Sugar Schedule as Revised.
Washington, July 2.-With to-days

a new phase of parliamentary procedure.
TTp to this time the bill has been pending
in committee of the whole, where bills re
ceive their first rough dressing; but now
# is before the Senate proper
There is little if any difference in
the forms, except that, as a
general thing, the amendments of
least Importance as adopted by the COM
mittee of the whole are agreed to in bulk
bv the Senate. the more important being
reserved for special action, and being also
open to debate and to the presentation of
other amendments. Two resolutions
bearing on the present extensive railroad
strike, were presented in the Senate dur
ing the morning hour and were laid
m the table for the present-to
be called up tomorrow. The first
was offered by Mr. Call of Florida
for the appointment of committee of
five senators to inquire and report the
cause of the existing strike of the rail-
road and Pullman car employees, and the
Justice of the demands Of the working
men, and to report such legislation as
NAV secure justice to the workingmen
and be reasonable and fair to their en-
Movers and secure the tranSportations of
the mails, freight and passengers with
out interruption.
The second was offered by Mr.. Kyle
pop. of South Dakota. 1t is in the form
of a Joint resolution. and is as follows:
That no warrant or other process
civil or criminal, shall be issued by any
United States commissioner or out of any
circuit or district court of the United

the alleged obstruction of any railroad
train or trains, unless it shall appear that
such person or persons has INSTRUCTED or
hindered such train in such manner as to
interfere with the safe and convenient
movement of the part of such train or
trans as is essential in the safe and con
venient transportation of the mails of the
United States. and the detachment of
pullman or other parlor or sleeping
coaches from any railroad train or trains
shall not constitute any ofense against
the laws of the United States.
THE TARIFF TAKEN Up.
At 1920 a. m. the tariff bill was taken
up and various propositions We're made
and discussed in an informal way as to the
mode procedure. Ultimately it was agreed
that the amendments to which there was
no special objection should be voted on in
bulk. Then Senators indicated amend
ments on which they desired special
votes. Mr.. Sherman asked that the en-
tire wool and wooden schedule be re-
served and Mr.. McLaurin demanded a
separate vote on the amend
ment excluding the salaries of
the President and United States
judges from the income tax. Separate
votes were demanded by Mr. Hale on the
lumber schedule; by Mr.. Kyle on the SUI
gar schedule; by Mr.. Gallinger as to hay 4;
by Mr.. Chandler as to the date on which
the Dill is to go into effect also as to bo-
raX, lead, iron ore. barbed wire, lead ore,
rice. brandy and spirits, wine, silk and
silk goods the income tax and reciproc-
ity When he had finished giving these
notices. Mr.. Frye suggested humorOusly
whether 1t was not easier TO reserve the
whole bill.
For some time there was so much con-
fusion in the Senate chamber that the
Vice President said that no attempt at
transacting business would be made until
order was restored.
The provision as to paper was reserved
by Mr. Platt
Mr., Jones, for the finance committee re-
served the several dates mentioned for
the Dill to go into effect; also as to glass
ware, plate glass, nuts. laces, waste wool,
ready-made clothing, ingram carpets, etc
Then the residue of the unreserved
amendments adopted in committee of the
whole were concurred in bulk and the
amendments as reserved by Mr. Jones
were all agreed to seriatim, except those
as to dates which are still open.

ments reserved by other Senators was
entered upon, and the action of the com
mlttee OF the whole was confirmed until
