Washington. June 1.-THE session of
the senate was marked by quite lively
discussions, the lluin point ut issue being
the time alleged by Mr.. Vest to be con-
suincd by the Republicans. Although the
senate was operating under the five
minute rule, the Republicans did not find
it difficult to discuss each paragraph and
each amendment us long as they desired,
and the debate which followed the first
paragraph taken up was condemned by
the Democrats in severe terms. 1t was
asserted that the Republicans were ubus-
ing the good faith Of the agreement.
However, during the day considerable
progress was made OIL the bill The ag-
riGutural schedule, which lias been hang
ing fire for several days. was finally
disposed Of, and schedule II (spirits,
wines and liluors) was entered upon.
The feature Of the consideration of the
bill was the withdrawal in many ill.,
stances Of the Jones compromise amend
lnents. allowing the committee amend
ments of the original house provisions to
stand.
1t is expected in both sides Of the SEN
ate chamber that the woolen schedule
will BE- reached during the present week
in the consideration of the tariff bill.
This schedule will develop one Of the
most important debates connected with
the bill. Next to the duty on sugar, free
wool has attracted more attention than
any other item in the bill. ard there can
b. no doubt that many Republican sen
ators will make speeches vigorously as
sailing the Democratic position.
The house was busy with District of
Columbia business.
