No Pension for Lii.

Washington, June 17.-One point of
importance in which the Hawaiian
treaty differs from the convention nego-
tiated by Secretary Foster in President
Harrison's administration is the omis-
sion of any provision for ex-Queen Lii
uokalani and Princess Kaiulani. In
the original treaty it was provided that
the United States should pay the ex-
queen the sum of $40, 900 cash and the
same amount of money as pension
each year during the remainder of her
life, provided that she in good faith
submitted to the government of the
United States and the local government
of the islands. Princess Kaiulani be-
ing next in line of royal blood was to
have received cash payment of $780,
600, but no pension under similar
proviso as in the case of the ex-queen.
It is understood any objection that
might be expected to the annexation of
the islands based on the large proper
tion of coolies in the population, has
been forestalled by an article not only
prohibiting further immigration of such
laborers to the Hawaiian islands, but
also prohibiting the coming of any
Chinese from the islands to other parts
of the United States.

The Queen Almost Blind.

London, June 18.-The whole aspect
of the coming jubilee has been suddenly
changed by painful information which
comes from a source making it impossi-
BILE to doubt its accuracy. 1t is an
nounced on the authority of one OF the
royal physicians attendant upon her
majesty that "the queen is almost
totally blind. !"
This is the true reason why she will
not leave the carriage at the service at
st. Paul's cathedral Tuesday. 1t Is
semi-officially announced that she will
be unable to respond to the greetings
extended along the line OF the royal
procession.
This explains the recent revival OF
gossip of regency under the Prince OF
Wales in the near future.

THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Senate Has Disposed Of tho Agricul.
tural Schedule.

tural Schedule.
Washington, June 18.-The senate
made rapid work on the tariff bill to-
day. There was no long speeches and
the debate was of snappy character,
which at times enlivened but did not
delay the serious work on the bill.
Thirteen pages were disposed of, carry
ing the senate through the agricultural
schedule and up to schedule II, relating
to spirits, wines, etc. During the day,
the paragraphs on dairy products, farm
products, fish, fruit and nuts, meat
products and miscellaneous agricultural
products were acted on. The finance
committee proposed many changes, in
the main advancing rates somewhat
over those heretofore reported.~ The
committee was sustained on every vote,
although contest was made on alOmst
every paragraph. Vests motion to re.
store salt to the free list was rejected
ayes "a, noes 81.
The important paragraph proposing a
tax on tea went over at the suggestion
of Allison, who expressed the hope that
this duty on tea might be dispensed
with.
The senate met at 1 A. NJ, and will
continue to meet at that hour until the
bill is disposed of.

Washington, June 18.-The treaty
for the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands reached the senate chamber at
8 O'Clock today. The senate went into
executive session, and as soon as the
doors were closed the message of Presi-
dent Mckinley, accompanying the
treaty. and the treaty itself, were read
to the senate.
The message of the president was not
very long document. It dealt with
historical facts concerning the island,
and showed that the United States and
Hawaii are becoming more closely
bound to each other. This was not
really annexation, he said, but con-
tinuation of existing relations, with
closer bonds between people closely re-
lated by blood and kindred ties. Since
1920, says the president, the predomi-
nance of the United States has been
known. The sending of the first envoy
there brought the islands in closer rela
tions with the United States, and their
relations grew firm by succeeding
events.
At the time the tripartite agreement
was made for the government of Samoa,
he said, Great Britain and Germany
wanted to include Hawaii in the group
over which protectorate was estab-
lished, but the suggestion was rejected
by the United States, because this gov
eminent held there already existed re-
lations between Hawaii and the United
States which placed the islands under
the special care of this country. and
this government would not allow any
other country to interfere in the affairs
of Hawaii. The annexation of the
islands, said the president, and making
them q part of the United States, was
in accordance with the established pol
icy of this country.
The president called attention to
the fact that legitimate and existing
government of Hawaii offered to annex
the islands to the United States in
1851; but, on account OF what was
deemed the best policy, the annexation
was not accepted by this country. He
stated that the United States virtually
exercised protectorate over the islands
since the first American mission, and
guaranteed the autonomy of the govern
ment of the group. The islands had
beer largely settled by our own people,
and our people were now interested in
them. American interests FREEDOM
mated, and we had grown to consider
them under our own protection. The
present treaty was in the light OF
contamination of what had practically
been in existence for years.

