REDUCTION OF ONE GENT PER POUND.
The wool schedule was taken up by the
senate today. The first contest came
over a motion to reduce the rate on first.
class wool from II to 10 cents per pound
1t was carried by a vote of 55 to 13
This result was followed by mild SEN
satiou on the Republican side. Senator
Garter said the vote disclosed a purpose
to reduce the wool rates and served
notice that day of reckoning would
come, wien the combination would care
more for the matter. He suggested the
postponement of action on the wool
rates. Senator Foraker vehemently rein
forced Senator Carter's remarks and an
nounced that unless the agreement he
supposed had been reached on wool was
respected, every senator must act for
himself. Senator Allison endeavored to
smoth over matters and mildly re-
sented the suggestion OF com
bination. He intimated willingness to
postpone the disputed rates, but with
rising temper said; "Senators are not tc
be driven and the senate is not a good
place to drive" Sand that is why

"Nor will l" came in Senator Allison,
flushing and showing great feeling. II
there had not been an insinuation OF

postponement of all paragraphs open to
to the question, but with the senate
thrown into condition of excitement he
did not propose to submit to threats
"Therefore," said Senator Allison passion
ately, II am not to be driven by threats
from anybody. We are told we are In {

not vote for the bill. I am for the bill
and expect to vote for it, and do no
wish to be charged, as member OF thu
finance committee, directly or indirectly
with dealing with this question in a GOV
ert way" Senator Foraker had Remained
on his feet, and with biting scorn replied
to Senator Allison: "If anybody is ex
oited," he said, 1--WE have, to look about tn
chamber and see who the excited person
are" He proceeded to show that entirel
new features had been proposed on tn
wool schedules, vhich the senators had no
had an opportunity to examine.
Senator Quay came in to inquire wha
the agreement was to which Foraker ha
referred. The Ohio senator said the agree
ment was informal, but Mr.. Quay was in
formed as to it, having been invited to at
tend the meeting when the senators met t.
consider what could be done toward al
agreement on certain features of the woo
schedule. Subsequently the result ha
been laid before the finance committee
"In fact, you were present and a party 8
