the kings justieiar and his subordi-
mates to make up the royal accounts
twice a year. at Easter and Michael
mas, on a table which was the most
striking object in the chamber in
which they assembled. This table was
covered with dark russell cloth divided
into squares. which gave it a checker
ed, chessboard-Iike appearance. and in
the columns and spaces the accounts
rendered by the sheriffs and great
landowners who attended for that
purpose were entered and reekoned
up. 1t was the checkered cloth. so
conspicuous throughout the proceed

THE SUGAR TARIFF GETS
A SLIGHT REDUCTION.

A Republican sugar tariff bill, the
first purely Republican revision meas
ure of the present congress, was ad-
opted in the senate Saturday. De-
serting their allies of the two days
previous, the Republican progress
ives, by an ironc,ad agreement with
the regulars, succeeded in passing a
tariff reduction bill which they
believe Pres; dent Taft will sign.
The sugar bill was a compromise
between the Lodge plan, endorsed by
the regular Republicans, and the
Bristow bill, behind which the pro-
gressives lined up. 1t would cut the
present sugar bill from $3.50 to
$l.6O; would abolish the Dutch
standard. under which practically no
refined sugar can be imported and
would abolish the II cent "refiners
differential," an additional duty on
refined sugar, which, it is claimed,
has accrued directly to the profit
of the refiners.
In the third and last days fight
on the measure the regulars came
down from the sissy duty of the
Lodge bill. while the progressives
moved upward from the 1521a rate
of the original Bristow bill. The
compromise. which is only X cents
above the lowest figures named by
the progressives, is considered vic
Vi u-hn has
been the most active advocate of
sugar tariff reduction on the Repub-
lican side.
The Democratic free sugar bill
passed by the house of representatives
did not come to vote in the sem
ate. The Bristow-Lodge amendment
was first adopted in the committe OF
the whole by vote of 81 to 20,
Senators Thornton and Foster of Lou
isana, Democrats, voting with the
Republicans.
The senate Democrats then offer
ed their substitute for the house bill,'
proposing one-third reduction in
the present sugar tariff. This was
defeated to "a, the Republican
regulars and progresives holding to
their agreement. The Bristow-Lodge
bill finally passed the senate with
all but two Democrats voting for it.
1t is estimated that the sugar tar
iff reduction, If it becomes effective'
will reduce the governments custom
receipts about s5.500.oO0. while its
saving in the retail sugar bill of tho
nation is estimated at 20,00o,000.
