W A S H I N G T O N , Jan. 22.- The l ight to amend the sugar schedulo of the Wilson bi l l was made to-day. I t opened at once under the agreement of Friday setting apart three hour* for the purpose. Somo timo was spent in arranging the details of tho discussion by the various interests. The sugar men f inal ly asked that an hour earh bo given to tho advocates of the bounty m tho Wilson b i l l , to the advocates of tho retention y f the McKuiiey law bounty, and to ,ne advocates of a duty on sugar. I t *as objected to this that it gavo no opportunity to the advocates of Ireo uura r to bo heard, l l was f inal ly ng.ecd that tho Louisiana mt misers, as (be ones most interested, should have n i l hour and tho remainder of the houso should lako its chances of recognition thereafter.

'McKae. democrat, of Arkansas offered an amendment to abolish tho sugar bounty, loa\ ing it on the free list. Ho thought it was no t ime to bo paying boun­ties when the treasury was bankrupt and borrowing money at a per cent. A bounty would cost tho people of the country, said McRae, as it stood, faO.OO'J.OOJ. Tho bounty last year cost JIO.OJO.OUO. Ilo con­tended that a bounty was unconstitutional and undemocratic and should he abol­ished.

Meikel john offered an amendment to that of McRae that tho supar bounty pro­vision of the McKinloy law lie retained. That provision of the McKinley law, he •aid had been passed to a f f o r d an oppor­tunity for American capital . The purpose of that act had been fu l f i l l ed . I t had re­sulted in a vast investment of capital , I1S0.0O0.0U0 in Louisiana, $15,O0O.OUO in Cal i fornia , and SlU.OOJ.OJO in Florida. I f the provision of the Wilson bi l l passed, this great industry would bo placed at the mercy of tho foreign producers of sugar, at the same time giving the sugar trust a protection of i ) per cent, or a quarter ol 1 cent on over)' uound of refined sugar.

Hackery, democrat, of Missour. f : c j as a substitute for the am • u , a prop- sit i o n to abolish In.tin IMI sugar and p'ace raw and rcllue 1 sugar ou the free l.st. I f there "as anything, said D ickeiy, on which l i " nought domocracy wanted unity, i t was opi>osition to this bounty. Bm sorghum and maple sugar bounties were petty larceny, while the bounty on cane sugar rose to the dignity of grand larceny.

B i a m e r , democrat, of Louisiana, wanted to know why Dockery d id not strike down a l l duty and a l l protection on cotton and woolen goods and al l other articles and place them on the free list. The la t ter replied that a l l reforms could not bo accomplished in a day. Tho far­mers who followed the plow did not de­mand a bounty on w heat and com. A l l they wanted was an equal chance in tho raco of l i f e . Cannon, republican, of I l l i ­nois, supported Meikel jo l i i i ' sumci id i i ie i iL The free sugar clause oT tho McKinloy law hail saved the |>eopli> of tho country, rich and poor alike, annually f r o m £1 to tLM per capita.

Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska, sup­ported the bounty of the provision Wilson

; b i l l and maintained that tho present con­gress bad no right to bind f t iu i ro con-

1 grosses. Ho favored f ieo sugar and an ; income tax. Dingley of Maine and Mcr-[ ccr of Nebraska, supported the present

bounty, and Tarsncy of Missouri defended the bounty provision ol the Wilson b i l l . Robertson, democrat, of Louisana offered an amendment to strike out the bounty provision and insert, " A l l sugar shall pay a duty u p o n a poliariscopic test as fo l lows : not above 7.S degrees. 1 cent duty, and for every additional degree or f rac t ion of a degree. U-10 of a cent per pound addit ional ; and a l l sugars above 1>; Dutch standard an additional | luty ot 5-20 of a cent per pound; provided that a l l sugars w hen exported I rom the country which pays the bounty on sugar shall pay in addition to these rales of duty an equal bounty paid by such country."'

Washington, democrat, of Tennessee, urged a 1 cent tax lor revenue on the ground that that was the most effective means of raising revenue. Snodgrass,

i deiAocrat, of Tennessee, and Mallory, i democrat, of Florida, opposed the bounty. 1 Harter urged that Ins substitute be

adopted as a means of raising the reve­nue, as the treasury was "hanging by its eyelids.' ' Bowers, republican, of Califor­nia, was opposed to the abolition of any port ion of the existing bounty on sugar. Hooker, democrat, of Mississippi, fav> r c j the restoration of the sugar duty as in ac­cordance w ith the Chicago pla t form. War­ner, democrat, of New York, offered an amendment to place refinod sugar abso­lutely on the freo list . Simpson, populist, of Kansas, declared tiiat tiie freo sugar given by the McKinley law furnished iho best example of what the removal of onerous protective duties wouid do for the consumer.

