SUGAR AND WOOL.
Republican Protests Against the Pro-
posed Tariff Schedule.

WASHINGTON, April ia protest,
signed by sixteen Republican Represen-
tatives, has been presented to the COM
mittee on ways and means against the
sugar and wool schedules, as published.
These Representatives urge upon the
committee that reduction of rs per
cent. on sugar and the increase of the
duty on lowgrade or carpet woods from
21a to 3 9-10 cents a pound is as great a
change as should be made. The manu-
facturers of ingram carpets say the
change Of duty proposed in the schedule
will increase the price of their product
from so to 80 cents yard, and prac-
tically wipe out their business, silencing
1000 looms and enforcing idleness upon
80, 900 workmen.
The signers of the protest, it is under
stood, are from all sections of the coun-
try, and while nothing of the kind is
contained in the documents, an under
standing exists among them that in it's
present shape they will not vote for the
bill in committee of the whole of the
House. Another Republican member,
Coleman, of Louisiana, says, unless fur
ther advised by his constituents, he will
not vote for any reduction on sugar.
The Republican members of the ways
and means committee were in session
this afternoon considering the sugar and
wool schedules. A bounty proposition,
as applied to sugar, was presented def
nitely by the sugar manufacturers. They
will accept bounty in place of the pres
ent duty ifthey can be assured it will be
continued fifteen wears.

IN FAVOR OF THE SETTLERS.
A Decision In the Oregon Wagon Roas
Land Grant Case.

Ldn0 OTdnb OaSes
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Secretary
of the Interior has rendered decision
in the case of the Willamette Valley and
Cascade Mountain Wagon Road Com
pany of Oregon VS.. Joseph A. Morton.
On July s. 1880, Congress made grant
to that company, twelve miles in width
and extending across the State. Soon
thereafter the Commissioner of the
General Land Office sent each local
land Office notice that the lands within
the grant were withdrawn from settle
ment and entry The notice addressed
to the land Office of the La Grande dis
trict was never received; neither was
the fact of it's non-receipt known at the
General Land Office until June 10, 1888.
In the meantime large number of set
tiers, among them Morton, settled on the
land. On March 2, 1899, Congress
passed a Jaw directing that suit be
brought to forfeit this and certain other
grants. The wagon-road company held
the jurisdiction of the Interior Depart
ment ousted by the act; also that the
land was actually withdrawn from settle
ment and entry by the act of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office
signing and mailing the notice
of withdrawal. The Secretary holds
to the contrary, however, ON both
points, and directs that no patent be
issued to the company pending the suit
under the act of March I'd. This deci-
sion is in favor of Morton, and practi-
cally decides large number of similar
cases in the La Grande district.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEES FIND 1T
HARD TO AGREE.
Five Senators and Five Representatives
Appointed to Continue the Work OF
Hunting for Common Ground.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Senate
and House Republican committees on
the silver question held joint session OF
two hours this morning. Very radical
differences in the views of the Senators
and Representatives were disclosed, but
an earnest purpose was shown to har-
monize the differences, if possible. One
of the chief points upon which the com
mittees could not agree was the proposed
increase of the national bank circulation.
Such a proposition, it was said, could
not secure a majority in the House. 1t
was finally decided to commit the sub
ject to committee of five Senators and
five Representatives who will continue
the work of hunting for common ground
on which they can stand.
A Practical Agreement.
The two subcommittee, consisting OF
Senators Aldrich, Allison, Jones, Sher-
man and Teller, and Representatives
Bayne, Bartine, Conger, Mckinley and
McKenna, this afternoon practically
came to an agreement, although no
formal action was taken. The measure
which found acceptance deals with silver
only. The two principal provisions are
First, the Secretary of the Treasury
shall be directed to purchase monthly
4,500,000 ounces of silver; and second,
the notes issued in payment therefor
shall be redeemable in lawful money.

CHINESE CERTIFICATES.
Senator Evarts Offers Some Amendme ents
to the Pending Bill.


WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Evarts
today presented the amendments he
proposes to offer to the Chinese Enum-
Grafton bill. He proposes to make the
certificates sufficient" evidence of a
lawful right to remain in the United
States instead of "sole" evidence, and
to except all children of Chinese par
ents born in the United States from the
provisions of the bill. Another amend
ment strikes out the third section, which
provides for the arrest and deportation,
or imprisonment for five years, of China
men found after September l, 1890, with
out proper certificates. If the section is
not stricken out, ,Evarts will move to make
the term of imprisonment six months.
Section 7 requires that a Chinaman
leaving the United States shall surrender
his certificate for cancellation. To this
Evarts proposes an addition that any
Chinese person other than a laborer who
has or may hereafter lawfully enter the
United States, and who departed or
hereafter departs shall be entitled to re-
enter upon evidence satisfactory to the
Collector of Customs that he or she
heretofore had been in the United
States, and is not Chinese laborer, and
the Collector of Customs shall issue a
certificate to such person on his re-entry,
which shall have the same force as CEN
SuS certificate

TARIFF TINKERS.
Rumored Changes in the Sugar Schedule
at the Last Moment.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-It was under
stood yesterday that the tariff bill was
to be reported to the House at noon to-
day, but it appears that matters of i'm
portance remain to be settled, and the
report is thereby delayed. The sugar
men are here in force and were heard
this morning by the Republican mem
bers in secret session. The air is filled
with rumors of changes in the sugar
schedule. One of these stories is that
the Republicans have at last decided to
place sugar on the free list and provide
a bounty to sustain the industry in this
country. The subject Of carpet woods
was open to further adjustment. Chair
man Mckinley says the bill will be re-
ported tomorrow.

New YORK, April ia meeting OF
the Chamber of Commerce was held to-
day to receive a report from the commit
tee on finance and currency on silver
legislation by Congress. The report was
adopted as follows: "The committee
find it impracticable to unite in any
special recommendation. They can only
agree in deprecating any measure by
which this country shall accumulate in
it's treasury so large an amount of silver
in any form as shall disturb our financial
relations with other people; but that
any law enacted upon the subject
should have respect to our commerce
with the world at large
In the discussion which followed much
praise was accorded Secretary Window
for his plan OF measuring the value OF
silver from a gold standard. Further
discussion was postponed until after, the
decision of the Republican caucus at
Washington.

Commander McCalIa Not Free From
His Enhancement Yet.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Judge
Acknowledgement of the navy today sub

Tracy in the McCalla case, recommend
ing that Captain McCalla, of the cor

dered that the court-martial be presided
