THE SENATE PUTS SUGAR ON THE DUTIABLE UST. All Amendments to the Finance Corn inittee'H Proposition Voted Down and That Adopted I he Senate Passes the Hudson River Bridge Dill Debate on the State Bank Tax Closed. SENATE. asiiinoton, June 5. The first busi ness of the Senate to-day was the passage of the substitute bill authorizing the con struction of a bridge over the Hudson river, between New York city and New Jersey. A conference was asked and Sen ators Vest, Murphy and Frye were ap pointed conferees. The tariff bill was then taken up, the question being on the Jones amendment to the sugar schedule, postponing its go ing into effect from July 1, 1894, to Jan uary 1. 1895. Senator Iliggins opened the time-killing debate. In the discuss ion of the po sition of the Louisiana Senators on the sugar question, a remark of Senator Ilig gins brought out an explanation from Senator Blanchard, to the effect that he had voted in the House against a repeal of the Sugar bounty, but had subse quently vcted for the bill in expectation and hope that the Senate would again put sugar onjthe dutiable list. Senator Aldrich sent to thedesk and had read the following telegram received by him from David S. Forris?, secretary to the planters' convention recently held in New Orleans: 'Lamsire, La., June 4, 1S94. "To Hon. X. IP. Aldrich: "Tlie great majority of sugsr planters of this State favor the bounty or demand its equivalent, as the 'present schedule means ruin. The sugar convention never passed any resolutions endorsing the acts of Senators Caffery or Blanchard on their present stand. We simply appreci ated their services, but approve the stand of Congressmen Price, Davey, Robertson and Meyer on their vote against free sugar and in favor of bounty. I refer you to the published proceedings of the convention sent you. I authorize you to use this telegram if J you wiali. UAVIS O. r EKKISS. Senator Aid rich then went into an elab orate discussion of the sugar provisions t5 show that they would result in large benefits to the Sugar trust. In the course of his remarks the sugar scandal was again brought up by a ques tion of Senator Hale, and Senator Vest recalled the condition of things during the pendency of the McKinley Tariff law. There was then, he said, a dupli cate of the present condition the same lies, the same fabrications, the same at tacks upon public men, the charge that the Committee on Ways and Means in the House was receiving representatives of the refiners through the back door md the charge that the Senate Finance committee was biiog improperly in fluenced, "So that all this siuif about there ln?ing no paralied to the case amounts to nothing." He supported his assertions with extracts from Republi can newspapers of lb(JO condemning the action of the Senate in increasing the protection to the sugar interests from 16 cents per 100 pounds to CO cents. Then Senator Sherman got into the dis cussion in an attempt to prove that there was no Sugar trust in 1890; but he was immediately met by his Democratic col league Bri?e) who asserted positively that the Sugar trust or commission was then in e-xistence, having a capitalization of $SO.O00;9OO and when the Sugar trust had made its arrangements witfi the Sen ate committee then controlling the McKinley bill, the price of -stock rose fromiGS to:95. Senator Vest charged Senator Aldrich with wanting to retain the McKinley act, "paradise of the trust.'" with 0 cents per luO pounds on refined sugar and with raw tugar free. The Vice President here-Ptatedthat the a hour had arrived, 1 o'clock p. m., for beginning to vote on the forgar schedule and that the question wasenthe amend ment offered by Senator Jones postpon ing the repeal of the sugar bounty pro vision from July 1, 1894, .to January 1, 1895. The vote was taken and the result 1 was 38 to 31. A f series cf amendments were then of fered bv Senators Minderson and Alli son Jookine to the retention and to the gradual extinction of the -sugar bounty. All were resected. Then the question recurred on the amendment offered bv Senator Jones, inserting as an additional paragraph 1825 the following: "On and -after January 1, 1893, there shall be levied, collected, and paid on all sugarc and on all tank bottoms, syrups of care iuice or of beat uice, melada. concentrated nelada, concrete and con centrated mok-es. a duty of 40 percent ad valorem, and upon all sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard mccuor. and upon all suiars which have bees, discolored there shall be tevied, collected and paid, a duty of 1-8 cent per pound in additioa to the said dutv of 40 per cent, ad valo rem: an J all sugars, tant bottoms, vrups of cane juice or of beet Juice, mela da, concentrated cnelada, concrete or con centrated ciolassee, which are imported from or are the product of tny nation which at tha time the same are exported therefrom pays, directly or indirectly, a bounty on the export thereof, shall pay a duty of 1-10 cent per pound in ad dition to the foregoing rates; (with pro viso that it shill not apply to Hawaiian exports): that on and after January 1, 1895 there shall be levied, collected and paid ou molasses testing above 4 degrees and not above 56 degrees polariscope. a duty of 2 cents per gallon; if testing above 56 degrees polariscope, a duty of cents per gallon. ' Senator PeHer moved to amena me amendment by a provision that all sugar shall be on the free list defeated by a j v jie oi la o. Senator Alli-ion moved to etrike out the words: On and after January 1, into effect with the passage of the bill. rejected by vote of 30 to 