THE VOTE ON SUGAR,
1t Was the Absorbing Question at the
Capitol Today.

1t Was the Absorbing Question at the
Capitol Today.
The vote upon the sugar schedule was
the absorbing question of the day at the
Capitol. Before any vote was taken 1t
was generally conceded by the republicans
that the committee would be sustained,
though the vote would be close
The readiness with which the republicans
yielded yesterday to an agreement that a
vote on that schedule might be reached to-
day Is accepted generally as All indlcation
that the speed with which the bill is dis
posed Of depends almost solely now on the
vigor with which the democrats press for
action.
If the republicans could have done what
Aldrich and some others wanted, leaving
the democrats to furnish their own quorum
IL they insisted upon night sessions they
would rot have yielded so readily to a
vote on sugar today.
1t was too evident, however, that a num-
Der Of republicans would help keep a quo
and Il would have been useless and impolitlc
for a fragment Of the party to make the
fight.
The same situation is expected to devel-
op as each of the remaining schedules is
reached, but on this schedule the repub-
licans are stronger than on any of the
others. There Is no particular significance
In the reservation of the right to have the
yeas and nays on the sugar amendment at
the close of the fight on the bill. 1t merely
gives another chance to test the sentiment
of the Senate on the question at the last
minute, in case anything shall have been
developed meanwhile to weaken sugar.
