: Washington. June 4.-Thc senate to-
cay resumed consideration Of the sugar
schedule, and se'eral speeches were made
for and against the tariff bill. The dis
crssion has already proceeded for the
utmost time that Democratic senators
would admit before the debate was begun
would be neccssa- 20 reach verdict
today Or tomorrow, while others assert
that there are contingencies which may
pCstLcne the disposition of the schedule
rEG- the latter part of the week. Among
other lires of policy which have been
considered among the opponents Of the
bill is that of allowing the sugar schedule
to be accepted as amended by the com
mittee on finance without taking any
veto OIL the schedule in committee of the
whole, the object being that the OBJ
pcnents of the bill shall not he forced to
show their hands at this time, and espc-
cially that they may refrain from eX-
hibiting their supposed strength among
Democrats and Populist senator's. Scn-
ator Harris adheres to his determination
10 ask the senate to prolong its daily
sessions into the evening, beginning with
to-day.
The state bank tax bill was under dis
cussion by. the house to-day. The ques-
tion has been debated until the leaders
are anxious for Il vote. But the debate
has shown the state bank men that they
are liable TO be defeated by inability to
agree on any one Of the many plans dis.
cussed. As the state bank principle was
incorporated in the Democratic national
platform the leaders are 10th to see the
bill defeated, SO that caucus to-day or
tomorrow may be culled for the pur-
ne Co.. ,,,,1o
which will command united support. 1t
will be taken early in the week unless
the whole question is allowed to go over
until q caucus committee can frame o
satisfactory bill.
Washington, Jinc s. - In the senate
Mr.. West spoke in favor of the tariff
Till. Mr.. Allison Ncp., Iowa. followed
Mr. Vest with an elaborate speech on the
sugar schedule. 1t was. he said, by far
the most important provision of the bill.
1t afforded one-third of the revenue pro-
duoed by the bill. Mr.. Allison declared
that according to numerous authorities
sugar could be refined cheaper here
than in Germany and some other Eu-
ropean countries. The schedule practi-
cally would rehbit the importation of
refined sugars. 1t was not schedule
for protection. but for prohibition. MIR.
Jones Dem.) followed with detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the sugar schedule. After
some sparrins Mr.. Harris succeeded in
affecting an arrangement by which all
the amendments 10 the sugar schedule
she uld be voted OIL tomorrow. In &C.
cordpnce with the notice he served last
Saturday he stated that unless some
agreement could be reached for facili-
tating the disposition of the measure. he
would be compelled to ask the senate to
sit longer and later. He asked that
unanimous consent be given to vote on
all the sugar amendments at all early
hour tomorrow. Mr.. Hoar suggested
that it was too much to ask the senate
to vote without debate OH nll the alnehd-
mcnts offered to the sugar schedule. He
suggested that vote be taken OIL the
amendments to the bounty paragraph ut
! o'clock, and that then the debate OH
the other amendments be under the ten
minute rule with the understanding that
the entire schedule be disposed of TO-
morrow. This was finally agreed to.
