A Halt Occurred in the Tariff
Debate.
PETTIOREWS VOCAL CORDS FA I LED
He Afterward llecovernd--SeiiHte Starts
Through the Mill Tor tlio
Second Time.
Washington, June 2G. An abrupt
and startling halt in the tariff debate
occurred in the Benate at 2:30 o'clock
this afternoon, when, in the midst of a
passionate speech, Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota, waa stricken with par
alysis of the vocal cords, which brought
his vehement speech to a close with a
eentenee ital f-uttered. The aenator waa
not physically incapaciatated, except in
the sudden loss of the power of speech.
Although lie took his seat unaided, his
associates felt that grave possibilities
were involved in such an attack. They
were quickly by his side, and he was
ministered to with as littie confusion as
possible. He left the chamber soon after
and was taken home by his friends. The
debate proceeded, but no further prog
ress on the tariff bill was made, and the
awe-like feeling occasioned by this inci
dent led to an adjournment at 3 o'clock.
Tho senate today began its second pas
sage through the bill, the purpose being
to dispose of all items previously passed
over. Tne paragraphs considered were
in the chemical and earthen ware
schedule, and failed, to elicit more than
technical debate, except in the instance
terminating with Tettigrew's aflliction.
The Republican tariff managers are
hopeful of being able to complete con
sideration of the tariff bill in the Benate
by next Wednesday night. The Demo
cratic leaders of do not concede the possi
bility of an early conclusion. They gen
erally place it a week further off, or
about the 7th or 8th of July but admit
the end may come by Saturday of next
week.
Of the problems still unsolved by the
Republicans, lead ore, coal, iron ore,
gypsum, tallow and a few chemicals are
giving the most trouble, but there is
no doubt of an adjustment on all of these
which will hold the full party vote.
The disposition ia to hold the ratea at
present fixed on lead and iron ore, with
the intention of making changes in con
ference. Advocates of a high rate on
lead ore, apparently, are prepared to
meet their opponents half way in con
ference and accept a rate of cents.
The finance committee has practically
decided to abandon the proposed tax on
bank checks, which at one time waB so
favorably considered, an also to an in
crease of 44 cents a barrel in the beer tax
and a change in the tobacco tax.
The is some difficulty in the judiciary
committee in agreeing upon the form of
the anti-truat amendment, but all proba
bilities point to the incorporation of Pet
tua' proposition directed epecifially at
the sugar trust and of yery little more.
It is expected the reciprocity amendment
will be ready for presentation next
Tuesday.
There will probably be objection to re
gion of the house provision for the
'continuance of the Hawaiian reciprocity
agreement on sugar, but the finance com
mittee will favor such an agreement,
and the probabilities are that the Rep
publicans will support it solid in the
pending action upon the annexation
treaty.
The question of the duty on tea is again
receiving the attention of the committee.
The inclinations of the committee are
still against the tax, and if kept in it

It Was a Gala Day.
Fokest Gkove, Or., June 26. Today
was a gala day in Forest Grove, and the
city was gay with yellow, blue and red,
for the Knights of Pythias of WBHhing
ton county held their annual conclave
here. Five hundred visitors from twenty
miles 'round, in apite of threatening
weather, gathered.
This morning a procession of 150
Knights and half as many Rathbone
Sisters marched from town, headed by
two bands and distinguished visitors in
carriages, to the Naylor grove. From a
stand decorated with Pythian colors,
Mayor Hinman extended to the
visitors the freedom of the Forest city,
and Mayor Barrett, of Hilisboro, ac
cepted the gracious gift. A baaket din
ner followed, and in the afternoon Hon.
William Rasmus delivered an address on
the tenets oi the knightly order. A tug-of-war
between Hilisboro, Glencoe, Cor
nelius and Forest Grove lodges took
place, and Forest Grove won. Bicycle
races followed. In the evening there
was a monster clam-bake and a hop.

Electric Bitters is a medicine Buited
for any season, but perhaps more gener

and Bluggish and the need of a tonic and

this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi

Good Feeling Promoted by President
HcKlnley'x CourtenleN.
Nkw York, June 26. A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says :
The favorable impression produced in
Englnnd by President McKinley m ap
pointing a special ambassndor for the
historic occasion of the queen's jubilee is
emphasized by the distinction with
which it has been received at court and
in the highest social circles. Ail the
members of the special embassy share
in the exceptional honors and atten
tions paid to thttn ns representatives of
the United States. Royalty has set the
style and every reference to America in
the public press is sympathetic nnd ap
preciative. The fact is generally recog
nized that America has departed from
her usual half-hearted methods of diplo
matic intercourse with foreign nations
and taken her place with dignity and
distinction in the world's court of honor
opened in London for the purpose of
congratulating the queen and her empire
on her long and prosperous reign.
Good feeling hae been promoted by
this exceptional demonstration of Ameri
can courtesy and appreciation, and the
way may have been opened for the ad
justment of several questions vitally af
fecting the United States. For example,
the three silver envoya with Senator
Wolcott at their head will arrive in Lon
don next week, after entering upon their
work in Paris, on the most favorable cir
cumstances. Their main object is to
interest the leading European powers in
the question of bimetalisin nnd to secure
their assent to reassembling the mone
tary conference. The French govern
ment favors this project, and Germany
only awaits the action of England in
order to fall into line.
The house of commons has passed an
academic resolution in favor of bimetal
ism, but the ministers are divided on the
subject, Mr. Balfour is a convicted hi-
metalist, and several of his colleagues
are of the same mind. Lord Salisbury
himself is known to share Mr. Balfour's
views, although he ia more cautious and
moderate in' expressing them. Mr.
Chamberlain and others are on the
fence and there is only one pronounced
monometalist with conviction unclouded
by doubt. This is the chancellor of the
exchequer, with financial London be
hind him.
The important fact, which is well un
derstood in the best circles of informa
tion, is that the ministers, while unable
to agree upon any other point, will con
sent to sending delegates to the new con
ference. This may be stated with the
utmost poBitivness. These delegates,
moreover, will not be hidebound, mono
metaliats, convinced in advance that
nothing can be done for silver, but open
minded men ready to discuss the com
plex question in all its bearings.

The Durrnut. Case.
San Francisco, June 26. The legal
advisers oi Theodore Durrant have no
fears that their client will be hanged on
Jnlv 7. Thev deny that they are strug
gling for delay, and say that the leading
law point involved in tne appeal to tne
United States court is that Durrant's
prosecution, having been based on infor
mation instead of upon inuicunent uy
Hintfrand iurv. is void. Durrant himself
believes he will never be hanged, and
tells his comrades in prison that before
many months he will walk forth free.
