1 for free sugar in 1916, was flnally agreed to at 1 o'clock this morn ing, Bristow yielding to the de mand for another roll call be- cause the RansdeH amendment earlier had been defeated de- cisiVely
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 8-The sen ate wifi vote finally on the demo cratic tariff bill tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock. An agreement was reached tonight at 11:45 o'clock when t became apparent that it would be impossible to carry the plan to pass the measure before adjournment.
 The party leaders agreed to keep the senate in session until well in the morning to dispose of as many re- served amendments still pending as possible. and then adjourn until nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The democratic lines stood sOlidlN tonight against the final onslaught. With party leaders urging colleagues on to approval of the bill the ranks closed up against the anti-free wool and the anti-free sugar forces, and defeated all amendments as fast as they came to d vote Attempts to restore the duty on raw wool and raise the duty on wooIen manu- factured good made in successive amendments by La Toilette, Catron and Penrose. were defeated without the loss of q party vote. The last stand by the anti-free sugar forces, led by Ransden, of Louisiana. demo- crat, held the attention of the sen ate throughout the evening but the vote of RansdeH and Thornon had
 ,y ,1.V ans on the sugar issue.
 With the hope of passing the Un- dcrwood- Simmons tariff bill before another sunrise the senate settled down to a night session after work ing away on the measure throughout the day Democratic leaders had done their utmost to suppress gen eral speeches, and the force progress, and before night the session was well under way and voting on the final important amendments had begun.
 The first hint of a final fight over free raw wool came late in the after noon when Senator La Toilette intro duced d general substitute for the wool tariff sections of the Under wood Simmons bill.
 The inheritance tax amendment offered by Senator Norris was pend ing at the time. and the debate all ternated between the subjects for several hours. The La Toilette wool plan came as a surprise to the demo- cfats. Instead of the expected fifteen per cent on raw wool after January l next. his substitute proposed general cut in wool rates, based on thirty per cent on raw wool duty for 1914, of twenty per cent duty for 1915 and fifteen per cent duty after January l, 1916. When LaFollette concluded, Senator Stone, in charge cf the wool sections of the bill urged | the democrats to refrain from debate. He said the subject had been thor l oughly covered before. La Toilette refrained from offering an amend ment when the wool issue was dis Cussed and the tariff bilTs passage will not be delayed by the re-opening of the wool fight
 While the high wooden tariff of the 1 present law came in for much of La Follette's criticism, it was insist ed that the democratic bilIa will not 1 treat the woOl-raising industry fairly. | It was declared that the wool duty is the only tariff duty from which l the farmer profited, and a demand | was made for an explanation of the democratic plan of taking all the duty off wool at once, while Louisi- ana sugar producers were given three years in which to prepare for free | sugar.
 When the vote came the substitute i was defeated forty-one to twenty ] eight, and Immediately afterward La Toilette offered another amendment to fix straight fifteen per cent duty on wool. This was promptly | voted down, thirty-nine to twenty
