TARIFF WORK ENDED
SENATE ADOPTS THE CONFER
ENCE REPORT.
Final Vote Taken at tlio Hour Agreed
Upon Sumo Warm Closing Speeches
Senator Allen of Nebraska
Attacks the Bill and Answers
Senator Foraker.
TarlJT Question in the Senate.
Washington , July 20. When the
Senate met at 10 o'clock this morning
under tbe Unanimous agreement of
last night that a vote be taken at 3
o'clock to-day , only eleven senators
were on hand and several of these
busied themselves with clearing out
their desks and preparing for departr
ure. There was no prayer , as this
was a recess session.
Immediately after the vice president
had called the Senate to order , Mr.
Chandler moved an executive session.
He yielded , however , to Mr. Bate of
Tennessee , who desired to have a day
set for eulogies on his late colleague ,
Mr. Ilarris. January 13 next was
agreed upon , and at 10:0S o'clock the
Senate went into executive session ,
during which the following confirma
tions were made : Postmasters in Mis
souri , P. C. Van Matrc at Warrens-
burg , F. S. Jones at Sarcoxic , H. H.
Mitchell at Clinton , J. M. Cox at Ad
rian and J. M. Wright at Richmond ;
postmaster in Kansas , S. G. Wells at
Erie.
Erie.When
When the doors were opened Mr.
Allen of Nebraska resumed his speech
in opposition to the tariff conference
report and the bill in general. He
criticised the effects of the bill on the
farmers and instanced barbed wire ,
required by them for fences , on which
they were placed by the bill at the
mercy of the barbed wire trust. How
different it was in the case of the
moneyed aristocracy. It was all right ,
the senator said ironically , for the
"sharks and money gamblers of Wall
street" to make § H'J,000,000 out of the
sugar schedule since the Dingley bill
was first reported. It was all right
for Pierpont Morgan to make § 27,000 , -
000 out of the government bonds ille
gally issued under the administration
of President Cleveland. Farmers
ought to understand that the legisla
tion of Russia was as beneficial to
them as the legislation of Congress.
As a sequel to Mr. Allen's heated
personal colloquy with Mr. Foraker
over the alleged fraud since the last
election , the Nebraska senator pre
sented tables comparing the vote cast
for McKinley , Hryan , Harrison and
Cleveland. One column showed
"fraudulent excess" that of Ohio be
ing stated at 94,500. In closing , Mr.
Allen announced his purpose to with
hold his vote on the question of agree
ing to the report.
Mr. Caffery of Louisiana followed in
a criticism of the sugar schedule. He
stated that ships from all parts of the
world were hurrving in with cargoes
of raw sugar to avoid the duties of the
bill. Already eight months' supply
had been brought in , thus cutting off
government revenue to that extent
and giving enormous profits to the
trust.
| Mr. Gear questioned these figures ,
saying only four mouths' supply of
raw sugar had been brought in.
Mr. Burrows of Michigan , a member
of the finance committee , then took
the floor for one of the few speeches
from the opposition side. He said he
wis induced to enter the debate be
cause of ussaults made upon the lum
ber schedule , an industry in twenty-
two states , with an aggregate cap
ital or S7. 0,00,000 ( ) , employing 000,000
people , and paying $1.10,00 ! ) , 000 in
wages annually. The rates on lumber
were the lowest of any in the bill ,
being about 15 to 18 per cent ad val
orem , and onty 1 per cent , on white
pine , lie referred to his visits to the
Michigan lumber sections , where he
said mills were idle and men out of
work , when the Canadian mills and
workmen were thriving.
Sharp at . ' > o ' clock the final roll call
on the passage of the bill as reported
by the conference committee began ,
while the floor and galleries were
crowded.
The voting did not consume much
time. Great applause followed the an
nouncement by the Vice President
that the report had been adopted by
the vote of 10 to 30.
