Bince It was amondetl hy the fonate Finan.??
Cominltteo waa made hy him to-day to the Asso?
ciated Tress. Mr. IilnRley was rsquoated to Rivo
soin?? statement as to the prohahle additional
revenue that would he yielded tho first year hy
th?? Senate Tariff 1.111, ns well ns hy the House
Mil. and he spoke ns follows:
"It must he horno In mind that there Is no
Senate hill ns yet. What Is Improperly spoken
of as th" ?enato hill Is the House hill, repotted
to the Senate hy tho Finance (Ommittee, with
certain amenamente r.-eommeti.iod. what th??
Senate hill will 1?? when the body shall have
made |t, no one can as yet say.
"While tho amendments of tho House bill
racommended hy the Senat.? Finance Committee
(about seven hundred) appear to he multitud?
inous, yet ahout two hundred of them are mainly
verbal?such as a?????<11??< the spelling of "ashes
tus' by substituting 'o" for 'u,' leaving about five
hundred which change rates. This Is ahout the
number of amendments to the McKinley hill
adopted hy the Senate In 1800, and of those re
mainlng BOO a larj?e proportion Involve nothing
of cons."|uene.?. There are, however, many
amendments w-hieh are Important, not only on
revenu??, hut other grounds, ? do not propose
now to speak .if these proposed amendments ex?
I. lit as they affect revenues.
??: ? r ?< :t ? ? ? t 11F. ? ? ? : NDM ? ?: ? rs.
The i-ffect of these amendments as a whole?
outside the amendment Imposing a duty on tea
for two years and a half, and the amendment
Increasing th?? internal rovinilo tax on heer 44
cents per barrel for the same period, and the
increase proposed on tobacco and cigarettes is
to produce less revenue than would be yielded
hy tho House hill. For example, the amend?
ments returning to the free list argot, eortain
adds, and oils, painting an?! statuary for pri?
vate use, and reducing the duties on liquors,
tobacco, precious stones, eti . lose mon revenue
than Could ho Obtained hy the duty on tea. The
am? ndmenta reducing the duty on clothing wool
and Increasing the duty on carpet wool would
also diminish the revenue. Th?? amendment in
creaslng the duty on opium from -Si", to $8 per
pound would not Increase the revenue in the
Judgment of the administrators of the law, who
Informed tin? Ways and Means Committee that
Bfj was the point which would yield the largest
revenue.. Tin? pro-posed duty on bides and a few
other amen.inn ins would increase the revenue
somewhat.
"? if course, the estimate of an Increased reve?
nue from siiL-ar through an abrogation of th??
treaty with Hawaii has nothing to do with
tariff legislation, for this could be ? me as well
by accepting th?? nous?? sugar schedule as the
sugar schedule prop ?sed. Th?? Ways and Means
Committee did not even consider the question
of abrogating this treaty, because they took it
for granted that If it was considered desirable
to ahmgate this or any other treaty, It would
be dono In the etrn.lf.:litforwn.rd manner pro?
vided by (he treaty Itself. The fact that the
Senate Finane?? C'ummlttee recommend nn ad
valorem duty nn sugar apparently a little higher
than th?? sp?cifie duty of th?? House hill does
not Insu.-e a larger revenue, as past experletve
with ad valorem duties has Shown. In our
Judgment, the revenu?? from sugar under th-??
Hous.? sugar schedule (setting aside the Question
of abrogating the Hawaiian treaty) would be
larger than under th?? s.-nat? am? ndmenta.
THE DOTY ?? TKA.
"The proposed temporary duty on tea would
Increase th?? revenue, although not so much the
first year as estimated, because of the large
stocks on hand, and tho short stocks that would
be maintained with the knowledge that tea
would Boon go hack to the free list, and the
proposed Increase of Internal revenu?? tax?-*
would also Increase th?- revenue to the extent
estimated. Bui the other proposed amendments
would, as a whole, diminish, rather than ln
crease, the revenue.
"Some crltli'lsm has boon made nn the esti?
mates of the Ways and Means Committee as to
th?? revenue tha: would be produced by ihe Tariff
bill as h passed th.? Huns??. These criticisms
i\.-rlo.ik th?? fact that the Ways and Means Com?
mittee's estimates of the revenue that mli*ht be
expected the first year were baaed on the as?
sumption ihat the bill would become a law be?
fore May 1. The committee in their report ex?
pressly said that while there could be no ques?
tion that the House bill would In any event yield
Buffldenl revenu?? in 'arry on th?? Government
and leave a surplus the second year of its opera?
tion which nobody oven now contradicts and
probably sufficient -for the first year If It could
be promptly PUt in foree. f-i If there should he a
delay In Its ennetment beyond May 1, antlcl?
patory Importations would Inevitably cause a
serious Inroad In the prospective revenue for the
flrsl year.
THE NEED OF PROMPT ACTION.
"Here is what the committee paid on this point:
'What the actual revenue would prove to be In
the year following the enactment "f the proposed
measure into law. Is, "f e.mrse, dependent upon
contingencies which cannot ??.? forecasted with

Washington. May 11 ?The debate on Mr. Mon
gar's Cuban resolution, perfunctory and mori?
bund for the last three or four w"?ks. took on
S vigor and Interest to-<?.iy which were ae
grateful as they were unexpected. Mr Murili,
of Vermont, who seldom venture? into other
fields than those of fiscal and National policy.
Is perhaps to he ?redite?! with Infusing new
vitality Into the Cuban discus-Ion. In a speech
marked hy his customary audacity and felicity
of phras?' h?? ventured this afternoon on a Ren?
erai assault on th?? pre?? nt tendency to enlarge
?he scope ?.f Congressional influence In the man?
agement of foreign relations.
