CHANGES IN THE TARIFF.
The Compromise Before the
Senate.
More than 400 Amendments
Reported.
A Measure Greatly Different From
the Wilson Bill.
Marked Changes From the Origin al
Senate Bill-Duties Raised All
Around-The New Sugar
Schedule.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. May 7.-During the ex-
ecutive session of the senate today SEN
ator Jones, of Arkansas, presented the
amendments TO the tariff bill which have
been considered and agreed to by the
Democratic senators known as the COM
promise committee. There are over 400
Of them and it makes new bill. or a
measure greatly different from the Will
son bill and from the senate bill in any
form in which it has been presented.
The bills heretofore presented by Sena-
tor Vest and reported fr ON the finance
committee, are endorsed by the COM
mttee. There is general increase in
the bill, and in some schedules the in
crease is very marked.
Senator Harris announced that not
withdrawing the consideration of the
Chinese treaty had not been finished, he
would oppose more executive sessions or
the passage of any bills during the
morning hours until after the tariff bill
was disposed of. He said he would now
press for sessions beginning at 10 o'clock
in the morning in order that more speed
might be made.
REPUBLICAN sTEERERs.
The Republican steering committee OF
the senate held conference today for
the purpose of considering the attitude
of the Republican party in the senate
on the tariff question, in view of the
claims made by the Democrats that they
have assurance of the 43 votes necessary
to pass the bill. While the Members of
the committee do not freely discuss the
action of the committee, it is under
stood they have decided to notify the
Democratic leaders that they have no
intention of flibustering against the
tariff, and especially would not be in
eined to resort to dilatery tactics if the
Democratic party should prove to be
substantially united on the tariff bill.
The interchange of views developed the
fact. however, that the Republicans
think there is much material in the new
compromise bill for legitimate discus
sion, and that they will insist upon the
right to discuss the bill as amended
upon its merits.

A CARGO OF WIVES.
How a Community Of Hungarian Miners
Settled the Marriage Question.

How Community OF Hungarian Miners
Settled the Marriage Question.
Il think the most remarkable sight /
ever witnessed" said Pueblo Col }
man to a st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat rep
resentative, was at a small mining
town in our state where the majority
of the miners are Poles or Ilungarians
or both. For some time Il rumor had
gone around that the bachelor MEM
beers of the community had sent enough
money to the old country to secure a
delegation of unmarried females to
come out and share their good fortune
with them. The prospective bride
groOms drank more than usual as the
arrival of the peculiar cargo became
more certain, and when finally a teic-
gram was received from New York that
these damselS had actually arrived and
were on board a train, the men cele
brated the last of their bachelor days
by a firSt-claSS drunk. They were
fairly sober on the morning the train
was to arrive, and putting on their best
clothes they arrived at the depot with
that peculiarly uncomfortable look
which miners are apt to assume when
dressed for meeting. About half the
town was at the depot as well, and
some one rather maliciously started a
cheer when the young ladies with their
huge bundles began to alight from the
cars. The crowd took up the idea and
a mighty cheer rang through the air.
The miners took charge of their pro-
posed brides. and retired with them to
the house of married friend, where it
is to be presumed brides and bride
grooms were divided up so as to suit
the feelings of the majority. The proc
ess did not take more than half an hour,
and within an hour of the arrival Of
the train a local justice of the peace
had securely tied the sundry and divers
knots necessary to complete the trans
action. No marriage bureau ever did
business in so strictly a regular and
satisfactory manner"

The Sports and the Mackeys, two
local mines, composed OF young
men, ranging in years from nine
teen upwards to twenty-four,
played a good game on the Crosby
street grounds, in the rear of the
Sunset roundhouse, yesterday af-
ternoon, and the contest was as an
exciting and interesting one as
anyone would care to see. The
game was marked by heavy
hitting and some clean fielding.
Where the boys appear to be slow
and need little improvement is
in their running. They don't know
how to take advantage of an oppor-
tunity to steal a base, but they will
learn this in a short while. The
score of the game was TO , in
favor of the Sports. Both mines
were evenly matched and the con-
test became interesting from the
moment Umpire Boubel cried,
"Play bail ~ Interest never Jagged
at any stage Of the game. Ii was
an ideal baseball game, one OF those
that will be enjoyed by anybody
who loves baseball. 1t was no
pitchers battle, but one of those
smuggling and fielding matches.
The following are the players
that took part in the game: Sports,
Barnee, Green, Stewart, Hamilton,
Boubel, r. De Arment, Gallagher,
Ragsdale, f. De Arment, Snyde,
d. Arment, Mackey, Mooney,
AhlIShOIls
Spear, Pfeil, Rivas, Burke and
Oppermann.
These players, individually, may
not be as well-seasoned as many
who have played in San Antonio,
but the games they pat up have
been as interesting and exciting
as any yet seen here.
What the baseball public OF San
Antonio wants to see are closely
contested games, in which there is
heavy hitting and clean fielding.
These are the main factors OF base
ball. The other points of the game
will be acquired with a little prac-
tice.
The West End Browns and a
picked nine played a game at San
Pedro park yesterday in which
there was some heavy batting. The
game was won by the Browns by a
score of 10 to 2.

