According to announcement made when the reading was begun that every paragraph of the entire bill win be subject to amendment when it Is taken up for final consideration on each paragraph next" oMnday. While the whole measure In thus subject to further revision, all concede that substantial prog ross has been made. There will be no re- tturn to many of the schedules. There was comparatively little debate on the measure today, as Senator Aldrich postponed replying to many questions asked of him In order to hasten the conclusion of the reading of the measure, saying he would make full explanations when the various amendments received final con (derations. Many provisions. Including the wood pulp and wool schedules, were today passed over oh specific objection. The reading of the tariff bill being re sumed In the sejiate today, numerous re quests were made by both republicans and democrats for the passing over of various schedules, although an agreement had pre viously been made that such action waa not necessary In order to permit a senator to enter and obtain a vote on any amendment.- Nearly every senator was In his place and followed the reading of the bill wth merest. ' The suggestions of various senators In dicated that more than half of the rate under the wood. sugsr and molasses, to-, bauco and agricultural and other schedules would come In for criticism at a later date. Senator McLaurin of Mississippi, request ing that various schedules under the head of agriculture be passed over. Senator Aid rich asked whether he did not wish to make a similar request la respect to rice, the duty on which the finance committee ' had allowed to stand at 3 cents per pound as passed by the house. Mr. McLaurin said he had not referred to that paragraph because ne change had been made In It, "so." he added, "there Is nothing at which the gentlemen can allow' his rlslbles to rise." "There Is nothing under the agricultural schedules that la ao high as the duty on rice," suggested Mr. Aldrich. "Still, we might . amend the schedule." said Mr. McCumber, smiling. "Let It be passed," Interposed Senator Gallinger, with a significant glance toward the democratic side. specific Daty on rcarla. Notice that the committee would bring Into the senate an amendment making duties on pearls, diamonds and other prec ious stones specific Instead of ad valorem was given by Mr.' Aldrich today. Replying to Mr. Bacon, Mr. Aldrich said the rales of fluty on these articles were as high as had been found practicable for the collection of any revenue. Mr. Bacon suggested that a . very high duty would probably encourage sum smuggling, to which Mr. Aldrich nodded assent. When the schedule relating to wood pulp, print paper and books was reached, Mr. Aldrich aald the committee hoped In a very few days to report an amendment for the wood pulp provision of the bill. Messrs. Clapp, Brlstow, Nelson and Piles called attention to the possible effect of the house paragraph In preventing any free Importation of wood pulp from the Domin ion of Canada, because an export duty might be imposed by a single province of the Dominion. Mr. Aldrich explained that this was one of the matters under consideration by the committee on finance. "I am sure," said Mr. AMrlch, "that we ought not to deal In the main with Canada and hold the Dominion government respon sible slwaya for .what Is done in any part of the Dominion." He added that he power of the provinces of the Dominion to legislate Independently made the work of the committee more dif ficult. On motion of Mr. Main the sched ule was passed over. Palllanlne Segar ftcaedele. The reading of the Philippine sugar sctieauie was the signal for a vigorous Criticism on the part of Senators Clay and Bacon of the policy of admitting augar from the Philippine Islands to the United States free of duty. They declared that the free admission of 3.000 tons or sugar from 1-orto Rico and KO.OOO tona from the Hawaiian Islands has not affected the price of refilled sugar and added that while granulated sugar In the United Statea aella tor 4 i cents per pound. It Is sold fol- J. 10 cents a pound In Loudon. Mr. Bacon Insisted that the - Introduction or free Philippine sugar would, by replacing an equal amount of dutiable augur, re duce the revenues without any benefit to the people of this country. Mr. Lodge said the free sugar produc tUm of the Philippines Is but KO.OOO tona annually, which he declared now goes to China. The paragraph waa passed over under objection by Senators Foster and New land. UoIllTer aa Aalaaal Sraedale.

