Washington, July 24.-Shortly be-
fore the senate adjourned today Allison,
in charge Of the tariff bill, made
strong effort to have a time fixed for
the final vote on the tariff conference
report. Failing in this, Allison gave
notice that the session tomorrow would
be protracted with view to securing
vote. 1t was the most definite move
ment made thus far toward bringing
the debate to close. Allison's first
proposition was for vote at 5 O'Clock
tomorrow, but this was objected to by
Pettus. Then he proposed vote some
time before adjournment tomorrow,
which was objected to by Morgan.
Finding that there was no disposition
to reach an agreement, Allison finally
gave notice that hereafter, while the
report was pending. the senate would
not adjourn at O'Clock without an aye
and no vote.
The debate on the report today was
participated in by Clinton, Jones Of Ar
kansas and Pettigrew in opposition,
while Aldrich took frequent occasions
to defend the report against the criti-
cism OF senators.

4 Tillman offered resolution to dis
charge the committee on contingent
expenses from further consideration of
the resolution for an investigation Of
alleged senatorial sugar speculation.
Before anything could be said, Jones
of Nevada, presented report from the
committee on the same resolution.
Tillman was quickly on his feet, ask
| ing that the report be read.
Gallinger objected, the presiding Off
Ger holding that single objection was
sufficient to prevent the reading. Till
man then moved that the report be
read. On viva voce vote the motion
was lost, and the resolution went to the
calendar.
1 Allison asked that the tariR confer
ence report be taken up, but was met
with several measures, which senators
desired to have hurried through in an
| ticipation of the adjournment of con-
gress. Without further delay the con-
sideration of the tariff report was
resumed.
Chiffon took the floor for speech
against the bill as whole. Concern
ing sugar, he said it was so cunningly
devised as to make it difficult to deter
mine the benefits conferred. The main
point was as to the loss suffered by the
people, and after calculation Chiffon
concluded that the sugar trust would
be enabled to charge the people one
cent a pound more for sugar than un-
der the present law. He said the agri-
cultural schedule also ought to be taken
as fraud" schedule, as it was de-
signed to be deceptive.
In connection with Chilton's discus
sion OF the agricultural schedule, Till
man was drawn into vehement argu-
ment on the benefit Of an export bounty
on agricultural products. The South
Carolina senator declared that the i'm
position of such bounty was the most
effective means of destroying the entire
protective system, for il the farmer got
one drop of blood in his mouth he
would want to Swallow the whole car
cass, and it would end in scramble,
overturning the whole system.
