Minor business claimed attention up to 2 p m , when Senator Aldrlch of Rhode Inland , In charge of the tariff bill , had the tncasurci laid before the senate and took the floor for the opening t-pecch. At that time cvciy available seat In the galleries wuu oc cupied The republican side of the floor showed an almr.it tolld representation , there being three or four vacant neala. The dem- ocints also presented full ranks and the scat tered scats of the populists were occupied , with but one exception Mr. Dlngley , chair man of the ways and meana committee nnd author of the house bill , took a scat Immediately beside Mr. Aldrlch and lis tened attentively. Other republican mem bers of the way * and monm\ committee and Representative Shntnon of the populist con tingent occupied the rear lounges. Speaker Hoed was not present. Mr Aldiich fcpoko for almost art hour and a quartet , adopting an easy , conversational style HI i speech was the olllclal utterance of the finance committee , and , In a seiiix ? , of the republican sldo of the chamber. With out making Invidious dl'tlncllons bet-veen the two bills , Mr. Aldrlch clearly elated as the belief of the finance committee that the bouse bill would not yield revenue ade quate for the needs of the government Mr Vest of Missouri , one of the demo cratic members of the finance committee , followed with a statement In opposition to the bill He ppoko of the futility of piling up taxcu on an overburdened people when there was n balance of $129000000 In the treasury. He criticised the schedules In de tail , declaring that some of them were dc- nlgncd to bo piohlbltlve. Ho severely at tacked the Increase In the lead duty , declar ing It wns for the benefit of the "cormo rants" of monopoly and against the people. Mr Cannon of Utah , a silver republlcin closed the debate for the day by urging that the protection should be so distributed as to aid the mrmers. Early In the day Mr. Mallory. the new ncnator from Florida , was sworn In and took his scat.

Thu adop tion of u levenue bill which should lull In the Immediate future and which would re quire a furthci Issue of bonds to meet < ur- rcnt expenditures would certainly be fntnl to the hopes of future succtts of anv i u'ltlcal party responsible for such legislation In selecting the sourcts for additional revenue the committee decided to Increase temporal lly the tax on articles of voluntary u.sn rather than to assess additional duties which might prove Inoperative upon ai llcles of necessity or upon those wlil h ti te.r into our manufactured products Assuming that flip necessity for additional rovpiiup exists , nnd of this WP believe there can bno ques tion. theie Is no economic rca on nnd cer tainly none that affects the public Interests why beer and tobacco would not bear tl.elr share of additional taxation INTERNAL TAXHS READY. The committee believes that the duty pro- pO ed on tea will not prove n. serious burden upon the coiiHUinora of that article Noth ing in the theor > of piotcctlon Interferes with the Imposition of further Internal rev enue taxes by protectionists whenever such a com so Is found desirable for revenue pur- po'es only In the future It is almon cer tain that WP shall be ob l ed to depend more and more upon taxes of this nature for ncr- cs"3ary revenue. In the > car.s to come we must expect n ( lecteaso rather than an Increase in the cus toms revenue to bo derived under the pilncl- pal schedules of the tariff With duties adequntclj protective upon manufacturers of cotton , wool , silk nnd flax \ve may ex pect a constantly diminishing revenue from the Importations of thesp products. If the rates Imposed by this bill on sugar Bhould be found to lead to the rapid development of the beet sugar Indus-trj In the Tnlted States , we mnv expect large reductions year by jear from the c-ntemplHted it-venue from sugar Some of the mo t sanguine advocates of the policy of encouraging beet sugar produc tions in this counirv bcllevp that we Phnll within ten years produce all of our sugar. The legitimate n > ult of a protective policy I't to give the American imuket to Ameilcan producers. When this becomes an accom plished fact the icvenue growing out of protective duties dlsippeart U must be evident thetefore that wo mu t look for other sources of revenue Whether It should be along the line of an Increase of internal revenue taxes , such as we have suggested or whether some other sour e * of revenue should be sought It Is not necessary now to determine. It K safe to assume that numcroiiH objectors will ulvvajs be found to any plan for Increased taxation. In this paitlcular case the committee Is only strenu ous that a wise public policy requires that our revenues should .it all times be equal to our exiwndlturcs and th it the people of the United States will not be Fatl'Iled with any revenue measurethnt docs not provide ade- eiuate Income- for this purpose. SUGAR SCHKUULn In the sugar schedule 13 we have suggested a chance In rates and In the manner of as- seEHliiK the duties As the- schedule Is a very Important one It pecms proper that I should txpluln dcflnlte'y the effect of the piovlslons wo icc'ommeml The nnnuiil consum'HIon of sugar In the I'nltPd Slates \ > about 2000,000 Krosn tons of 2,2-10 pounds each , with a value ba ed cm foreign pile- ' * approximating $ 'O.OOO.OOO.

