Pages of the Tariff Bill Gone Oyer In a Whole Day -Cafferjr Preaches Democracy to Democrats. WASHINGTON, June 24.

A stubborn contest over the duties on manufactured woolen rood went on In the Senate throughout the session to-day. It was day of roll calls and cross-fire debate on the effect of advancing- rates. Many were proposed to reduce the rates, but these were rejected by decisive majorities. Less than five pares of the tariff bill were disposed of during- the day. When the consideration of the wool schedule was resumed by the Senate this morning Mr.

Vest asked Mr. Al'l-eon Iowa,) to Indicate what was to be the programme for the' future handling the Mil. Allison replied It was the purpose to romplete the wool schedule, then the silk schedule, then tobacco. When that waa done the bill would have been gone over once with some excepted paragraphs, such as lead, hides, Ac. The purpose then was to begin with the chemical and con-alder In order such paragraphs as had been passed over, Mr.

Smith N. desired that the paragraph on hides be taken up after the wool schedule, so that he might make a speech. Mr, Allison stated that an understanding on that point might be reached later In the day. A Speech by Caffery. Mr.

Caff ery La-.) was then recognised for a speech on the general subject of the course of legislation, particularly' on the tariff, to restrict Individual effort and to build up giant industries. Kef erring to the recent courve of several Democatlo Senators. Mr. luff ery said: Blr, we hear Senators on this floor be- IamiI. Tli ii 1 i ii I t'nvlv vn.lli.

iill I III, iy caw. aft Sour propositions: First, that the doctrine of free raw material is not Democratic; sec ond, inn one arueie is auuea, au ougnt to be; third, that if protection la going the rounds, Democrats might as well get the bsnstUe of It by nuking to be protected in home Industries; fourth, that there la no principle Involved In a tariff bill, but It la a mere question of schedules." Mr. Cattery examined each of these propositions, pointing out what he regarded as their fallacies, and said: Precedent and principle alike refute these propositions. Veteran Democrats who were born and will die with true Democratic faith In their' minds and hearts repudiate them. They look upon them as an effort to crucify their creed.

And like the Christian who embraces the Image of his crtclfled Savlous as the last hour of mortality approaches, so will they embrace and cling to, with a love and faith which no sophistry can destroy, and no temptation betray, the ancient doctrine of tariff for revenue only, as the nearest approach to that free trade hoped for by the Democratic tarty, The "Free Breakfast Table." Concerning sugar, Mr. Caff ery that tinder the free breakfast table cry raised by the Republican Party In 18SK), sugar, though a favorable article for Democratic revenue, was not taxed. The Republicans now wanted a revenue to stave off sliver svnd advance beets, and not to protect sugar In Louisiana." It had been admitted that the duty was for the purpose of protecting beet sugar and not cane sugar. When the time should come, if It ever waa ti come, when the protection of sugar would fall to produce revenue, what would become of the sugar Interest-? Would It be corralled, like the manufacturers, surround'' ed by a wall of protection, or would the free-breakfaat-table cry be renewed? The Senator said the sugar barons and other barons night feast for a time, but the handwriting am the wall was disclosed by the confession of the Senator from Rhode Island, (Aldrlch.) that protection was dead for anything but la It possible that we denounce plunder only to join the plunderers? That we point to the straight and honest path of Democratic duty only, and then tread the primrose path of Republican wickedness? That we abhor tin and join the sinners? Tariff for revenue only," Mr. Caffery Mid.

waa a tenet of Democracy as deeply lieounded as the Decalogue. The Democratic tariff policy waa that any contribution wrung from the people for protection, and rot for revenue, was extortion and robbery. Was It not robbery, then, when the woolen schedule placed 90 per cent, on the wearer of a hat or a coat more than he should pay; when a poor man must pay fit) to no per cent, on the pane of glass in his windows; when a poor woman was taxed IX) per cent, more than she should for a tablaciata in order to enrich the manufacturer? I believe In a tariff on luxuries," said Senator Caff ery, in conclusion. I believe In excise taxes. I believe In an Income tax.

