Washington, July 10.—The final vote
in the senate, passing the tariff bill by
a vote of 45 to 34, was announced
nftsr a protracted debate which was
almost devoid of animation until with
in a few minutes before the close
when there arose a sharp controversy
over the party standing of the insur

however, disclaimed any such inten

The discussion throughout the final
hours had been chiefly by Senators
La Follette and Gore, both of whom
criticised the bill, but neither of whom
aroused much enthusiasm in the thor

Beveridge announced the determina

the bill.
The announcement called forth a
sharp rejoinder from Chairman Al
drich of the finance committee, in
which he undertook to remind the in
dependent senators that, being in the
minority, they were without authority
to speak for the Republican party.
Senators Crawford, Clapp and Nel

for their right to vote in
with the dictates of their own Judg

with vehemence their

Nelson asserted that "after the little
state of Rhode Island has disappeared
from the map Minnesota will be list

Neither Rhode Island nor Rhode Isl

Senators Aldrich, Cullom, Hale, Bur
