WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Ths
question of dutiable wool manufac-
lures in the tariff bill was raised in
the Senate Democratic caucus to-day
and brought a lengthy debate. Sena-
tor Chamberlain, Of Oregon, favored
the free listing of these commodities,
arguing this was only fair to the
public and the manufacturers with
raw wool on the free list.
The goods affected are stockings.
socks and blankets, women's and chill
dren's dress goods, ready-made cloth
ing and other articles of wearing ap-
parel. Ad valorem rates, ranging
from 20 per cent on stockings to IS per
cent on ready-made clothing are in
the bill as reported to the caucus.
At the recess Of the caucus Sena-
tor Simmons announced that the
proposition to free list wool manufac-
lures was beaten by close vote.

paper and sundries schedules to-
night" said Senator Simmons, and
