Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-07-28


 leagues from the other end of the capitol rushed down the aislcs and congratulated them on the victory. The spectators in the galleries, rValiZing that the tension was over, drcw long breath and filed out. From the press gallery it looked as If the senate had adjourned.
 Mir. Harris vacated the chair to go down on the floor to shake hands with Mir. Jones and Mir. CockreIl of Missouri, to whom he resigned the gavcl, could not make himself heard above the din for fully three minutes
 After order was restored Mir. Quay of Pennsylvania secured recognition. He drew a huge pile of manuscript from his desk and said he desired to make some ob- scrvations on the metal schedule for the benefit of the confcrees.
 The prospect of another installmCnt of Mir Quay's speech appalled, the senate, and leave to print w;,s hurriCdly granted to him. The scustc then proceeded to consider ans pass some unobjcctionable bills on the calendar.
 The chair then rappointcd the con. fcrces - Messrs. Nuurhccs. Jones. Vest, Harris. sherman. Allison and Aldrich- and the senate adjourned until Monday.
 President sent For McMiIiin.
 \ messenger from the executive man. sion reached the housc of representatives half an hour after the senate had voted to send the tariff bill hack [" conference with u note for Representative NcMillin, tho ranking house Cnnfcrcc in the aIlsenCc uf MT. Wilson. asking him to call at the White House. This, following the con ference between the president and speaker Crisp earlier in the day, was taken to in dicate the solicitudc the president felt on ! the outcome of the second conference. Mir. McMillin declined to talk of his call on the president.
 Mcssrs. McMillin and Turner are the | only house Confcrecs in town but Speaker | Crisp has word that Chairman Wilson will be hcrc today. Tho Democratic con | ferces will hold an informal meeting to- l day, and senator Jones says that the full conference committee. including Rcpub- lican members, would probably bu called | together on Monday.
 The general impression about the sen- | ate Is that the conference now agreed on will not be as prolonged as the former | one was. Senators arc of tho opinion that the committee either will agrce on a re- port within two or three days after tho sittings begin or within that timc decide to report another disagreement. The pro | ponderancc of the opinion is, however, that there will not be another report of | disagreement. In fact, the Democratic conferces assert that another disagreement | means the defeat of tho bill.
 The indications all point to the prob ability that the sugar schedule again will be the principal point of contention, and that but for the differences on this point an agreement would be reached after a | very brief sitting.
 The Democratic members of the con ference went through the bill very care | fully during their former sitting and agreed on a vast majority of the items ir 1t, so that they will not need to consider these points again very fully.
 It is probable, however, that the Repub ican members of the committee will asl for an explanation for many changes, anC this action of course would have the effec of delaying the conference report.
 Senator Blanchard has an entirely new sugar proposition to submit to tho con ference, but it is not regarded as at al likely of adoption. In outlining his propC | sition Senator Blanchard said that in hi | opinion tho best way out of tho complica tion would be to continue tho bounty, al minishing it at the rate of one eight each year, and to add to the bounty thrcC | eighths of a cent duty on raw sugar an Gve-eighths of a cent duty on refined sug | ars.
 This" he said, would not incrcas the price of sugar to tho consumer an would yield to tho treasury from $12 oOO, ,OO0 to <l5, 0O0. 900 a year revenue enough to pay the bounty from tho stai with an ever increasing surplus eac year as the bounty diminishes in amount The differential on rufincd sugars woul be one-quarter of cent-the same as prt posed in the Wilson bill as reported fror | tho ways and means committee and onl half as much as under the existing NJ, Kinley law. would nisn,' he aHdos "ruturn the one. tenth discrimination dui against sugars imported from aeantsis paying an export bcuntyn
