The country is becoming very

SUGAR TAX FIXED
Compromise Amendments to the
Tariff Bill Adopted by
the Senate.
PASSAGE OF THE MEASURE INSURED
Hill and Irby Vote For Free Sugar
and Several Republicans
Against It.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-The compro-
mise amendments to the sugar schedule
were adopted in the senate during the
day, and the pivotal schedule on which
the fate of the sariff measure depended
went through without change. On the
vital amendment to place all sugars on
the free list the Democratic line was
drawn, Mr.. Hill On. W voting in favor
of it, and Mr.. Irby Is. CO. being paired
the same way. The Republicans were
unable to hold their own forces, Messrs.
Henderson and Perkins voting against
the amendment and Mr.. Quay being
paired against it, while Mr.. Sherman,
who was present, did net vote at all
Only one of the Populists, Mr.. PETER,
Voted for Free Sugar,
Messrs. Kyle and Allen in the final is
sue joining with the majority of Demo-
Gratis against it. Had all the Republl-
cans with the three Populists and the
two disaffected Democrats joined hands,
sugar, raw and refined, would have
gone on the free list
On all the other amendments offered
by the Repu blicans the majority
against them ranged from to 10. The
adoption of the sugar schedule practl-
cally insures the passage of the bill at
an early date, although it is intimated
that the Republicans will make final
stand on the sugar schedule, when the
bill is reported and considered in the
senate.
Provisions of the Schedule.
As adopted the schedule imposes duty
of 40 per cent ad valorem on all sugars,
raw and refined, with differential of
one-eighth of a cent per pound on
sugars above 16 Dutch st,Idard, and an
additional one-tenth of cent against
sugars imported from countries paying
an export bounty. 1t continues the
Hawaiian treaty, admitting sugars
from the Sandwich Islands free of duty,
and places duty of 2 cents per gallon
on molasses testing above 10 dogs. by
the polariscope. Tue schedule goes into
effect Jan. l, 1895, and the bounty is
continued until that date.

PERALTA LAND GRANT
LARGEST CLAIM EVER MADE IN
AMERICA.
A Contest Over the Title of IL, 800. 900
Acres of Land in Now Mexico and
ArizOna-MAny Rich Mines
Involved.

SILVER CITY, N. NJ, March 25.-The
biggest land grant claim ever made in
this country is now before the United
States court of private land claims at
Santa Fe. It is known as the Peralta
grant, and is for 12,8O0, 900 acres of land
in New Mexico and Arizona. The east
ern boundary OF the grant is about 10
miles eRst Of this place. and the grant
extends west about 250 miles, including
Phoenix, the capital OF Arizona. The
width of the grant is about 80 miles.
Between this place and Phenix there
are about dozen towns OF Importance
and some of the richest mineral and
agricultural lands in the entire south
west, all of which are included
ia claimed by man named
Reavis and his associates, who have
formed a company for the prosecution
Of the claim. Reavis has been about 80
years gathering testimony in support of
the title. It is alleged that he first dis
covered evidence OF the claim while he
was employed in law office in st. Louis,
and since that time his life has been
devoted to making and maturing plans
for securing the grant. He first secured
the chain of title from the original
grantee, Senior Don Miguel Silva de
Peralta de la Cordoba, to whom it is
claimed the Spanish king granted this
enormous tract in 174S. The grantee
willed the land to his con, Miguel
Peralta, in 177S, and Miguel Perslta
decided it to George NJ. Willing in 1854,
or &c years after the date of his fathers
will. Other transiers were made down
to 1882, when Reavis obtained the title.
Reavis married in California the only
descendant of Peralta and the claim is
also based on the right OF this woman ss
an heir of the original grantee. mase
of testimony has been taken in Califor'
mia which tends to show that her claim
ia a valid one. Thousands of dollars
have been expended in get
ting that testimony aud hav-
ing it printed lu English and
Spanish. The attorneys In the case are
Hon j. o. Broadhead of st. Louis,
United States minister to Switzel land
P. B. Thompson, Jr., of Kentucky, and
J. H. Knabel, OF Santa Fe, for the
claimants, and United States Attorney
Matt G. Reynolds is assisted by S. Nal.
lett Provost of New York, as special
counse! for the government, having been
selected to conduct the case by Attorney
General Olney. The claimants are ready
for trial at the next term OF the land
court. which will be held at Santa Fe in
Nav. but it will take the attorneys fol-
the government perhaps two years tc
make all the necessary preparations
Since Reavis commenced working uI
the case, the heirs of Miguel Silva, whc
also claim to be descendants of PerAlta
have filed a claim in conflict with the
Reavis claim for 100000 acres. The
copper mines at Clifton and Globe, the
most valuable in the southwest, and ths
gold districts of Pinos Altos, Carlisle
Mogella, Cooney and Silver creek arf
also covered by the grant. II it shoulc
be confirmed, it would make the claim
ants the largest land owners in th'
United States and at the same time the
wealthiest company in the country.

