It was for this reason, he declared, that the sugar trust was seeking through the agency of this bill to cripple and destroy its great rival of the future In conclusion Tawney sald this was the first | time Republican leaders had proposed to de- part from the protective theory. The Repub- lican party was bound in honor to keep faith with those whom it had induced to enter the beet sugar industry. If the United States owed a Gebt to Cuba it should be paid out of | the public treasury by the whole people and not alone by the farmers who were growing sugar beets. Dalzell Closes Debate. Dalzell, in closing the debate for the friends of the bill, declared it was not an attack upon protection. “It is not a revision of the existing laws or its schedules,” said he. “It will not harm a single American industry or deprive an American workman of a single day's wages. This bill contains a single proposition for re- ciprocal trade relations and is justifiable on plain business principles. But it is more than that. It is a step toward the redemption of the pledge we made not to Cuba, but to our- selves when we volunteered to- intervene to right the wrongs whigh she was suffering under the Spanish regime.’” Dalzell insisted that it was our duty, that Cuba was to be set upon the high road of tarift the rid, to see that she started under fair auspices. While Dalzell was speaking several of the | Senators, inc ng Elkins of West Virginia, psin and Fairbanks of In- o the chamber. Ex-Senator His- ew York also was on the floor. The had also filled to overfiowing and al- y as in his seat, so that he audience. Re- he stirred the friends of the bill t peatedly applause: Just before he coneluded, Dalzell discussed the question of striking the differential from refined sugar. That differential, he said, was placed in the Dingley law for the benefit of the | beet sugar industry. “If I am to have sugar from a trust,” sald , I want it from an American trust, not an English trust.” At 3 o'clock the time for general debate ex- pired, and the bill, which consisted of only one section, was opened to amendment under the five-minute rule. Amendment by Morris. Morris of Minnesota, one of the Republican opponents of the bill, much excltement offered an amendment to re- move the differential from refined sugar. The amendment was as follo “‘Upon the making of said agreement and the iesuance of said proclamation and while said | agreement shall remain in force, there shall be levied, collected and paid, in liéu of the duties thereon now provided by law on all sugars above number 16 Dutch standard in color, and on all sugar which has gone through a pro- cess of refining, imported into the United States, one cent and 825-1000 of one cent per pound. Payne, the Republicen leader, at once made the point of order that thé amendment was He argued there had been rul- ings inuumerable against such extraneous amendments. ) Littlefield of Maine followed Payne, taking the view that the amendment was germane. He had not proceeded far 4n his argument be- fore he-aroused intense interest by -reverting 10 the report that at the Democratic caucuce last night Underwood stated that overtures had been made to him in regard to the Crumpacker /] | resolution. “An insinuation has been made here to-day, he said, “which has not been repelled as it ought to have been. I refer to the report that at the Democratic caucus last, night it was stated that approaches had come from this side of the House for the members to enter into an unholy, ungodly and fnfamous alliance to sacrifice human rights in order to ‘savé the face’ of certain leadérs or protect the profits of an aggregation of capital.”” Grosvenor of Ohlo was on his feet in an in- stant, asking Littlefield to whom he referred, when Underwood arose and was about to in- terrupt him. But the latter was appealed to by some of his Democratic collepgues and he took his seat. Littlefield, in reply to Grosvenor, said he thought Payne, the chairman of the Ways and Means Commiitee, should make a statement, and the Republican lexder was just about to do =0 when Underwood again arose. Never Made the Charge. 1 Gesire to say just one word.”