TARIFF TALK TO Be ON TAP.
The Bill Not TO Become a Law Before
August.

Republican Senators Determined to
Keep up Their Chin Music for the
Balance of the Present Month-Fur-
ther Revision of the Sugar Schedule
Decided on-ChanEes Also to Be
Made in the Wool Schedule.
Washington, June l9.-Democrats, who
up to this time have been sanguine of the
speedy passage of the tariff bill, have
reached the conclusion that the bill
cannot pass before the end of the fiscal
year, and they are now looking forward
which is the first Monday in that
month. This conclusion is based
upon rumors that have reached them
that the western and northern republi-
cans propose to mako long campaign
speeches on the subject of free wool and
Tree lumber, and that a scheme has been
perfected to keep up the discussion until
alter June 30 A member of the commit
tee, who has been active in the manage
ment Of the bill declared this morning
that he did not expect the bill to become
a law before the first of August. He said
that congress would hardly adjourn be-
fore the middle of that month.
FURTHER REVISION ON SUGAR.
there is to be further revision of the
sugar schedule. The sugar schedule, as
u VIII finally be adopted will place a
duty of 40 per cent ad valorem on raw
sugar, and a of cent additional on re-
fined and end there. The discriminating
duty of l-l0 of cent against all countries
paying an export bounty on refined sugars
will be eliminated from the bill, as it is
claimed that the 40 per cent. gives ample
protection to the refiners, TO say nothing
OF the diferential that is allowed them.
The sugar schedule will also be further
amended so as to make it go into effect
when the other parts Of the bill go into
e1ect-immediately upon its passage.
The committee has decided 10 amend
the income tax feature of the bill in ac-
cordance with the request of the thou
sands of petitions that have come to the
Senate, and will omit from the operations
of the income tax the funds of all frac-
tional and beneficial organizations and
societies conducted on the lodge plan.
THE RATE ON WOOL TOPS.
BY an inadvertence, the paragraph re-
lating to wool tops and rOvings was per-
mitted to go through the other day at Is
per cent, when it was intended TO make
this duty 25 per cent. This mistake will
be rectifed.
Another change will also be made in
the wool schedule. AS agreed to, the rate
on the finished product in mems clothing
is fixed at 45 per cent, while the
duty on cloth entering into
the manufacture of the same
grade of goods is fixed at so per cent
This is a discrimination against the man
ufacture in this country that win be rem
edied by increasing the duty on the fir-
ished product to so per cent. The com
mittee also formally decided to permit the
administrative act of June 10, 1890 to
stand and this will cut from the bin
forty-nine pages and removes matter that
would have caused much contention in the
course of the debate.

GERMANY HOT ar ENGLAND.
The British Cabinet Accused of Sharp
Practice.

Berlin, June 19.-It is reported that Sir
Edward Malet, the British ambassador,
has sent his resignation to his government
in London, stating as the reason for his
wish to retire that it is impossible for him
to longer successfully represent the inter
ests of England at the court of the
kaiser, since, owing to recent actions of
the British cabinet, the confidence of the
emperor has been lost. 1t is said that
the kaiser has bitterly reproached the
British cabinet for taking unfair adyan-
tage of his straigh in deal
ing with England, and also accused Sir
Edward Malet with having countenanced
the English cabinets duplicity Sir Ed
ward Malet, it is asserted, protested to
the kaiser against the accusation, declar-
ing that he was as much surprised as the
kaiser. The emperor then, according to
report, informed Sir Edward that Eng
land could thank herself if henceforth he
should abandon the friendly policy of
Germany and return to Prince Bismarck s
distrust of everything English.

SUNK By AN ICEBERG.
Seven Men, Nine Women and Seven
Children Drowned.

St Johns, n. F., June 19.-The schooner
Rose, Henry, master, bound from Span
iard's bay to Labrador for the summers S
fishery, having on board fishing crews
numbering hfty-fve persons, struck an ice
berg Sunday afternoon off Partridge point
during a dense fog and sank within ten
minutes. The iceberg being low and fiat,
torty-three persons managed to Chamber
upon 1t. The remaining twelve, however,
sank with the vessel. The latter included
eight men, two women and two boys.
The survivors consisted of twenty-seven
men, nine women and seven children, and
but for the accessibility. Of the iceberg,
none OF them would have been saved. The
body of one woman was recovered.
RESCUED FROM THE ICE.
Shortly after, the crew Of another ves-
sci, the Irene, which was passing. hear
ing the cries of the people on the iceberg,
took off the castaways and landed they at
Coachman's Grove Arrangements are
being made to get them home Nothing
was saved except what the rescued peo-
pie wore at the time of the disaster The
loss will be heavy, as the Rose was laden
with fishing supplies and provisions. The
Newfoundland vessels convey great
mum bers of people to Labrador and many
of them carry larger loads than they
should. As they only carry one or two
boats, it is almost impossible to save any
one when an accident occurs.
