After revlawlnir the ewuMHotv of the

where I must tell the story a It oc

Gorman then proceeded to dvcull the
manner In which, to meet the objee
ttona ami secure the auppirt of cer
fcUn dlaafferted dmo;rui', the chamce
had been aisreed upon, lie .lted em
phNNcally than duitntt this work Vest
and JoneS had frequent confiM'etK'et

With ClevHand himself.
Clorman reaumed wth one tt the
rmart seneail jnal references of the day.
The seitate had been trMluced. An
attempt had been made to try and
iflbbet them before the country. Three
chartfes had ben "foully romli from
dlettnttulshed sources." ant must be
met and refuted. The ohirse were
echoed by the men who chirp when
he talked. The senator who had
bwi traduced had foujftit for tariff
refiirm when "oowai'Js In hlirh places
would mjt show their heads." He
said he could wwelve of no reason
for the remarkable action takm, un
Imm perhaps Die one reo:utitlti for
tt waa "consumed by vanity" In hnv
lnr the country regard him as the
author of all thmt was rltfht In tariff
reform. Gorman nexit ;un.d hla ait-
tentkm to Senator Hill's speech en-
dorwlnjr Cleveland's Utiter. "t'hait let
ter," said 0)rman, "was a ilodfund to
the tuut r from New York. It was
the only comfort he had from this ad
mlnfstnuion " (Latuirhter.)
As the In u ir.iitor oontlnuvd, Hill aroae,
and with Kood-nuitnred deliberation
saI: "In the laat propoalMon, I will
say the senator from Marylaitd Is en
tirely corrwst. '
Gorman asserted the Ni-w York sen
ator had throughout attempted to
thwart his party. Never bef ire since
the declanutlon of independence hod
the president of the Uriltrl Staites
bten guilty of midh a violation nt the
si)lr4r of the constitution as had Cleve
land In writing" his letter to Clwurman
Wilson.
Hever'.lnn to the duty on coal, Gor
man argued that 40 cents per ton was
purely a revenue duty. Wee coal, he
said, would give to a single foreign
corporation all the coal trade from
Boston north. Free coal would not
benuflt any man or woman In the
country. Who demands It? There was
but one great concern on earth that
wanted free coal. In Nova Scotia
there was a deposit of coat as broad
and as high as any on the face of the
earth. The government of Canada had
controllei that. Five years ago the
dominion government was Induced to
change Its policy. Small leases were
wlDed out. The Canadian Pacific, that
great artery of Great Britain, together
with mn from tne unitea Mates, as
aoclated themselves together snd se
cured a fcU-yeur leare of this coal land
on condition that they would pay Into
the Canadian treasury 12 cents per ton
royalty. If coal were free, the coal of
Nova Kcotla would displace that of
the Untied States In New England
and the- treasury of Canada would be
enriched by the money that ought to
go Into the treasury of the United
States.
"God knows we have enough trusts,
said Gorman. "I will never consent
to allow this mammoth foreign cor
poration to Invade our territory and
take the substance away from our
people."
rwmim's reference to the sugar
question was: "Mr. president, there Is
only one other serious proposition, as
I understand It, Involved in mis co
..urvthe subject of sugar. Our
friends on the other side, with great
generalsl Ip, saw ths weak point In our

made free sugar the pivot. They at
tempted to secure free sugar by fight

their McKlnley act, outwitting us by
going back and putting upon the du
tiable list an article which they had
put upon the free list. They managed
it well. They knew how to stir up an

Set They twitted us upon this floor,
you had scarcely gotten Into eonald
eratlon "of the bill before they wanted
r.nv"sUgat, and . whether we were
oniiinar rftit to the trust."
nTh?n re'vertfna to the President, he
.aid" "Mr. president, I speak of the
President of the United States with
SKlntT but the kindest feelings. I
ave never had anything but the kind

When ths senate adjourned the sit

THE CQREAN DIFFICULTIES.
SIIANOHAI, July 23. Tt Is generally
belli ved here that the Japanese do
not dtwlre a paclilc settlement of the
Corean dispute. As evidence of this,
attention Is called to the fact that as
soon ai one difficulty Is overcome,
Japan Immediately raises another. The
last attitude of the king of Corea in
the crisis Is supposed to be due to
China's decided measure to Insist upon
her claims to sovereignty over the
Corean peninsula.

thuoiaitiii his rwnarks evoket, notiSibly
when Mr, Hill declared that personal
oonsldvns'ttons would not prevent him
from dindlng the president when hs
was unjustly attacked. He dofended
Mr, Cleveland's letter, his light to

sol mad a sirona; point

Uatt stung thiwn on the floor and

terday compared Hill to lago Tsiay
I nil likened those who had Joined In
the atsault on Mr. Cleveland to the
oonsplraitont who i tabbed Caeaar to

