The Harbor Bill Veto Received Ia the
House

and VIII Come Up for Considera.
ton on Tuesday
Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The senate
reached an agreement today to take
final vote on the bill to prohibit the issue
of bonds on Tuesday next before ad-
journment, Mr.. Hill reserving the right
to move to postpone the vote.
Two bills repeating the law relating
to rebates on alcohol used in the arts
and amending the law concerning the
distilling of brandy from fruits were
passed. The latter authorized the eX-
emption of distillers of brandy made
from fruits from the provisions relating
to the manufacture of spirits, except as
to the tax thereon.
The senate adjourned until Monday.
IN THE HOUSE
The house spent almost the entire day
debating the Johnston Stokes contested
election case from the Second South
Carolina district.
The river and harbor bill veto was
read and referred without debate to the
committee. Mr.. Hermann stated that
action on the motion to pass the bill over
the veto would probably be taken on
Tuesday. The naval appropriation bill
was again sent to conference, the two
houses disagreeing on the number of
battleships and the senate amendment
limiting the cost of armor plato to $3.50
per ton.
After the night session. devoted to
pension bills, the house adjourned until
Monday.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The Repub-
lican senatrs in caucus today decided
upon the order in which bills on the cal
endar will be taken up. There was a
general understanding that nothing
should interfere with the consideration
of conference reports on the appropira
ton bills and no obstacle be placed in
the way of reaching vote on the But
Ter bond bill. The other bills are to be
taken up and disposed of in the follow
ing order: The filled cheese, alcohol in
arts, fruit. brandy, immigration, five
per cent land bill, labor commission,
election of senators by the people, bank
ruptcy, contempt Of court in the Indian
Territory, reorganization of the North
ern Pacific Railroad company, Alabama
election, investigation of the animal in
dustry in New Hampshire, war claims
The prevailing opinion in the caucus
was that 1T would be impossible to dis
pose of more than the first three meas
ures. A motion to have the Pacific rail-
road refunding bill placed fourth on the
list, ahead of the immigration bill, was
defeated and a definite decision reached
not to attempt to take up this bill until
the next session.
On motion of Senator Nelson the eau
Gus decided not to accept any amend
ments to the filled cheese bill.

Christian Jensen. a German formerly

others in plenty whom he has done out
of various sums which he failed to re-

Along in last March Jensen was intro

man who claimed to be subject OF the
Fatherland, and also that he was an or
dained priest of the Catholic church.
He had full regalia and talked of his
former parishes and discussed theology
in such fascinating manner that Jen-

to have come from Mexico and his card
bore the following: Rev. C. A. Berger.

sense,ess cIamor for Word From Cleveland

The Courier journal joins the group
of newspapers which, for several months
past, has been calling on Presioeni
Cleveland to announce his intentions re-
garding the presidency. rms ctan'o ~
for the president to state his posltion is
altogether without reason. What Is
there in the situation that demands an
expression from him? Conventions are
being held. delegates are being CHOSEN.
and favorite sons are being poomeu. Not
in a single instance has there been an
instruction for Cleveland. and there
has not been the slightest indication
that he is taking a single step to obtain
the nomination. If the president con.
templated becoming candidate Is II
not clear that his friends would nave
been at work long ago? His administra-
ton has been Endorsed by the SOUND
money states of Pennsylvania, Massa-
husetts, Michigan and Rhode Island,
states in which his friends contro! the
party machinery, but no effort has been
made looking to his nomination in chi
cago With such conditions prevalent
a statement from the White House that
the president is not seeking reelection
would be entirely gratuitous and ridfcu-
lous. 1t is true that hundreds OF thous-
ands of citizens would like for the pres
ident to serve a third term, and It is true
that the country at large would feel safe
with such strong arm at the helm, out
this does no warrant the president in
disavowing an ambition to become
candidate in the total absence OF any
movement to secure him the nomination.
1t may be that matters will take such
shape at st. Louis and Chicago that the
situation will demand the designation
of Mr.. Cleveland to represent the inter-
estS and symbolic the cause OF sound
money, financial sanity, pure politics
and honest government in campaign
for reelection. In such q contingency
attended with an active desire and
definite proposal to put him before the
country in that character and that be-
half, it will then be time enough for him
to speak, but Mr.. Cleveland is not a man
to make a laughing stock of himself by
refusing something which no one Is at
tempting to thrust upon him. The Cour
ier-Journal says: Mr. Cleveland Is not
regarded as a presidential possibility
this year by one Democrat in a thousand,
Administration Democrats are grateful
to him for his determined attitude in
favor of sound money, and are willing
to give him all the praise that is due
him. but knowing that he is serving n
second term they take it for granted
that he will not again be a candidate
Indeed. they go further than this ana
assume that he has not the remotest
idea OF yielding to any pressure that
may be brought to bear upon him to in
duce him to forego his own incinations
toward private life and to appear again
as candidate" If this is true, then
why the need for Mr.. Cleveland 10
speak? Let the Courier journal see TO
1T that Kentucky sends a stalwart sound
money delegation to Chicago instructed
for Carlisle and the presidents friends
will be satisfied.-Ga News.

LATEST TAX RETURNS.

and were presented to the Legislature
Friday, and, as was to be expected, the
public gain some interesting Informal

from them what nationalities pay taxes
and how many of each are delinquent
We find that the total taxes assessed
were $637, 27O.2O, that $3.50, 1858 were
collected, of which over 100000 had to
pay the ten per cent. penalty, making
1892, 691.92 as the net proceeds of the
Government. Thus no less sum than
Sol ,S74.S2 is delinquent. The total taxes
of Hawaiians and half-castes were as

were collected, and of this over $50, 900
incurred the ten per cent. penalty, or
one-half Of all the penalty paid, while
the delinquent taxes amount to S25,-

delinquency. The taxes for Americans

SUGAR SUPPLIES.

4 writer in the New York Journal OF
Commerce has endeavored to set right
the general misunderstanding among
the buyers of refined sugars as 10 the
seriousness of the loss of the Cuban
sugar crop to the United States. After
collecting data from those best in
formed upon the conditions in various
countries, he has made an estimate for
the future that will be of interest to all
sugar planters, as well as the buyers
of refined sugar. The total stock in the
United States on March 1, at four ports,
is placed at 10000 tons. The require
ments of the United States refneries
from March 1 to October 1 is estimated
at 1,SO5, 1000.
To supply this demand there is Cuban
stock of March 1 amounting to $4,000
tons; Cuban production for export, So,
600 tons; West India crop, 10000 tons;
Brazil, $4,000 tons; Egyptian balance to
come, $4,000 tons; Java still to arrive,
10000 tons; Manila, $4,000 tons, and
Madras and Maritius, 5000 tons, MAX
ing the total of cane sugar likely to be
received on the Eastern coast up to Oc-
tOber /, 4S2, 900 tons. Thus, to meet the
demands of the market, the American
refneries will require 603, 900 from beet
sugar. Allowing los, 900 tons for vari-
alton, the writer estimates that the
smallest amount of beet sugar that will
be required Will be no less than 500, 900.
In making this general review, the
refineries of the West Coast are not
taken into consideration, as they will
be provided by Hawaii and their own
production, and in the 103, 900 tons al
lowed for variation, allowance is made
for the small amount of sugar that may
be received at New York from this
country. No comments are made upon
the situation, the figures being suf-
ficient evidence for the ref1ner to pom
der over. There may be a certain am
cunt of satisfaction in the thought that
what is one mans loss is another's
gain.