8. Senator Petti grew offered an amend ment to strike out the provision for ad ditional duties on 6Ugar above No. 16 Dutch standard, remarking that it would reduce by so much the proSt3 of the sugar trust rejected, 30 to 33. Senator Chandler began another speech with the remarks: "The sugar show is about to close. The Populists have got free barbed fence wire and free lumber. The Democrats have got the Populists. And the Sugar trust has got them all.' (General laughter.) Senator Aldrich began in this way: 4It is evident that the die is cast. The spectacle of a great party hopeless and helpless, in the contiol of influences out side of this Chamber, must be a humili ating one to the American people; but the fact of their existence is present and known to every man in the United States. If Senators on the others side of the aisle could vote on this schedule according to their conscience and judg ment, it would receive their almost universal condemnation. Not over six j Senators on that side believe in the jus- i equity oi ii. jjul imiueuces, not known to the organization of this Cham m rt . : . . n.. a. n a. ' ber, have demanded that certain pro visions shall be put in the statutes of the United States, and the members of a! great party craventlv submit to these Senator Palmer replied, with a show of indignation, to the charges aimed at Democratic Senators by Senators Hale,1 Aldrich and Chandler "the licensed Thersites of this body." Finally, the question was taken on th Jones amendment, and it was agreedjto yeas, 35; nays, 28. Paragraph 183 was amended by in creasing the duty on sugar candy,, etc. , from 30 to 35 per cent, ad valorem and by adding the words: "Saccharine, 23 percent, au valorem. j That finished the sugar schedule and! brought the Senate up to the tobacco schedule. ' The Senate then at 6:05 o'clock ad journed until to-morrow at 10 o'clock a. m. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Immediately after the routine morning business of the House Mr, Catchings re ported from the Committee on Rules an order respecting the further consid eration of the bill to repeal the State bank tax. It provided for discussion throughout to-days session under the i philanthropic and the Dialectic socie five minutes rule, tfe vote on pending , . , amendments and passage to be taken in? tie3 held an oratorical contest at which mediately after assembling of the House ffthe speakers were H. H. Home of Johns- to-morrow. Leave to print remarks onAjn James O. Carr of Duplin and L. C. the bill was granted to all membersrthe privilege to extend over a period oi ten days. I After a short debate between Messrs. Reed and Catchings the resolution was agreed to 93 to 71, Mr. Springer presented the substitute of the Committee on Banking and Cur rency, the original Brawley bill as fol lows: That the operation of settions 3412 and 3413, Revised Statutes and sections 19, 20 and 21 of the "Ac: to Amend Exist ing Customs and International Revenue Laws," approved February 8, 1875, and other sections of the said Revised Stat utes, and all acts and parts of acts im posing a tax of 10 per cent, on the amount of certain notes when used for circulation and paid out, be and are hereby suspended as to any such notes which were originally issued between August 1, 1893, and October 15, 1893; and no such tax shall collected on the amount of any such notes; provided that nothing herein shall suspend the op eration of such acts as to the tax on amount of anv such notes paid out and used for circulation after January 1. 1894. Mr. Cox. ottered his amendment, re pealing ail iaws and parts of laws which impose a tax upon State bank circula tion. ! Mr. Bowers said the bill was intended as a premium upon the violation of laws, a notification to tne banks that, having made their pile, the penalty of the law would not be enforced against them for subsequent violations. Mr. Livingston said the 10 per cent, tax law should be repealed because it was intended as a measure of protection to the National bank system, and that system no longer needed protection. Mr. Talbert said he would vote for the Brawley bill and for the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax for the reason that the lat ter was in the Democratic platform. For him, he said, party platforms were made not oriy to get in on, but to stand on after he got in. . Mr. Brodericktsaid the bill was obnox ious; -it was class legislation of the worst sort. If the tax was a good thing when passed, it should be enforced cntil the law had been repealed. The tmendmett sought to be made -earlier by Mr. Cox was then agrosd to. Mr. Campbell had read a letter from. Conrad N. Jordan, er-United States Treasurer, and president of the Western JTational bank, Gf New ork, favoring the repeal of the tax law. Mr. Gear gave leaf or two from his personal experience with the issaes of State banks in ante-war tiaies as reasons why. in I1 is opinion, the people of the country would not return willingly to that system of currency. j Ja concluding, 3Ir. Harter pleaded with Republicans, upon patriotic grounds, to vote for the repeal of the tax law, as serting that with the accomplishment of that purpose would disappear the green back craze and the free silver craze. I Mr. Bland Not a bit of it. Mr. Harter I want to say that no man on the floor of tke House gives up so much in voting for this bill as does the gentleman from Missouri. A candi date for the Presidency cheers and ap plause! the moment he votes for this bill his platform disappears from beneath his feet nevermore to appear, Laughter and applause. . .

