Republican Senators Haye Ore: ized For an Assault.—to i Kill Taritf Legis- lation. | |ATTEMPT TO SUBSTITUTE THE | WILSUN FOR THE SENATE | SCHEDULE, ; Democrats Deter nined to Stand vy Senate Amendments Washington, . C, May 28.— Whie the Demo-1ats were consum- ing tie tu day ou the lumber sched- ule of the tart bill the Republicans organized the assault by which they hope to defeat avy tariff legislation whatever. As has been anticipated from the cutset, the sugar schedule was decided upon as the object of attack. Briefly, the result of the consultation among the Republican Senate leaders was to attempt on Thursday next to substitute the sugar schedule of the Wilson bill for the Senate amended bill. Sher mau alone of the Republican leaders fought this policy, and to-night his consent had not been definitely ob- tained The theory upon which the Re- publicanes are working is a clever one. It is conceded that the Senate amended bill among nearly all the Democratic Senators and with nine- tenths of the Democratic voters. Peffer and Stewart are known to fav- or a sugar bounty, and opposed to the Senate sugar schedule, and it is believed that Allen’s support can be obtained. With a solid Republican vote and three or four Populist votes it will require the solid Democratic vote to defeat the motion to substitute the Wilson bill features. Many of the Democratic Senators want sugar as near free as it can be obtained. Vest declared in open Senate the other day that he would vote to lower Sugar duties his Dem- ocratic colleagues bave, in the main similarly committed themselves. The Republicans will offer them the op portunity and denounce the Sugar trust. They will dare the Democrats to make good their promises to the people,and assert that a vote against their amendment is a vote for the protection of the richest and most corrupt of the country’s trusts. They profess to believe that some of the Democratic Senators will refuse to vote, fearing to commit themselves against a reduction of the sugar duties If the amendment prevails, and sugar is left unprotected the Republicans count upon the Lousi ana Senators to vote against the bill thus defeating all tariff legislation. None of the Democratic Senators had heard of the line of attack up to the hour of adjournment. It was known, however, that the opposition to the bill would unite and make the fight on the sugar schedule. One of the Democratic Senators who is engag d in attempting to get an agreement by which a vote may be taken Juve 10, said to The Times eorrespondent: ‘When the vote is taken on the sugar schedule the Re- publicans will find themselves badly whipped. We have anticipated some sharp tactics and are prepared for avything that comes. It lies simply in our determination to stand by the Senate amendment, no matter what alluring bait may be thrown to us. That is the only way to save the bill.” Senator Sherman's refusal to fol-| low Aldrich and Hale has not been explained, but his attitude on other | matters which bear on the bill helps ito give a solution. Sherman does not believe in free sugar, and doesn't jthink the doubtful result justifies the means. If he could be absolute- ly assured that the proposed amend- ment would carry, and the bill be defeated, he would perhaps yield, but the outcome evidently appears jto him too uncertain. Hale and Aldrich are confident, however, that the Ohio Senator will yet be brought around, and that he is too good a Republican not to yield to his united | | colleagues. Blanchard of Louisiana, while in the House, voted for the tariff bill | , with the provisions in it, which it is| | proposed to attempt to again put in| | Thursday.
