BERLIN June /. Emperor Frederick had
good night,
He left for Potsdam at 10 o'clock this
morning on the steam yacht Alexander
lie was accompanied by the Imperial fam
lily. The weather was showeIy and his
majesty retired to the cabin as soon as he
got on board and remained there. The
yacht was covered with flowers. EnthuSi-
astic crowds were at tho dock.
A greet crowd greeted the yacht on her
arrYal at Shandsu. There was much
cheering and the band played the national
hymn. The Emperor appeared at cabin
window and bowed to the people, and the
Empress waved her handkerchief from the
deck.
The yacht reached Potsdam at l2;4O
o'clock. His majesty was no worse for the
trip.
DR.. Mackenzie yeSterday introduced to
the Emperor boy years of ago upon

boys mother and loaded the boy with
sweetmeats, and asked him TO visit the
palace again. The mother says that being
accustomed to her sons talking she under,
stood perfectly well every word uttered by
the Emperor.
When the Emperor reached Potsdam he
seemed TO have benefited by the trip. He
ate good luncheon, aud afterward had
several hours unbroken sleep. After he
awoke he spent two hours in the park.

A WASTE OF WORDS.
The Mills Bill Debated All Day and No
Material Progress Made.

WASHINGTON, June l.--rhis afternoon
Mr.. Mills moved that the House 60 into
committee of the whole on the tariff bill,
debate on the first paragraph to be limited
to twenty minutes. By arrangements with
Mr.. Mckinley the time for the debate was
extended to forty minutes, and the motion
prevailed Messrs. Holman, Weaver and
Mccormick, of Pennsylvania, spoke upon
the timber question.
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey did not
want to be singular by speaking to tn
pending amendment Ito make tho free list
go into effect next january, but he would
do as other speakers had done, and talk
about something
When the time had expired, the question
was put on Mr.. Adams amendment to sub
stitute January 2, 1889, for July l. 1855, as
the date of the application OF tho free list,
and it was defeated by vote OF 81 yeas to
11S nays.
Mr.. Buchanan, of New Jersey, then Of
fered an amendment to exclude foreign
prison-made goods from entry. This was
ruled out on point OF order.
Mr.. Buchanan appealed, but the ruling
= was sustained by party vote. Thereupon
Mr.. Buchanan midofied the wording but
not the substance of his amendment, SO that
it was unobjectionable in form, but it was
defeated by strict party vote.
OUTPUT OF TRUSTS
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered an
amendment to add to the first paragraph a
prohibition against the importation of
goods, the manufacture or sale of which is
controlled by trusts. The amendment was
rejected by a vote Of 20 to f05.
Mr.. Baker. of New York, presented an
amendment to exclude Canadian goods from
the free list. whenever the government of
the country imposes on American goods Of
a similar nature. The amendment was re-
jected.
This concluded the consideration Of the
first paragraph-five lines-of the bill, and
the clerk read: Timber hewed and sawed
and timber used for spars aud for building
wharves. This was the first article on the
free lisr.
Mr.. Struble, of Iowa, moved to strike out
the paragraph. The first Republican
speaker on this motion had nothing to say
about 1t, but discussed, instead, free wool,
and occupied the remainder of the after
noon session.
Finally Mr.. Mills suggested that as the
two lines which had beon under considera-
tion all day concerned an item that had put
but $19,SS0 in the revenue last year, the
paragraph be passed over. This request
being refused, the committee rose, and
pending decision upon Mr.. Mills motion to
limit to ten minutes further debate on the
paragraph, the House took recess until s
o'clock, the evening session to be for con-
sideration of private pension bills.

ings. Now there seems to be feeling
among the committee, or at least
among the members now here, that Cen
Collins should be the permanent chairman
and that some other Democrat of eminence
should be the temporary chairman. Secre-
tary Prince of Massachusetts, is in favor of
giving the Californians the temporary
chalrtnanShip. The committee invariably
selects the temporary chairman, and it has
also been the custom for the National Com
mittee to select both the temporary and per-
manent chairman.
AN ALLEGED SLATE,
1t is generally limited tonight that the
committee has practically agreed upon
Senator German, of Maryland, for tempo
rary chairman, and Gen. Collins for perna-
nent chairman. The Western and Southern
men are not taking kindly to this alleged
programme, on the ground that other
sections than the Eastern seaboard should
receive some recognition. In addition to
the talk in favor Of Lieut.. Gov. White, of
California, there are rumors that Henry
Watterson will be urged for permanent
chairman, and his friends say that be will
be supported by the solid South i'll the COM
mittee on permanent organization. In
view of the competition for the honor of
welding the gavel it is just possible that
the arrangements of the committee may be
upset.
