Washington. Sept. 8. Democratic

sisted the Senate should remain N at
Work with the prospect of an all

Among the - amendments,. defeated
was that of Senator Norros for a

was reached in the free list of the bilk
Senator Ransdell in beginning his
ngnt abalnst free sugar announced he
opposed free wool also and' would
join .in - any attempt to have a-small

Senator Stone questioned Senator
RansdetTer right td ignore the agree
ment reached by the Democratic cau
cus to .support the bill. Senator Rans
dell insisted he had reserved the right
to vote as he pleased on any section
of the tariff bill. "
With the hope of passing the Under
wood-Simmons tariff, bill before an-
othe rsunrise, the Senate settled down
to a night session after working away
on the measure throughout today.
Democratic leaders had done their ut
most to Suppress general speeches and
force progress, and before tne evening
session.;. was- well under way voting
on the final -important amendments
had -begun. '
The first hint of the hnai ngnt over
free raw wool came late this afternoon
when Senator LaFollette introduced a
general -substitute Tor the wool tariff
sections, of -the underwood-Simmons
bill. ',:' An Inheritance tax amendment
offered by Senator Norris, was pend-
ng at .the, time. , and deoate alternat
ed between, the subjects for several
hOUrS. - -V ' - v X. '.: V- ; : ;'
The LaFollette wool plan came as. a
surprise to...the Democratic side. In
stead of the expected 15 per cent duty
on raw wool after - January 1st,: next,
his substitute proposed a general cut
of the woql rates based on. a 30 per
cent. raw. wool duty for iai4: . a 25
per cent duty for 1915, anfla 15 Tper
cent, duty after January 1m; 1916.
WhenSenator LaFollette concluded,
Senator Stone, in charge of the, wool
sections of the4bill, urged Democrats
to refrain f rcrrn debate. - He said the
subject ' had been, thoroughly covered
before; ; that Senator LaFollette had
refrained, from offering , nis ; amena-
ment; when; the--wool issue was being
discussed, vand - that the - tariff bill's
passage should not be delayed by the
re-opening-of the wool ngnt.
Wnen the vote came at tne night
session the -substitute was defeated
41.- to - 28 and immediately afterward
Senator LaFollette ' . offered another
amendment to . fix a straight 15 per
cent dXLtf on wool, and this was
promptly voted down 39 to 29; The
Penrose wool " substitute was defeated

Until today there had been received
at Vera Cruz no intimation that Presi

fer made by the government td'Amer;
leans last week, but, such., instructions
to the port, authorities followed a re
quest telegraphed to Mexico, City yes

were dissatisfied with the acc6mmodar

After 'a favorable .ahswer had come
from the capital some of those who
signed the petition, retused to accept
assistance on tne grounas that as
Americans they did not-feel like ac
cepting charity from the Mexican gov
ernment. V
The latest advices from the State
Department to Consul Canada are not
regarded at the consulate as altering
materially the previous instructions,
and most of: transportation provided
will continue" to be second-elass of

admits having -in possession sufficient
money he receives no aid. Among the
applicants it is not uncommon to find
those known to be well-to-do and in a
few instances wealthy, v :
The difficulties of u. obtaining first
class transportation have greatly
checked the rush out of the republic!
The number of Americans here still
is large. There are only 30 on the
Tamaulipas - whose passage has been
paid by the United States. John Lind,
President Wilson s representative, is
not inclined to think that. General
Huerta's- persistence in his plan to
finance American refugees will be re
sentedat Washington. Acting under

tal he and. Mrs. Lind continue their
sight-seeing. -
An American. W. J. Stickles, on ar?

Senor Gamboa, minister of . foreign-af

Many of these are farmers from: the
