I'ABLISHED J VOORHEES STARTS IT Opening of the Debate on the Tariff Bill in the Senate.

While his epecch manuseript, It was delivered flery cnergy which terizes extemporaneous efforts. Ther usually full attendance, both on the floor fn the galleries, and the conclusion of gpecch was greeted with a lhearty burst of applause. He lauded the Walker tarift bill of 1848 as of “blessed and glorious memory,’ and regretted exceedingly that this bill did not more closely resemble it. He vigorously defended the income tax feature and the free wool ciause, and as vigorously condemned the sugar bounty and reciprocity of the Mc Kinley bill, the former being ch: rized as “a jumble and fraud.” The latter was an unconstitutional freak.” He called at tention to the fact that today was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson. “that great emancipator of mankind,” and quoted extensively from Mr. Blaine's “Thirty Years In Congress.” In the morning hour Senator Morgan sought to passed a bill providing for the carrying into effect of the awards of the board of arbitration in the Bering sea matter, but when it was on the eve of its passage it went over until the bill could be printed. Then the unfinished business, the bill of Senator Hansbrough for the destruction of the Russlan thistle, was laid before the senate, and immediately came into col- tision with the tarift bill, which Senator Voorhees had given notice of his intention 1o cali up at that time. Senator Hansbroagh asked that the finished business should be temporarily aside in favor of the opening speech on the tarift, without losing its place as the un- finished busines his was met by a mo- tion from Senator Harris that the tariff bill be made the unfinished business. While he was opposed to the bill of the senator from North Dakota, he said if there should be any gap in the consideration of the tariff bill, he would have no objection to the Rusiiun thistle being taken vp. He would be wiiling 1o glve the senator his day in court, but he could not afford to let the great tarift bill play second fiddle to the thistle bill. The tariff bill must now be made the unfinished business, he declared, or a majority of the enators must declare against it. Senator Hansbrough, though defeated, marched off the fleld with colors flying and bands playing, for he announced that al- though the thistle bill was aimed at the pro- toction of agriculture, while the tariff bill,’ from his point of vision, was intended to destroy it, yet in view of present circuimn- Btances he would withfiraw his proposition. GREETED BY A CROWDED HOUSE. The tarift bill belng made the unfinished business by the enthusiastic acclamation of the majority, with only a few scarcely heard nays from the republican side Mr. Voorhees was recognized. He looked mround upon a well filled chamber, whose members accorded him the closest attention. A number of representatives came over from the house to watch the progress of the bill Fhe galleries were crowded with an utten- Hve audieuce, which paid the strictest ton to the speaker on the floor. Noorhees, as is his usual custom ppeech from a convenlent desk mad large books piled upon his desk. He said: Mr. President, great abuses in govern- ment, strong by the sanction and growth of years, embedded in the powerful intere of privileged classes created, fostered, couraged and protected by the laws them selves, have rarely, if ever, in any age, been promptly and totally eradicated, except by forcible revolution and bloodsh uch s the concurrent and unbroken testimony of history. “The spirit of peaceful and practical re- form, on the other hand, is a reasoning and progressive spirit, moving forward step by step, no matter how radical and thorough its ends and aims may be and overcoming the most gigantic evils with patient wisdom and courage, rather than by violent and whole- gale assault. The protective system of as developed and fastened upon the b ness and labor of the American people growing worse at every stage, Is a system of indescribable injustice and oppression; and yet who will contend that all its vieious principles and workings can he annihilated by a single blow or totally wiped out by a single legislative enactment? For the bill now under consideration, no such claim is made, but n its behalf it can be truthfully asserted and will be suc fully maintained, that it accomplishes a vast work in the field of tarifft reform, embodies a great relief to the people from iniquitous existing burdens nd constituting a long stride, though not & final one, toward the appproaching day of perfect deliverance, 'Sir I challenge the attention of the sen- ate and the country to the great and com manding fact-that by the provisions of this bill, the seeming paradox of a reduction of tuxes and at the same time an increase of ‘;m.nn revenues will be reconciled when It ecomes a law. 1 will not stop (o consider at this point the vast individual robberies committed in protected markets. Over and beyond this well known field of extortion and injustice it will be found that the tarift taxes now officlally ascertained and paid under oxisting law, on the wants, nec essities and daily consumption of the labor 11g men, women and children of the United States have been reduced more than $76,000 000 per annum, of which amount $23,500,000 18 on woolen manufactures alone, To this must be added the further imposing fact that the bill provides for a full and ample rovenue, largely in excess of prosent sup plies, with which to meet all the require- ments of the publio credit 'With such a beneficient and sfupendous result now plainly within the reach of the ‘American people and almost ready for their eager enjoyment, I envy not the fate of the party, nor the wman, nor the set of m #ho shall constitute themselves a hindranc and an obstruction to its speedy fulfilment “The enactment of the McKinley law in 3890 was a glgantic crime, not only against every workingman in the United Staies, but also against every Lavidual manufac- turer and against ail manufacturing inter ests, iy &0 Never be forgotten that the #hECtment of the McKinley law was followed almost immediately by a reduction of th wuges of all workers In iron and steel, be ginning at Homestead in Pennsylvania, under Carnegle, resulting in bloodshed and whole sale murder, and extending to all parts of the country and to almost every branch of manufacturing industry.” .

