tfty-tour senators, eleven more than
quorum.
At the request of Senator German the
Manderson resolution was tenn
porarily laid aside, Senator Aldrich
stating that voting quorum would
appear in two hours.
Senator Murphy then called up his
| resolution declaring against further tariff
legislation at this session. Mr.. Murphy
offered an amendment to his resolution
declaring 1t to be the sense Of the SEN
ate that
No Further Tariff Legislation
should be considered at this session, and
that it was advisable to adjourn at the
earliest possible moment. Without a
word of debate the vote was taken OH
| the resolution as modified. A great deal
of confusion followed the announce
ment. in the midst Of which Mr. Lind
! say (Dem., ky.) offered resolution eX-
pressing it to be the sense of the senate
that congress should not adjourn until
bill had been passed relieving and
disseminating any duty Oh refined sugar
| which would operate Tor the benefit of
the sugar trust. He asked FOR the I'M
| mediate consideration of the resolution.
Mir. Manderson moved to amend the
| resolution so as TO instruct the finance
committee 10 report back the amount of
| profit 10 be derived by the whisky trust
| from the tariff bill now In the hands OF
| the president.
MIR. Sherman (Rep., o. took the floor
to indulge, as SAID, In some ''plain talk" +"
He reviewed the blunders made by the
Democrats in the general conduct of
the long tariff fight. The result of the
blunders in detail, Mr.. Sherman said,
was that from fifty to a hundred very
| important errors would be found in the
| bill as it would be signed by the presi-
dent. Already several of great i'm
/ portance had been discovered. One of
! them. that providing for the free entry
Of alcohol used in the arts, would, it
uncorrected, cost the government twenty
or thirty million of revenue annually.
Mr.. Hoar, the author of the amend
ment. Mr.. Sherman asserted, had not
expected that it would be accepted. lie
had simply offered it as a tentative
proposition. Mr.. Sherman quoted from
the record in support of this statement.
| He deprecated the contemp plated inter
| ference Of the president with congress,
! but he
Justified Carlisless Letter
as to the effect of the tariff bill on the
revenues. He stated that he would, if
offered opportunity, vote for straight
| duty on raw and refined sugar, without
| the differential. AS far as the other
| pOpgun bills were concerned, he was
| opposed TO placing iron ore, coal and
| barbed wire OH the free list.
Mr.. Gray. who followed Mr.. Sherman,
| thought that no matter what the result
of the coming election might be. there
would not be another Mckinley law.
| The people were tired of the scenes of
the past winter, which resulted from the
| Mckinley law.
Mr.. Platt (Rep., Conn., also submitted
some remarks, and at 2 O'Clock, the
expiration of the morning hour, the
resolution went over.
MIR. harris then called up the house
| bill to repeal the tax OH alcohol used In
the arts. He asked unanimous consent
to consider it, but Mr.. Chandler OBJ
lected. and moved to refer it to the
| finance committee. The motion was
J lost, IA to 25, no quorum voting. The
clerk then proceeded to call the roll.
1t showed that two more than a
quorum were present. 1t being ap.
parent that with this small margin nc
voting quorum could be obtained. Mr..
Harris moved that the senate go into
executive session.
After the passage of the bill for the
| relief of the Oklahoma settlers, the
senate at 2:25 went into executive ses-
sion.
