Republican senators had their first
disagreement over the tariff bill, ON
the floor of the senate, last week, but
it was soon adjusted. 1t was all on
account of misunderstanding con
corning the wool schedule. The
senators from the wool producing
states thought their constituents
were not being treated right when
Senator Allison on behalf of the COM
mittee reported, and the senate
adopted, an amendment reducing
the Dingley rate of II cents ON third
class wool 10 lQcents, and proceeded
to say so right then and there; but
things were made satisfactory to
them when Senator Allison offered
another committee amendment, pro-
viding that secured woods of the
third class, should pay three times
as much duty as unsecured wool Of
the same class, which was at once
adopted by vote Of 20 to 26. "All's
we'll that ends we'll"

for the purpose of comforting with
President Mckinley and Secretary
Sherman and otherwise familiariz-

that he is to play such an important

will start for Spain has not yet been
determined, but he will go just as

The end Of the tariff debate is al
most in sight, and it is believed to be
well-nigh certain that the bill will
be passed by the senate inside of ten
days, notwithstanding some implied
threats of delay which have been
made in certain quarters. The
country is almost unanimous in
wishing the tariff bill put through
rs soon as possible, and the result
will be to break all records, with one
exception, as to the time taken by
the senate TO dispose Of general
tariff bill The exception was the
first tariff BILL which was signed by
George Washington.

THE kIlNE MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JULY J. 1897
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent
wAaHIsGTos. u. c.. June rs. 1897

| wAaHIsGTos. u. c.. June 2s 1897.
Neither President Mckinley, his
cabinet, nor anybody Of prominence
in either branch Of congress expects
any trouble to grow out of the quail
| fled protest OF Japan against the ratl-
fcation Of the treaty for the annexa-
ton of Hawaii. japan has been
given to understand in plain words
that the position Of that country to-
wards the treaty cuts not the slight
| est figure with the president, and that
nothing but the refusal of the senate
will prevent the ratification Of the
treaty. After thus defining the posi-
ton Of this government, Secretary
Sherman took the trouble to point
out to the Japanese minister that the
greater portion of the protest of his
government was against what would
not exist. He told the minister that
the treaty between Japan and Ha-
waii will not be recognized after an
neXation, but that the japanese on
the islands would have ample pro-
lection after annexation in the
treaty between Japan and the {. s.,
which goes into effect in 1899, and
which allows japanese to become
citizens OF the T. :. About the only
answer Japan can make will be that
her citizens in Hawaii viii have no
treaty rights between the date of an
neXation and the date upon which
the new treaty takes effect, but that
answer will not be effective, because
it is an objection easily met and
remedicd by diplomatic negotiation.

A Husband Returns to His Family Afer
a Separation Of Eleven Years.
Shelbyville, Ind, Dec. 29.-Eleven
years ago John Grim went to his home
in Flat Rock from the village store
and informed his wife that he had
made an effort to secure something for
their three children for Christmas, but
not having the money the merchant re-
fused and the little ones would have to
do without any presents. His wife
told him not to grieve, saying she had
few trinkets laid away for the chill
dren, and that they could get along
until the saw mill started up. About
midnight the husband kissed his wife
as she slept He also wrote note ask
ing his wife not to worry and to await
his return. Nothing was heard of him
until last night, when a well-dressed
man walked into the store at Flat
Rock. 1t was John Grim He asked
the direction to Mary Crim's residence.
A boy Of IL years stepped forward with
the remark that he would show him to
his mothers house. Grim recognized
his child and clasped him to his breast
and almost carried him to the house.
Grim had been in British Columbia
for ten years engaged in mining and
had amassed . fortune. The reunion
of the family was happy one.

Downing, Hopkins = Co.'S Review Of
Trade.