In securing a sufficient revenue for the support of the government with as light a tax possible on the necessaries of life, I have at all times earnestly favored an increased tax on whisky. My sincere regret is that more money for the government was not obtained from the same source and conse- quently less from other sources of a dif- ferent character. Speaking of the proposed which he warmly upholds, Mr. Voorhees said: “The proposition contained in the pending bill to levy a tax of 2 per cent on all net incomes of corporations and of in- dividuals in excess of $4,000 per annum is go just and equitable toward the hard-working taxpayers of meager resources throughout the entire country that not a word in its defense or explanation would seem neces- liere or anywhere else. But the nar- row and corroding selfishness of riches has been aroused by this simple measure of ju tice into flerce resentment and contention. We hear on ull hands the dictatorial voice of individual and corporation wealth de- manding that it shall not be disturbed by the demands of the slightest touch of the taxgatherer, whatever may be the demands of the government or the oppression of toil- ing masses. 1 do earnestly believe that the limit of endurance has been reached, that » time has come for a test to be made be- tween the power of hoarded money and the power of productive labor, that the peopie from this time forward, more than ever be- fore, will organize and take rapid and heroic measures against the continued and brutal dictation of the plutocracy, against the paramount influence of wealth, against the rules and supremacy of the rich in shi ing the financial policy of this government in their own interests."

It is 2 matter of actual demonstration however, that if the farmer should got an fx creased price for his wool by reason of a tarift for its protection, he will pay it all out and much more to the manufacturer as 4 duty on woolen goods when he next buys a flannel shirt, an overcoat or a pair of trousers. > VOORIHEES' CONCLUSION. Mr. Voorhices concluded as follows: ““When the day shall dawn in which the farmer, the mechanic and the wage worker shall alike have the right and the privilege to go into the open, liberated markets of the land, buy where their hard-earned money will buy most for their wants, with none to molest, to assess, to levy, to take (oll, or to task or to tax, then indeed will the millennium of labor have cone and all the sons and daugh- ters of toil shall rise up and call their gov- ernment blessel “Sir, this is wool the birthday of Thomas J ferson. One hundred and fifty-one years ago today he came into the world, the greatest emancipator of thought, philosopher of liberty and teacher of the natural rights of man_ever known in human history. The blows he struck for freedom, justice and cquality in government are vet resounding throughout the earth, and they will never cease to be heard until the last shackle of privilege and tyranny is broken. Ten days before his soul took flight from his moun- tain home, he wrote his parting words his own countrymen and to all the races of mankind. With this great dying message before us and its spirit we take new cour- age and go on with our work. ‘All eyes are open or opening,’ he said, ‘to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth that the mass of man Kind has not been born with saddles on their backs, not a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately by the grace of God.' “Hail mighty message and hail its speedy nd certain’ fulfiliment. Al hail the coun- sels of Thomas Jefferson in this hour of caste, based on wealth, or privilege granted by law, and of monopoly faste 1 on the slavery of labor." A few minutes before 4 o'clock Voorhees concluded his speech, which had lasted nearly two hours, As he took his seat a.wave of applause swept ove the gallery,. which the vice president had some diffienlty in quelling. Owing to the lateness of the hour, Se AMison, who had intende swer tor Voorhees, yielded for an executive se sfon. As the bill introduced by Senator Morgau to carry ont the awards of (he Hering tribunal had not come from the printer, that, too, went over temporarily after being called up, and Senator Morgan cansented to the executive session. After being in exeeutive session an hour and a_quarter the doors were reopened and at 5:26 p. m. the senate adjourned until 12 o'clock tomorrow.

