CHARGES AGAINST BRYAN.
Professor 6Gteman Says tie FREQ SIver
Champion Committed Political
EornarH and RrlherE

LEWISTON, Me, June 21.-Professor
L. G. Bateman of Auburn, who was the
candidate OF the Peoples party of Maine
tor Governor last year, and who is
leader of the middle the-road forces in
New England, has to-day made public
two important charges against w. ].
Bryan. he says that Populist Congress
man Freeman Knowles of North Dakota.
while on his recent trip to his old home
in Skowhegan, Me-, informed prominent
citizen OF that town that Mr.. Bryan's
recent gift of $500 to the Populist Ma
tional Committee was made with the dis
tinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken by the
Peoples party before the next National
convention. This, Professor Bateman
says, is nothing more nor less than direct
bribery. Bateman also says that Bryan
appended his (Bateman'sJ name to Sena-
tor Aliens letter of notification given out
last September. Bateman was secretary
of the notification committee, but did not
sign the letter in question. He says that
Bryan's action in printing his name TO
the letter in his book is an act of political
forgery. Bateman is a delegate to the
middle-of-the-road National conference
at Nashville July and says he will bring
these matters before that body.

AN ENGLISH FLAG T0RE DOWN.
Two Men at lynn, Mass, Str U0 Bad
Feshhs That Nay Cause

LYNN, MASS, June 21-An English flag
was torn from its fastenings while flying
from window in Market square last
night 1t was trampled in the dust, but
later recovered by its owner, who with a
revolver in his hand, again placed the
flag in the window and defied any body to
remove it.
In Osborne's block there are number
OF Englishmen who are employed in the
General Electric Works, and who have
been prominent in the arrangements to
celebrate the jubilee. Abous midnight
two men were seen to approach the rear
OF the building.
They carried a long rope which they
threw over and entangled the flag. They
then pulled and the stick on the flag
broke. The noise awakened the man
owning the ensign.
Looking out of the window he dis
covered the two men running with the
flag. They were dragging it after them,
and cried back to him that he could not
fly that flag in Lynn.
George Rawson, the man who owned
the flag, gave pursuit. The men escaped,
but be found the flag. 1t had been torn,
but he took 1t back to the window and re-
malned with a revolver in his hand.
The English citizens are indignant and
are conducting an investigation of their
own. No arrests have been made. There
is great excitement and riot is feared.

Why She Is Opposed to
the Annexation of
Hawaii.
Sees a Notification of Her
Legal Rights in the
Treaty.
No Threat of Retaliation Is Made,
but a Desire to Continue
Friendly Relations.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2L-Japan
has followed her memorandum inquiry
about the Hawaiian treaty with a formal
protest against annexation, on the ground
that her legel rights and those of her citi-
zens in Hawaii would be nullified should
| the treaty become effective There is no
threat Of retaliation in the protest, which
shows throughout the earnest desire of
Japan to continue friendly relations.
Minister Hoshi, who filed the "memor-
andum inquiry" also signed the protest,
presumably under instructions.
The main objection made by Japan is
that the treaty will abrogate the rights
given Japanese residents of Hawaii by the
treaty of 1871. By that agreement all the
rights and privileges of other foreigners in
Hawaii were granted the Japanese.
Minister Hosht contends that many
Japanese who became citizens of Hawaii
through naturalization cannot have their
citizenship confirmed by the United States
if the treaty becomes effective. The laws
of the United States have been construed
to exclude Japanese from exercising the
franchise in this country, and after annex
alton those who have obtained naturaliza-
protected by any G overnment.
Many claims made by Japan against
Hawaii are pending, and the Minister con-
tends that these would be repudiated
through the treaty. Interpretation of Gus
toms regulations has been an endless
cause of difference between the Toxic and
Honolulu authorities. Special consider
alton for some Japanese products had
been secured by the treaty, and the alleged
failure OF HAWAII to observe the letter of
the agreement had been followed by de-
mands for pecuniary damages.
The protest will be sent to the Senate
Com mittee on Foreign Relations for con-
sideration in connection with the treaty.
Its effect cannot be predicted but it will
probably be used by the opponents of an
nexation when the treaty is taken up in
executive session.
Japan is the only country that has filed
an out-and-out protest.
Portugal, through its Minister here, has
expressed the hope that the rights of
Portuguese subjects in Hawaii will be OBJ
served If the islands become part of the
United States, and the Chinese Minister
has submitted an argument against that
provision of the treaty which provides
that persons residing on the islands shall
not enter the United States.
The Minister holds that the treatv be-
tween China and this country permits
Chinese to pass from one State or Terri
tory to another, and that if Hawaii be.
comes part OF the United States the SUBJ
lects OF China residing there may proceed
to the American continent.

