, when suddenly in the midst of the struggle cume the president's letter. "It was the most uncalled for, the most extraordinary, most unwise communication," said he, In bitter tones, "that ever came from a president of the United States. It places this body In a position where Its members must see to it that the dignity and honor of this ohamber must be preserved. It places me in a position where I must tell the story as It occurred. The lirait of endurance has been reached."

Received Their Indorsement. Senator Gorman then emphatically declared that during the progress of the committee's work In revising the house bill Senators Vest and Jones had frequent conferences with Secretary Carlisle and oftentimes with President Cleveland himself. He charged directly that every one of the senate amendments had been seen by Secretary Carlisle and scanned by him before they were ageed upon. He drew from his desk and had read an lntev view with Secretary Carlisle on April 80 in which the secretary of the treasury gave the same bill his sweeping indorsement. The secretary of the treasury necessarily spoke In a great measure for the president in matters relating to his department. On the morning following the publication of that interview the papers anuounced that the president was in entire aocord with his great secretary of the treasury. If thai was not true then the forty-two democratic senators on this side of the chamber had been misled. nest That Could Be Had.

As a compromise Senator Gorman asserted that the bill as completed was satisfactory to not a single, solitary human being in all its details, but as a whole tho structure presented was acceptable as the best bill that oould be passed. There was no suggestion anywhere, either from the president or the secretary of the treasury, that the bill as modified was a violation of the democratic principle.

Verified the Statement.

With dramatio emphasis Senator Gorman called upon Senators Vest, Jones and Harris to bear testimony as to whether his statements had varied a hair's breadth from the truth. "Let the people have the truth," said he, as he paused.

Senator Vest arose. He began by saying that he had not himself seen the president since the repeal of the Sherman law last summer, but with the secretary of the treasury he had frequent conversations. Mr. Carlisle had repeated and distinctly stated to him that the greatest possible calamity that could happen would be the failure of any bill.. He had distinotly stated to him that no difference in rates should be allowed to stand in tho way of the oonsummation of some scheme of tariff reform. His colleague, Senator Jones, had seen both Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Cleveland and they had both declared that the bill was acceptable to them. Senator Jones said: "I told tbe secretary of tbe treasury, after be hod upproved tbe bill, to lay It before the president. He promised to do so. Tbe next duy I called on the president and asked him 11 Secretory Carlisle bad done so. Tbe president snld yes. I then salil I wanted to know the attitude of tbe administration toward tbe bill, lie must, I told hlra. Indorse It or 1 would nol t'o farther with It. The president said be approved of what we had done, and would do all In his power to effect, a compromise."

Senator Vilas Jumped up with a question. "During that interview," he said to Senator Jones, "was anything said by you about putting a duty on coal and iron?" "Yes," Senator Jones exclaimed: "I told him distinctly that this duty had been put on."

President Wanted Free Coal and Iron. "But," persisted Senator Vilas, "was there a single interview between you and the president in which the president did not impress the hope for free coal and iron?" "There was not," Senator .Tones replied, "but he did not even suggest that putting cn 4u*i' Was an Abandonment of democratic prlncl? pies."

Senator Gorman then oalled on Senator Harris to affirm or contradict hie interview in the morning paper#, In which he was quoted as telling the story of the tariff legislation in the senate substantially as he (Gorman), Senator Vest and Jones had told It. Senator Harris said, in his usually Impressive manner, that the Interview was correct. "Did the president ever say to you," Senator Gorman asked l)in}, "that duty op ooal and iron ore wi^s $ violation ot democratic principle?" "No suoh sentiment was ever expressed to me," Senator Harris cried, melodramatically, "by the president, br anv. roembar of bis cabinet or by

any human being." Charges Cowtrri'f-. Senator Gorman spoke of tho deep regret that he was compelled to ask the public testimony of these senators. But the time had come to speak. The limit of endurance had beeu reached. Tha sennto had been traduced. An attempt had been made to "try and gibbet it before the oountry." These oharges had been "fouly made from distinguished souroeg." They must be met and refuted. The oharges were echoed by men "who chirped when he talked." These senators who had been summoned had fought for tariff reform when "oowards In high plaoos would not show their heads." Senator Gorman said ho oould oonceive no reason for the remarkable action that had been taken unless, perhaps, the one responsible for It was "oonsumed by vanity" in having the oountry regard him as the author of all that was right in tariff reform.

As Senator Gorman made each reference to the president there was a commotion In the galleries which compelled the presiding officer to interpose oonstant oautlons against further demonstrations.

Frlsndly to tbe President.

Senator Gorman said he had nothing but the kindest feeling for the president. He had labored hard to secure his eleotion on the oocaslon of his first candidacy. Raid he: "I stood by him when ho had but few who had the moral courage to walk through the slime and filth and uphold him." Ho had 6tood by him throughout his second and third campaigns for the presidency. He did it with an admiration for the man, with a belief that he would serve his country well, but he did it also in order that there might be democratic control in this government. The senator continued: "I have given the president a fair support ond an honest support: never subservient, never swayed by the want of patronage, ready to stand with him on whatever was right. I(e haB no oause for complaint against me. I am not his debtor. Let him answer for himself."

