PROGRESSIVES ARE BEATEN Trn of Them Vote With Democrat Persistently Daniel Causes Sur prise by Proposing to Increase Duty. ' WASHINGTON. May 3r.-The 5Vnate di tril.uted its attention today anionic the three Items in the tariff bill providing a duty on an extract of chestnut bark uwd ,in tanning known as quebrache. on cot tonseed oil and on white lead.' On each of these articles the. 3enate was led by the committee on finance. althousTh the. committee was induced to charge Its original suirgeetlons on both white lead and cottonseed oil. Aldricb Makes Concession. The lead duty fixed, by the committee was originally 2T cents -a pound, but Curtis, a member of the, committee, mig rated a reduction of cent a pound. fcrlnRins; the flsure down to 2i cents and Chairman AJdrich accepted the reduction. When th vote was taken, the com mittee triumphed. 41 to 32. As usual Bmrld Brietow, Brown. Burkett. Clapp. Cummins. Dolllver. Gamble. La Kollette and Kelson voted with the Democrats. Borah voted with the Re publicans. Contest on Cottonseed OH. - rrobally the most lnterestlnar contest was over the duty on cottonseed oil. Tillman. Bacon and Money fought the ttenate provision fixing a tariff of 3 cents a gallon, on the ground that tt would injure the sale of cottonseed, and. after the controversy had gone on for aome time AJdrich withdrew the proWlon. LaFollette sought to reduce the duty on Quebrache to one-quarter of 1 cent a pound, but his amendment was rejected. 29 to 38. DankJ led the fight for a higher , rate, exciting much interest because of ; Jiis advocacy of low duties In the past. He did not succeed and the duty was i fixed at half a cent per pound Instead of 7 of a cent as lie proposed. Aldricli's Retort to Tillman. Tillman proffered some advice to Ald " rich at the close of the day, after the ' finance committee's triumph on whits Jead. "We have." said Tillman. "Just spent the best part of a day In a useless wrangle resulting In the usual victory for the astute manager In control of the bill. I want to suggest that he might get a. good many more votes if he would In dorse the rule which forbids a Senator to epeak. mors than twice on the same sub ject." "I am surprised." said Aldrlch in reply, "that I do not deserve the suggestion and criticism of the Senator from South Caro lina." Aldrich said that It was his Intention at an early day to satisfy the Senator from South Carolina by moving that the tariff bill should be proceeded with "mornlnc afternoon and night until dis posed of." " JOHNSON'S SI,CR OX BAII.KY Minnesota's fiovernor Exonerates AH e Southerner but Flerjr Texan. ST. PAUL, ilay 3D Governor John A. Johnson, when asked today If he had read the statement made In the I'nlted Stntes Senate yesterday by Senator ituiley of Texas, criticising the Governor for making alleged untruthful statements in regard to the minority In the Senate in its attitude toward the tariff bill, said: "So far as Mr. Bailey is concerned I do not care to make any denial of the charges he makes, but I do care to have other Senators In the South know I did not make the statements that the rail ways of the South influenced any of the Southern ifenators. Nor did I make any statements reflecting on any Senator from the South or any other section." French Imports Increase. WASHINGTON. May 10.
