Cincinnati, July 24.—There was a i headend collision on the Cleveland, CinI cinnati, Chicago and St. typuis road at ' Griffiths station, 15 miles from this city, yesterday.

At Griffiths a light running engine was running down to the gravel bank in charge of Engineer Hart. He forgot his orders. Knowing the St, Louis express was late, he pulled out and was met by the Chicago express. Hart will die with; out being able to tell how he made the mistake in orders.

At the . same time, if you recall it, I told you I ! had a great scheme for insuring umbrel- | las on the same plan?” "I believe Ido recall it., How did it come out?” e The man threw up his hands hope--1 lessly. “Well,” he said, “before that week i was out I had my umbreHa insurance ! company at work, with agents all over i town.

LEADERS ffl®. Senate Members Try to Find a Way Out of Their Difficulty. STAND TAKEN BY GORMAN. Senate’s Tariff Bill Defended and the President Criticised. SCENES OF REMARKABLE INTEREST. ■ . .X. Deep Feeling of Excitement Printed on Every Face mm the Marylander Reveals the Inside History of the Tariff Bill. On Material Point*, He Declare*, It Must Be the Senate Bill or No Bill. Extract h From a Speech Full of Senna* tioiiM Other New* of the Nation. Washington, July 24.—Immediately after the adjournment of the senate yesterday there was a conference of the Democratic leaders of that body. Among those present were Senators Gorman, Brice, Cockrell, Harris, Ransom and Blackburn, comprising most of the Democratic steering committee. The senators had a long talk, but when they departed no conclusion had been reached as to the best way out of the present delicate position in which the majority find themselves. The proposition for a caucus was discussed and some of the WWU F C’CxM. SENATOR VILAS. senators thought it would be wise to have a general conference of Democratic senators before any step was taken or a vote was had on any of the {lending propositions. „ . The matter of calling a caucus yas left for further consideration, and will no doubt be discussed among other senators and their views ascertained as to the advisability of taking such action. It is understood that a number of senators desire to say something on the subject of the tariff conference' report, and . wish to express themselves publicly before any definite steps be. taken for the disposal of the bill or sending it back to conference. Senator Vilas adheres to his purpose to press the fight on his sugar amendment. * Secretaries Gresham, Lamont and Smith and Postmaster General JBissell were in conference with the president at the white house last evening. The tariff situation was reviewed, but so far as can be learned lio conclusion?was reached. Secretary Carlisle'was at the white house later in the evening. REMARKABLE SESSION’. Exciting Incidents of the Tariff Issue In the Senate. Washington, July 24..—Perhaps no more remarkable scene wtts ever witnessed/in the United States senate than that which occurred these yesterday I when, for two and one-half hours, Sen- ; ator Gorman, the Democratic political • leader on the floor, delivered his speech against the president and in defense of the senate tariff bill. The galleries were packed to the doors and so great was the ; interest An Mr. Gorman’s speech that the members of the house flocked to the senate end of the capital and the house, being unable to hold a quorum, adjourned, Air. Gorman, with a frankness that | amazed those present, discussed party secrets, opened the door to party caucuses and flashed his searchlight into the dark corners of party history. The president was assailed with keenness and vigor by the leader of his party on the floor of the senate. He defended the senate tariff bill and its preparation and charged in terms that both Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Cleveland were not only aware of the concessions made in that bill to procure its passage through the senate, but that Mr. Carlisle had been consulted at every step and that Mr. Cleveland had sanctioned all that was done. His Attack on Cleveland. Mr. Gorman is a cool, easy talker, but he gives tone and gesture a dramatic effect that thrills his auditors. He was at 1 his best. One by one he called Senators i Vest, Jones and Harris as witnesses to ! the truth of his statements. Then, hav- ' ing freed fii niseif of all restraint, he told , ' the inside history of the conference over { ' the tariff bill. He even went back and I ; told the secrets of the Mills bill and the 1 St, ? Louis and Chicago platforms; and , the demands made upon the national Democratic committee by the sugar sen- i ators in 1892 His personal attack on the n. 11,01 Hie most sensa- > tional characterizations. He told how i he ha<(dared, when other men faltered, ■to walk with Cleveland .through the ■ •■filth and sliiih. or the campaign of 1884-;” how he and his colleagues b.a 1 : fought for tariff reform "when cowards, in high places V-ffi! not sLw hi-tr ■ 'heads;’ how Mr. ti- \ .mo had imi’. > "gibbet the senate before the eyes of the ; country” and said that. liis<aot<iou inust I be attributed to “consuming vanity"— .an action that was eeli ' io those wt-.o , ’"chirped when they talked." His.refer- ■ i onqes trf the president created so much j commotion in the galleries, sometimes '

