Y VIII Not Unnecessarily Prol"ng Debate
WASHINGTON, May 7.-During the ex
ocutive session Senator Jones presented
4 the amendments to the tariff bill which
\ have been considered and agreed to by
\ the Democratic senators. There are
over 400 of them, and it makes new
{ hill, or measure greatly differing from
the Wilson bill and from the senate bill
Ii any form in which it has been pre-
sented. The amendments heretofore
presented by Senator Vest and reported
from the finance committee are en-
dprsed by the compromise committee.
There is a general increase in the bill
ana in some schedules the increases are
very marked. Senator Harris an
npunced that notwithstanding the con-
sideration of the Chinese treaty had not
been finished, he would oppose any
more executive sessions or the passing
Of any bills during the morning hours
until after the tariff bill was disposed
Of. He also said that he would press
for sessions beginning at 10 a. m. in or
der that more speed might be made.
Tho Principal Items.
The new sugar schedule provides that
ON and after Jan. !, 1895, there shall be
levied, collected and paid on all sugars
not above No. IL Dutch standard in
color, duty of 40 per centum ad va
loren, and upon all sugars above No.
Is Dutch standard in color there shall
be levied, collected and paid duty of
one-eighth of one cent per pound in ad-
dition to the said duty of 40 per cent ad
valorem; and all sugars which are i'm
ported from or are the product of any
country which at the time the same are
exported therefrom pays, indirectly or
directly, bounty on the export thereof,
shall pay a duty of one-tenth of one
cent per pound in addition to the fore
going rates.
The iron paragraph fixes duty of 81
per ton on pig iron and three-ffths OF
Ont per pound on structural iron. The
house duty on tin plate, is cents a
pound, is also restored in the new meas
IRE. The cigar paragraph is changed
from s. per pound and rs per cent ad
vslorem to 81 per pound aud rs per
cant. The duty on butter is fixed at 4
CENTS per pound, and eggs, which are
flee in the Wilson bill, are taxed cents
FER dozen. Brussels carpets and car
pets of like character are changed from

Republican Attitude on the Tariff Bill
Declared.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Republi-
can steering committee of the senate
held a conference during the day 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 nec-
sbary to pass the bill. While the mem.
bers Of the committee do not freely dis.
cuss the action of the committee, it is
understood that they decided to notify
tie Democratic leaders that they had
no Intention of flibustering against the
tariff, and especially would not be in
chned to resort to dilatory tactics if
tie Democratic party should prove to
Ie united upon the tariff bill. The in
barchange of views developed the fact,
however, that the Republicans think
that there is much material in the new
compromise bill for legitimate discus
eion, and that they will insist upon the
night to discuss the bill as amended
upon its merits.

WINTER AT THE MILL.

AS far rs hazy drcamland seems
Tho warm o'crflowing town,
And everything is white and chill
When 1t is winter at tho mill.
Tho mill wheel with it's merry whir.
In icy hands is fast;
NO CHEEKY ncighbor seeks tho door;
NO traveller wanders past;
Inc path is lost across tho hill
WHEN 1T is winter ut the mill.
The miller reads his almanac
And wishes it were spring,
When logs como tumbling down the

And lar';s and vccrics sing;
Tho whole wide world Is blank and still
When il i, winter at the mill.
The millcr's wife, sorc discomfort,
Sits by the easement low,
And knits and watches the gray smoke
From village chimncys blow.
There Is no gossip, good or i'll.

HOW LEAD PENCILS ARE MADE.
Each Company Has It's Own Process and
Uses Secret Machinery.

Each Company Has It's Own Process and
Uses Secret Machinery.
There is probably less known about
the manufacture of lead pencils than
any other extensive manufacturing bust
ness" said John NJ. Ready of New
York. II say extensive business, for
many people do not know that there is
as much as Sc, 500,00 expended for
lead pencils in the United States every
year. All tho machinery used in the
production of lead pencils is careful
ly guarded secret 1t is not patented,
but each company has its own process,
and very little is known of it by out
slders. The general idea of the method
OF manufacture can be given.
The graphite, plumbago or black
lead, whichever you may call it, comes
from three places-India, Germany and
one part of the United States. The
American lead is considered the NEST
pure, having about one third more car
bon and much less silica than tho for
elgn article. The plumbago as mined
Is brought to the factory, when the sill
lea is separated from the graphite by a
system similar to that employed in sep
arating free gold from ore. 1t is crush
ed into fine powder and then mixed
with water, which flows over bumper
tables The weight of the lead causes
it to collect OH the tables, and the silica
and baser materials flow off with the
water. The lead is then taken and mix
ed with clay in mortar
The clay is used as n temper to the
lead. The more clay used the harder
tho lead becomes, as when the mixture
is baked the heat affects the clay, hard
ening it, while it has no effect upon the
graphite. The mixture is then placed
in hydraulic press, which forces it out
like black Irvine. This is run upon
tables, where it is cut in lengths of Z
inches, the length of regular lead pen
Gil, and Strengthened. 1t is then placed
In the ovens. l have seen continuous

The pieces of lead are taken from the
oven and placed in tho wood, which is
made in two pieces, then cemented to-
gcther. There is Il peculiar fact about
