The Senate disposed of about ten pages of the tariff bill yesterday. At no time during the day were speeches longer than five minutes each. At the conclusion of The Star's report @ number of parggraphs were passed upon. The committee amendments on refined camphor, ground chalk, manufactured chalk and chioroform were agreed to. Mr. Vest remarked that the chalk item showed another raise above McKinley rates. When paragraph 19, relating to barks, beans and like drugs, was reached, Mr. Aldrich mcved an amendment of one-quar- ter cent per pound in addition to the 10 per cent ad vaicrem provided by the bill. Mr. Aldrich said the foreigners were se- curing the trade on these poorer classes of drugs under the present arrangement. Mr. Vest questioned this, saying the Americans. controlled the market and ex- ported $900,000 last year. He demanded a roll call, on which the Aldrich amendment was agreed to, 45 to 21. The vote was a party one, except that Jones and Stewart of Nevada and Petti- Lied of South Dakota voted in the affirm- ative. Committee amendments were agreed to on liccrice extract, chicle, magnesie, alixa- rine assistant, cotton seed oil, puppy seed oil, fusel cil, peppermint oil. Mr. Aldrich withdrew the committee amerdment on opium prepared for smok- ing, leaving it at $6 per pound. Mr. Jcnes of Arkansas resisted the other features of the opium paragraph, saying great increases had been made on a drug of universal use. He moved to amend the rate on morphia from $1 to 50 cents per ounce, and said he would later move to place crude and unmanufactured opium on the free list. Mr. Jones’ amendment was disagreed to, yeas, 24; nays, 39. Mr. Mc- Enery of Louisiana and Messrs. Pettigrew, Kyle and Stewart voted with the republi- cans, and Mr. Heitfeld with the demo- crats. In cther respects the vote was on party lines. When varnishes were reached Mr. Vest protested against the increase in duty, but cee it was useless to take a vote against Mr. Vest again made a protest on the white lead paragraph, caying the increased duties would accrue to the profits of the lead trust. He moved to reduce the rate from 2% to 1% cents a pound, and de Mmarded a yea and nay vote. The amend- ment was rejected, yeas, 27; nays, 35, the vote being on party lines, except that Mr. Pettigrew voted with the democrats, an Messrs. Cannon, Heitfeld, Jones of Ne- vada and Stewart with the republicans. The paint paragraph led to some debate. Mr. Aldrich stated that the increase was justified as a measure of protection to the American paint makers. Mr. Vest an- swered that the export of $880,000 worth of paint refuted the claim that the producers needed more protection. The paragraph was egreed to, however, without a vote. On lead litharge Mr. Vest moved to re- duce the duty from 2% to 1% cents, which was disagreed to without division. Mr. Aldrich offered a committee amend- ment to increase chlorate of potash from 2 to 2% cents. This was resisted by Mr. Vest, who said the article was required in manufacturing cotton goods. He made @ general plea against taxing raw ma- terials. Mr. Platt of Connecticut said the change was designed to free the United States from dependence on the United Alkalia trust of England und to encourage an American company. which proposes to utilize the power of Niagara Falls. “I am too much of an American,” re- marked Mr. Vest, “to think that Niagara Falls needs any protection in order to per- mit competition with foreign producers.” Senators Caffery, Chilten and Gray spoke against the proposed rate, and Messrs. Gallinger of New Hampshire and Gear of Iowa for it. Mr. Gallinger stated that be Started a new American industry, just s protection had started the tin plate tn- dustry. “You can build up anything if you only give subsidy enough,” declared Mr. Gray. “You can grow oranges under glass in New Hampshire.” When Mr. Caffery opposed an increased duty on potash Mr. Gallinger remarked that it was justified on the same grounds as the bounty to Louisiana sugar produc- ers. - Mr. Caffery responded that a duty on sugar was the keystone of the -lemocratic arch of a tariff for revenue, and he de- clared that the sugar bounty of 1890 had mane “a demoralizing and debauching “The senator and his people were the beneficiaries of that gift,” interposed Mr. Gear. There was a proverb, Mr. Caffery said, not to look a gift horse in the mouth. But he insisted that a duty on sugar, rather than a bounty, was the Ideal measur of protection. The Aldrich amendment increasing the rate on chlorate of potassium to 2% cents was agreed to—yeas, 33; nays, 27. Messrs. Jones, Stewart and Cannon voted with the republicans and Harris of Kansas, Heitfeld and Kyle with the democrats. The committee amendments were agreed to on ochre, orange minzral, re@ lead, varnishes, vermillion red, white lead, oxide of zinc, paints, acetate of lead, caustic potash and prussiate of potash. The following paragraphs went over: 14, 16, collodton; 22, gelatin glue; 38, olive oil; 48, bluc; 50, ultramarine blue; phosphorut At 5:10 p.m. Mr. Aldrich said that, in view of the good progress made, he would ask to have the bill lai astde for the day. SSS “BEN DESERVED IT.” A Story of the Early Days of Major Butterworth. About a year ago President McKiniey, Commissioner ot Patents Butterworth agd one or two other gentlemen were :ravel- ing, and occupied the same smoking apart- ment. The conversation turned to the pat- ent office, and one of the strangers in- quired whether any of the others had known ex-Commissioner of Patents But- terworth. “Oh, yes,” promptly replied Major But- terworth; “I knew Ben. Butterworth when he was a boy. I have often seen his father give him a sound licking.” “But that can’t be the one I mean; his father was a Quaker.” “Yes, he was a Quaker. But I simply testify to what I have seen. I have fre- quently seen Ben get a licking. His father Hewes him once or twice a week regu- How did you happen to be on hand when he got licked,” inquired the stranger. “Oh, 1 vlayed with Ben and I was gen- erally around.” At this point in the conversation a friend of Major Butterworth joined the company .Jand called him by name. The stranger heard it, marked: “Being a Quaker, I thought the old man did wrong to lick Ben, but now I am>satisfred the boy richly deserved it.” and, coming over to him, re- COLLECT DUTIES PROMPTLY. Circular Order Issued Officers. Assistant Secretary Howell has issued a circular to officers of the customs. calling attention to the fact that a practice has become prevalent et some of the customs ports of consenting to delay in the collec- tion of penal duties in cases where the im- porter has made an unsuccessful applica- tion to the department for remission of such duties, and proposes to obtain a@ re- consideration of tts decision. This practice is said to result in delay of the public busi- ness and encourages the prosecution of ef- forts to obtain the desired remission, whitch have the effect of imposing needless bur- dens upon the department. Customs officers are advised that all ap- plications for remission receive due con- sideration, and the decision, when an- MUST to Customs i it fi mptly obtained for further Freight Depot.
