Mr. Bryan (Democrat) of Nebraska

Deuiocrntie congress. In frniplug a tar
iff reform bill, would put bituimoua
coal en the free list. Thai was rm.ulr-
cd, substantially, by the Clilcugo Dem
ocratic platform. Every Democratic
orator in the land who hml spoken on
the subject, had demanded free coal.
If there was otic riling more than an
other to wblch the Democratic parly
stood solemnly pledged, il was to place
raw material on the free list. He ob
serves! that, since he betraii Ills re
marks, the s,stators who had charge of
the measure hml left their seats. He
assumed that they had nothing to say
In defense of a duty on cool. He was
wanting to hear from them a the plea
tlmt they had been bulldozed Into put
ting cool on the dutiable list, anil lie
would like to know what senators laid
stnted (hat they would refuse to vote
for the bill If coal should be. put on
flic free list.
"Let them be named," sold Mr. Hill,
"thst we n»«y know who they arc. If
we put this duty on coal we ‘go back*
on ell Democratic arguments uttered In
years post; wo virtually repudiate the
platform adopted In Chicago, and we
are brought Into ridicule at the hands
of, the American people. Of course. It
has been decided that my motion has
to ho defeated, but t trust that tl.e lit
tle band which haa alood together thus
for In the senate for free raw material
will stand the ground now, whether
they be one, two. three, four or five.
The principle is Involved In this amend
ment. It Is staked here, and I for one,
even If 1 am alone, propose to stand tu
tor that principle.”
Mr. Vest, taking up Mr. Hill's chal
lenge, said that Mr. Hill “is opposed to
thla bill, s'o far as I understand, be
cause U contains a provision for -the
Iscos tax. and v.-fcs ar!:= for Informa
tion as to what has caused cool to be
put on the dutiable list,
“We are here." Mr. Vest continued,
"to give Intbrmallon, but not to those
who are as well Informed a* ourselves.
The senator from New York knows as
much In relation to the matter ns wo
do; and. as a matter of course, his in
quiry is not for information, but in or
der to elicit some statement which
would antagonize the passuge of the
bill In its entlretv. I have had occas
ion to say that there nre a great many
things In this bill ywhlch do lint meet
my personal approval, but I deem It
my duty to Ibok to the general result
as to what will be tor the heat Interest
of the country to Ibe largest degree. It
ta Impossible for each senator to ob

may deprecate and regret that I cannot
go farther) t shall not hesitate as to
how far 1 will go. We are determined.
If we can, to supplant the McKinley act
with a betler measure, and I am com
pelled ft) give up my opinion In favor
of free coal and to take a duty of

der the McKinley iiet."
Mr. Hill took exceptkm to what Mr.
Veet had eeld about his (Ifr.l’a) inten
tion to vote against the bill Because of
hie opposition to the income lax.
Who," Mr. Hill asked In angry tones.
1s hie Informant? Whence comes this
information of wtiloh he te the exclu
sive owner? What aerator around this
circle has dared assure him of any
such fact? What aerator has dared de
liver my vote one way or the other

features of this bill. I am opposed,
earnestly and con*ctent*ouely opposed,
to chat Boris belle and ISiputtsttc prin
ciple Which has been engrafted on this
bill, the income tax. But while I have
opposed .that portion of ihe bill no sen
ator around this circle has a right to
My that he understands that 1 am op
posed to .the whole btll.”
Mr. Vent recalled the fact that Mr.
Hill. In a carefully prepared address
on the Income tax. said that he could
not and would not support a measure
that contained that provision; and aa
he (Vest) assumed that It would re
main In the Mil—and he had no ques
tion but that it would—be thought he
was authorized In saying that the sen
ator meant he would not vote for the
blU. If be did not mean that, he (Vest)
would be ezeeedtnr-y glad to know It.
Nobody separated from the senator In
regard to any pending measure with
more reluctance than himself.
Mr. 11111 cabUenged Mr. Vest to Uk*

