The senate made greater progress on the tariff bill than on any day since the debate opened, completing more than half of the important schedules. The speak ing was by Democratic icnators, the Republicans taking no part in the de bate, except at rare Intervals, to an swer questions which would ba to cx pediate the advance of the bill. Jones, of Arkanras, and Vest urged numerous amendments, embodying in the main the Wilson rates, but these were rejected with one exception. Tills exception relates to rails, on which Vest secured a reduction from 2 to It cents per pound. It was the first change made without the assent of the committee,and was due mainly to the listless manner of many sena tors in voting. REED THREATENED. Washington, June 3. Speaker Reed, like every other public man in high oillclal station, lias received threatening articles from time to" time, but never has paid any atten tion to them. Yesterday, however, one was received of such a nature that it seemed to command more than ordinary attention, and the speaker's private secretary, without Mr. Reed's knowledge, turned It over to the po lice who, after Investigation, have come to the conclusion that it was written by some one desirous of per petrating a hoax for sensational pur poses. This afternoon Police Inspector Uollinberger conferred with District Attorney Davis and concluded that there was no law covering the case. The writer, accordingly, will not be arrested. Sending threatening lan guages, written on an enyelope or on a postal card, is illegal, but send ing such in an enclosed letter is Dot. Cheyenne Trouble. Washington, D. C, Juno 3. A telegram received at the Indian bureau from agent Stuoch, at the Tongue river reservation announces the arrest of Stanley, the Cheyenne, whose ad mitted murder of Iloover, a sheep herder precipitated the Indian troublo there.

The agent has been telegraphed to note the wired instructions of last night from the interior department, directing him to co-operate witli the civil authorities, and to use every ef fort to avert further trouble. That Capt. Stouch has shown himself com petent to handle the difficulty, the otllcials believe to bo manifest from the telegraphic history of the trouble. Affairs in Corea. San Francisco, June 3. Accord ing to mall advices a crisis has been precipitated in Corean affairs by the action of Russia in virtually forcing the acceptances of her offices as in structor after the cabinet had decided to abandon the proposal. All the ministers, including Kim Pyongsi and Cho Pyong Chong, who had opposed the scheme, haye tendered their resig nation.

Ho. left his old home for his present, Swelling a year ago, but used some of the buildings at the former residence Lately Kauffman discovered that thieves were raiding ills granary, lo cated near the! old residence. He asked his son George to take up Ills night quarters in the deserted home and watch for two pluudcrors. George Kauffman began his vigils two weeks ago. He was unsuccessful and reg ularly went to the other house for his breakfast. Tuesday morning he did not come in at the usual hour. The family waited? some time without concern. Then his father started for the old houscj accompanied by the hired man. TJiey went to the house, but there was no trace of the young man, i They soon scented the strawstack, which had been nearly burned down and was still smoking. They were horrified to find on top of the smoking straw the body of young Kauffman, burned to a crisp.

Weyler M?y Be Recalled Ameri can Steamer Fired Upon. Madrid, June 3. Premier Castillo lias tendered to tho queen regent the resignation of the cabinet, owing to the difficulty experienced by the ministers in carrying the government, in view of the parliamentary situa tion caused by the liberals refusing to take part In the deliberations of tho cortes, The trouble was due to the recent personal encounter between the Duke or Tctiian and Scnor Comas. resignations accepted. LoNDON.June 3. The Madrid corre spondent of the Times says: The queen regent has accepted the re signations of the cabinet of Senor Canovas del Castillo It has caused a profound sensation. Before finally taking this step her majesty begged Senor Canovas to remain in olllco un till tomorrow, in order that she have another opptirtunity to consider tho matter in council, but this only meant that the resignation would bo accepted. Senor Canovas tendered his resignation because he could not again nndertake to re-establish relations witli tho liberals, lie preferred to leave the crown full liberty to decide as to the best solution. Both houses of tho cortcs voted without debate tho financial supplies necessary to enable the cortcs to ad journ sine die, and granted authoilty for tho issue of treasury bonds and tho contraction of loans guaranteed by the Spanish treasury to coyer tho ex penses of the war In Cuba and the Philippine islands, with a special Hen on tho revenues of Spain for the Cu ban war loan. Tho queen regent signed the decreo suspending sittings, whereupon Senor Canovac immcdlatlly tendered his resignation. MAY MEAN WEYLEU'S RECALL. New York, June 3, A World dis patch from Madrid says: The crisis Is extremely grave. The excitement in political and financial cities Is Intense. Hover slnco tho death of King Alfonso XII, in 1885, has Queen Chrlstiania found herself in so serious and difficult a position. One of two tilings she must do: She may keep Senior Canovas as premier, witli his conservative cabinet intact, or modified, and keep General Wey ler in Cuba to perservo in his politi cal policy with tho uraple means re cently voted by the cortes, or she may call on Senor Sagasta to form a liberal cabinet, in which case Senor Moret probably would minister of for eign affairs, with opportunity follow hi well-known inclination to come to an understanding with the United States. Senor Maura, the great homo ruler, minister for tho colonle;s Marshal Lopez Domlnguez, war raln lster.and Spain's best financier, Scnor Uamazo, minister of finance. Such a cabinet probably would send Marshal Campos to Cuba with full power to conciliate the insurgents and the loyalists by establishing more radical homo rule than Senur Canovas con templated, and thus disarm the United States. Tiie queen can only pursue the lat ter course, after duly considering all tho prospects, because It would bo virtually staking everything on the success of the liberal government and policy. Tho liberals seem confident, and tho conservatives aro downcast. In the military and political clubs the majority believe that tho queen will decide to have a liberal government. Tho general impression throughout the city tonight Is that Senor Sagasta is likely to succeed Senor Canovas as prime minister, as the lattar could hardly revise tiie colonial policy or recall Weyier, FIRED ON AMERICAN VESSEL.
