WA INOTOK. .Ian. 22. The fight to amend
the Btignr Bohedulc of the Wilson bill is
on in the house today. It opened immo-
uiatclj after tne reading of the journal , ac
cording to the agreement reached last Fri-
uay , by n hlch three hours were set aside f or
the purpose. Before the first amendment
was offered some discussion was had as to
whether the amendments could lie to each
of the three sections of tne Wilson bill
Bchcdulo separately , the bounty provision.
the duty of five-twentieths of a cent on
refined sugar above No. 4 Dutch standard ,
und the duty of SO per cent on susar candy
nnd confectionery , and of in per cant on
grape sugar. Pending an agreement" to
the mode of procedure , Mr Hut of Illinois
withdrew the amendment jiendiug lust
Saturday with reference to reci
procity with Canada on free coal.
Then after further consultation the suear
men , represented by Mr. Blanchard. witti-
drew their first proposition and asked that
the time IIP divided Into three parts , nn hour
for thossin fuvor of the bounty provision ,
an hour for those who favor the bounty Tiro-
vision of theMcKinley bill aud another hour
f oi those who favor u duty on susrar.
To Alollhli the Ilium 1.1.
Mr. McRuo objected because this arrange
ment gave no time to these who
were for free sugar and no bounty ,
It was finally agreed , however , that the
Louisiana members who wore most inter-
t Btoa should huvo un hour and the remainder
of the house should talre chances of recogni
tion of the chair during the other two
hours. Tne first amendment AVUS that
offered by JMr. JvlcRae of Arkansas to abolish
entirely the sugar bounty.
In support of his amendment. Mr. McRae
Eaid that it proposed to abollr-h entirely the
sugar bounty nnd leave sugar ou the free
list - whercltwas placed by the MeKinloy
law. A time when the treasury
was "hankrujit and the secretary
of thoOrcaptiry was uropas-
interest. Ho hudiunicrsonalfcoliugngainst
the -section of the countrjto bo affected , iiut
lie did not conceive that a democratic con
gress would perpetuate this , tlie most-vicious
provision of the MeKinloy bill. The bounty
would cost the people of the country , as it
stood. tTiO.000.03U. The "bounty last year cost
tlU.Oao.OOO. Ho contended that the bounty
was unconstitutional and undemocratic , uud
chuuld be abolished.
lUniUlrJoliuV Amendment.
Mr. Moiklojahn offered as nn amendment to
that of McRuo the sugar bounty provision
of the McKlulcy law. Theliounty provision
of the jVlcKinley law , he said , had been
jir-ssed to afford an opportunity Jor Ameri
can capital. The purpose of that act hud
been I ulfillod. It had resulted in.a vast in
vestment of capital , 7150,000,000 in Louisi
ana. Siri.000,000 in California and 10,000,000
in Florida. If the provisions of the Wilson
bill wore passed this great industry would
Ite destroyed nnd we weald be placed at the
the mercy of foreign lu-odueers of Bugur , at
the same time giving to tlie Sugar trust u
protection of f > 0 per cent or a quarter of 1
cent ou every pound of refined surar.
Mr Dackery of Missouri offered as n sub
stitute for the amendments n proposition to
abolish the bounty un sugar and place the
raw and refined surar ou the free list.
If there was anything , said MiDockery. . on
which lie thought the democracy wanted
unity it was opposition lo this bounty. The
licet , sorghum and maple sugar bounties
-were potty while the bounty ou cane buijar
rose to the dignity of grand larceny.
Mr Boutner ol Iowa wanted to know
why Mr. Dockcry did not strike down
all duty nud all protection On cotton
and woolen goods and all other articles
nnd place them ou the free list. 1 ho list
of so-called reforms could bo accomplished
iu u day. The farmers who fought with the
plow did not Demand u liountj ou wheat or
corn. All they wanted was an equal chance
in thora of life.
What U Uud huviul the
Mr Cannon of Illinois supported Mr.
Mciklejohn's amendment The free sugar
clause of tno McKiuley bill had saved the
people of the country . rich cud poor alike ,
annual 'i ' from fl to fl.23 per capita. It was
not piopnsod to throw uwuy the revenue ,
starve thp industr.v in this country and ulti-
jimtciy cav.sc tt.o price to advance to the
American consumer. If the democrats were
linucst. why was not this revenue article
plaeoa on the dutiable lh tt That would bo
in line with .ajauff for revenue only.
Mr Ilreckinrldge. democrat , of Arkansas
sup } viricd the bounty provision of the Wilson
luJ Sugar In the MeKlulcv law was only
Jrcr up to No. 10. Uiiu-h standard. Tnoro
\vcrc two ways ol uciormininp the crudef of
mignr , by colmor by quantity of
Racebiirtuo matter. The McKiuley law haa
iicoetiied the color test. Sugar under No.
Id , I ) ii.h standard , was not used on the
Aniin-ii-uu table ; atMve that standard the
MiKinloy law planed a duty of half n

