FeeI.us-The First Evidence of Serious
Republican Disasreem ent-- Senator Caz-
ter Takes Hand.
An exciting debate marked the con.
sideration Of the wool schedule in sha
! United States Senate On Tuesday. 1t
developed the first open disagreement
on the Republican side OF the cham
Der and led to q warm personal ex-
change between Senator'S Carter OF
Montana and Foraker Of Ohio, On the
one hand and Mr. Allison OF Iowa in
charge Of the bill, on the o.ker. Aside
from this stormy Interruption, fair
progress was made on the schedule
The duty on first class wool was
agreed to at 10 cents per pound and
Oh second class wool II cents, which
| is between the house and senate rates
| in each case. The rates On third class
woods went over most OF the other
amendments relating to the classical
ton Of wcols. On ono Of the amend-
ments Mr.. Jones CT Arkansas spoke
against the entire schedule SIS severely
Oppressive On tie consumers CT wool
en- goods
AS soon as tie wool schedule was
taken up Mr. Mantle OF Montana sub
rnitIod substitute for paragraphs 347
to 3t1, Inclusive. covering the three
classes Of wool ard the rates thereon
Mr.. McLauriu OF South Carolina
gave Iotica Of a further ameudD,en!
providing q horizontal reduction Of
80 per cent or tbs rates reported by

provisions relatiGg to the classes Of
wool up TO paragraph 355 On the
latter paragraph, the committee
amendments were struck out at the
request of Mr.. Allison. They refer0
red to skirted woods imported II 1S9
ard prior thereto.
This brought the senate to the rates
on the three classes Of wool. On the
first class the house rate was II cents
per pound, ccmmittee rate CT S cents
per pound. Mr.. Allison moved TO
Substitute 10 cents per pound. Ol
second class wool the house rate was
l2 cents. Mr.. Allison moved to SUB
stitute 9 cents per pound.
MIR. Mills OF Texas demanded sep.
arate vote on each proposition, and
the FIRST vote was taken On Mr.. Ali.
sson's motion to make the rate 10 cents
per pound on first class wool. There
was some question as to the form Of
| the motion, whether it should be 10
reduce the house rate from II to 10
cantS or increase the CONN! !ttee rate
rom 10 10 cents. Tue former was
/ the form OF the motion which being
! reduction secured an unexpectedly
| heavy alternative vote. The motion
to reduce from II to 10 cents prevail
ed, yeas So, nays 13. The announce
men1 was the signal for an urexOect
ed outours: on tae Republican side OF
the chamber.
! NJ. Carter Reg of Montana arose
| and speaking deliberately and inpres
Isively, said the vote jast given dis
closed purDose to make reductions
| in the rates on wool. There would be
la day OF reckoning for such action
| In view Of what had been done, ne
Easked that the consideration Of the
! wool schs duie be now suspended.
! This declaration, coming from Re-
publican senator, caused mild sensa-
| ton, which was but the prelude to
dramatic scene in which Mr.. Foraker
and Mr. Allison, representing the f.
! nance committee, participated.
Mr. Carter alluded to comoina
!! ton" 10 reduce rates, which, he said,
would hear more aoout the matter be-
ore the agreement was reached.
| Mr.. Foraker, with great positlveness
IN his tones, said he had supposed
there was an agreement as to the man
ner of dealing with this wool sched
ule. Unless this agreement was res
pocted then, declared Mr. Foraker We
q i1ently, every senator must act for
himself.
Every senator appears to have act,
ed for himself, " answered Mr.. Allison.

aker, dedantly. He added that there
was an agreement IN writing and not
iuntil he had entered the chamber to-
day did he know OF the changes which
were contemplated,
and I do not propose" corcluded

Mr.. Allison, still preserving his out
ward calm, said there vas 10 written
