for Democrats to stand for their own
opinions and to reject the opinions of
brother Democrats; They were here for
the purpose of pausing a tariff bill,
which could only be passed (and never

tr «*ted that there were no Democrats
within the sound of his voice and no
Democrats In either bouse of congress
who were not willing to make compro
mises in order to get a tariff bill, which
every one of them must know to be a
gteat improvement on the McKinley
act, and which would relieve the people
of the United States of a great burden
of taxation.

IN THE FRENCH CHAMBER.
A Heated Dlscusalon Over the Pres* Hut,
and Probably a Duel.
Parts, July 26.— 1 The seconds selected re.
spistlvely by Deputy Denolx and Jeon
Drault of the Socialist Journal Da Ludrc-
Porolc, have agreed that tlie re* l
ground for a duel between the two gen-
tloracn.
The debate upon the antl-Anarchlst bltl
was resumed in the chamber or oeputies
today. Amendment after amendment ol
ferej by the Socialist deputies waa voted
down. Finally, M. Jaurc-y onion KepuDn-
can, denounced the eontlnuoua and sys*
tematic rejection of amendments, tie vio
lently assailed the majority, whicn he
uec.M*ed was composed c: tncitem tc
anarchy. Ministers, senators and depu
ties, he charged, had trafficked in leg,e-
latlon, received bribes and taken part
r.in.'ajoui election schemes, ne mi
nutely dissected tne politic nnancisl his
tory of the French aarlhunent. vmen he
said were sinong the social and moral
Influences that were driving France to
Anarchy. The chief examples which the
upper classes had offered the people were
those of corruption. The premier nao
deemed Anarchy a* a scornful negation
of ull authority and universal suffrage.
Whitt, he asked, were the engineers end
abetters of the Panama canal frauds, the
story of which Is toll in the ruins ef the
entciprises and bones or men who were
left In Panama, the victims of lint mur
derous speculation wnlcn had been fa
vored by a majority of parrnment. An
archy, he said, had taken root in these
outmges and nourish'd through eocm.
and political rottenness. Hepresston of
fres thought anl free speech would never
cure the evil. A purer state ot society
and freedom of ut‘Jrence were the beat
remedies. Since the death ol Gain helm.
Lor urea said, the lleuutn'.cans nail been
abandoning his attitude and had become
passive onstruments in the hands ot great
tlnanclera, like the Rothschilds and others.
In sapport of this assertion. ..e gave ss
an Instance an outline of tne ptivjlsges
accorded to the uHmt if France, as had
bean mentioned by Burdeau, loaurriy min-
ieler of llnance and prescient id the cham
ber of deputies.
At this point. Burdeau brteny reminded
the chamber that when tho conversion
of rents waa effected, no Intermediary
had be*it allowed between the slate and
the email bondholders.
Jaurcs resumed his speech. He alluded
to ths vensllty ot ibe press, which, be
said, was deriving monthly subsidle* Irom
th* financial department. The ministry
was profiting through the conee'iucnl mu,-
Sling of (he venal prees. The country
knew this and was disgusted with me
venal press. Ths lwpsnuew* >.*s«r.c
could not b* stleuced by bribes, ro an
attempt was being male to ellsnc* tnem
through this bill. He accused Rouvler
of having lostersd uorruptUn.
President Burdeau intervened snd gave
him warning that personalities would not
bo permitted. _
Itouvler sprang to IPs te *‘ ani V * a
claimed: ”1 have fear of nothing, either

