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. "

TKESSIXG bTATIHlOOD IIILL.S.
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. _

Hurjrlarn Work Durlni ; the Storm.
SUPERIOR , Neb. , June u. ( Special Tele

number unroofed and a number of barns
tipped over. The residence of Myron Smith ,

enlered Ihe store of Tanner & Rork , opened
the safe and broke open the drawers , but
secured no money. They took some i-hoes

Dlxon Couuty'R Downpour.
ALLEN , Neb. , June D. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Dlxon county was
treated to a copious rain yesterday after
noon and last night , which has saturated
the ground to a sufficient depth to assure
moisture to tbe growing crops for the next
three weeks. Corn since the rain looks
Immense , and the fields ure beauteous to
behold. During May's dry spell the farm
ers had a splendid opportunity to kill weeds ,
hence the corn fields appear as clean and re
freshing as a newly scrubbed kitchen. The
corn never looked beller. The yield of
hay promises lo be heavy. A week longer
without rain would most certainly have
blighted the hay crop of Dixon county. Our
wheat fields are noticed by all strangers.
They are since the rain In the pink of
