year, giving $40 OF u cent bounty per
pound on the sugar testing above 30
degrees by the polariscope aid
$40 of cent on sugar testing
below 80 degrees and above 50
degrees. The secretary OF the
treasury Is also authori ed to refrain
from imposing the additional duty OF
ITO OF cent upon sugar imported
from countries paying export bounty
where it is dc monstrated to his salts
faction that the producer has not re-
ceived the bounty. Senator Blan-
chard' 8 objection Is understood to be
based upon the ground that part Of
the bounty of = cents for the present
year is withdrawn, but the aim of tho
trainers of the bill is 10 avoid giving
double protection to this article, and
they agree that II the duty is to go
into effect Immediately the bounty
should be abated to the extent OF the
protection afforded by the 40 per cent
duty which the sugar schedule as at
present arranged will ord, There

committee on Pacific railroads again
considered the funding bill Saturday
without reaching any result Next
Saturday hearing will be given at
the request of Representative Blair Of
New Hampshire to representatives OF
the Sioux City and Pacific, which owes
debt to the government OF about
50, 100000. Its bonds for 81 600, 900
are guaranteed by the government, it
having been built as a part OF the Pa
ciic system, and the government has
paid interest on it. It's debt is in the
same condition as those of the Gem
trail and Union Pacific, maturing at
the same time. There is a first mort
gage for 81, 6O0,0 900 so that the gov

he had any promise from the com

Passed-senator Blanchard on the

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Chairman
Wilson'S return to congressional work
has brought about definite under
standing among members of the ways
and means committee on the essential
features of now the tariff bill is to be
handled when it returns to the house.
There has been no formal meeting Of
the committee as yet and no resolu-
ton defining the programme has been
passed, but the plan OF procedure is
not the less definitely understood.
The bill will be sent to conference
without any effort to secure agree
ment in whole or in part OF the
house. The feeling is so strong
toward standing by the Wilson bill
and resisting the protective encroach-
ments made by the senate that the
most influential members of the com
mittee say the Wilson bill In its sub
stantial and essential features will be
the rock upon which the committee
will plant itself with the house be-
hind it.

DISEASES OF WOMEN.
"Woman's Weakness"

n new and systematic method.
In the diseases peculiar to women
we employ an entirely new and
uneXcelled method, one pro.
claimed in all the leading hospit-
ais of the East and Europe to be
superior in every feature to any
system. known in all the ages past.
We feel in thus adopting this
system that we can e&rnestly and
heartily recommend every lady
suffering from uterine or ovarian
troubles OF any kind, or any other
form of female weakness, not to
fail by any means to avail them
selves of the chance to be cured.
These painful and distressing
troubles which make the life of a
woman most miserable, and lay
the foundation for a premature
death, are brought undera special
line Of treatment, which affords
Immediate relief and most pleas
ant and effectual cure.

Fun for the Sports.

About 100 local sports assembled
in a suitable place last night to
witness a glove contest between
Angel Alcott and Thomas Thomas.
Four rounds were spared and
Thomas refused to again enter the
ring. Dick Failes and Al Burke
then entered and gave a four-round
exhibition, which was clever in
every way. Blood was drawn on
both sides. At the conclusion the
spectators donated literally for the
evenings amusement and pro-
nounced the last contest as good as
has ever been seen in this city.

Cheap, Telephones.

New York Sun,
The crop of telephones is an en-
traordinarily large one this year
They can be bought for a mere
song now, and many of them are
employed in establishing verbal
communication between houses
and stables, the different sections
of large buildings where speaking
tubes are impracticable, the wings
of factories, and short distance
lines are used in the open air
where there are no disturbing cleo
trio currents. The short distance
telephone lines can be erected for
sums ranging from 81 upward.
The big telephone companies
pushed the price down so far at
the outset that they have practi-
cally killed the opposition of
the outside manufacturers.
There was an understanding OF
this sort in telephone circles just
before the expiration Of the pat
ents, and many of the smaller
companies which were organized
to manufacture telephones gave
up the struggle when they found
themselves face to face with the
almost ruinous prices established
by the monopolists.
