elded today to postpono until June 10

In connection with tho tariff. Consid
eration of tho sugar schedulo waa con
tinued, but after two amendments were
voted unon tho senate switched to a
discussion of the possibility of getting
a vote on tho Bailey Incomo ux amend
ment. Bailey argued forcibly for a
vote, but did not succeed In prevailing
upon Aldrich to concede a vote In ad
vance ot tho larlir schedule.
Tho two amendments to the sugar
schedule voted upon were those elim
inating the Dutch standard teat and
lowering the duty on refined sugar
from 1.0 cents per pound to tl.81iU
cents per pound. Both wero defeated,

than seven hours today the senate dis
cussed sugar as that subject is in
volved in the pending tariff bill. Be
ginning with an effort by McEnory, the
Louisiana Democrat Protectionist,
there wero four set speeches. Three
supported tho sugar schedulo as report
ed from the committee on finance,
while tho fourth was a plea for mate
rial reductions.
In completing his speech of yester
day, McEncry mads an earnest plea for
stilt protection, not only because of tho
necosslty for such a policy in tho In
terest of tho rovenue, but because, ho
declared, such a course would render
tho United States independent of other
countries. Ho asserted that thero had
been a chango of sentiment in tho
South on the subject of protection.
Urlstow followed. While McEnery.
n Democrat, had spoken for a high and
protective rate on sugar, tho Kansas
senator, a Republican, advocated a re
duction. Burrows, of Michigan, and Smoot,
of Utah, both members of the (banco
committee, also spoko In support of tho
committee's action. Smoot presented
a carefully prepared analysis of tho
situation, and Burrows appealed moro
particularly to popular sentiment.

tobacco manufacturers or dealers from
using tho coupon or premium system to
stimulate talcs,
Tuesday, May 26,

on tho subject, whllo mode by Demo
crats, advocated a high tariff on sugar
of all grades, Tho portion of tho lum
ber schedule which has not been voted
upon was passed over, as tho finance
committee contemplates further
amendments.
Defending his views that tho pledges
of tho Republican party wero for a re
vision of tho tariff downward, Bev
orldgo quoted from various utterances
by Mr. Taft to show that on numerous
occasions tho President had callcd( at
tontlon to tho nood of revising tho du
ties downward.

WASHINGTON LOSES
Sapreme Court Upfields QregM
In Boindary CoRtreversy,
FISHING TANGLE NOW CLEARE1
Decision That Sand Island Is Oregon
Soil Rsmovss Dispute Over
Qame Laws.
Washington, May 25. The United
States Supreme court yesterday declin
ed to grant a rehearing in tho Oregon
Washington boundary case Involving
tho location of Uie state line near tta
mouth of Uie Columbia river. Shortly
after Uie court decided this question in
favor of Oregon's contention, ex-Senator
Turner, of Washington, filed a
motion for a re-hearing on behalf of
bis state, and with that motion he filed
a brief setting forth the alleged new
ground) upon which Uie case ahould bo
re-opened.
The court, however, holds that the
question Involved is so simple, and the
facts so apparent, that there is no
ground whatever for Uie contention of
Washington, and it therefore declines
to give further attention to the contro
versy. There ia no possible farther
appeal from yesterday's action, there
fore Oregon's claim to Sand island and
other disputed fishing grounds in the
lower Columbia ia finally established.
Judgo Brewer advised that Uie two
states should follow Uie plan of the
Southern states bordering on the Mis
sissippi river and ask congress to ap
point a commission to determine all
Uie niceties of Uie question.
Meanwhile Uie court's decision in
favor of Oregon will control and will
have the effect of giving to that state
jurisdiction over tho disputed territory.
