tanned.
The point of order against the sugar
bounty amendment was then submitted to
the Senate, and by a decisive vote the
amendment was held to be in order-Ayes
40, noes 16. The full vote was as follows: :
Ayes-Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Blackburn,
Blanchard Burrows, Butler, Gallery. Call,

Noes-Barrv, Bate Brice, Cockrell, German,
Harris, Jones of Arkansas, McLaurin, Mills,
Powers, Pugh, Teller, Turpie, Vest, Voorhees,,
Wolcott-16.
This was test of the strength of the
sugar bounty, and its adoption became
against it, however. McLaurin opposed
the bounty law as unconstitutional and
therefore void as law or a contract with
the sugar producers.
McLaurin offered an amendment that
the sugar bounty be paid in silver coin to
be coined from silver seigniorage now in
the treasury. Blackburn made point of
order that the McLaurin amendment was
not germane and the residing officer sus-
tanned the point.
German spoke theoretically against the
bounty amendment. ItwouId be most I'M
fortunate, he said, to have this great sum
attached to the sundry civil bill He had
voted for the bounty when the tariff ques-
ton was up. But Congress had decreed
against the bounty and now it was not
here on its merits as a bounty, but as a
claim.
Wolcott offered an amendment directing
the purchase of four million ounces of
silver monthly for the next eight months
and its coinage into standard silver dol
lars. By a vote of Is to so the amendment
was declared out of order. The vote was
not significant on silver lines. Those in
the affirmative were: Bates, Brice, Cam
eron, Clark, Hansbrough, McLaurin, Mills,
Mantel PETER, Pettigrew, Teller, Walsh,
Wolcott.
Mitchell of Oregon offered another
amendment to the bounty proposition for
the payment of a 5 per cent bounty per
pound to American wool growers for losses
sustained by placing wool on the free list.
He supported the sugar bounty, but the
same equities would give the wool-growers
compensation for their great losses, their
industry having been destroyed by the
tariff law. The amendment was ruled out
of order.
Pettigrew said the sugar men were no
more entitled to compensation than were
others injured by the Wilson tariff Iegisla-
ton. The Louisiana claim was a premium
on impudence," the Louisiana Senators
had helped break down the prospective
tariff and ruin Northern industries, and
now came in as strong protectionists for
their own people.
Hoar moved to strike out the eight
tenths cent bounty for sugar made from
sugar cane. He said the beet-sugar inter
ests was entitled to the bounty, but the
cane interests of Louisiana were not, as the
Senators had voted against the sugar
bounty on the final vote in the Senate
when single vote would have retained
the bounty. Louisiana had herself abol-
ished the bounty by her votes in the Sen
ate, and she should not complain of this
abolition now.
The Hoar amendment was defeated on a
viva voce vote. The final vote was then
taken. The question was divided, the vote
being upon the proposition for bounty on
sugar produced prior to the passage of the
tariff act and it was agreed to-ayes 46,
noes 20.
The full vote was as follows:..

Blanchard, Gallery, Camden, Cameron, Carey,

Then, at $40 o'clock, the Senate took a
recess until o'clock.
When the Senate convened in evening
session an agreement was made after some
discussion by which the roll was called and
as each Senator's name was called he had
the privilege to name the bill to be consid-
cred. Bills were then passed as follows
Granting to the State of Kansas the aban-
doned Fort Hayes military reservation for
an agricultural college and normal insti-
tute; to grant the Gainesville, McAllister
and St Louis Railway Company the right
OF way to build two branch lines through
the Indian Territory; granting to railway
companies in the Indian Territory addi-
tional powers to secure right OF way, depot
grounds, ETC., and to protect the insignia
and name of the Red Cross.
There was spirited controversy when
Hill of New York objected to bill urged
by Gallinger of New Hampshire as to a
