POPULIsT SENATOR'S CONFER.
They Decide To Oppose, IL Is Said,
Any Duty on Raw Sugar.

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-The populist
senator's had an important conference
in the presidents room at the capitol, the
particulars of which have been surrounded
by great secrecy. The conference was
held to consider the position which should
be taken regarding the sugar schedule
when the tariff bill is reported to the SEN
ate and vote is taken on the sugar
amendment
There was free discussion of the sub
ject, and il is said that as a result of the
conference, not only will the populists op-
pose any proposition looking TO a duty on
raw sugar or differential duty favoring
the trust, but that their colleagues in ne
house will take similar action when the
bill comes before that body.
1t is not known that the populists in
either branch of congress will vote against
the tariff bill if the duty be retained upon
sugar, hut that they will oppose that feat
ure Of the bill as it now stands in the
senate seems to be very clearly assured.

WAsHINGToN, June 2i-Mr. Covert, OF
New York, the chairman OF the house com
mittee on patents, will at once report IA
vorably the bill To punish the pirating Of

stands there is no practical way OF punish
ing these offenses The purpose OF the
Covert bill is To remedy these defects The
bill has been championed by Bronson
Howard OF New York and other gentlemen
equally well-known In the dramatic world.
IL has the cordial support OF the majority
OF the patent committee and Speaker Crisp
has promised Mr.. Covert that day shall
be given To him during the present session
in which the bill may be considered. The
opponents Of the measure base their objec-
tion upon the ground that it is not advis-
able To add 10 the catalogue Of crimes in
the federal aud state courts Mr.. Covert
believes that this argument will not innu-
ence the house To any extent, and No far as
he can see, the bill is likely To meet the
approval of "A majority OF the members and

''rhe offer of certain o, the New York