Stocks and Bonds In New York The Grain and prortloo 3farketa j ofChicaxr. New Yohk. June 5. Yesterday ac tivity in the railway 'list and the pro minent part taken by Ixmdon in bring ing about this result led commiion houses to extn-ct an increased buires in this clasi of stock, especially aa Con gress seems disposed to deal more leni ently with railroads, at lean o far a the making of rates is concern 1 The open ing of the market however, quickly put an end to the idea that the deal in the Industrials was over, and that their place in current speculation had been usurped by tlie so-called standard stocks. Sugar, which closed at 102i, started off 1 percent, higher, 2,000 shares tilling at 10"S. This was the key note of thdav. the Industrials jumping to the front, while the railroad ismes gave! wav to occupy a subordinate ioition throughout. Ixndon turned teller of the! stocks it bought yesterday. This proved a disappointment to opera tors who had bought on the alleged change of fronton the part of foreigners, and the sales by this contingent &ssitd in keeping prices down, notwithstanding the remarkable strength of Sugar." After the op?ning Sugar sold up to 105 1-2, re- ceeded to 104 7-8. rose to 100 5-8, fell to 104 3 4, advanced to 100 7-8, and closed at 100 34, a net gain of 3 1-4 per cent. for the dav. It figured for 110,2o0 shares in a grand total of 205.514 for the entire list. Chicago Gas, which was next figured for 25,700 sharts. The day ended without bringing foxth anv new ; a! 1 ' l reason lor uie auvance m ougar. w nas been contended ever since the t-tock has sold in the neighborhood of 0 that the Sugar refining inter st would be accorded ample protection by the Senate, To-day a belated short interest finally came to this, conclusion ana tne covering tor tneir account was the board room rason assigned for the great strength of the certificates. Chi- cago Gas showed fresh signs of liquida tion and sold down to i4, closing at 4i. Lead, Cordage, Whiskey and General Electric were all firmer, more particu larly Llectric, -which closed at 30f . In the Grangers comparatively heavy trans actions were reported in St. Paul, and Bur lington within a narrow radius. One firm bought 5,000 shares of Quincy, said to be I the last of a big line of shorts put out at higher hgures. .New lors Lentrai was weaker than the other trunk lints, but the dealings in the stock market were licrht. The market left eff-strong for Sugar and about steady for the general list. Net changes outside of Sugar show declines of 4 to per cent The bond market was higher. Sales of listed I stocks aggregated 83,000 shares ;unli5 ted, Chicago, June 5. Wheat scored an other advance to-day, and although the bulls made complaint that the advance was not proportionate to the value of the news, still they were satisfied that prices closed jc higher than they did yesterday. There were many influences at work and it would not have been suprising had there been a more substantial upturn. The unseasonable cold weather of last night, the predictions of frost made by the Washington -weather bureau for to night, a bullish State report from Iowa, not to speak of a mournful wail from the Kansas I millers, who fear that stocks in sight will not carry them over until the new crop begins to arrive, would aptear to be deserving of greater rtcgniuon than that which was accorded. Cables were also more encouraging. July wheat opened at 5Gc, sold between 56 and 50f to 5Ggc, closing at 5C to 50 Jc, with the gain above noted. Cah wheat was in good demand. Prices were rela tively higher at the futures. Corn, although feeling the effects of the cold weather, and the prospective frosts, obtained roost of its strength from wheat and oats, more noticeably the lat ter. The buying was for the most part to cover short contracts, many promi nent operators acting conspicuously on that side. July opened at 38 c. ad vanced to 39 1 c and closed to lc higher than yesterday at 39x bid. Cash corn was m good demand and about lc higher. The oats market was the 6tar attrac tion on the floor to-day. The near-by deliveries (June and July) were advanced to an unusual extent, the more remote options not keeping up with the pace. The decreasing stocks and the continued emphatic reports of damage to the grow ing crop was the animus. June oata closed 2c higher than yesterday, July lc higher and September $e higher. Cash oats were in good demand and up with the futures. Provisions felt the stimulating effect of-the buoyant grain market. At the opening strength was derived from the yards market, where hogs were higher. Later, the encouraging condition of the wheat, corn and oats markets, wan pro ductive of a similar feeling in provisions. The trading was without fetture of especial interest. July pork closed 17$c higher than yesterday. July lard 2rc. July ribs 7fc higher. There was a good cash demand for product. An Attempt to Murder. yipecisl to Ue ifeanrerr. Clinton, N. C, June 1.
