PROTEST TO CONGRESS

1,000 Toilers Match Through the Streets of Washington, Adopt Eesolntiong Against tho Tariff bill. Visit the Capitol and Present Thcia to Senators. QUAY HEADS THE PAPERS Senator Dolph Discusses the Tariff and the Income Tax. On tho Latter Question Ho Evokes a Spirited Colloquy Hepburn Threatens tho House Majority, WASHINGTON", April 21.-More than one thousand workingmen from Philadelphia. and New Jersey marched down Pennsylvania avenue to-day to emphasize their protest agalnrt the Wilson tariff Mil. Men and women were in line, marching four abreast under the American flag and fluttering banners dip!ayins mottoes opposed to the Wilson Mil. The special Baltimore & Ohio train from Philadelphia carried C70 men. This delegation was met by the company of 2) which, arrived yesterday. In the front rank was carried a great silk American flag, which had been donated by John Wanamaker for the demonstration. Uehlnd was a black banner with the legend In jrold letters: "Nonpartisan delegation of American wrorklngmen from Bristol, united In defense of their homo industrle3 and to prevent their transfer to nations hostile to a democratic? or republican government." The procession marched to Metzerot Hall by way of Pennsylvania avenue. Many Senators and Congressmen walking up the avenue at that hour to the Capitol viewed the parade curiously, and one of them was Senator Quay. No demonstration of any eort was made by the spectators. Gathering in Metzerott's Hall, the committees delegated to wait upon various Senators made their reports. Ephralm Rlgg reported that Senator Voorhees, the chairman of the finance committee. In charge cf the bill, had been written to and had been called for at his home and at the Senate, but could not be found. Jeers greeted this announcement. Delegates who had called upon Senators Brice, Smith and Murphy reported that those Senators could cot be found. Senator Hill had promised to meet the delegates at noon, and Senators Cameron and Quay had promised to 3o all in their power to bring the memorial Of the convention to the attention of the Senate. The resolutions adopted by the special committee were read by Secretary M. J. Kelly. They were addressed to "the Fifty-third Confess of the United States," and were as follows: "At a mass meeting of representative wage earners of the United States assembled In Washington, this 20th day of April, 1SD4, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: "Whereas, for nearly ten months the business of this country has been paralyzed, the promises of improvement in consequence of certain financial legislation not having bee i realized, and "Whereas, we see ourselves and others deprived of the means of livelihood by re-aeon of threatened revision of tariff laws, under which we had been so prosperous and by the continuance of which, without prospect of change, we feel assured that all the business would be restored to its former prosperous condition, and "Whereas, the wages of labor In thl3 country under unassailed protection custom laws have been fully twice that of the highest in any other country, and "Whereas, any reduction in the customs duty on any article manufactured or produced in this country means a corresponding reduction in the wages of labor employed in it3 manufacture or production, and "Whereas, in our own free country the Interests of one class of workmen are the interests of all, and "Whereas, we believe that all laws framed by our representatives should be for the Benefit of their constituents, the people of the United State-, and not the people of other countries; therefore. "Resolved, That we. the authorized representatives of millions of American workmen, without distinction of party, hereby respectfully demand of cur representatives In the Congress of the United States that no changf shall be made In existing laws that shall In any way deprive us of the capacity to earn the full amount of wages to which we were accustomed during the years in which there were no prospective or threatened changes in tarifT laws, to prevent us from providing for our families better homes, better education and more comforts than in any other country on the face of the globe." Then follows a memorial addressed to i5-KiKhtIIo?.oral,e ,5o,J' of United i .k c , Presenting for considera tion the objections cf the memorialists to making the Wilson tarifT bill a law of the land.

Outside of the hall the delegates reformed in line of march with the committ?r th ST ?,tl0n? l?tht Ie:ul antl headed h Vf- fr?nt of the Peace eelJer and. dividing into small parties the workingmen poured through the v.m,. entrances to the Capitol. Their committee of twelve went directly to the office of the within the precincts of the chamber, and drew near. There was no speech-making. The resolutions were handed to the Senators by Chairman George Walsh. After th presentation of the resolutions the committee was handed over to an officer of the Senate, who escorted the twelve to fonts in the reserved gallery. The public galleries were already occupied with solid lines of workingmen with the tri-color rib-t-ons on their eoits, looking down ujN-m the deliberations of the Senators. Tho galleries of the House were also bristling with the badge .while groups of lYnnsylvanians Xr.r.opoliztd the corridors of the Capitol.

There was a ffcod attendance in the Senate to-day when the gavel fell. There was a number of rlstthi!? Pennsylvania laboring men in the gallery, wearing the badge of the delegation. Senator Cary called up House bill for the protection of the Llrd.4 and animals In Yellowstone National Park, end asked Immediate consideration for it. Before final action could be taken the morning hour expired, and the tariff bill was laid before the Senate. Senator Dolph obtained the floor ana resumed his speech, which was interrupted by ad inurnment yesterday.

rriraui-.u.;irnis ani sent a meener to notify the Pennsylvania Senators of their presence. Senators Cameron and Quay came out to the marble room, back of the Senate chaml-er, and there met the delegation. Several other Senators were attracted by the unusual tiisplav of 1

Senate, nnd had the pleasure of hearing Senator Quay rad their petitions and memorials .in the Senate ana plead the cause of protection. Senator. Dolph had yielded to Senator Quay for the presentation of the memorial. Although it was contrary to the agreement for the consideration of the tariff to admit any outside matter, unanimous consent was accorded Senator Quay and he read the papers from hio seat on the floor. Senator Cameron sent to the dek another petition from workingmen. which was not read. After the presentation the greater portion of the delegate- in the gallery tiled out and Senator Dolph continued his speech. A message was received from the President transmitting Hawaiian correspondence. Senator Dolph took up the question of paper making and wood pulp making in the State of Oregon, and appealed to the Senate not to destroy the industry of hl3 State. Senator Gray asked whether he wanted to levy tribute on the State of Delaware in order that Oregon might have a monopoly of the paper business. "I did not siy I wanted to have a monopoly of any Industry for my State." replied Mr. Dolph, adding, "the Senator wa3 not paying attention, but is simply trying to get Into the record " (Laughter.) He went on to say that Oregon used a great quantity of goods from Delaware and he paid a high tribute to the industry of that State. Senator Gray thanked him for his complimentary words alout Delaware and, at the same time, assured him that he had not l?en actuated by a desire to get into the record. The present depressed conditions of affairs in Delaware and other States, he sal 1, w;is due to the culmination of thirty vears of high protection. We are living under the hlhest protective laws the country has ever known. There had not been a single industry of Delaware benefited by the McKinley bill, and he predicted that, upon the passage of the pending bill, prospects all over the country would brighten. The Senator from Delaware might preach that doctrine, said Mr. Dolph, but there were thousands of workingmen out of employment in his State who would convince him of the fallacy of that doctrine. Senator Grav closed the incident by declaring that tiiev were out of employment because the McKinley law was in force and Senator Dolph resumed his speech. There was some discussion between Mr. Dolph and Mr. Allen, when Mr. Chandler entered the debate with a suggestion that there was no necessity for hurry, and as the Senator from Nebraska had shown a commendable desire to learn something about the tariff since he had come to the Senate he thought Senator Dolph should answer all of his questions and satisfy his thirst for information. Mr. Dolph agreed to yield to Senator Allen, but added that next September when thrt thermometer registered one hundred degrees, when the Senate met at 10 o'clock and held niht sessions, and when the speeches on the tariff were getting prosy, prolix and uninteresting it would be time enough for Senator Allen to exhibit impatience, but at present all was harmony and good fellowship. In considering the income tax question a difference of opinion was discovered amonc the Republicans. Mr. Dolph had given his experience in the collecting of the income tax in Oregon when it was in force, when not more than one-tenth of the tax was collected. Mr. Teller inquired whether there was the same difficulty about collecting the tax In England. , Mr. Dolnh said he had no Information from England. But he knew the tax had been evaded in this country, and that the people would commit perjury to escape it. Mr. Teller said that his experience had been very dlffemt from that of Mr. Dolph. He did not think it was evaded any more than the personal property tax. In Colorado, where an income tax was in force, there was not as much difficulty In collecting It as there was In collecting the personal property tax. He did not think it was a pood argument against a bill to say that the peonle were too dishonest to have the tax collected. In his opinion It was the most Just and equitable tax that could be collected. It might be unprofitable, however. "Mr. President," he continued earnestly. "I want to say to the Senator from New Hamshlre (Mr. Chandler, who had Just expressed the same views as Mr. Dolph) ami to the Senator from Oregon and to any other Senator who make the claim that an income tax cannot be collected because the people are dishonest, that it is slanderous to the American people. It Is an assumption that the American people for a mere pittance will commit perjury." Mr. Chandler and Mr. Dolph both jumped to their feet to reply, and both were discussing the question while Mr. Teller lay back In his chair and smiled. The hour of 5 o'clock arrived before the colloquy ended and the absence of a quorum pointed out by Mr. Quay !cing shown upon a roll call, the Senate, at 5:03 p. m., on motion of Senator Harris, adjourned. DILI, DAY i. tiii: II or sc.

