Senate by Reason of Absence of
Regular Republicans, Pass Bill to
Revise Cotton Schedules.

Washington.-A shrewd move by
the regular Republicans, as unexpect.
ed as it was effective, on Thursday
suddenly threw the Democrats into
complete control OF the senate in their
own right and forced them absolutely
to abandon their coalition with the
progressive Republicans
Out of the chaos and uproar came a
bill to revise the cotton schedule OF
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. 1t was
the bill as passed by the house but
saddled with amendments to revise
the iron and Steel the cotton machin-
cry and chemical schedules, coupled
with provision for reciprocal free
trade in bituminous coal across the
Canadian boundary.
The bill as amended will go back
to the house and probably will be sent
to conference. If it energies from this
ordeal it will meet the fate OF the
wool revision bill which was vetoed
Thursday by the president.
Democratic votes alone were cast in
favor of the bill. The regular Repub-
licans deliberately absented them
selves from the chamber and thus left
their progressive colleagues in a hope
less situation.
