An Intense Feeling Prevails Yet
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The asperit ties
OF yesterdays debate in the Senate have
in no respect worn off with the night.
| possible, there is still more intense
feeling prevailing among Democratic
Senators, though active efforts to re-
store harmony and some approach to
unity OF action are in progress.
Senator Villas speech prefacing his
motion to recede from the Senate
amendment proposing diffefential
duty on refined sugar is withheld for
revision and does not appear in this
mornings Record.
This keeps out OF controversy for the
present whether such motion is in
order at this time, but he is quoted to-
r optr y, =
pose OF withdrawing his motion to
amend tho sugar schedule by striking
out tho one-eighth cant differential on
refined sugar.
Mr. German says there will be- no
Democratic caucus between this time
and the meeting OF the Senate Monday.

factory to the leaders OF the minority.
1t was agreed that if they had had the
arrangement OF things themselve they
could not have put the majority in 3
worse fix than that in which 1t Is now
found. For this reason 1t was decided,
as much as anything could be said to be
decided upon, that the Republicans
should let the Democrats settle their
own quarrel while they sat by and
watched the proceedings. This will be
the policy pursued Monday. and all the
Repu blcAns will have to say during the
debate will be in the nature OF the
questions intended TO irritate and widen
tho breach already existing.
