regard to the meat which was put bi

Tribute to the memory of the lat
Alexander R, Shepherd, former Go^
arnor of the District of Columbia, wa
paid by citizens of the District at th

Senator Dolliver spoke upon th
tariff Tuesday and enlivened the pr<
ceedings of the Senate. Mr. Doll
ver said he had been accused, in pu
suing the course he had taken i
support of lower tariff duties, of
'mere cowardly acquiescence to
sentiment in Iowa. He read an ed
toriul criticism to that effect, sayin
he would not have done so "were i
not an authentic echo from the Sei
ate chamber itself. He said hi
course was in pursuance of a cotitrai
entered into with the people of hi
State nine years ago when he wr
first elected to the Senate. \Yhe
Mr. Dolliver declared, as he said ci
the authority of Mr. Aldrich, that th
schedules of the pending bill wei
made by officers of the New Yor
customs house and not by the con
mittee on finance. Mr. Aldric
promptly denied that he had made
statement on which such nil assei
tion could be based.
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, 'Wedne!

again he secured the undivided a

Recalling that Mr. Aldrich had sai
Tuesday that it would be shown 1
the Senate that no changes increasir

Dolliver said that if that was a co
rect statement, he would expect ?
of the italics carrying Senate amen
mcnts to be stricken from the men
ure. The fact was. he said, th
these cotton rates were increased. 1
then read from a New York new
paper, which he added had fi
"twenty years been watchful of tl
spiritual side of the Senator fro
Massachuetts" (Mr. Lodge), stnt
raent to the effect that Mr. Lodj
had said, that as reported from tl
committee on finance, the cottt
schedule, as amended by the Sena
committee, was "of great value i
Massachusetts." The same articl
he said, also appeared in a Bostc
paper.
Mr. Dolliver said Mr. Lodge wi
quoted as saying that "the ad valore
rate in cotton had been incrased."
Mr. Lodge said that that must 1
