tor Hm who was also WlfedlftFa
At 12:38 Senator Harris, the floor man-
ager of the tariff bill, called up the
conference report. Almost every seat
on the fl or was occupied. Hill was on
hand and was immediately recognised
for a s:* eeb.
The New York senator spoke for al-
most two hours. Several times the
presiding officer was unable to restrain
the enthusiastic applause his remarks
ev ked, notably when Mr. Hill declared
that pe^ponal considerations would not
pr* vent him from defending the presi-
dent when he was unjustly attacked.
He defended Mr. Cleveland's letter,
his right to send it, and the sentiments
it c■ stained, and made a strong point
ag;.:n*t his adversaries when he pointed
out that they criticized the president for
sid ng with the house, when they ad-
mitted that they had used all their In-
fill* need to induce him to interpose in
behalf of the senate amendments to the
tariff bill. He took up Mr. (rorman's
argument and met it point by point in a
manner satisfactory to himself, at least,
an . concluded with a piece of satire that
stu-ig those on the floor and tickled the
ga: cries immeasurably.

The Republicans also presented a
solid front. Quay, who vofol for the

in the senate, joined with his colleagues
in the hope of beating the bill by this

senators voted with the Republicans.
After these votes no attempt was made
to delsy matters, and the resolution to
agree to a further conference wss
agreed to without division.
The chair then reappointed the eon-
ferfeee. Messrs. Voorhses, Jones, Vest,
Harris, Sherman. Allison and Aldrich,
and the senate, after transacting a little
routine business, adjourned until Mon-

conference report on the tariff bill.
Mr. Vilas was immediately reeog-
himI. but yielded to Mr <^uay, who
with Irew the Mijf.ir amendments he of-
fetvd just before adjournment Wetlnes-
day night.
Se nator Vilas of Wiscoiein. wht> was
oscretary of the interior and later post-
nia>ter gent-ral during Mr. Cleveland's
first administration, replied at great
length t-> senator C orman's attack upon
the president. For two hours he held
the floor amid the wrapt attention of
the senate and galleries, delivering his
scathinu rebuke to the Maryland sen-
ator. He denounced Gorman's assault
as wanton, reckless and unjustifiable,
and th >ugh he declared that Mr. Cleve-
land n« eded no defense at his hands, he
took up seriatum the charges made by
Mr. (vortnaa and met them with mas-
terly skill ami logic. He made his state-
ment. he said, in the interest of the
truth of history.
Mr. Gorman was not in the senate at
th*> time and to this fact the Wisconsin
senator called attention with regret.
In c\inclusion he eulogized the personal
character and integrity of Mr. Cleveland
in the most glowing terms, glowing
with dramatic fervor, that the president
of the United States, who received so
many evidences of the honor and respect
of the American people, could not suffer
from this unjustifiable attack of the
Maryland senator.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr.
Vilas explained that in view of the /act
that Messrs. Gorman. Brice and Smith
had assured him that his motion to re-
cede from the one-eighth differential in
favor of the refiners of sugar must fsil
and the further fact that a Democratic
caucus had decided to agree to a further
conference with instructione, he would
withdraw the motion.

Washington, July 27.—There was not
a quorum of members in the house at
any time, and all the business that was
transacted was by unanimous consent.
Only once was there a hitch in the
smooth running congressional ma-
chinery. and in thia case advantage was
taken of the absence of a quorum to pre-
vent action on a bii.1.
At 5 o'clock the house took a recees

Washington, July S«>.—The houee

bly acted upon at the Friday night ses-
sions were passed, ae were also a num-
ber of other senate and house bills.
Ths only thing of importance in ths
proceedings was the discussion, without

Minneapolis, July 80.—A
from Phillips says: The terrible
at Phillips beggars all description—the
blackened faoee of those who fought to
eave their homes stare with bloodshot
eyes st the heaps of ruins which mark
their once happy hoinee. Not eince the
terrible forest fires that destroyed Pal
tago hss anything occurred which will
describe the scene of ruin here.
A committee of citiseus of Ashland
arrived with a special train late Satur-
day night which was the first material
relief to arrive, and It arrived in time to
keep the people from actual suffering.
The provisions were given out In smell
quantities, ro ae to make them last ss
long ss possible and keep something
available until other provisions arrived.
Men and women walk the streets wring-
ing their hande and bemoaning their aad
fate. A town hall and a few buildings
are all that is left standing. Tents are
now being utilised.
Governor Peck and his staff arrived
from Madiaon yesterday morning. A
dozen cars of provisions have arrived
from various a ties and the organisation
for relief has been completed. Great
crowds of rcsideuts win were chased
out of the city by the flames Friday are
retnrning to look over the ruins. Al-
ready lumber is being shipped in for the
purpose of rebuilding and operations
have already begun.
It is a remarkable coincidence that all
of the terrible fires in northern Wiscon-
sin have occurred on July 27. It wss
on July 27, 1*92, that Iron River, in
the northern part of Wiso nsm. was to-
tally wiped ont by the flames, and all
the state responded promptly to the call
for aid. Fairfield, another sawmill
town, waa almost totally wiped out by
fire July 27, 1893. and now conft* the
total destruction of Phillips on Frtdav.
