date effect instead of in 1895. was adopt

without division, also an amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Jones (Which he said had

provision to continue the Hawaiian treaty
in force. 1t cost the people of the United

with no reciprocal benefit to them.
After debate Mr.. Harris got the floor
and moved TO lay the amendment on the
table. Mr. Hoar attempted, by motion
to indefinitely postpone, TO prevent Mr..
Harris from cutting OIL debate, but Mr..
Jarvis. the new senator from North Caro-
lima. who was in the chair. put and de-
cided motions with a swiftness and firm
ness that fairly took the breath away
from the senate. and IN about a minute
a motion to adjourn and an appeal from
a decision of the chair were pending.
A parliamentary wrangle was breeding
when Mr.. Harris relented, Withdrew his
motion and allowed the debate to pro-
coed
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Dolph both op-
posed the amendment. 1t was lost-11 TO
81. Those who voted in favor Of it were
Allen, Blanchard, Caffery, George, Hans
brough. Hill. Irby. Henderson. Mills.

Mr. Jones gave notice of a committee
amendment. which will be offered and
acted on tomorrow, in the shape of pro-
viso to be added to sec. 1872. repeating the
bounty prOviso of the Mckinley laws
and to continue in force the bounty I'M
Ill Jan. l. 1895, to the extent of nine
tenths of cent on sugar testing 80 de-
grees by the pOlariscOpe, and eight-tenths
on sugars testing not less than so de-
grees.
Mr.. Allen at this juncture offered his
substitute for the sugar schedule making
sugar below so degrees dutiable at 1 cent
per pound, between so and 80 degrees
one-tenth of a cent additional for every
degree above So 2 cents on molasses be-
low Sc and cents above &C. The sufHtitute
also abrogated the Hawaiian treaty and
continued the bounty in force until Jan.
l. 1895, at 2.64 cents per pound.
Mr.. Allen thought the substitute would
eliminate the vicious features of the
sugar schedule. 1t would make the duty
specific in the interest of the sugar
grower, would remove the discrimination
in favor of the sugar trust and abrogate
the treaty.
1t was lost-2 to 50. Mr.. PETER and
Mr.. Kyle were the only senators who sup
ported it,

Quay and Henderson GepD against it.

rate on extract of meat from 10 per cent.
to % per cent; lost Mr.. Lodge moved
to increase the duty on cotton damask
from 35 per cent. to 40 per cent. ad
valorem; lost.
Bv a vote of 81 to q the committee
amendments striking cotton batting from
the dutiahle list and transferring it TO
the free list, was agreed to.
Mr.. Mills moved to transfer burlaps
from the dutiable list, thus putting in the
same category with cotton bagging. This
gave Mr. Chandler chance to deliver a
satirical remark about Mr.. MillS's great
rally for free trade toward the end of
the bill after getting dutiable coal and
dutiable everything else. Before a vote
was taken on Mr.. Mills's motion, Mr..
Harris at 1885 moved that the session
take recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