_said he. have never made any such charge as the gen- now tleman repeats, either in a Democratic caucus or_elsewhere.” The Republicans applauded this statement and both Underwood and Payne sat down. ~'l have accomplished my purpose,” said Littlefield. I have succeeded in vindicating the Republican majority." He then proceeded with his argument that the Morris amendment was in order, a8 it bore directly upon the duties on sugar, which were 1o be disturbed y the proposed reduction upen Cuban sugars. Other tariff amendments, how- ever, he argued, would not be in order. He quoted a declsion of Speaker Blaine in sup- port of his contention. Grow of Pennsylvania, the venerable ex- Speaker of the House, argued that the amend- ment Was not germane because sugar was not mentioned in the original bill. Richurdson, the Demoeratic leader, contend- ed that the amendment was in order. He thought Speaker Blaine's decision was cor clusive. As Richardson concluded the Deém crats cried ‘vote, vote,” but several Repub- licans, " including Grosvenor, Olmsted and Lacey, were on their feet clamoring for recognition. Sherman of New York, who was in the chair, recognized Grosvenor, who called attention to the fact that Blaine, great as he was as a par- liamentarian, had been overruled répeatedly. Especlally with regard to his proposition that one could lead a horse to water but not make | him drink—the question of counting a quorum. Despite the impatience of the members, as evidenced by their demands for a vote, Lacey of Towa spoke briefly in support of the péint of order and urged his fellow Republicans not to play into the hands of the Democrats, who had bound themselves by caucus action Jlast night to try to open the whole question of tarlft reduction. Armond of Missour! suggested that the chalr should submit the point of order to-the House. He observed ironically that he thought the chgirman had not made up his mind. Speaking to the merits of the point of order, he argued that the real object of the rules was to facilitate matters, not to restrict or hamper a free expression on questions brought before the House. “Shether the chair rules this amendment fs in order or not,” he said, “‘we will at least find out who are for the sugar trust and who are against it."" *‘An ex-member of New York sald on a mem- orable occasion,” suggested Olmsted of Penn- sylvania, ‘‘what is the constitution between friends.”” (Laughter.) “Oh, no,"” retorted De Armond, “‘the question is how powerful is a poor lttle rule when the issue is between the sugar trust and the Amer- *ican people.”’ (Applause,) Morris of Minnesota concluded the debate on the subject of order with a strong speech against it. While he agreed with Grow that the word ‘‘sugar” was not in the bill, sugar was all over it. In a very elaborate ruling Sherman of New York, who was in the chalr, sustained the point of order. In doing €0 he cited a long line of precedents covering three-fourths of century of pariiamentary procedure in accord with his de- elston. Cheer Republican Insurgents. Asg soon at the decision was announced Taw- ney appealed from the decigion of the chair. The vote was taken by tellers. Speaker Hen. derson was the first member to pass between the tellers in support of the chair's ruling. It was an interesting spectacle as the issue wi put to the test. The. whole Democratic side Tose en masse and watched the Republicans to see how many would decline to vote with their colleagues. Not a Democrat voted to sustain the chalr. The Loulsiana delegation was the drst 10 go through (n opposition to the ch ruling. Then, trooping down a side aisle, the Republican recalcitrants, thirty-seven strong. The Democrats cheered as they went | through, When the announcement was made that the chair had been overruled—130 to 171— the Democrats and the Republican insurgents cheered. 5 A dozen Republican members were on_their feet flnurlnhln% amendments and clamoring for recognition before the applause died away, but the chair recognized Payne, the Republican floor leader. Amid profound silence he ad- dressed his Republican colleagues. He said it was useless to address the other side. The opposition cn his own side, he sald, claimed to be friendly to the beet sugar industry. THe amendment was on a proposition to reduce the ! - duty on sugar from beet sugar causes.