I l lanchard. democrat, of Louisiana, said it w as not tho duty ot the democratic par ly , whose last p la t fo rm had declared lor a revenue tantf . to restore the duty on sugar. Haines, republican, of Nebraska, advocated tlio retention of Iho present bounty. I'oatner, democrat,of Lou. liaaa. in concluding the debate lor the sugar men. insisted tlint tno traditions of tho democratic party should bo adhered to and a revenue duty lie placed on sugar. Had Louisiana imagined that her great industry was to be stricken dow n,her vote would not have been given to Cleveland at the last election. Payne, republican of New York , opposed the restoration of tho sugar duty because it was a tax on tt.e breakfast table. He defended the boun.y provision of tho M i K n i l e y law. Wilson concluded the debate in advocacy of iho bounty provision of the pen l i a r l i l t.

The voting began at 1:20. Af ter a great deal of w rangling as to the manner in which the amcadiuen's should be voted

upon, i t was decided by the chairman that he would permit four amendments to be ponding to each of the paragraphs 180 and 1:1, the first relating to the bounty on sugar and ihe latter to the duty on re­fined sugar. The first vote was taken upon Meiklejohu's amendment to substitute the provisions of tho M K i.ley law. Defeated without division by a strict party vote.

Tha vote then recurred upon the amend­ment ot Pr i ro inserting the provisions of the Mil l s b i l l . Tins amendment bad the support of quite a number of democrats, including its author. Bailey, Hooker and tbo member- o f the Louis ana delegation. The remainder of the denv-crats voted against i t . For the first t ime the repub­licans showed their band, declining to vote at a l l upon the proposition, which de­feated it 1!) lo U'.t. The Tole then came u p o n Harter 's substitute, which was lost without division. This made Ihe vote re­cur upon McRie's original proposition to abolish altogether the Iwiiuty provis­ions ol tho Wilson lu l l . Quito a number ot republicans, including Cannon. Hop­kins, Da'zed and Funk, voted w i t h the radical democrats against the members of the committee for this proposition. Some o f them were Springer, Relley, Oates. Drown. Johnson of Ohio, Culberson, War­ner, L lyton, Washington. Caruthere, Wise, Stone, Everett, Hatlcy. Mitguire, H i r e , Ritchie, Geary, Harter, Sayres. Goldi ior mid Cumin.n::s. end was carried bv tho overwhelming m i j >nty of Ilia tool ' . This action abolishes the bounty on sugar.

A vole was then taken upon the amend­ments to section M l , providing for a duty on relined sugars. Robertson's amend­ment, providing for a duty of f r o m 1 l - l o pound upward on sugars tented by the polariscope not above 7a <legi*ees. This was offered as tho first amendment. T o this Warne r offered un amendment to place rx f ined sugar on tha freo list and al ter quite a lengthy parliamentary dis­cussion as to the status of the pending Biiiendiuoiits, it being claimed by the Louisiana memlxrs that a misunder­standing existed, owing to tho ru l ing of the chair. Hy unanimous consent, Breck­inridge of Kentucky was allowed to of fer" a substitute for two amendments, placing a u n i f o r m duty of 1 cent upon a l l sugars below the 16 Dutch standard. The vote was tlrst taken upon Warner 's amend­ment to abolish tho duty on refined sugar, and again the rad cal democrats scored another signal victory, the republicans decl ining to vote. By a vote of 137 lo S2 the duty on rctlned sugar was abolished, . l n m | those who voted for i t were Johnson of Ohio, Coleman, Heard, Springer. Lockwood, Mutcbler , M B -guire, Abbott , Mar t in . Bland and Simpson, while the Louisiana delegation, the members of the ways and means committee generally, and Plai t , Wise and 0 utnmings voted against i t . The substitutu of llreekinridga was de­feated l i t to 67. Tho democratic sup­porters of Ihe Breckinridge amendment were unable lo secure enough followers to order tellers.

