Shot at the Measure and

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The secondI
days action on the amendments Of thel
committee of the whole to the tariff
bill occupied the whole of yesterdays
session Of the senate. First came tho
motion made by Mr.. Mills on Monday
evening, to place burlaps and grain
bags made therefrom on the free list.
1t was carried by vote of 80 TO IL.
Next came the famous collars and
cuffs amendment, fixing the duty nnl
those articles at thirty cents per doz-
en- and 30 per cent ad valorem-equiv-
alent, according to a statement made
by Mr.. Chandler, to an ad valorem rate
OF from so to 1875 per cent. That amend
ment was agreed TO after couple OF
satirical speeches directed against tho
junior senator from New York, Mr..
Murphy, by Il vote of 48 to 8. Then the
great wool schedule came up for ae-
tion, Mr.. Sherman of5,ring an amend
ment to place wool on the dutiable list
at 80 per cent. ad valorem.
The longest discussion of the day
took place on this proposition-appeals
being made by republican senators to
democratic senators from the wool pro-
ducing states to supply even two votes
for the amendment, which would be
enough, with the populists votes, to
carry it. But these appeals fell on dear
ears. There was not single desertionl
from the democratic ranks on the ques-
tion of wool. The two populist sena-
tors who usually act with the demo-
crats-Messrs. Allen and Kyle-did mott
vote; and the amendment was defeated
yeas 80, nays 81. And so wool re-
mains on the free list.
The committee amendment placing
bituminous coal on the dutiable list az
forty cents u ton and coal slack at ffA
teen cents was agreed to by vote OF
81 to 9. The committee amendment
which had been originally offered by
Mr.. Hhl, eXempting the salaries of the
president of the United States and Oh
the judges of the United States from
the income tax was rejected after n
brief struggle by vote of yeas -,
nays 36-ten democrats having voted
for 1t and six republicans and three
populists against it.
The date for the bill to go into effect
was fixed as the lst of August, 1884,
subject to further postponement II nee
essary. Barbed wire was a subject Of
some dispute. An amendment had been
agreed to in committee Of the whole
that barbed wire for fencing should be
admitted free of duty. This amend
ment was rejected; and one offered by
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, to place wire
for fencing" on the free list was also
rejected-yeas 80, nays 3s And so wire
remains on the dutiable list at rates ae-
cording TO gauge. Mica was taken of
the free list and put ON the dutiable
list at 90 per cent. ad valorem.
At 10 p. m. there was an immense
concourse of spectators in the galleries
most of them ladies, and all waving
fans industriously, for the atmosphere
of the chamber washot and sweltering.
Senators evinced great impatience at
the unnecessary delay occasioned by
the offering Of amendments which had
no show OF being adopted, but which
occupied time in taking the yeas and
nays. There was much excitement as
to the result of the final vote.
The chairman of the house commit
tee on ways and means, Mr.. Wilson and
representatives McMillin and Springer,
We're interested spectators Of the pro-
cecdings and eager watchers for the
last struggle. At 1Op p. m. the bill was
read the third tirnc, and then Mr..
Smith, of New Jersey, rose and adj
dressed the senate. Mr.. Allen, of Ne
braska, announced that he would vote
for the passage Of the bill. not because
he approved Of the sugar schedule
(which was its vicious featured, but be
cause he thought it due 10 the country
that it should be passed and placed in
the hands of conference committee,
where it might be eliminated Of its
evil features and fashioned into a good
law
Mr.. Hill declared his continued an
tagonism to the bill He declared Il
was "a rag-baby production, crazy
quilt combination, splendid nothing
The close of his speech was applauded.
The calling of the roll on the finm
passage of the tariff bill began at 1925
and the vote resulted: Yeas 80, nays84.
Mr., Hill was the only democrat to VOTE
against the bill

lowing messengers on the part of the
