SUGAR TRUST WINS.

Thw Compromise Schedule la Psaaed by the Senate. The compromise amendments to the sugar schedule were all adopted In the Senate Tuesday and the pivotal schedule on which the fate of the tariff measure depended went through without change. On the vital amendment to place all sugars on the free list the Democratic Hue was drawn, Mr. Hill voting in favor of it and Mr. Irby being paired the same way. But the Republicans were unable to hold their own forces intact, Messrs. Manderson and Perkins voting against the amendment and Mr. Quay being paired against it, while Mr. Sherman, wno was present, did not vote at alt Only one of the Populists, Mr. Peffer, voted for free sugar. Messrs. Kyle and Aljpn in the final issue joined with the majority against it. If all the Republicans, with the three Populists ana the two disaffected Democrats, had joined hands sugar, raw and refined, would have gone on-the free list. On all the other amendmets offered by the Republicans the majority against them ranged from three to ten. A Washington correspondent says that the adoption of the sugar schedule practically insures the passage of the bill at an early date, although it is intimated that the Republicans will make a final stand on this schedule when the bill is reported and considered in the Senate. As adopted, the schedule imposes a duty of 4u per cent, ad valorem on all sugars raw and refined, with a differential of one-eighth of a cent a pound on sugars above 16 Dutch standard and an additional one-tenth of a cent against sugars imported from countries paying an export bounty. Itcontinues the Hawaiian treaty admitting sugars from the Sandwich islands free o; duty, and places a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses testing above 40 degrees by the polariscope. The schedule goes into effect Jan. 1, 1895, and the bounty is continued up to that date. CompromHe Amendment Passed. Mr. Jones offered the “compromise” amendment fixing the duty on raw and ro.ined sugar at 40 jer cent, ad valorem, with a differential < f one-eighth of 1 cent on sugars above 16 Dutch standard and an additional one-tenth on sugars imported from countries giving an expert bounty, continuing the Hawaiian treaty in force and imposing a duty of 2 cents a gallon on molasses.
