The Important Feature of the Tarifr Bill Indorsed and the Passage of the BiII
 Practically Assured-A 4o Per Cent Ad
 vaIorem Duly to He Imposed
 WASHINGTON, June 6.-The compromise amendments to the sugar schedule were all adopted in the senate, and the pivotal schedule on which the fate of the tariff measure depended went through without change.
 On the vital amendment to place all sugars on the free list the Democratic line was drawn, Mir. Hill voting in favor of it and Mir. Irby of South Carolina being paired the same way But the Republic ans were unable to held their own forces intact, Messrs. Manderson and Perkins voting against the amendment and Mir. Quay being paired against 1t, while Mir. sherman, who NIas present, did not vote at all.
 Only one of thf Fopulists-Mr. Peffer- voted for free sugar. Messrs. Kyle and Allen in the final issue joined with the majority of Democrats against 1t. Had the Republicans, with the thr,e Populists and the two dissatisfied remocrats, joined hands, sugar, raw and refined, would have gone on the free list. On all the other amendments offered by the Republicans the majority against them ranged from 9 to 10.
 The adoption of the sugar schedule prac- tically insures the passage of the bill at an early date, although it is intimated that the Republicans will make final stand on the sugar schedule when the bill is re- ported and considered in the senate.
 A 40 Per Cent Duty.
 As adopted, the sugar schedule imposes a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugars, raw and refined, with differcn- tial of an eighth of a cent per pound on sugars above No. Is Dutch standard, and an additional tenth of cent against sug- ars imported from countries paying an export bounty. 1t continues the Hawaii an treaty admitting sugars from the Sand wich Islands free of duty, and 1t places a duty of cents per gallon on molasses test ing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. The schedule goes into effect Jan. 1, 1895, and the bounty is continued until that date.
 When Nr. Peffer offered the amendment to place all- sugars on the free list, Mir. Hill asked if this would precipitate the d. rect question as to whether sugar should go on the free list or not, and being in- formed that 1t would he said he hoped a  There was considerable excitement when the vote was taken.
 Mir. Hill voted in favor of free sugar and announced that he was authorized to say that Mir. Irby, who was absent, would have voted for free suf ar had he lean pres ept. The amendment was lost by 26 to 87, as follows:
