WAsHISGroS, Sept. 6.-The senate
committee amendment placing spongcs
on the free list was lost-ayes, 16; noes,
80. The rate of duty Of 20 per cent. ad
valorem was restored.
After some discussion the FREQ list
paragraph regarding fish was amended
to read as follows: Fresh fish which
are caught by citizens Of the United
States in the nigh sens or In the open
waters of the lakes forming the bound
aries between the United States and the
Dominion Of Canada"
The paragraph relating to fish on the
dutiable list was taken up. the question
being on the finance committees substi-
tute for the house paragraph, which
fixed the duty at cent per pound on
fish fresh or salted. Tho committee
amendment fixes the duty at 4 cent per
pound.
Mr.. Gray offered an amendment, pro-
vidng that such fish shall be admitted
free from any country that admits
American fishing vessels into their ports
for the purchase of supplies, including
bait.
Mr.. Gray's amend ment was rejected
and committee substitute, slightly
modified, was agreed TO.

Tho River and Harbor Bill Passed
tho Senate.

WASHINGTON, Sept S.-The senate
this morning agreed to the conference
report on the river and bnrbor bill with
out division. The bill now goes to the
president.
The tariff bill was then taken up, tho
debate ON the bill and amendments to be
limited TO thirty minutes for any sena.
tor on any one subject.
After number OF verbal amen ndments
had been agreed to Mr.. Plumb offered an
amendment imposing tax Of $i.25 per
gallon on distilled spirits. He said that
he offered 1t because he believed II would
be necessary to have the additional rev.
enue thus provided of $21, sos, 600 to meet
the requirements Of tho government.
The reduction Of the revenue, which the
bill, as It passed the house, would effect,
had been estimated at S7l, 900. BY
the restoration of the tobacco tax In the
senate that reduction had been dimin-
ished to 10000. 900, qualified by the
somewhat ambiguous statement from
tho finance committee that If importa-
tions were kept under tho present scale,
Notwithstanding the Increase Of dutlos,
the reduction Of the revenue would be
only about $4,000
Mr.. Plumb went on 10 give q resum Q
OF the appropriations for the year. and
to argue that the appropriations for
future years would not fall short Of those
