Debate on the Wool Schedule Causes an
 Exciting Discussion.


 Washington, June 22.-An exciting de- bate marked the consideration of the wool schedule which began in the sen ate to-day. It developed the first open disagreement on the republican side of the chamber and led to a warm per- sonal exchange between Senator Carter of Montana and Foraker of Ohio, on the one hand, and MT. Allison of Iowa. in charge of the bill, on the other. MT. Foraker asserted that an agreement concerning rates on certain wools was being violated and that, under such circumstances, every senator would be free to act for himself.
 MT. Allison, with great vehemence, declared that he could not be driven by threats. MT. Carter, who had aroused the storm endeavored to have the par agraphs relating to carpet wools go over with view to securing some unit ed action, but MT. Vest in an ironical speech objected to delaying the era of prosperity and postponing the public business while republican senators held a caucus.
 Mir Teller of Colorado also spoke against delay and took occasion to say he would not vote for the bill unless objectionable features were eliminated. Aside from this stormy interruption, fair progress was made on the wool schedule. The duty on first class wool was agreed to at 10 cents per pound, and on second class wool II cents, which is between the house and sen ate rates in each case. The scales on third class wools went over Most of the other amendments related to the classi- 1 flcation of wools. On one of the amend ments MT. Jones of Arkansas spoke against the entire schedule as severely oppressive on the consumers of wooden goods

 Best Course.
 Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. June 22.-The first of the series of races for inter- collegiate honors takes place tomorrow afternoon between and o'clock. The day is generally called 'scrappers day. because it marks the freshmen race of two miles, which always is fight from start to finish. Tonight each of the crews is confident of victory and their friends are willing to wager money upon them.
 The contest will be interesting as probably in measure forecasting the result of the big Varsity race. The town has already taken on gala appearance and the afternoon trains have brought in large additions to the colony of rooters who will fill the boats and the observation train. The festive bookmaker Is in town and the fakirs are arriving also. The local police have been reinforced by number of Pinker- ton men and the city will be lively in the morning. an indication of much more liveliness on Friday. The three crews that row tomorrow afternoon vary in weight from an average of III pounds in the Yale boat to 157 pounds in the Cornell boat and there is diff ference of average of IA pounds to a man between the Yale crew and the Cornell, Harvard coming between.
 The representatives of Yale, Harvard and Cornell held a protracted meeting this afternoon to decide upon rules and other preliminaries as well as to choose courses for to-morrow's race. In this ceremony the proverbial Yale luck as serted itself. Two sets of slips, one set | bearing the names of the colleges and the other set numbered from 1 to 8 were placed in two hats. First a col lege was drawn and then a number. In this way Cornell got No. 1, which is the course nearest the west shore; Harvard got the next one, No. 2, while Yale got the outer course, No. 3. It has always been claimed for the Poughkeepsie course that there is very | little variation in the tide, whether close in shore or in mid-stream, but if there is any advantage to be had it will belong to Yale, as her course is almost in the middle of the river.
 | It was decided to start the freshman | race tomorrow at o.oU, one nouT ldteI ! than heretofore decided upon, and not | later than 7 D. m., rowing upstream l If it cannot be rowed before that hour it will be postponed to Thursday at D. m, and not later than z D. m. The Varsity race on Friday has been set at 3:30 D. m., downstream. If it can- not be rowed at that hour it is to be rowed upstream not earlier than 6:45 | If 1t cannot be rowed then it goes over 1 until Saturday at 3:30.
 The colleges have selected the follow | ing men to look after their respective interests in the races:
 Harvard, judge, R. c. Lehman; time keeper E. c. Storrow; representa- tive, George s. Mumford; judge at fin 1 ish, c. H. McDufffe.
 Cornell, judge Benjamin Wheeler; l timekeeper, Charles s. Francis; repre-

OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
Cabinet Discusses it, But No Changes De-
 cided Upon.


 Washington, June 22.-The cabinet talked for full two hours to-day, most of the time on questions of foreign pol icy but without deciding upon any par ticular changes in the lines of action already laid down. Hawaiian annex ation was discussed at length and es- pecially the protest filed the other day by the Japanese minister against the pending annexation treaty. The pro- test is given very much weight by the administration for the reason that the estimation of the cabinet it is based upon a misconception of the terms of the treaty and of the results that would follow the substitution of the laws of the United States for the Hawaiian laws and treaties.
 For instance, it was shown that so far as the protest is based upon a fear that the status of the Japanese now in Hawaii would be iniuriously affected, it is not sound for their position after annexation would be precisely smilar to that of Japanese now lying in the United States, who are eligible to citi- zenship Other matters of protest in the opinion of the cabinet, were equally without foundation. One thing that appeared positively was that the ad- minfstration does not now entertain any expectation of getting action upon the treaty at this session of congress, but has determined to arrange for its early consideration next December.
 As for the Cuban talk it appeared that MT. CalhOun's report, though com pleted by him this morning, was not laid before the cabinet, so the discus sion did not cover any new ground.
