Soon Be Passed.

Washington. June G.-The compromise
m eLdments tc the sugar schedule We're
adopted in the senate and the pivotal
schedule on which the fate Of the tariff
measure depended went through with
cut change On the vital amendment to
place all sugars on the free list, the.
Democratic line was drawn, Mr.. Hill
On. W voting in favor of it and Mr..
Hby IS. c. being paired the same way.
But the Republicans We're unable to hold
their own forces, Messrs Henderson
anc Perkins voting against the amend
nent and Mr.. Quay being paired against
it while Mr.. Sherman, who was pres
ent, did not vote at all. Only one of
the Populists, Mr.. PETER, voted for free
sugar, Messrs: Kyle and Allen in the
final issue joining with the majority Of
Democrats against it. Had all the Re
publicans with tie three Populists and
the two disaffected Democrats joined
hands sugar, raw and refined, would
have gone on the free list. On all the
other amendments offered by the Repub-
leans the majority against them ranged
from 3 to 10. The adoption of the sugar
schedule practically insures the passage
of the bill at an early date, although it
is intimated that the Republicans will
make a final stand on the sugar schedule
when the bill is reported and considered
in the senate.
AS adopted to-day the schedule i'm
poses a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem
on all sugars, raw and refined with a
differential Of 1-Sc per pound on sugars
above 1G Dutch Standard, and an addi-
tional tenth of a cent against sugars i'm
ported from countries paying an export
bounty. 1t continues the Hawaiian
treaty, admitting sugars from the Sand
witch islands free of duty, and places a
duty of 2 cents per gallon on molasses
testing above 40 degrees, by the polaris-
cope. The schedule goes into. effect Jan.
l, 1895, and the bounty is continued I'M
til that date.
