Keiranliiis: Schedule.
DELAY DUE TO QUAY'S ABSENCE
vocnti'- of Protection for Wool III.
iitiefi-l IVIth tlie Kntes--Iay
in thu Sennte.
Washington, June 21. The senate
finance committee has practically
reached a conclusion on the wool sched
ule, but it will not be officially an
nounced till tomorrow. It was on this
account the wool ephedule was passed
over when reached Saturday. The de
lav is due to the absence of Senator
Quay, who is opposed to the increase
proposed in carpet wools. Quay is ex
pected to return tomorrow and make a
protest, but it is thought the rates
agreed upon will be reported. He may,
However, secure a modification which
will insure the use of wools imported as
carpet wools purely for that purpose.
The contention of the wool men is that
much wool imported for carpet purposes
is used in other ways.
The following are the rates the finance
committee has indicated a willingness to
grant: First class, 10 cents per pound;
second class, 11 cents; third class, if
worth over 10 cents per pouud, 7 cents;
it worth less than 10 cents, 4 cents.
These rates are not entirely satisfac
tory to the advocates of a high wool
tariff, but there is reason to believe
they will be accepted with but little pro
test. The rate is 1 cent less on both
first and secoud-claBS wools than that
allowed in the house bill, but the pro
vision made for third-claBS wool is bo
much more satisfactory than that made
by the house that they are inclined to
congratulate themselves upon the result
of their agitation and leave the matter
where these figures place it.
THU DAY IN THE SENATE.
Free Lltt Keiicliect lu Consideration of
the Turin Kill.
Washington-, June 21. The senate
today skipped the wool schedule until
tomorrow, and taking up the paper
schedule finished it in 35 minutes,
agreeing to all the finance committee
propositions. The sundries Bchedule
was taken up next. Coal was passed
oyer. On matches Allison moved an
amendment, making the rate 8 centB per
cross box instead of the senate rate of 20
percent. The democrats opposed the
change as in the interest of match trusts,
but the republicans denied this and car
ried the amendment. Another fight
arose over a duty of 10 per cent in safety
Inses. Pettigrew and Teller fought the
duty as a tax on the miner for the bene
fit of a trust. A tie vote resulted and
Pettigrew lost the amendment making
them free. At 2 o'clock this afternoou
the senate reached the free list of the
tariff bill.

United States cabled recently to Madrid
reports of the disposition ot our govern

that this cable prevented the recall of

Stands ut the Head.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that iB claimed for it; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the head. It

City of Tehuantpppr. Totally Destroyed
ly Kecen Shock.
O.kxkcx, Mexico, June 21. Earth
quake shocks and heavy rains have ser
iously interrupted telegraph communi
cation with the isthmus of Tehuantepec
during the last three days.
Advices were received here last night
that the official commission sent to the
city ot Tehuantepec by President Diaz
to investigate the reported formation of
a volcano and the extent of the earth
quake damages, has arrived at its des
tination and found the condition of
affairs much worse than they had ex
pected. The town of Tehuantepec con
tained about 15,000 inhabitants, and is
completely destroyed so far as houses
and buildings are concerned, not one re
main standing. There were a number of
substantial and costly buildings in the
town. The people are living in tents
and in the open air on the outskirts of
the place.
The earthquake shocks continue to be
felt at frequent intervals, and the
people are terrified. The heavy smoke
and other indications of an active vol
cano to the west of Tehuantepec is no
longer visible.
Captain Itoyco't Dead.
London, June 21. Captain Boycott is
dead. He was abo'ut 55 years of age
and became famous through being the
first man subjected to the "boycott" in
Ireland. He was a land agent in 1SS1
in Connemara section, county Mayo,
where he collected rents. The captain
made a speech in which he urged the
people of Ireland to abstain from agra
rian crimes and to adopt instead the
policy of sending harsh landlords, agents
and baliffs to the "inventory," the old
term for boycotting. Events so shaped
themsekes that Captain Boycott was
the first man the Irish experimented on
in this connection.
Shot Another and Himself.
Waltiiam, Mass., June 21. Malone
I. Wilson, of this city, shot and danger
ously wounded Maggie Hines, a domest
ic employed in the boarding-houBe of
Mrs. Monlton, Wilson's mother, today.
Wilson then placed the revolver to his
head and discharged the weapon, killing
himself instantly. The motive for the
deed is not known.
Lees Thinks Figel J Guilty.
San Fkancisco, June 21. Chief of
Police Lees, has made the statement that
from the evidence so far brought out a1
the coroner's inquest, it is, in his opin
ion, fair to conclude that Theodore Figel
was immediately connected with the
death of Ieacc Hoffman.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The oldest national flag in the
world is that of Dennmrk, which has
been in use since the year 121'J.
Among- the earliest six!dmens of
alphabetical writing are the inscrip
tions given on the monument of King
Eslunuunezer, which rival in impor
tance the Moabitie inscription of King
Mesha.
The oldest Jewish alphabet is sup
posed by some scholars to have been an
adaptation of the Egyptian ideographs.
Its earliest use in a monument is sup
posed to be the Siloam inscription at
Jerusalem.
Astronomers calculate that the
surface of the earth contains 31,025,025
Miuurc miles, of which 23,814,121 are
water and 7,811,504 are land, the water
thus covering about seven-tenths oflhe
earth's surface.
Size for size, a thread of spider silk
is decidedly tougher than a bar of steel.
An ordinary thread will bear a weight

per cent, stronger than a steel thread of
the same thickness.

The 72 races inhabiting the world
communicate with each other in 3,004
different tongues, and confess to about
1,000 religions. The number of men

Deafneftl Cannot lio Cured
by local applications, na they cannot
reach the diseased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafnes9 is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling eound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for
ever; nine casB out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
