DISCRIMINATION MUST CEASE.
Amtriean Cattle Ar All Right and the
OottroniDt Will Prov It.
Waariington, June 21. The action
outlined in the interview witb Bellamy
Storrer before hit Bailing for Europe,
looking to making vigorous representa
tion! to Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium and doubtleni to France, for a
modification of the discriminating
ineanurea agalnnt American cattle, ia
the renult of the indefatigable efforts
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilnon to
combat the prejudice of the Old World
against onr farm products and to secure
to our exjiortersat leant the same rights
as are enjoyed by those of other coun
tries. Ever since the new administra
tion began, Secretary Wilnon has been
pushing this matter. He han had fre
quent interviews with the president
and Secretary Sherman on the subject.
Several new diplomatic appointees have
hud conferences with the agricultural
department officials, at which questions
of this kind were discussed and the
situation explained.
The state department is now co-oer-ating
in the movement and in various
ways has instructed it icprcHcututivcs
going to the countries named to state
their cause to the resjieetive govern
ments, letting out the discriminations
lnisised on our products, together with
data showing them to tie unjustifiable.
These statements will also show that
the restrictions placed on American cut
tle pnxdude any material danger of
Ions hy disease or otherwno.
Official reports of exMirts in the field
will he eited to demonstrate that
American cattle products show a great
er exemption from disease than those
of practically all other countries.
These representations will lie accom
panied hy the significant warning that
if the unjust discriminating measures
are continued, proper action will have
to ho taken by this government. Dis
criminating nations will be given to
understand that the rights of Ameri
can exortors must be recognized, or
else privileges accorded foreign pro
ducers will be withdrawn.

Two Entire Schedules Fin

8EVEHAL AMENDMENTS OFFERED

I Nit In Ordnr.
Washington, June 19. The senate
made greater progress today on the tar
iff bill than any day since the debate
opened. Two entire schedules, cover
ing 20 pages, were completed, namely,
schedule II, on spirits, wines and bev
erages, and schedule 1, on manufactur
ed cotton gisxls. Thin bringn the sen
ate to the flax schedule with the im
ortiint wool schedule standing next.
The sirtion of the bill passed today
is substantially the same us that re
ported, the committer) changes ls iiu
unimportant, while the opponitiou
amcudmentn of Jones of Arkansas and
Vest were systematically rejected by
majorities varying from five to ten.
Allison secured the adoption of u
new paragraph to the cotton schedule
with a view of compensating the cot
ton manufacturers for the n-ccnt ac
tion of the senate iu placing raw cot
ton on the dutiable list.
Iu paragraph 2S'J, on motion of Alli
son, the house provision was restored.
The remaining paragraphs on spirits
(2U0 to 2'j:i inclusive) were u greed to
as resirted, without npiiositiou.
Tlie wine paragraph led to some dis
cussion. That on champagne ami other
sparkling wines was agreed to as re
tsirtcd. The committee paragraph on
still wines was perfected by striking j
out the provision for an additional duty i
of ii cents on each bottle or jug and the
substitution of a provision that the'
tilled hottlcH or jugs shall pay the
same duty as if empty. )
White presented statements from :
representative wine men of California, j
criticising the paragraphs on wines us
not affording sufficient protection.
White it Idi-d bis views that these I
wines, brandies, and similar articles i
should Is-liberally taxed on. the prin
ciple that they are articles of luxury,
although he would not make the tax
prohibitive.
Vest said the rub's were practically
prohibitory. In effect, it compelled
people to drink California wine or go
without wine.
The senate paragraph was agreed to.
The paragraph on cherry juice, etc.
(20H), was luinlilied by the committee
to include the house proviso of "con
taining no alcohol, or not more than
eight per cent of alcohol," and thus
agreed to.
On ginger ale, soda water, etc.,(2UU),
the committee changed the wording
from "other similar waters" to "lev
erages containing no alcohol." The
paragraph was then agreed to with a
committee provision that all tilled bot
tles shall have the character of their
contents blown in the bottles.
Schedule I, cotton manufactures,
was then taken up. The first para
graph (MOD, cotton thread an. I yam,
wan contested by Jones of Arkansas.
He ssike at length on the ability of
the American cotton manufacturer to
coin m'Ic against the foreign producer
without high duties.
The debate, although on the first
paragraph of the cotton schedule, Im k
a Wide range, covering the entire cot-
ton question.
Jones of Arkansas offered an amend
ment in the nature of a test on the en
tire cotton schedule, promising the
Wilson rates on cotton thread and
yarns, liejected, 20 to 30, McKnery
voting with the liepublicans iu the
negative. The Democratic senatois,
llacon, Clay, Mi Laurin and Tillman,
who had voted for a duty on raw cot
tons were in the iilliiniative on thin
motion to le.lnce the rate on manufac
tured cotton. After this contest, rapid
progress wan tm.de on the schedule,
the paragraphs being agieed to as re
Mirtcd. On motion of Allison, paragraph Ilia
wan changed to exclude braids and cor-
ingn, inserting suspeuuers an. I Unices
at 40 per cent and reducing the rate on
labels for gin incuts to .Ml cents ht
pound and !I0 per cent ad valorem.
Allison also proposed a new para
graph, Sl'.l'a, with u view to meeting
the duty heretofore inisisod on raw
cotton. He said the duty on raw cot
ton, if it remained in the bill, would
probably require an entire ovcihauling
of the cotton schedule at it later date.
The additional pi.rugri.pl. provides that
on all cotton yarns liner than No. 10
single, and on the goods manufactured
thereof, the duty ahi.ll be 10 er cent
in addition to the rates of the cotton
schedule.
Tillman said he was one of the lVm
oerats voting (or a duty on raw cotton.
He avowed that he wanted the bill
loaded as heavily as possible, no an to

'In fsss a proMisal for u joint guars
auty of the neutrality of the Hawaiian
i-lands by the United States, Oeriraiv
and (ireat llritain was .hi lined on tl e
announced ground that the relation of
the United States to the island wa
sufficient for the end in view. Iu brief,
from 120 to IMUt the course of the
United State toward the island- ha
consistently favored their autonomous
welfare with the exclusion of alt for
eign influences save our own to the ex
tent of upholding eventual annexation
us a neces-ary outcome of that policy.
"Not only is union of the Ha
waiian ti rritory to the United States
no new scheme, but it I- the inevit
able consequence of the relation stei l
fastly maintained with that mid l'.n ilic
domain for three-quarters of a century.
Its accomplishment has been merely a
question of time. While its failure in
iv.'H may not be a cause for congratula
tion, it is ccit.tiuly a proof of the dis
interestedness of the United State-, the
delay of four years having abundantly
sufficed to establish the right and abil
ity of the republic to enter as a sov
ereign government info a conventional
union with the United States, thus
realizing a purpose held by the Ha
waiian 'ople and proclaimed by suc
cessive Hawaiian government through
" TO years of their virtual depeu I-
ence upon the benevolent protection of
the United States.
"The report of the secretary of state
exhibits the character and course of te
cent negotiations and features of the
treaty it-elf. The organization and
administrative details of incorporation
arc iiece-asrily left to the wisdom of
congress, and I cannot doubt that when
the funcitoii of the constitutional treaty
making power shall be performed with
the largest regard for the interest of
this rich domain and for the welfare of
the inhal.it. uits thereof.
