Increased Trade.
WASHINGTON, July lS.-In his report to
the State Department, Consul Griffin,
writing from Auckland, and speaking OF
the trade between New Zealand and the
| United States, says: ''There is proba-
bly, now better chance for direct trade
between the two countries than ever be-
fore. do not doubt that the new lines
of sailing vessels established at Boston
and New York will be successful, and
there is strong reason To believe that
communication between Australian col.
onies and the Pacific coast of the United
States will be much more frequent in
the near future than at present. Inas-
much as ths outgoing and incoming
boats of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany for many months past have had
considerably more freight and passen-
gers than they should be expected to
carry with safety, the company will very
soon be obliged not only to supply a
greater number of boats for the line, but
| much faster ones"
The Internal Revenue Bill.
The vote on the tariff bill is as yet un-
certain. Since the debate began and
the prospect for a long session devel-
oped, some differences of opinion have
bsen manifested among the Republican
Senators as to the propriety OF passing
the bill with amendments at the present
session. Yesterday n tice was served
By Messrs. Hale and Ingalls,, in the Sem
ate, upon Mr.. Morrill,, who has charge of
the revenue bill. that they would oppose
its consideration with the naval appro-
priation bill. This lack Of harmony
led to calling caucus this morning. at
which il was substantially agreed that
tho internal revenue bill should have
precedence Of all other business for the
present at least. In the executive ses-
sion Senators Garland. Voorhees, and
others on the Democratic side. intimat.

troduced, be should Mt the proper time
offer an amendment.