Washlngton, July 26.—If the action of
today's Democratic caucus Is obeyed, to
morrow will witness an end to the de
bate on the conference report of the
tariff bill and that measure will go back
to the conference without instructions.
After a debate running over three hours
yesterday and upward of that time to
day, Mr. Jarvis' resolution, that the bill
be sent back without Instructions, w is
agreed to bv unanimous consent, al
though at no time did he give assurance
In the caucus that he would not press
his motion to strike out the differential
duty on refined sugar.
The caucus met promptly at t o’clock
and tbe first speech was that of Mr. Oor-
don. who counselled unity of action, and
said he hoped that the results of the
meeting would be that all propositions
looking to Instructions to be withdrawn
and the Mil be sent back.with simply
oo insistence ot the senate upon its
amendments.
Several other scorches were made In
this strain by Messrs, aray, Jarvis,
Lindsay and Walsh. .
The first sten In this direction necessi
tated the ascertainment of what Mr .Vi
las intended to do In regard tv> his mo
tion to strike out the differential duty
Placed on refined sugar. In response
to a direct question put to him, Mr. Vi
las said hr was in favor of striking out
this differential, because he believed by
so doing much of the opposition that
wae manifested ugriiost the hill would
be removed and the way be paved for
the adjustment of the differences be
tween the two house*. With this duty,
which be said was tho chief bon* cf
contention, out of the way there could
be nothing to Interfere with th* speecy
settlement ot all tn* trouble* mid the
early passage of the bill and the ap
proval of me president. For that rea
son. Mr. Vilas sard, it was his lntenll -n
to press the motion and cause it to pre
vail if possible.
Messrs. Dla-icb-nd snd Cattery both
spoke on uir-Oiaiss Soliediili. ir.d advo
cated a "fiat" duty of 46 pet cent, on
all sugars and the payment of a bounty
for this year, which, they asserted wttn
some feeling, lull been promised by the
finance committee and not been given
them. Bum ol the Louisiana aenalors
declared lost If this cnange to 46 per
cent, was not made ths Louisiana peo
ple would Insist that the full measure »f
protection promised them In the pend
ing bill should be granted or they would
vote against th* bill. They said they
would Insist that they be given the so
per cent, an raw sugar, the l-» of a cent
differential on refined, which benefltted
their peupie us much as It did the te
nners. and that the bounty for 1664
should be paid the growers of sugar In
this country and the treaty with Hawaii
abrogated. Unless this was done they
served notice In the caucus that they
would vole against tbe bill. It matters
little to them what instructtbns. If any.
were given to the conferees; what they
were concerned about was the final
agreement. If It did not Include these
it could not receive the sanction of th*
Louisiana sens tot a
Mr. Vilas spoke in reply to this, and
aga.n urged tnat the differential be
stricken out.
This called Mr. Smith of New Jersey
to the floor and he made a speech to
tones that even the marble ore!* could
nut keep from peroumatlng outside.
warned Mr. Vila* thut be waa
trifling with a weighty subject when
he talked of changing (he bill, which
' aa been -the result ot much hard work
In the sens!* and had only passed by
a slim majority of one vote. Mr. Smith
that s number of senators .Who
bad been opposed to the Income tax
bad been Induced to rate for the bill,
but the schedules rotating S' the indus

bad consented to swallow tbe income
tax and give their pledge In caucus
that they would stand by th* party. A
futy had been placed .m raw sugar,
and if that waa right It was. he said,
no more than right (bat a differentia?
duty should be placed on refined augar,
an industry that gave employment to
thousands of men to the states where
refining of sugar was conducted. Any
attempt to change this sohedule or any
other schedule, striking at the Salient
points of the bt». all of which had been
discussed (n a previous caucus*, would,
Mr. Smith said, be hatled with satis
faction by those who bad boiled the

wise, he would cast aside tils own polit

Mr. Brice stated that his name came
next to that of Mr. Berry, and that it
ne voted to strike out me dlirerenuai
he, too. would vote the same way, lor
nu believed In tree sugar, bout raw and
refined, air. iince reuunued Mr. \ Has ot
.ne trouble the finance committee naa
m getting a bill tout would command
the support ot tns necessary torty-three
votes, and said that aa a member of
the steering committee he had at tne
outset analyzed the vote In tne senate
and found that a b.lt could only be passed
by carefully considering the concessions
demanded by the senators who repre
sented the manufacturing and Industrial
states.
Much of the discussion consisted in in
terrogatories between Mr. Vilas and other
senators, the bent of all being to get the
Wisconsin senator to agree to withdraw
his motion, which was looked upon as
putting the whole bill in Jeopardy, li
ono ot these crossfires, sir. Smith re.
•called to air. Vilas a speech he formerly
made tn the caucus, tn which he pleaded
for unity and harmony, and Insisted tnat
the Democrats get together on some xort
ot a bill so that the party could keep Its
pledges. Mr. Smith Is said to have
minded Mr. Vila* that he wss one or
the moot persistent senators In asking
senators to pledge themselves to stand by
the hill that wus agreed upon, so tnat
II mishi safely oass the senate.
Mr. Vilas admitted making tills apcecn,
but said he did not consider that those
pledges bound the senators alter the bill
got out of the senate end i«»® the con
ference.
Thi* reply Irriutsd Sir. Smith, who re
torted that that sort of "mugwump logic"
might be effectual In some places, but
It would not do In a caucus wdere men
pledged themselves to stand by a meas
ure and see it through. Men wno en
tered that caucus, he Insisted, were aa
much bound to stand by the bill In con
ference aa In the senate, and then ne reit
erated his threat toot If tnat sort ol an
argument was to prevail, the bill was