Mr. Hepburn Tlirentenn to Iletnllnte on Hie Pen .si on Ilntcm. WASHINGTON, April 21. The session of the House was exceedingly dull to-day. The only feature was the announcement of Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, that he proposed in the future to retaliate upon the Democrats for blocking pension legislation at the Friday night session by refusing all requests in the House for the passage of bills by unanimous consent. As all the members have a greater or less number of small bills to pass in this way Mr. Hepburn's announcement caused quite a flurry- About an hour was spent in the further consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill, and, after 2 o'clock, by special order, the day was devoted to eulogies on the late Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, Those who paid tribute to his memory were Messrs. Meyer, Holman, Bland. Hooker of Mississippi, Henderson of Illinois, Boatner, Wheeler, Breckinridge of Arkansas and Blair. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, at 4:45. as a further mark of respect, the House adjourned. TRAPPKD AND SHOT. Younj 3Ian Who Had Threatened Widow Killed by Officers. MARSHALL, III., April 2L Will Eaton, agetj twenty, was killed last night under peculiar circumstances. Mrs. Brown, a wealthy woman, received a note through the postoffice demanding that she leave f-00 at a certain place near her residence or her house would be blown up. The officers were notified, and an envelope containing a lot of paper was placed as demanded. At the appointed time a man was seen taking it and was ordered to surrender. He started to run, and several shots were fired, the fugitive falling dead. He was found to be the son of John Katon, one of the best and most respected men in the city. Marshall has been in' a fever heat of excitement all day over the tragedy, which I? generally denounced as a dastardly murder. The coroner's Jury returned a sealed verdict, which is to be opened Monday, whtn the matter Is to be referred to the grand jury. It Is the general belief that Kcton was the victim of a plot of some kind, as his character was always of the highest. Even were he guilty of all charge! to him the officer had no moral or legal right to shoot him down in cold blood without an effort to capture him, and his act Is denounced generally as wanton. Both the marshal and Uobert Brown, the widow's son, who was with the officer at the time of the shooting, were bound over to the grand Jury In bonds of $1.0X each. TO-DAY'S FORECAST.