DEBATE GREW WARM.
The Fiery Tillman Discusses tho Sugar
Question With Hoar.

Question With HOar.
Washington, June 16.-The senate de-
bate on the sugar schedule Of the tariff
bill proceeded today with only one
diverting incident to relieve the monot-
ony into which the discussion has
lapsed. This was sharp exchange be-
tween Hoar and Tillman, representing
the two extremes of senatorial pro-
cedure. Tillman referred to published
charges of irregularity in connection
with the sugar schedule. and asserted
that the senate would stand convicted
before the American people if it failed
to investigate the charges. Mr.. Hoar
calmly and impressively repelled this
statement, his tone and language being
calculated as rebuke. He declared
that the vague charges of irregularity
were not only preposterous, but infa-
nous.
Allison, in charge of the bill. made
another speech in defense Of the sched-
ule, presenting tables which he declared
proved that the sugar refners received
less protection under the senate sched-
ule than under the existing law. Pet
tigrew spoke at length in favor of his
amendment to place ON the free list
articles controlled by trusts, severely
arraigning the various trusts. Allen
urged legal procedure against the trusts.
Only one roll-call occurred during the
day, on Lindsay's amendment to place
all sugars on the same basis. This was
rejected, 26 to 20. McEnery voted
with the Republicans in the negative,
and Pettigrew and Mantle with the
Democrats in the affirmative.
The tariff bill was taken up with lit
tie delay. Allison asked for an agree
ment that the daily sessions begin at IL
A. NJ, but it was preferred to have the
agreement conditioned on the under
standing that daily adjournments would
be at P. NJ. Allison stated that there
would be no difficulty about that, and
an agreement for early sessions was

INTENDED FOR FAURE.
Clumsy Attempt to Assinate
the French President.
BOMB EXPLODED BY ROADSIDE
No Ono Was Injured-The Wou1d-Be-
Murderer, Who Was Arrested, IL
Believed to Be Insane.

Paris, June 15.-An attempt was
made today to assassinate Felix Faure,
president of the French republic, while
he was en- route to Long Champs to
witness the Grand Prix.
While NJ. Faure's carriage was pass
Ing q thicket near La Cascade restaurant
in the Bots de Boulogne, bomb, which
subsequently proved to be piece of
tubing about six inches long and two
inches in diameter, with thickness of
half an inch, filled with powder and
swanshot, exploded. No one was in
jured by the explosion.
A man in the crowd, suspected as
the prime mover, was arrested. He
gave his name as Gallet, and made
only the briefest replies to questions
put to him by the police.
Gallet said that he had no occupa-
ton, but resided at Levallers Ferret.
The police are making a thorough in
vestigation. Gallet is believed to be
insane, for he shouted as the carriage
passed along so loudly as to attract gen.
eral attention in the crowd. The po-
lice have also made another arrest, in
this case youth, but it is thought
probable that the actual culprit escaped.
The news of the attempted assassina-
ton spread like wildf1re through the
city, and when M. Faure returned to
the Elysees, the streets along the route
where it was known he would drive,
were crowded with people. who cheered
him vociferously,
It was at first reported that the
would-be assassin was young man
about rs, who stood in the crowd 100
yards or more from the race-course, and
discharged pistol at M. Faure as he
drove up to the entrance, and there was
2 subsequent report that both pistol
and bomb were used. But the police
now believe that the supposed pistol
shot was merely the noise OF the bomb.
The bomb was clumsily made
affair. A piece of fuse was attached,
and the fuse was probably lighted by a
paper fixed in the end of stick as soon
as the head of the procession came into
view. The presumption Is that the
moment the fuse was lighted the Gull
prit fed, and in any case the bomb
could not have done much harm. In
the thlcket where the police found the
remnants of the bomb they also found
a pistol upon which were engraved the
words, "Mort Felix Faure," and the
names of Alsace, Lorraine and Cologne.
Near the pistol was small dagger,
bearing similar threatening inscrip-
ton, and few feet away the police
found paper with a cartoon grossly in
sulting to the president. This con-
tanned an offensive inscription limiting
ct the execution of NJ Faure.
Several persons have stated to the
police that the moment the explosion
occurred man was seen to run swiftly
into the thicket, but reports of this
character are likely to be mere conjec-
ture.

