Lively Tilt.
CENATE DI8CU88E9 COAL DUTY.
Allegation That Dlngley Placed Tariff
High to Permit Reciprocal Rela-
tlons Leads to Hot Debate Vest's
Motion Goes Over.
Washington , Jan. 14. For the first
tlmo since the opening of this session
of congress the house was regaled yes
terday with a lively political debate.
Orosvonor ( O. ) and Clark ( Mo. )
crossed swords during the considera
tion of the army appropriation hill ,
and for two hours both sides of the
< house cheered on their respective
- . spokesmen. The debate was good
' matured. It grew out of a debute
s * Y * OroBvenor and Clark have been carryIng -
Ing on In the newspapers over the
, , former's statement in the house last
- . December that the Democratic party
, i. had been wiped out at the last general
V ; election. General Grosvunor under
took with figures to sustain'his con
tention , and Clark , also with figures ,
to prove that the Democrats had "an
even chance to win" the presidency in
1904. There were several clashes and
the house and galleries were well en
tertained. The remainder of the day
was occnplcd by Hull ( la. ) , who ar
gued against the abandonment of the
' army transport service ; Shuttuc
( O. ) , wlio assailed Edward Atkinson
and -the antl-lmparlallsts ; Moon
( Tcnn. ) , who denounced the refusal of
the house leaders to allow the consid
eration of the Indian territory hill
and who announced a policy of ob
struction which he Intended to pursue
unless consideration was given It ;
Swanson ( Va. ) , who argued the neces-
Blty for tariff revision , and Galnes
[ ( Term. ) , who urged the advisability
of placing coal on the free list.
The senate proceedings were en
livened by several spirited speeches
* " affecting the reciprocity provision of
* ' the Dlngley act. While the Vest resolution -
' > . > lution directing the committee on
, - r * * finance to report a bill removing the
. } duty on coal was under discussion ,
\ Dolllver ( la. ) vigorously attacked
/ those senators responsible for the
holding up of reciprocity treaties In
the senate. He defended Secretary
Shaw for issuing the order Instructing
collectors of customs to resolve differences -
ences in the grades of coal in favor of
the Importer. It was true , he do-
'dared , that Dlngley had put the tariff
rates high so that they could be reduced -
duced by reciprocity agreements
This statement caused Aldrlch to vehe
mently denounce Dolllver and others
for making it. The only intention , he
Bald , of the reciprocity provision of the
Dingley law was to secure agreements
on non-competitive products and ho
contended that it was not to be expect
ed that a Republican administration
would negotiate treaties whicn would
etrike at the heart of protection.
The resolution went over until today
after Tlllmnn had given notice that he
-would then "strike a live wire" and
! * 2 " ' lay the blame for the present coal sit
uatlon at the door of the president
and the attorney general. Nelson
concluded his remarks in opposition to
; .j the statehood bill , and at 4:10 : o'clock
1 / the senate went into executive session
/ adjourning soon afterward.
