T.IKtKK DEBATE IX THE' SEJSATK.
The debate on the tariff bill began
in the senate last Tuesday with
crowded ga'leries and a large at
tendance of senator and tariff
leaders of the house. At 2 p. m.
Senator Aldrich, of Khode Island, in
charge of the bill, had the measure
laitl la-fore the seuate, ami took the
floor for the opeulug sach. At
that time, every available seat in Hie
galleries was occupied. The republi
can side of the floor showed an al
most solid representation, there be
ing only three or four vacant seats.
I he democrats also presented fullS
ranks, and the scattered seats of the
Kpulits were occupied with hut one
exception,
Mr. Dingley, chairman of the
ways and mean committee and
and author of the h use bill.
took a seat beside Senator Aldrich
and listened attentively. Other re
publican members of the ways and
means committee, ai.d Representa
tive Simpson, 01 the populist contin
gent, occupied the back lounges.
Sieaker Reed was not present.
Mr. Aldrich spoke for almost an
hour and a quarter, adopting an easy
conversational style. Hi speech
was the official utterance of the fi
nance committee and, in a sense, of
tbe republican aide of the chamber.
Without making Inivdiou distinc
tions between the two bills, Mr.'
Aldrich clearly stated, as the belief
of the finance committee, that the
house bill would nut yield revenue
adequate for tbe need of the govern
ment. Vest, democratic member of the
finance committee, followed with a
statement in opposition to the bill.
He spoke of the futility of piling up
taxes on an over-burdened eople,
hen there was a balance of .j9,.
000,000 iu the treasury. He criti
cized the schedule in detail, and
said some of them were designed to
be prohibitive. He severely attacked
the increase in the lead duty, de-

issue between the committee
and the oponeiiU of the bill.

the party lines. The dehtite was
participated in by Seuators Vest.
Jones of Arkansas, Aldrich, Perkins, I

Senator White, a democratic member

Vest' amendment, urging that the

Weather. Lower temperature
prevailed durlogthe paat week thau
during the preceding. Rain fell
Sunday over tbe southern portion,
which amounted to less than .10 of
an Inch. The mean temperature for
the week was (12, which 1 4 cooler
than the preceding week. The day
temperatures averaged 12", and the
night 82: the highest during Ihe
week was 82 on Wednesday, and
the lowest was 44 on Friday. The
weather was generally clear, with
northerly winds, up to Sunday, when
it became cloudy and the winds
became variable.
Crops. Tbe weather was favor
able lo the growth of all vegetation,
more rain would have been beneficial.
Winter wheat la in boot; It Is from
24 to 36 locbea high, has a good color
amr ia promising. Spring wheat is
doing well; It would be Improved by
a good rain and cool weather.
Karly-sown barley has headed. Oat
look well; those sown late would be
improved by rain. The correspon
dents ln liouguu, Josephine and
Jackson counties report that if more
rain does not soon fall, the spring
sown grain will not be over a half
crop. Grain sown In these three
counties Is principally for home use.
The grain ln the coast section and in
the Willamette Valley wa never
more promising, though rain would
be of benefit. The first cutting of
alfalfa ha commenced in the southern
counties. Clover Is generally In
bloom and will be ready to cut by
June 10th, Uardeo stuff la making
excellent growth. Hops are not uni
formly in good condition; In some
yards they are tine, in other the
growth I Irregular, A few lice have
already appeared. Potato planting
Is about done; those planted early
have tos from to 10 inches in
height. Sheep shearing is in pro
grbos in all sections, and an excellent
clip ha ' been secured. Flax, for
fibre, Is making good growth and has
an excellent color. Cut worm are
reported to be doing damage In the
onion fields of Washington County.
Fruit. The great fruit crop, in
dfcated by the profusion of blossom,
will not thi year be realized. The
fruit is dropping from the trees. The
petite prune la almost gone. The
Italian aod Silver prunes now prom
ise to be about a one-balf crop, other
varieties a very tatr crop. Bart let I
(tear and apples will make a fair
crop, unless more drop) aod cherries
will be poor crop. Some sections
report poor fruit prospects, as out.
lined above, while other sections re
port good fruit prospects. The fruit
will be less in the northern half of
the Willamette Valley than else
where. The cause of tbe change In
the fruit prospects is ascribed by some
as being due to the November freeze
before the sap had retreated; others
ascribe It to the frosts the latter part
of April; while others are of the
opinion that It Is due top be warm
period the middle of April, during
blooming. Be the causa what it may,
the fruit crop, from a comparative
point of view, will be short 1. .,
much more than last year, but lem
tbsnln 1895. Strrberries are rioe
and are a very tiUf crop. Quinces
nave dropped their bloom and the
fruit is well set. Early conditio! s
for crops of all kinds were very prorr -Ising,
but these promises w III not be
realised; however, a very fair hnr.
vest will be had. As compared w iih
the average harvests east or the It's k v
&mntaibs, it will be a large hrve';

Ith favorable weather conditions,
Fat-tern Oregon will have a most
prosperous year, the grain and fruit
never promised more. The range
food Is good, bay crop heavy, stock
fat, wool extra floe and heavy, large
percentage of lambs saved and plenty
of water for Irrigation and for min
ing. The current weather conditions are
favorable for warm weather Ihe lat
ter part of tbe week over the entire
Pacific Northwest, probably followed
by rain about Sunday next.
Tbe Columbia river will fall slight