CORRECTS MAJOR MOORE. Then Mr. Butterworth called his attention again to the interview in the office of Major Moore. “My recollection is that it was a much shorter visit than Major Moore has sald,” he continued. “It was rapid and e iting; the young woman did most of the talking This statement Mr. Breckinridge desired to make to correct an Impression Major Moore had given that the conversation had lasted a much longer time. He went over the ation heretofore given in thi tnterview and which included the state ment to the plaintiff that “I will marry you the last day of the month if God dou't interpose.” Mr. Butterworth asked the witness what interviews he had with Miss Pollard prior to the interview of the 17th with Major Moore. The colomel then related in detail interviews t oceurred and the substance of the conver- sation as he remembered them. These in- oluded the interview with Mrs. Thomas the afternoon of the 13th of May, when he left Miss Pollard in a real or simulated fainting condition. On the next day, Sun day, while at the Riggs house. in answer to a card sent to his room, he saw her in the ladies’ parlor and had an amiable and friendly conversation with the plaintift. At this time the latter expresesd regret at what had occurred along the street and in Major Moore's office. Plaintiff gave him a chedule of what she would in the way of underw nd other clothes prior to the trip to New York. They parted with every evidence of good feeling and sin cerity on the part of the plaintiff to carry out the agreement between them whereby ghe was fto go to New York. That evening a boy came to the hotel and sald Miss Pollard” wanted to see him with a message requesting that he take her to Mrs, Blackburn’s, where she wanted to stay all night. He took her to Mrs. Bluckburn's hou Monday she came again to the hotel and presented to him another schedule for clothing. She wanted a little more money to make preparations to go away. The nest day she sent him a note and they took lucch at the Shorcham. They talked again of the trip to New York and she told him the name of the physician in whose care she was (o put herself, and witness told her that this doctor was a comrade of his in the war. The next day after this the plaintiff came to see him again and on the night of that day they saw Mrs. Blackburn, who, after hearing their explanation, said she would wash her hands of the whole matter. Mrs. Biackburn approved the agreement for the plaintift to go to New York. The following day the plaintiff again came to the hotel and a conversation ensued between them as to a further conference which it was proposed should be leld with Major Moore prior to her going away. As he described how he had waved her off Colonel Breckinridge gesticulated very impressively with both bands and explained the whole intervicw in pantomine. There was a tragic inflection to his tones as he closed the ac- count of the visit to Mrs. Thomas with “Then I left her.” There was a constant reiteration in the defendant’s denials, He would frame them in every possible form of negation of time, place and wmanuer. MRS. BLACKBURN PARTS WITH THEM. Mere was no further explanation to give. I could give no further explanation, and Mrs. Blackburn said she would wash her lands of us—would wash her hands of peo- ple who engaged and acted in that way and could give no explanation of it,” was one of the characteristic utterances. During the description of the second visit to the major he said: “We agreed to say that she w going to New York to have a child; that I was the author of her preg- nancy. We agreed on all but one point She insisted, erying several times, that I should tell Mujor Moore I was the only man who had ever been intimate with her. T declined to do that. I said I had put myself in the power of her and Major Moore already, and that I would refuse to say to any man that I had seduced hor. Then she said she would not go. As she turned her Jacket back 1 saw the gleam of a pistol in her bosom I sald “You're sitting close to me,” and she said: ‘I will use that on myself if T do on anybody. hen describing the scene in the office of chief of police, where they sat on the sofa, he sald: ‘‘She seemed to be dissatis- fled with the form In which 1 made the statement. She took out the pistol and looked at it. I said, ‘You had better let Major Moore take that and make me a Christmas present of it.' Then I sald that nobody could say that I had seduced her, because the first night I saw her 1 took libertics with her aid the second night 1 slept with her. I made this statement about not ucing her with considerable force, even temper The account of this Interview in Major Moore's office differed from the version of it given by that officer and the plaintift. Con- tinuing his recital for the ungements of Miss Pollard’s visit to New York for con- finement, Colonel Breckinridge said she only wanted to arrive the with $10 in her pocket, because she was afraid if she had more she would come back to Washington. She was to stop at No. 7 Thirty-first street, where she would have good care, She was to study pafnting on Thina or fn water colors when her strength would enable her to and to continue her studies in English lterature. He sald; *I onsidered the problem settled, g0 far as Washington wag concerned, so far as Mrs. Blackblrn wak concerned, so far as our sexual relations were concerned, The only thing left open was regarding the child 1 said to her that if it was my child, as I only partially believed it was, | wanted to educate it, to take care of it, to give it every chance possible for a child born out of wedlock, and In the meantime she was o have every and tenderness.

