THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.

rhlk That senators Allen and Kyle win
NOt" to strike out tho Duty on Refined
Sugars.
WASHINGTON, June 2G.-It is stated
upon authority that when the senate
takes up the tariff bill for considcra-
ton In open session, Senators Allen
and Kyle, OF the populists, who have
all along stood with the democrats In
committee of the whole, viii vote with
the republicans to strike out the clause
In the sugar schedule which places
n duty of one-eighth cent n
pound upon refined sugars. With
this supposition for basis,
and even democrats who favor the bill
are inclined 20 regard II as true, the
probability of break with the possi-
bility Of defeat is being freely specu-
lated upon. The new turn In the situ-
alton is serious, but the democratic
leaders are unwilling TO admit that de-
feat Is possible at this time
II will be remembered that upon
Peffer's amendment for free sugar the
vote stood 20 to ~. The democrats In
the senate have forty-four votes. II
Kyle and Allen vote to strike out the
tax ON refined sugars, on u full count
OF the senate the vote would stand, on
strict party roll, for the tax, a; against
II, II. Hin and Irby then could, by
voting with the republicans and popu-
lists, defeat the bill.
senator Jones last night, when asked
what the effect would be II Allen and
Kyle voted against the refined sugar
tax, said:
II Is too late TO defeat the bill now. We had
democrats have shown their organization 10 be
too thorough. The vote will be close, but we
will carry the bill through just as Il Is agreed
upon In committee OF the whole. / should not
have lost sleep and given the time TO the bill |
have II had thought It's passage depended up
on whnt the popullsts would do We have
enough democratic votes to pass the bill, and
that ls what we propose to do.

THlRTY-slx PERSONS DROWNED
The Loss of life on the Tugboat NIcoI
Greater Than Flrst EstIInntea.

Greater Than First Estimates.
NEW York, June 2G.-IIow many per-
sons were drowned by the capsizing of
the tug James ID. Nicol, off Sandy
Hook, is not yet known. The excur-
ionlsts were from all over the east
side, from College Point, from Brook
lyn and even from llobolSen. and il Is
probable that some of those drowned
will never be reported or heard from
again.
The disaster is rendered more har-
rowing by the fact that most of the
men were married, and leave large
families. The biggest estimates In the
dispatches sent out were probably
within the mark, for it is now thought
that not less than thirty-six persons
perished So far, however, only seven
bodies have been recovered.

Lightning at Piit,fsId, Mass.

PIrrsFIEtD, Mass, July 29.-After an
excessively warm morning. this city was
visited, this afternoon, by a succession of
severe thunder storms, which killed one
man, shocked several others, and
wrought havoc generally. The direst
work of the lightning was at Thomas
island, Onota lake, where George B. Castle,
aged rs, was instantly killed aud Charles
johnson, Henry Wagner and Lena Wagner
terribly shocked. These four, with Castles
wife and Mrs. Samuel Williams, had been
camping at Thomas island for six weeks
and were to break camp tonight.
When the third storm of the afternoon
came up, Castle, johnson, Wagner and
Miss Wagner went out under a large pine
tree 20 feet from the cottage. The storm
did not seem near, but suddenly came a
flash of lightning which struck the tree,
all four falling to the ground. Mrs. Castle
aud Mrs. Williams carried them into the
cottage and the people living near by, at
tracted by the crash, were soon at hand.
Medical aid was speedily summoned and an
ambulance sent to the scene. johnson re-
covered in an hour and the others will come

DEBs SCORES AGAIN.
Court Of appeals Sustains His Appeal From
the Decision Of The chancery Court.

CHICAGO, July 90 -Proceedings against
Debs Ell al in the United States circuit couit
here under the bill filed July in behalf of
the railroads represented in the General
Managers Association we're brought to a
sudden and temporary close, yestt rday, by
an order from Judge Woods, who is now in
indianapolis.
Debs and others appealed from the chao-
Gerry proceedings to the United States cir
cult court of appeals, in which proceedings
the injunction was issued by Judges Woods
and Grosscup. The appeal has been granted
and Judge Woods order checks further
movements, but does not interfere in any
way with the matters Of contempt.
The bond Of the appellants was fixed by
Judge Woods at 5000. The grounds on
which the appeal WAS asked were that the
bill for injunction was not signed in the
name of the attorney general of the
United States; that the bill was not
supported by proper atliiavits; that the
subject matters Of the bill were inauilicie
to support an injunction; that a court of
equity couldno rightly take cognizance of
things stated in the bill.
In the case of the American Raiiway
Union the same prayer was presented, and
the whole case, including Debs and his
brother officers ard tile union, will go to
the court of appeals as soon as bond the
is filed. the application for TIE appeal was
made by Attorney General Gregory in a
letter to Judge Woods written three days
