Washington, April 28.—The first
reading of the tariff bill for consider­
ing committee amendments was con-
when the senate adjourned t>
day. According to an announcement
made when the reading began, every
final consideration next Monday. All
cooeede, however, that substantial
progress has been made. There will
be'a return to many of the schedules.
There was comparatively little debate
today, as Aldrich postponed answers to
many questions asked of him in order
to hasten the reading.
He said be
would make full explanations when the
amendments received final considera­
tion. Many provisions, including the
wood pulp and wool schedules were
passed over today on specific objection.

Washington, April 22.—Republican
criticism of the pending tariff bill on
the ground that the rates were too high
eras prominent in the senate today
when Nelson, of Minnesota, and Dol-
liver, of Iowa, attacked various sched­
ules. Under the guise of discussing
the duty on gas retorts «
bate was participated in •y Demo
-cratic senators.
I t was agreed by Mr. Aldrich that at
any time while the measure was being
considered for amendment any para­
graph might be reverted and he sub­
ject to amendment without toe neces­
sity of resorting to any formal parlia­
mentary procedure.
Nelson denounced the measure, de­
claring that the cotton, glass and wool­
en schedules were too high- He said
th a t placing duties on wobTen manufac­
tured goods 69 per cent higher than
the duty on raw wool was unjust.
Gal linger energetically declared that
that waa toe seme spirit that actuated
New England with its criticism of any
effort to redoes tl* high rates that had
prevailed upon her products.
Dolliver declared that not only were
the duties at the Payne-Aldrich bill too
high, but they were so warded as to
result in large increases of rates with­
o u t definite indication of such increases
in the schedules.
Wednesday, April 21.
Washington, April 21.—Substantial
progress was made by the senate today
in considering the tariff bill. No sen­
ator being prepared to speak on the
bill as a whole, the reading of the meas­
ure by paragraphs began. The various
items in the chemical schedules were
passed over for future consideration.
The reeding was frequently interrupt­
ed by the discussion of amendments
and only 18 pages of the bill were dis­
posed of. Cummins presented his in­
come tax provision and dieeuaeed it at
length.
Aldrich stated be would ask to have
passed over for future consideration
any provision that might be objected
to. I t was agreed that any amend­
ment to which there should bo objec­
tio n should be passed over with the un­
derstanding that any senator might
move a t any time to take up any para­
graph after it had been reed.
Dolliver suggested that the recipro­
city and retaliatory cisueee and the
drawback and then dministrmtive feat­
ures of the bill should be reported by
the finance committee before the bill
Tuesday, April 20.
Washington, April 20.—The census
bill was sent back to conference by
the senate today in order that its
amendments relating to the civil ser­
vice law and requiring the construc­
tion of a building for the census work
in this city might be considered fur­
ther.
By en «ye and nay vote, the senate
«ejected the conference report because
o f its failure to include the MeCumber
amendment, requiring applicants for
civil service employment to reside in

showing that under the bill, which
omits any new forms of taxation, and
with a reduction tn expenses to be
effected by economy, the government
will have a surplus of $80,000,000 in
the fiscal year 1911. He declared that
appropriations in the last few years
had been extravagant, and that no new
taxes wars necessary. Daniel criti­
cised the majority of the committee
for not admitting the Democarts to the
sessions a t which the bill was drafted.
He practically conceded the sounanees
of the protection theory, by admitting
that the tariff should equal the differ­
ence in the coat of production a t home
and abroad, but said tbs bill did not
equally safeguard all interests.
At the conclusion of Aldrich’s state­
ment, Daniel, the ranking minority
leader of the finance committee, a r­
raigned the Bepub Mean members of
the committee for their exclusion of
the Democratic members during the
consideration of the bill.
A t the conclusion of Daniel's re-
mafks, Aldrich sent to the clerk’s desk
a copy of a newspaper dated April 21,
1894, in which Senator Vorbees and
Senator Vest had defended the Demo­
cratic procedure in framing the Wilson
bill to be reported to the senate without
the participation of the Republican
minority.

Surrenders All Power to Parliament
and Awaits Decision.
Constantinople, April 28. — The*
Young Turks have won another vie-
ry over Sultan Abdul Hamid, but
whether the sultan will remain as sov­
ereign is yet to be decided, although
ho bee offered to place the affairs of
vemment entirely In the hands of
ministers’ responsible to parliament.
The sultan also agrees to replace tbs
Constantinople garrishm with troops
that have been investing1 the city for
four days.
The chamber of deputies and some of
the senators mat today a t San Stefano
and are now discussing the question of
deposing the sultan.
The concentration of the investing
army is complete and doubtless the
next 24 hours will decide the fate of
the sultan, who remains passively a t
his palace, awaiting the issue.
For the present there need be little
fear at bloodshed within the city, but
there is much to be feared from the
riots and massacres that now are
sweeping over the districts under Turk­
ish domination.
