Immediately after Senator Petit
crews antitrust amendment to the
tariff bill was laid on the table today
he gave notice of another amendment
of the same character in the shape of a
proviso. as follows: ''That none of the
increased rates of duty provided for in
this act shall apply TO any articles or
commodities, the sale or manufacture of
which is controlled by trusts in this
country"
Senator Chiffon of Texas also offered
an amendment, as follows: "If any
manufacturer dealer, coiner or other
person, knowing that any article or arti-
cles of like character upon which duties
are levied under this act are manufac-
tured or the sale controlled, or their
y,rio off tod +r,1c l.
shall send or transmit any such articles
from one state to another such manu-
facturer, dealer or coiner shall upon con-
viction before any circuit court of the
United States be punished by impris-
onment for not more than three years"
Senator Pascoe gave notice of an
amendment which differed from Senator
Pettigrew's original amendment only in
detail, principally as to the means of
preceding in court to determine the ex-
istence of a trust
One of the resolutions requires the
court to determine whether a trust
proved to exist affects the raw material
or improved article. In case the jury
finds an article TO be the subject of a
trust the secretary of the interior is TO
make an order directing the customs
officers to permit such admission free of
duty.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Repub-
lican caucus last night determined not to
incorporate in the tariff bill the amend
ment proposed by Senator Spooner to
postpone the time when certain features
of the sugar schedule should go into eff
c mo he
passed, with the intention of compelling
the sugar trust to dispose of surplus
sugar that has been imported pending
the consideration of the tariff bill. at
rate which would not allow it any great
profit. The position taken by the large
majority Of Republican Senators was
that it would be impracticable to have
the various portions of the bill go into
effect a different times. If action is
taken on sugar it would have TO be taken
on WOOL and other items. The argument
was advanced that in changing the tar
iff no provision could be made against
the advantage taken by buyers of for
eign goods. If the tariff is to be reduced
importations would be held back; ard if
the tariff is TO be raised, importa tions
would rush in. This is notably true Of
ouSdI anu an olltF SOOGS, ana the call-
Gus decided that there was no way of
reaching importers, and that no single
article should be selected upon which to
postpone the effect of the new tariff.
The defeat of Senator Spooner's, promo
sition was not accomplished until there
had been a hard fight. The Western
men are arrayed against the East. and
Senator Spooner had several sharp tilts
with Senators representing States where
there is a great deal of manufacturing.
1t IS said that the greatest opposition TO
the proposed amendment is because
manufacturers feared that it might be
extended to wool and that they would
not be able to realize on large mporta-
tions of free wool made in anticipat ton
of the tariff. Spooner's motion was voted
down Is to u.