I believe in a tariff on Imports, placed eo as to put money In the coffers of the Government and not In the pockets of the Individuals. I do not believe In protection, eve for the purpose of protecting each cltlsen In the enjoyment of legal, constitutional, and natural rights." The debate then proceeded on Paragraph f4. relating to cloths, knit fabrics. o. ilr.

Jones having offered an amendment limiting the pro visions to goods which wool Is chief component material' the amendment was rejected. 3 SZ Mr. Jones, renewed the motion in another form, the "purpose being to restrict the duties to goods made of actual wool and not of inferior materials cotton. 4k a. This led to extended controversy between Mr Allison and Mr.

Jones as to how the amounts of wool and cotton, respectively in a fabrio could be ascertained. Finally the amendment waa rejected. 22 The Supply et Raw. Wee I. Is the course of the discussion Mr, White (CjU.) naked Mr.

Allison If it was true there waa a twelve months supply of raw wool In the country, Mr. Allison replied that he had received letters stating this to be the cass Acting on this statement Mr. Jones moved to postpone for twelve months the operation of the speclflo duty provided In Paragraph SM. Mr. Vest declared that in view of the admission tbatAwelve months' supply of wool was on hand, the Immediate operation of the spec-do tax would be bold and naked robbery.

Mr. Piatt explained that the amount of wool Imported in anticipation of the passage of the Tariff bill was la the main held by speculators and not by the manufacturers, so that the latter should not be punished-by the action of the speculators. When Mr. Rawlins Utah.) asked Mr. Piatt if the Republican doctrine was that the foreigner paid the -tax.

the Con ready-madethings. almost born to this one that keep wear necticut Senator courteously asked to be excused from replying, because he said Senators who were amply able to uphold the Republican doctrine of a protective tariff were com polled te-it silent In order to secure1 the passage of the Tariff bill within a reasonable time. Mr. Allen took occasion to criticise Senators for debating Hke schoolboys on tech-' nltnlltlea of the bill. "It Is rot end nonsense" said he.

to sit here day after day and discuss this bllL" The bill should be passed as speedily as possible, that It might be exposed as the gigantic failure of the age." Mr. Jones's amendment to postpone the operation of the duty twelve months was rejected It to 27. Mr. Jones moved to make the compensatory duty on certain cloths, Ac, "twice" the amount of the duty on unwashed wool instead of three times the duty. Rejected, 1926.

Paragraph mt, relating to woolen Cloth, was then agreed to as reported, omitting "skirted In designating unwashed wools. The consideration of the paragraph had covered part of two days, and In, all about five hours. On Paragraph 363 (blankets and flannels) formal changes were made, in accordance with the previous notice of Mr. Allison. Mr.

Jones moved to confine the duties to the actual wool In the fabrics. Rejected, Vest Calls the Rates 7 Mr. Vest criticised the rates as excessive and moved to substitute the 'Wilson rates. Rejected. 2-30.

Mr. Pettlgrew S. D) gave notice of an amendment placing a tax of per cent, on articles manufactured by a trust. In Paragraphs 808 (women's and children's dress goods, cotton warp.) the rates were changed to 6U, cents per square yard goods valued at not more than 15 cents a rard, and 7Vi cents on those valued above 6 oenta a yard and SO Der oent. ad valorem.

