Washington. Dec. 17. Yesterday's session of the senate developed uw most eventful and exciting debate that either branch of congress has heard in a Ions; time. It brought forward tne recog raized leaders of the various parties and element3, including such conspicuous figures as Sherman. Fryo, Teller, Gor man. Vest. Aldrich. Piatt. Mitchell of Oregon, Chandler. Hale and Allen In notable statements on the leading ques tions which have engaged the attention of congress and the country of late. Not only were the lines laid down on tariff and finance, but the debate par took of all the pent-up feeling result ing from the recent national contest, otten It was dramatic in Its intensity and at all times absorbingly Interesting; to the crowded galleries and Intent body of senators. Political differences came in for a fair share of attention, and the names of McKlnley and Bryan often were heard. President Cleveland also came In for a share of attention. Allen declaring that the president was a Republican who rejoiced with Repub licans over the recent mutual victory. Vest Lets Laos the Oratory. ine oeuaie came unexpectedly n-n Vest called up the Allen resolution for consideration of the Ding'ey bill In or der to make some remarks on It. Vest was in his usual caustic vein and his speech teemed with those graceful and catchy phrases for which he is noted. It severely arraigned the doctrine of protection and derided the promises or prosperity held out. he said, by Me. Kinley, which could not be fulfilled by levying more taxes on the people. There were frequent sharp and amusing cross fires between Vest and Aldrich, Chandler and Frye. ' Alice Make the Sitoattoa Acute. The debate advanced to a more acute stage when Allen, with his usual blunt ness began to question Chandler as to the future of the Dingley bill. He asserted that the Republicans had no need to fear opposition from the presi dent who had "gone over, body and soul to the Republican party." This brought forward Sherman and Teller. The Ohio senator spoke with deep earn estness, declaring that It was a crime for congress not to give the government ample revenue for needful exp?nditures. He characterized the silver substitute to the Dingley bill as a monstrosity designed to cripple legislation and ob struct the operations of the govern ment. He approved Cleveland's course In Issuing bonds to maintain the gold reserve. Aad the TMagley Bill Is Dead. Teller followed, pointing out the fu tility of urging the Dingley bilL As to future tariff legislation he reserved his Judgment on it until the measure was presented and its merits considered. Gorman also pointed out the useless ly ess of urging the Dingley bill, con ceding, however, that after March 4 next the Republican senators would be in sufficient strength to pass a tariff bill. As to the course on the Demo. cratlc ",de he BaJJ he anticipated no 8t.lon to uc? ure beyond Throughout the debate the sentiment had prevailed that the Dingley bill was dead, and to give this final and appar ently official sanction Piatt, of the finance committee, announced that no effort would be made to urge that bill to 'passage. Next Sherman promptly arose and said that in view of what had been said he acquesced In the gen eral sentiment that no further effort should be made on the Dingey MIL This was regarded as the final disposi tion of the bill. The debate ran on continuously until 4 p. m. when the senate went Into eve. KM ana soon inerearter ad- journed. During the morning hour the pension appropriation bill was as it came from the house. The day In the hnnse was productive of little progress. The army appropria tion bill was under discussion, but a deadlock occurred over the proposition for the abandonment of the army and navy hospital at Hot Springs, Art, and the house adjourned. 8ENATK COMMITTEE AXD CUBA. Aetloa Postpnaed aa the Reeotatlaas That Have Beea OttVred. Washington. Dec 17. The senate com mittee on foreign relations took no vote on any Cuban proposition yesterday, but there was a sufficiently general ex pression of opinion to lead the friends of a declaration favorable to Cuban In dependence to conclude that If a vote had been taken they would have won. While all the resolutions before the committee were read and commented upon the general tendency was towards the simple declaration for Independence contained In the Cameron Joint resolu tion. All the members of the commit tee complain of the absence of accurate data upon which to proceed, and some rf them complain that there is a ten dency to exaggeration en both sides of the Cuban controversy which renders the problem of what to do all the more difficult to congress. Sherman. Cameron and Turpie were appointed a sub-committee to go to the state department and confer with Secretary On ley for the purpose of nee Ing If he had any further information which might be placed at the disposal of the committee, and also to ascertain more particularly what his views are upon the effect of any definite declara tion by congress. The question was raised In the committee that action by congress might produce results of great aeriousness and this had the effect of postponing action yesterday. sn . . . .
