HOW ABOUT SUGAR STOCK?
Mr.. Lindsay asked Mr.. Allison how II
was. if the reiners received so little
benefit, that sugar stock had advanced
from 10 10 points. standing on Saturday
at 126 per cent.
Mr.. Allison replied that he was not to
| be drawn into the issue. He said the
serious question was to provide such du-
| ties as would keep the refining of su-
gars in this country, instead Of sending
it abroad
! Mr. Allen asked IL it was not possible
to frame sugar schedule which would
not confer some benefits to the sugar
| trust.
Was it wise. Mr.. Allison answered. TO
turn over the business of sugar refining
to other countries? II not, then a diff
| ferenial must be allowed our refiners 10
keep the business from being done
abroad. It was plain 10 him that unless
a duty was placed on sugar. as on iron
or chicory, or anything else, then sena-
tors might fold their arms on the pro-
lection principle, as no one could tell
how soon foreign capital and labor
would do the refining now done in this
country
Mr. Caffery again criticized the Sugar
Trust, pointing out tha; it needed no pro-
lection. according TO its own admissions.
Everywhere, he said. was felt the bane-
full influence OF the trust. 1t invades
the senate. and wherever 1t goes. it
blasts and shrivels and burns. 1t ought
to be put out of the domain of legislation
he asserted.
The bill was laid asidew ithout vote
on the pending Lindsay amendment.
and at $40 o'clock the senate held an
executive session, adjourning soon af-
ter.

to give the caucus full information AL
though there was much reticence observ-
ed, II was believed that the president
would be consulted tomorrow on the sub

The caucus was in session from until
11:30 o'c,ock, and three propositions only
were under consideration. These were:
The question OF what to do with the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty, the advisabili-
~ Of giving bounty on beet sugar, and
the question Of an antitrust amendment |
The Hawaiian treaty question was
passed over. but the sugar bounty propo-
sition was withdrawn, and the antitrust
