WASHINGTON,

July 25.—When th«

morning business was dispatched in the senate unci Senator Harris, descending from tlio chair, had culled up the conference report on the tariff, Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) was on his feet and was immediately recognized for a speech, lie agreed, ho said, at the outset with Senator vJorman that the democratic party was in the midst of a great crisis. The democratic party, after such a long struggle In the minority, had at last been Intrusted with power. It had gone to work to redeem the pledges it had made. The greatest of those was that to reform the tariff. The house had passed a tariff bill which, aside from the income tax feature, seemed to meet with general satisfaction and approval. As it passed this senate, however, after long, weary months of debate, it was not satisfactory aud it violated the pledges of the party. It went to conference. The house conferrees were confronted with the fact that the senate had made the bill inconsistent, had made it unworthy of demooratio support They rejected the duty on coal and iron ore. They refused to yield aud there was no hope that they would yield. If they insisted upon their attitude and the senate was obstinate all jjrospect of tariff legislation was at an end. XJis [Hill's] motion that the senate recede from the coal and iron duties was in the lino of an agreement. It would do no good to obstinately adhere to the position taken when the bill was passed.

Concessions Must lie Made. "Do you see any signs of yielding on the part of the house?" he asked, addressing his demooratic colleagues. "Hacked by the public press of the country, by the demooratio masaes, and the president of the United States, as It undoubtedly is, the house will never yield. Why not yield on these two points and see whether it does not lead to-an agreement."

He was not, he said, talking about Senator Vilas' motion recede from the differential in favor ol' the sugar trust. But concessions must and should be made if the bill was to become law.

In Sympathy with the President. Senator Hill said he was in sympathy with the president's letter to Chairman Wilson. Its sentiments were his sentiments. The president violated no clause of the constitution when he sent that letter. lie had the right to do it. It was a private communication. The question as to making' it publio was one to be decided by its sender and receiver. It was one with which senators had nothing to do. No democrat on this floor could controvert the position taken by Mr. Cleveland in that letter, lie saw that to place a duty on coal and iron would be to violate the platform declarations of the party and would place the party, whose suooess he desired, in a false and indefensible po-

were in sympathy with Mr. Clevelan* Democratic olubs and democratic conventions all over the country had indorsed the Wilson bill in respect to free raw materials. On the other hand, the senate bill had been received everywhere with signs of disapproval.

Gormau Taken to Task.

Senator llill referred to Senator Gorman as "ever frank and bold." He took the Marylander severely to task for his utterances on Monday. He read from President Cleveland's message of 1SS7 to prove that Senator Gorman had erred in saying that Mr. Cleveland had in that message said nothing in favor of free raw materials.

Neither did Senator Hill believe that Mr. Cleveland oould be held responsible for the unofficial utterances of Secretary Carlisle, but, referring to the official utteranoes of the secretary of the treasury, he pointed out that until this present question arose both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle were consistent and in harmony.

Continuing, Senator Hill advanced a step toward Senator Gorman, and referring to the latter's speech cn Monday said, with emphaslst "The senator revealed private conversations which had taken plaoe between him and the president. What for? It was to place the president In a false position before the country. I have my grievance with the president. I owe him nothing. But I believe itrny duty to new defend him and I shall do so."

Gorman's Admission.

Commenting on Senator Gorman's admission of having assured the su^ar men before President Cleveland's election that sugar would have a duty, he demanded by what right Senator Gorman had given that assurance, aud he denied that the democratic party was bound to carry out such a promise, "even though the senator from Maryland never breaks his word."

In repeating Senator Gorman's declaration that an altered bill could not pass the senate, he recalled tho fact that during the Sherman repeal fight Senator Gorman had declared that unconditional repeal was impossible. "But it did pass," he cried.

Will Fight the luc-ome Tax. Iiis defense of Mr. Cleveland was followed by ft condemnation of the inoome tax In whloh Senator Hill again threw down the gauntlet and deiined his future policy with regard to it. He said he wanted to defeat "the populistic income tax," and added: "I shall resort to every honorable method by which it can be done. If I can plaoe this bill in such a position that you cannot pass it with income tax in it I shall do it. I do not know that it can be done, but I shall make certain suggestions to that end." N

Gormau Ask* Question.

Senator Hill begun his peroration with a renewal of his attack on the income tax and was interrupted by Senator Gorman with a question whether, if the senate would recede from every amendment, placing a duty on ooal, sugar, iron and wool, Senatoi fitll would vote for the bill.

Senator Gorman asked the question In an impressive manner and iimmediately every oeeupant of a seat on the £opr or In

the

gallerv leaned forward

to catch his reply. Tho answer was disappointing. "Mr. President," aaid Senator liill quite as Impressively as Senator Gorman, "I will cross that bridge when 1 get to it." A surprised "Ah" came from the audience, but a minute later their disappointment was assuaged. "I understand the bluff of the senator from Maryland," began Senator Ilill. "If you think he's blufUng, why oall him," suggested Senator Gray (Del.).

