RECIPROCITY AND RETALIATION. AmoridmentR to tlio Tariff Hill SInko Ample IrovlsIou Therefor. Washington, July 3. Reciprocity and retaliation were the two phases of the tariff bill, to occupy the attention of the senate yesterday to the exclusion of all other subjects. Both provisions were agreed to, although the debate on the reciprocity clause" was protracted to 6 p. m. Shortly before adjournment Mr. Allison endeavored to secure an agree ment on the time for a final vote, but Mr. Teller would not consent to fixing the time until all proposed amendments had been submitted to the senate. As Mr. Allison was not prepared to submit these amendments he withdrew his re quest, and tho time for the final vote was left open, The retaliatory clause provides that whenever any country bestows an ex port bounty on any article, then upon the Importation of such article Into the United States there shall be levied, In addition to the duties provided by the act, an additional duty equal to the amount of the bounty. The two Dem ocratic senators from Louisiana, Caf fery and McEnery, voted with the lie pobllcans In the affirmative. The reciprocity clause empowers the president, with the advice and consent of the senate, to make reejet" oclty trea ties, glvlnc 20 per cent "deduction In duties on designated articles or placing articles on the free list.
