Trust Beet sugar INDUSTRIES.
The Senate got down to tariff talk very
early today. Senators were slow in as
semhling. on account of the Republican
caucus.
Mr. Perkins presented memorials of
Grangers Of California. some protesting
against and others advocating tie abroga-
tion OF the Hawaiian treaty. Senators
Eikinh and Morrill, presented petitions
praying for the speedy passage of the tariff
After these came a freshet OF bills OF
neither local nor general interest.
Senator Allen introduced a resolution
seeking TO establish equality as 20 ZEN
St0ns as bei ween officers and men IN the
Army and Navy.
MI Uallipger said il was an important
matter and ought TO go to tie Committee
on Pensions
Mir Alien said that he did not desire to
have the matter buried, and wanted an
expression OF opinion from Senators.
Senator Galhnger gave notice that he
would speak on the resolution when it came
up.
The tariff debate was then resumed and
the Amendment of Mr.. Jones was taken
up.
Mr.. Vest began toy saying thatthe answer
of AIR. Allison t. tie charge that the
caucus amendment had not increased the
profit TO the trust was an insult toordinary
Intelligence The Senator from Iowa
said he believed there was an increase CT
-
pat On m the shape OF export bounty was
included in the estimate, but leaving that
out there was no increase.

Mr. ONnard was quoted as saying that
the taking off of the bounty would ''as-

Vest sad that perhaps the country did not
know what was going on. Senators even
might bc lost in the forest. They might be
obliged 10 ring their fog-hell hut there
was one class OF men who always know

Ar MyiHery, whose speech has been
lookci forward to with some interest began
witt attention ftom both sides of the cham
Der. He al the Wa through defended o.
ten>bly his position on the vote un the

One Of the first things. he sad, that

There had evidently been a desire to SO

b. McEncry then launched out INTO p
savage attack on the American Cotton Com
pany greater monopoly than the Sugar
Trust, intended TO control the balinc of All
thecotinp OF the south He hoped thatthere
would be Legislation 10 check this trust
before the session closed 1t was the duty
OFT senate to strike a blow at this enor-
NOUS growing trust and power
The attack On the American Cotton Com
pany is said to have been inspired bv the
allegation that its head is John Searles.
the secretary OF the sugar trust 1t was
stated that it is tie plan Of the company TO
get ENDORSEMENTS Of its patent for haling
from boards Of trade in the coun-
Try, and also from the other
side OF the water. Another allegation |
is that, IL there can be secured an al,ar- |

which Ia occupiedin 1894. The great ques-

expenditures could be decreased There