Downing, Hopkins = Co.'S Review Of
Trade.
The wheat market has settled down
into one of q holiday character. and
sentiment which frequently dominates
prices is largely bearish. Most OF the
pit traders have become convinced that
every time the price for May gets
above SOC it is safe sale for scalp.
and when it breaks below that figure
it is purchase for 1ac to 10 advance.
The inability of the bulls to main
tain the advantage with the news gen.
orally in their favor has made traders
rather skeptlcal as to the prospects of a
material advance before the close of
the year, and there has been general
taking Of profits by small holders,
while few of the large ones have
either been ont of the market entirely
or are trading in small lines. The
market is without leaders on either
side, and the trade is drifting with the
idea that there can be no permanent
good in the market until after the
holidays. The Argentine situation is
as much Of puzzle as ever. Supplies
in this country are decreasing. and the
flour tarde is irregular.
The Northwestern mills report a
large Western demand. and Pillsbury
announces that they will grind on an
average of 10000 barrels per day for
some time.
The market is in position where
buying is more essential to steady
prices than an abundance Of bull news.
The trade has tired of the combined
rehash of the reports about small re-
ceipts, the probable scarcity of supplies,
the dependence of European countries
upon America, and the continued talk
about wheat going to 81. Something
new is necessary to stimulate trade.
The situation is all right, but more
speculation is necessary. The short
interest, although the largest in sixty
days, is easily scared, and an advance
of few cents drives most Of them in.
The bulls on the whole have also grown
more timid. and decline Of 10 shakes
out those who buy whenever the mar
ket gets strong. At present there is
little in the market except scalp.

Persisted TO A MAN.
Brave Party Of Texans Fighting foI

Brave Party Of Texans Fighting for
Cuba KILLED in . Hot Fight.
New York, Dec. ga special to
the World from Key West, says:
The Lone Star company, OF the Pa.
triot Army of West Cuba, consisting
Of fifteen Texas sharpshooters, persisted
to a man after battling more than i've
hours against vastly superior Spanish
forces in Pinar del Rio province, kill.
ing double their own number and
wounding probably as many more.
Havana officials are jubilant, passen-
gers say, over the news of this victory.
A Cuban band was observed near
Pinar del Rio city Thursday morning,
and General Melquiz sent two squads
of cavalry to attack it. After run
ming fight, the band, which proved to
be composed of the fifteen Texans, was
chased into bottle" bit Of hum
mock having one opening. The Texans.
seeing they were in hole, retreated to
the further end and fortified them
selves behind some boulders. The
Spanish troopers dismounted and sur
rounded them. pouring in a fire from
both sides. The brave Texans replied
and kept up the fight more than five
hours By that time, six Of the fifteen
had been killed and four wounded,
while twenty-five Spaniards had bit
the dust and ten or more were wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and the Texans were called
on to surrender, but the Americans re-
fused, shouting, eve remember Ma
Geo."
This Infatuated the Spaniards, and
they fought with renewed fierceness.
Twice they charged, but the rapid FIR
ing of the brave little band drove them
back. By getting on high ridge be-
hind the Texans position, the Span
iards were enabled to kill all but two
of those left. Those two CALAMITY con-
tinued to fight and held off the enemy
an hour longer. Then, overcome by
thirst and enfeebled by loss of blood,
flowing from a dozen wounds, they
were cut to pieces by the Spanish, who
finally dashed up as the Texans cried,
give Cuba libre.''

Yawnin9 for Exercise.

Children used to be taught that
yawning was q breach of good beha-
vior; but now, II certain medical testi-
mony may be credited, it Is incum-
bent upon parents to see that the
youthful members of their lock not
only yawn when nature SO disposes
them, but even practice what may be
called the art Of yawning. According
to the results Of late investigations,
yawning 10 the most natural form Of
respiratory exercise, bringing into ac-
ton all the respiratory muscles Of the
chest and neck.
It Is recommended that every one
should have good yawn, with stretch
ing Of the limbs, morning and even
Ing, for the purpose Of ventilating the
lungs and strengthening the muscles
Of respiration. An eminent authority
asserts that this form of gymnastics
has 4 REMARKABLE, effect in relieving
throat and ear complaints.
This being the case, the revival OF an
old English pastime, INDUCED in as
a kind Of Christmas gambol In the early
part Of the eighteenth century, might
not be out of place. The game was a
yawning match, and was played for a
prize, which IN one instance on record
consisted of Cheshire cheese.
The sport began about midnight,
when the members of the company
were disposed to be drowsy, and yawn-
ing was not altogether forced act. He
who yawned the widest, and at the
same time In the most natural manner,
50 as to produce the greatest number
Of sympathetic yawns from the specta-
tors, was the winner Of the cheese.
