THE TAklEF BILL.

The Sugar Schedule and Income Tax
still Worrying tho sennte Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Feb. s.-The gu.
gar schedule is receiving moro attention
at present from the Democratic sub.
committee engaged on tho tariff bill
than any other feature OF tho bill.
The committee has not yet decided
upon any definite recommendation, and
the outlook Is not quite as bright for
the sugar men Us 1t was yesterday. Tho
chances aro still favorable, however, as
somc duty will be lowed. upon sugar.
Ono OF the members OF tho sub.commit-
toe said to-day that II 1t was possible to
retain FREQ sugar and still secure sui.
ticient revenue TO meet tho expenses OF
the government he would be in favor Of
letting the bill go without making any
change in tho schedule. .s
Tho income tax feature OF the bill Is
still giving tho committee considerable
uneasiness- but it has not so far received
ths> attention that the sugar schedule
has, 1t will in all probability be treated
largely as q matter OF expediency and
its retention, rejection or modification
will depend largely upon the prospect
Of passing tho bill with or without it.
Tho committee leans to tho retention
Of the tx, but shero is still considerable
apprehension II 1t is retained that 1t
may imperil the bill in tho senate.
A member OF subcommittee OF the
Democratic members Of tho senate COM
mittee. said to-day that the. tariff bill
would be reported to the majority mem. !.
bers OF tho full committee next week.
There is reason to believe that tho sub.
committee has agreed upon one cent
per pound on sugar. i2

A Hundred Shots from tho Forts Never
"Phnsod Her."
WAsnrHoToE, Feb. s.-Following is an
extract from a letter OF Captain Il. F.
Picking, dated January -, 1904:
"At9:l5 n. NJ, tho Aquidaban was
sighted, coming. not flying the admiral'a
flag. She was fired at by all tho forts
and stood toward and anchored near
the Tamadarc, returning the fire, but
only occasionally, with her large guns.
1t was u remarkable sight to SEQ this
vessel coming in boforo the forts and
batteries and seemingly without injury
at all. I hear from q good source
that she was struck twice. but without
material injury. Tho two men wcro
slightly wounded, sufficiently 80 to re-
quire their being sent to tho hospital"
AS near as can be counted the shots
fired ut tho Aquidaban aggregated 100,
in return to which the Aquidaban fired
% times. This is taken by naval ex.
ports to indicate that an armored ship
is practically exempt from harm from 4
shore battery.

\ WASHINGTON, D. G., Fob. S.-Thedead-
lock on Mr.. Blund's silver soignloragc
bill was broken after four hours OF con-
tinuous tllibuaterlng to-day whom by a
vote Of l7G to 4 tho house carried Mr..
Bland's motion OF going into committee
Of tho whole for the consideration OF
his bill. Tho eastern Democrats and
tho great mass Of Republicans made n
determined opposition but Mr.. Bland
was at Last victorious.
On the final vote 90 Republicans and
all tho Populists voted with him, while
% Democrats who woro present joined
with the remainder OF tho Republicans
{ In refusing to vote. It was thoroughly
understood that quito number Of the
4 Democrats who voted with Mr.. Bland
this afternoon were In favor OF certain
J notifications OF the bill, although they
{ would not carry their opposition to tho
+, extent OF voting against its considera.
: ton. Its also well known that Secre-
tary Carlisle and tho, administration
generally is opposed to tho bill in Its
1 present form. After the consideration
y OF the bill began, Mr.. Carlisle arrived
Z at tho capitol and had conference
with some OF tho loading Democrats
4 OF the house, as well as those
\ Democrats who were managing
Z the tilibuster,' and just before
y adjournment the announcement was
officially made on tho floor BY Mr.. Tra-
v cey that no further attempt to filibuq.
4 ter against the consideration OF tho bill
Sswouldibe made. This Is taken to mean
that compromise has been agreed
Eupon, and that certain concessions will
Abe made in line with the suggestions OF
aNIr. Carlisle, who, while ho is repre-
9ssented as not being against tho coinage
of the silver seigniorago in tho treasury,
yet insists that discretion ,ry power
bought to be lodged with thu secretary
n the treasury about issuing tho
seigniorage, either in the form
pi certificates, or OF coin, go that

sthe circulating medium OF the country.
He maintains that it would be as iniu-
rious to put out $50, 100000 suddenly rs
sit would bc to Withdraw thatrgmount
from tho circulating medium. Ho Is
also, opposed, 1t is understood, to tho
( second section OF the bill which makes
! mandatory the coinage OF the rest Of the
sbullion in tho treasury and the redcmp-
8 stion OF outstanding treasury notes under
y sthe act OF 1880 Us fast as tho coinage