In Paragraph 387 (w(omen's and children's btouh, wnoiiT or in part wool, tne rate increased from 9 cents to10 cents per yard and 60 per cent, ad vaiorem. Mr: Oray remarked that these heavy rates demanded an explanation, to which Mr. Allison stated that they were due, first, to the compensation required by the increased duty of raw wool, and, second, to the desire to encourage American industries at the expense, of the foreign makers. Mr. Gray exhibited samples of henrlettas, serges, and other women's dress goods, pointing out that the cost on some would be advanced from 25 to C7 cents a yard, of others from 13 to 28 cents a yard, or from $1 to $2.

on every ordinary house dress. Mr. JSTarren Wyoming,) answered that Yankee Ingenuity could produce the goods exhibited by Mr. Gray quite as well as the foreign factory, and that competition among the American-manufacturers would keep down the price to the consumer. He also spoke of the decrease of the number of sheen under the Wilson bllL If the American people submit to these outrageous rates at the polls," responded Mr.

Gray, then there are more sheep in the United States than I suspect." Mr. Jones also presented samples of dress goods, and showed the heavy Increase of nrica which would folio the imposition of these wool rates. sir. vest motion to suDsxitute the Wilson rates on women's and children's dress goods was rejected 22 to 30. In Paragraph 868, ready-made clothing, shawls, Ac, the House provision.

Including felts not woven." was restored. The rate of duty was changed from four and one-half to four times the. duty on unwashed wool, and the ad valorem duty waa changed from oo to 8S per cent. Mr. Vest said the results of these rates would be to make the tax on the ordinary wool hat over 200 per cent, of Its value.

He moved to substitute the Wilson rates. Rejected 20 to 28. On Paragraph 3C9, webbings, gorlngs, suspenders, fringes, the specific duty was changed to cents per pound and the ad valorem to 55 per cent. Mr. Vest said the effect of these rates waa to increase the coat of an ordinary pair of suspenders from 60 cents to 90 cents.

He moved to substitute the Wilson rates. Rejected 23 to 27. In Paragraph 870, relating to Aubusson, Axmlnster. moquette, and chenille carpets, the speclflo rate waa changed from 00 to 62 cents per square yard, the ad valorem being left at 40 per cent. Mr.

Vest moved to strike out the speclflo duty. Rejected 20 to 28. The bill was then laid aside, Paragraph 870 having been completed. TO AMEND SENATE RULES. Mr.

Hale Want ex-Senators as Lob-byists Debarred from the Floor of! the Senate, WASHINGTON. June the Senate to-day Mr. Hale (Maine) came forward with a surprise In the form of a proposed amendment to the Senate rules admitting to the privileges of the floor of Senate only ex-Senators who are not Interested In any claim or In the prosecution of the same, or directly In any bill pending before Congress." Added to the text of the proposed change Is the following: The purpose of the proposed amendment la to prevent ex-Senators from enjoying the privileges of the floor of the Senate for the purpose of urging or opposing olalms or bills In which they are employed as attorneys." Mr. Hale said that It was a matter of satisfaction to renew the acquaintance and the association Of Senators, who had been members of the body, but he did not think it was compatible with the dignity of the Senate that the privileges of the floor should be used by gentlemen Interested in pending legislation. If there were thoae to whom It did not apply, It would do no harm, but he feared there were those to whom it did apply.

He thought he had observed enough to justify calling attention to this subject. Mr. Hawley suggested that there might be some objection to any pointing out of ex-Senators, and Mr. Allen asked what had taken place In recent days to call attention to the subject. Mr.

Hale asked that tie be not requested to particularise. Mr. Allen declared that there bad been no more lobbying of late than there had been for years. At one time he had introduced a bill making It a crime to come on the Capitol grounds with a view to lobbying on pending measures. It was at a time when the pooling bill and other measures were bringing lobbyists from all parts of the ake It a crime covering ell lobbyists he asked.

Mr. Hale explained that be was not seeking any such drastic measure. Ha desired only to call the attention of the Senate to the desirability of being relieved from lobbying on the floor. He regarded the importunities of lobbyists of little avail to the Interests they represented, and he regarded It unfortunate that ex-Senators should be seen on the floor carrying their papers relating to pending questions. Mr.

Allen again asserted that lobbyists crowded the corridors and galleries like crows in the trees. The proposed amendment finally went over. Mr. Hale saytng that be would ask to-morrow that the amendment be referred to the Committee on Rules. "4xea HALE AROrSBS CTRIOSITT.

