He had always voted. he said, for

state. so long as those interests did not
conflict with the interests OF other To-

Mr. Lindsay. OF Kentucky, then took
the floor in seaport OF his amendment
TO strike out the differentlal on refined
sugar. and place all sugars on an equality
While he realized that It was hopeless
10 try TO reduce the duty on sugar. Mr..
Lindsay said he was not without hope
that the Senate would withdraw this pro-
posed protection 10 the trust which
dominated the market. and attempted 10
control the politics OF the country. The
trust did not need and should not have
assistance. This schedule would, he said,
tax the people S10200.000
THE TRUSTS ADVANTAGES.
Mr. Lindsay argued that the trust had
concealed advantages in every schedule,
which its opponents could not point out.
Every doubt. he declared, should be re-
testimony Of President Havemeyer. in
which he stated that the great trust
controlled the price of sugar.
THAT Is the kind of candor," said Mr..
Lindsay. when ne had concluded the read
ing. which commands a certain kind Of
admiration, outrageous as may be the
audacious avowels of him who makes
them"
IF we mean business" interposed Mr..

courts 10 protect the people from the
avarice of this corporation. But because
the courts have failed to do their duty,
II is not for the legislative department

reference from the Secretary Of State,
a communication from the Spanish Minis
ter. to the effect that he has been in
formed that q fiiibustering expedition is
being organized Off the coast OF Florida,

all collectors and masters of the patrol
fleet on the Florida coast. with instruc-
tons to be on the alert TO prevent the
departure of any suspected expeditions
This was done to-day by telegraph.
1t developed later that the department
has specific information of the shipment
Of arms and munitions for what promises
TO be one Of the most important fiibuster-
ing expeditions for several months. y
carload Of arms left Jacksonville yester-
day morning by the Florida East Coast
railroad. and passed near Smyrna last
evening. south-bound. a second carload
of rifles and dynamite left Jacksonville
Yesterday morning on the regular freight
train Cor the probable purpose OF being
transferred TO some vessel on the east
coast. possibly the yacht Nolusia, which
has been engaged TO transfer these NUM-

TARIFF COMMISSION.

Congressman Charles y. Fowler, of New
Jersey Republican,, speaking of tariff
legislation, talks Interestingly, as follows:
Every one now realizes, / think that
the American people of all sections, of
al parties, of every calling, and of all
classes, ar tired and heartily sick of
tariff tinkering and the consequent dis
turbance, If not actual destruction Of all
lines Of business. What they need and
most earnestly desire is an opportunity
TO engage in business with assurance
that there will be no such radical changes
as will destroy, or even cripple, any de-
partment of trade or commerce.
ANY tariff measure that will produce
sufficient revenue 10 support the govern
ment under present conditions will, with
the natural increase of population and
the greater consumption incident TO pros
perity, bring US in few years hun
dred millions more revenue than will be
required to meet expenses. II should not
be taken from the people. 1t would ma
turaly lead to national extravaganza.
How, then, shall We adjust our reve-
nues TO our actual needs? Shall It be
by overhauling the whole subject again
every schedule, down TO the very last
item? Certainly. business prudence
would require that our taxes be lowered
gradually, and removed from such arti-
cles as an intelligent and skilled COM
mission would recommend. The changes
should be so made as TO result in an
evolution, and not in a revolution.
"The taxes should be abated from year
to year, and taken from one schedule at
a time. Hence, the President, who is
responsible for the proper administra-
ton Of the government, with the recon-
q h., sa~fff e.,, nfeat1 -

of the taxes, and the country not be com
PEELED to wait until the Executive. the
House Of Representatives. and the Senate
were in political conjunction, which might
not happen for several years. They
were not in conjunction from 1875 until
1889.

WASHINGTON, June l2-Senator Aid
rich left the city to-day by order OF his
physician. he has been confined TO his
room at the Arlington almost all the
time since the first week of the tariff
debate. with an aggravated attack of in
digestion and dysentery. He was able

WASHINGTON, d. c., June l2.-(Spe-
OF coal production in the United States
in 1896. which has just been completed
by Statistlcian L. w. Parker, Of the
United States Geological Survey, shows
that the product in 1896 was 19O.6Ss,s09
short tons. valued at 1856, 557, 6i9, against
1s3. III $50 short tons, valued at Sl9I,1ss,OB
in 1885, a decrease of 2,477.51 short tons
in amount and of $2,2n, 1874 in value. The
decrease in product was entirely in that
of Pennsylvania anthracite. The output
Of bituminous coal shows an increase
of about 175O,O00 tons. The anthracite
product Of Pennsylvania decreased near
ly 4,250, 900 tons. 1t is a notable feature,
however, that there was a decrease In
the value OF the bitumnous product OF
over S1,6c0,0O0, notwithstanding the in
creased output. and that there was
comparative increase in the value of
anthracite; although. on account Of the
smaller production, it did not equal the
value i'm 1895. The average price OBJ
tanned for anthracite at the mines in
creased from $1A in 1895 70 S1.5l in 1896.
The average price for bituminous de-
clined from Sc to 50 cents.
Among the important bituminous coal
probe States. Pennsylvania. OF
course, stands first, with an output Of
nearly 100000 tons. Illinois is an easy
second. with nearly 2COO0,O0o tons. or
more than rs per cent. Of the combined
product Of West Virginia and Ohio,
which come third and fourth respective
~. The race between Ohio and West
Virginia was very close In 1896, there be-
ing but a thousand tons difference. and
the output of each nearly 1900 900 tons.
These four States yield about 20 per
cent. of the total bituminous production.
Pennsyivania's bituminous product was
a little more than million tons less
than i'm 1898. Ohio lost $4,000 tons West
Virginia increased her output about LOO
600 tons, and Illinois about 100000 tons.
The other important States showing IN
creased production were Alabama, Ar
kansas, Colorado, Indian Territory, Ken
lucky, Maryland, and Texas; while In
diana, Iowa. Kansas. Missouri, Montana,
New Mexico, Tennessee. Utah. Virginia,
Washington, and Wyoming showed de-
creased production. West Virginia had
the most important increase among the
Appalachian States. and Illinois in the
Middle West, while Colorado was the
only State in the Rocky Mountain Re
gion whose production increased.
The production by States is shown In
