mise amendments Of the sugar schedule
were all adopted in the Senate to-day,
and the pivotal schedule on which the
fate Of the tariff measure depended,
went through without change. On the
vital amendment to plaes all sugars on
the free list, the Democratic line was
drawn, Mr.. Hill, New York, voting in
favor OF it, and Mr.. Irby, South
Carolina, being paired the same
way. But the Republicans we're una
Bile 20 hold their own forces intact
Messrs. Manderson and Perkins voting
against the amendment and Mr.. Quay
being paired against it, while Mr.. Sher-
man, who was present, 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 againn
it. Had all the Republicans with the
three Populists and the two dis
affected Democrats Joined hands
sugar, raw and refined, would have
GONE on THE FREE LIST.
Ou all other amendments offered by the
Republicans the majority against them
ranged from 8 20 10. The adoption OF
the sugar schedule practically insures
the passage of the bill at an early date,
although it is intimated that the Re-
publicans will make final stand on the
sugar schedule when she 0lll reported
and considered In the Senate.
As adopted to-day the schedule i'm
poses a duty Of 40 per cent. ad valOrsm
on all sugars raw and refined, with a
diFerentiaI Of Oue-eighth OF q cent per
pound on sugars above l6 Dutch Stand
ard, aud an additional one-tenth OF
cent against sugars imported from cOuU-
tries paying an export bounty. lt con-
Jinues the Hawaiian treaty admitting
sugars from the Sandwich Islands free
or duty and places two cents per gallon
on mOlasSes testing above forty degrees
by the polarisCOpe. The schedule goes
in-o effect January l., 1895, and tns
bounty is continued until that date.
THE M'KINLEY BILL AND SUGAR.
Mr.. Aidrcb, a,uding TO statements
made 10 the Senate yesterday regarding
she alleged influence Of the sugar trust
IN the framing of the Mckinley bill,
said that while there was a sugar trust
TO 1890 it was not the gigantic concern
lt-is now aud speculation in It's shares
was mparativelY trivial.
Mr. Vest retOrJed that in three weeks,
then, the shares went up 35 points.
There were then" he said, "the same
lies, the same fa.siicatiOas, the same
attacks on public men as have charaC-
terised the consideration Of the pending
bill"
Mr.. Sherman Insisted that the trust
OF $50 was not the trust Of to-day.
do you know what the capital of the
Sugar Trust Of 1890 wasY' asked Mr..
Brice.
''l no not, replied Mr.. Sherman.
"It was $4,000, 90, ," said Mr. Brlce.
The stock Of that corporation went up
from f3 20 G5. The stock advanced
$50 100000, in virtue OF
THE ACTION OF YOUR COMMITTEE"
Between what periods did this Auc-
tuation ocCur?" asked Mr.. Aldrich.
Between May and October" replied
Mr.. Brice empbatically, adding as ne
turned on his heer, after the represen-
tatiyeS OF the Sugar Trust had made
their agreement, with those who con-
tr0iled the bill
Mr. Aldrich protested that he did not
understand that the Senator from Ohio
meant by the agreement existing be-
tween the Sugar Trust and those 10
power TO 1890, but he did know that the
Sugar Trust had dictated the sugar
schedule in the present bill.
&"WhO dictated the sixty cent protec-
tion in the Mckinley bill?" inquired Mr..
Vest passionately.
'NO one"
The sugar trust said Mr.. Vest,
''and
YOU YOURSELF ADMITTED 1T.
In the record you said YOU could not re-
sist the arguments Of the Philadelphis
sugar re6ners."
To the midst Of thiN interesting and
rather sensational dtp,ts, in which
crimination and recr alton passed,
the hour Of one O'CLOCK wed, and un-
der the agreement tho was taken
on Mr.. Jones' amend fixing jan
nary /. 1895, as the da which the
repeal OF the sugar boL ,hOuld go
into effect.
The amendment was /adc &sd. Mr..
Hill did not vote and Mr. Pc u voted
with the Republicans. Allen ~ Kyle
voted with the Democrats.