A DESIRE FOR THE TERRITORY Hawaiiana in Washington Think th Mikado Would to' Annex. Their Country--ltay Insist on Existing; Terms for' 1' WASHINGTON. June 2.

Tbe gist of the protest of Japan to Hawaiian annexation, which was read to the Senata Committee on Foreign Relations yesterday, is as follows: Tbe acquisition of Hawaii by annexation to the United States would deprive the resident Japanese In the Islands of rights to which are at present entitled, under the present treaty with Hawaii. At present there are 25,000 Japanese In the Islands'' with largo property rights, and under the present conditions they are entitled to become citizens pf Hawaii. In case of annexation these Japanese could not become cltU sens of the United States, as the decisions. Of United States Circuit Courts are to the effect that no Asiatic can become a cltlsen of the United States. By annexation the Japanese now resident In Hawaii would be subject to any measures that might be adopted by the United States.

They wonld lose the right to become citlsens and to citlsens in the islands' would be greatly jeopardised: therefore, the Japanese Government must firmly protest against the proposed annexation. Hawaltans In Washington Insist that the reason for the pretest of Japan against annexation is that Japan really desires to acquire the islands herself. The main point of contention between Japan and over the treaty between them, It is learned. Is as to the wording of tho treaty which Hawaii seeks to abrogate. This treaty has a provision that it may be terminated at any time fov mutual eon.

Ksent This is construed by the. Japanese uorcmmeni to mean tnat we treaty cannot be terminated without the consent of both Governments, and as long as Japan Insists upon keeping it In force It cannot be abrogated. The Hawaiian contention is that the words have no such meaning, and that any contract or agreement can be dissolved toy mutual consent as a matter of course; If the claim of Japan was valid the treaty would be in effect permanently. It is understood that Japan Insists that her present claims must be acknowledged and accepted hy the. United States in case of although protesting against annexation.

Mr. Curzon said her Majesty's Government did not feel called upon to express an opinion relative to the circumstances out of which the present situation in Hawaii had arisen. The Government was aware that a proposal to annex Hawaii to the United States had been submitted by the President of the United States for the consideration of the United States Senate-, but no decision had been Mr.

Curson added that it would be the object of Her Majesty's Government to see that whatever rights, according to International law, be- lnnr.il flraa Rrltaln an1 sv Ullw HI Jeots are fully maintained.

The mortality reported among elderly female relatives, such as grandmothers and. greataunts was not Indicated by the death notices In the newspapers.

The regiment will be rather thin to-day, and will be wen represented at the boat race. The ambulance- corps was kept busy during the forenoon. The first practical exposition on the programme was the process of divesting a' human stomach In suppositious cases of poisoning. A colored cltlsen who for a dollar had undertaken to be the subject of this experiment had evidently had the Idea, based on unlimited confidence in bis own Internal apparatus, that he could beat any auch game.

She Is heavily because everybody looks alike in uniform and the Inscrutable countenances of veteran poker players give no Indications.

Old newspapers and excelsior packing form the basis of It, representing the Intellectual and physical appetites of the soldiery because the excelsior has obvious connections with the extensive and varied assortment of empty bottles which are carefully gleaned from the garbage, and must mean a small fortune for somebody. These bottles, unfortunately, bear witness against the stringency of the enforcement of the no liquor in camp regulation.

The truth Is, there Is plenty of liquor In camp, but there has not been the faintest Indication that anybody has used too much of It. Among a thousand men accustomed to dry Ideas and ways of living there is, of course, a large consumption of fluids of many varieties and brands, but It seems to he a tact that there has not been a drunken man in camp during the week. There has been a rush of visitors to-day, and guard mount and evening parade were both witnessed by large numbers of people, more than half of them ladles, whose chief Interest seemed to be in locating men they know.
