engaged in exciting insWTection and
revolution in Hawaii and that it is our

Democratic applauseD
Mr. BOuteIIe protested that the chair
had no right to place such construc-
tion on his statement, but the speaker
declined to listen to him.
Most of the republicans. however, de-
clined TO vote, and 1t was fully ten min
utes before democratic quorum could
be procured. The tariff debate was then
resumed under an agreement to extend
the time Of the sugar debate until AIS.
Mr.. Price Of Louisiana asserted that
the duty had been changed to bounty
against the protests of Louisiana. Abo-
lition Of the bounty now would crush
the industry, which should not be treat
ed more harshly than other industries.
Slr. Dockery withdrew his amendment
and Mr. Harter Of Ohio offered a sub
stitute to abolish the bounty and impose
q duty Of 1 cent a pound
Gear, the newly elected Iowa senator

make the reduction of the bounty begin

curred upon amendment offered by
Mr.. Price to amend Mr.. Harter's substi-
