TALK STILLON SUGAR
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Tillman Have
a Tilt During the Discussion.
ONE VOTE TAKEN DURING THE DAY.
Lindsay's Amendment IIas Been Rejected
Senator TilIman Submits a Report on
His Bill For the Amendment
of the Wilson Law.

Washington, June 15.-The senate ce-
pate on the sugar schedule Of the tariff
bill proceeded with only one diverting
incident TO relieve the monotony into
which the discussion has lapsed. This
was the sharp exchange between Mr..
Hoar Of Massachusetts and Mr.. Till
man Of South Carolina, representing
the two extremes Of senatorial pro-
cedure.
Mr.. Tillman again referred to pub
lished charges Of irregularity in con-
nection with the sugar schedule and as
serted that the senate would stand con-
victed before the American people If
it failed to investigate the charges. Mr..
Hoar calmly and impressively repelled
this statement, his tone and language
being calculated as a rebuke.
He declared that the vague charges
Of irregularity were not only prepos-
ferrous, but infamous. Mr.. Tillman re-
iterated that senators would stand con-
victed by the people if they sought to
hide behind the senatorial toga.
Allison Makes a Speech.
Mr.. Allison, in charge of the bill, made
another speech in defense of the sched-
ule, presenting tables which he declared
proved that the Sugar refners received
less protection under the senate sched-
ule than under the existing law. Mr..
Pettigrew of South Dakota spoke at
length in favor of his amendment to
place on the free list articles controlled
by trusts, severely arralsning the va
rious large trusts Mr.. Allen of Ne
braska urged legal procedure against
the trusts. Only one roll call occurred
during the day on Mr.. Lindsay s
amendment to place all sugars on the
same basis. This was rejected-26 to
29-Mr McEnery of Louisiana voting
with the Republicans in the negative
and Senators Pettigrew and Mantle
with the Democrats in the affirmative.
Senator Tillman from the committee
on interstate commerce has submitted
report on his bill for the amendment
Of the Wilson law concerning the com.
merce In liquor between the states His
bill is intended to legalize the Soutf
Carolina system, and the report jus
made says its enactment in view of tn,
recent decision Of Judge Simonton il
necessary TO protect the state from thu
evils of intemperance.
The report also says: IF the state o.
South Carolina is to be flooded. as 4
will be- by liquors under the pretex
that they are for private use. when il
fact they are for sale without analysis
1t is readily seen what obstacles ar
thrown in the way Of state control"
The conclusion is drawn that no rem
edy is left for restricting intemper
ance except prohibition. and that. tn
report adds, is a pronounced failure.
