THE TARIFF BILL.-The House yes
terday agreed to the partial conference
report on the general deficiency bill,
and then concurred in the Senate
amendment fixing the limit of cost OF
armor plate for the three battleships
now building at $500 ton. A strong
effort was made to induce the House TO
agree to q substitute proposition fixing
the limit at S400, as recommended by
the Secretary of the Navy, but after a
three hours debate the House, by q
vote of 142 10 40, concurred in the Sen
ate amendment.
There were strong indications last
night that there will be report from
the tariff conferees Monday. This re-
port will probably show an agreement
on all items but the sugar schedule,
and on that there will in all probability
be disagreement. Should this be
done the House will insist upon its rates
and the Senate will promptly recede
from its amendments to that schedule.
This will end memorable struggle.

CONFEDERATE HIsToRY.-At the
meeting in Richmond in October ne1;
of the Grand Camp of Confederate
Veterans it is expected that the cues.
ton of text books and history will BE-
revived. This subject was discussed q,
the last meeting of the camp and ha:
occupied attention at several meeting:
of the conventions of the United Con.
federate Veterans. A special commit.
tee appointed by the grand commando
OF the camp has been at work on TIL:
subject for some time past. The pres.
ent contract for school histories for the
public schools of the State does not eI.
pire until 1898. 1t is possible that a:
that body may not meet again mex.
year, it will take some anticipatory &C.
ton ct the coming meeting in October
The Veterans take strong ground:
against the northern view that at es:,
one of the histories in use in Virgins
schools takes of the late war.

CONSULAR FEES.
Pressure Being Brought to Have
Them Restored.


Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear upon the President to secure a re-
peal of some consular regulations pro-
mulgated by Secretary Olney last October,
which. in effect. largely curtail the big
fees which have been received by some
crsular officers. The order practically
did away with the requirement in all cases
Of an oath to invoices by an exporter
The result was that many consuls who
were in the habit of dividing fat fees with
British commissioners empowered to ad-
minister such oaths lost these returns.
They We're In the eye of the department
Illegal in any sense. for they were not re-
turned in the statements of fees required
to be made to the department by statute,
and there was no warrant for the reten-
tion of any other class of fees. Now the
applicants for the consular places have
discovered that a large percentage of the
returns of their prospective offices have
been cut off by Secretary Olneys order,
and so the places are less desirable. At
one British port the consul last year Sc
cured nearly 5000 in such fees, which he
pocketed. In addition the business OF the
exporters was seriously delayed by the
necessity for appearing In the very linn
tied hours set by the consuls for the re-
ception Of invoices. and altogether the
practice was regarded by Secretary Olney
as improper.