HE WILL NOT GIVE UP

Congressman Brown Far from Well, but Still in the Kace. In an Interview at Seymonr He Says Stockslaijer Is Ruuniiifr Hecause He Failed to Get an Office. MUXCIE TICKET HEADLESS 3Iayor Brady Withdraws, Lcavin Democrats in the Lurch. Number of Remaining: Counties Select Delegates to the Republican Convention Next Wednesday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR. Ind., April 21. The press reports which have been sent out from this city in regard to the serious affliction of Congressman Jason B. Brown have been greatly exaggerated. In order to get the facts a call was made on the Congressman, to-night, at hl3 cozy home on Third street this city. Mr. Brown was seated In an easy chair reading an evening paper, surrounded by his family, consisting of his wife and daughter, Miss Maggie. Mr. Brown seemed In good spirits, and readily answered the following questions propounded by the correspondent: "What have you to say In regard to the interview with Mr. Stockslager, as published in this morning's Journal?" "I have nothing to say respecting anything Stockslager may say concerning the congressional campaign In this district. During my entire .service in Congress Stockslager has lived in Washington. I have recommended numerous friends of his for offlce, as well as himself, and the reason he 13 now running for Congress is because he was unfortunate In not getting a place under the administration." "What effect will the Coxey movement have on Congress?" "In my opinion, it will have no effect whatever. The authorities at Washington will take care of Coxey and his visitors, and see that no injury comes to any one because of this insane movement." "What will be the final result of the Wilson bill?" "I think the Senate will pass the bill substantially as reported by the Senate committee. The whole matter will then be thrown into the hands of a conference committee of the two houses, and a compromise will be reached. This will be the bill finally passed." "Will you continue the canvass for a renomination, or is your health so Impaired as to prevent your further continuing in the race?" "I will continue to the end. The majorities in localities that have voted against me are larger than I expected, but I have, so far, lost no county that I expected to carry. I, of course, have been blamed for all the disappointments of the members of my party. My health is not as bad as reported. I have no cancer, and will be out before many days." "To what do you attribute the great change In recent elections?" "To substantially the same cause that defeated the Republican party at the first election after General Harrison was elected. Hard times and the patronage question." Cancer on Ills Lip. Associated Press Dispatch. SEYMOUR, Ind., April 21. Congressman Jason B.- Brown to-day submitted to a difficult operation for epithelioma of the lower lip. To-night his condition is improved and he is now said to be assured of a permanent recovery. Ills lip Is affected by contact with acid applied to a diseased tooth, and he has no smoker's cancer. Epithelioma Is carcinoma of the mucous membrane, and carcinoma i3 Greek for cancer. CAVT MAK12 TUB HACK. Health of Muncle'i Democratic Mayor Cause II Im AVitlidrairal. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., April 2LTo-day Muncie's Democratic city ticket is without a head. A few days ago Mayor A. W. Brady was renominated, but he now declines to run. Mr. Brady was elected Mayor of Muncie four years ago, when there was a Republican spilt. This year no Democrat could receive enough votes by from 1,200 to 1,30) to be elected Mayor on the Democratic ticket, and the Republican and Democratic friend3 of Mayor Brady alike were surprised at his accepting the nomination. At last night's meeting of the city Democratic committee much surprise was caused when the following message from Mayor Brady was read: "S. M. Shafer, Chairman Democratic City Committee : "D?ar Sir An untimely accident which occurred last Sunday ha3 kept me confined to my home continuously from that day to this, with a single exception. I am still unable to walk with comfort and my physician advises me that it will be some days before I can go about without great risk of serious injury to myself. The present city campaign will be snort. But twelve days remain in which the work must be done. The candidate for Mayor of our party should be able to personally canvass the city. He should see in person the people whose suffrages he asks. He sshould also participate personally In the Important work of organization. Neither of these duties do I see any prospect of being able etliclently to perform. Under the circumstances, I think Justice to our party and to the other candidates demands that I resign as a candidate and leave you free to put on the ticket some man whose physical disability will not be a bar to the party's interests. I therefore tender this as my resignation as Democratic candidate for Mayor. "ARTHUR W. BRADY." To some members of the committee the message was like throwing a dynamite bomb into the meeting. An effort was at once made to find timber to fill the vacancy, but It was not possible, and, after a long time spent in parleying, the meeting adjourned, leaving the ticket headless. To-night the Democratic city committee met again to select a man to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mayor Brady as candidate for re-election. After sixty-four ballots no selection was male and the ticket is still without a head. The candidates anxious to lead the ticket were Otis Tomllnson, Frank A. Leon, Arthur W. Patterson and E. P. Smith. Nominated at Scot tsbnrs;. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SCOTTSBURG. Ind., April 21.

