WASHINGTON , June C. The compromise amendment * to the sugar schedule were all adopted In the senate today , and the pivotal schedule , on which the late of the tariff measure depended , went through with out change. On the vital amendment to place all sugars on the free list the demo cratic line was drawn , Mr. Hill of New York voting in fuvor of It and Mr. Irby of South Carolina being paired the same way. But the republicans were unable to hold their own side intact , Messrs. Manderson and Perkins voting against the amendment , and Mr , Quay being paired against It. while Mr. Sherman , who wan present , did not vote at all. Only one of the populists , Mr. Peffer. voted for free sugar , Messrs. Kyle and Allen , In the final Issue , joining with the majority of the democrats against It. Had nil the republicans , with the three popu lists and the two disaffected democrats , joined hands , sugar , raw and refined , would have gone on the free list. On all the other amendments offered by the republicans the majority against them ranged from three to ten. The adoption of the sugar schedule prac tically insures the passage of the bill at an early date , although it Is claimed that the republicans will make a final stand on the sugar schedule when the bill is reported and considered in the senate. PROVISIONS OK THE SUGAR SCHEDULE. As adopted today , the schedule Imposes a duty o ( 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugars. , raw and refined , with a differential of one- eighth of 1 cent per pound on sugars above tixlecn Dutch standard , and an additional one-tenth of 1 cent against sugars imported from countries paying an export bounty. It continues the Hawaiian treaty , admitting sugars from the Sandwich islands free of duty , and places a duty of 2 cents per pound on molasses testing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. The schedule goes Into effect Jaunory 1 , 18U5 , and the bounty is continued until that date. On motion of Power , Montana , a bill authorizing the Missouri River Power cora- pciiy to build dam across the Missouri river was passed. The tariff bill -\vas laid before the senate and the sugar schedule again taken up. Hig- Blus , republican of Delaware , opened the de bate with an argument in favor of continu ing the present bounty provisions. Mr. Aldrich , alluding to statements made in tie senate yesterday regarding the alleged influence of the Sugar -trust in the framing of the McKlnky bill , said , while there was a Sugar trust in JS9Q it wusJiot the gigantic concern it is now , and specu lation In its shares was comparatively trivial. Mr. West retorted that in three weeks then the shares went up thirty-five points. "There were then , " lie said , "the same lies , the same falsifications , the ha me at tacks on public men as nave characterized the consideration of the pending bill. " Mr. Sherman also insisted that the trust of 1S ! 0 was not the trust of today. "Da you know what the capital of the Sugar trust of 1890 was ? " asked Mr. Brlce. "I do not , " replied Mr. Sherman. "It was $50,000,000 , " said Mr. Brlce. "The stock of that corporation went up from C3 to 35. The stock advanced $20.00U,000 by virtue of the action of your committee. " "Between what periods did this fluctuation occur ? " asked Mr , Aldrich. "Between May and October , " replied Mr. Brlce emphatically , adding , as he turned on Ills heel , "after the representatives of the trust had made their agreement with those who controlled the bill. " Mr. Aldrich protested that he did not luiov what the senator from Ohio meant by an agreement existing between the Sugar trust and those in power in IfcDo , but he did Itnow that the Sugar trust had dictated the sugar schedule in the present bill. "Who dictated the 50 cent protection In the McKinley bill ? " Inquired Mr. Vtst pas sionately. "No one. " "The Sugar trust , " said Mr. Vest , "and you youm-lf admitted it in the record when you said you could not resist the arguments of the Philadelphia sugar leflners. " TIME FOR VOTING ARRIVES. In thu midst of this sensational debate , in which crimination and recrimination pre vailed , the hour of 1 o'clock arrived , and under the agreement a vote was taken on Mr. Jones' amendment fixing January 1. 1895 , as the' ' dateon which the repeal of the sugar bounty bhould go Into'effect. .

Friends of the Xflw IVlcxIco and Okliihuina JMnamro" Have .Nut Lost llinrt. WASHINGTON , - June E. The supporters of bills for the advancement of New Mexico and Oklahoma to statehood have not lost courage. Several times in the course of the present session the two statehood bills have been on the eve of receiving considera tion from the house , but each time they were sidetracked by more important legisla tion or party misunderstandings. Bills for the admission of Utah and Arizona were passed by the house- early in the session , but have since been hung up In the senate. An attempt was made at the same time by the lepubllcans to hear an argument for the consideration of the New Mexico and Okla homa bills together , but Speaker Crisp told Delegate Flynn that the point of order would be in order against such an arrange ment , and that being undoubtedly the case the attempt was .abandoned. * The speaker has assured General Wheeler , the chairman of the committee on territories , that the bill for New Mexico can secure a hearing after the Indian appropriation bill , which comes up this week. The Oklahoma bill will follow that for New Mexico , unless un foreseen circumstances arise to delay one or the other. New Mexico is democratic and It admitted will add two to the democratic majority in the senate , but Oklahoma Is re publican. HO thai Ihe success of the bill for the admission of the latter territory IB very doubtful. Moreover , there has be n much disagreement in Oklahoma over the details of the statehood plan , which haa been com plicated by the opposition of Indian tribes to It. Republicans have feared that If the New Mexico bill was passed other legisla tion would be pressed forward to displace Ok'ahoma. therefore It would be to their satisfaction to secure consideration of the case of Oklahoma first. TAK1FK MANAGUUS NOT WOUIU ING. They Arm Not Afraid of the Tlieutrneil State ISutik Tux Amendment. WASHINGTON. June 5. The democratic managers of the tariff bill in the senate are not greatly disturbed over the Intimation that an amendment will be offered providing for the repeal of the state bank tax. They do not believe that it would be pressed by those who havu the deepest interest In the success of. Ihe repeal. The-from hern demo cratic senators are the moM concerned oer the repeal of the' state bank tax and they -also constitute the element in the senate most interested In the pascage of the tariff bill , and it In not believed that they would agrre to Imnsrll the tariff bill or to delay It In any way by pressing in connection with it as a rider a measure which they consider of only comparative Importance. The friends of the bill recall In discussing the possibility of such an amendment the fate of Senator Lodge's silver amendment , and alto revert to the tact that when the silver repeal bill was before the nennte durlcg the extra ses sion an amendment for the bank tax repeal was Introduced , but not passed. They argue that it at that time when a majority of the senators friendly to this measure were op posed to the bill then pending the amend ment wat not stroug enough to hold its place , it will not cut a more Uuporant figure In the pending tariff legislation.