Miss Pollard had gone to New York on May 18 and had returned on the 19th. After a riving in_Lexington he received a telogram to the effect that Miss Pollard was coming there. He returned tids message, the prinel pal part of which was “Wait, it will come referring, he declared. to money. This cor respondence was revicwed at length, An objection was red by Mr. Wilson that 1If Colonel Breckinridge had dest the letters from Miss Pollard to which these telegrams were answdrs he could not testify regarding their contents, It was replied (o by Mr, Butterworth that the letters had not been destroyed with any view of concealing evidence, but b they were not good things to preserve us family rellcs, for it found they would coinpromise both the re- ciptent and the sender “IL was my custom,” explained Colonel Breckinridge, “to destroy my letters from the plaintiff as soon as received.” Judge Bradley overruled the objection, Referring to one telegram, which “Wholly uncertain, possibly by any Wholly certain June tho 13th,” dated Ma He said he could not recollect to what that was a reply, but apprehended that it was a reply to one of many letters inquiring when he would return to Washington. His name, William C. P. Breckinridge, at the end of the telegram, he read with an im pressive inflection. These dispatches had dence by Miss Pollard’s and Col- onel Breckinridge wax giving explanation of them, although several e read without com- ment. He scemed to be amused when he spoke of a Clncinnati paper, sent by his son, containing “An announcement of the engages ment_between plaintifi and myself. Mecting somebody on the street they spoke of it, he went on, “and I denled that such a m riage was possible. This was printed In the Gazette, and, being seen by the plaintiff, she wrote me (wo or three letters, inquiring if 1 had made the denlals and threatening to publish our relations entire in the papers and republish them at Lexington.” “Did you,” asked Mr. Butterworth, “have any sexual relations with the plaintiff after the 20th of April, 18082 This is the date on which the defendant was secretly married to Mrs. Wing. DENIED THE STATEMENT. Mr. Breckinridge—X did not after the 20th of April, 1592, have any sexual intercou with the plaintiff whatever. It is absolutely false. I never had any sexual Intercourse with the plaintiff after the dist day of March, at ny time or any place, I returned on the st of March and had the conversation with Mrs. Blackburn. Plamtift and I had no sexual relations on that day, nor ever after that day. The arrangement made prior to my going to Mrs. Blagkburn's, as a condition of my going to Mrs, Blackburn's, as the only reason 1 would go 10 Mrs. Blackburn's, was that our relations should terminate; that she should leave the city of Washington and that the relations between her and Mrs. Black- burn should be allowed to die out gradually and 1 should support her until she could find some honorable vocation Speaking of the plaiatifi’s employment in the census office, Calewel Breckinridge said that she had lost i ing his absence, when he thought she ‘was harshly treated. Miss Pollard had e e ramerk expressing gratification at the death of General Sher- men, as was published at the time, although Mr, Breckinridge did not mention it. Te had done everything iu his power to assis her in obtaining rcading matter, but had never adyised her about her studies, except to endeaver to make her take up rudi- mentary studies, in which she was peculiarly deficient for a woman of her reading. He had assisted her in getting books from the congressional library, sending a list by the page, and never furnished her with a trans- latfon of the Odyssey. It was ten minutes before 12 when Mr. Butterworth announced that the direct ex amination had finished, although there might be a few more questions, and asked for a recess to enable him to look over his notes, 8o the recess was announced earlier than usual, until 12:45. IN THE HANDS OF WILSON. “Take the witness;” said Mr. Butterworth at the beginning of the afternoon session, and Mr. Wilson, reminding Colonel Breck- inridge of his early educational advantages, asked him what prepardtory schools he had attended, and then asked, “You had unusual educational advantages? “Very unusual,” was the reply. “And social advantages.” “Yes, sir. “You began the practice of law wher “In 1857." “Your pr war?"” “Yes, sir; and I returned in 1865." “Was your professional carcer interrupted by dificulties with your clients? “It was not.” “Were your friends not obliged money to help you out of trouble?” “T became greatly fnvolved trying to save sowe friends from bankruptcy, but did not have trouble with clients." “Your friends were not obliged to return money you had misappropriated?” “They were not."

Thereupon Mr. Willon handed up to tne colonel and requested. him to read an i vitation which he had sent to Miss Pollard in February, 1893, requesting the pleasuro of her company at a reception to Hon.

By questions concerning the colonel'® resi- dence In Lexington in 1884 Mr. Wilson elicited that his home was on the same street as that of Sarah Guess, four blocks away.

