A new SCHEDULE
Tariff Bill Reported to the
Senate.
HAWAIIAN PROVISION DROPPED
The Same Old Argument
The Same Old Argument
Was Made.
Treaty One-Sided-An Amendment
May Provide for Hawai-
ian Sugar.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Tariff
Bill was reported to the Senate today
The sugar schedule is as follows:
Sugars not above No. 16, Dutch stan
dard in color; tank bottoms syrups, cane
juice and beet juice, Melada, concentrat-
ed Melada, concrete and concentra ted
molasses tested by polariscope above 81
and not above SS degrees, 20 cent per
pound, and for every additional degree
shown by polariscope test, .02 cent per
pound, and fractions of a degree in pro-
portion. Sugar above No. 16, Dutch
standard in color, and sugar that has
gone through the process of refining,
1.16 cents per pound; and in addition
thereto in all of the foregoing So per
cent ad valorem. Sugar not above No.
49, Dutch standard in color; tank bot
toms syrups, cane juice and beet juice,
Melada, concentrated Melada concrete
and concentrated molasses testing by
polariscope not more than 81 degrees, rs
per cent ad valorem. Molasses testing
above 40 and not more than So degrees, 4
cents gallon; molasses testing 50 de-
grees and not above 40 degrees, s cents
gallon. Machinery purchased abroad,
imported and erected in any beet sugar
factory and actually used in the pro-
OuCllOn Oh sugar IN the united states
from beets produced therein within two
years from the first day of July 1897,
shall be admitted free of duty under
such regulations as the Secretary of the
Treasury may prescribe. Maple sugar
and maple syrup, cents a pound. Glu-
cose or grape sugar, 1-2 cents per
pound. Sugarcane in natural state or
manufactured, 10 per cent ad vaIorem.
Saccharine, 81 a pound and 10 per cent
ad valorem. Sugar candy and all con-
fectionery valued at 10 cents per pound
or less, 4 cents per pound and 15 per
cent ad valorem.
The provision emphasizing that moth
ing in the bill shall be regarded as alb
rogating the Hawaiian treaty is stricken
out. This practically abrogates the
treaty. This was done the argument
that all the United States gets in ex-
change for Pearl Harbor is a small
amount of duties that will be collected
on sugar, which is not regarded as a fair
exchange.
The effect of the action of the Finance
Committee of the Senate in throwing
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty has been a
subject of some comment. One member
of the committee said that it is the in
tention of the committee to deal with
the matter hereafter. The effect of the
bill as 1T stands he said, would no doubt
be to impose a duty on Hawaiian sugar.
Some amendment to regulate this will
be prepared, but just what form it will
take has not been determined.

DIFFERENT OPINIONS.
Treaty Is Opposed But Has Many
Supporters.

supporters.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The feature
of the new Tariff Bill, which is perhaps
discussed more than any other is the pro-
posed abrogation of the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii, by which sugar
from these Islands is brought into the
United States free of duty in return for
similar privilege allowed for certain
products and manufactured articles of
this country. Both the supporters and
opponents of this treaty have active
friends at Washington City. One con-
tingent asserts that the treaty is simply
making present of SO many million dol
lars a year to the Sugar Trust, while
the other is equally as emphatic in as
serting that its abrogation is desired by
the Trust for the reason that 1t has se-
cured control of the beet sugar business
of this country. Senator Nelson, who in
troduced the amendment to the Tariff
Bill in the Senate for the abrogation of
the treaty, declines to discuss the sub
ject for publication in advance of the
time when it will be debated on the floor
1t is assumed however that he will
take the ground that the United States
is not receiving equivalent for the
free admission of sugar into this coun-
try from the Hawaiian Islands MEM
Der of the Senate, who lis still on the
fence SO far this feature of the Tar
ff Bill is concerned, has been making
some Investigations and has concluded
that from a purely revenue standpoint
the United States is getting the worst
of this treaty.
The question is engaging the attention
of financial and tariff experts and the
members of the Senate are endeavoring
to get all the facts obtainable upon the
subject, so that 1T can be fully debated
when it comes up in the Senate. Senator
Nelson will urge his amendment, it is
understood, simply upon the ground that
the treaty causes a loss of revenue to the
United States for which no proportionate
benefit is received

and that Senator Sherman for some rea-
son best known TO himself, is opposed
not only TO the annexation of the ISL
ands, but also 10 a protectorate. and
seems to prefer that the existing situa-
ton in Hawaii be continued The rea-
sons of the aged Secretary of State i'm
the event that this view of the case Is
correct. cannot be ascertained. As chair
man of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, ii was always believed that
Mr.. sherman, at all times. favored n
vigorous foreign policy on the part of
this Government, and was even partial
to the proposition for the annexation of
Cuba we'll as Hawaii.
Recently, however, IL has been hard
matter for anybody to follow Mr.. Sher-
man, either in dealing with foreign af-
fairs or anything else of Importance to
this country. Now that man has been
named as his assistant in the State De-
partment who is considered an aggres-
sive as well as judicious diplomat there
is a possibility that President. Mckinley
may again arrive at the conclusion that
it would be proper for him to announce
in a message to Congress at the begin
vors, and believes that 1T would be for
as Hawaii, the annexation of the ISL
ands, and should he do this. it seems
certain that his course would be sup
ported by Congress.
1t is probably true that the present
Chief Executive has made all arrange
mentS to prevent any Japanese invasion
of Hawaii, and 1t is for this reason that
the Philadelphia is now stationed at Ho-
.nolulu.

