Tin DAT IN TJ1E SKNATK.
AVASUI.VOTOK, June 21.—Very rapid progress was nni.le ou the tariff bill W edmjsday. Tho income tnx on paffe 1 tb had been reached when the sonute udjourned. Only sixty-one pages of the bill—the income tax and internal rotenuo features remain undisposed of, and the end of tho long- debate seems close at hand.
The paragraph placing sugar on the free liht was stricken out. The administrative fentures of the bill (sections 12M to 4b inclusive) were stricken out, aw Senator Jones explained, in order to facilitate tho passage of tho bill. If it was deemed advisable later to enact the proposed administrative sections it could be done in a separate hill, ho added. Senator Allison Intimated that it was the wish of the seerelary of the treasury to pluce the new tariff in force uuder the operation of the present administrative law, and if defects were found to correct them later on. The content over the income tax, which promises to be extremely interesting if nut sensational, will begin t.o-duy. It is generally expected that it will occupy at least two days.
Salt li«MnalnM on tho Free List.
The pending question was the paraprapli pluciiiff halt on the free list. Senator I'efi'er's motion to put suit on llie dutiable list at the rate of 5 cents per 100 pounds was rejected—yeas 24 tiay.s U3. Senator I'effer was not susmined by his co-populists—Senators Allen and Kvle- who voted with the democrats against his motion. So salt remains on the free list.
Fruc Suifur Not lii F»vor.
When tho free-sugar paragraph of the tariff bill was reached the amendment of the finance committee being to strike it out, Senator Alilrich (rep. 11. I.) demanded the veas and nays, saying that he wanted to know who was in favor ot free sugar and who was not. Tho paragraph was struck out,- veas 38, nays V2. Two populist senators, Allen mid Kyle, and one republican. Quay, voted with the democrats to strike out the paragraph.
The Vote ou Sugnr.
The
detailed vote is as follows: Yeas Allen, Uato, Horry, Blfinchnrd, C'uflory. Cull, Camden, CucUrell, Daniel, Fttulk•er. George, ("Jordan, Gorman, Harris, Hunton, Irliy. JarvU. Jones (Ark.), Kyle, MePherson, MltvUoll (Wis.), Murphy.Palmer, Pugh, Paeoo,
i^uay,
Kausom. Hoach, Smith, Vest, Voorheos, Walsh and White—TotRl. H8. Nays—Aldrich, Allison, Carey, Chandler, Cullum. Dubois, Frye. Galllnger, Hale, Hawley, HingJns. Hoar, Lodge. Mitchell (("ire.), Morrill, I'etTer. Perkins. Piatt, Powers, Proctor, Shoup and Toller —1Total.
Senator Kyle stated that his vote was not to bo taken as an indication that he would vote in the same way whon all the schedules were made up and the bill reported to the senate. Senator Allen made a statement to the like effect, with the addition that he had thus far voted with the finance committee for tho purpose of getting speedy action on the bill.
Chnmller CuueeH Commotion.
A rather sensational episode occurred at 12:!lo o'clock in the senate. Senator Allen (pop., Xeb.l moved to put all lumber ou the free list. Senator (.handler (rep.. X. H.) charged that the Nebraska senator had made a bargain with the democratic side to obtain it. Ill explanation of his vote on sugar the announcement that he had not yet made tip his mind how to vote on the tinnl bill was a threat and lu getting this amendment adopted he was completing a bargain. Senator Allen retorted that his vote and action was none of Senator Chandler's business. Senator Chandler said he proposed to make it his businesE. Senator Allen subsequently- obtained the floor and replied to Senator Chandler's remarks. He claimed that, he (Allen) was not to be deterred from his purpose by a senator who put himself in the attitude of a baboon on every possible occasion.
Finally Senator Allen's amendment was ngroed to, making the paragraph read suwed boards, plank deals, and other lumber—rough or dressed—yeas, 2$ nays. '21. The senate then finished the free list part, of the bill.
Income Tax
AmendmeutH.
The income tax went over till to-day by unanimous consent. Before this action Senator Vest put In some additional proposed amendments so that they might be printed. Tliey propose to exempt mutual life insurance societies and fraternal beneficiary societies from the provisions of the tax. The provision regarding building and loan associations is changed to read as follows: "That nothing herein contained shall apply to the loans made by building and loan naitoctnitons to their shareholder! for the purpose of enalillni them to provide for themselves homes." -:^. A.'
:i--
j-. BS?
It is also, by the amendments, made the duty of persons acting as trustees for estates or trusts to render returns upon them when the incomes annually exceed 53,600.
Another amendment requires the internal revenue commissioner to prescribe tho form of the affirmation or oath required from the president or chief oflieer of a corporation or company in giving the net proceeds of his company. 1'nitoriiltU'A Exempted.
ri"T'*7HH
Another amendment exempts fraternal beneficiary societies, orders or aisociations operating upon the lodge system and which provide for the payment of life, sick, accident and other benefits to the members of such societies and their dependents from the operations of the law.
An exemption Is also made in the case of such savings banks, saving Institutions or societies as have no stockholders or members except de'

