The amendument was rejected. Mr, Cannon's amendment was then re- jected by a vote of 87 to 103 Mr. Dingley of Muinc offered an amend- ment fixing the duty on sugar not above 13 Dutch staudard, and testing not above 7 degrees, at seventy hundredths of a cent per pound, with an additional duty of two-hun- dredthis of a cent per pound for cich addi- tional degree or fraction of a degree, Mr. Bayne of Pennsylvania hoped that Mr, Dingley's proposition would prove ac- ceptable to every republican and democtat on the floor.

On mot'nn of Mr. Mills the duty on molas- 508 tosting not above 56 degrees wus fixed at 237 cents per gallon, r. Cannon of 1lhnois offeréd an amend- ment substituting -the sugar schedule as it oviginally appeared in the Mills bill, He intimated that a change had becn brought about by the fact that avemoycr had sup- ported Cleveland, Mr, Reed inquired if the chairman of the committee would not explain the reason why the change had been made.

Caunon inguired whether two wrongs made @ right, Mr. Milis wanted to know why it was that the gentleman had stood by Havemeyer and the sugar trust and all other trusts, He had even refused in former congresses to ac- cord consideration to a measure affecting the revenue, aud vonsequently the trust, Mr. Reed. said that here was a divect charge made against the commitioe; that after an interview with Havemeyer ”Il‘_\ had the sugar schedule changed in the intevest of the most prominent of these trusts which hey: denounced 80 much, and explained the reason that indueed the change, and b chairman of the mittee give the house encral declaration of how good he is and how bad republicans are. It seemed that th bill had been made up for the purpose of af- fecting the success of certain democrats, Mr. Canuon's amendment was rejected. Mr. Weber of Now York oftored an amend- ment proviling that no drawback shall be allowed on sugar exported from the United States He charged that the amended bill was in the intorest of the sugar trust of the country.

The objects of the organi- zation are protection for the reporters, the prevention of incompetent men from belit- Sling the profession, and the raising of the Standard of work performed. But there is something behind this. Some weeks ago a movement was started among the St. Paul papers to enter into an agreement in the nature of a trust. A scale of prices was to'be agreed upon and no paper was to offer a re- porter a higher salary for the purpose of ctting him to leave one paper for another. ?t was understood that the plan was submit- ted to the Tribune, but that that puper, ugnlnnl whom it was in part. aimed, refused to agree, so the plan fell thmu[h, for the time being at least.
