Rapid Progress on the Tariff Bill Is Now Expected. Washington, D. C, June 16. The senate made a great stride forward by completing the consideration of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, except, the provision relating to Hawaii, which went over. The first paragraph of the sugar schedule has served to bring out all the speeches and the test votes, and vhcn this was passed, the other para graphs of the schedule were agreed to without any further opposition. As agreed to, the schedule places on sugar not above No. 10 Dutch standard one cent per pound, and ,03 of a cent for every degree above 75, and on sugars above No. 10 Dutch standard 1.05 cents per pound, but sugars testing below 87 degrees .10 of a cent per pound shall be deduced. The other provisions of schedule relate to maple sugar, maple syrup, candy, etc. Only one yea and nay vote was taken during the day on the part of the amendment of Lindsay, to make the rate 1 .8 cents per pound on sugar above No. 10 Dutch standard. The amendment was defeated, 32 to 35. The Pettlgrew amendment, relating to trusts, was then taken up and dis cussed at length. It developed a considerable divergency of yiews on both sides of the chamber, the two Alabama senators, Morgan and Pettrs, joining Iloar in his opposition. Alli son linally tested the sense of senate by moving to table the amendment, which motion prevailed, yeas 35; noes, 32. Two Democrats, Morgan Mo Enery, voting with the Republicans to table, and thus turning the scale against the amendment. Considera tion of the agricultural schedule was then resumed. AMENDMENTS. Senator Tillman has given notice of an amendment ho will offer to the tariff bill providing for a head tax of 8100 on all Immigrants to the United States. The amendment maices it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any person to enter tin United States for the purpose of engaging in trade or manuel labor without intending to become a citi zen. These provisions are modified by a proviso to the effect that they shall only remain in effect until silver shall be admitted to our mints for coinage at the ratio of 10 to 1 on the same conditions with gold. u. ue amendment or .Lindsay, to re duce the sugar differential was de feated in the senate by a vote of 32 to 35. The artl-trust amendment to the tarriffbill, offered by Senator Pet tlgrew, was taken up the senate shortly after 2'oclock. Pettus took a decided stand against the Pettlgrew amendment, and urged that the sen ate should not disturb the industries of the country by hasty and Inconsid erate action. NEW TREATY. The treaty for the annexation of the Hawaiian Island to the United States will be sent to the senate by President McKinley tomorrow unless the present plans are chauged. Men close to the administration and others etigaged in pushing through the tariff bill have been informed the treaty will be transmitted to the senate to morrow. It is stated there will bo no consideration of the Ilawalian reci procity provison of the tariff bill un til the treaty is received. NOT PROVIDED FOR. One point of Importance In which the Ilawailan treaty differs from the convention negotiated by Secretary Foslerin President Harrison's admin istration Is the omission of any pro vision for ex-Queen Llluokalanl and Princess Kaiulani. In the original treaty it was provided that the CQNGRESS1QNA United States should pay the ex-queen 3. the sum of $20,000 cash and the same amount of money as a pension each year during the remainder of her life, provided that she, in good faith, sub mitted to the government of the United States and tho local govern ment of the islands. Princess Kaiu lani being next in lino of royal blood, was to have received a cash payment of $150,000, but no pension under a similar proviso as in the case of the ex-queen. It Is understood any objection that might be expected to the annexation of the Islands based on the largo pro portion of coolies in the population has been forestalled by an article not only prohibiting further Immigration of such laborers to tho Ila walla Islands, but also prohibiting tho coming of any Chinese from the Islands to othc r parts of tho United Stales. THE HAWAIIAN TREATY. It was tho expectation that the Ha waiian annexation treaty would ic coive tho formal signatures, Tuesday, of tire negotiators, Secretary Sher man for tho United Stales, and cither Minister Hatch or Loring Thurston, as a special commissioner for tho Ha waiian government. The document itself had been prepared aud every thing was In readiness when It was again taken to the White House, for the president's final inspection and review. Finally at 4 o'clock the attempt to secure the signatuic of the treaty was abandoned. This may prevent the submission of the treaty to tiic senate tomorrow, as was the intention of the cabinet, but delay in any case will not bo material. At the cabinet meet ing, in the course of the discussion of the treaty, It wes decided that its pendency in tho senate would not necessarily cause any considerable obstruction to the progress of tho tar iff bill. The suggested course of procedure, when the Hawaiian annexation trmty 1b eent to tho senateis Miut It should bo made public, In order that the proposition to restore the house pro vision in the tariff bill may be accom plished with the understanding that the treaty of annexation may possi bly be in effect before a year's notice of abrogation could bo given. One reason given for making the treaty public would be that it could be dis cussed in connection with the Hawai ian provisions in the bill. It Is not believed there will be any attempt to secure Immediate action on the treaty, and possibly It might not be considered at this special scs slon, Some question has arisen as to whether the senate is competent to act upon a treaty which acquired ter ritory and if the house would not be called upon to concur, but the preced ents arc that the treaty-making power, the president and senate, can act and the only manner in which the house would bo considered would bo in an appropriation necessary to carry the treaty Into effect, A Bad Fall. Dr. J. N. Smith, re turned this afternoon from Oakvllle, Linn county, whither he was called last evening to attend his aged mother who suffered a painful fall Tuesday. Whlle.walklng about the orchard with a tin pail under tho left arm Mrs. Smith, fell to the ground thereby sus taining a fracture of one rib and badly bruising the left arm.

