NEW YORK, May l2.-Cuban cen
trifugal, 96 degrees, go cents gram
ulated, cents net.
The San Francisco market is fairly
active and receipts continue large.
The tariff bill, as finally agreed
upon by the Democratic members of
the Senate Finance Committee, was
made public on the 9TH. Many
changes have been made. since the
committee reported its first bill, but
these changes are by no means con-
sidered radical. 1t is believed the new
bill, or in other words the amend
ments to the original bill, will receive
the support of all the Democratic Sem
ators, with the possible exception of
Hill, who may fall into line when the
final vote is taken. There was a story
in circulation today that Caffery and
Blanchard may oppose the measure
because their Louisiana constituents
have protested against the abolition
of the sugar bounty. 1t is fact,
however, that the colleagues of CAT
fery and Blanchard do not appear to
be at all worried over this rumOr.
Neither Of the two Senators will dis
cuss the matter. The amendments on
the sugar tariff follow:
THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
The new sugar schedule provides:
On and after Jan. l, 1895, there shall
be levied, collected and paid on all

concrete and concentrated molasses a

upon all sugars above number Is,

Secretary Gresham is evidently
bent on trying TO duplicate his |
Hawaiian record in Samoa as far as
he can do so. The following dispatch |
from Washington explains itself:
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Presi- |
dent today submitted to the Senate |
the correspondence relative to Samoa |
called for by Senator Gray's resolution |
of April 9Th. The correspondence is |
very voluminous, covering about TO- !
900 psges. In submitting it to the /
President Secretary Gresham has tax |
en- the opportunity to set out at length |
his conclusions as to the workings of |
the tripaItite agreement. This letter |
Of the Secretary is certain to give rise
TO much discussion and controversy.
The Secretary details at some length |
the facts connected with the tripartiIe |
protectorate in Samoa, the establish /
ment of a new form of government, 4
the election of MalietOa as King, the I.
reluctance Of the natives to accept the /
new regime, the resort to c0ercive
the breaking out of war in
July, 1898, the Intervention Of Mata-
afa and eleven other chiefs. Then
followed the appointment of Henry
C. Ide as Chief Justice and the more
recent troubles in Samoa,
