All the Compromise Amendments to
Be Ready Tomorrow,
FIGHT OVER THE WOOLEN SCHEDULE
Republican Senators Said to Have
Been Consulted.
MUCH FEELING ENGENDERED

The compromise amendments to the tariff
bill are expected to be ready to submit to
the Senate tomorrow. or possibly late this
afterLcon. They were sent to the printing
Office today. 1t was reported this
afterr con that the Few wcolen schedule
proposed had been rejected. and that the
schedule would stand as In the Wilson bill.
The manufacturers are still struggling to
get increases.
Much Feeling Engendered.
There is a great deal of feeling being en-
gendered by the discussion Of this schedule.
1t Is an open secret that republican Sena-
tors rather than democrats were consulted
by the men who have been getting up the
bon promise. Most Of the democrats are
Solently opposed to any increase in the
duty on woolens. and many are extremely
angry that the proposition should be con-
sidered at all The fact that no votes are to
be gained by an increase of these duties
seems to most Of the democrats to deprive
the compromise committee" Of any valid
excuse for making the changes asked.
This Is about the only thing there Is any
serious trouble over, and IL Is hard to tell
what may come out OF IL.
Hill VIII Vote Against the Bill.
All efforts to influence Hill in favor Of the
bill are understood to have been abandoned.
and there is no doubt entertained that he
win vote against the measure.
The proposed amendments are expected
TO be acted upon by the finance committee
tomorrow, which is their regular meeting
day. There will be a hot fight there over
the wooden schedule. and IL may be that
no matter what majority Of the democrats
of the committee want some will vote with
the republicans in favor of the increased
duties Mr.. Aldrich (republican) is said to
be having a great deal to do with the work
on the proposed compromise
The Sugar bounty.
Representative Breckinridge Of Arkansas,
Of the committee on ways and means, today
introduced resolution paving the way for
a repeal Of the bounty and the tariff on
sugar. by making the repeal an amendment
to the executive. judicial and legislative ap-
preparation bill. The resolution Is as fol-
lows:
Resolved. That the committee on rules Is
hereby instructed to report rule making
1t in order to amend any general appropria-
tton bill, so as to reduce or repeal the
bounty and the tariff on sugar. or either OF
them"
Mr.. Breckinridges resolution is intro
duced with the distinct and avowed purpose
to offset the action OF the Senate In putting
= duty on sugar Mr, breckenridge says
that the radical nature OF the recent de-
mand Of two cents per pound on sugar
from Louisiana has induced those interest
ed in consistent revenue reform 10 intro
dCce the resolution for repeal OF the sugar
duties and bounties by an amendment to
an appropriation bill. The legislative, cx-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill has
not yet been reported. but will be finished
the latter part of this week. Under the
rules of the House an amendment relative
70 the tariff would not be germane. 1t Is
to overcome this rule that the resolution Of
today instructs the rules committee TO
frame a new rule permitting a tariff rider
TO an appropriation bill