"Furthermore, I believe that they are willing to adopt a non-discriminatory rate of 24 cents a mile." Colonel Fanning Hoists the Big White Flag Cclonel Fanning lias surrendered. After all his talk of the things he In tended to do to Gove rr or Shailenberger for signing tha 8 o'clock cloalng bill, the colonel, fearing a court-martial, haa taken his pen quietly in hand end written to the governor a complete drawback of it all and a pledge that he is a loyal supporter of his excellency. The colonel was so put out when he heard of the action of the governor on the meas ure that he not only talked, but he fired Ms reslgnstlnn to his excellency, to take effect .instanter. But the commander-in-chief of the army ana navy or r-eorasKS Knew hla man, ao Inatead of accepting tha resignation ha filed It away and at the same time ap pointed Colonel Spens, freight agent of the Burlington, a member of his staff. Then he made arrangementa to take his ataft to the Seattle reposition; later to Crawford for a Fourth of July celebration, and then to Valentine for a week'a fishing, with other festivities In prospect. Thla waa too much for Colonel Fanning, who had gone to Hot Spring to rest up for the war which he waa to lead agalnat the governor.

April 2J.-(Speclai Tele gramsAnother Richmond has appeared upon the tariff field In tha person Of Sen ator Jonathan P. Dolllver. and thle Rich mond promisee to give Mr. Aldrich and those associated with him a fight tha senior senator from Rhode Island will remember for years. There are a dozen Richmonda In the field, but DoUtver la tha last to take up the cudgel for revision downward of the tariff. Yesterday It was wooren and cotton schedules, which ha attacked and which lie asked to have passed over. Today the senior senator from Iowa protested against cattle aud sheep, which had been sent Into Mexico as calves and Iambs and after year's feeding had them brought in free of duty. He said the cattle people of the western country were beset with dlsad vantages and the decision of tha Treasury department that young animals may be taken into a foreign country and brought back into the states without paying duty. worked a hardship upon native producers and he proposed to have this paragraph under the free list corrected If possible. Getting: Into Llae. Senator Dolllver may not be actuated by the broadest statesmanship in his attacks upon very material paragraphs In the tar iff bill, but the fact remains that Iowa is a revision downward state, and Mr. Dol llver will be a candidate for re-election. Senator Cummins has shot his arrow for the income tax, and In order that the senior senator may hold some one of the boards, Dolllver haa taken It upon himself to crit icise many of the schedules under the Ald-rlch-Payne bill, and in this particular he will probably be In the publlo eye until the senate bill passes that body and goes to conference. " It Is rumored that Mr. Dolllver haa re tained. a former, expert on customs duties Bnd called at the appraiser's office of New York for the purpose of furnishing him first-hand comparlaons between the Ding ley, Payne and Aldrich bills, with a view of showing that Instead of being a reduc tion downward the Aldrich bill marks an Increase of duties In the sggregate Instead of a decrease, as desired by President Taft and his party. 8enalor Dolllver ha generally been regu lar. It la not often he hss been found In revolt from the leaders of tthe annate or ganization, but In the game of politics Senator Dolllver Is not a "spring chicken" snd he probably realizes that he must hold his own with Iowa's former governor.

Senator Brown, who has followed tariff debates assiduously since the report of the senate bill, said today he hellev.fi th. Aldrich bill would pasa the senata by the 16th or 20th of May and that differences between interests were being gradually harmonised. Senator Brown aald h would not make a speech on pumice stone If con cessions of three-eighths of a cent a pound on npmiqe and lta products would be granted by the finance committee and which he had every reaaon to believe would be done. lie said so-called Insur gents In the senate were winning sub stantial victories ant he believed that the Aldrich-Payne bill as finally adopted would prove to be the best tarlfr bill that has been passed In a third of a century and that It would meet with the wishes r . larger number of people than any similar measure paased for the primary purpose of raising revenues and at the same time giving protection to American Industries where needed. .
