N[N7UGBOAT FORHARBOR
JOHN ID. SPRECKELS MAY SEND
ONE FROM FRISCO.
He Must Obtain License from the
Government-lnterior Department
Figuring on Cost of New Boat.

When the Mariposa left San Fran
cisco it was rumored that j. ID. Spreck
els would send one of his powerful tug
boats to Honolulu, if he could make
satisfactory arrangements with the
Government. The idea was prompted
by captains of the deep water ships,
who visit this port annually. The
masters are of the opinion that the
Eleu has seen her best days and new
and more powerful tug is required to
handle the increased shipping at this
port.
The services of such powerful ma
chine would be appreciated by ship
masters, but it is feared that the COM
ing of the tug will mean such an ele-
vation in the tow boat charges that
the shipowners will find ready cause
for complaint.
There is considerable doubt wlrcth-
er the Government would issue lie
ense to- a Sprcckels tow boat. The
scale of prices now in force has been
fixed by the Government, and is con-
sidered reasonable: but at the same
time the old tug Eleu has not man
aged to make any moneg. I'm the last
two years the Government has made
only about StSG above actual running
expenses. Os course this is very sat
isfactory to TIE Government, which is
not seeking to make money out OF the
business. but IL would not satisfy a
tow boat owner who is accustomed TO
sugar stock div6aends In the way of
profits.
At the same time everybody in the
shipping business recogn ICES the cry
need of 30 new and powerful tug boat
in this ,Iarbor. The Eleu is about
worn out and canRet be relied on in
A tight place. The harIJor at San
Francisco is overstocIled with tow
boats, and could spare one very easily
that could handle the shipping in this
harbor. But should a private concern
be given license to do the towing in
this harbor, there is no. doubt tfiati the
standard of towage charges would be
raised very materially.
While the idea of permitting the
Spreckels' to get grip upon the tow
age business in this harbur is laughed
at by the wise men along the water
front, there is no doubt but thaI' the
some steps toward securing new tug.
1t is probable that two plans witl be
submitted. one to build and equip a
powerful tow boat, such as used in the
San Francisco harbor, and the other
to give Spreckels a license to operate
one of his tugs here, at u reasonable
scale of prices. 1t is understood that
Minister King has been figuring on
the new tow boat and has found that
it will be a costly affair. The scheme
to license a Spreckels boat appears to
be looked upon with more favor at the
present time.

TdngI6S Of the Tariff
Solved in Number of Cases by the Committee
No Action Reciprocity

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-There was
a large gathering of Republican sena-
tors at the meeting Of the senate
finance committee at the Arlington no
tel tonight Most of the time was
spent in discussing the rates to be i'm
posed on coal and the proposition to
fix them so that a reciprocal arrange
ment may be arrived at with the Do
minion of Canada. No formal conclu-
sion was arrived at, the committee de-
ferring final action until the meeting
tomorrow morning. Strong arguments
were advanced by some of those pres
ent in favor of a rate Of 40 cents per
ton on coal, the statement being made
that the Western coal fields could find
a market in Canada for an additional
100000 tons per year, this statement
being based on reports that the new
Liberal ministry Of theDominion would
reduce the duty on imports of Ameri-
can coal to a smaller amount and enter
into reciprocal arrangements with the
United States. After the meeting one
the opinion that the rate to be finally
fixed would be 671a cents per ton, but
that there would be no provision for
reciprocal agreement.
The general subject of reciprocity
came up for discussion by the Repub-
lican members of the committee after
the visitors had departed.

ate committee on judiciary will meet

committee is striving to secure a form
that would be acceptable to all Re-
publican senators and that will also
stand the test of the courts.
The senate committee on finance at
meeting this morning settled several
EeXed questions in connection with the
tarlft. The tea paragraph was again
passed over for future consideration.
ana the decision was reserved until
AFTER nearing to be given to the con-
flcting interests. The committee de-
cided to advance the rate on pig lead
TO IA cents per pound. This is an in
crease OF 2c over the house rate,
which the committee did not originally
disturb, and was made as compensation
Tor the increase on lead ore.
The committee ended a long dispute
by deciding to take all fast coal black
tar dyes from the free list, adding
them to paragraph IA, which imposes
duty Of rs per cent. 1t is estimated
that this change will add several hun
dred thousand dollars of revenue.
similar gain is expected to be derived
from striking coal tar from the free
list and making it dutiable at 10 per
cent.

BERLIN, June 28.-As the health Of
Baron Marschall Won BieberStein is in

There was recently organized a state

second place on the state ticket will
go to any Republican who may have
voted for Bryan and Sewall.
There Is some opposition to Daniel
McConnville as chairman of the state

The convention is almost unit for

that issue. An effort is being made
to have nothing else in the platform,

Animated Ante-Convention Fight Being Waged Co

COLUMBUS, O., June 28.-With the
unusually large number of candidates
and their workers here tonight, the
anti-convention contests were very ami
mated. The field has concentrated
against r. T. Hough as the favorite
for governor, and will light him to a
decisive ballot. There were many re-
ports circulated against him tonight.
The Press Post, the central Democratic
organ, in an editorial, questioned his
orthodoxy on the silver question, and
the Dispatch, an Independent paper,
reproduced articles from the Hillsboro
Gazette, in which Judge Hough is in
tereSted and of which his brother is
an original silver man. Other similar
charges come from different sources.
With the bitter fight made on Hough
today there has been considerable rise
in the booms of other candidates, no.