Mr. Bryan , democrat , of Nebraska in sup
port of the bounty provision of thr
Wilson l il' ' , deulod the right of
any congrsss to bind future cou-
grescs. 'The Fiftj-first congress could
not bind congress for HI tncu years to con
tinue the bounty. If it could , it could
bind congrcxu for 100 years. As a matter
of fact , he doubted whether the Fifty first
coiirreiK could raise n moral obligation of
any kind. [ laughter. ] Instead of replacing
thedutj oil sugar , and thus taxing the con
sumer of Fugur in the ITnitod states , he
favored giving the paople tne benefit of Iree
sugar and raising the revenue from an in-
coino tux.

At this point , on motion of Mr Turner ,
democrat , of Georgia , the committee arose
und the speaker laid tieforc the tiouso the
special message of the president , transmit
ting additional Hawaiian correspondence.
At the request of Mr Dincle.v the cor
respondence was read. The speaker ordered
the message and accompanying documents
referred to the committee ou fqrchjn affairs
and to be printed.
A very exciting audunusual scene followed ,
"
which grew so" tempestuous that the eer-
gcant-at-arms with 1 is silver rnnco of
authority was called upon to preserve order.
Mr. Boutelle got recognition on a point of
order , and in an impassioned spaced declared
it was not apparent that the government was
eugatred in fomenting insurrection in a coun
try with which we are at peace.

"that the house has three times been noti

approval of concress in that policy , I can
not conceive tnat tne spcatcor will micrposc
his will between the house and its impera
tive duty. "
By this time the ocmocratfi had crowded
down the aisles and were in a high state of
excitement , Mr. Hatch , democrat , of Mis
souri , loudly demanding ttiatMi. Boutolle's
words be taken down. This , under the
rules , forces the member called to order to
immediately take his scat. The speaker ac
cordingly ordered Mr. Boutclle to his scat ,
but the la ttor went on talking. Again the
speaker called his attention to the rule.
CM led the 5or ratit-iU-Arim.
"All right , " retorted .Mr. Boutelle , de
fiantly , without showing any disposition
either to comply with it
"Tho trouble with the eeutloman is , "
said the speaker , slowly and deliberately ,
"that hei-epeuteaiy violates the rules. The
sergcant-at-anns will sec that tbe
- " The 'deputy 'sergeant 'promptly took Ms
.ninee-and started toward .Mr. Boatolle , who
quietly took liis seat at the latter's ap
proach. The democrats applauded loudly as
jvlr. JJoutelle sat down.
1 heTulo was then read , and immediately
aftcrward-the speauor recognized Mr. Wil

tlie whole for the further consideration of
the tariff bill. On division Air. Boutclle
made the point of no quorumnnd tne speaker ,
in accordance with the custom , appointed
Mr. Boutello nnd Wilson telleis.
' Am I sufficiently purged of contempt to

tuously ,
The speaker , however , was inno mood to
trifle. " .The chair accepts the gentleman's
statement , " said he , "us n statement that

Hopkins. [ Democratic appluube. ]
Mr. Boutello protested that the chair had
.no right to place such u construction on his

stato'inont , but the speaker declined to listen
to him.

to vote , and It was ten minutes before a

The tariff debate was than resumed under
an agreement to extend , the time of the

