duty on iron ore, the senate just be-
fore adjournment yesterday, adopted
by vote of sixty one to twenty four
the recommendation of the comittee

that article on the free list, while the
present law levies duty on il of 40
cents per ton In taking this vote
party lines were anihilated as seven
teen democrats voted ayes with the

by the enforcement of another trust
law against it, He declared that he
expected to see this law enforced. and
he expressed confidence that eventu-
ally the officers of the steel corporation
would either be in the penitentiary or
fugitives from Justice For the first
time there was a suggestion looking to
the fixing of the day for a vote, but it
came to naught because of an objec-
