AMENDMENT CAUCUS IS ADOPTED the Sugar Schedule Considered e of the Tariff Bill— the Vote on Decisive of the Fa Wil Same Vote as the Sugar Schedale. Probsbly Fasse by About ise WASHINGTON, June 5.—The compron amendments to the sug schedule were all adopted in the senate today, pivotal schedule, on which the fate tarifl measure depended, went through out change. On the vital amend place all sugars on the free list the cratic line was drawn, Mr. Hill of New voting in favor of it and Mr. Irby of Carolina being paired the same way the republicans were unable to hold own side intact, Messrs. Mander: Perkins voting against the amendment Mr. Quay being paired aguinst it, while Sherman, who was present, did not at all. Only one of the populists, Mr. Peffer voted for free sugar, Messre. Kyle and Alien, in the final issue, joining with the majority of the democrats against it. Had ail the republicans, with the three popu- lists and the two disaffected democrats, joined hands, sugar, raw and refined, would have gone ou the free list. On all the other amendments offered by the republicans the majority against them ranged from three to_ten The adoption of the sugar echedule prac- tically insures the passage of the bill at an early date, although it is claimed that the republicans will make & final stand ou the sugar schedule when the bill is reported and cousidered in the senat PROVISIONS OF THE SUGAR SCHEDULE As adopted today, the schedule imposes a duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugars, raw and refined, with a differential of one- eighth of 1 cent per pound on sugars above sixteen Dutch standard, and an additional one-tenth of 1 cent against sugars importe from countries paying an export bounty. It continues the Hawaiian treaty, admitting sugars from the Sandwich islands free of duty, and places a duty of 2 cents per pound on molasses testing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. The schedule goes into efect Jaunary 1, 1885, and the bounty is continued until that’ date. On motion of Power, authorizing the Missouri peny to build 4 dam across Tiver was passed. The tariff bill was laid before the senate and the sugar schedule again teken up. Hig- gius, republican of Delaware, opened the de- bate with an argument in favor of continu- ing the present bounty provisions. Mr. Aldrich, alluding 1o statements made in the senate vesterday reearding the alleged influence of the Sugar trust in the framing of the McKinley bill, said, while there was & Sugar trust in 1890 it was not the gigantic concern it is now, and specu- lation in its shares was comparatively trivial. Mr. West retorted and the of the with ient to demo- York South But their and and Mr. Montana, a bill River Power com- the Missouri that in three wecks then the shares weni up thirty-five poiuts. “There were then,” he said, “the same Yes, the same falsifications, the same at- tacks on public men as have characterized the consideration of the pending bill.” Mr. Sherman also fusisted that the of 1850 was not the trust of today “Do you know what the capital Sugar trust of 1890 was?" asked Mr “I do not,” replied Mr, Sherman. “It was §50,000,000," said Mr. Brice “The stock of that corparation went up from 63 to 95. The stock advanced $20,000,000 by virtue of the action of your conimittee.” “Between what periods did this fluctuation occur?” usked Mr. Aldrich “Between May and October,” Brice emphatically his heel, “after the re trust had made their & who controlled the bill."” Mr. Aldrich protested that he did mot knov what the senator from Ohio meant by an ugreement existiug between the Sugar trust and those in power in 1590, but he did Xnow thut the Sugar trust had dictated the sugar schedule in the present bill. “Who dictated the 50 cent protection in the McKiniey bill?" inquired Mr. Vest pas slonately. o one.” “The Sugdr trust,” said Vest, *and you yourself admitted it in the record when You sald you could not resist the arguments of the Philadelphia sugar refiners.” TIME FOR VOTING AKRIVES In the midst of this sensational debate which crimination and recrimination vailed, the hour of 1 o'clock arrived, and under the agreement & vote was taken on Mr, Jones' amendment fixing January 1. 3895, us the date on which the repeal of the sugar bounty should go into” effect. On this the vote resulted: Yeas, 40: nays 31. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Hill @id not vote and Mr. Peffer voted with the pepublicans. Allen and Kyle voted with the @emocrats.

WASHINGTON, - June 5.—The supporters of bills for the advancement of New Mexico and Oklahoma to statehood have not lost courage. Several times in the course of the present session the two statehood bills have been on the eve of receiving considera- tion from the house, but each time they were sidetracked by more important legisla- tion or party misunderstandings. Bili for the admission of Utah and Arizona were passed by the house early in the session, but have since been hung up in the senate. An sttempt was made ot the same time by the republicans to hear an argument for the consideration of the New Mexico and Okla- homa bills together, but Speaker Crisp told Delegate Flynn that the point of order would be in order againet such an arrang ment, and that being undoubtedly the casc the sttempt wes abandoned. * The spoaker has assured General Wheeler, the chairmau of the committee on territories, that the bill for New Mexico can secure a hearing after the Indian appropriation bill, which comes up this week. The Oklahoma bill will follow that for New Mexico, unless un- foreseen circumstances arise to delay one or the other. New Mexico is democratic and if admitted will 2dd two to the democratic majority in the senate, but Oklahoma is re- publican, so that the success of the bill for the admission of the latter territory is very doubtful Moreover, there has been much disagreement in Oklahoma over the details of the statehood plan, which has been com- plicited by the opposition of Indian tr 10 it. Republicans have feared that if the New Mexico bill was passed other legisla- tion would be pressed forward to displace Ok'ahoma, ther re it would be to their satisfaction to secure consideration of the case of Oklaboma first. TARIFF MANAGERS NOT WORRYING. They Are Not Afrald of the Theate: Bank Tax Amendme WASHINGTON. June 5.--The democratic menagers of the tariff bill in the senate are not greatly disturbed the intimation that an amendment will be offered providing for the repeal of the state bank tax.

