TARIFF ON COTTON.
The Senate Places the Raw Product on
 the Dutiable List.

Washington. June 9.-By the decisive vote Of 42 to 1y the senate has adopted an amendment to the tariff bill plac- ing raw cotton, the great product of the south, on the dutiable list at 20 per cent ad valorem. It is the first time in the history of tariff legislation that duty on cotton has been incorporated in a bill. The amendment was pro- posed by MT. Bacon (Dem.) of Georgia on his individual responsibility and without the approval of the finance committee, which thus far has been requisite to the success of every amend ment except minor one, which went through by default.
 The amendment led to a spirited de- bate, Democratic senators disclosing a wide difference of views and at times exchanging sharp personal criticisms. On the final vote six Democrats-Bacon and Clay of Georgia. McEnery of Louis jana, McLaurin and Tillman of South Carolina and Rawlins of Utah-voted with the Republicans for the Bacon amendment while the negative vote was solidly Democratic with one ex- ception-Kyle (Pop).

Republicans Caucus on Sugar.

Washington, June 9.-The caucus of Republican senators by a nearly unani- nous vote decided to accept the sugar schedule in the house bill, with an amendment making the differential in favor of refined sugar one-fifth of a cent a pound. It was also decided to make the rate 10 per cent less on sug- ars testing below S7 degrees,
 The senators present. on motion of Mir. Quay, pledged themselves by roll call to stand by the sugar schedule and also to stand by every amendment pro- posed by the finance committee.
 It was agreed that this was the only means by which the traiff bill could be brought to a vote promptly. There are conflicting views on many schedules, but all are to be reconciled. amicably If possible and by caucus if necessary. The next formal caucus will probably be over the tobacco schedule.