Senator Gorman next turned his attention to Senator Hill's speech of Friday Indorsing President Cleveland's letter. "That letter," said Senator Gorman, "was a godsend to the senator from New York [Hill.] It was the only comfort he has had from this administration." [Laughter.]

As the laughter continued Senator Hill arose and with good-natured deliberateness, said: "In the last proposition I will say that the senator trom Maryland is entirely correot."

Senator Gorman prooeeded to critioise Senator Hill's oourse, and asserted that the New York senator had throughout attempted to thwart his party.

The Letter Afiln.

Never before since the declaration of independence, Senator Gorman went on, had a president of the United States been guilty of such a violation of the spirit of the constitution as had Mr. Cleveland in writing his letter to Chairman Wilson. He handed to Senator Blackburn and had him read the extract from Washington's farewell address about the enoroachment of the executive on the powers of congress as subversive of the principles of the republic. There should b». he went on, no further oonoentration of power. Conference committees should be free from outside influences. "The liberty of the senate should not be invaded," he said in thunderous tones, "though 1,000 hirelings write us down and traduce us."

The president, he continued, had said it would be dishonorable to tax coal and iron. The house, parrot-like, repeated the cry. "Men who set up high standards," said the senator, "should come to us with clean hands."

Defended the Compromise. Senator Uorman then defended the secate bill at length and in considerable detail. He saw fit to refer to the time the president was nominated "in the dead of night, with the wind howling, the rain falling, the thunder crashing and everybody in that building afraid for his life."

Then he told how President Cleveland In his letter of acceptance of that nomination had declared for freer, not free, raw materials. "And but for that delaratlon he could not," Senator Gorman exclaimed, "in my opinion, have been elected." llouae Should Recede.

Senator Gorman ended at 2:45. He declared that the conference commits tee had a difficult duty to perform. Almost Irreconcilable differences blocked the way. He believed there would be an agreement. He hoped the senate couferrees would say to the house eonferrees that the laws must be obeyed, and that the law was that when one house of congress proposed to change an existing law and a difference of opinion existed as to how much ohange should be made, the house proposing the most radical change should adopt the less radical propositions of the other.

Senator White (dem., La.) followed in favor of insisting an the senate bill. At 8:38 the senate adjourned.

BYNOL'STS OF THR AROUMKNTB. CHICAGO, July vU, What is considered by labor loaders und their onumwl to be one of the most important legal battles In tho nntton's history wns begun in the United States circuit court at 1.0 a. m. Monday before Judges Orosseup and Wood, when President Debs, Vice President Howard. Secretary Kellher and Director Kogers, of the American Railway union, by their attorneys, W. W. Erwin, S. S. Gregory ana John F. (Seeting, tiled their answer to the contempt rule issued by the court against them last week, and came themselves into court to make a return to the writ.

Dig Attendance at Court.

When court opened the audience was so dense that Judge Grosscup ordered all excluded who could not obtain seats. The defense was represented by W. W. iirwin, S. S. Gregory aud John F. Geoting. The government counsel were District Attorney Milohrist. Assistant District Attorney Hand and Special Counsel Edwin Walker. Attorney Meagher represented the Michigan Central railroad. The Santa Fe railroad, which has a petition for a writ of attachment for contempt, filed at tho same time tho proceedings on behalf of the government were begun, was represented by John S. Miller, ex-cor-poration counsel, and E. A. Bancroft.

Appearance of Debn and the Others. The defendants, Debs. Howard, Rogers and Keliher, were brought in by Marshal Arnold, and Vr. Erwin retired with them to the jury-room for consultation. Mr. Gregory offered a motion to quash the writ beuause of the inefficiency of the supplemental information. This motion was laid over for the present.

Attorney Gregory then made with the suggestion that the hearing of Debs and the others be*postponed until after this trial under the indictments pending against them, but the suggestion was not entertained by the court.

The Information.

Mr. Gregory then made a motion to dismiss the bill and discharge the defendants, on which the court heard arguments. Mr. Milchrlst next read the information filed by the government, setting out the injunction gi*anted bj* the court and the allegations as to violations of this injunction by the defendants.

The information has been published heretofore. It recited the telegrams sent by Debs to other officials of the American Railway union, and that the work of organizing the railway employes into lodges of the American Railway union after the issuance of the writ of injunction was issued.

Mr. Milchrist argued that the facts set out in the information proved that the strike, with its interruption of interstate commerce and obstruction of United States mails, was due to the orders of Debs and his associates, and that they could, If they had so desired, stopped the strike at any time.

Details of the Annwcr.

Then Attorney Erwin stepped forward aud read tlie answer of the defendants. The important portions of the document Mr. Erwin read slowly and with distinct emphasis. A synopsis follows:

The answer said that the object of the American Railway union was the protection of till its members In their rlghtfl. By Its laws a itrike oan only bo ordered by the vote of tta members. Tbe answer denied that the defendants ordered the employe* of the Illinois Central or of any other roud to leave their work. This notion had been taken by tho men themselves. It was denied that the object of the men in quitting was to hinder or impodu the p&Hsage of the mulls or interstate commerce.

