Friday, June 4 .
Washington, June 4.— Although A l­
drich has indicated the tactics he in­
tends to pursue to kill the income tax
-amendments to the tariff bill in the
senate, and although be has demon­
strated his ability to get votes enough
to accomplish h i purpoee, those sena­
tors who sincerely believe in income
tax legislation and who have bad the
. courage to stand by their convictions
still hope against hope that at the crit­
ical time they will muster enough
strength to secure the adoption o f their
pet measure. This is optimism in the
extreme degree.
Through forenoon, afternoon and
evening sessions the senate today
labored on the cotton schedule. La
Follette completed his long speech, at­
tacking changes in the Dingley rates
recommended by the senate finance
mmnaittTt
The senate adopted LaFollette’s
resolution calling on the president to
send to the senate correspondence be­
tween the state department and the
German government, or its represen­
tatives, relating to the German report
on wages.

w as the center around which a storm
raged in the senate today and tonight.
In the afternoon be resumed his speech
in opposition to the cotton schedule,
but was forced by exhaustion to sus­
pend. When he resumed he made a
violent attack on the “ autocracy of
the senate,’ * aiming his attack directly
at Aldrich.
An amendment by Aldrich placing a
duty o f 85 per cent ad valorem on tam­
pico when mixed with other vegetable
substances .was adopted. The para­
graph on furs was changed so as to
levy a duty o f 20 per cent ad valorem
on dog, gust or sheepskins which have
been sewed together, instead o f 85 per
cent duty, as reported by the finance
committee.
'
Aldrich offered a substitute for the
parargnph placing a duty o f 60 per
cent ad valorem on jewelry, by which
spécifié rates were placed on a long list
o f articles o f jewelry. Aldrich said
the new paragraph would prevent un­
der-valuation and would increase the
revenue. It was agreed to.
The most important amendment
adopted was a reduction o f the duty on
common gloves for women and children
from 81.75 to |1.25 per dosen. The
rest o f the glove schedule, which was
' a restoration o f the Dingley rates in
place o f the bouse rates, which were
considerably higher, was agreed to.
The amendment was offered by Al­
drich.
Quilts were made dutiable at 86 per
cent ad valorem and a 50 per cent duty
was placed on combs o f horn or metal,
on which the house rate was 40 per
cent. The committee amendments to
the paragraphs on works o f art were
agreed to.

Wednesday, June 2.
Washington, June 2.— With the
adoption o f a resolution providing-for
day and night sessions beginning to­
morrow, the senate heard today a sug­
gestion o f a policy for limiting dila­
tory SMtiooa which paused an earnest
protest from Bacon and others. The
vice-president, basing his action upou,
a precedent made in the last congress,
when the Aldrich-Vreeland fair cur­
rency bill was under discussion, held
that attention could not be called to
the absence o f a quorum if the senator
occupying the floor declined to yield
for that purpose. Bacon declared this
was one of the revolutionary rulings
when the currency bill was under con­
sideration and that under it there would
be serious abuse o f rules.
A long speech dealing with the
pledge o f party leaders was begun by
LaFollette and will be continued to­
morrow. By numerous quotations he
maintained that no question could be
raised as to the pledge o f the party for
a revision downward jmd declared that
before he should conclude his speech,

whole, the pending bill placed, the cus­
toms duties above the Dingley rates.

with tomorrow, the senate began, con­
sideration o f the cqtton doth schedule
today. Smoot and Lodge, both major­
ity members o f the finance committee,
were the principal orators and both
spoke in support o f the committee pre­
visions. Lodge spoke o f the general
policy o f thb Republican party ,wjth
reference to tariff revision. He'con­
tended that the purpoee o f the party
had been merely eo to revise the tariff
ae to protect American'manufacturera
against cheap foreign labor.
Senator Jones today introduced an
amendment to the tariff bill, placing
Calcutta grain sacks on the free Hat.
I f this amendment is voted down he
will propose another .reducing the pres­
ent duty from 1.76 cents to
cents
on sacks and reducing the duty on bur­
lap from 1.48 cents per pound to \
cent. This la intended to cheapen baga
to the wheat growers o f the Northwest.
Cotton minimums were reduced from
25 to 26 per cent ad valorem on sug­
gestion o f Aldrich, following which a
clash ensued between the Rhode Island
senator and Dolllver, when the latter
attempted to secure an amendment re­
placing with ad valorem rate« a line o f

Washington, May 81.—Agreements
were reached in the senate today upon
many sections o f the tariff bill, so that
as the hour* for adjournment ap­

agriculture were nearly.all disposed of.
More than two hoars 'were consumed
by a debate on the proposition to in­
crease the duty on lemons from 1 sent
a pound, as provided by the Dingley
law, to 1 % cento a pound, and after
earnest opposition by Root, the in­
crease recommended by the committee
was'sostained 48 to 28.
Among other duties affected was that
on dried peas, which was reduced from
80 to 25 cents per bushel. The duties
on chicory root, chocolate and cocoa
were reduced, as was that on salt, from
12 to 10 cents per 100 pounds in bags
and from 10 to 8 cents in bulk.
