Section 20 (renumbered 14), repeating
those portions OF the law OF 1894 incon-
slstent with this bill was agreed to,
with a provlso offered by Mr.. Allison,
continuing In force sections 73 to 70, In
elusive, OF the law of 1894 known as the
antitrust sections. The house retroac-
tive clause, section a. was struck out.
This brought the senate to the end OF the
bill, and It's first reading throughout had
been actually accomplished. tt
Mr.. Bacon moved TO fix n duty OF 81
per ton on Manganese ore, hut withdrew
the motion on assurance that the entire
section would be considered in confer
ence The finance committee'B substi-
tute for the house provision In regard TO
coal tar was agreed TO-. The amendment
leaves the article on the free list.
Mr.. Allison presented the amendment
proposing a stamp tax on bonds, deben-
lures, certificates OF stock, etc. II Is n
stamp tax OF cents on every 500 OF de-
bentures, etc, and cents on every 800
OF transfer stock, etc, He modified this
so as TO except building association
stocks and bonds. and allowed the
amendment to 80 over. This brought the
session face to face with the pending
beet sugar bounty amendment.
Mr.. Jones favored the withdrawal OF
the sugar bounty amendment. After
the first reading Of the bill had been
completed, Mr.. Jones announced that.
In view Of the new amendment on sugar
bounties, the senate would be In session
n good long time" II could not be
passed without the fullest discussion.
The dog days were here and the weather
was intensely hot Therefore, Mr.. Jones
proceeded declsIvely, he thought II well
10 give up the carly daily meeting of the
session. and he thought Il desirable that
the senate now adjourn.
Mr.. Allison responded that he thought
the bill was to be passed to-day. In sur
prlsed tones Mr.. Jones answered that
such an idea was preposterous. With
this bounty question brought In, could 1t
be possible to expect the passage of the
bill this week or next week, or the week
after next? He was absolutely as
founded, he said, TO have this PROPOSE
ton brought In Mt the last moment. He
again expressed hope that ~ o'clock ses-
slons and an adjournment for to-day
would be agreed TO.
Mr.. Thurston, OF Nebraska, who had
been comforting with Mr.. Allison, took
the floor. He spoke of the part he had
taken In urging this beet sugar bounty,
and his earnest wish that 1t be incorpOr-
ated In the bill
"Rut recognize" he continued, that
the people OF this country are demand
Ing the immediate passage Of this tariff
bill. They are impatient that the rates
OF duty shall be so permanently estab-
llshed that the calculations of business
can be made. As one OF the prime
movers OF this proposition, l reluctantly
lin the discharge OF what believe to be
q patriotic duty-I reluctantly yield 10
threats Of the other side OF this chamber
to prolong this debate indefinitely, and
that tho wheels OF industry may begin
TO revOlve, that the smoke OF the chin
neys may arise, that the spindles may
begin to sling, withdraw this amend
ment."
Mr. Thurslon's announcement was
made with impressive effect and was
received with nwe-llke silence by sena-
tors and spectators,
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska, the colleague
OF Mr.. Thurston. took the floor and said
he had not been present when the
"threatsof filIbustering" had been madc.
% NJ faV
Ing" INTERCEPTED Mr.. Pettus, of Ala
bama.
II there had been such threats, pro-
ceeded Mr.. Allen, he thought he might
take hand "for few weeks or few
months" He earnestly supported the
bounty, and said he regarded II ne cow
ardly to abandon II,
"If my colleague wlthdraws II. then
will renew II" concluded Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Allison said that. In view of whnt
had occurred, he concurred In what the
Nebraska senator tThurston) had said,
that II was not best 10 Introduce any
question which might prolong the de-
bate He asked leave, therefore, to With
draw the bounty amendment.
Mr. Allen proposed the same amend
| ment. Mr.. Jones moved 10 table Mr..
| Aliens motion This had the effect Of
cutting off debate, and, as Mr.. Allen
showed evidence Of dlspleasurc. Mr.
Jones Withdrew HIS motion to table.
MIR Kyle, OF South Dakota, spoke In
favor Of the bounty, after which the
subject went over temporarily.
with Mr. Aliens motion renewing the
beet sugar amendment pending, an
amendment was unanimously adopted

playing cards 20 cents per pnck.
