TARIFF HEARINGS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sat the tariff
hearing of the ways and means COM
mittee today, R. W, Leslie Of Phila-
delphia appeared on behalf of the ce-
ment manufacturers OF the United
States. He made an appeal for the re-
tention OF the present duty of cents
per hundred pounds, on the ground it
had operated to the benefit of the con-
sumner by reducing the price and to the
advantage OF the government in increas-
ing the revenues.
Joseph Newman of California ap.
pesred to argue in favor of the imposi-
tion of duty on raw silk. The burden
of his remarks indicated that he be-
lieved the United States capable of pro-
ducing the silk worm to extent sufi-
cient to supply all the raw silk needed
in this country. e,He said the southern
belt, extending from the Carolinas
through to the Pacific coast. could grow
the silk worm. He wanted cocoons on
the free list, Is per cent duty ON raw
silk and 80 per cent on manufactured

THE AGE OF THE OLIVE.
Some Trees Known to be Over 1000
Years Old.

Some Trees Known to be Over 1000
Years Old.
The Venturean Coneul Hathaway
states that lately an olive tree was care
lessly destroyed In the vicinity Of Nige,
France, which had positive record OF
five centuries and measured 36 feef in
circumference when it fell. Professor
Alio informs us that the prbduc-
tion of some of the largest
olive trees OF Sicily somfimes
reaches 264 gallons; the trunk II one
of these trees measured 26 feet and 4
inches in circumference at feet 8
inches from the ground. Ah olive
tree near Marseilles, France, fs men
toned by Ceyreste, which if thought
to be 900 or 1000 years OF and 30
gigantic that it can hsrbor fin its in
terror 20 persons. 500 olivetrees were
planted at the San Fernan}o mission
about the year 1900. Thfe are now
left 45O. In 1881 the trees Nbre severely
pruned, the branches being entirely
Topped off and made ihb firewood;
some of the trunks ale two feet
in diameter. They commenced
bearing again the seco1h year after
being pruned, and the trop has grad
ually increased 40 that il now amounts
to upwards of 1S tons ANNUALLY. An
olive tree at the Mission San Jose, in
this state, measures around the trunk
5816 inches about twb feet above the
ground. 1t is about 40 feel high.
It bears annually crops Si large
fruit. Mr.. Davis, who had charge OF the
San Diego mission orchard, fhich Is
more than 100 years old, stated that he
gathered 100 gallons of olives, two years
in succession, from single trep in that
orchard, A 5-year-old Nevodillo blanco
olive tree in the orchard Of Alfred
Wright, Pomona, measures nchee IN
diameter, 2 feet above ground and has
attained the height OF more than 10 feet
without irrigation.
The following extract is from an ad-
dress by Hon. Charles Dondero, italian
consul at San Francisco: There are no
two countries in the world 30 similar In
Typographical conformation, position,
climate and agricultural products
as Italy and California. The
olive is Justly considered the Provi-
dence of Italy. 1t was undoubted cul-
tivated there before Bassencra's pre-
diction on the fate Of Troy-before
Homer immortalized the wrath OF
Aceilles. According to history, the
great olive trees yet seen around
Tivoli, whose gigantic forms rival the
majestic asquoias Of the sierras,, were
already old when Romulus traced with
a plow the walls of Rome. Siuce then
mighty rulers. powerful empires, bright
and barbarous civilization have arisen
and disappeared; but the olive giants,
untouched By all vandalie invaders,
respected by the hurricanes Of 80
centuries, are there, covering nearly
an acre OF ground each, vigorous and
productive as in the days of Christ. The
average duration OF this tree, however,
is considered $50 years-long enough for
us all. Its production increases until
the age of 40 or 80 years. 1t remains
then about the same from year to year,
if properly managed, with perceptible
improvement in the OIL"

OKLAHOMA, 1. T., Sept. 5.-Word was
received here OF a desperate battle be-
tween Deputy United States Marshal
o. s. Harris and posse aud two desper-
ADDE'S called "Three- Fingered Jack"
and Tecumseh, negro, near Keokuk
Falls, on the border Of Oklahoma. When
they were informed that "Three- Fingered
Jack" and Tecumseh would be at q
dance in that neighborhood that night
with quantity of whisky, Harris and
his posse laid in wait for them and sur
rounded them in the road. The desper-
ADDE'S drew revolvers in each hand and
rode through the guard. keeping up a
constant fire. When the posse opened
fire on them Tecumseh's horse was
killed and Jacks was wounded, but
both escaped. Harris had five men in
his party and they were all on foot and
were unable to follow the despsradoes.
Later news has reached here that FS.
cumseh was shot through the body and
cannot possibly recover. "Three-Fing.

reward is offered for him in Kansas,

1t Has an Eye single to the Repeal OF
the sherman Law.
WAsHINaToN. Sept. 5.-The financial
policy Of the administration was clearly
defined today. 1t is that all secondary
financial legislation will be postponed
till the senate acts on the repeal bill.
The house committee on banking and
currency, to which falls the duty OF orig
mating legislation to follow repeal, met
this morning, but at once adjourned for
q week. 1t is learned that the president
and Secretary Carlisle have expressed
wish that all remedial legislation be post
poned till the repeal bill has actually
passed the senate. There is no doubt
that the committee intends to follow his
suggestion. The object is to put spurs
on the senate by concentrating public
attention on 1t. The house will keep the
road clear for the immediate considers
tion of the repeal bill az soon as 1t comes
back from the senate.
During the meeting of the senate COM
mittee on finance this morning there
was an informal discussion of the policy
to be pursued with reference to the
measures now before the senate which
have been reported by this committee.
Senator Voorhees, announced his determ.
ination to push the repeal bill as rapidly
as possible, and indicated that this
would be done, at least for the present,
without reference to other bills which
the committee had under consideration.
This is taken to mean that whatever
truth there may be in the rumor that
the administration has other financial
plans brewing, or that Voorhees, himself
is anxious to secure other legislation,
all these schemes will at least temper.
arily be held aloof and the repeal bill be
given undivided attention.
Senator Harris made an important an
in, the meeting, on behalf,
it is supposed. of the opponents of the
repeal bill. This was to the effect that
hereafter it was his purpose to demand
that at all times there shall be quorum
in the senate. This announcement is
supposed to have originated in the state
of affairs discovered in the senate yes
terday.

tion of war claims, etc.

without depositing bonds to secure it,
and the bonds now on deposit with the
treasury to secure circulation may be
withdrawn. The United States shall
have the first lien on the assets of any
failed national bank to secure its guar
antee OF the banks circulation, and in
case the assets are not sufficient to re-
imburse the government, the comptrol-
Ter OF the currency shall make an assess
ment upon the national banks of
the state in which the direlict bank
is located, divided pro rata according to
the capital and surplus, to make up the
deficiency. Besides the circulation pro-
vided for, as stated, banks may issue an
amount equal to 80 per cent of their
capital and surplus, to be known az an
emergency circulation" secured by
United States bonds, and pay tax of
& per cent until retired.
