Ail Kinds pf latest farm Washington, July 1. As a result of the rapid work on the tariff bill tlin close of the long debate In the senate and the final vote on the bill is felt to be very near at hand. Two of the most important provisions, those re lating to the Hawaiian treaty of reci procity and the duty on coal, were perfected, while another source of much conflict, the icciprocity section, was matured by the finance committee and presented to the senate. Aside from these larger Items, a great many minor ones, which had caused more or less conflict, were disposed of. The Hawaiian provision of the house bill was restored after a brief debate, and without the formality of a vote, This had the effect of leaylng the Hawaiian treaty of reciprocity In full force and effect. During the day Turplespoke In sup port of an amendment for a 2 percent, tax on Inheritances. His speech was notable for Its picturesque metaphorcs and the virulence of his denunciation of the pending bill. Referring to the enormous bounty to go to the wool manufacturers, ho declared that It was not for the Interest of tho sheep, but of the wolf In sheep's clothing, who would strip the babo In the cra dles of the articles essential to Its use. We have developed in this country a new breed of animals. "They are tar Ill hwlne," exclaimed Turple. "High protective tariff swine. They are vo racious feeders, with fierce appetites, and have a regard only for the In'ant Industry of bristles." The senator wenton to characterize the rates of the bill as akin to bribery and rapine, "dictated by the banditti of syndicates." And yet, he declared, out of this unclean mass of bribes and gifts It was expected to distill the pure water of prosperity. You might as well expect to enjoy paradise by en tering the domain of the damned. COAL PARAGRAPH ADOPTED. The senate adopted the coal para graph of tho tariff bill, fixing a dtlEy of 67 cents, by a vote of 30 to 24, CONFIRMATION. The senate confirmed the nom ination of Clarence Ide, to be marshal for the district of Washing ton. NAMED BY THE PRESIDENT.

Tho telegram from Supt. Irwin was fol lowed by several more from citizens of Corvallls to Mr. Gatch, congratu lating him upon his father's election. Goy. Lord and State Secretary Kin- cald supported Mr. Miller, as a strong political obligation dating back to tho state convention, held them together. SKETCH OP MR. GATCH. Prof. Thomas M. Gatch lias been a lifelong educator. Ho was born In Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1833. He received a good common school education, after which ho entered the Ohio Wcs leyan university, from which Institu tion he graduated in 1855. He then entered the Lane theological school and was graduated from It. After this he went to the mines In Cali fornia. Soon after reaching the Golden West, he was elected to tho chair of professor of mathematics In tho Uni versity of the Pacific at Santa Clara, California. After serving In that capacity for a time, ho went to Olym pla where he accepted a professor ship in ono of the early adyanced schools, which he held untill coming to Salem In 1859 to accept a professor ship under President Hoyt, of Wil lamette University. In 1800 Prof Gatch succeeded to the presidency and occupied that position untill 1805, to become principal of the public schools of Santa Cruz, California. After remrlnlng in California for a year, ho took the position of princi pal of the old Portland Academy, un till ho wes again called to Willamette University in 1870, con tinulng In that position until 1880, when he assumed a position in tho State university at Eugene. After one year he was called to Tho Dalles to the presidency of tho Wasco acad emy, which he organized, and over which he presided from 1881 to 181. At the end or that time he resigned his position and removed to Seattle, Wn., having been called to accept tho presidency of tho University of Wash ington, which position he held from 1885 to 1800. When assuming tho presidency of this university tho en rollment showed 102 students, and when ho resigned In 1890,700 students were on tho rolls. When President Patch resigned his position he accepted tho chair of po litical economy and history, which ho holds at this time. Several months ago the new board of control of tho unlveislty, uppolntcd by Gov. J. It. Rogers, of Washington, removed Prof. Gatch, but at the next meeting of the board the action was reconsid ered and his services retained. Prof. Gatch is prominent In fra ternal circles, being a Free Mason of high degree, annd a prominent Odd Fellow. In the last named order he was elevated to thehighcst position In the gift of tho membership of Oregon. REPRIEVE ASKED For a Man Who Will Otherwise Hang on July 3. July 2, is the dat3 set for the execu tion of Lemuel Mclson. Much specula tion Is being Indulged In as io the governor's probablo action in this case. Attorney Hart, of Crescent City, Cal., arrived In the city today, to en deavor to secure a stay of execution, pending a new trial. Tho evidence is purely circumstan tial.. Mclson has so far steadily re fused to talk, and will see no visit ors. Unless the governor should grant a stay of execution. Mclson will be hanged Friday, July 2. Ho will be the first man hanged in Josephine county. THE PACTS are that the crime was committed in Curry county onofourth mile from tho line. But he was lndictcdf0r having committed tho crlmo In Jo sephine. Being penniless his lawyer did not appeal for lack of funds. Attoyncy Hart has just como Into the case and believes there Is good causo for an appeal. He makes ulll daylt that a bill of exceptions cannot bo prepared until July G. and wants Governor Lord to grant a reprieve until ah appeal can bo taken.
