lars year to the Sugar Trust, while
the other is equally as emphatic in as
sorting that its abrogation is desired by
the Trust for the reason that it has Sc
cured control of the beet sugar business
OF this country. Senator Nelson, who in
troduced the amendment to the Tariff
Bill in the Senate for the abrogation of
the treaty, declines to discuss the SUBJ
Ject for publication in advance of the
time when it will be debated on the floor.
1t is assumed, however, that he will
take the ground that the United States
is not receiving an equivalent for the
free admission of sugar into this coun-
try from the Hawaiian Islands A MEM
Der of the Senate, who is still on the
fence so far as this feature of the Tar
if Bill is concerned, has been making
some investigations and has concluded
that from a purely revenue standpoint
the United States is getting the worst
of this treaty.
The question is engaging the attention
of financial and tariff experts and the
members of the Senate are endeavoring
to get all the facts obtainable upon the
subject, so that it can be fully debated
when it comes up in the Senate. Senator
Nelson will urge his amendment, it Is
understood, simply upon the ground that
the treaty causes loss of revenue to the
United States for which no proportionate
benefit is received.

A new SCHEDULE.
Tariff Bill Reported to The
Senate.
HAWAIIAN PROVISION DROPPED
The Same Old Argument
Was Made.
Treaty One-sided-An Amendment
May Provide for Hawai-
ian Sugar.
HAWAIIAN PROVISION DROPPED

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Tariff
Bill was reported to the Senate today.
The sugar schedule is as follows:
Sugars not above No 16, Dutch stan
dard in color; tank bottoms syrups, cane
ed Melada, concrete and concentrated
molasses tested by polariscope above 81
and not above IS degrees, 10 cent per
pound, and for every additional degree
shown by polariscope test, % cent per
pound, and fractions of degree in pro-
portion. Sugar above No. 16, Dutch
standard in color, and sugar that has
gone through the process of refining,
1.16 cents per pound; and in addition
thereto in all of the foregoing 30 per
cent ad valorem. Sugar not above No.
16, Dutch standard in color; tank bot
toms syrups, cane juice and beet juice,
Melada, concentrated Melada, concrete
and concentrated molasses testing by
pOlariscope not more than 81 degrees, 70
per cent ad valorem. Nolasses testing
above 40 and not more than 80 degrees, 4
cents a gallon; molasses testing 90 de-
grees and not above 20 degrees, cents
a gallon. Machinery purchased abroad,
imported and erected in any beet sugar
factory and actually used in the pro-
duction of sugar in the United States
from beets produced therein within two
years from the first day of July, 1897,
shall be admitted free of duty under
such regulations as the Secretary of the
and maple syrup, 4 cents a pound. Glu-
cose or grape sugar, - cents per
pound. Sugarcane in natural state or
unmanufactured, 10 per cent ad valorem.
Saccharine, 81 a pound and 10 per cent
ad valorem. Sugar candy and all con-
fectionery valued at Is cents per pound
or less, cents per pound and 10 per
cent ad valorem.
The provision emphasizing that moth
ing in the bill shall be regarded as alb
rogating the Hawaiian treaty is stricken
out This practically abrogates the
treaty. This was done on the argument
that all the United States gets in eN-
change for Pearl Harbor is small
amount of duties that will be collected
on sugar, which is not regarded as a fair
exchange.
The effect of the action of the Finance
Committee Of the Senate in throwing
out the House provision in reference to
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty has been a
subject of some comment. One member
OF the committee said that ii is the in
tention of the committee to deal with
the matter hereafter. The effect Of the
bill as il stands, he said, would no doubt
be to impose a duty on Hawaiian sugar
Some amendment TO regulate this will
be prepared. hut Just what form IL will
take has not been determined.

The representatives OF the Dole Cow
erRmept now at Washington, and there

whatever respecting annexation, They
cannot even discover that the President
ana his advisers, II they have decided
against annexation, favor the establish
meNt of a proteetOrate, There Is only
one intlmatiou REGARDING the Presidents
change OF mind in respect TO annexation,
and that senator sherman, for some rea-
son best known 10 himself, is opposed
not only to the annexation of the ISL
andS, but also 10 a protectorate, and
seems TO prefer that the existing situa-
ton in Hawaii he continued, The rea-
sons of the aged Secretary of State in
the event that this view of the case is
correct, cannot be ascertained, As chair
man of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations, II was always believed that
Mr., sherman, at all times, favored a
vigorous foreign policy on the part of
this Government, and was even partial
to the proposition for the annexation of
Cuba as well as Hawaii.
Recently, however, il has been a hard
matter for anybody to follow Mr.. Sher-
man, either in dealing with foreign af-
fairs or anything else of Importance to
this country. Now that man has been
named as his assistant in the State De-
partment who is considered an agrees
sive as well as judicious diplomat there
is a possibility that President Mckinley
may again arrive at the conclusion that
it would be proper for him to announce
IN message TO Congress at the begin
ming of the regular session that he IA
vors, and believes that it would be for
the best interests of this country, as well
as Hawaii, the annexation of the ISL
ands, and should he do this, il seems
certain that his course would be sup
ported by Congress.
II is probably true that the present
Chief Executive has made all arrange
ments to prevent any Japanese invasion
of Hawaii, and 1t is for this reason that

DIFFERENT OPINIONS.
Treaty Is Opposed But Has Many

WASHINGTON. May 3.-The feature
of the new Tariff Bill which is perhaps
discussed more than any other is the pro-
posed abrogation of the reciprocity
treaty with Hawaii, by which sugar
from these Islands is brought into the
United States free of duty in return for
a similar privilege allowed for certain
products and manufactured articles of
this country. Both the supporters and
opponents of this treaty have active
friends at Washington City. One con-
tingent asserts that the treaty is simply