In ths Roman senate, Gorman, he
"emtefn".! a ths lean and hungry
Casslus; Mr. Jones, Maivus Brutus,
the hoitMt Brutus of' the senate. Mr.
Veei, who struck the first blow on
Friday, as Caesar; Mr, Voorheee as
Treljoiiius, "lively, but earr.es," and
Mr, Harris as MeMlus Clmbjr. They
had si ruck down the prnstdent, Mr,
Hill said, not they loved Mr. Cleveland
less, but they loved the senate com
promise Trunu, "And yM," he oon
eluded, and every word rang o t like a
hammer on an anvil, "I can ay with
Anthony, they are all honorable men,"
Mr. Caffery, who followed Mr. Hill
with a brief speech, also gave the
country bis share of the aeera of tht
pottUoal prison houm. JU detallod the
msnner In whloh the sugar schedule
had been prepared. Insisting It was
made by and In the Interest of the
stignr trust.
Caffery moved that the conferees be
Instructed to make the following
amendment: "That the bounty pro
vided In said act shsll stand until re
pealed to the extent that there shall
be paid to the producer from beets,
sorghum or sugar cane grown In the
Culled States In the year of 1K4, or
from maple tap produced In the Wilted
States during the year 1H1)4 under li
cense for 152 and subject to the limita
tions now Imposed by law on all
eugars testing not less than 90 degrees
by the polarlscope, nine-tenths ot one
cent per pound, and upon all such
sugars testing less thsn M per cent.
and not less than 80 degrees, eight-
tenths of one cent per pound."
Caffery then commended Senator
Hill for his defense of the president
and declared there was nothing In his
letter which need arouse the ire of
senators.
Caffery declared the president was
exenerated from the charges msde
against htm by Gorman. The very
evidence adduced by Gorman, he said,
Justified the president In writing the
letter he had written, Since the se
crets of the past were to be divulged,
the time had come for him to tell his
story. He was at the little conference
at which were present, among others,
MeiNrs. Brlce and Gorman. It was de
cided at that conference that 40 per
cent, on raw and BO per cent on re
fined sugar was proper. "I took that
schedule to the finance committee and
gave It to Senator Jones," he contin
ued. "Mr. Jones, after calculating,
pointed out that In ths differential al
lowed the refiner was conceded a dif
ferential greater than the McKlnley
law. I thereupon withdrew It. After
further consultation I presented an
other schedule placing one cent on raw
and one and one-eighth on refined, So
It remained for some time, when I was
admonished by Mr, Gorman and Mr,
Hrlce that this second schedule meant
free sugar. Mr. Jones told ma the
sugar refining Interests would favor
free sugar if that was Insisted upon.
He wanted me to accept 40 per cent.
on raw and refined and one-eighth dlf-
fvrenttut on refined. That schedule
was not acceptable to me or to the
sugar growers, and I want the coun
try to know that It was dictated by

Think the Republican Party the
Savior of Constitutional Gov
ernmcnt.
FREDONIA, Kans., July 21.-A bat
tery of big guns fired the opening sa
lute of the third district republican
oampaign today. Ex-Senator Ingalls,
Hon. Bernard Kelly and CoL Dick Blue
nooks before vaat audiences In the
afternoon and evening. The brilliant
Ingalls waa received with enthusiasm
and an ovation is always accorded
him. He said In the course of his two
hours' address: "I am here today to
make a republican speech. Your chair
man, In Introducing me said I had re
tired from publlo life, That la a mis
take. I was retired. My retirement,
was purely involuntary. The cam
paign waged against me, unjust ss it
was, waa the most sclentlflo on record
In politics. It resulted In throwing me
higher Into the atmosphere than any
thing else that has been recorded
since the cow Jumped over the moon."
Getting Into his speech, Mr. Ingalls
said that there was one thing worse
than a populist It was a democrat
For the condition tn which the state
finds Itself today, democracy Is strictly
and wholly responsible. The great
question before the American people
Is not the tariff but whether we sre
to have any government In this coun
try at all. This Is the question for the
republican party, because every other
party has shown Itself Incompetent to
settle It.
Mr. Ingalls spoke at length of the
recent strike, bitterly inveighing
against the attempt ot worklngmen to
prevent others from attempting to
labor at wages they had refused.
"For the condition of affairs in Chi
cago no man is more responsible than
Gov. Altgeld, for when he pardoned the
anarchists he said It was safe to burn,
pillage and shed blood. G rover Cleve
land, In telling Altgeld that the United
States must protect Its citizens, blun
dered on the first serviceable act of
his two terms. The question of the
hour Is the survival of constitutional
government among men. Unless the
republican party Is able to accomplish
the task, I tell you It Is gone."
He announced that he Is opposed to
woman suffrage, because his mother,
his wife, his sisters and his daughters
do not want to vote. He said he is a
btmvtalllst.
