VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF BILL WAS 247 TO 52 THE ALLEGATION THAT THE CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION WAS USED IN A "BARGAIN" PROVES TO HAVE BEEN BUNCOBBE TALK. MERE Washington, April 18. When the house met today at 11 o'clock there was a ppospect of a (memorable session ahead. The general debate upon the Cuban reciprocity bill was to close at 3 o'clock and it was the intention of the 'leaders, if possible, to hold th house in session until the finial vote was taken. The action of the democratic caucus last night, which decideoVto vote solidly for the removal of the differen tial on refined sugar, gave the leaders much confusion as they were unable to figure out exactly what strength the ; proposition had on the republican side. iThe disclosures of Mr. Underwood last (night relative to overtures made to the j democrats on the basis of an aJban idonment of the Crumpacker resolution j added ta new complication to the situ ation, and there seemed a likelihood that it might figure in the debate to ;day in a sensational fashion. The , whole atmosphere ,of the house in fact jwas charged with electricity and pre j saged the coming storm. Mr. Richard son of Tennessee, the democratic lead er, was the first speaker today. He made a careful, dispassionate speech explaining why he had voted in j favor of reporting the bill., He stated . frankly that he doubted whether, the enactment of the bill would do much to l&ring about the reciprocity trade rela ftions between Cuba and the United States, which was earnestly to be de ' sired. But he had voted for it in the i of the Dingley law so far as Cuba was ' concerned. These high rates could not stand and he said Mr. Grosvenor's speech a few days ago was a warning of the coming storm. He thought the time for a revision of the tariff was at hand and that the fact that the pending bill began it in Ja 'modest way commended the measure to jhim. Mr. Richardson called attention to the action of two counties in the dis trict of Mr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, en dorsing the latter' s bill to remove the duties from steel, and amid democratic applause he said that . the democrats 'proposed to give Mr. Babcock an op portunity later on to vote for the bill his constituents had endorsed. He also outlined the democratic program rel ative to offering an amendment to I abolish the differential duty on refined sugar. If this amendment carried, he said, five or six million dollars would be taken from the sugar refiners and given to the American consumers of sugar. Just before Mr. Richardson took his seat, Mr. Bromwell, of Ohio, asked him this question: "Does the gentleman from Tennessee know anything of a reported bargain between the leaders on this side and the democrats on that, by which the Crumpacker resolution is to be smoth ered in order to aid the passage of the pending bill?" . "Absolutely nothing," replied Mr. Richardson. Mr. Fordney, of Michiga, opposed the bill. Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, aroused con siderable excitement by bringing for ward the revelation made in the demo cratic caucus last night concerning the alleged overtures made from the re publican side to abandon the Crum packer resolution if the democrats from the states threatened would vote against overruling the chaiir.

It was only when the concession was reduced five per cant further that he was induced Iffc support it. In other words, said Mr A Hepburn, had it not been for the last nickel of reduction the gentleman froitjf Ohio, .to quote his own language; would today have been with the insurgent attempting to divide the republican party and to destroy it. - ag "Great God!" exclaimed Mr. Hepburni yjn wiiL a stenaer xnreaa nang ever lasting things." (Great laughter, an applause . ) Mr. Hepburn also- satirized the two and a half hour speech of Mi$ Long, of Kansas, which he described as a "great physical effort," which beS fitted the Kansas -sta:tesrrAor championship intheprUe; ring, undef the Marquis of Queensbury fules. He denounced the 'feature 'df the bill to compel Cuba to accept our immigration laws when the greatest ' need of Cuba today was labor. If the' -Yankee was what he sometimes was said to be4- cunning, grasping, avarackxus and adroit then he would say this section of the bill had been written by a Yankee." The remainifte time, after Mr. Hero- burn concluded two "hours and twenty minutes was divided equally between Mr. Tawney (Minn.), who closed the debate against the bill, and Mr. Dal- zell (Pa.), who concluded for the meas ure. Mr. Tawney, at the outset, defended the course of those on the republican side who had not surrendered their convictions that "thrift might follow fawning." Jar. Tawney argued that if the best sugar industry were properly protect ed, in a few years it would supply 'tbe entire domestic consumption, It -was for this reason; he declared, that the sugar trust . was seeking, through; the agency of this bill, to cripple and; de stroy its great rival of the futurei Mr. DaJzeft. insisted that It was- our duty now that Cuba was to be setitip- on the high: road of the- world to pieft era! of the senators came Into the chamber. The galleries had also filled to overflowing and almost every mem ber was in his seat. Repeatedly he stirred the friends of the bill to ap plause Mr. Dalzell, in closing the debate for the friends of the bill, declared that it jwas not an attack upon protection. "It is not a revision of the existing tariff law or its schedules. It will not harm a single American industry or deprive an American workman of a single day's wage. This bill contains a single propf osition lor reciprocity trade relations, and is justified on plain business prin ciples. But it is more than that. It is a step toward the redemption of the pledge we made, not to Cuba, but to ourselves, when we volunteered to in tervene to fight the wrongs which she was suffering under the Spanish regime. The united vote of the minority and the beet sugar republicans was suffi cient to override the ruling of Chair man Sherman and attach an amend ment to the reciprocity bill 'abolishing the differential duty on refined sugar during the existence of the reciprocity treaty with Cuba. With that amend ment added the bill passed, 257 to 52. The combination was exerted only on the motion of Morris (Minn.) to strike off the differentials, ail other amend ments being either ruled out or voted down. It was shown first and most effectively in committee of the whole, when, after Chairman Sherman had ruled the Morris amendment out of or der, he was reversed on appeal by Morris, over thirty republicans joining the democrats. in sustaining the appeal.
