General Collier called to disclaim re

Is understood their talk took on

by a vote of 35 to Ifi , practically

voted for the report , but Stewait c

The time of discussion was coi
Mimed principally by Tlllman , wh
made a fierce attack upon the meai

accused the republican eenalors an

pocrlsy and "dirty work. "
Galllngcr followed with a tempo
ate statement of those who not enl
favor the report but the passage of
Porto Rico tariff bill.
Spooner closed the debate with
fotceful statement in opposition t
Tillmun's speech , In the course c
which ho took occasion sharply t
criticise the South Carolina senate
for dragging the measure Into pol
tics. His colloquial tilts with Til
man were immensely enjoyed by th
auditors.
Tlllman sharply criticised th
method adopted by the United State
of extending hands full of food t
the people of Porto Rico as a grati
ity.
"As long as you continue to fee
these people down there , " declare
'lillman. "you may feed them. S

"will teach you next November thai

Disclaiming any authority to speal

sugar trust had acquired a grcutei
part of the sugar product of Porte
