FIGHTING FOR TIME.
Senator's Opposed to Mr.. McCord
Delaying His Confirmation.


An unsuccessful effort was made n the
Senate yesterday afternoon to call up
the nomination of MyTon II. McCord, to be
governor OF Arizona, upon which a favor
able report has been male to the Senate.
When the case was reached on the cx-
ecutive calendar, Chairman Shoupr OF the
Committee on Territories, asked that It's
consideration be proceeded with. There
was at once some opposition expressed by
certain Senators, who are antagonisric to
the confirmation OF Mr.. McCord. These
men were Senators Bate, Berry, Teller,
Chandler and White. These Senators
contended that there was no particular
necessity for having the case disposed Of
at this time and intimated that haste
might De made by letting it so over until
after the tariff bill was out of the way.
Senators Carter and Shoup called at
tention to the favorable report OF the
committee, and said it was necessary that
the Senate act, SO that the change In tile
administration Of affairs in the Terri tory
might take place In the course of this
discussion, in which a time when the
case should be considered was unsuccess-
fully sought to be fixed, the merits 0f
the case were briefly touched upon.
Senators Carter and Shoup defended
the nominee, and said the committee had
investigated ali the charges submitted To
the committee, and found them unfounded,
aud, in many cases, utterly lacking in
even the semblance of plausibility, much
less truth.
The committee had, they said, been
painstaking In the matter and the Senate
ought, as a matter OF simple justice to the
nominee, take the case up and dispose of
1t now II had dragged along through the
committee, delayed by persons who had
made charges that were not sustained, and
both these Senators believed that the
Senate ought row TO be able to act No
time was agreed to, however, and the hour
being late an adjournment was had without
further discussion.

Cord Il aat doubted by members of the

clusively, to his mind. 1t was time for
the Attorney General and United States
district attorneys 70 take cognizance OF
what the Sugar Trust w8s doing in re-
straint of trade; for 1T was true that
cOnsignors OF sugar had to sign a con-
tract that they would not sell below q
specified price.
Mr.. caffery read certificate required
to be signed by the dealer that he would
not sell below the daily quotations Of the
American Sugar Refining Company 1t
meant that il the dealers do not comply
they cannot receive any further supplies
from the company
Mr.. Allen got the debate back TO the
question OF hides He said that the dis
cussion arose from the fact that 1t was
claimed that q duty on hides should not
be imposed because their prices We're de-
termined by trust He, Mr.. Allen, tnen
attempted to show that 1t was not I'M
possible to dissolve the Beef Trust, or any
other. Mr.. Hoar, he continued, had not
successfully replied to the question raised
by him, chat there was enough law OH tile
statute books, and In common law prece-
dents, to successfully combat trusts. There
could be no question that the Beef Trust
violated the law when it set price in
Chicago to be enforced in Pennsylvania
town Mr.. Allen closed by saying that this
country was rotten from one end TO the
other with these trusts And here is Con-
gress, the highest branch Of the Cover n
ment of this nation, the highest legisll-
tive body. the judiciary, the executive, all
paralyzed, and impotent, and pOwerless TO
protect the people of the United States.
Mr. Mantle made the next argument in
favor OF the committee amendment. lie
moved an amendment including goat hides
on the dutiahle list Lost.
The vote was then taken en- the motion
TO substitute 20 per cent ad yaloIem IN
place OF the committee suggestion OF 1-2
cents per pound specific duty. II resulted
yeas 80, nays 90.
Mr.. Allison introduced a long amend
ment relating To manufactured feathers.
Mr.. Allison said that there was q slight
increase In the tariff on these articles.
In answer to a Quest'o oil from Senator
White, Mr.. Allison admitted that the in
increased duties were as a Compen satlon
for the 20 per cent ad valorem en- raw
hides. This was what had taken place In
the case or the Gotten duty. The increase
cent over the committees original amend
ment.
The vote was taken on the amendment
with the result of yeas 80, nays 10.
The paragraphs placing duties on gloves
were agreed to, with amendments rails
ing the duties generally on lined gloves.
Mr.. Gray protested against the increased
taxation on lined gloves, as they we're worn
SO largely by working people.
Mr.. Vest also pointed out that the prices
were put up on the lower grades.
Mr. Allison wanted to go on with the
section on watches, clocks, etc. 1t was
passed over.
Mr.. Allison then went back to the
skipped paragraph ON cattle, and intro
duccd a new paragraph which made, how
ever. only verbal changes.
Mr.. Vest made the remark that the sec
tion had only Que effect, to keep Mexican
and Canadian cattle out OF our market.
The amendment WAS agreed TO. The dis
cusson was here suspended for an ex-
ecutive session, after which the Senate
adjourned until today.

day, but Of late have been compelled
to leave off the coffee because it made
me throw up occasionally. 1 tried choco-
late, but that didn't fit the taste, neither

The market yesterday was contradictory
In a certain way. 1t is seldom that there
Is such a diversity OF movement in the va
rious parts of the market as that between
Sugar and Gas on the one hand and some
OF the stocks which showed a decline
during the day on the other. This variance
makes it more than usually difficult to find
reasons and to predict results. On the one
hand Sugar went up amazingly TO 12S and
Gas had almost as brilliant Il spurt. Sew
eral of the stocks remained practically
stationary and Others fell off quite con-
siderably from opening prices. Whatever
tue causes of this may be, it is a pleasure
to be on the right side, and L am conse-
quently happy in my consistent and per-
sistent bulling of Chicago Gas recently and
because my article of a week ago, pre-
dieting that Sugar was to have Just this
phenomenal spurt. 1t seems almost fool
hardy to suggest that Sugar aud Gas viii
coatinue on their upward course, but see
more reason for this belief than for any
other. The people who have given me
information about Sugar and Gas here
tofore are still buying both Of them-Gas for