WASHINGTON, D. O., Fob. s.-scnator
Sherman presented to tho senate to-day
for tho National Wool Growers Asso-
citation very bulky document. It re-
cites that IN attempt was mado to got
hearings before tho senate finance COM
mittee, and being denied, tho wool
growers take this method OF presenting
their case. The association represents
100000 flock masters, and about AS
100000 sheep, an invested capital OF
S5OO,00O,OOO and paying for labor 49,.
100000 annually.
1t Is asserted that tho present du,ies
In tho Wilson bill will ruin tho wool
industry; that It would alao extend to
other pursuits as well. Free wool, says
tho memorial, will impair tho ability OF
the government to maintain q ell tllcient
amount OF gold supply. Sheep hus.
bandry is in greater need OF protection
than any other industry and furnishes
moro omponsatinc benefits; tho exist
ing duties are revenue duties. 1t de-
clares that there is no burden in the
wool tariff.
There is q great mass OF statistics,
printed and in manuscript and clip.
pings from newspapers and letters from
people in every part Of tho country, in
substantiation OF the memorial. which
will be made patt Of tho printed docu-
ments. The memorial is divided into
chapters and is complete book upon
tho sheep and wool industry OF this
and other countries.
The wool growers concluded their
session in this city tonight after pre-
pairing an address to tho wool growers OF
tho country.
The address urges the continuance,
even under the now tariff law OF tho in.
forest OF tho wool growers in thcir in
dustry, the maintenance OF state and
county organization and tho preserva-
ton ol tlocks, especially the preserva-
tion OF owes, oven at temporary loss,
Is urged in order that The wool growing
industry may promptly recover under
subsequent laws should they be passed.

WAsHlNGroS, D. @, Feb. S.-Tho
i parliamentary battle over tho Bland sill
yer scigniorage bill was resumed imme-
diately after tho reading Of the journal
this morning. Mr.. Reed sought to
\ challenge the right OF tho house to pass
the resolution to arrest absentees,
4 which was carried Just before adj.
j iournment last night, on tho ground
& that tho last call OF the house showed n
quorum. yls5S
@ The question as TO whether quorum

preventative Reed moved to amend tho
journal go as to take this fact appear.
This motion was lost. Mr.. Bland then
renewed his motion OF yesterday to so
into committee of the whole.
Mr.. Reed forthwith took charge ot
4 the hlibuster. He made the point OF
order that the only thing in order was
( the report of the sergeant-at-nrms,
who. when the house adjourned last
night. was given warrants for tho nrrest
OF 1G4 members.
Tho speaker hold that tho order for
Z arrest was continuous one, and, until
fully executed, 1t was not the duty OF
tho sergeant-at-arms TO make report.
Ho stated a hypothetical case OF whore
I q single member, who was contuma.

having been made, tho whole house
& could not be held up until that arrest
was made. He overrulel tho point OF
order. sl
Mr.. Rcod thcn moved as aguestion Of
privilege that tho sergeant.at-arms be
: instructed 10 mako his report. This
being declared out OF order he shifted
y his ground and moved to reconsider tho
vote by which tho motion to arrest
Y absentees was passed. Ho expressed
that he did not believe 1t competent for
less than quorum to pass sach q reso-
luton. Tho speaker held that the mo-
i, ton to reconsider was in order, where
gFupon MIR. Bland moved to lay it on the
table. n This motion wns carried on a
Z rising vote. l2l to 6S. \
Mr. Reed demanded the aycs and
nays aud the roll was called. During

wise tho crisis in the United States
might have had full effect on India.
Tho measure now having passed the
American Congress, the reopening Of
