TARIFF PROGRESSING.
Contest Over the Sugar Schedule
to Begin, in Earnest, to-day.

Only one amendment to the tariff
bill was argued during Saturdays ses-
sion of the House, that related to the
tin-plate schedule. 1t proved unim-
portant, however, affecting not the
rates but the technicalities ofthe trade.
The Henderson amendment to substi-
tute the existing rates on agricultural
products, the Dingely amendment to
change the rates on lime from 10 per
cent ad valorem to specific duty of
cents per 100 pounds and the Grain
amendment to reduce the duties on
cotton and woolen goods from 45 per
cent to % per cent were lost.
AT 10 o'clock the presidents secre-
tary appeared with the Hawaiian mes
sage and the veto of the New York
and New Jersey bridge bill. The
reference in the message Of trans
mission to the remarkable letter of
President Dole to Minister Willis
caused great curiosity in the house,
and Mr.. Hit, leader of the republican
minority of the committee on foreign
affairs, asked that the letter be read.
No objection was made While read
lug was progressing the members on
both sides crowded down about the
speakers rostrum, listening eagerly
to the protest of the Dole govern
ment against the action of Minister
Willis. At several points in the letter
the republicans applauded, and when
it was finished they broke into cheers.
When Mr.. Willis reply was read the
democrats in turn gave it theirapprov-
ing plaudits. The subsequent CORES
pondence evoked applause from each
side alternately, the republicans ap-
plauding President Doles communica-
tions and the democrats signliying
with voice and hand their approval of
the courage of Mr. Willis. AT the
conclusion of the reading the message
and the accompanying documents
were referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.
The house then resolved itself INTO
committee of the whole for the con-
sideratlon Of the tarilf bill The inter-
est in the tariff had plainly departed,
and the members stood about in
groups discussing the Hawaiian mes
sage and correspondence.
Mr.. Wilson asked unanimous con-
sent that on Tuesday three hours be
set aside for discussion of the coal
schedule and three hours for the iron
ore schedule. After some parleylng
this was agreed 70.
Mr. McRae of Arkansas gave notice
that he would on Monday offer an
amendment to strike out the sugar
bounty.
At $50 the committee rose and the
house recessed until o'clock with an
important amendment by Mr. Hit
pending, the subject of which was to
force Canada 10 admit our coal free III
return for the free admission of
Canadian coal into the United States.
Several additional speeches were
made during the evening session, but
no decisive measures were taken on
the amendment pending. The even.
ing's debate was closed by Mr. Strong,
(rep.) of Ohio, in opposition to the
bin, after which the body adjourned.

In the Way of Investments

It is evident that the best and most
solid investment, where speculation
is not contemplated, that is offered
in the United States today is pol
icy in the New York Life Insurance
Company. In saying this 1 Of course
have in mind every sensible mans
wish to proftably lay aside a GER
tain amount each year with view
of its accommodating into a snug sum
of wealth, or as a wise provision for
the comforts of old age, or for
rainy day. AS an investment, it
will pay better interest than gov
eminent bond; and as for safety,
the New YORK LIFE IS AS SOUND AS
THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF. Such a
policy is at any time readily availa-
Bile as SECURITY FOR LOANS, besides
being at all times a valuable asset.
There was time when all life in
surance was simply game at which
a man had to die to win. The New
York Life has developed it into a
great system of advantageous in
vestment in which the old idea of
provision in case of death is but one
feature.
A policy taken in the New York
Life Insurance Co., for two, five,
ten or twenty thousand dollars for,
say a term of twenty years, costs
an annual sum to maintain it; but
every dollar that is paid goes to
swell the fund that will come back.
One will come in possession of a
small fortune at the age of Al from
a policy taxed at q, concerning the
accumulation of which he has had
no anxieties. If, on the other hand,
he dies early or late after taking
out his policy, his heirs will receive
the full amount of the insurance.
When you realize how dear your
wife, children, mother or sister are,
and how much they would gladly do
for their comfort and safety, then
resolve to insure your life for Their
benefit that you may do your best
for them, living or dead; and when
life seems prosy, and all men selfish,
let your resolution still hold. If YOU
are true and noble, and unselfsh,
there will be one bright spot in the
world.
