New York, May 6.-Ex-Gov. Fl. G.
Warmoth, of Louisiana, who owns /
sugar cane plantation, criticised the,
tariff bill as reported by the Senate at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. He.
said in part:
1.-The sugar schedule now is SO badly
mixed, SO complicated, that to my sim
pei farmer mind it is all a riddle.
When the bill was reported in the.
House understood it, because it was.
clear and protected sugar. The Sena-
tors have made it hazy and most per-
picking. In order to understand Just
what it means, / will go to Washington.
to-day, employ an expert on tariff
questions, especially as it relates to.
sugar, and see whether he can unrayek
the tangle. We have sugar tariff ex-
perts at the capital, and I hope one of
them will penetrate the mystery
one OF the most valuable publications.
OF the day for the farmer and small
gardener, whether for pleasure or profit
is American Gardening. See the. adj
yertisement elsewhere and try it a year.

ming to bloom. The Thiergarten is at
the stage which is never surpassed for
beauty later on, because the leaves have
only half their future size, and in color
are as freshly green as early meadows.
And the houses fronting on the Thier-
garten, as wellyas on the principal streets,
vie with each other in stands, beds, and
trees of flowers. Among the trees the
magnolias are the favorites; among the
shrubs azaleas. But, naturally, the
most popular flower of all is the rose, as
if in compliment to the nightingales
which make the copses of the Thiergarten
resound late in the afternoon and early
in the morning. If that small bird is
anxious to clean its breast against a
thorn" the Berliners have done all they
could to satisfy its desire.
