THE MILLS BILL
ADOPTED BIZ THE WAYS AND MEANS
YESTERDAY
With few Chsngss Msds Which ars Of NatOOal
Bsrsft-fhs Report By Mckinley,
Strictly Partisan BfOr 10
Catch Votes.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Milk
Tariff bill was adopted to-day. At meet
ing Of the Committee on Ways aud Means
this morning, the committee formally
passed upon the Mills bill, with three
amendments, which were offered and
adopted by the usual party vote.
The first amendment related to the sugar
schedule, and is very slight. II is in
tended TO wipe out the difference between
the thirteenth and sixteenth standard oI
low tests, aud make the reduction effected
by the bill more nearly 90 per cent. II
also strikes out the proViso That no draw,
back Of duty shall be allowed or paid on
any sugar exported from the United
States"
The next amendment inserts after the
wool aud wOoIen schedule the following:
Provided, that from and after the pas
cage Of this act, and until the first day OF
October, 1888, the Secretary of the Treas
ury be, and he is hereby authorized and
directed TO classify as woo'en cloth all i'm
ports of worsted cloth, whether known
under the name of worsted cloth, or under
the names of 'worsteds' or 'diagonsls,' or
or otherwise.
The third and last amendment, is n new
section, TO he inserted Immediately before
section 35, and applies to the administra-
tive features of the internal revenue por-
ton of the bill, as follows: "Nathing in
this act shall in any way change or impair
the force or effect of any treaty between
the United States and any other gov
ernment, or any laws passed in pur-
suance Of or for the execution of any
such treaty 80 long as such treaty
shall remain in force in respect of the sub
jects embraced in this act; but whenever
any such treaty, 80 far as the same respects
such subjects, shall expire or bo otherwise
terminated, the provisions of this act shall
be in force in all respects in the same man
ner and to the same extent rs if no such
treaty had existed at the time of the pass
age hereof"
The minority report is bitterly partisan
and srraigus the Democratic party for Gins
that it is not the parent OF.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLES.

Germany Is Rebuked--Ths Correspondence &C
on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The official cor
respondence between the United States and
Germany, growing out of tie recent trou-
bles in the Samoan Islands, will probably
be sent to Congress to-day.
1t shows that this government has
scrupulously refrained from increasing its
prestige and influence in the Islands, by
availiug ITSELF of the unmistakable friend
ship which the natives entertained for this
country.
On the contrary the United States have
used their good offices TO preserve the
autonomy of the Islands without aTy fur
ther consideration than that Of pro-
lection TO American interests.
Further than this we have not
gone. On one occasion, when Mr.. Greene
baum, the American Consul at Apia, at
tempted 10 SET up protectOrate over the
island, his conduct was sterniy rebuked
and his dismissal speedily followed.
Mr.. Bayard'a letter to Minister PendIe-
ton concludes in these words: I'm the
opinion Of this Government, the course
taken by Germany in respect 10 Samoa
cannot be regarded as having been marked
by that Just consideration which the
ancient friendship between the United
States and Germany entities this
Government 10 expect, and that the pres
ent condition of affairs in the islands can
not, in view Of the circumstances under
which it was brought about and is still
maintained, be regarded by the United
States as satisfactory"
Permission is given to Minister Pcndle-
ton in this letter to communicate Mr.. Bay
ards views to Prince Bismarck.

GENERAL NOTES,

Pitcher Flanagan arrived last evening.
The boys have joke on Yak. Ask them
what il is.
The Tri-State League should favor the
Reservation plan.
1t looked like bnsiness on the base ball
park yesterday afternoon.
Spiedel throws from third TO first like q
shot. He is in good trim.
Billy OtteIsOn will Captain the team aud
Professor Van SAINT will b. his assistant.
Ottersou and Stephens are pretty sore
from their practices, but expect TO be lin
bered up by Thutsday.
Mansfield has no cause to kick. She will
be here during the National Eucampment
of the Sons Of Veterans.
1t Is said that Billy Ottersou slides
down the banister at his boarding house
because his legs are 30 sore.
Maybe Brodie can't cover lots Of ground
and pull down home runs Well; you
just ought to ought TO see him.
Charley Mitchell, who played first base
for Akron part of last season, held down
that bag yesterday for the picked nine.
Manager Buckenberger takes his men
walk of about five or six miles every
morning to Timber them up for afternoon
practice.
Sanders, the new Philadelpbia pitcher,
who played in Canton last season, is one
of the heaviest men In that team. He
weighs sbout 300 pounds ard not an ounce
Of it superhaous flesh.
Cleveland and Columbus played a game
at the latter city on Sunday, resulting in a
victory for Cleveland by scnre Of 8 to
Crowell ard Snyder for Cleveland, and
Bakely and GoodfelIow for Columbus were
the batteries.
Al! sorts Of bets are being made on the
Pittsburg games Thursday and Friday.
Most Of them are that Wheeling will win
at lea't one game Others are that Pitts
bnrg will beat Wheeling se scores in each
game and 80 on. The bets rabge from
cigars TO $50. Now, who will win?
A number Of the TIi-State League papers
are saying that the schedule will have to
be changed ut some points because dates
conflict. They copied the schedule from
papers that did not priut the official
schedule. Il they had copied from the
REGISTER they would have found no con-
ficting dates.
Sol. White, who is said TO Re the only
rival of Grant, the colored second basarnan
of the Buffalo Club, has been practicipg
for some time at Wheeling with George,
the New York pitcher. He writes that be

Keystone wrote asking him what size
shoes he wore. White wouldn't give il
away. He answered that he would attend
TO the shoes bimself. Rttsburg Dispatch.

Island Base Ball Park Thursday and Fri
day are looked forward 10 with great in.
tercst by the lovers of base ball In the
city, and immense crowds are sure t. turn
out TO the games. This will be the first
test of the strength of both clubs, which
adds doubly to the interest. Pittsburg's
batting order in the frat game on Thun-
day will be: Barklcy. m Carroll, C. !;
Coleman, T.; Maui, 1; DalrympIe, Il
Dunlap, 2; Kuehnc. 3; Smith, 9. Morris,

Not 10 INDECENT circum.tances.

WASHINGTON, April 2.--Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton is very indignant
over the published report that the family
of the late Chief Justice Waite is in great
financial distress. The Post this morning
publishes an interview with him on the
subject in whi,h lie says that while the re-
ports are absurd, he fears that they may
be believed by unthinking people. He
says that Judge WaiIe's soos are both
well-todo, and whatever heir fathers es-
tste may have been the family is not
likely to want for anything.