SHERMAN,S ATTITUDE.
secretary Believed to Oppose An
neXatiOn.


WASHINGTON, May 3-Public men in
Washington who are, and have been,
deeply interested in the future of Ha-
waii, have about arrived at the conclu-
sion that it will not became a part of
the United States while this administra-
tiOn is in power. Notwithstanding the
fact that a clause in the Republican
tional platform, adopted at the st. Louis
Convention, substantially provided for
the annexation of the Islands, and fur
ther that even after his induction into
office, President Mckinley led many to
believe that he favored immediate action.
looking toward annexation, recent devel-
opments have led many to believe that
unless Japan should in some way inter-
fere with affairs in Hawaii, thereby jeop-
ardizing American interests, nothing will
be done by this administration TO further
the plans of the annexationists, either
in this country or in Hawaii.
Just what has brought about change
of program on the part of the President
is something of mystery to all inter
ested parties now in Washington. The
idea is still prevalent that President Nc
Kinley, both before and after his in
auguration believed that it would be
not only carrying out the instructions
of the convention which nominated him,
but would be to the best interests also
of this country and Hawaii to have the
Islands annexed to the United States.
The representatives of the Dole Cow
ernment now at Washington, and there
are many prominent ones here at this
time, are unable to get any informa ton
wha tever respecting annexation. They
cannot even discover that the President
and his advisers, if they have decided
against annexation, favor the establish
ment of a protectorate. There is only
one intimation regarding the president s
change of mind in respect to annexation,

BY PRESS OF HONOLULU
Gala Night Spent at Ha.

Chief SCHNEIDER Distinguished Him

and Good Music.

The press dinner at the Hawaiian
in every way and Chef SCHNEIDER did
himself proud. The dining room was
decorated with Hawaiian, japanese,
American, Danish, Portuguese, British
and Chinese flags artistically draped on
the walls. The table was set in the
double T shape in the room facing the
Hotel street veranda, and was a poem
of lovelineSS. At one end was a Jap
anese flag three feet long, made in
white asters and red carnations, the
edge faced with maiden-hair ferns. At
the other end was an Hawaiian flag
the same dimensions and made of red
carnations and white and blue asters.
Back of these emblems we're large
punches of red and white carnations.
An inside border for the tables was
made of maile. The floral pieces were
of equisite designs and were much ad-
mired by the visitors. They were made
by H. ]. RhoadS whose flower beds are
at the old mission house, opposite Ka-
waiahao Seminary
Theodore Hoffman of the Hawaiian
Electric Company, looked after the
electric lights, and through the kind
ness of Archie Gilfillan, Master of Ha-
waiian Lodge, No. 81, A. F. e A M,
the handsome electric chandelier and
fan used in the lodge room was Sc
cured and hung in the center of the
room. At either end a six-lamp bunch
light was hung. With the brilliant
lights, the handsome flag and floral
decorations, added, to which was the
beautiful table setting, nothing was
left for the eyes of hosts or guests to
wish for, and Chef SCHNEIDER and Man
ager Levey, of the Hawaiian, looked

testify from experiences; those who
were not, may form an opinion from

The ehainless bicycle is to be sprung
on the cycling world in 1898 In fact
the chainless wheel is already ON ex-
mhition. 4 month or two ago it was
quietly given ont that one of the lead
ing wheel manufacturers had perfected
n chainless wheel, and il was then un-
derstood that only one make of wheel
would be offered Now, however, it is
announced that Mt least n dozen makers
Will put chainless wheels ON the market
and that the price will be $50 instead
Sle5, as was originally announced. 1t
Is doubtful if the chainless wheel
will prove n success. Ii differs from
the ordinary hicyle in having hevel
gear to the front sprocket wheel which
drives n small shaft connected with the
rear sprocket wheel by another hevel
gearing. The shaft runs in part of
the frame, so that the whole device is
neater than the chain and more easily
kept clean. But the great difficulty
will come in the wear of the sprockets
and the hreakage by reason of the
strain. No mechanical engineer adopts
hevel gearing where direct motion is
practicable There is friction loss of
power, much wear and greater chances
of hreakage The most prominent
maker of the wheel candidly says that
it will not supplant the wheels with
chains Elizabeth journal.
