against the amendment and Mr.. Quay

voted for free sugar. Messrs Kyle end
majority Of the democrats against it,.
Had all the republicans and Populists
and two disaffected democrats j9ined
hands, sugar, raw and refined, would
have gone on the free list. On oil other
ameodment offered by the republicans,
tbs majority against them ranged from
: 3 to 10
The adoption OF the sugar schedule
practically insures the passage of the
bill at an early date, although 1T is in
timsted the republicans will make
final stand on the sugar schedule when
| it is reported and cons ered ia the
senate. AS adopted today the schedule
imposes duty of forty per cent ad-
v8lOrum on all sugars, raw aud refined,
with differen tal OF the eighth of q
cent per pound an sugar ABOVE sixteen
| Dutch standard and an additional one
tenth of cent against sugar imported
| from countries paying an export bounty.
| 1t continues the Hawaiian treaty, sd-
Knitting sugars from Sandwich islands
| free of duty and places duty of two
cents gallon of molasses testing above
| forty degrees by polariscope. The sched-
ule goes into effect January /, 1895, and
the bounty is continued.
WASHINGTON, June 6. The support
ers of the bill for the advancement of
New Mexico and Oaklahoma statehood
have not lost courage. Several times
during the course of the present ses-
sion two statehood bills have been on
| the eve of rece wing consideration from
the house, but each time they were
side tracked by more important legis-
lation or party misunderstanding.
Bills for the admission OF Utah and
Arizona were passed by the house at
its early session, but has since beer
hung up in the senate. An attempt
WAS made at the same time by the
republicans to secure an agreement
for consideration of the New Mexico
and Oklahoma bills together, but
Speaker Crisp told Delegate Flynn
that a point order would be an order
against such an arrangement and that
being undoubtedly the case, the at
tempt was abandoned. The speaker
has assured General Wheeler, chair
man of the committee on territories
that the bill to admit New Mexico can
secure a hearing after the Iodian ap-
preparation bill which comes up this
week. The Oklahoma bill will follow
that of New Mexico unless unforeseen
circumstances arise to delay one or the
other. New Mexico is democratic and
il admitted will add two to the demo-
cratic majority in the senate, but
Oklahoma is republican. so the sue
cess of the bill for the admission Of the
latter territory is very doubtful.
Moreover, t'.ere has been much dis
agreement in Oklahoma over the de-
tails of the statehood plan, which has
been complicated by the opposition of
the Indian tribes to it. The republi-
cans feared if the New Mexico bill
passed, other legislation would be
pressed forward to displace Oklahoma,
ton TO secure consideration of the
case of Oklahoma first.
