Conflict During the Debate on
the Cotton Schedules.

Washington, june 2.--Apparently the
Senate is on the verge Of night sessions
for the consideration Of the tariff bill
Senator Aldrieh, chairman Of the com.
nhttee on finance, indicated in an Official
way his intention Of asking for such in
structions by presenting resolution
providing that, beginning Tuesday, the
daily sessions should begin at 1880 q.
m, with an intermission Of two and
one-half hours, from $3.50 to 8 p. m, for
dinner.
Senator Culberson, the Democratic
leader prevented immediate consider
alton by Directing, which had the e.
feet Of forcing it over until today.
Senator Aldrieh, however, gave notice
that he would move a recess at $3.50 yes
terday until 1880 a. m, today, with the
intention of then asking for night ses.
sions for carrying out thereafter the
programme as indicated in his resoIu-
ton.
A clash between Senator Aldrieh and
Senator Deliver occurred almost as soon
as the senator from Iowa attempted TO
obtain agreement to an amendment Of
fered by him to replace with ad valorem
rates a line Of specific rates on cotton
cloth, not bleached, dyed, mercerized,
eolored, staintd or printed.
Resisting this amendment, Mr.. All.
drich referred to senators who 'ebring
in importers briefs here" and argued
that the I'D valorem rates through IN.
terpretations, made upon the rates OF
the Dngley law had been reduced from
60 per cent. ad valorem to two. three |
or four per cent. II was to prevent this /
kind Of lowering of the rates that the 1
committee proposed to have specific
rates, he said
The reference Of the senator from
Rhode Island to senators bringing /
importers briefs here" brought TIE 4
Iowa senator to bis feet in an attempt
70 interrupt the speaker. Mr.. Aldrich
declined TO yield and Mr.. Deliver was
obliged to wait, with III concealed in.
until he could get the floor
n bis own right
The honorable senator from Rhode
Island" began Mr. Deliver, with deliber-
alton and O sarcastic tone, seems to
think that this IS q good time to settle
3hlngs, and / agree with him. There
Z one thing that ought to be settled. Ill,
lo not propose to submit without pro
est and an appeal to the Senate to in
that / stand here reading any /