General Passenger Agent Lomax of the

General Passenger Agent Francis of the

Compromise Offered by the
Finance Committee to
Be Agreed To.
Tariff Rates to Range Downward
From Eleven to Two and a
Half Cents a Pound.
Fifty.fve Pages of the Revised Dingley
Bill Disposed Of in the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 2L-The
compromise offered by the Finance Com
mittee on the wool schedule is an advance
over the rates they reported with the BILL
but is below the Dingley rates. The
members of the committee DO not think a
caucus will be necessary to secure the
solid support of the Republican Senator'S
as their proposition has been practically
agreed to by those Senators who have
been urging higher rates.
On woods of the first class the rate is
placed at II cents a pound, and on second
class woods 10 cents pound. The clause
as to skirted woods is omitted, ana third
class woods valued at less than cents a
pound are to pay 21z cents a pound; val
ued al 6 cents and not more than 10 cents,
3H cents pound; valued at 10 cents and
not more than Is cents, 6 cents a pound !;
valued at over 15 cents, 7cents a pound.
This increase on raw wool involves a
corresponding increase in the duty on
manufactures of WOOL but as different
schedules are arranged so that duties are
fixed on an automatic basis of so many
times the value of pound of unwashed
wool of the first class, it Will not be neces.
sary to amend each item.
The Senate to-day disposed of fifty five
pages OF the tariff bill, comprising two
complete schedules, pulp papers and
books and sundries, and the whole of the
free list. When the bill was taken up,
the wool schedule was first in order, but
it was allowed TO go over till tomorrow.
1t was the same in regard to the silk
schedule, which came next in order.
The next two schedules, NJ and N, were
disposed of in quick time, the Democrats
offering little if any opposition, and no
lengthy arguments being INDUCED in.
Many paragraphs in the two schedules
went over without action. This was the
case with coal for vessels, diamonds, hides,
gloves, painting pencils and other articles
A still larger number OF articles on the
free list were left unacted upon.
Only one aye and no vote was taken.
That was on the motion to reduce the
duty on safety fuses In mining to 10 per
cent ad valorem. The motion was mad e
by Pettigrew, who called for the ayes and
noes in order to have Senators from min
ing States go on record.
Most of the Senators from the mining
States voted for Pettigrew's amendment
but not ali of them.
Pettigrew asked Allison what the duty
on safety-fuse would be. He was informed
1t would come under the BASKET clause"
at from 30 to As per cent.
Pettigrew moved TO make the duty 10
per cent. Two years ago the price was
81 so thousand feet, now it was 81 95

price would be So so. A combination of

In London he will doubtless meet Fos-

may be made toward an agreement re-
specting the suppression of peIagic seal

siderable favor in official circles provides
for the absolute prohibition OF pelagic
sealing for ten years. To effect this it will
be necessary to provide compensation to
vessel-owners engaged in the business,

Senior Sagasta with reference to the
Tetuan-C omas incident, the president
said he would net be justified in inter-

1.-THE premier declared that the oppo-

Tetuan announced in the senate cham
Der that he never intended to slight or
give offense to the Liberal minority. He
added that the government could not
dispense with the Duke Of Tetuan's

governments meaning Americal. Senior
Sagasta promised to give his followers
conciliatory advice, but said he must
be guided by their decision. According

to Senior Sagasta, with instructions to
settle the conflict on the understanding
that they would not enter the cortas
