WASHINGTON May 21.-Despite fire.
ouent oratoricaI squalls, in which SEN
stors called things by their proper
names" the tariff bin made some prog
ress i'm the senate today.
A number of paragraphs were passed
uuon. and while in most instances 1t
was understood that the senate might
return % them, il is the general opinion
that very little, If any, change viii be
made.
The house rates were retained In the
polished plate glass paragraph, but with
the understanding that when the bill is
taken up in the senate proper. there
probably viii De some alterations.
The Republican progressives' criti-
cised the house rate as too high, while
Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania con-
tended it was really inadequate.
Many Items Considered.
The interests considered ranged all
the way from mica 20 automobiles.
Beginning with the earthenware
schedule. a number Of committee rec
concentrations we're adopted. These in
cluded marked increase on feldspar,
made a the instance of Senator Brad
ley, and a decided reduction on gyp-
sum. There was also a reduction in
mica from the Dingley rate.
Then came an interruption by Senator
Cuiberson. who outlined the Democratic
position on the tariff. He declared that
real Democrats were neither protection
lists nor free traders. but advocates of
a tariff for revenue only.
About four hours time was devoted
% the paragraph fixing a duty on cleo
trc light CarbOns. The Dingley law
provides a rate Of 80 cents per 100, while
the proposed provision adopted today
txes IS cents per 100 on high-grsde car
hon. and cents on OW-grade the class
most generally imported.
Would Double the Rate.
Senator's LaFoIette and Gore con-
tended that the effect Of this amend
ment would be practically to double the
present rate, and insisted the change
had been made in the interest of the
National Carbon company, which they
spoke of as a trust
Mr.. Gore also asserted that there was
a combination between carbonmakers
ana the Standard Oil COmDany.
Air. Burton VINO lives in Cleveland
where the carbon company is located
vigorously defended the company. Dur
ing the discussion Of this paragraph
Senator Gore made illusions to Senator
Smoot, which were generally interpreted
as personal. but the Utah senator made
no reply
The automobile schedule Of the
hndnce committee was accepted.
iheTe were many sharp criticisms Of
one another by various senators, and
near the hour Of adjournment MI Hale
criticised Mr. Beverage as seeking
newspaper notoriety by his frequent
eleeches. The charge was denied by the
i'Al4na senator. who said that he was
merely seeking 70 do his duty.
Mr AldriCh stated that tomorrow he
Nou-d ask the senate to fix a day for
voting upon the bin.
