, Saturday, June 20. ^
Washington, Juno 2«.—Tbo oonate
today failed to conclude its debate on
th* schedules of the tariff bill, though
several provision«,were disposed of.
A motion by Bacon to place agricul
tural implements on the free list was
rejected by a decisive vote of 2d to 45.
Davis offered an amendment placing
lumber on the free list and in the face
of a protest from Aldrich, a vote was
taken. The amendment was lost, 18
to 87.
A duty of 5 cents a square yard was
placed on tracing cloth. The duty on
borate material was increased from
1 ^ cents to 2 cents a pound. Other
schedules were fixed as follows:
‘ On woven fabrics composed of as*
beatos, 40 per cent ad valorem; on yel
low prussate of soda, 2 cents a pound,
and on chlorate of sods, 2 cents in
stead of 1$4 cente a pound. Sulphite
of ammonia was placed on the free list.
The wood pulp provision also re
ceived attention.
Today's amendments were in lieu of
all previous senate changes In the
schedule. They provide for ■ the free
importation of mechanically ground
wood pulp except from countries which
place obstacles in the way of the ex
portation of wood or pulp to the United
States. In such ea«ee, upon proclama
tion of the president, a duly of one-
twelfth of a cent s pound may be im-
Friday, Ju n e 2ft.
Washington, June 25.—This was an
other of the senate’s active working
days and by the time the session dosed
a t 7 o'clock tonight so many schedules
had been considered and disposed of
that Aldrich freely predieted that by
tomorrow night all would be out of the
way, leaving the senate free to begin
consideration of the corporation tax
and income tax amendments.
Begin
ning the session with an increase of 6
per cent over the house rate of 85 per
cent ad valorem on harness, the senate
marched steadily along throughout the
nine hours' of its sitting, indulging in
little speecbmaking and acting upon
many important provisions. Among
the changes made w ere:
An increase of duty on scrap iron
from 50 cents to $2.60 per ton, thus
placing it on the same level as pig
iron; an increase of one-fourth of a
cent per pound over the house rates on
wire nails -r an increase of from 4 to 6
cents per pound on monazite sand and
cfther articles used in making gas man
tles; and the substitution of specific
for sd valorem rates on files, rasps, etc.
Thursday* June 2 4 .
Washington, June 24.—A abort time
before adjournment at 7 o’clock to
night the senate returned to the con
sideration of the tariff schedules after
devoting the greater part of the day to
listening to prepared speeches.
Amendments were adopted increas
ing the duty on shoes from 16 to 20
per cent ad valorem and increasing the
duty on sole leather from 5 to 10 per
cent ad valorem, the lower figure rep
resenting the house rate in each case.
An amendment increasing the duty on
collodion was also adopted.
Beveridge discussed an amendment
proposed by him enlarging the size of
tobacco packages. He contended that
while the size of the packages had been
reduced during the Spanish-Ameriean
war to compel the purchaser to pay the
war tax, those sizes had not been re
stored and the prices had not been re
duced, notwithstanding the removal of
the tax.
W ednesday, Ju n a 23.
Washington, June 23.—In unexpect
edly short ordsr the senate today dis
posed of the lumber schedule and then
agreed upon the ratea of duty oh pine
apples.
Aldrich asked that the lumber sched
ule receive first attention. He had no
sooner taken his seat than McCumber,
who has been a persistent advocate of
free lumber, presented an amendment
reducing the finance committee’s rate
of $1.60 per thousand on sawed lumber
to the bouse rate of $1 per thousand.
This was recognised generally as a teat
proposition, sa sawed lumber has been
the bone of contention from the begin
ning. The North Dakota senator did
not find it worth while to enter into
any argument.'
l he result was another triumph for
the Aldrich rates, the vote standing 24
for and 44 against the reduced rates.
It had been expected that the coal
schedule would be debated at great
length« but it was passed after little
mote than an hours discussion. A
new schedule was presented by Aldrich
as chairman of the finance commitee,
reducing the house rate on bituminous
coal from 67 cents per ton to 60 cents
and eliminating the house reciprocity
clause.
Tuesday, Juns 2 2 .1
Washington, June 22.—Late today
the senate reached a vote on the hide
schedule and a iter several amendments
had been defeated the amendment of
the finance committee fixing a duty of
16 per cent on hides was agreed to by
a vote of 46 to 80. This is the rate of

Washington, June 24.—It is rumored
today that James Wilson, of Iowa, sec
retary of agriculture, will retire at the
end of this year. Whila no authorita

McLaurin undertook to have the pro
vision amended to as to make the duty
apply to hides weighing less than 26
pounds, but failed, hi« amendment be
ing voted down, 81 to 48. An amend
ment by Stone placing not only bides
but many other products on this free
list was also lost.
Aldrich, on behalf of the finance
committee, brought in the committee’s
new lumber schedule and also a number
of amendments relating to linoleum
end oilcloth. The committee proposed
a rate of $1.60 per 1,000 on sawed
umber, a 50-cent increase over the
bouse rates.
Z More than eix hours were devoted to
debate, which began with an argument
by McCumber for a duty on hides. He
was sustained by Gamble and Heyburn.
They took the position that the effort
to make hides free was solely in the
interest of the manufacturers. >

be disposed of before late tomorrow.
Warren, of Wyoming, and Carter, of
Montana, supported the provision and
in vigorous language attacked the atti
tude of the free hide advocates, while
Page, of Vermont, defended the action
of the bouse in placing hides on the
free list.
Washington, June 21. — Availing
themselves of the presence of a quo
rum., the bouse leaders today obtained
setion on several important matters.
Principal among these was the confer
ence report on the bill providing for
the taking of the 18th census.

Vienna, June 26.—Owing to the de
cisive intervention of the imperial gov
ernment, the Standard Oil company’s
plana for gaining control of too Gali
cian petroleum-industry have suffered
a final and crushing defeat The Aus
trians have withdrawn the contract
with the company, which would have
insured to tbo American eonoern a
dominating position in the Galician oil
fields, for which it bas been striving
many years.
The minister of finance has under
taken to build reservoirs and lea
them to oil men at rents much 1«
than those demanded by the Standard
Oil company. Moreover, home refiners
will escape the handicap of heavy re
bates on the price of the raw product
which the Standard was to have en
joyed under the contract now canceled.
The government expresses a hope
that competition will be sharpened
through abrogation of the contract, but
it is probable that lively fight will fol

affects the Standard's position in Ger

Winnipeg, Man., June 26. — The
famous case in which the czar of Rus

the recovery of a large amount of mon