Coming to the question of Senator Gorman without delay, Senator Ilill said, turning to the former and shaking his head at him for emphasis) "Take off the duties and place those things on the free list [and then I will talk to you as to how you will vote and I will vote." [Great applause.]

Ills Humorous Conclusion.

The senator ended cleverly and humorously by turning the tables on Senator Gorman for referring to him as lago. "I might liken this attack on our president," he said, to the great conspiracy of Rome. I would [pointing to Gorman] oall the distinguished senator from Maryland the lean and hungry Cassius." Then, leaning toward Senator Gorman, he uttered in a stago whisperi "He thinks too muoh," He likened Senator Jones to honest Brutus and Senator Vest to Casoa and Senator Harris to MarteH us Cimber, and finished with: "It Is the same plea as when they killed Ceosur, not that they loved him less, but that they loved Rome more. And with these gentlemen It is not that they love Cleveland less, but that they love their party sad this bill better. With Maro Antony I say: 'Yet with all the private grievances they have, they nre ail wise and honorable men'

There was much laughter und applause as Senator Hill bowed and sat down, and many on the floor rushed up and shook his hands In congratulation.

CafTery's Amendment.

Senator Caffery rose when Senator Hill sat down and offered an amendmend, instructing the Benate conferrees to Insist on the Insertion in the bill of a bounty of nine-tenths of a cent on sugar testing over ninety degrees and of eight-tenths of a ceut between eighty and ninety degrees. This was an amendment prepared by Senator Jones (Ark.) for insertion in the bill, but it was never offered. In speaking to this amendment Senator Caffery warmly defended the president for the views expressed in his letter to Chairman Wilson.

Senator Teller interrupted Senator Caffery to ask how he would act towards the bill If sugar were made free. "I have always said and say now," said the Louisiana senator, "that if free sugar is put in the bill, I will not vote against it. I hope that is emphatic." At 3:05 p. m. the senate adjourned.

Warm Discussion In Caucus. WASHINGTON", Julyiifl.—Senators Hill, Murphy and Irby were the only democrats at the capltol Tuesday who did not respond to the tariff caucus call. Senator Hill was not notified oi the intention to hold a caucus until the last minute, and then deolined to' enter it because of his attitude on the bill. Senator Irby left the capitol without giving any explanation of his absence. Senator Murphy went away pleading an engagement. The caucus continued for three hours and, without reaching any conclusion and taking a vote on any proposition, adjourned until today at 8 o'clook, when another meeting will be held.

It was recognized from the beginning that Senator Vilas' motion to strike out the differential duty on sugar occupied a most important position in the present controversy, and several senators intimated that until there could be assurances of its withdrawal no conclusion could be reached in caucus. Senator Vilas und those who stood with him, including Senators Mills and Palmer, expressed great concern over the passage of a bill of some character, and united in saying that while they considered tho senate bill as preferable to the McKinley law they thought the chances for the passage of a bill would be greatly improved by the elimination of the differential, oil account of the temper of the house. They indicated a willingness to withdraw the Vilas motion in case an agreement could be reached on a proposition for a straight ad valorem duty and some of those present formed the impression that they would.be tvllling to raise the rate from 40 to 45 per cent. Senator Palmer advanced this proposition. The only motion made during the afternoon was one by Senator Jarvis to send the bill back to conference without instructions, and while nothing like a vote was taken the indications now are that this motion will prevail in the end.

How the l'renld«ut F««ls.

WASHINGTON, July '25.—It is evident that the president is not troubled over Senator Gorman's speech. The president's closest friends say he dismisses it good naturedly. "If my letter has served to rouse the dormant senate to action, it has served a good public purpose," said the president toa caller. A friend of the president says the executive will make no answer to the attacks of senators.

The Court Hules for the Introduction of Evldeuve to l'rove Contempt.

CHICAGO,

July "5.—The uttorneys on

both sides of the case against lJebs, Kellilier, Howard und Rogers, ou trial for contempt of court, argued nearly all day Tuesday for und against the contention that the answer of the defendants to the information filed by the government was sufficient to purge them of contempt, and no evidence should be admitted bearing on the charge. When they had concluded a consultation was held between Judges Grosseup and Woods, resulting in a decision to the effect that the prisoners could not be discharged upou their verified answer to the allegations of the information. The court held that it was the privilege of the government to produce witnesses or other proofs to the truth of its charges of contempt und that they could be rebutted by similar testimony on the part of the defense. The opening of tlie examination was set for to-day at 10 a. in. By the decision the defendants are driven from their first entrenchments and President Delis und his associates will be compelled to stay in jail or to go out under bonds until the conclusion of the examination. This may take a week, or it may take a mouth or more.
