 AND DEMOCRATS ARE IN POWER
Continued from First Pase)

 charge as the gentleman repeats either in Democratic caucus or elsewhere" The Republicans aplauded this state ment and both MT. Underwood and MT. Payne sat down.
 MT. Grow of Pennsylvania argued that the amendment was not germane because sugar was not mentioned in the original bill.
 Mir. Richardson, the Democratic leader, contended that the amendment was in order. He thought Speaker Blaine's de- cision was conclusive. As MT. Richard son concluded the Democrats cried vote, vote." but several Republicans, including MT. Grosvenor MT. Olmstead and MT. Lacey were on their feet clamoring for recognition. MT Sherman of New York, who was in the chair recognized MT Grosvenor, who called attention to the fact that Blaine, great as he was, as parliamentarian, had been overruled re- peatedly, especially with regard to his proposition that one could lead a horse to water but could not make him drink, the question of counting a quorum.
 MT. Lacey of Iowa urged his fellow Re- publicans not to play into the hands of the Democrats who had bound themselves by caucus action last night to try to open up the whole question of tariff re- duction.
 Would Show Them Up.
 MT. DeArmond of Missouri suggested that the chair should submit the point of order % the house. Whether the chair rules this amendment is in order or not" said he, i've will at least find out who are for the sugar trust and who are against it.''
 "As an ex-member from New York said on a memorable occasion" suggested MT. Olmstead of Pennsylvania, what is the constitution between friends?" Qaughter).
 ''Oh, mo-" retorted Mir DeArmond. '"The question Is how powerful Is a poor little rule when the issue is between the sugar trust and the American people," (Applause)
 Mir Morris of Minnesota agreed with MT. Grow that the word sugar was not In the bill. but said sugar was all over 1t. He said that as the bill increased the differential on sugars from Cuba H cents a hundred pounds. it was proper that the House should reduce the differential on sugars from the remainder of the world.
 MT. Sherman of New York, who was in the chair, sustained the point of order.
 MT. Tawney appealed from the decision of the chair. The whole Democratic side arose en masses and watched the Repub licans to see how many would decline to vote with their colleagues. Not a Dem ocrat voted to sustain the chair. The Louisiana delegation was the first to go through in opposition to the chairs rul- ing, then trooping down a side aisle came the Republican recalcitrants, 27 strong. The Dem ocrats cheered as they went through. When the announcement was made that the chair had been overruled, 130 to I'll. the Democrats and the Repub- lican insurgents cheered.
 Payne Addresses Republicans.
 Amid profound silence MT. rayne ad- dressed his Republican colleagues. He if side. The opposition on his side he said. claimed to be friendly to the beet sugar industry. The amendment was a propo- sition to reduce the duty on sugar from beet sugar countries. He warned those friends of beet sugar that he proposed to show his friendship for beet sugar by vot- ing against the amendment
 MT. Mcclellan, New York offered an amendment to the amendment to reduce still further by 20 per cent the whole sugar schedule oI the Dingley law and MT. De Armond offered another amend ment to strike out the language of the Morris amendment which limited its op- eration to the period covered by the recip- rocity agreement. Both were voted down on the Morris amendment, which was adopted amid Democratic cheers by a vote of 184 to Ill. The majority was so over- whelming that MT. Payne did not de- mand tellers.
 Roberts Causes Surprise.
 The next surprise came from the Re- publican side when MT. Roberts of Mas sachusetts offered an amendment to place hides on the free list. The chair sus- tained a point of order against 1t, and when MT. Roberts appealed, many Demo- crats and practically all the Republicans voted to sustain the chair, and the chair was sustained, 1S3 to 70.
 Mir. Roberts then modified his amend ment so as to make 1t apply only to hides from Cuba, and as modified 1t was held to be in order But on a direct vote it was defeated. 120 to 136.
 MT. Mcclellan then moved to increase the reciprocal concession from 20 to 40 per cent. Two Republicans - Parker of New Jersey and Tompkins of New York voted for the amendment and the Louisi- ana Democrats and several other Demo- crats-eleven in all-voted against it. It was defeated, 102 to 162.
 MT. Richardson of Tennessee then of- fered the Babcock bill to place articles in the metal schedules on the free list | also cotton bagging, binding twine wood | pulp, etc. It was ruled out of order.
 On motion of MT. Payne the committee | then arose and reported the bill to the | House. The previous question was or dered and MT Payne demanded a sep | arate vote on the Morris amendment to | abolish the differentials on refined sugars, | and the roll was called. The Morris amendment was adopted, | 199 to 105. All the Democrats and the fol- | lowing Republcans-sixty-four in num- | ber-voted for the amendment:
 The Vote.
