Amendment After Amendment Sent to Sub-Finance Commit
 tee--May Use Patronage.

Washington. D. c., May 2l.-- Every Republican senator has amendments to make lO the Wil- tariff which was sent to the Senate after passing the House and the amendments will keep the Finance committee lousy for considerable time.
 The Democratic senator's, who are opposed to the present sched- ules on sugar and wool, will join the Republican senators and the Democratic organization will be compelled to purchase Republican for the schedules by the use of patronage. The certainty that the Louisiana senators would be relegated to private life if they supported free sugar and the fear for Democratic senators who might vote for free wool will make it necessary for the organization to pay for Republican help.
 II is expected that enough votes will be secured for the bill, as the Republicans, believing that the measure will be the downfall of the Democratic party, may agree to support the bill for patronage.
