AN AMENDMENT.
Senate Finance Committee Favors 40 Per
Cent. Flat on Sugar.


WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Har-
ris, from the finance committee, re-
ported back to the senate the free
sugar bill, amended so as to provide
duty of 40 per cent. fiat on all sugar.
The free coal bill was re-
ported back amended so as to
provide for reciprocal free coal.
The iron-ore bill was reported back
without amendment. The barbed
fencing wire bill was so amended as to
make barbed wire free, the house max
ing free only the material from which
it was made. The finance committee
decided to report these bills at its
morning meeting by a strict party
vote, Mr. White dem, Cal acting
with the committee for the first time.
In the senate Senator Aldrich called
attention to tho value of precipitate
action in behalf of tariff reform. The
house bill, he said, intended to give
the farmers free barbed wire, whereas
it really left barbed wire where it was
and gave the manufacturers of that
article free raw ma terial, thus enhanc-
ing the profits of the manufacturers
and not lowering the cost to the con
sumner one penny.
The free raw material bills went
to the calendar, where they can only
be called up by majority vote.

RIVER AND HAReOR BILL.
1t Becomes Law without the Presidents
Signature.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-The river and
harbor bill, carrying Sl1,479, $50, be-
came law at midnight Saturday night
without President Cleveland's sigma
ture, the legal limit of ten days hav-
ing expired within which he could
sign or veto it. 1t is the third time
since Mr.. Cleveland's two terms that a
river and harbor bill has become a law
without his approval, the only other
bill of this kind submitted to him hav-
ing been vetoed. Fears were expressed
mp to a late hour Saturday that
the present bill would be vetoed,
as Mr. Cleveland made it known
to the river and barbor managers
several months ago that he did not want
the total of the bill to exceed 100000
00O Aside from the amount carried
by the bill the sundry civil
appropriation bill also carries IS, 400.-
600 for river and harbor contracts,
making a total for this class of work
of $40, SIS. $50. This is about 81, 600, 600
less than the amount given for river
and harbor work for the first session
of the last congress. An important
feature of the new bill is that it au-
thorizes no new contracts.
