Washington, June 1.-THE session O.,
the senate was marked by quite lively
| discussions, the main point at issue being
the time alleged by Mr.. Vest to be con
| sumed by the Republicans. Although the
senate was operating under the five
minute rule, the Republicans did not find
it difficult to discuss each paragraph and
each amendment as long as they desired
and the debate which followed the first
paragraph taken up was condemned by
the Democrats in severe terms. 1t wa,
asserted that the Republicans were abus
ing the good faith of the agreement
However, during the day considerable
progress was made on the bill. The ag
ricultural schedule, which has been hang
ing fire for several days, was tnall!
disposed of, and schedule II Spirits
wines and liquors) was entered upon
The feature of the consideration of tn
bill was the withdrawal in many in
stances of the Jones compromise amend
ments, allowing the committee amend
ments of the original house provisions t
| stand.
1t is expected in both sides of the ser
ate chamber that the wooden schedul
will be reached during the present wee
in the consideration of the tariff bill
This schedule will develop one of tn
most important debates connected wit
the bill. Next to the duty on sugar, FIRE
wool has attracted more attention tina
any other item in the BILL and there ca
be no doubt that many Republican SCI
ators will make speeches vigorously a.
, sailing the Democratic position.
The house was busy with District {
Columbia business.