McMinnville, Or., June 10 (Special.) Organization of tho Union party In the soycral counties, of the state, proceeds slowly, constantly. A majority of the counties are now or ganized. Mr. Spaugh's plan of a union through tho party committees is meeting with some favor aud some opposition. Such au union proved a failure, In the Bryan campaign, In Or egon It was not satisfactory in the last legislature. It would be nothln g but fusion if attempted in a new form, even as carefully guatded as Mr. Spaugh proposes. What tho peo ple want Is the union of reform -forces at tho primaries and nowhere eKo. Chairman Cooper's letter, to Union committee men and workers, is as follows, and should be given a wide circulation: THE CIRCULAR LETTER. The growth of sentiment in favor of the union of forces on the plan out lined at Albany, Is much greater than at Urst. Tho people are coming to the conclusion that the delegates who met there were In dead earnest, and letters being received say that If wo maintain tills Idea by acting In good faith for the reforms wanted, that there will be a general uprising of the people before the campaign la over. Tliecommittetnen and all speakers and workers while using duo discre tion, should make open-handed hon esty the rule of action. Lot tho Union party bo what It professes to be. You are not ordinary aggressive politicians but peace-makers. Ilemember that we must have about every man who voted for Bryan and Watson and some thousands In addition If wo carry tho state. Many Republicans, patrlotlo men whose patience are worn, will vote witli us if we act with clean hands. Be patient and Arm and you will succeed. Tho opportunity is grand, make the most of It. The conference In Its declaration of principles "invito all of the reform forces In the state to unite with us" awl tite resolution requires us to com bine the present friendly organization Into a harmonious Union party To carry out this instruction, ovrsrv Pod- unsuaiiu uouionratic committeeman, state, county ana picoinct, who is w 11 be of right, a member of tho Union party committees. Mass meetings and committeemen will do well to see that this is done. Many of the best Union workers do not aim to destroy or absorb either tho Democratic or Populist party, but to uso tnese great me endly organlza tions as auxllarics to get ttio people togetuer against a common enemy. The most positive, honest and effec tive way to form a union of forces is to ask the people who are to be united to make tho union. Union is Inevitable, It Is now the greatest question of political policy before the people, their mouths are full of It. No man,of anv consequence, dares to write or speak against It. Chairman Butler, of tho Populist Na tional committee, May 31, writes: "It Is of tho greatest importance that all of those who oppose the rule of tho gold syndicate and their allied trusts and monopolies should be concen trated in the Interests ofthepeoplo against the common enemy, In the next campaign." Chairman Jones, of the Democratic National committee, May 20, writes: "I sincerely hope that our friends may bo able to stand together, In Oregon, and hope you will omit no effort to accomplish tho good result." Chairman Towne, of tho National Silver Republican committee, May 27, wrues: "x our can uas tno ngni ring, you shall havo my hearty co-opera- tion, The people want a union of forces and the man or tho party that stands nds the in too way will bo destroyed, for will of the people Is law. Very truly yours, J. C, Cooper, Chairman Union State Committee. Trick Bicycle Riders.

An error of $25 has been discovered In tho footing of the bill for court houso repairs as printed In The Jotjr- ' NAL. I It was an error of $25 against the j county, tho contractors having been allowed $25 too much. I Judge Terrell got wind of , this late Tuesday and took the I bill out or tho lllcs or tho clerks, office. g-Wlicn It was returned following changes had been tiKitlii with pen and Ink: First. Tlieccond item of $9.80 had boon changed to $29.80, Increasing tho bill $20. Tho twelfth Item of C5 cents for re pairing a wash basin had been changed to $5.05. an Increase or $5. Bv changing these two Items, which changes appear on the original bill as It was shown to a Journal reporter this afternoon, tho footing is now cor rect, and the Items foot up $25 more than they did in tho bill as first filed. Instead of asking tho contractors to refund tho money, the bill has been changed to make It correspond with tho total amount allowed of $2242.05. Without the added Items tho bill was only $2217.05. Tho bill Is now on fllo In the clerk's olllce, and was changed while It was out of tho clerk's office, and presumably whllo It was In tho hands of Judge Terrell. It was found changed soon after It had been returned. Sotno one has tampered with this bill and It Is clearly a case for tho grand jury to investigate. The district attorney should at once causo this matter to bo Investigated, and probe It to the bottom. If Judge Terrell has had this bill changed or tampered with It ho Is corrupt or crazy and It is tlmo tho people found out which. Circuit Court.