JPIGHT WITH A MOB Great Northern Strikers Take Possession of a Passenger Train, But the Deputy United States Marshals Recapture It and Arrest Some of the Rioters. ST. PAUL, Minn., April 21.-The Great Northern railway strikers seized a train at Wllmar to-night, overpowering the deputies. The latter, however, resisted the attack, and got back the train and took several prisoners. A dispatch from Wllmar says: Although the strikers at Litchfield respected the government seals that had been placed on the cars guarded by Marshal Bede, such was not the case here. The strikers at this place took possession of , the train, overpowering the United States marshal and his party of thirty deputies. A crowd of several hundred men gathered before the arrival of the train. A great crowd of citizens gathered to watch the strikers. The crowd numbered one thousand when the train arrived at 5:13 this afternoon. The mood of the men was decidedly ugly, and they declared very emphatically that they would allow nothing but engine and mall car to proceed. Marshal Bede told the mob that he represented the United States government and that the train was under the protection of the government, and that any one interfering with it was liable to arrest and imprisonment. The crowd yelled in derision. Some one said: "There Is no use talking any more." Then the crowd moved toward the deputies. In vain did Marshal Bede warn them to desist. Two young strikers, Richard Judson and James Burke, attempted to uncouple the passenger coach. Bede grabbed one and Deputy Shortall the other, and, backed by the other deputies, they hauled them Into the car and locked them in. John Carbon then tried to detach the air brake, and he also was captured and placed in the car. By this time the mob numbered three thousand. The crowd forced the train back between a long line of freight cars on the switch. The cars were detached and then the strikers seized engineer Ayott, whom they called a scab, and his lireman. and bodilv removed them from the engine, Archie Uogard, a striker, taking the engineer's place and sending the engine on through tha yards. Bogard blocked the main line with the engine and freight cars so that no train could leave or arrive. At 7:30 to-night Superintendent Winter was assaulted by a striker and got a bad cut in the cheek as he stood talking with United States Marshal Bede. Later in the night Marshal Bede again secured possession of. the train and took it to Kandiyohi, where it now stands. A number of the deputies are still here. No trains have left here since yesterday, and the strikers say none will W allowed to luuve until they have their rights. Marshal Bede will po to St. Paul Sunday and get three or four hundred deputies and return to Wilmar to rigidly enforce the law. The three prisoners taken to-night by the deputies are now on their way to St. Paul. The Great Northern strike, so far as the situation at St. Cloud Is concerned, remains in alrout the same condition as yesterday. Passenger traffic will not be interfered with pending a decision on the restraining order of Judge Sanborn. No effort was madj by the company to make up trains there today, though through trains are running on time. Tne cases of the strikers who were arrested and brought down from St. Cloud were continued till Monday. President Foster, of the St. Cloud local union, secured bail in this city, and at once started for home to secure bail for II. E, Egbert, the only cue of the arrested men brought into court to-day.

