WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—When the Senate assembled to-day Chair man Simmons, of the Finance Com mittee, asked for unanimous consent for a final vote on the tariff bill August 25. Republican Leader Gal- linger obpected. Senator Simmons asked why. “I refuse to be catechised,” said Senator Galllnger. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, interrupted to say that never in the history of the American Government had there taken place a similar in stance of legislation in secret as the pending tariff bill. ‘For two months,” said the Sena tor, “the Finance Committee and the Democratic caucus had the bill in charge and the country was kept in the dark regarding it.” Bacon Defends Caucus. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, defend ed the Democratic caucus action on the bill, and denied emphatically that the President had coerced members of the Senate or that the caucus had exerted coercion. ‘Then the Senator is the victim of a bunco game or he is an unsophisti cated gentleman from the country,” declared Senator Penrose. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, then said: “I w’ould suggest that we recall th*> chaplain so that we may properly give thanks for the conversion of the Senator from Pennsylvania. Of all men to lecture us because of secret action none could have done so with less propriety than the Senator from Pennsylvania. Promises Democratic Bill. ‘‘To be rebuked in this manner by the Senator is almost equal to the devil rebuking sin. We are the ma jority party and we are going to put through a tariff bill) just as you w'ouH do if you were in the majority. “The Democrats are going to put I through a Democratic tariff bill 39 far as possible, and we are acting as a party and not as individuals. To that extent we are coerced.” Senator Bristow, of Kansas, said he would never consent to a date for the final vote upon this tariff bill. Senator Gallinger said that the de bate in the Senate on the tariff had opened less than 30 days ago and now it was proposed to close the deb*'e in eleven more days. He pointed out that the debate on the Payne-Aldrich law lasted 80 days.