cratic caucus contained a duty on coal.
Therefore, nothin* thit t©t*k place !n
the three-day I'umocr.itir* caucus com
pelled the placing of coal on the dutiable
list; and nothing that took place in ait
the subsequent hearings before the finance
committee compelled it. I think it would
be wiser and better for senators to come
here and defend this provision rather
than attempt to apologise for It und
excuse It. 1 have seen In the public press
some portions of the testimony given
last Saturday la-fore the investigating
committee by the senator from Missouri.
Certain wrong Impressions arc liable to
be made by whHt the senator suld
intentionally* or Inadvertently. Stated in
suf.Mtnnce, I understood him to say. or to
allow *t to be inferred, that after the
famous three days' conference of Demo
cratic senators (U which it is conceded
no conclusion - was reached) certain sen
ators waited on the finance committee.
Senators Gorman, Smith, Brice, Cattery
und myself. From the manner In which
this testimony Is given, it would teem
that we went there In a body. No such
thing ever occurred. I was invited there
to give my views by some messenger from
the committee, saying that ! was desired
there. I went alone. I went In the coin-
puny of no one. though 1 do not wish
’ it to be Inferred that I am ashamed of
such excellent company. A discussion
took place In an informal way on the
mgar question principally. 1 do not In
tend to go into details, but 1 think that
a wrong Inference can be drawn from
the senator's testimony. I muxle no de
maud; 1 made no request. I made no
suggestion in favor of a duty on sugar
at that time, or any other, to the finance
committee, and 1 ark the senator from
Missouri whether that Is not true.**
A crossfire was kept up during the re
mainder of the day. Then the senate at

Atlanta. June 18.-(8peclal.)-Con.
greasman Turner's senatorial boom la
to be given a lift In Atlanta., A full
blown political sensation was stirred
up this afternoon over *u invitation ex
tended to Congressman Turner of the
Eleventh district tb nuke an address
In thla city on Ihe issues of the day.
This Invitation appeared In the form
of n letter to Judge Turner signed by
President Woodson of the Chamber nj
Commerce and Secretary Saunders, who
extended the invitation on behalf b8
the Chamber of Commerce and at the
request of a large number of cltisenH.
When this letter appeared in print thla
afternoon it at once caused a kick from
member* of tbe Chamber of Commerce.
There had been no mentlnr of that
body and no call for a meeting to taka
action on such an Invitation, but Inves
tigation by prominent member* who ob
ject to having ihe chamber used for
political purposes without its consent,
disclosed tho fact that six members of
the executive board had got togethen
and rormed the Invitation to Judge
Turner on behilf ol the Chamber of
Commerce. Later on It was disclosed
that somebody had been using the wires
from Washington to bring about the
Invitation to Judge Turner. Secretary
Hoke Smith Is said to have been tho
Influence at the capltol according to tho
report current tonight. He took It upon
lilmacif to oak Judge Turner to spealc
In Atlanta and after he had accepted
the secretary's Influence was used to
cure the letter from tile president of
the Chamber of Commerce which cre
eled such a kick this afternoon. The
Washington Ides was, of course, to
make It appear that there wae a largo
sized demand for Judge Turner In this
city. It Is understood that the gentle
men who took It upon themselves to
Invite Judge Turner on behalf of tbe
Chamber of Commerce were assured
from Washington that there was no
politics In Judge Turner's deslrs to
speak In Atlanta, but friends of the
other senatorial, candidates do not look
at It that way ami consequently they
kick. They think It would have been
no more than fstr to have Included tho
other aspirants for senatorial honor*
In the invitation so long as Judge Tur
ner Just had to be Invited. Tbe mat
ter ha* caused tome lively talk tonight
not at all complimentary to those con
cerned In tbe Unit plan to use the
chamber of commerce In launching
Judge Turner’s senatorial boom In this
city, where his best frtenda know ho
Is heavily handicapped.
Following ta a copy of the letter to
which reference ta made:
