The debate which l on the adoption of the motion pig the house to insist on its dispt was practically confined to Wilson on the one hand and :-Speak( r Keed on the other, although short spe lies were made by General Wheeler of Alabama and ex-Speaker Grow of Pennsylvania before tae vote was taken The ttb rances of Mr. Wilson, who was suffering intense pain and whose head was bound with a silk handkerchief that axti tided to his chin, so that he was practically blindfolded, created the most iptense enthusiasm among his Detnocrti ic colleagues. Every sentiment he uttered in opposition to the concwsioOr wliich the senate souglit to force Hpap^tbiudeil to the echo, and the clinaxwa he sent to the esk and had read a letter from kt C leveland declaring that the R' If are of the Democratic party ujHin the adherence to the latic principles upon which tlie 111 was framed.

’I he gentleman from West Virginia has been pleased to observe that in their private meet inus with the members of the conference board uu their side (the three other southern gentlemen and t he northern gentlemen In somewhat ill-health) they treated them in a tone almost of -stdocss in regard to their willingness to agree, but were held back by their "had partners,'’ tlie Jorkinses of the senate lint, unfort unately, in his confessie^ji. mood the gentleman from Wes' Virginia did not permit himself to give particulars. He stated that the members of l ie senate were "fettered,” but he did not state to what the "fetters" attached them. I hope when the conference committee next meets—the conference committee, and not the Democratic politicians, seven southern and one northern—we shall have a diagram printed as an aid to our memory so that we may know exactly to what amendment each senator is "fettered" and what the size of

tlie "fetter’’ is.

The senate bill is not what this country ought to have. It is not such a bill as would do justice to its industries, but th' house bill was so bad that almost any change in an upward direction was for the better. We believe, not in the success of the north, but in the success of the whole country, and we stand as ready to give the south the lieuetit of the laws of the land which make higher wages for men and an increase of wealth for all as freely and a i readily as we give* it to our own people. Chairman Wilson left as soon its the tariff debate in the bouse closed for his home in West Virginia. The conferrers do not expect to resume their sessions until next Monday, as they expect the rest of this week to be taken up by the senate in discussing the disagreement.

It was marked "personal,” but the president had consented that it be made public. In it Mr. Cleveland tool; a firm stand for the original Wilson bill and advised against any surrender to the senate. The letter expressed the hnj>e that Mr. Wilson would strenuously insist upon party honesty and good faith in the conference, believing that “these are absolutely necessary conditions to the eontinuauceof Democratic existence." After referring to the [Mjasibilities ami necessities of the conference, the letter says:

Wc have again and again promised that this should l>" acc.-rdcd to our people and our nmnufc tuivi as scion as the Democratic party was iiv i-steil with the power to cteterndne the tariff policy of the country. The party now has that power. We are as certain H lay as we have ever been of the great bei.elit that would accrue to the country from the inauguration of this policy, and nothing has occurred to release us from our obligation to secure this advantage to our people. It must he admitted that no tariff measure can accord with Democratic principles and promises or hear a genuine badge that does not provide for free raw material. In these circumstances it may well excite our wonder that Democrats arc willing to depart from this, the most Democratic of all tariff principles, and that the inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed departure should be emphasized by the suggestion that the

Washington, July 20.—The news of the reading ot President Cleveland’s letter \va- not long in traveling from the house to the senate. Information as to the contents of the document was urgently sought on both sides. After senators became familiar with its contents they gathered in groups to discuss the document, both with reference to points made by the president and his polic y in writing ;t. So intense and general was the interest that for two or three hours very little attention was paid to routine proceedings. While n i senator hesitated to express his views privately, the Democratic senators were loathe to submit to interviews for publication. They said that tlie '•trctinistances were unusual and that their action as a body, being in opposition to the position taken by the president, they could not give publicity to their opinions, whatever they might be. Republican senators were at lirst inclined to express themselves wry freely on the policy of the letter, but soon changed their jKilicy as if by common consent and said they preferred that th > Democrats should do the talking. TI 1 common expression of opinion tunon: senators was that the writing of such i letter was "very extraordinary.’’ Senator Hill said if tlie president had exercised bis influence to assist him in getting votes for free raw materials the unfortunate communication might have ! been avoided. Senator Brice thought it remarkable : that the letter should have lieen read, and added: "So far as the sugar schedule is concerned, it ts the administration schedule, and if the administration do s not want it we may take the house bill on the sugar question, it is the fabric of the bill as a whole that we are concerned with " Senator Murphy—I do not care to cti; icise the president. We will answer with our votes. Republican sentiment, with exceptions, was fairly summarized in the words of S-nator Hawley: "It is the great' -t mistake ever made by a president ami ought to be resented.” EFFECT OF THE LETTER. Some Stmattir* I>i*|m*4‘<i t4» Oppone Further Conference# Washington. July 20.—The effect of the president's tariff letter is problematical in the senate. Some emphatic declarations are being made in that body today, but it is hardly expected that any senator will express personal resentment. Yesterday afternoon tbet;e were several conferences among the Democratic leaders, and at first there was a disposition to refits further conference on the tariff bill. Tliis was advised by quite a number whif T.'lt very much aggrieved at the course taker in the house, but it did not gain sufficient support to lead to a conclusion that such notion would be taken. It was uiKtersto'xl before the letter appeared that several senators, among them Gormj’u, Smith and Brice, had announced a purpose to announce to the senate that only the senate bill could pass, and that any effort to change it would prove that there had been no modification 'f sentiment.
