FINAL VOTE DELAYED.
The NEW TARIFF CANNOT 90 INTO
EFFECT BEFORE AUGUsT IsT.
Further Changes to be Made In the Sugar
Schedule and the Income Tax
Feature.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 19.-Demo-
Gratis 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 to the final vote about
the 2d Of July, which is the first Monday
in that month. This conclusion is based
upon rumors that have reached them
that the western and northwestern Re
publicans propose to make long cam
paign speeches on the subject Of free
wool and free lumber, and that a scheme
mas been perfected 20 keep up the dis
cussion until after June Both.
TO TAKE EFEEcT ABOUT AUGUST 1sr.
A member of the committee who has
been active in the MANAGEMENT OF the
bill declared this morning mat he d1d
not expect the bill to become a law and
20 into effect before the first Of August.
and said that Congress would hardly
adjourn before the middle of that month.
II has been practically decided that
there is to be a further revolution OF
the sugar schedule. The sugar schedule
AZ IT will finally be adopted will place
duty OF 40 per cent. ad NalOrem on
raw sugars, and i-Sc. additional on re-
fined, and end there. The discriminating
duty Of l-i0c against all countries paying
an export bounty on refined sugars VIII
be eliminated from the bill, as IL IS
claimed that the - per cent gives
ample protection the refiners, 20 say
nothing OF the iif. ontiai that is allowed
them The sugar schedule will also be
further amended so as TO make II so
into effect when the other parts OF the
bin go into effect. Immediately upon It's
passage.
T. AN Nd II 'NCON TAX.
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 frater-
nal and beneficial organizations and So
cieties conducted on the Lodge plan. By
an inadvertcnce the paragraph relating 10
wool tops and royings was permitted 10
gO through the other day at ID per cent.
when il was intended TO make this duty
q per cent. This mistake Will be recuhed.
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 40 per cent, while the duty on
cloth entering into the manufacture Of
the same grade OF goods is fixed at %
per cent. This is a discrimination against
the manufacture in this country that VIII
be remedied by Increasing the duty on
the finished product 10 80 per cent

in the district court yesterday morn
ing, upon the proceedings for con.

The court censured Martin and Orr
far arming men and placing dynamite

asserted that Mullins and Barnes were

been been beaten to jelly. An ak or

1t is supposed that after the fiend
had satisfied his lust he killed the girl
and the old woman to keep his crime
from being discovered. There is no
clue to the murderer, but it is supposed
to have been the work of negro
tramp who was seen near the house at
nightfall.
