MET THE CHARGES.

Sonator Vilas Raisos His Voice it Defense of the President.

HIS ANSWER TO SENATOR GORMAN.

lie iH'tili'h That Mr. Cleveland llatt Dees Guilty of Duplicity In Ills Attitude on the Tariff--A Motion to itocede Voted Down.

VILAS IS UEAHD.

WASHINGTON, July ST.—The tarifl conference report was culled up.in tho senate Thursday by Senator Jones. Sonator Vilus was immediately recognized, but yielded to Senator Qua}', who withdrew the amendments ho offered just before adjournment Wednesday.

The Wisconsin senator then began his speouh by saying that an extraordinary scene occurred on Monday last in the senate. A democratic senator, said he, saw fit to attack the president, without precedent, he thought, or, if there was a precedent, it was one that ought to bo shunned instead of followed. It was a personal assault upon the president aud his oharaoter. Senator Vilas considered it his duty to rcplv to that assault. He would speak as the personal as well as the political friend of the president.

ITttlfte Charges.

By :i discoloration of facts Mr. Cleveland had been placed in a false light before the country. "What were the points of accusation," Inquired Senator Vilas, "in the remarkable assault to which I have alluded?" lie regretted, he said, that Senator Gorman was absent from the senate chamber. The first accusation, ho proceeded, was that the president WHS open to the charge of duplicity. That was based upon a letter in which Mr. Cleveland expressed the hope that iron and coal should go on the free list, in the tariff bill. The second was that the executive had bv that eticrouched on the prerogatives of congress and third that the president had traduced the seuate. Those charges were true or false, not as a matter of argument, but as a matter of fact.

What was there to show the truth of the accusations of the senator from Maryland'.' The inference of the evidence appeared to him to be pure and simple. l,et us. be said, consider iron and coal as tit subjects for taxation. In this connection Senator Vilas thanked Senator llill for his defense of the president. Never did he appear to belter advantage nor more ably argue than when he presented his views to the senate on this matter Tuesday.

Senator Vilas reviewed the various tariff messages of the president which, he said, embraced no novelty with reference to coal and iron not familiar to his party friends. Could it be presumed, in view of these enunciations, that that distinguished man, Mr. Cleveland, could lay aside his views on tariff reform.

Had No Direct Evidence.

Senator Vilas then drew Senator Gorman, metaphorically, over the coals for detailing private conversations with the president. There had been no direct testimony presented, he said, by Senator Gorman or his witnesses, that the president had acted with duplicity. The senator from Arkansas (Jones) one of Senator Gorman's witnesses, had said that he laid the 400 amendment, to the tariff bill before the president and now the president was accused of haviug agreed to all of them. How oould the president agree to all of those detailed amendments? Hmv many senators could give a detailed acoount of these amendments and their effect on the business of the country? The president had merely considered these things generally, devoting his attention and his remarks to the great principle involved in free coal and free iron. He (Vilas) had asked the senator from Arkansas if the president had not expressed to him the hope that free coal and free iron would be the outcome of this great question, and the senator from Arkansas answered truly that on every ocoaslon suoh was the fact.

Who oould say that there had been a lack of openness on the president's part that this bill before Its perfection would carry free coal and free iron ore. On this single statement of the senator from Arkansas he would be content to let rest this charge of duplicity on the part of that great oftlcerof thegovernmen t.

Xu DupUclty Displayed.

The president had not endeavored to infringe on the prerogatives of the senate and not with qualms of duplicity, but with the same open manner that had always characterized him. lie said to the chairman of the ways and means comtniltc that he hoped that the result might be aooompllshed in conference with referenoe to free coal aud iron, as he had a perfect right to do. Who would gainsay that the president had not as much right to give It is views on this question as freely after his conversation with the senator from Arkansas as he had before.

Vila. Grow. Vehoment.

Senator Vilas maintained that the president's letter was not an executive document. It was a personal letter, and the measure of its personality might bo gauged by a consideration of its contents. Was it not more the outpourings of an honest democratic heart to democratic colleagues than an infringement on the prerogatives of the legislative branon? Opuld he not speak to mem bers of th$ &0UM of representatives as •well as to senators of the United States?

During these remarks Senator Vilas became vehement and he continued to be so for some time. In thunderous terms of accentuation he cried out that the senator from Maryland was apparently of the opinion that he had the right to direct the president, bu the president had no right to express his views.

Cry of "Excotillve Interference." Senator Vil^s then quoted and ranged alongside of Mr. Cleveland's utterance the statement of Senator Gorman that the senate bill could not pass if it did not have the heart}' support of Mr. Cleveland. "At the very time when the president was writing his letter to Mr. Wilson," Senator Vlla» on dramatically, "the lenaio? bom Maryland »nd his ftoadjutort were appealing to Mr. Cleveland to Induoe him to support them in an effort tq auaJiiv the anaataaaot of d«mQQra.tia

principles instead of crystali/.ing thom into law. How utterly wanton is this cry of Interference nowi because he has seen fit to throw the weight of his inlluenoe with the house in favor of democratic principles, because he refused to stand with them, they make his action a ground of complaint here and in horror cry out against 'executive interference.'"

