But Refuses to Allow a Second Reading MT. Hill to
 the Front.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l4-- The senate had
 early notification today of the passage by
 the house last evening of four bills placing
 on the free list sugar, bituminous coal,
 iron ore and barbed wire. As soon as the
 reading of yesterdays journal was finished
 message announcing the passage of those
 bills and making no reference 10 the tariff
 bill was delivered by the chief clerk of the
 house. Subsequently the bills were laid
 before the senate, one after another read first time and went over until tomorrow
 on an objection by MT. Manderson to their
 second reading.
 MT. Vest indicated desire to have them
 taken up at once for consideration, but that
 was prevented by MT. Manderson's objec. ton. In connection with those bills
 notice was given by MT. Hill that he would offer an amendment to each of them, re-
 pealing all provisions of law in regard to
 an income tax. An objection to the third
 reading Of the house joint resolution ex
 tending the general appropriation to the
 Ath of August was made by Mir. Aldrich, morrow.

 ito be known as the sugar trust tariff bill.'
 ''Lat that lie over," said MT. Cockrell.
 ''ls that the title of the bill," asked Mir.
 Vest in belicose tones, tor does the sen
 ator give it that title bimself?''
 ''Of course,' MT. Hale replied, "it is
 not the regular title of the bill, but it IS
 the iii Ia xuhiah if in acceptance. Public sentiment will settle
 that.''
 ''I question the right of the senator from Maine to say what will be the popular ac- ceptance of the bill. He has no right to give it such an appelation. It is an out rage to do so.'
 Mir. Mills-I move to lay the resolution on the table, and let us have the yeas and nays upon it.
 The vice -president-The present consid- eration of the resolution having been ob- jected to, it goes over under the rule. 1t IS not before the senate for consideration at this time.
 The vice. president laid before the senate
 the house bill putting coal on the free list. MT. Manderson asked that the bill be read at length, and when it was so read he objected to it's second reading. MT. Vest rose to parliamentary in- qulry, con fessiug that he was not very ac- curate as 10 the rule, Of the senate. He
 
 objection carried the bill over uutil tomor- row. Was 1t in order, he asked, to move, notwithstanding that objection, that the senate proceed to the consideration of that measure? ICries of "ohl'' from the repub- lican side of the chamber. .'I submit the inqairy,' said Mr. Vest. The vice. president-Ihe chair thinks the motion would not be in order. MT. Vest-I desire to make that motion if possible.
 x,,o his ruling is the correct one," replied the presiding officer.
