JONES STANDS OUT
The senate finance committee failed to
meet today Notwithstanding the instruction
of yesterdays caucus because it was dis
covered that Senator Jones of Nevada
would not act with tie Republican mem-
bers of the committee in reporting the bill
without an amendment providing for a
duty on sugar. The Republicans of the
committee are in the minority without Mr..
Jones.
He takes the position that as the people
of the Pacific coast are largely interested
in the beet sugar industry, any tariff bill
passed should provide for the protection of
this interest If he maintains this position
and the Republican caucus does not re-
verse its instructions it will be necessary
to report the bill adversely if at all.

today by the officers of the bureau of en-
gineers before the senate committee on

emergency it would take at least year, if
the appropriation was made, to procure the
material. manufacture the torpedoes and
put them in place at The principal ports of
the Uni ed States. The chief OF engineers
advocated the expenditure of SIP 100000
during the fiscal year ending June 80,
1897. This sum would not provide the
money NECESSARY to be expended by the
ordnance bureau for guns and gun car
rlA9es. but would cover the cost Of en-
placements for guns and OF torpedoes.