Hartley was In court nnd was represented jy T. J. Mahoncy nnd C. 0. Wliedon of Incoln. Tno state's Interests were In the anils of Attorney General C. J. Smyth ntul County Atlortey Baldilge. The proceedings constituted an argument f the motion lo quash , filed by Hartley's nt- erne > s The motion was based on the ground lint the police court had no Jurisdiction nnd hnt Hartley had not had a preliminary ex.- mlnntlon nor had ho waived the Fame , nnd lao on the ground that n similar piocecd- ng , based on the charge of embezzling Iho nine funds cohered bv the complaint In the aso at bar , were pending In the I-.ancas.ter ounty court at the time the proceedings In hla county were coinnicnccd. The leading argument for Hartley wan nade by Mr Mnhone > . Ho offered In cvl- cnco n certified copy of the proceedings In ho courts of Lancaster county , showing the ) cndcncy of a similar action In that court , vhlch wns commenced April 19 , nnd Dartlej jotiml over to the district court April 20 , ho day lieforo the proceedings In this ounty wen. commenced Mr. Mahoney read the warrant Ihsucd bj ho police judge of this city , calling atton- lon to the fact that It wns directed to the hciiff , which he claimed was not within ho powers of the police judge. IIo also read bo transcript of the proceedings In the 'police court " and claimed that the statutes lo not confer upon the "police court" any nrlsdlctlon to hold preliminary cxninlnu- lens nnd bind prisoners over to n higher ionrt lie nrgued that all authority In such matters is conferred by the statutes ) upon he "police judge , " and on these statements 10 based his claim that the defendant had lot had a piellmlnary examination and wns lot , therefore , legally bcforo the district court for trial. TRANSCRIPT ALL RIGHT. The argument for the state was made by bounty Attorney Haldrigo , who quoted au- hoiitio' ! In oi position to those icfoired to by ilr. Mahonej. The county attorney con- : undcd that it was Immaterial whether the name "S , I. Gordon , " signed to the tran script , was follow od liy the words "police udgo" or "judge of the police court , " as the : ourt would take Judicial knowledge of the fact that Gordon Is a police judge Ho took up seriatim the other points raited by Mr. Mjhoncy nnd nrgued against them. Attorney General Smjth also argued against the motion to quash. Ho contended hat the points referred to by the attorncjs or the defendant should have been rnlsed by i plea In abatement and not In the shape of a motion to quash. Following this attorney general Mr. MaHoney - - Honeydiscussed ttc ) transcript of the pro ceedings In the- police court. Ho attacked the record. as show n by tbe transcript , claiming that the finding of the oourt was defective in that It did not show that the court found that a crime had been com mitted within the jurisdiction of the court and that there was probable cause for be lieving that the defendant had committed the crime The closing argument was made by Mr. Whedon , who discussed the alleged defect In the warrant , claiming that It did not show the crime with which the defendant was charged. He read from the wairant to show that it simply charged "embezzlement" nni Iio claimed that the statutes require that the warrant must state the specific charge He contended that Hartley had not been ar rested In the manner provided by law and had not had a legal preliminary hearing. Judge Baker announced that lie would take the matter under advisement until 9 o'clock this morning. Heforo making this announce ment the judge paid the questions raised were serious oncu and he dcslicd to consider then well before deciding upon them.
