Dolllver Loses by Close Vote on Mo tion to Strike Out Duty on Mer;er Ized Cotton Progressives Gain Con cession From Finance Committee In Removal of Rubber Goods From Cot ton Schedule. Washington, June 8. Tho sennte chamber was again trnnBformed Into a mental arena and Senator Alurtih, loading tho conservatives, and Senator Bovorldgo, heading tho prgrcsslves, Dovoridge, heading the progressives, senators woro frequently on their ltet and thoro wero many sharp conflicts between them. Beginning the session of tho day i with n vote on tho recommendation oi his committee for a duty of 3 cents n square ynrd and 20 per cent ad va lorem on tho fabric known ns window hollnnds, Senator Aldrlch was appar cintly eomowhat encouraged over the prospect of making decided liehdwn at tho cotton schedule. Ills hopes woro, h6 witter, doomed to early dibap pedntment, for only a fow moments nftorwnulB Bovorldgo took tho floor and before ho concluded had opened such a gap thnt tho Rhodo Island .;n ntor himself could not resist tho op portunity to wnlk in. Boverldgb iinv ing said ho had been Inclined tp bup port tho recommendations of the flnnnco committee, the admission led tho chairman of tho committee to say the ImUnnn senator had not shown his Inclination by his vote. Coming back, tho Indiana senator asserted his right to follow his conscience rather than tho leadership of any individual. From that tlmo forward the two sonntors were engaged In Joint debate much of tho tjmo during the day. In tho couise of his remarks Aldricn, while contondlng that many prohibi tive tariffs woro Justified, said he never had favored a prohibitive policy. Ho predicted that in tlmo tho south would become tho greatest manufact urer of tho line grades of cotton goods. Replying to this nssertlon, Senator Bacon declared that If even Biich should provo to bo tho case, ho wpuln not favor any Increase of tho customs duties. Ho believed that natural con ditions in Georgia and other southern Btntes would prove tho best protection for their mills. Tho seriato reached Its Becond vote, which was on a proposition by Senator Dolllver, which had for Jts purpose tho striking out of tho committee's provision fixing a duty of l cent a squaro yard for tho process of mercer lzatton. Tho bill was lost by the un usually close vote of 32 to 38. Tho narrowing of tho margin was, how over, due to the absence of senators ruther than to the conversion of tho progressives to tho Aldrlch stnndard. It was after this vote "that Senator Aldrlch found occnslon agajn to chal lenge tho attitude of some of the Re publican jsnntors who wore contend ing for lower duties. He charged thorn with playing the part of brigadier for Iho Democrats, and speaking of Sena tor Beverldgo, declared he had asso ciated with the Democrats so long that ho was adopting their ideas. He char acterized Beverldgo as the leader of the opposition. Cummins Also Replies. Both Senators Bovorldgo and Cum mins replied, the former assorting that ho was slmplylng standing on the Re publican platform, while the latter stated thnt ho had been bo often charged with being a Democrat that tho charge did not worry him. Sena tor Bailey found cause for congratula tions in tho situation, because, us ho said, ho bellood It would Inure to tho advantage of tho Democrats. During the day ' Senator Smith (Mich) found occasion to attack the position of Secretary MncVengh as the representative of tho administration on the tariff question. Lato Jn tho day the progressive, Re publicans gained a concession from the finance committee In tho lemovnl of rubber goods from the cotton sched ule, thus preventing the Imposition of a duty on such goods becnuso of the cotton In them. Tho cotton schedule was completed. Tho Dingloy rates were restored on hosiery, making a reduction of 'about 20 cents a dozon pajrs from tho rates of the houso bill. Hi description F. J.
