MINORITY RULE.
Republicans Not Ready to Vote on
the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON. May 25.-The Democratic
managers of the tariff bill have been con-
ferring among themselves day with the
view of finding means of Fastening the
final disposition of the bill. and at one
time during the day decided to ask the Re-
publicans tomorrow to agree to a date
when the vote should be taken, but after
conference with the Republican leaders il
was decided 10 postpone the request for
the present. They had expected to ask
that the date for the vote be fixed for the
Sth or 9th of June, and thought they would
be able to secure an agreement for about
the 18Th of June. The conference with
the Republicans convinced them that if
he request should be made now it would
be antagonized and probably would result
in loss of time, whereas il it should be
made later it might BE acceded to. They
have not yet decided whether they will
ask for an extension of hours into the
evening, but the Republicans will decide
that by their course in the debate If
fairly rapid progress is made for the next
few days the evening sessions will not be
ate pted, but otherwise the Senate in all
probability will be asked to sit until 10
O'Clock every night until the bill shall be
acted upon and sent to the House.

torted, He Could Not Possibly
Pay 1t.

Hawaiian resolution was considered fer
half an hour in the Senate to-day and he
asked for vote. Gray moved 10 suostl-
tute the resolution reported from the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. ana the dis
cussion continued until the hour for con-
sideration of the tariff bill arrived.
Harris insisted upon the regular order
and asked unanimous consent that the
resolutions be voted on without debate to-
morrow morning. Turpie objected. Frye
then asked that they be considered again
tomorrow. George objected.
Then followed a clash between Hoar
and Harris. HOar said it was the uni
versal sentiment of the country that there
should be no interference by the United
States with the domestic affairs of Hawaii.
Morgan, chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, fully Endorsed what
Hoar said. The latter was proceeding 10
say he hoped Morgan's Endorsement of his
statement would echo around the world,
when Harris declared that the tariff bill
was before tie Senate and further dis
cussion was out of order.
Hoar protested vigorously against angry
and discOurteous lectures"
Harris retorted that he owed less cOur-
tesy to the Senator from Massachusetts
than to any other.
IF the Senator from Tennessee owes
any one courtesy" retorted Hoar, "he
could not pay one thOusandth of mill on
a dollar" This closed the Incident

Los ANGELES, May 25.-On motion of
Deputy District Attorney Conklin the in
formation charging Comstock, Fitzsim-
mons and Thorne with The first train rob-
berry at Roscoe was dismissed this morn
ing. This move is brought about by the
death Of Len Harris, which will make con-
victiOn in the first case rather doubtful.
TEen, too. the effort of Shoulders at
tOrney TO have his client forwarded to
Folsom without further delay to serve his
five years sentence is likely to be success
full, and the case against him would then
naturally be dismissed also.
Deputy District Attorney Conklin claims
that the dismissal of the first case will
save the county at least $1,000 and he is
confident he has good case in the second
robbery. He is expectant of bringing the
accused to justice even with one charge

SOUTH DAKOTA Q
Reports From Thirty-Seven Counties OF
the State.

The following summary of crop con
ditions in South Dakota is based upon
reports received at the United States
Weather Bureau at Huron from thir.
ty-Seven counties:
The severe drought that has con-
tinued for several weeks owe the east
ern and the southern part of the west.
ern portions of the state was broken
during the week just ended by show
ers. light in some localities and
heavy in others. The rain has been
very beneficial, but the ground was SO
dry that more will be needed soon in
many localities to do permanent good.
All crops, where not ruined by the
drought have been much benefited.
but in many localities in the east pOl-
ton the dry weather and very high
and warm winds for several days pre-
ceding the showers, had injured
wheat, oats and barley in spots be-
yOnd recovery.
itappears that oats suffered most.
but generally all small grain suffered,
and corn and potatoes. though holding
out well, were retarded in growth.
and in the dryest localities suffered.
Corn and potatoes look we'll in nearly
all counties, and where showers oc-
Cured show marked improvement.
1t Is too early yet to tell what the
full effect of the recent rains will be.
Grass will be much benefit ed, but re-
ports indicate that the prospect for
this, as well as small grain crops. is
only fair. probably one-half. The
rains will aid in the termination of
late sown seed, principally millet, flax
and corn. In some localities early
wheat and oats are heading, with very
short stems. Late sOwn small grain
appears to have better prospects thar
the early With fairly favorably
weather. from now on the corn pros
pect is very good. Reports from Brule
and Roberts Counties Indicate that
the drought injury was light: and from
Lawrence County no injury at all is re.
ported.

MYSTERIOUS LETTER "B."
Its Appearance Put Down as a Pre-
dictiOn of Disaster.

Peru, Ind, special: Superstitious
people of the city and country are
worried over the discovery that the
letter "B" is being found plainly i'm
pressed upon leaves Of growing oats,
and it is put down as a prediction of
disaster. The letter is taken as an in
dication of ''bloodshed," and it is said
in proof of this that the mysterious
circumstance was noticed preceding
the civil war and the war of 1912,
hence with such examples in the past
some look upon its ~reappearance as
prophetic of some similar calamity. A
reporter investigated the truthfulness
of the letters presence and found it
as reported. The letter is distinct
and seems to have been pressed into
aad across the leaves as with type.
Some people say 1.-THE appearance OF
the letter is frequent and means moth
ing, but none a explain the cause Of
its presence
