the sugar iarift ana the eDonhnneut OF
the Dutch standard" basis OF assessing
tariff on imported sugar. was defeated this
afternoon, 81 TO G. after Senator Bristow

subject.
Senator Cumulns introduced additional
amendments 20 the bill one providing for
a reduction of the duty ON steel beams,
girders and like products. and the other

are speculating on the possible result OF
the promised votes on the two tariff bills
wool and free list. included In today's agree
ment No one would undertake TO predict
the outcome. but all agreed on the point
that the success or failure Of the measure
ldenpends entirely upon whether the demo
