WOOL SCHEDULE
Likely to Cause Ways and Means
Republicans Much Trouble'''-Con'
ficting Interests.

Washington, March 10.-The Repub-
lican members of the Ways and Means
Committee to-day finished the sugar
schedule and took up the wooden sched-
ule. The differential was fixed at one
eighth of a cent pound on sugar above
Is Dutch standard This was thought
to be a sufficient allowance to cover the
difference between the cost of refining
in the United States and other coun-
tries where sugar is free.
The wool schedule promises to be
the most difficult which the committee
has to fix on account Of the conflict Of
interests between the growers and
manufacturers. The Wool Growers
Association has asked for duties much
larger than those in the Mckinley law.
After the wool schedule, parts of the
pottery schedule and the free list and
some administrative featres of the bill
only remain to be settled.