Senator Poffcr gavo notice of his intention to offer an amendment to graduate the income tax so as to make incomes in excess of 81,000 and below 810,000 subject to a tax of 1 per cent. between 810,000 and 326,000, 2percent. between 838,000 and 860,000,8per cent. between 850,000 and 8100,000, 4 per oent. above 8100,000, 6 per cent.
At 4:10 o'clock tho senate went into executive session and at 4:18 o'clock adjourned.

WIMAN'S FATE.
Sentenced to Prlnoii for Term of Five and a Half Years. NEW YORK, June 21.—Erastus W'i-
man, the one time millionaire, philanthropist. capitalist, was sentenced to Sing Sing by Judge lngrahain In the court of oyer and terminer for live years and six months. His crime was forgery in the second degree. Mr. Wiman, who had walked with a deputy from the Tombs, took his seat at the counsel's tublo, one of his sons on either side, before court opened. He maintained a composed appearance.
To the question if he had ai^-thing to sav why judgment should not be passed upon him Mr. Wiman made no audible repuly. In passing sentence Judge Ingraham said to tho prisoner: '4®Dr a long period you constantly appropriated the money of your associates. You reported to forgery to accomplish your purpose. Mr. Dun trusted you. I cannot consider the Lplca that there was contributory negligence on Dun's part. 1 am also asked to consider that you had the right to do what you did, I cannot believe that. Every letter and act of yours shows you had no such right. On the other hand the Jury has rtjoommendod clemency. I wish to gUe full force and effect to that recommendation. I also wish to ox press appreciation to the Jury for the way they performed their duty. 1 also wish to consider your public services, your ago and your family. But ulncerely wishing to make the punishment as light us I oau, 1 do not feel 1 am justified In making It a nominal one."
Gen. Trac3' had previously made a formal motion for a new trial, which had been Allied. He now stopped forward and asked for permission to apply for a certificate of reasonable doubt. This was granted and will be applied for to-day. Deputy Sheriff Hrown was ordered not to take Wiman to Sing Sing until this matter is settled. The sentence, with commutation off, will amount to three years, eleven months and fifteen days. A monster petition is in oireulation asking for the pardon of Wiman.

the mental condition of I'utrick Eugene Prendergast, the assassin of the late Carter Harrison, was begun at 10 a. m. iu Judge Payne's court. The entire morning session was taken up in the examination of veniremen.
After tho examination of prospective jurors had commenced Prendergast became exceedingly obstreperous.

He was taken hack to jail muttering imprecations and struggling with bailiffs.

block coal miners voted MM to 245 in favor of returning to work at the Columbus scale of wages, which is seventy cents a ton the year round, as against seventy-live cents for summer and eighty cents for winter paid last year. The mass meeting was held iu a grove, and from the beginning there was no doubt of the result, although the last ditch strikers were persistent in their opposition to the Columbus compromise. The action in the block Held virtually determines the action of the state. A convention of miners meets at Torre Haute on Friday and work will lie started in the bituminous mines by the first of next week at the latest. 1'ANA, 111., June 21.—The strikers at a meeting Wednesday afternoon declared the strike off unconditionally, allowing the miners who could secure work to resume at once at the old prices.

However, they will employ union men, but will not discriminate between them and nonunion men. The strike here is now believed to bo finally settled. The millers have lost heavily, the operator!but little.
