WASHINGTON, May 29.-The senate dis.
posed of seven paragraphs of the metal
schedule yesterday, after eight hours of
debate. The debate was marked by quite
a number of interesting clashes between
the Republicans and Democrats. The
sensational feature of the day was caused.

Jones of an amendment substituting this
Mckinley bill classification and specific
rates on round iron coils, blooms and char

surprise to some senators on both sides,
although evidently anticipated by Mr..
Quay and few others of his colleagues-
Mr.. Hale tried to use it as text for
taunting the Democratic side, and Mr..
Teller read him very plain lecture on
the duty of the Republicans to accept
such increases as the Democrats wers
willing to grant without continually child
Ing their adversaries with inconsistencies.ss

speeches. The amendment was adopted,
by vote of 109 to II. amid great Demo
cratic applause and Republican cries Of
'spoils." No other amendments of any
Importance were made in the bill, the
only ones adopted being to correct the to-
tails of few amendments to which
amendments were made on Monday. In