IIOLMAN BACKS DOWN

He Will Not Abolish the Sttperintenilency of Indian Instruction, V Bnt Will Content Himself by Making: the Office Undesirable by Cutting: the Salary to 2.500 a Year. A SENSATIONAL INCIDENT The Senate's Exclusively Reserved Elevator Causes Trouble. Mr. Hutchison, a Fiery Texan, Loses His Temper and Threatens to Cut tho Throat of Col. Richard Bright. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. April 21. Mr. Holman's comm.ttee on Indian affairs held a meeting to-day, at which it reconsidered its recent action of practically abolishing the office of Superintendent of Indian Instruction Hailmann. As soon as the wmmittee's former action became generally known among the religious bodies interested in Indian education there was a strong protest against abolishing the office, and Senator Jones, the chairman of the Indian affairs committee of the Senate, announced tlat even if Mr. Holman succeeded in abolishing the office he would promptly re-establish It when the bill came before the Senate. Mr. Holman accordingly abandoned his plan of wiping out zhe otPce. But, true to the spirit of petty stinginess, which he calls "economy," he has reduced the salary of the superintendent to $2,500 and that cf the four supcx visors to $2,000, a cut of $.".00 for each. Representative Conn wdl offer amendments restoring the old salaries. Mr. Holman knows very well that the salaries will be restored in the Senate, but his action is in line with his usual cheap humbug. A TKXAX WITH A BOWIE. Mr. Hutt'heMoii Threatens to Slash Colonel BrighCs Throat. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, April 21. On the day of the Vance obsequies a tragedy was narrowly averted in the north wing of the Capitol, and two well-known men In public life, Sergeant-at-arms Bright, of the Senate, and Representative Hutcheson, of Texas, came very near engaging in an altercation that would probably have resulted fatally. The difference arose over the absurd and objectionable rule that the elevator in the northwest wing of the Capitol shall be reserved exclusively for the use of Senators. An unusual amount of friction has been caused by this rule, but up to the date mentioned no disturbance of any consequence was caused. On the day of the funeral, however, Representative Hutcheson strolled over to the Senate and, after the services In the Senate were concluded, he went to the "exclusively reserved" elevator and pushed the button until it jingled madly. The car passed him several times, however, on up and down trips, but made no stop. This angered him, and when the car finally stopped he began to tell the elevator conductor what he thought of his actions in language purely Texan in character. The elevator man began to explain the peculiar regulations of the Senate, when Sergeant-at-arms Bright came up and ordered Hutcheson awav from the elevator. "Let that man go about his business and you go about yours," Mr. Bright is reported to have said. "What have you got to do with it?" demanded Hutcheson. "I'll show you what I ve got to do with it. I'll have vou arrested If you don't bohave yourself," said Colonel Bright, with a show of anger. Things were becoming very warm at this time. Two very bad men were facing each other with glittering eyes and rather nervous respiration. Both were getting very angry, and trouble hung about as thick as fog in Iondon on a rainy day. "If you attempt to have me arrested," remarked Mr. Hutcheson. with suppressed excitement, "there will be two funerals here to-dav. I'll cut your throat." Colonel Bright at once turned to the officer standing near and said: "Put that man under arrest." 1.m. "I can't do it. sir," he said. "This gentleman Is a member." "That makes no difference," Eaid Col. Bright. "You do as I say." At this both men reached back. "Don't draw on me," said Colonel Bright, "and give up that weapon." "Place your hand on me and you will get it across your throat," said Mr. Hutcheson, with a tone of anger in his A Colonel. Bright at this entered the elevator and shot down toward the basement, while Mr. Hutcheson turned away and walked lack to the House. SQtnAi' from vooimrcns. Thinks He Has Been Unjustly AssnlH'ri for Ills Tariff Bill Work. WASHINGTON. April 21. Senator Voorhees has written a long letter to John B. Stoll, editor of the South Bend (Ind.) Times, in which he says that he has for several months worked day an 1 night for the best interests of the country at large, and that now it seems he is being assailed in certain quarters for all that is done or left undono by the Senate of an unsatisfactory character on the subject of the tariff. He says: "There are several features in the bill now pending in the Senate which I did not desire to have in it, but because I was overruled on these points, I did not, therefore, feel at liberty to ?oin the Republican members of the committee, report no bill, defeat all proposed legislation, and thereby leave the McKinley law remain on our statute books. The bill reduces nearly $77,0i Ooo. one-third of that amount being taken off the wearing apparel of the people, I fought hard against anything being put on sutrar, coal or iron, but a Dpmocratio caucus opposed it, and I came to a conclusion that It was my duty to the laborin?' masses of the country to support th2 bill' as it' now stands, and to moke sure of the immense reduction it guarantees, than to continue the right. "If I have made a mistake in the discharge of my duties, it is in believing the bUl as reported is preferable to the olious McKinley bill. But I think much is being said and written now In absolute Ignorance of what the Senate bill, as well as the Wilson bill, actually contains. Nothing could be further from my wish or purpose than to say a word In criticism of the Wilson bill, but at the same time I am hardly willing to t? clubbed to death or read out of the Democratic Tarty in the nrre of the Wilson bill by those who are totally Ignorant of its most Important proVisions. "The Imperious demand that the Senate pass the bill is a burlesque on common s?ns?. Xo intelligent man knows that the bill would not go through without amendments. Strange as it may appear, as it passed the House, It would create a deficiency for the year 1S for more than $27.UV. Rather than knowingly and consciously secure the passage of a bill which aimed to provide revenue for the government, but really provided for a deficiency and a consequent Increase of our Interest-bearing bond debt, I would gladly leave my seat In the Senate and hide myself forever as far as possible from public disgrace." He c!oses by saying that he had not cherished the slightest resentment against any persons for what thej have said, and that, if tho party in Indiana wishes to impugn his motives nnd impeach his Democracy, this Is the kind of platform he wishes to stand upon If the end of hi3 career is close at hand.

posed to any changes, and the Republican members are not likely to assist In adopting new rules which would in any way restrict their privileges and powers. The Iroixsltlon submitted by Senator Gray, of Delaware, providing that no Senator shall read a snoech or read extensively from books or papers Is intended more especially to cut off speeches which are supposed to Ik; made for the express purpose killing time. This matter was under discussion durlntr the extra session when the sliver debate was on, the question bein?? whether a Senator could have a document read at the Clerk's desk. In the course of the debate Senator Teller said that the reading of speeches was a practice that had frown up of late years and was not contemplated when the Senate rules allowing entire freedom of delate were first inaugurated. The object In preventing the reading of speeches is that while a Senator may be content to read for hours without a single Senator listening and not more than two or three In the chamber, he would probably not be disposed to talk to the same kind of an audience, and it l.s further believed there would be very much less speech making. Thi3 Is no doubt true, but the whole matter would probably be dt bated until December before any rules looking toward the closure of debate or any startling innovation introduced in the Senate were carried.