Californian Bound Over for Murder by a London Coroner's Jury. LONDON, June 5.—Dr. George Danford P. Thomas, the coroner for the district of Lo don, held an inguest today in St. Pancri upon the remains of George Burion, the itin- erant musician who was killed on May 80 in Acton street by General John Hewston of California, who thrust the point of his um- breila into Burton’s left eve. Griscom Rick- wolicitor, represented General Hewston. Who was present at the inquest. Mrs. Emma Burton, the widow of the musi- cian, did not wish to see the body, but iden tified the clohting of the deceased as heving belonged to her husband. Mrs. Burton said that she had been murried for twenty-two years, and for the last four years she had been separated from her husband. The couple had four children. the voungest of whom was 9 years old. Burton made his wife | an allowance of from 6 to § shillings per week. He earned his living as a musician, and was in the habit of playing outside of saloons. G. A. Burton, a scavenger, son of the de- ceased, identified his father's body. Benjainin Bowering, a vestry employe, suld that as General Hewston passed, his arm struck the harp which was carried by one of the musiciens. The general thereupon gave the instrument a push, and Burton, who was arrying a tin whistle and a stool, eaid Why did you push that harp?” To this the general is said to have replied: “It hit me on the arm.” Burton, according to Bowering, then remarked: “You had no business to do tha The general, still, sccording to Bowering therenpon exclaimed: “1 will poke this in your eye,” at the same time raising his wm- brella. Burton said: “Do ft!" The general then thrust the end of his umbrella into Bur- ton's eve, withdrew it, and waiked down the street. Witness said that he turned away his bead, as he felt sick. Soon after, how- ever, he followed the general and said to him: “You shall not get away.” Another man shouted out: “Collar him.” ~Boweriug added that he then stopped the general until the police arrived. Upon cross-examination, Bowering said that Burton carried a camp stool which he folded up until it had the appearance of a thick walking stick. The man carrving the harp was walking with Burton, and the third musician was a little way ahead of his two companions. It had been raining, and the general's umbrella was folded up tightly General Hewsion, witness said, wore specta- cles. The umbrella did not go above the level of the shoulder; it was thrust forward. Witness was quite sure that the general said “] will poke this in your eve.” Solicitor Ricketts here remarked: “That is a different statement to the one you made in the police court.” According to Bowering, the whole incident occurred in a minute and a half James Bryan gave important evidence for General Hewston, saying that he was walk- ing near the scene when he saw General Hewston being hustled. The general, he added, endeavored to extricate himself and Burton raised the camp stool his right hand as though about to strike. ~General who had lifted his umbrella in order to avoid the blow, stuck t ferrule in the man's left eyve. This witness also testified that he heard a bystander re mark after Burton had been struck: “‘That serves him right.”” The umbrella gnd camp stool were here produced in court for the examina- tion of the coroner's jury General Hewston was then witness stand. He said that cupation an analytical chemist had been in charge of the national guard of California for fourteen vears. He lived in San Francisco and was now staying with his friend, Mr. Lorin A. Lathrop. the United States consul at Bristol, who had come from the latter city in order (o be of service to him in his trouble. On Wednesday even ing, May 80, said the general, I was walking In Gray's Inn road. Turning into Acton street 1 saw & man carry ing a barp on his back, the ends of the in- strument stretching cut beyond his shoul- ders. We were both walking rapidly, and the harp caught my shoulder and face. It aid not bhurt me & bit, but impulsively 1 pushed the instrument aside and walked on 1 had ne but a few steps when the de- ceased came up to and asked why I had pushed the harp. 1 turned around and faced him. Deceased said something, and menacingly raised & camp etool in his ht band. 1 sald: “Don't strike me The deceased replied: “1 will punch vou in the eye,” and lunged at me. I, mot intend- Ing any barm, threw up my umbrella, and 1 felt it touch the man. 1 theu turned and walked on, not knowing that anything serious had occurred. 1 Lad not gone more than a few yards before some men ran up and stopped me, saving: “You've knocked that man's eve out.” That was the first in- timation which 1 had recelved that any- thing serious had bappened. As some of {he men who hed run up appeared inclined to hold me, 1 said: “Leave me alone; I'll wait for & policeman.’ The coroner summed up lengthily, and said the question for the jury to decide was whether the death of Burton was caused by misadventure or by manslaughter. The jury returned a verdict holding Gen- eral John Hewston gullty of manslaughter and £dded a rider, saying that the jury i not belleve that the wound which caused Burtou's death inflicted willfully. It 1s believed that be will eventually be ac- quitted. Dupuy Talks About Dictation. PARIS, June b.—Premier Dupuy, replying to M.
