THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
Washington, June 15. The Senate by 37 votes to 29 votes rejected a motion to restore the McKinley rate on wool. Other proposals with regard to the wool duty are before the Senate and the debate continues. The Senate, by a majority of two votes, has rejected the amendment fixing the tariff rates at less thau half those imposed by the McKinley tariff. June 17. In the Senate an amendment to place manufactures wholly or partly comprised of wool on the free list was rejected, only three Senators voting in its favor. The Senate has now completed the schedule dealing with woollen goods in the new tariff. modification to suit the wishes of the Republicans were adopted, but the question of the admission of raw wool into the States free has not yet been voted on. The question of its being included in the free list will be discussed later on. The Senate’s refusal on Friday last to put a duty on raw wool is generally regarded of an indication that it will remain on the free list.