Claim Injuuctlon Wat Obeyed. The defendant.* deny that after the service of the injunction they or either of them carried on the work of organization other than by generally advising railroad employes to become members of such union and receiving to membership pcrnons so applying therefor as aforesaid. They expressly deny that the organization of said unions upon said roadu or any of then) coufprred upon its officers or directors authority to order strikes aa alleged In the information, but on the contrary allege that strikes could only be ordered upon said road by tho einployos themselves and that such employes were in no manner subject to the authority or control of said Auioi^-an Railway union. They deny that orders to strike were at auy time or In auy manner communicated by said American Railway union to said loeal unions, as alleged in suio '^formation.

S«nt Hut One Telegram.

The defendants deny that any one of the telegrams set forth in said Information was sent or caused to be sent by them or any of them, or that they authorized or approved the sumo or any one thereof, except a certain telegram dated July 0. 18W, as follower "We have assurance that within forty-eight hours every labor organization in this country will come to our rescue. The light is on, and our men are acquitting themselves like heroes. Here and there one weakens, but our cause is strengthened by a dozen going out in his place. Bvery true man must quit now and remain out until the light is won. There oan be no half-way ground. Men must be for us or against us. Our cause is gaining ground dally our success is only a question of a few days. Dou't falter in this hour. Stand erect and proclaim your manhood. Labor must win now or never. Our victory will be positive and complete. Whatever happens, do not give credence to rumors and newspaper reports."

This telegram, defendants admit, was caused to be sent by defendant Debs, as alleged. but save as hereinbefore admitted defendants allege that they had no knowledge or notice whatever of the sending of said telegrams or of the contents thereof until the tiling of the information.

They deny tiiat auy other telegrams similar in form and character to those in said Information sent out were sent by the defendant Debs,or any of the defend^u^y wl\h the knowledge, authority qr approval of any of said other defendants at auy time after the service of said writ of injunction upon said defendants, and deny that any employes cf any of the railway companies named In suld injunction were induced by reason of any telegram sent or caused to be sent by the defendants, UP any pX them, Uy threats, iuilmidatlon. foree of ilu* ienee %o leave the service uf said railway companies, or that the transportation of the United States iuall« and interstate commerce were thereby in any way hindered, or delayed or prevented.

At this Juncture court was adinnrncl until 2 o'clock.

Mr. (jrrRory's Tien

At 2 o'clock Mr. Orcfjorv continued his argument. He read a decision of Chancellor llland, of Maryland, holding that In a case of contempt hased on disobedience of an order of court the answer of the defendant, if it fully •lrnies the charge or justitles the conduct of the accused, the latter must he discharged. This rule always applied, he said, in cases where the charge Is that of criminal contempt, as in the present case, hi a proceeding in which the court could administer correction or take some action which would Induce the accused to obey its order a different rule might apply. In a case like the present, in which the act had beeu dor.e and could not be undone, a case for punishment simply, the answer of the defendants could not be traversed or denied. Mr. Gregory said it had not been shown what property rights of the government were involved in the alleged violation of the Injunction. Nothing appeared in the bill to warrant a departure from the established rules of the federal courts. Mr. (iregory said tho injunction restrained the defendants from preventing tho employes by threats, Intimidation, force, violence or persuasion from performing their duties, or induoing them by threats, violence, force or intimidation to leave the service of the roads. In the injunctional order the word persuasion was stricken out.

The attorney proceeded with his argument and contended that as long as people obeyed the laws they could not bo held responsible for the lawlessness of others. He admitted there was violence In the recent strike and the men who committed it were guilty of violating the injunction. The people who advised violence were also guilty, but there was not a line In the information that the defendants either committed or advised any violent acts.

Position of the iiovernmoiit. Attorney Walker then arose and made a short, crisp speech for the prosecution. lie first, reviewed the facts set forth in the information and then took tip one by one the chargesoi the bill. He said: "We claim thiit the transmission o( ihost letters and telegrams was willful vlolntlon of tho Injunction. Does this answer, although It be verltlod. purge the contcmpt and ran the defendants go out of court free ineii We ought to have the right to bring witnesses tc challenge -.he truthfulness of the allegations of such answer, although we do not charge that the answer is not true. "Our position In this: The strike and boycott emanated from the officers of the American Hallway union, and theso defendants were to blame for It. They are responsible for every act of violence, evpry murder, every assault which followed the Issuance of their orders. They say they did not Issue the orders—we desire to probe their source. One thing we know they admit the violence and boast of It.

Court, at the conclusion of Mr. Walker's argument, adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when Mr. Erwin will present his argument lor the defense on the motion to dismiss the contempt proceedings.

SHANGHAI, July 24.—It is generally believed here that Japan docs not desire a pacific settlement of the Corean dispute. As evidence of this attention is called to the fact that so soon as one difficulty Is overcome Japan Immediately raises another. The latest attitude of the king of Corea In the crisis is supposed to be duo to China's decided measures to insist upon her olaiins to sovereignty over the Corean peninsula. The reports that Franoe and Russia will support Japan against China are pronounced absolutely groundless.