At this juncture , amid great confusion, the t imo came to take tho f ina l vote upon Robertson's amendiuci.t as amended by Warner 's amendment. A great deal of misunderstanding existed upon tho floor as to what effect ttic adoption of the amended proposition would mean. Tho republicans were hilariously j o y f u l at tho tangle in to which they bad gotten the democrats. Payne shouting that i f the pending pronosition was udoptcd it would hove the very incongruous effect ol plac­ing raw sugar ou Ihe dutiable list and re­fined sugar on the Ireo list. Richardson, who was in the chair, was appealed to In vain to state the ef fec t of the adoption of the |>eu<litig amendment. So much mis­understanding existed, even among same of the most s k i l l f u l parliamentarians on both sides, that Wilson Unaily decided amid great confusion, to move that the committee rise in order to gi ro everbodv an opportuni ty to examine over night into the parliamentary situation, and accord­ingly at I M the coniuiitteo rose and ttio houso look a recess unti l - o'clock.

Af te r tho reading of the Hawaiian cor­respondence sent in to-day by tho pre-u-dent, l ioi i tel le demanded recognition. Ilo charged that it was apparent f rom tho threo successive messages sent to the house that the government was encaged in foment ing an insurrection in a country with which the I 'nited States is at no ice. He desired to call up his privileged reso­lu t ion . Hot words between Boutclle and

I tho speaker followed. Hatch asked that ' Bouiello's words bo taken down and 1 Boiitelle was ordered lo tako his I seat. He refused lo do so and the I scrgeant-at-arms was called upon to I support the speaker's authori ty. Great I exc iement followed. Tho rule was read l a u d then tho speaker recognized the mo­

tion to resume consideration of the tar.IT ' b i l l . On the division Boutclle made a

point of no quorum. Tellers were ni>-pointed and it looked as though no quorum could be found and that the t a r i f f debate would bo suspended. Final ly , however, a bare quorum g it together and the sugar debate was continued.

At tho night session the fo l lowing mem­bers spoke: BrooUshire. McCreary, Gold. zter, Drodcrick. l l lbern and Avery.

J A C K S O N V I L L E , Jan. 22. - A f t e r a long confab w i th Mitchel l to-day at his train­ing quarters. Referee Kelly i c tu i lied con­vinced that Mitchel l wants to fight and is not suffering f r o m n sprained ankle. Mitchell offered to leave the whole matter of the check to the decision ol I v l l y , just as Corbet; had already done. '1 hereupon Kel l j made a demand on the club thai tha check be converted into cash and uiu $2 V M la mono, lie placed in his h u l ls by to-morrow nltertio an. A special meeting of the ciub was held to-night and i l l • elnb unanimously voted lo comply wi th Kelly's requirement and place Ibe }->.'•>> i n ins hands by 1100:1 I M M R W , T i l l , i * entirely saiisfaciory to al l concerned.

Late thn. i f I W H M a bil l was l l l c i l in the circuit court pi a v. 11 g for an injunct ion restraining the sheiilf Iroui interfer ing w ith the |>ro|K>scd exhibition In the pre*

•vc u: i . . 11 ol any person f rom entering the grounds and the l ik 1, The bi l l shows 111 it tho agreement for tlio contest is in ac­cordance with the citv ordinance, p i s s e d by virtue ot the power granted by tho legislature 10 regulate and Lct uso amuse­ments and exhibitions. Notice was served upon S ienfT Broward of tho actio n so. n ui ter the bi l l was II cd, and a bearing wi l l he had before Judge ( al l to-morrow.

Mayor Fletcher declared to-!light to an associated press reporter that the city had passed an ordinance perni . t t lng such con­tents, and had accepted money for a l i ­cense. 1'ndcr these circumstances be I K * lievcd It iho duty of the city to protect ihe club and the f lghtetsas far ns it can. "There has lieen conridcrable t a lk . " said the mayor, "about my swearinir in special policemen to protect the fighters and see­ing that they are allowed to have their l i t t lo a f fa i r without molestation. I have never done such a thing, nor wall I do it. These men are violanng no hijv of this municipality, and I have no right to inter­fere wi th them. Neither am I in anv way bound lo protect them lieyond seeing that they are allowed lo procii 'd under Iho or­dinance passed by the city council. This says Ihe chief of police must lie at tho ring side and satisfy himself that Iho par-tics have 11 permit and that tiio gloves weigh not less than live ounces. He wi l l bo at the ring, i f the light comes off 111 the arena. He wi l l look at tho i n n i m ami we.g'a the gloves. Then be wi l l allow them to proceed."

"But what about the m i l i t i a and tho sher i f f?"

