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.
