A VOTE on SUGAR.

When paragraph Gal. sugars" was
reached Wednesday it was expected that
some debate would occur, but none took
place. Mr.. Aldrich merely demanded a
yea and nay vote on the finance commit
tee amendment to strike this paragraph
from the free list, where il was placed by
the house. The committee amendment
carried by 33-22, the republicans, except
Quay, voting solidly against and the
democrats for IL. Mr.. PETER pop, KAN
voted with the republicans and Messrs.
Kyle and Allen (pops.) with the demo-
Gratis.
The announcements Of Senators A lien
and Kyle. after voting TO strike sugar
out OF the free list, that they did so
merely to hasten the progress OF the tar
III bill, and not because they are in favor
Of the proposition, caused decided sem
sation, and was accepted TO mean that
when the final test comes both of these
gentlemen will vote against the sugar
duty. 1t is absolutely certain that Sem
ator Allen will do so, on his experience
as member OF the scandal committee il
there were no other reason. He declares
that the sugar schedule was conceived
in sin and born in iniquity," and that he
considers II his duty TO do everything he
possibly can TO strike IL out Of the bill.
1t is now pretty certain that Hill and
Irby will vote against the sugar schedule
also.

will become fertile homes for thousands.
The consideration Of the question has

PROBABLE CHANGE IN SUGAR SCHEDULE

PROBABLE CHANGE IN SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Some of the most sanguine of the
strong free trade element in the house
are now declaring that the house sugar
schedule will ultimately be accepted |;
that raw sugar will be put on the free
list; refined sugar given a differential Of
quarter OF cent pound and the
bounties continued a reduced and re-
ducing rate for eight years or so. This
is possibly going a little too far. but it
would not be at all extraordi nary II the
present rate of 40 per cent on raw sugars
were retained, the differential To the re-
finers reduced TO one sixteenth Of a cent,
the discriminating duty of one tenth of a
cent against the bounty sugar countries
dropped entirely, and the producers of
this country given bounty Of eight
tenths of ono cent until Jan. to COM
penSate them for the difference between
the two cent bounty under the Mckinley
law and the 40 per cent ad valorem duty
uuder the new bill. In any event the
duties are certain TO become operative
on the passage of the bill.