IIIWSTON ruUM > < JIII.TV. ; Callfornlan Ilouutl OUT fur Murder by a London Coroner's Jury. LONDON , June 5. Dr. George Banford P. Thomas , the coroner for the district of Lon don , held an Inquest today in St. Pancras upon the remains of George Burton , the Itin erant musician who was killed on May 30 in Acton street by General John Hewston ol California , who thrust the point of his um brella Into Burton's left eye. Griseom Rlck- ctts , tollcitor , represented General Hewston , Who was present at the Inquest. Mrs. Emma Burton , the widow of the musi cian , did not wish to see the body , but iden tified the clohtlng of the deceased as having belonged to her husband. Mrs. Burton said that she had been married for twenty-two years , and for the last four years she had been separated from her husband. The couple had four children , the youngest ol whom was 9 years old. Burton made his wife an allowance of from C to S shillings per week. He earned his living as a musician , and was in the habit of playing outside ol saloons. G. A. Burton , a scavenger , son of the de ceased , identified his father's body. Benjamin Bowerlng , a vestry employe , said that as General Hewston passed , his arm struck the harp which was carried by one ol the musicians. The general thereupon gave the Instrument a push , and Burton , who war carrying a tin whistle ana a stool , said- "Why did you push that harp ? " To this the general Is said to have replied : "It hit me on the arm. " Burton , according to TJowerln'g. then remarked : "You had no business to do that. " The general , still , according to Bowering , thereupon exclaimed : "I will poke this in your eye , " at the same time raising his um brella. Burton said : "Do It ! " The general then thrust the end of his umbrella Into Bur ton's eye , withdrew It , and walked down the street. Witness said that he turned away his head , as he felt sick. Soon after , how ever , he followed the general and said to him : "You shall not get away. " Another man shouted out : "Collar him. " Bowering added that he then stopped the general until the police arrived. Upon cross-examination , Bowering said that Burton carried a camp stool which he folded up until It had the appearance of a thick walking stick. The man carrying the harp was walking with Burton , and the Ihlrd musician was a little way ahead of his two companions. It had been raining , and the general's umbrella was folded up tightly. General Hewston , witness said , wore specta cles. The umbrella did not go above the level of the shoulder ; It was thrust forward. Witness was quite sure that the general said : "I will poke this In your eye. " Solicitor Rlcketts here remarked : "That la a different statement to the one you made In the police court. " According to Bowerlng , the whole Incident occurred In a minute and a half. James Bryan gave important evidence for General Hewston , saying that he was walkIng - Ing near the scene when he saw -General Hewston being hustled. The general , he added , endeavored to extricate himself and Burton raised the camp stool In his right hand as though about to strike. General Hewston , who had lifted his umbrella In order lo avoid the blow , stuck the ferrule in the man's left eye. This witness also testified that he heard a bystander remark after Burton had been struck : "That serves him right. " The umbrella and camp stool for the examination were here produced In court tion ot the coroner's jury. General Hewston was then called to the wllness Eland. He said that he was by oc cupation an analytical chemist and that he had been In charge of the national guard of California for fourteen years. He lived in San Francisco and was now btaying with his friend , Mr. Lorln A. Lathrop , the , United States consul at Bristol , who had come from the latter city in order to be of sen-Ice to "On Wednesday evenIng - him In his trouble. Ing , May 30 , " Fald the general. "I was walking In Gray's Inn road. Turning Into Acton street I saw a man carry ing a harp on his back , the ends of the in strument stretching cut beyond his shoul ders. We were both walking rapidly , -and the harp caught my shoulder and face. It did not hurt mo a bit , but impulsively 1 pushed the Instrument aside and walked on. I had gone but a few steps when the de ceased came up to me and asked why I had pushed the harp. I turned around and faced him. Deceased Bald something , and menacingly raited a camp Ptool In his right hand. I said : "Don't strike me. " The deceased replied : "I will punch you In the eye , " and lunged at roe. I. not intend ing any harm , threw up my umbrella , and I felt It touch the man. 1 then turned and walked on. not knowing that anything serious had occurred. I had not gone more than a few yards before some men ran up and stopped me , saying : "You've knocked that man's eye out , " That was the first In timation which I bad received that any thing serious had happened. As some of the men who had run up appeared Inclined to hold me , I said : "Leave me alone ; I'll wait for a policeman. " The coroner summed up lengthily , and Bald the Question for the Jury to decide was whether the death ot Burton was caused by misadventure or by manslaughter. The Jury returned a verdict holding Gen eral John Hewsion guilty of manslaughter , and added a rider , raying that the jury did not believe that the wound which caused Burton't death was inflicted willfully , u Is believed that he will eventually be ac quitted. _ Dnnuy Talk * About Ulrtutlon.
