PETER WANTS ALL SUGAR MADE FREE.
Mr.. PETER moved to amend the amend
ment by provision that all sugar shall
be on the free list.
Mr.. Allison suggested that as in the
House bill sugar was on the free list, Mr..
Pener's object could be accomplished by
voting down the Jones amendment.
Mr. Hill preferred that the PETER
amendment should be allowed to stand, as
II brought up the plain, direct question
whether sugar should be on the free list
and he desired TO have vote upon it..
The vote was taken, and resulted-yeas
70, nays 81, as follows:
Yeas-Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Cameron,
Chandler, Cullom. Dolph. Dubois, Frye, Gal

SERIES OF AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. Allison moved to strike out of para
graph 1927 the words 'On and after Jan.

offered an amendment to carry out that

CHANDLER TRIES TO BE CUTTING.
Mr. Chandler began another speech

have got free barbed fence wire and free
lumber. The democrats have got the
popullsts. And the sugar trust has got

MIR Chandler was followed by Mr..
Aldrich, who began in this way: ut is

OF their existence is present and
known to every man in the
United States. If the senators on the
other side of the aisle could vote on this
sugar schedule according to their con-
science it would receive their almost uni
versal condemnation. Not over six sena-
tors on that side believe in the Justice or
equity of it. But influences, not known
to the organization of this chamber, have
demanded that certain provisions shall
be put in the statutes of the United
States, and the members Of a great party
cravenly submit to those demands" +"
Mr. Palmer replied with a show Of in
dignation, to the charges aimed at the
democratic Senators by Messrs Hale, AL
drich and Chandler, "the licensed theo-
rists of this body"