Senator Vila, referred to the fact that President Washington oame to the same chamber aooompanied by his secretary to urge In person the ratification of a treaty he had negotiated. President Jaokson'. oourse in making his views felt by congress was also referred to- Senator Vl]aa said hp was content to leave to falr-mindea men whether the president had wantonly encroachcd upon the rights of congress.

The Henate Not Traduced.

The oharge was made that the senate had been traduced. Extracts from the letter to Mr. Wilson were read to show that the president's purpose was not to traduce the senate, but plainly to state his aspirations toward tariff reform. The president had stated that the abandonment of the great party principle would be perfidy aud dishonor. No one would question suuh an abandonment of prinolple would be dishonorable. The shaft was not aimed at any senator. It was not a personal accusation.

Senator Vilas said the view of the senator from Maryland (Gorman) could mean only one thing. It was an effort to array democrats together in a spirit of resentment and thus carry out the compromise of tariff reform. The Wilson bill had passed amid public acclamation. The people accepted It as the honest execution of a party and public pledge. But when this revenue-reform measure reached the senate iron and coal were placed on the dutable list. Moreover it was debated week in and week out. The public was wearied at that debate and yet the senate could reaoh no result. It was at this juncture that the senator from Arkansas (Jones) had brought forward over 400 amendments. These were to be the solution of the problem and were to bring the debate to a close. Still the discussion proceeded fifty-seven days. Senator Vilas said he had recognized the necessity of yielding to these amendments, it was essential to have a revision of the existing tariff quickly. It was essential, too, to reinforce a depleted treasury.

ICulogy of the President.

In conclusion Senator Vilas eulogized the personal character and public integrity of Mr. Cleveland In the most glowing terms, declaring with dramatic fervor that the president of the United States, who had received so many evidences of the honor and respect of the American people, could not suffer from this unjustifiable at tack of the Maryland senator.

Vila. Withdraws Ills Motion. At the conclusion of his speech Senator Vilas explained that, in view of the fact that Senators Gorman, Urice and Smith had assured him that his motion to recede irom one-eighth differential in favor of the refiners of sugar must fail, aud the further fact that a democratic caucus had decided to agree to a further conference without Instructions, he would withdraw his motion. iierused to Kecede.

After some general remarks by Senator Stewart against the interference of the exeoutive with the legislative branch of the govorument Senator Hill's motion that the senate recede from its amendments placing a duty of 40 cents a ton on coal and iron ore was voted upon and defeated, the republicans, except Senator Hansbrough joining the democrats, bound by the caucus agreement against it. The vote stood 6 to 65 and 6 to 04. Senator Irby was the only other democrat except Senator llill who voted for free coal and iron. The populists. Senators Allen. Kyle and Peffer, also voted in the alHrmative.

Senator Washburn renewed Senator Vilas' motion to instruct the conferees to recede from the o:ie-eighth differential on refined sugars, but Senator Gray Immediately made the point of order against it that it was not competent for the senate to instruct in a "full and free" conference. The point of order was debated for some time, but had not been decided when the senate adjourned.

AT.I. WORK ST'SI'K.NIIKI).

ST. PAUL, Minn., July 27.—As indicated from various points in Minnesota, North and South Dakota and northern Iowa Thursday was one of the. hottest ever recorded in the northwest. From 100 to 112 in the shade is reported. The long continued heat is proving disastrous to crops. Wheat in South Dakota is reported nearly all out of the way. lint corn must have rain Immediately to save it. The same conditions exist in northern Minnesota. Reports from northern Iowa say corn is injured beyond the power of rain to restore. The situation is some better in North Dakota. Following are some of the records reported:

Mankato, 102: Faribault, 108 St. James, 100 Caledonia, 104: Bird Island, 102 Yankton. S. 1.)., 110 Vermillion, 112 Sioux Falls, 110 Pierre, 104 Huron. 100: Itismnrck, 110. Although the heat was almost unprecedented in the Twin Cities no cases of sunstroke are reported.

AUSHAI.I.TOWN, la., July 27.—Thursday was the worst day ever known in Iowa. The unprecedented drought and heat has reached a crisis that means almost incalculable loss to farming districts. The temperature ran up to 108 degrees in the shade in this oity, and a fierce, hot wind swepi over the fields from the southwest, scorching the withering vegetation. The corn crop has been suffering for rain for weeks, but the terrible heat fairly cooked it and it is not now believed there will be one-fourth of an average crop. Two or three days more like this will practically ruin it. Pastures are long since dead. Meadows yield scarcely any hay, and they are burning in several directions, being fired by passing trains. Potatoes in this section are. a failure. Streams and wells are dry that were never before known to fail. Nothing like the present condition cau be recalled by the earliest pioneers, and this may be marked as The hottest and most disastrous day to Iowa crops in the state's history. Farmers and business men alike are almost panicstricken over the outlook. There has been no rain of consequence here since the 1st of May.
