noon, which is expected to materiolly
assist In disposing of the speeches.

bill, expressed satisfaction at the out
look, saying he believed there will be
general co-operation In bringing the
discussion to a close as speedily as
possible.

Dutch standard provision of the pres

between raw and refined sugar, so
that the duty would be 95 cents er
hundred on sugar testing 75 degrees
and 3 1-2 cents for each additional
degree. Mr. Hrlatow expressed con
fidence that the amendment would
receive a considerable vole.
Senator Gore asked and obtained