The recognition of belligerency. Mr. Morrlll
argued, was a purelv Executive function, which
Congress was wrong in trying to usurp and
appropriate. The etBSraMe V.-rnvrt Senator
also shot some of the arrows of his ridicule at
the revisers and amender? of the Monroe Doc?
trine, who ha?l sought two winters ago to enact
by resolution a new vorsi >n of .-?tabtlshed
American policy In th? West'm Cortinent.
Mr. Foraker, who has just become a member
of the Foreign Relations Committee, mad?* an
Important contribution to the delate tn a
epeeeh supposed to repr???. nt the views of th??
Administration. He advocated deferring action
until further Information could be secured from

THK DEBATE IN DETAIL.
SENATOR MOnrtHXS VESCE THF ADMINISTRA?
TIONS raUCT DEFINED BT MB. fokakf.i*.
Washington. May 11.?The Morgan Cuban reso,
lutlon was taken up as soon as the rmitlne busi?
ness was out of the way In the Banst?, and Mr.
Morrill (Rep.. Vt.) spoke In opposition. He ?ail
that the purpose of all the Cuban resolution?. In?
cludine that of Mr. Morgan, was to wrest the
Jurisdiction hitherto held and exercised only by
the esecutive branch of the Government in recog?
nizing the belligerent rights or the ir.d-pend? no?
of nations, and thus to exercise the power by
Congress In regard to Cuba. Mr. Monili de.-lar? f
that Congress had no Mici power, ai I that it*
exercise would be contrary to all prer. dent* It
would hardly be claimed, he paid, thai '.ie|llg.?rent
rights of insurgents BbotiM have re**ogsdttagj
based merely on sympathy, ,>u? tbey must he
based on justice and law. Were this country
now to recognize the Cuban Insurgent? as bel?
ligerents, the legitimate Qovtrrnmenl wtssli at
once be releas? d from responsibility for damage?
which American citizens m.iy Bttffer ftOM any
future acts or BllSjflVtllll Of HM IttgaWgCBIB. ??\?
lutlonlsts were not entitled to recognition when
the exicutlv??, legislative and Judicial iunct.ons
were only documentary and migratory.
"LET THK PRESIDENT ???'"??'?."
The fact that th? present Administration was
retaining Oenersl Leg st Havana wan BOSM
proof, he said, that good work Is l etng SOBS there
now, and this, supplemented by the In-tutr?)* tt
a competent special commissioner, would giv?? th??
President better Information than thai ????p\??i
from the sudden inspiration of any Cuban annex
ationist in America. Let th.? President have
some opportunity to exercise the fuoctlOBS and
Bernini th? rasponslbllltlSS of his great office.
Mr. ??-irrlll reviewed the thirty-...id resolu?
tions dealing with Cuba which had best? intro?
duced. Th?? Senator from the gieat peac-lov
ing State of Pennsylvania (Mr. Cam? ron? had
reported a resolution which had Festus been
present would have led him to exclaim In loud
voice: "Paral, thou art i.e?ide thyself; much
learning doth make th?e mad." Other resolu?
tions did not mince matters, but proposed to let
slip the dogs of war at one- Mr. Mirrili held
that Spain, vessd by Bllbustere and by th?? stal?
wart sympathy in th. United States for the In?
surgents, would construe a resolution recogniz?
ing the independen -e of Cuba as equivalent to
a declaration of war For himself hS h"p? d for
the early and complete ind?n">ndence of the Isl
ar.il. and when the time was ripe ?nb psstSansBB
would come, war or no war. But be was wholly
opposed to the annexation of Cuba, as It meant*
the admission Of Cuba as a State e?jual In power
to New-York.
HEW ?????? I'i'-'TRINE RIDHTLED.
Mr llorrlll turned his sttentloa to the "new
and botched version of th?? Monroe Doctrine with
all Its apocryi hai additions by our Intrepid
jingoists." This new version. BS Ball, sought
to make the Fnlt.'d States the "unasked guar?
dian and the Bghttng champion of all the
American republics, lie and little." He com?
pared the pacific sttsrancee of Washington
with this "flatulent exaggeration of the Monroo
Doctrine" He had never accepted this new
version as applied to Venezuela. If It were to be
an established policy, then It was time to create
an army and ? navy wblck would edlps?* all
that might be brought against them, to plls
up taxes to sustain a huge military ?'stabiish
ment. and to supplant the Bfhonlinantsi with
the soldier.
Mr. Morrlll referred to the "belligerent war
whoops of certain statesmen who seemed to wanf
war at any cost."
Mr. Poradter, of Ohio, who has Just be??orne a
member of the Committee on Fi.r.lgn Relations,
epoke briefly on the desirability of careful In?
quiry by that cotnmlttf??. There was no pur?
pose.? he nid, to trille with the MfMluUOB, and he
urged Mr. Morgan to allow It to be ref-rred.
Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) asked what more could
be learned.
Mr F'Taker replied that a QEtWttl ? existed sa
to the facts. The subject divided Itself, he aald.
under three heads: First, what are the fact.?
Second, what is the law applicable to th. factst
Third, what is the policy which WS ar?' to assume
under this condition of law and facts'* He had
read some of the evidence In the posa? smou of
the State Department, and se fati that It should
be examined caiefully bsf< Tt action was tak?'n.
This led Mr. Allen to a warm criticism sf the
"premeditated puip.se ?>f the State I?, partm.nt
lo keep the Senat?? In Ignorance." Fortunately,
however, the world knew the fac:s as to Spanish
cruelties. If delay were to be the ?-?1?,?? of the
Administration, then It was a cowardly policy
