SUGAR IN THE HOUSE [CoNTINU provision of the McKinloy bill. Wilson concluded the aebate in advo- gacy of the bounty provision of the pending bill. Beginning of tho Vote. The voting began ab 4:20 after a great deal of wrangling ns to the manner in which the amendments should be voted upon, it being decided by the chairman that he would permit four amendments to be pend- ing to euch of the paragraphs, 180 and 181, the first relating to the bounty on sugar and the latter to the duty on refined sugal The first vote was taken on Mr. Moikle- john's amendment to substituto for Mr. McRae's amendment to abolish the sugar bounty the provisions of the MeKinley law relating to the bounty. This was defeated withaut division by a strict party vote. The vote then recurred upon an amond- ment offered by Mr. Prico to amend Mr. Harter's substitute, placing a duty of 1 cent per pound on sugar below 16 Dutch standard and abolishing the sugar bounty, by insert- ing the provision of the Milis bill, which levied a duty on sugarnot above 18 Dutch standard of 1 1-16 cents per pound, above 16 Duteh standard 2 20-100 cents and above 20 Dutch standard 280-100 cents per pound, This had tho support of quite a number of democrats, meluding its author, Bailey of Toxns, Hooker and the members of the Louistana_delogation. The remainder of the domocrats voted against it. For the first time the republicans showed their nand, decliniug to vote at all upon the vro- position, which was defeated by a vote of 19 to 149, Bounty on Sugar Abolished. The vote then came upon Mr. Harter's sub- stitute, which was lost without division. This made the vote recur upon Mr. McRae's orig- inal proposal to abolish altogether the bounty provisions of vhe Wilson bill. Quite a number of the republicans, including Messrs. Hoplkins, Cannon, Dalzell and Funk, voted with the radical democrats against the members of the committee for this propo- sition and it was carried by an overwheim- ing majority, 135 to 69. This action abolishes the bounty on sugar. The vote was tnen taken on the amend- ments to section 181, providing for a duty on refined sugar. Mr. Robertson’s amendment, providing for a duty of from 11-10 cents per pound and upward on sugars testing by the polarscopic test not above 752, was offered as the first amendment. To this Mr. Warner of New York offered the amendment to place refined sugar dutiable in the bill at a fourth of a cent on the free list, and after a long parliamentary discussion as to the status of penping amenad- ments, it being claimed by the Louisiana members thata misunderstanding . existed regarding a ruling of the chair, by unani mous consent Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky was allowed to offer a substitute for these two amendments placing a uniform duty of 1 cent per pound upon all sugars below 16 Dutch standard. Duty on Refined Sugar Removed. The vote was first taken upon Mr. Warner's amendment to the amendment, to abolish the duty on refined suzar, and again the radical democrats secured another Sig- nal victory, the republicans declining to vote. By i vote of 157 to 52 the duty on’ ro- fined sugar was abolished. Among those who voted for it were: Messrs. Johnson of Ohio, Coleman, Heard, Springer, Lockwood, Mutchler, McGuire, Abbott, Martin, Bland and Simpson, while the Louisiana delega- tion, the members of the ways and means committoe generally, Messrs, Platy, Wise and Cummings voted aganse it. The substitute of Mr. Breckinridge, which was voted upon bext, was defeated by a vote of 144 to 67. The republicans not only de- clined to aid those of the democrats who wero seeking to placo a duty upon sugar, but voted with the radical democrats against it. The democratic supporters of the Breckin- ridge movement were unabie to secure enough followers to order tellers. Got tutoa Tangle, At this juncture, amid great confusion, the time came to take' the final voto upon Mr. Robertson’s amendment as amended by M. Warner's amendment. A great deal of mis- understanding existed upon the floor as to what the effect of the adoption of the amended proposition would mean. The re- publicans were bilarjously joyful at the tangle into which thoy laa gotten the demo- crats, Mr. Payne shouting if the proposition was adopted 1t would have the incongruous offect, of placing raw sugar on the dutiaole list and refined sugar on the free list. Mr Richardson, who was in the chair, was appealed to in Yain tostate the cffects of te adoption of the pending wmendmont. So much misunderstanding ~ existed even among the most skillful parlismentarians on both sides that Mr. Wilson finally decided, amid great confusion, to move the committee viso 10 give every one a_chance to examine over night into the parliamentary situation, and at 5:30 the committee roseand the house took a recess until 8 o'clock. Night Session. At the night session the followlng mem- bors spoke: Brookshire, democrat, of Ir diana; McCrary, democat, of Kentuck oldzier, democrat, of Illinois; Broderi vepublican, of Kansas; Hilboru, republica of California, and Avery, republican, Michigan. of IN THE SENATE, Civil Sorvice Law Takes Up Most of th Timo of Yesterdny's Sessh WasniNaroy, Jan. 22.—The civil service law again came in for its quota of criticism in the senate today, and Jater in the session Senator Peffer, in a long argument, sought to show that the proposition ot the secretary of the treasury to 1ssue United States bonds is directly without authority in law. While petitions were being presented this morning Senator Sherman of Ohio took oc- pasion to refer to the flag incident which re- cently stirred the Ohio people and said he hoped the flags would be kept flying over the capitol all the time as well as when con- ress and the supremo court were in session, A bill to copy and arrange in ord 11 the pension laws was presented by Senator >almer of Illinois. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts presented a resolution directing the eivil service com- mission to report to the senate the number and character of the cases which it has considered since March 4, 1880, in which it is alleged that the civil vice regulations have been violated by tho heads of depavtments or bureaus thereor, or by any oficers of the United States, where aphointments ave subject Lo the con- firmation of the senate. He asked its im- mediute consideration, but Senator Perry of. Arkunsas objected and it went over. Senutor Call’s resolution, reducing the civil service of the United States, and tho expodiency of its retrenchment or decroaso came up, and Senator Berry presented an amendment directing the committee to rlso “the number of persons employed in \ssified service from cach state and territory and, so far as they can, ascertuin the number belonging to each political party, and whether the public service would bo fited by the repeal of the civil servico Quostioned by Petfor. The resolution of Senator Peffor, populist of Kansas, questioning the authority of th president ‘and secretary of the treasury 1o 15500 bouds, then came up. Senator Peffer said if it can be true that the crotary of the treasury, 1n co-operation with tha presi- dent, 13 makwg a now law, it is a violation of the constitution of the United States. Tho news published by the sccretary does not show or intimate that the redemption fund is not sufficient to redeom United States notes outstanding. Av the conclusion of Senator remarks the discussion quite naturally reverted to the silver question, in which Senators Alhson, Teller, Gorman and others ull took a part The resolution went over to & future date, Peffer's when Senator Stewart will make some re marks on the subject, At 4:20, on motion ot Senator (iorman, the senato went into executive session and av 4:30 adjourned, SOHOOLS AND THE SALODNS Ground on Whioh Granting of Lioonses is Protested in Two Cases.
