SUGAR SCHEDULE COMPLETED.
ANTITRUST Amendment Defeated and
Three Others PresenIad.

L
Washington, June 16.-The senate
made great stride forward yesterday
by completing the consideration of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill, except
the provision relating to Hawaii, which
went over. This schedule has been
the storm center of the entire bill, and
with it disposed of there Is better pros
pect for speedy action on the bill as
whole. AS agreed to, the schedule
places on sugar not above No. -,
Dutch standard. / cent per pound and
.O3 of cent. for every degree above
rs; and on sugars above No. 16 Dutch
standard 1.95 cents per pound. But on
sugar testing below rs degrees by the
polariscope l. cent per pound shall be
deducted. The other provisions of the
schedule relate to maple sugar, maple
syrup, candy, etc.
Only one yea and nay vote was taken
during the day, on the amendment of
Mr.. Lindsay, of Kentucky, to make
the rate 1.S cent per pound on sugar
above No. 16 Dutch standard. The
amendment was defeated, 81 to 35.
The Pettigrew amendment relating
to trusts was then taken up and dis
cussed at length 1t developed con-
siderable divergences of view on both
sides of the chamber, the two Ala
bama senators, Messrs. Morgan and
Pettus, Joining Mr.. Hoar in opposition.
Mr.. Allison finally tested the sense of
the senate by moving to table the
amendment, which motion prevailed
by vote of 35 to go, two Democrats,
Morgan and McEnery voting with the
Republicans to table, and thus turn
ing the scale against the amendment.
Three other antitrust amendments

tors Pettigrew, Chiffon and Pasco

ALL EXONERATED.
No Charges Against Militia or Onicials
at Urbnna, o.


Urbana, o., June 16.-Coroner Hewitt
rendered the following verdict late last
night on the death of Harry Bell, who
was killed when the first attack was
made on the county jail on the night
| before the lynching of "Click" MITCHELL:
81 do find that the deceased came to
his death from a wound in the head
produced by rifle ball fired by q
member of Company D, Third regi-
ment, acting under orders from the
raptain of said company, and while at
tempting to defend the county Jail and
prevent a crowd of people there as
sembled from doing violence to the
prisoner.
Il fail to find any failure or neglect
on the part of the governor, Asa s.
Bushnell, to promptly respond to any
request made to him or the sheriff,
Lewis II. McLain, for troops to assist
him In defending said Jail or protect
ing said prisoner. And 1 do not find
any failure on the part of Lewis II.
McLain to use all means at his hands
for the protection of said Jail or said
prisoner.
Il further find that Mayor c. H. Gan
son directed the police force of the city
to do all in their power to preserve or
der, and he did not in any way attempt
to usurp the power Of the sheriff, or in
any manner claim to represent him in
discharging his duty, and that his con-
duet on that occasion was wholly di-
rected toward preventing any violence
to the prisoner by the persons there
assembled and any further killing of
the people by the militia"
A similar verdict was rendered as to
the death of Upton Baker.

Shipping Alcohol to Japan.

San Francisco, June 16--Alcohol is
now being shipped to Japan under cir
cumstances which promise that the
American article will be able to come
into profitable competition with the
German product. The latter has al
most a monopoly Of the trade as with
the advantages of an export bounty 1t
has been laid down at rates that could
not be met by the makers of Ameri-
can corn spirits. Recently, however,
reduced transportation rates have been
obtained, making it possible to ship
alcohol to Yokohama from Peoria at
profit. 1t is expected the trade will
amount to millions annually. Four
carloads have already been sent.
