SENATE LEADERS HOPE
TO TIRE REPUBLICANS
Think Tariff Amendments Will
Cease When Futi'ity Has
Been Demonstrated.

The democratic leaders Of the Senate
are using every effort to hurry along the
consideration of the tariff bill and to
reach final vote. While the progress
with the bill during its consideration
paragraph by paragraph for amendment
during the last three days has been COM
paratively slow due to the many amend
ments offered by the republicans and
their extended argum ents, the democrats
feel considerably encouraged. In every
vote they have been sustained and every
attempt Of the republicans to change
the bill has been defeated. 1t is their be-
lief that the republicans will soon tire Of
these tactics and that progress will be-
come more rapid during the next week.
Republican senators have admitted
that if, during the consideration of the
bill for amendment, it was found that
the democratic lines could not be broken
they would make no further attempt to
delay the measure. The reading of the
bill for amendment was resumed today.
Progress of Day.
After a whole day spent in tariff de-
bate. occupied for the most part with at
tempts by the republicans to amend the
chemical schedule which was under con-
sideration. 1t was found last night that
the Senate had advanced just about one
page in the measure The democrats sue
cessfuiiy defeated all attem is o am nd
and the only changes made were the
hnance committee amendments, aireauy
approved by the democratic caucus.
The duty on chic.e cruue was .nanged
from ~ cents per pound to 15 cents psi
pound: the duty on dextrine, made fro II
potato starch, was increased from y OF
cent per pound to 11a cents per pound
deXtrine not otherwise provided for burn.
starch or British gum, dextrine substi-
tutes and soluble or chemically treated
starch. was made dutiable at y of a
cent per pound.
There were several record votes taken
on amendments offered by the republic
ans, and in each instance Senator Borah
OF Idaho. republican, was found vutins
with the democrats. The efforts of the
republicans were largely confined to at
tempts to place on the free list such
articles as amber, crude camphor, leaves
and roots. citrate of line and menthol.
The republicans claimed that these ar
ticles were raw materials and used in the
manufacture of other arl,c,es UPON which
the duty has been reduced by the de no
Gratis. This, they claimed. was unfair to
the American manufacturers.