their hands to cut out various clever
untenSils. Their skill in this line took
the form of cloclmalling about 1850 or
80. There were very documentary
ideas afOat concerning what cOnstitu-
ted a clock in those days. At first a
weight was used hung from string.
Later the pendulum was introduced.
Then came the striking onc-day clocks.
Again, a little later, the eight-day
clocks. By their own discoveries and
by the adoption of the inventions of
foreigners these people have thus
steadily kept themselves in the front
rank among the clock manufacturers
of the world. This section particularly
eXcels in making automatic clocks, and
clocks combined with musical boxes
and other novelties. The principal
thing in this line, however, is the
cuckoo clock lin German kuluk) The
first cuckoo clock was put together
about one hundred and fifty years ago
by an inventive old Schwarzwalder. and
the popularity of his clever mechanical
device continues without abatement.
The cuckoo is put up in every kind
of a clock case and with every kind Of
good. bad and indifferent time-keeping
machinery. He may be had, works and
all. for one dollar, and so on up, ac-
cOrding to the quality of his song and
other characteristics. His special pc
culiarity, of course, is his regularity,
and this is what got him into trouble
in the United States. He has a small
cage upat the top of the clock and when
ever the time comes for him to go
through his exhibition his door flies
open, he steps out in front, bows and
flaps his wings and sings his little song
He has been criticised for his limited
repertory. Nature did this, and no
bird can improve on nature. The pc
culiar sound is made by the use % a
sort of double bellows. through which
the wind is forced at the proper inter-
walls. If it is good clock the mimicry
is perfect. 1t is an invention which
could have been made only here, in the
land of the cuckoo. At this time of
the year the bird can be heard see
saving away in every copse of woods
He has points of difference from the
American cuckoo. He does not lay his

fact, to be very decent kind of fowl

One of the interesting events of the
week in the city across the bridge IS the
action of the managers of the course OF
social economic lectures and discussions
at the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton rooms. The course includes II lee
lures on successive Friday evenings on
current and pertinent topics by such
representative men as Professor Rosslter
w Raymond, Jacob Riis, the Hon. Car
roll D. Wright and others.
Two lectures have already been given,
at each of which there was one or two
ladies in the audience. Noticing this,
the Hon. Asa W. Tenney, the permanent
chairman, acting with his natural
courtesy, extended at the close of the
second lecture an invitation to the audi
tors to bring their wives and daughters

The New Woman Crusade.

At last there are signs of reaction III
the new woman crusade. "A warning
was sounded at the headquarters Of the
Pioneer club, where a private debate
was held on Thursday evening Mrs.
Hobson opened the discussion of the
topic, Whether the attitude Of some
advanced women toward men was not
calculated to injure the best interests Of
the female sex. (" The speaker defended
man as possessing capabilities both OF
goodness and education and urged that
he be treated with more kindliness and
federation; that, IN fact, some diplomacy
should be exercised toward him. The
vigorous views of certain order OF
platform ladies by no means expressed
the opinions Of the best of their sisters,
but while these were so assertlvely adj
vanced it was unlikely that men would
accord them the franchise or other prlv1-
1eges She would give women the right
to decide whether to lead single or a
married life, but she deprecated the
rush Of married women into the labor
market. She urged that the hard things
said in the past be forgotten, fresh
start made. and that women talk less
and act more
Piss Ward, leading the opposition,
said that the present attitude of ad-
vanced woman had been forced upon her
by necessity, and that no abject race
had ever improved its position without
hard knocks on either side
Others continued the discussion, but
it was evident that the general sympa-
thy was with Mrs. Hobson, provided
that the conciliatory tone she advocated
was not allowed to degenerate into weak
cOllcessi on New York Sun.