Dickinson stated that this road did ting cxpenses. Then Judge in his emphatic way made tho that the court would not operate a dead member, and he would make an that effect on the conclusion of the He staied he would allow the com- to operate it as it fit, but the would have nothing do with a sossion known in as road, Denver via Gun- ord trial pany court saw to weak sister, Mr. Dickinson was asked by Judge Caldwell how many men were in the employ of tho company at the time the road went into the hands of the receivers, to which Mr. Dickin- son replied about 22,000, He stated that there were 7,601 miles in the system at the time the road passed into the hands of the recoivers, as well as several lines of steam- bo “WILL IIAVE NO DRUNKENNESS." Judge Caldwell then asked him whether there was a general rule prohibiting the use of intoxicating liquors as applying to the men, to which Mr. Dickinson responded that thera was a general rule on the working time card lating to the use of intoxicants. Tho court then asked if the general manager would retain in his employ a passenger en- gineer or conductor who became lntoxicated on or off duty. To this Mr. Dick‘nson re- plied that e he would not retain a man in his s who became intoxicated while on duty, but the officials had little knowledge of what the men did while off duty. Should reports come to him of drunk- enness on the part of the employes he would investigate the charge and if found true would immediately discharge the offender, but if found fo be a first offense he would probably send the man off with a reprimand, Judge Caldwell then remarked that he would insist upon a more stringent rule as to fn- toxication before leaving Omaha. To this M Dick on replied that the federated trades were very falr In this regard and stood firm as to drunkenness. Then Judgo Caldwell remarked that it would be most un- fortunate if the court took a lower level than the men themselves and e would insist upon more stringent rules. In regard to the improvement of the char- acter of the men In the service of the com- pany, brought about by the joint efforts of the organjzations of employes and the offi- cers of the conipai Mr. Dickinson related a thrilling experience he had while division superintendent in Wyoming, which was be- fore the organizations and the company had taken such radical stands on the question of drunkenn ud vicions conduct generally. One day an engineer came into his office withr a loaded revolver in his hand and tried in every way p ible to provoke a quarrel, that he might have an excuse for using the weapon. The belligerent engineer was finally led out hy a brother engineer, On the following night an engincer named Pieronet came in drunk, and, with the ever present revolver, started out to hunt him up with the avowed purpose of illing both Mr. Dickinson and Roadmaster Graves, Graves was a magnificent specimen of physical man- hood, who did not know what fear was, and when he came down to the office laughed at the warning to look out for himself, be- cause Pieronet was looking for him with a gun. Results proved he had better have heeded the warning, for Graves and Pleronet met in the hallway and the drunken engineer shot and Killed him. The coroner's jury re- turned a verdict that Graves committed sui- cide. Such was the character of some of the men the company had in its service in the years that were past, Mr. Dickinkon having the opportunity then said he would like to read the history of the Unlon Paclfic as to the strikes and other features which have handicapped the sys- tem in past days. To this Judge Caldwell siaid that thing bearing on the question would be heard. Mr. Dickingon then read the history of the strikes on the Union Pacific in 1882, 1886, L1880, 1881, giving the of the difficulty and the cost to the question of notice which to the men regarding the ge In schedules. The court showing partienlar intercst the question of notice sald that he could not agree with Mr. Dickinzon as to the forty days notice which the management insisted had been given, but rather than take up the time fn a general discussion Judge Cald- well decided to that matter until a later dat Mr. Dickinson Thurston as to rates on the system son replied that the t duetion was very appi while there was a notice penses stated that been reduced faster than the motive power conld be kept up to meet the business and the conditions were growing more pecullar every came the had heen given proposed ¢l in was then asked by the general Judge reduction in which Mr. Dickin- ency toward a re- ent from the figures, ble increase in ex- freight rates have 1o FREIGHT RATE REDUCTIONS B . Wood, assistant general freight agent, was put on the stand to prove the keneral reduction of freight rates during tie past ten or twelve years and stated It had been wade (o extent as 1o prac tically cover the entire system 9 It was 1.69 per cent, In 1500 .01 1501 1.865, in 1892 1.2 Since January 1, 1803, there had been heavy reductions in ratos to the Pacifi 1 Montana com- mon points ranging from 45 to 15 per cent the latter on the lower olasses, These have been brought ubout by building of new Mues, water competition and by order of state laws, On cross-examination the wit ness stated the tonnage had increased. He read figures from the annual report showing the amount of increase in tonnage. He stated the freight earnings had been as fol- lows: In 1880 they were $25,051,716.89; 1890, $30,330,930.11; 1591, $30,660,605.20; 1892, $81,~ 7060, The witness stated that local to Colorado und paints west of Ne. braska had been reduced fully as muoh as in Nebraska. The decrease in Colorado had been probubly 20 per cout. The decrease ap plied to noncompetitive points.