JUIu Wheat Wild in It's HntjCS.
The Fry by Those Interested in
Running al Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 2S-What next in
the July wheat deal? This was the
question the board of trade men were
addressing to each other at the close
of today's session. 1t began with a
decline of cents per bushe1, and left
eff rs cents below the price it closed
Saturday. Considering the violence of
the fluctuations, the amount Of wheat
that changed hands was small. The
manipulated character of the present
trading in July wheat was forced upon
the most obtuse understanding by the
violence Of its antics during the first
half hour of the session. The price of
next months delivery, which at the
close Saturday was 723s@h cents, was
quoted at the opening today all the
way from 72 to 711h cents. In five
minutes thereafter it had fallen to
691A cents, and at the expiration of
the first hour it was UP again to Y
for an instant Ordinarily such violent
and rapid fluctuations would be to the
accompaniment of an immense bust
ness, but on this occasion the quantity
that changed hands was by no means
heavy, and strangely out of proportion
with the noise over 1t in the pit, but
no one would buy, and not until 6919
cents had been quoted did any support
materialze AS to whether the break
marked the collapse of the alleged cor
ner, opinions differed, good many
holding to the belief which was
strengthened by the fact that little
or no wheat was offered by those who
are supposed to be interested in the
deal, that it was nothing but a shak-
Ing up Of the small fry. FsAt any rate it
had that effect. SepteIhber wheat did
not participate to any great extent in
the opening weakness CT July. 1t was
wanted at the opening at about quar-
ter-cent advance, 66h to 66A cents,

clined to 655s@A cents. when July was

green hides averaged about ten cents

hides about five cents.
Mr.. Vest (Mo.) reviewed the legis-
lation on leather and hides and pre-
sented letter written by James G.

ing against duty on hides as slap

and as likely to legislate the Repub-
hcan party out of power. The senator
argued that a duty on hides could not
advance the price of cattle In the West,
as hides were only a bi-product of the
cattle, and moreover, the price of cattle
was fixed absolutely, with the power
to put the price up or down, by the
big four combination at Chicago. The
senator recalled the circumstances OF
the senatorial inquiry into the beef
trust, in which he participated. When
Mr.. vest spoke of oppressive action
by Mr.. Armour to compel butchers to
use his dressed beef, Mr.. Allen (Neb)
remarked that the evidence seemed
sufficient for an indictment, and why,
then, was not something done toward
prosecution?
TURN AT TRUSTS.
This developed a warm controversy

which at times became rather personal.
Mr.. Hoar stated that he thought it
hkely an amendment relating to trusts
would be offered in connection with
the present bill, tending to perfect the
provisions on that subject in the tariff
bill of 1894 and declaring that such pro-
visions are not repealed by this bill.
Such an amendment had been prepared
by Mr.. Pettus Ala.) and Mr.. Hoar
said he expected to vote for it when
it came up.

that the authorities have not executed

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The senate
today, disposing of the paragraphs re-
lating to hides, which have been the
source Of much controversy. AS finally
agreed on, the duty on hides is placed
at ~ per cent ad Valorem, in place Of
~ cents per pound, as originally re-
ported by the finance committee. The
discussion was protracted, drifting into
a general debate on trusts, and from
that back to the sugar trust. Mr..
Smith On. j. spoke at length against
the duty on hides, while Mr.. Allen
Neb) supported the duty. The new
paragraph was agreed to 1920, one
Democrat, Rawlins, Otah) and several
Populists and Silver Republicans vot-

The incidental debate on trusts led
to severe arraignment of the sugar
trust by Messrs. Caffery and Lindsay
and genaral discussion of means to
deal with trusts, by Mr.. Hoar Among
other paragraphs disposed of during
the day were all those relating to
gloves, a substitute for the paragraph
on live animals, iron ore and stained
glass windows.
On the iron ore paragraph, taken up
early in the day, the pending provision
gave a duty Of 40 cents per ton on
iron ore, including manganiferous iron
ore and the dross or residum from
burnt pyrites, with a proviso relating
to the account to be taken of moisture
In weighing the ore. Mr.. Allison
offered new amendments, which were
agreed to, adding to the first clause of
the paragraph, as reported, "mangan-

from q to u cent in addition to the
rate for steel saw plates.
AT Mr.. Quay's request the change
was reconsidered and 1 cent restored
as the duty on iron bars, etc, in addi-
ton to the rates on plates, etc.
When lead, lead bearing ores, ETC.,
was reached Mr.. Allison said it was
proposed to change the paragraph on
lead dross, bullion, ETC., from to "a
cents. The paragraph went over at
Mr. Allison's request.
DUTY ON HIDES.
Mr.. Allison proposed a change in
paragraph 1851, relating to hides,
making the rate 20 per cent ad valorem
instead of ~ cents per pound; and
also striking out the proviso relating
to drawbacks. The paragraph as
amended reads: Hides of cattle. raw
or uncured, whether dry, sailed or
picked, 20 per cent ad valorem."
Mr.. Smith stated, in response to
questions, that the proposed 20 per cent
ad valorem was much greater than the
tx cents specific duty, being about 4
cents per pound by the ad valorem rate.
Mr.. Platt Comm interposed the sug-
gestton that he had telepraphed to the

to the importation Of hides, and had
received an answer stating that the i'm