"That is no business of the city's. I shall allow the men lo goancad, but i f tho authorities of Duval county or the state step 111 and stop the f igh: 11 is no affa i r of mine. The city council of Jacksonville cannot by passing an ordinance render void the common law, which, 1 under­stand. Governor Mi l rhed declares w i l l bo violated. Whether or not tho law is being violated is a matter foi the courts. Tncc. ty of Jacksonville has nothing to do with it and docs not propose to argue i t . We wil l allow the men lo proceed, but w i l l not pro­tect them il the slate or county slops them. We are no more bound lo protect tho Duval club since it has a license than we are bound to protect and guarantee success to a saloon kee|s*r or any other branch of business tor w hich a license has boen grained."

There is a large-sued rumor abroad that Mayor Fletcher has agreed to swear in I MJJ poll , emeu lo protec t the lighters. This 1 he to-night IKJS.lively denied.

Two baggage cars, a caboose and an ' engine pulled out of the siding in the ! yards ol the Florida Ceutral & Peninsula

1 railroad at 7 o'clock to-night. Inside the 1 wo cars were packed the circus lent and

'> the portab e seats of Frank Gentry's cir- 1

I cus. I n the caboose, tho blinds and slid- | ing shades of w Inch were t ightly d r a w n , ' there were IVj picked men, armed each w i th a brace of (.'oils' I t s . Ev ey man has been sworn in as a deputy sheriff, the oath having been administered by the sheriff of an adjaeetr county fr iendly to the promoters of the contest. Just where the tent is bound for no 0110 outside of tlio inner circle of the Duval club know s. This •novo is in consonance with a l i p M M out this af ernoon. It was admitted that the club would make a strung effort lo bi ing off the light in tho arena, and, fa i l ing Ihero, i l would bo prepared to load the fighters and s|>ectatuis 011 a special tram f o r a point at which tho men could light without molestation. This point would bo in readiness for iho uui l the day before tho date set.

I l is said tho last legal straw wi l l be c«. haustcd to force tho sheriff to terms. H iho armed forces which are to invade the city to-morrow, and winch, under tho adjutant general, are subject to tho call of the sherdl, can be dislodged by the issuance of an injunct ion, ihe fight w i l l take place in the cockleshell bui l i for that purpose. I f tho injunction dous not issue, then Iho men wi l l bo taken to the tented arena.

Adju tan t General Houston arrived at Jacksonville this afternoon and mado arrangements for quartering a company of the second battalion, wh.ch wil l arr.vn to-niorrow. " I am acnng under instruc­tions f r o m Governor Mi tche l l , " sa d ho, "and 1 wi l l carry them out M the letter." General l lou . ton does not an 1 icipato any Uoublc 1;. 1 re lent ing the battle and evi­dently 1 l i i i ike the llgat of the troops wil l be sull ier lit to deter the men f r o m enter. ing the 1 ing.

Muuag i r Bowdeti created consternation 111 the club rooms to-ii 'ghl I I I the preseuew of n lot of newspup. r men by making the start l ing announce 111 lit ih i i t the p r i i • lighters were going out ou a t r am 10 ligut and tha; Ilo newsiiaper v t a s to have more than one representative freo of charge and only 1 list most reputable papers of ttie country w. re lo l>o reprcseiitwl. H - went un to g.ve his reasons uud staled 1h.1t Hie club w is oul ila.tXJU and did not propose 10 have uowspaper men oil boanl displac­

ing patrons w ho would put up for tick* eta. This uulooked for assertion was brought about hy a request of I h e local newspaper men for ttckots for morning and evening new spapers un lor tho MMH control.

W . A. Brady, Corl iet t ' i man-g r, ar­rived here front M iv |s>rt this mo 11 ng. He said: "1 feel certain now, as always, that Mitchel l does not wsnt to l ight . I f be should get Into the ring, w h eh now seems less 1 pitiable than ever I olorv. lie w i l l do so merely to havo tho J.'.utm for­feit and the >2,i)>> w hich were wagered on him that h o vvou'd not appear in the r ing. The moment H M men shako hands Mitchel l w i l l do one of tw o things, cither deliberately foul Corbett, or quit a f te r the first round."

Bowdeti of the Duval Athletic club, when approached by a rcnrcsentatlve of the associated press, appeared i l l at ease. " I s t i l l n i a i n i a i i i , " said he, "that the tight w i l l take place. Charley U 111 o i l " of his tantrums, ani l , like some of his former moods. I b i s wi l l bo dissipated hef. ro n igh t fa l l . There is absolutely nothing lor Mitchell to do but f igh t . "