VENEZUELA TREATY.
Final Ratification Has Been Completed
at the Capital.

Final Ratification Has Been Completed
at the Capital.
Washington, June 16.-The final
ratification Of the boundary treaty be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela was
exchanged at the state department at 8
O'Clock this afternoon. Because this
exchange marked the closing chapter in
the negotiations begun in the last and
deciding phase, almost two years ago,
the occasion was marked with some
Formally. The scene was the diplo-
matte reception room in the state de-
partment, in which the original treaty
between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Sec
rotary Olney was signed, and where, on
February last, the present treaty was
signed by the British ambassador and
the Venezuela minister. Today there
were present in the room Sir Julian
Pauncefote, Senior Andrade, the Venez-
uela minister, and his secretary of lega-
ton Acting Secretary of State w. R.
Day and Assistant Secretary Cridler,
who has been instrumental in framing
the various treaties, protocols and other
writings connected with the treaty.
What remained to be done today was
to exchange the copies of the treaties
held by each party, and to sign what is
known as the exchange protocols. For
this purpose Senior Andrade brought
along the same magnificent gold PEN
holder with it's eagle quill and diamond
studded heart that had been used last
February to sign the original draft Of
the treaty. This pen liz the property Of
a brother of the minister, and was made
for this particular purpose. 1t will be
sent to Venezuela, now that it has full
filled it's function, not to be used again,
but to be preserved as a relic. When
the signing was over and each of the
parties held the exchange copies of the
treaties, there was mutual exchange
of congratulations, and Mr.. Cridler was
thanked for the pains he had taken to
prepare all of the documents for the
occasion.
The treaty now becomes binding
upon both governments, Great Britain
and Venezuela, and they must at once
begin preparation of the cases to be SUBJ
mitted to the arbitrator, who will meet
in Paris for organization, probably some
time next winter. With today's cere-
mony the connection Of the United
States government with the negotia-
tions ceases, and the two governments
will be left to work out the boundary
dispute to a conclusion, unless there
should be some totally unexpected in-
terruption In the workings Of the ma
chinery which has been SO carefully
prepared to insure settlement OF this
celebrated case.

San Francisco, June 15.-The slOOp
yacht Nellie, with pleasure party on
board, was driven by the wind this at
ternoon on the rocks surrounding Alca-
traz, the island in San Francisco bay
used as a military prison by the United
States army. The steering gear broke
just as the yacht approached the island,
and the stiff breeze drove her to tins
shelving rocks, where she was held fast.
All of the 20 persons on board were
safely landed, except Miss Annie Seen,
of San Jose, who jumped premat urely
on the rocks and fell, sustaining seri-
Gus internal injuries. The yacht will
probably go to pieces on the rocks. The
vessel is valued at 81, 500.

SUGAR OUT OF THE WAY.
Senate Should Now Make Good Progress
on the Tariff Bill.

Washington, June 1.-THE senate
made great stride forward today by
completing the consideration Of the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill, except
the provisions relating to Hawaii,
which went over. The schedule has
been the storm center of the entire bill,
and with it disposed of there is bet
ter prospect for speedy action on the
bill as whole. The first paragraph Of
the sugar schedule has served to bring
out all the speeches and the test votes,
and when this was passed early today,
the other paragraphs of the schedule
were agreed to without further opposi-
ton. As agreed to, the schedule places
on sugar not above No. Is, Dutch
standard, cent per pound, and .O3 Of
a cent for every degree above 70, and
on sugars above No. l, Dutch standard,
1876 cents per pound, but on sugars
testing below 81 deg. Ito Of cent
per pound shall be deducted. The
other provisions of the schedule relate
to maple sugar. maple syrup, candy,
etc.
Only one aye and no vote was taken
during the day. on the amendment Of
Lindsay to make the rate l.s cents per
pound on sugar above No. 16, Dutch
standard. The amendment was de-
feated, 80 to 35.
The Pettigrew amendment, relating
to trusts, was then taken up and dis
cussed at length. It developed con-
siderable divergence Of view on both
sides of the chamber, the two Alabama
senators-Morgan and Pettus-joining
Hoar in opposition. Allison finally
tested the sense Of the senate by NOV
ing to table the amendment, which mo-
ton prevailed-ayes 35, noes 80.
Consideration of the agricultural
schedule was then resumed, the butter
paragraph being agreed to as reported.