Mr. Dmcley of Maine and Mr. Mercer of

Brain to Tiir. Br.c.J The tukinc of testimony
iu a suit that may bo called a parallel of
Dickens' famous "Jarudyco VB .larnd.vce , "
and known almost throuchout the United
States as the suit involving the legitimacy
of the heirs of the late multi-millionaire ,
Commodore Kittsou , was becuu iu the dis
trict court of this couuty today.
Aaded interest is plven the ease in view
of the late decision of the United States su
preme court , which freed tlio entire Kittson
estate from the Farley claim oi over 2,0(13- (
( KIO , aud practically ordered u distribution of
thelmmor.BO wealth of the late commodore
amouc the heirs.
The scene in court today was intensely
dramatic und practically goes over tbe entire
history of the btate of Minnesota. Sophy
Crcvier , or Sophy Perry , as the AUIS known
when Commodore ICitloon first mot her. WIIR
the mother of the commodore's oldest boy ,
Norman lUttsor. of thm city. If her plfiim
us widow of Commodore Kitnon is ever
established it will make illegitimate children
of every one of the Kittson heirs UviuR with
the exception ofthc eldest child.
Hull tn Go to I.HWJTIB.
It is klleged that dttrlnc ; the lifetime of
Sophy Crevier. Mr. .lewctt happened to
learn of her early alliance with Commodore
Kittson thut he informed her of her alleged
rkrhts. uud obtaiuud. iu common with .fudge
Brisbine , a vritton contract calling for
one-half of the widow's third of the
estate. The Perrys are of IYcueh ex
traction and the witueas , Charles Perry ,
Sophy's brother , told a Ptranue btor.on .
the stand this moraine , bpeakmtr I-'rench
through Father RUVOUJ. as internrtiter. He
is 78 years old und carne to this country
with his parents and bisters in 1S"1
in the same ship with Lu-d Solkirk ,
finally settllne ut Fort SneHinp , bcme
but 10 years old at the time.
Arrivinc at Fort SnellinR the Perrys built a
small house near thp historical cave , still to
be seen today , and here they lived for more
than two years , and here the multimillionaire
aire became acquainted with Sophy Perry.
He was at that time connected with the
Amnriciiu Fur company und traveled a good
deal , but came to see Sophy at the cave
frequently , staying but u duj at a time.
OCnrw M hut AVUK Coins On. "
Her brother Charles testified emphatically
thut the commodore never introduced his
bister as his wife , and tha. , ho never heard
liar claim to be his wife , although he "know
what was come on. " From the cave
.house , which wab destroyed by the soldiers ,
the Perry family moved down town to a
"house owned by Commodore Kittson.
The -witness detailed the circumstances of
-what is claimed by the heirs to lie the ilr.st .
nuirritlpro of Sophy Pnrry. He buid she was
married by the Indian nireut. Tuliferro ,
prior towitne = s' marriage , in 1M1. to
one Godfrey , the marriage being holomu-
ized In n Btone building adjoining
J ort Snelllns Several .Vears later , or in
1S47 , Sophy Perry , or Godfrey.was - tagaiu
married to Peter Crevier.with -whom she
lived thirty-nine years. Father Ravoux per
formed this marriage ceremoney , uud re
ferred to a quaintly bound , prcfin record
"booir , kept iu his own handwriting , to re-
Jresh liismemory us to these old marriages.
Cluiin ItVn a Common Law aiiirrlacu.
The claimants hold that a common law
marriage existed between Sophy Perry und
Isorman ViKittson. . and that all other imir-
nuges contracted by either party aftcr-
v/ard were illegal. They intend to prove
that the common law marriage was in force
lor ten years , during which time live chil
dren were bom to Jsormai\V. Kittsou and
Sophy Perry , all ofwhom were baptized
under the name of Kittsou by Father
Ravoux. TCorman Kittmm is the only one of
the five now living and the claimants will
try to prove that he is lecitimato and not a
putative sou , altnough lie himself is ar
rayed on the other side.
The Kittton heirs , on the contrary , claim
that this union ivab merely a liuson and that
the claimants have no legal right to any
poition of the Kittson estate.
