THE SUGAR TARIFF.
Scheme of Adinaimnnt


WASuINGroN, March 20. The sub.
committee Of the House Ways and
Means Committee, consisting ui MrSsrs.
Tucker, Carlisle, Gibson, Garfield and
Frye, to-day held apTutracted session on
the sugar question, aud, although no
final vote was taken, much uuauimity
was expressed in favor oi the general
scheme proposed. The Committee, ON
the basis Of official values oi all class.
eS Of sugar, under the present tariff, for
past nine years, decided to recommend
the laying of specific duty upon all
sugars upon an al yalorem prinuiplc as
nearly as possible. To ascertain tho
amount OF duty, they agreed tn take
% per cent. AL valOrCm as duty Tor
which 10 fix an equivalent specific duty,
believing that this would not reduce the
present amount Ofrcytuuv. The yuluJ-
tluu of our sugar imports being nearly
SSO, COO, ,0OO, 90 per cent. would realize to
the government nearly SO ,0OOuOO rcyc-
uur. The only departure from the old
duties on the standard proposed Is that all
sugar ui No. Z Dutch standard, and uu-
der, whose Crystalizable strength shall
test above SO shall pay the rate ot the
duty imposed on the next higher class.
The present classification Is retained.
except that the two classes lrpW tu 10
and from 10 to l3 respectively, are
thrown Into one class utlrUm to Is
Dutch standard. The subcommittee
think ~ per cent. AL yIlorcm, would
realize the rates oi the duty respective
w as follows on the several GLASSES:
Ou McladO, lgl cents per pound,

Of the riot yesterday. was rs follows:
Chavelier Celery, member for county
Wexford in the late Parliament, seeks
reelection as Home Ruler, while Par
nell has nominated two other candidates
as obstructionists, one OF whom is very
unpopular. Chevalier Oclsry's party,
some ten thousand strong, took posses

rived accompanied by the members OF
the Enniscorthy Club. He attempted
to get on the platform, and was received
with shouts of mo dictatIon." His
friends were attacked, beaten aud thrown
down, several with bleeding heads. A
body OF armed police was drawn up near
the platform. Had Parnell's party been
numerous, the list OF casualties would
have been very large.

on the anniversary Of the recognition Oi
American Independence in 1883, in
New York City, was discussed.
Mr.. Thurman said he would be glad to
see such an exhibition and see it sue
ceed but he thought this not wisely
conceived bill. In his judgment the
only way to make such an affair success
ful was 10 appoint very few men, the
best men available for the purpose, aud
pay them good salaries To enable them
10 devote their whole time to it.

Mr.. Thurman moved TO amend the
substitute proposed by Mr. lloar, by

said war premiums were expressly ex

that. but they were not insisted on by
our Government; not penny was ever
awarded 10 us in respect OF the enhanced
premiums. He wanted the Senate to

distinct proposition.
In the miist Of the debate Mr.. Thur

the request Of Mr.. Mcpherson, he with
drew the motion 10 allow the Joint reso-
