viding For Annexation of Hawaii.
Said the Measure Was Necessity.
Some Nominations Confirmed.

Washington, June 24.-After a long
contest the senate has completed the
paragraph of the wool schedule relat-
ing to raw wool and advanced into the
features relating to manufactured
wooden goods. The day was devoted
largely TO a discussion of the effect of
tariff rates in the price Of wool, and
the speeches were on technical lines in
the main.
At one point Mr.. Hoar diverted the
discussion by a reference to William J.
Bryan's opposition to the tariff. This
brought Senators Mantle, Allen and
Stewart TO the defense Of Mr.. Bryan
Mr. Teller was drawn into the con-
troversy and in a few incisive remarks
warned his former Republican asso-
ciates that their hopes of prosperity
from this bill would be blasted.
Mr.. Quay made a strong effort to
have the house ad valorem rates on
third class wool adopted but he was
defeated-19 to IL. The committee rates
were then agreed to-viz., cents per
pound on third class wool valued at 10
cents or less per pound and cents per
pound on third class wool valued above
10 cents per pound. The schedule was
completed up to paragraph 364, relating
to cloths, knit fabrics, etc.
Early in the day Mr.. Allen (Pop) Of
Nebraska, rising to a question of per-
sonal privilege, made a sweeping denial
of the published charges that william
]. Bryan had contributed S1,50O to the
Popullst cause in order to effect fusion.