LONDON, Aprjl 18.—The details of the biggest. steamship deal ever consum- mated’ will be made public here to-mor- row morning., J. Pierpont: Morgan has succeeded in his project of bringing to- gether in close working agreement six of the biggest British and American, trans- Atlantic Mnes, while two of ‘the great German lines' have agreed to lenter into a harmonious working agreement that assures a ‘‘community of interests.” The | lines in the new combination are the White Star, Dominion, Leyland, Atlantic Transport, American (International Nav- igation Company) and Red Star, while the allled heartily co-operating’ are the Ham- burg-American and North German Lloyd. To every one familiar with the North Atlantle steamship situation this combi- nation. seems irresistible, Considering the fact of.the possession of the liners of the White Star, American, Hamburg-Ameri- can and North German Lloyd, the pas- senger’ situation seems absolutely in the Erasp of the new combination, while the ig fleets of epormous cargo boats be longing to the Leyland, Dominion, At-; lantic Transport and Red Star lines make a _domination of the freight situation. It is understood that the néw arrange- ments will involve no change of flag and little or no change in management, The White Star, Dominion and Leyland lines will, as heretofore, run under the British | colors. With them will be associated the Atlantic. Transport line, American line and Red Star line. Joint control of these amalgamated companies will practically be in the hands of the same men Wwho guide their separate destinies. The hearty co-operation of the two great German companies engaged in thel North Atlantic traffic is assured. The| Hamburg-American line and the North ! German Lloyd enter into harmonious “community of interests’ working one with the other, while maintaining abso- lute autonomy and nationality. * Another great vantage the new com pany will poss is the assured har- monious working arrangements with the} great raflroads of the United States, which are controlled by the same inter- ests. ‘While the combination will affect Brit- ish shipping, British shipbuilding and | shareholders in these interests it 1s thought the result will be favorable rathe; than the reverse. From a British standpoint it is realized ential rates to goods invoiced to American lines could practically boycott the British carrying trade by the new arrangement.

Both were voted down without division. The vote then recurred on the Morris amend- ent, which was adopted, amid Democratic | eers, by a vote of 164 to 111. The majority for it was so overwhelming that Payne did not nd tellers. A e fiext gurprise came from the Republican side, when Roberts of Massachusetts offered an | amendment to place hides on the free list. The Chair sustained a point of order against it, and when Roberts appealed many Democrats’ and practically all the Republicans voted to sus- tain the chair, and the chair was sustained 183 to 70. Roberts then modified his amendment o as te make it apply only to hides from Cuba, and as modified it wae held to be in order. But on a direct vote it was defeated, 120 to 186. McClellan then moved to increase the recipro- cal concession from 20 to 30 per cent. Two Republicans, Parker of New Jersey and Tomp- kine of New York, voted for the amendment and the Loulsiana Democrats and several other Democrats, eleven in all, voted against it. It was defeated, 102 to 162. Amendment and Bill Pass. Richardson then offered the Babcock bill to lace articles in the metal schedules on the rreb 1ist, also cotton bagging, binding twine, wood puip, ete. It was ruled out of order.

INGTON, April 18.—The Colom- bl::Acsaljla.l protocol, which was delivered at the State Department on April-1, and afterward recalled by Minister Concha for modifications, was again presented to Sec retary Hay to-day. The progosal as to price is set out as follows: One year after the exchange of | | ratifications of a treaty the United States shall pay Colombfa the lump sum of $7,~ 000,200. This figure will represent fourteen years' rental at $500,000 a year. At the end of the fourteen years period the pnci which the United States shall pay eac year is to be fixed by mutual consent of the two countries. In case the parties cannot agree upon a sum it will be left to an arbitrator to be selected between.the 'wo Governments. "t Fhe protocol provides for the appoint- ment of a joint committee representing Colombia ,and the United States which will arrange and provide for all matters pertaining to the administration of affairs within the proposed canal belt, including the membership of the mixed fri- bunals for the administration of justice, and other steps necessary to the Jjoint occupation of the belt. It is realized that the building of a Panama _canal would bring great numbers of persons of all sorts and conditions to the lsthmufi and for this reason it has been provide: that the policing of the strip shall be per- | formed by both American and Colombian constables, neither of these nationalities, it is held, being efficient without the aid of_the other. It is stated positively fn an authorita- tive quarter that the modifications for | which the protocol was recalled were in | no sense a retraction of any of the pro- posals embodied in it at its former pr sentation, but were in the nature of ex planations which make certain poin clearer, but do not change their effect. The retention of Colombian soversignty over the canal land is a point which has been consistently adher to all through the protocol, and nome of its provisions relinquish this sovereignty in any degree, | it is stated.
