WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Wilson

OF amendments 10 which IT has
been subjected the last few weeks
The additional days OF debate next
week will be given exclusively to the in
come tax The committee has sustained
defeat on two main items, sugar and the
date OF inaugurating the free wool sched-
ule.
On the other hand the committee has
won successive contests on iron ore, steel
rails, coal, tin plate, agricultural
products. cotton, salt, lumber
and all the other great staples
OF coal, iron ore, etc, but the movements
have never commanded enough votes to
defeat Mr.. Wilson and change his bill.
OF the two material alterations-suga
and wool-that on sugar is OF far-reaching
consequence. The radical anti-sugar men
succeeded in doing away with the bounty
at single stroke, and had refined sugar
as we'll as raw placed on the free list.
The wool amendment changes the bill
so that free raw wool and reduced duties
on manufactured woolens go into effect as
soon as the tariff bill becomes law, in
stead OF toward the end OF the year.
