Tho amendment related, he said, to tho claim for sugar bounty. Ouo part of tho claim, he said, was for tho bounty which had beeu paid to August 'i*, 1893. when tho McKin? ley act became law. Auothor part of it was half bounty ou tho sugar produced after that date, The Committee on Olaims, he said, was divided ou both proposi? tions. The majority of tho commit teo believed that the first of tho claim should be paid iu full (about S'227,000) but the committee was uot willing to reoommaud favorable ac? tion ou the secoud part, but loft for tho action of tho Committee ou Ap? propriations and the Souate.
