WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The senate
to-day debated for the last time the
finance committees substitute for the
Mills tariff bill, and at sos this evening
passed it. The senate passed the Dill
anecting survey of a national road.
from the Aqueduct bridge to Mount
Vernon, at cost of $4,000. Mr.. Chand-
Ier's resolution of yesterday, calling for
information as to claims for extra allow
ances to officers and men of the navy,
was agreed to. At II 80 the senate took
I'D the tariff bill, the pending question
being Oh the amendment of Mr.. Reagan
to the wool section. MIR. Morrill, said
that the Mills bill was an abandonment
of protection. The senate substitute
would make a reduction of revenue OF
about 73,000,000, and would cover the
country and every part of it with bless
ings. Mr.. Reagan made an argument IN
favor of his amendment. His colleague,
MIR. Coke, followed him with the state
ment that he would vote to put wool on
the free list whenever all the bases of
manufacture were put on the free list.
After remarks by Mr.. Turpie against,
and Mr.. Harris for the amendment, a
| vote was taken and it was rejected
yeas %, nays 81, Senators Brown and
PAYNE voting in the negative. The
amendment proposed to change the
duty on all grades and kinds of wool to
Is per cent ad valorem.] A provlso
offered by Mr.. Vance, that no article In
the wool and wooden schedule should
pay rate exceeding rs per cent ad va
nd
MIR. Payne voting in the negative. An
amendment offered by Mr.. Aldrich, re-
ducing the rate on white pine from 80
to $1.5O per 1000 feet, board measure,
was agreed to without division. Mr..
Vest moved to put pine clapbOards on
the free list. He made all argument III
favor of the amendment, which he said
was in the ..1.... -g
INTEREST OF THE POOR MAN.
Mr.. Stockbridge and Mr.. Palmer made
arguments against the amendment.
Mr.. Palmer said that the duty on 1um-
Der cheapened the price of lumber. Mr..
Plumb said that the mention by Mr..
Vest of the wood screw trust recalled
the fact that the Democratic caucus on
the Mills bill had restored the duty on
wood screws as "a sop to Connecticut
Democrat" He understood that large
part of the profits of the wood screw
trust had served to carry Connecticut
at the lastelection. Mr.. Vest declined
to enter into political discussion. Mr..
Platt said that the question of trusts
had nothing to do with the question of
duties. The worst trusts were found
abroad-the copper trust in France and
the steel trust in England. Mr.. Vance
suggested that the Canadians had better
be allowed to destroy their own forests
and allow the forests of the United
States to be preserved, to which Mr..
Hiscock replied that the supply of lum-
ber from Canada was inhniJeSi-
NAL in comparison with the
total amount used in the United States.
Mr.. Vance moved to amend Mr.. Vests
amendment by making it apply to all
the lumber paragraphs. After remarks
by Mr.. Call. Mr.. Blair and Mr.. Gray, a
vote was taken on Mr.. Vance's amend
ment (Which Mr.. Vest accepted as a
substitute for his amendment and it
was rejected, 10 to %, Mr.. Brown and
Mr.. Call voting in the negative. Mr..