of approval and sometimes of disap- , proval, that the presiding officer was obliged to call on them to preserve better order. v Senate Bill or Mo Bill. He was listened to with wrapt attention throughout his speech, a deep feeling of excitement being printed on every face. Among those who listened most earnestly was Sir Julian Pauncefote. the ; British minister, who was in the diplomatic gallery. In conclusion, Mr. Gorman practically warned his colleagues that on the material points it must be , the senate bill or no bill. Mr. White of California was the only other speaker of the day. While personally in favor of free iron and free iron ore, he too declared it to be the part of patriotism for the Democrats to stand together for the senate bill. After he concluded the senate adjourned with the . situation seemingly in as chaotic a state as eVff. CORMAN’S SPEECH. He Ilurln Bark the Preftlclent’s Imputations hikl Says They Are Infamous. Washington, July 24.—1 n the course • of his address on the tariff bill yesterday : and in criticism of the president’s letter, . Mr. Gorman said in part: As I have said, sir, this is a inhst extra- ' ordinary proceeding for a Democrat elected j to tiie highest place in the government to i join with the commune to traduce the sen I ate of the United States, to blacken the i character'of senators who are as honorable as they dare to be, who are as patriotic as they ever can be, who have done as much ! I to serve their party as the men who are | now the beneficiaries of your labor/and ; mine—to taunt and jeer us before the I country as the advocates of trusts, as l>eing guilty of hishonor and perfidy. It is time to speak. Thelimit of endurance has been reached. The senate owes it to itself Ever)’ senator here who is a member of the Democratic majority owes it. to himself There i-. no power, no matter how great in this country—not even the president, with his patronage—that would keep me silent longer under the,charges, under the impu tations fully made from such distin- i guished quarters. I hurl it back to him, and saj* that this treatment of his fellows is infamous. It is ! destructive to the government that men in I high position should attempt to lower this ' body, a body conservative, consisting of 88 i great representatives of states. It is com-j posed of men who represent the best I thought of the country, men who have I stood and battled for tariff reform when the cowards in higher places dared not t show 1 heir beads [applause in the galleries], men who. when another place was over | run and they had not the courage to stand | and fight a tyrant, stood here at the risk of health, at the risk of fortune, of ail that is clear, and saved the liberties of the conn try when cowards could not be seen Will Not Be Traduced Longer. AVe will not be traduced louger, Mr President: the facts must come. We have seen how this bill passed the senate; how onlj’ it could pass the senate. X'o man, whether in this or in another place, no matter what his position may be, who styles himself a Democrat, who believes in ! his party, can change materially this meas ure without defeating it. Who dare take j that responsibility? I cau imagine ’no ! man who could do it unless he was consumed with vanity and desired to set hi - judgment aboVe that of his fellows, or de sired to keep an issue before the people -that he might ride into power rather than ' give - content, and peace, and labor, and prosperity to his fellow countrymoß ST: I speak of the president of the .United ■ States with nothing but the kindesr -feel- . ings. ’ I have never in my life had any- ■ thing but the kindest feelings for him. .
