Washington, Juno 21. fn the sen ate the flag schedule of the tarifT bill was taken up, the' pending question being on Mr. Allison's motion to amend the paragraph relating to thread, twine, ets., made of (lax, hemp or ramie, by substituting for the sen ate rate 14 cents a pound and 7-8 of a cent additional for each lea in excess of live. Vest and Jones, of Arkansas, contested the proposed changes, claim ing the rates were excessive, while Al lison contended they were essential as a compensatory duty for increased rates on raw material already pro vided. Allison's amendment was agreed to 20 to 19, McEnery voting with the Re publicans. Allison moved to increase the rates in the paragraph relating to yarns, making the rate 7 cents instead of 0 cents a pound on single yarns in gray, not liner than eight lea or the number as proposed in the original finance committee amendment and 50 per cent ad valorem Instead of 40 per cent, on single yarns Uner that eight and not finer than eighty lea. Gray called for an explanation of the Increase. He said it would not do for Republicans to sit still without saying a word, simply bacausc they had the necessary majority. Sewall said the Increase had been decided upon to compensate for the increase in rate on raw material de manded by 'Western people." "Very well," said Gray, "that's more light than we have heretofore had. Goon." "That's enough," In terjected two or three Republican senator. Allison complained that if the Del aware senator had hot received nec essary Information It was because he had not listened to what was said. The colloquy continued bringing out the information that the manufac ture of flax yarns had not been profit able In recent years. Allison said It was the purpose of the committee to so adjust rates as not to throw any laborers out of em ployment. Gray made an argument for free raw material, the necessity for which he said was illustrated by the action of the finance committee In the case of linen thread. The amendments were agreed to. Committee amend ments to llax gill netting were agreed to, Vest took exception to the increase on floor mattings. lie moved to strike out the entire section. Petti grew said the committee ameudments were evidently aimed at Japanese matting which could not be produced here. Mantie said the exportation of grain and other products to Japan from this country was almost wholly dependent upon the carrying vessels being able to secure return cargoes. These car goes were largely composed of Japan ese mattings. lie had read a recently published letter from the president of the Great Northern railroad In sup port of his proposition. On roll call the' senate accepted Vast's amend ment striking out the paragraph In re gard to floor matting?, the vote stand ing, 25 to 22. Carter, Hansbrough, Mantle, Pettlgrcw and Teller voted with the Democrats. The result created a slight stir In the chamber, as It, was the first sub stantial triumph of the opposition to to the tariff bill. Th&xjflect Is to re store floor matting made from straw and other vegetable substances to the free list. This Includes the. Japanese, Chinese and Indian matting.

Rules of content published In large advertisement about the first and middle of each month. Ala Paragraphs 331, 332 and 333 were ac cepted without dlvllfon. When para graph 331, relating to oil cloth for floors was rcacheiiruie opposition was renewed and, aftcr( the amendment had been perfected by the Republi cans, Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, moved to strike the paragraph out and Insert tile provision of the Wilson law. The amendment was lost, 22 to 67. The amendments to paragraphs 335 (shirt collars and cuffs) were received without opposition, ?but Mr. Whlto moved to substitute the present law for paragraph 33G In relation to luco window curtains, tidies, etc. The motion was lost. With this para graph the senate passid the half way point in the bill. ' The amendments 0 337, window curtains; 333, embroideries; 339, woven fabrics of single juteg yarns and 310, pile fabrics wcro agrfced to; 311 jute grain bags and burlaps and 342, bag ging for cottcn, gunny cloth, etc., were considered together and aroused some discussion. J Mr. White contended that the pro posed duty on juto bags would cost the farmers of the Paclti3 coast $300, 000 per annum. He asserted that the duty on wheat was 11 delusion and that by putting the bugs on the free list an opportunity wan ailorded to do the farmer a substantial service. Mr. Pei kins said the Pacific coast farmers were at the mercy ol the bag makers of Calcutca and Bombay, ex cept for the bags made by the con victs in the state penitentiary of Cali fornia. A motion to strike out the two para graphs in regard to burlaps and cloth for cotton bagging, was carried, 31 to 23. The effects of the yote is to leave these articles on the fcc list. The Silver Republicans und (Populists pre sent all voted witli the Democrats, but no straight Republican did so. Going back, Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, moved to strike out paragraph 339, plain woven fabrics of single juto yarns. Tills motion was also pre vailed, 29 to 23. 1 Mr. Allison, In behalf of the com mittee, proposed modulation of para graph 311, in regard to the woven fabrics, reducing the ratJe on articles containing hol.wnen 00 atd 120 threadR from 3 to 23-4 cents per yard, on those between 120 to 180, from from 7 to 9 cents, and on those of more than 180 threads from 10 to 0 cents. The com mittee amendments were aloptcd The next paragraph, 345, was agreed to without division. This concluded the hemp schedule and brought the senate face to face with tho wool schedules. There was no evident In disposition on all sides to take up the wool question, and after the passage, at the instance of Mr. Mantle, of a bill proving for tne erection of a pub lic building ut Butte, Mont., to cost 8300,000, tho senate went into execu tive session and at 4:10, p. m. ad journed. 1 BW TREATY.

Pragcr as Incorporators. Also the Pioneer Morrison Street Fuel company. Meetings in Yew Park. The meetings began at the tent in Yew Park on Friday evening last with a fair attendance. The subject of the Introductory dis course was "Tho Importance of Proph ecy." based upon the words of 2 Pet., 1:10-21, from which It was demonstra ted that prophecy Is of dlylne origin, Inspired by tho Holy Spirit, but given to man through human instrumental ity, and that the Bible is tho only book of unequivocal prophecy ever written, and is fully capable of inter preting Itself, and that no man Is authorized to place his own private Instruction upon any of Its utterance. God's word Is a Living Word, which is working out his will as effectually as the laws of naturo are working out their results in tho natural world. This world Is a dark placo on ac count of the presenco of sin; and prophecy isallghttodlrect man safely through to that time when sin shall bo no more. Chrslt's mission to earth Is to save that which was lost, and ne cessitates a second advent to consum mate tho plan of redemption. By IiIb advent In tho flesh tho moral regen eration of sinners Is assured; und it re quires a second, personal coming to redeemlbellovcrs from tho cruel do minion of death, and clothe them with lmmortalllty; all of which, according to the testimony of prophecy, Is to bo accomplished at his second coming. Hence, If ho never comes, as some teach, tho complete redemption from the effects of sin will never be con summated. Wine Men Know, It Is roily to build upon a poor foun dation, either In architecture or In health.

Sixty years ago Joseph Gillott was a working Jeweler In Birmington, Eng land. One day ho accldently split one of his fine steel tools, nnd being sud dently called on to sign 11 receipt and not finding a pea handy, he used tho 'split tool as a substitute. This led to making pens of metal. A man named James Murphy aged about 05 years was found dead in bed in the tihepardslodglnghou.se in Baker J City, Tuesday evening.
