Tariff Matters.
There has been no change in the
situation at Washington affecting
sugar legislation, but it is reported
that an attempt will be made to
get the tariff bill through IN some
form before recess is taken. An
effort to enforce the gag rule limit
ing debate in the Senate has failed,
and if q vote is reached it will be
by compromise by which the Re-
publicans will let the Federal
election bill go over if the Demo-
Gratis will not obstruct the passage
of the tariff bill.
On the 18th Senator Edmunds
offered the following amendment
to the tariff bill, which was referred
to the committee on finance: THAT
whenever the President of the
United States shall be satisfied that
a sugar producing country whence
sugar is exported into the United
States has abolished it's duties or
taxes on the Importation of the
principal agricultural products of
the United States he may by pro-
clamation diminish or wholly remit
the duties imposed by law on sugar
or any grade of sugar produced in
and exported directly from any
such country into the United States
so long as such products of the
United States are admitted free of
duty or tax into such country, and
no longer"
Edmunds also gave notice of an
other amendment which he intend
ed to propose, authorizing the
President, whenever satisfied that
unjust determinations were made
by any foreign country against any
product of the United States, to
make a proclamation excluding
such products from that country.
New Island Steamer Service.
The steamer Farallon has been
chartered for five months by Inv
lngston, Clark & Co. for their direct
service to Hllo, and has started on
her second trip for the islands. j..
B. Livingston, of the firm operating
the new line, says that the result of
the first trip to Hilo was remark
ably satisfactory. "Our firm, "
says he is San Diego house en-
gagged in importing mahogany and
ceda. Of course our experiment
with the Farallon is being made
with a view to more extensive
operations which we have in view.
The Farallon is a small steamer,
with accommodations for only
eight passengers, she being princi-
pally built for freight. / have just
, returned from New York, and
while there inspected several
larger steamers with view to
making purchases. The result OF
the first trip of the Farallon was a
financial success, and this is owing
) to the fact that we run direct to
: Hilo and take freight on board
there before touching at Honolulu
The Spreckels Brothers line only
run to the latter port, all freight
from Hilo having to be conveyed

4 transferred again.

who belong to the trust refneries

can't say that we are in opposition
! TO J. d. Spreckels, as we take
1 freight at exactly the same tariff as
i he does. We, however, cut in pas
( senger rates, as we have to do so
q owing to our accommodations being
o not as good as Spreckels'.
Instead of Spreckels being al
outs with us, he said the other day
that he was glad we had put on 8
