SQUALLS IN SENATORIAL SEA.
But Notwithstanding Senate Makes
Substantial Proqress on Tariff SiIl.

Washington, May 23.-There were
some squalls yesterday on the senate

If bill made progress. A number of
paragraphs were passed upon and,
while in most instances they were
disposed of with the understanding
that the senate might still return to
them, it is the general opinion that
little. i any, change will be made in
most Of them
The house rates were retained in
the polished plate glass paragraph,
but with the understanding that when
the bill is taken up in the SEN
ate proper, it now being consider
ed as in the committee of the whole,
there probably will be some altera-
tons. The so-called Republican pro-
gressfves' criticised the house rate as
too high, while Senator Oliver. who
represents the glass producing state
OF pennsylvania, conterded that the
rate was entirely inadequate to the
proper protection of the plate glass
industry.
The interests considered during the
day RANGED all the way from mica
and feldspar to automobiles. Begin.
ming with the earthenware schedule, a
number Of committee recommends
tons were adopted. These included a
marked increase of feldspar made at
the instance of Senator Bradley, and
decided reduction on gypsum. There
was also reduction in mica from the
Dingley rate. Then came an Interrupt.
ton by Senator Culberson, who made
set speech outlining the Democratic
position on the tariff. He declared
that real Democrats were neither pro-
tectlonists nor free traders, but advo
Gates of a revenue tariff only.

May wheat yesterday was caused by
another frantic rush of the Shorts
to cover.
There are those on the Chicago
