Washington. June 26.-Although it de-
voted almost eight hours to strenuous
efforts in that direction, the senate to-
dsv failed to conclude its consideration
Of the schedules Of the tariff bill and
when. at 515 o'clock an adjournment
was reached. there were still a number
Of important rates to be determined.
However. a number Of provisions were
disposed of today.
Questions Acted Upon.
Among the more important questions
which received attention were agTicui-
tuFal implements, wood pulp, cash reg
isters, photographic plates, laces and jute
yarns
Probably the most exciting incident
of the day was the vote on Senator
Beyendge's amendment reducing from
So per cent ad val0rem to Is per cent
ad valorem the duty on cash registers.
The Indiana senator was enabled TO
force vote on the amendment today
after comparatively little discussion.
The vote resulted 81 ayes and SO noes.
Stating after the vote was announced
that several senator's had informed him
that they had voted against his motion
under q misapprehensiOn, Mr.. Beverage
said he would renew the motion at a
later date
Not Yet Settled.
The wood pulp provision also again
received attention and il was supposed
was finally acted upon, until Senator
Clapp, taking exception to the schedule. /
as amended. stated that he would make
an effort TO have the retaliatOry state
ment eliminated before final action
should be taken on the bill. TOdav's
amendments were in lieu of all previous
senate changes i'm the schedule. They
