TARIFF BILL

Washington, June 22.-Monday the
senate made a giant stride on the
tariff bill, covering Sc pages and max
ing a record for progress during this
tariff debate. The last two schedules
of the dutiable list, covering paper
and manufactured sundries, were COM
pleted with the exception of the para
graphs on hides, gloves, coal, and some
lesser articles which went over. This
advanced the senate to the free
list, which was taken up at p. m.
and completed in three hours. Early
in the day the wool and silk schedules
went over with the agreement that
wool would be taken up today. After
that the tobacco schedule, the reci-
rrCcity provisions and the many iso-
lated paragraphs passed over remain
to be considered. The progress Mon
day was SO marked that for the first
time there is a feeling that the end is
not far off.
There was little debate Monday, the
main topic of discussion being matches
and safety fuse, on the latter item an
amendment by Mr.. Pettigrew, reduc-
ing the rate to 10 per cent. came
within one vote of passing against the

Mother and Daughter From Michigan
En- Route to Minnesota.

Mrs. Ada Hagerty and her eleven
year-old daughter of Holland, Mich,

Mrs Hagerty's husband was killed in
Michigan last year while breaking

offered to pay the widows and daugh-

give them a horse and buggy. They
chose the latter that they might have
a horse and rig when they had reached
their destination, and on May L set out

TARIFF BILL BEING PUSHED
SENATE ABOUT TO WRESTLE,
WITH THAT SCHEDULE,

Washington, June 1S.-Thursday
the senate made greater progress on
the tariff bill than any day since the
debate opened. Two entire schedules
covering twenty pages were completed
namely, the schedules on spirits, wines
and beverages, and the schedule on
manufactured cotton goods. This
brings the senate to the fax schedule
with the important wool schedule
standing next. The portion of the bill
passed Thursday is substantially the
same as that reported, all the commit
tee changes being unimportant, while
the opposition amendments of Messrs.
Jones (Ark) and Vest (Mo) were
Systematically rejected by maiorities
rejected by majorities varying from
to 10. Mr.. Allison (rep., Ia.,) Sc
cured the addition of a new paragraph
to the cotton schedule with a view to
cOmpenSating cotton manufa cturers for
the recent action of the senate in plac-
ing raw cotton on the dutiable list.
The additional paragraph provides
that on all cotton yarns finer than No.
10 single, and good manufactured
thereof, the duty shall be 10 per cent.
in addition to the rates of the cotton
schedule. In executive session the
senate decided to make public the
Hawaiian annexation treaty and as
companying papers.
Some of the democratic members of
the senate committee on fina zee say
that hencefCrth they will interpose no
objection to a rapid disposal of the
tariff bill. The indications now are
that the republicans will withdraw the
internal revenue provisions of the bill.

The commissioners who have charge
of the erection of the new historical
library building met in the capitol
Monday and adopted the revised plans
submitted by Ferry & Clas of Milwau-

KINNEY TO LII.
The True Significance of Annexation
Explained.

Washington, June GOWN. A. Kin
ney, one of the Hawaiian special COM
missioners, in an interview said, in
answer to Queen Liluokalanis protest:
1T is charged in the queens pro-
test that the annexation treaty is an
act of wrong toward the native and part
native people of Hawaii. The annex
alton treaty is not Annexation is the
sole hope of the native Hawaiians
Their future is one of two Things, to
pass under Asiatic or Anglo Saxon con-
troll If the Asiatics dOmina,e, the ma
tives must become coolies. If America
takes Hawaii the natives become Amer
lean citizens and the American scale Of
wages and the honorable position oc-
cupied by labor in America will prevail
in Hawaii There is no power within
Hawaii to withstand the Asiatic tide
1t needs the strong arm of the United
States The fealty of the native
Hawaiians to their queen knows no
limit and they will probably follow her
lead if they have their own way but it
becomes a perfec, caricature for her to
protest against annexation in tie name
of the native people and as a wrong to
them

treaty. it is admitted that the govern
ment represented in the strongest
terms it's expectation that it's treaty
rights in Hawaii shall be fully respect
ed in case of annexation.