The temples of worship on Fifth ave-
nue. were as usual the center of attrac-

fare to and from servicO was the grand
procession it always lie. St. Patrick's
was packed to the doors. The decora-

passed, perhaps, anything that had been
heard before in the editice. The par.
ishioners, thst they might not be crowd
ed out by strangers, were given tickets,
and the throng that came filled up the
aisles and the vestibules and stretched
out to the street. Solemn ponti6cal
mass was celebrated at IL O'Clock by
Archbishop Corrigan. The chorus wss
composed OF 500 voices, and beside :
there was a chancel choir Of 80 boys.
The programme included selections from
Gounod, Hemmel and Keilscheimer.
At old Trinity the high celebration at
80 O'Clock brought q throng greater
than the church could hold. The
choicest flowers filled the church with
the richest perfume. In the rear of the
chapel WAS a gold cross fully two feet

SAN FRANcIsoo, March 25.-G. A.
Frost, who, up to few weeks ago, held
the Office of financial secretary of
the Hawthorne club. is among the
missing. He has been living with a
relative on Fell street since his arrival
from the southern part OF the state
about year ago.
About three weeks ago Frost's uncle,
Rev. Shields, retired Baptist minister
OF San Diego, came to visit him. On
the morning of the day he disappeared
he went into his uncle's bed room
to bid him good bye, saying
he had an early appointment down
town. He became very atfectionate and
kissed his uncle several times. When
the minister got up he discovered
that his purse, containing about
$40, was missing. He thinks thai
it accompanied his Rffectionate
nephew. The missing man'S ac'
counts with the Hawthorne club are
not as they should be, and The membefI
of the club would like him to appear
and explain some discrepancies between
the books of the treasurer and some re
ceipts which several of the member

GEORGES DOCTRINES.
A RumOr That They Arc Condemned by
tho Holy Omco.


tho Holy Ohlco.
New York, March 25.-There was
published here today statement from
a Rome correspondent that the holy
Office has condemned the doctrines OF
Henry George and that this condemna-
tion will be followed by come grave con-
sequences. In view OF the fact that
Henry George is expected to be candi-
date for the mayoralty of this city, and
that euch a pronouncement would seri-
ously effect his chances of success, an
Associated Press preventative made in
quiries as to the truth of the statement
today. Rev. James N. Connolly, secre-
tary to Archbishop Corrigan, said:
Henry Georges doctrineeIwere emphat-
ically condemned by the holy see two
years ago and there is no cry for any
further condemnation of them now"
Mr.. John Crimmins did not believe
the holy Office had made any recent
pronouncement. THE pope" he said,
issued an encyclicsl two years ago in
which he condemned Henry Georges
theory as to the ownerehip OF lands.
That encyclical deals with the question as
we'll now as when iesued."
Mr.. Henry George said: 81 do not
believe there 10 any truth in the state
ment. l do not think the holy Office
will, or can condemn my doctrines"
In answer to question as to whether
the encycical wae not condemnatory of
his theories, Nj. George said: "The en-
cyclical does does not deal with my
doctrine at all, and therefore can not
condemn it. My doctrine is 80 pslpably
right that any such condemnation as
that spoken of is utterly impossible"
Rev. DIR. Edward McGlynn looked
upon the statement as absurd. 81 am
positive, he said, "that it is false. The
inquisltion has neither condemned Mr..
Georges doctrines, nor will it do 80. OF
that you may rest assured"
1t is asserted tho condemnation of
Mr.. Georges doctrine has been for
Warded from Rome,
