SENATE COMMITTEES' STRIFE Republicans Are Conciliatory Sherman Finds a Way to Remove Irrita tion In Cuba Mitchell la Out. Washington, March 10. The republl- an mem ben or tne ways ana means ommlttee today nnlshed their work on the sugar schedule and took up the woolen .tchedule. On the latter they am to n definite decision, but the Kilnts in the sugar schedule which had bei n 'reserved until today were decided. The differential waa nxed at one-eighth of a cent per pound on sugar aJjove 16 duties standard. TMs waa thought to be a auTicient allowance to cover he difference between the cost of re fining In the Cnlted Btatea and other countries, where sugar la free. What amounts to a retaliatory duty against bounty-paying countries waa agreed on. It la In the form ot an additional duty to be levied on sugar Imported from those countries which pay bounties, equivalent to the amount of the boun ties!, that t, the amount of the bounty less any internal taxes levied on sugar In the country whence It cornea. This provision leaves It with the executive officers to fix the tariff on sugar from bounty-paying countries. The wool schedule promisee to be the most difficult, on account of the conflict in the Interests between the growers j and manufacturers. The wool growers association has asked for duties much larger than those In the McKlnley law. After the wool schedule, parts of the pottery schedule free list and some administrative features of the bill only remain to be settled. THE COMMITTEES. Washington March 10. The republi can caucus committee or tne senate held a brief session today and ad journed to allow the collection of in formation as to the places to be filled and to permit consultation with other republican senators. There is dissatis faction on the part of some senators, who today manifested a disposition to hold out for a more definite arrange ment with regard to the control of the committees. Thowe who represent this element contend that if the republican party la to be required to continue the retHnMibillty for legislation. It Is only fair that they be given control of the more Important committees, such as the committees on finanec and appro priations. As the committees now stand they are silver committees, six out of the eleven memebrs of each being either democrats or silver repub licans. The latter hold the balance of power In both committees. Republican leaders are disposed to be especially conciliatory In view of the work before them of getting the tariff bill through the senate. They feel con fident that the present assignments will not Interfere with them in any respect in this matter. Indeed, it Is Intimated that it Is a 'part of the understanding that they should nut. TO FIX CUBA'S TROCBLE. Washington, March 10. Mr. Sherman has announced to his associates that he Is In a fair way to make arrange ments with Spain that will remove the great cause of irritation In Cuba. He ha submitted to the Spanish govern ment, through Minister Taylor, a prop osltlon that American citiaens who) are suspected or convicted of complicity with the Insurgents shall be Immediate ly expelled from the Island without Imprisonment or prosecution, unless they shall voluntarily return and place themaWvea In Jeopardy. This would not apply, however, to persons engaged In active hostilities and who have been taken with arms.

Ex-Senator Dolph died a 100 a. m. today. The end came peacefully and ne passed away surrounded by bis sorrowing family. The funeral will be from the family residence on Friday at 1 o'clock. Beloved by . all who knew him, the announcement of Senator Dotph's death caused much sorrow amongst bis hun dreds of friends throughout this state. AstorUns. one and all, regretted the loss of this noble character, wnose vir tues In life were hardly appreciated, aave by those who stood by him upon the floor of the Unted States senate. Faults he had none, except such as v.ir manufactured by political ene mies. Quietly and unobtrusively he accomplished great things In the na tional capital for Oregon. For yeara past Senator Dolph has been a sufferer from that dread dis ease, diabetes, only preventing a fatal sickness by limiting himself to the most abstemious of diets so far as food containing either sugar or starch was concerned. The Insidious poison, how- evi r. steadily worked Its way Into his system until a short time ago, when symptoms of the approach ot the dis ease In an acute stage made their ap pearance. In the shape of sores on the feet. These were not particularly painful or obstinate, but became so ten days ago. when an ulcer appeared on the large toe of the left foot. On the 8th a consultation of physicians was held, all ' previously having been flone that was known to medical science to stay the spread of the festering sore, at which it was decided that the only possible chance for life was amputation of the limb. When the announcement was made to the sick man, as though he were weighing some Judicial ques. Hon, and with the same .dignified man ner which has charactrlzed his appear ance In court and public, Mr. Dolph asked the surgeons as to what per cent age, of Increase his chances of life would b given by the amputation of the limb. He was answered from 10 to 15 In 100; without the operation, none. "Very well, then," quietly replied Mr. Dolph, "we had better commence. REFEREE DECIDES. What Queensberry Rules Shall Govern the Big Fight. Carson City, New, March 10. Ref eree Slier today gave out his Interpre tation of the Marquis of Queensberry rules unde which Corbett and Fita simmons are to fight on March 17. He has decided that the men shall be al lowed to atrike In a clinch with one arm free and on breakaways. This is generally believed to be more to the advantage of Fltzsimmons style of flchtinir than . to Corbett's. Fltzsim mons has long declared that he did not desire to have anj hitting with one arm free and demanded that the breakaways should be clean and with no punhclng. This Is generally thought to be a ruse on the part of the Fltz simmons crowd. On the other hand Corbett's rfrl inds claim that hitting with one arm free will exactly suit him. STRIKE IN NEW YORK.
