THAT HUNG UP TREATY.

'tcs,aent Mckinley Tavors the ,,rip,n,I
/ n"Iation Treqty-He Desires to UayS
~ nh'ined "A Disposition Said Ia Pa
h Hnohg Republican Senators to Waiya
xe Most of Their Objections - Whers
objections is Expected.
NEW YORK, March 1O.-A Herald sna-
cial from Washington says: President
mckinley is emphasizing his earnest
desire for the prompt ratification of the
general arbitration treaty by personal
appeals to his friends of the senate.
IL Is understood that to Chairman
Davis, of the rbinmittee on FOREIGN re-
iatiohs, Senator Cullom and other SEN
ators who have recently called Upon
him, President Mckinley manifested
the deepest interest in the pending
treaty and urged each of them to exert
ms best efforts to insure its prompt rat
lhcation in practically the same shape
1T was sent to the senate.
President Mckinley, II is said thinks
Sc well OF the good work accomplished
by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote that he stands ready and
willing to begin negotiations for
similar treaties with other European
powers
Since Maj, Mckinley has declared
himself so strongly in favor of the
treaty in its original form, many res
publican senator's, who before favored
radical amendments, are now inclined,
for the sake of harmony with the ad-
ministration, to stand by the original
instrument with, perhaps, some slight
notifications.
Senator Davis, the new chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, is
disposed to yield to the presidents
wishes on nearly all points, except the
one naming King Oscar as the sover-
eign to select the final umpire It is
understood that he and other republi-
can members Of the committee will in
sist on striking out this clause.
The chief opposition to the treaty MS
a whole will come from Senators Nor
gan and Daniel, both of whom stand
ready to resort to dilatory tactics to
prevent its ratification in the form in
which it was drawn, and as it is now
iDdorsed by the new administration.

THE SUGAR SCHEDULE
Agreed Upon by the Republican Members
OF the Ways and Means Committee.

| Agreed Upon by the Republican Members
Of the Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The outlines
of the sugar schedule We're agreed upon
yesterday by the republican members
of the ways and means conmitte
Only two points were definitely decid-
ed, but they will form the skeleton of
| the entire schedule. These two points
were that the duties on sugar should
be a specific rate Of sl.6215 for each 100
pounds of sugar testing % degrees,
and concession Of 12l5 cents per
100 pounds under reciprocity
arrangement. This will afford
a considerably higher average rate than
the existing sugar schedule and will
add about twenty million dollars to the
annual revenue. The points which re-
main to be decided are the distribution
of the duty on sugar above and below SO
degrees including the ditferential duty
on refined suga and the countervail-
ing duty to be levied upon sugar from
bounty paying countries, The duty on
sugar below 96 degrees will probably
be fraction Of a cent less for each
degree, according to the polariscopio
test, down to a certain point which
will be made the minimum duty, The
differential duty, which affords the
protection to American refiners, will
be about the same as under the exist
ing Iaw-one-eighth of a cent per
pound. The reciprocity concession
will constitute 1874 cents upon every
100 pounds of sugar testing 96 degrees,
and the same proportionate concessions
will run through the schedule of SUI
gars testing less number of degrees.
There viii probably be no concession
greater than this upon refined sugar.
The present countervailing duty
against sugar from bounty-paying
countries is one-tenth of cent per
pound. The duty under the new law
will probably not be named in the law,
but the secretary of the treasury will
be authorized to ascertain what bounty
is paid by countries from which the
sugar is imported into the United
States and to levy upon such sugar an
additional duty equal to the bounty.

THE INAUGURATION BIBLE,



WAsHrNGToN, March 1.-THE Bible
ON which President Mckinley took the
oath of Office last Thursday was pre-
sented to him at the White House by d
delegation of bishops Of the African
Methodist Episcopal church. Bishop
Benjamin W. Arnett, of Ohio made
the presentation, which took place in
the cabinet room. He said he knew
the president was pressed for time and
for that reason the delegation highly
appreciated the honor of being re-
ceiyed. They merely desired to present
him the Bible and to wish him God
speed The president responded in a
few words of thanks and added that he
would always treasure and preserve the
volume.
In December last the bishops and
members of the A. NJ L. church de.
cided to get up a special volume on
which Maj. Mckinley could be sworn,
after obtaining the consent of the pres.
ident-elect. The Bible was printed to
their order. The edges were red-un-
der-gold, the Innings of white moire an
tique striped satin and silk. Inside
the front and back covers are beautiful
panels, inlaid with dark blue Turkey
morocco, finished in gold. The center
of these panels is of white satin, On
this satin center, in the front panel is
printed an inscription reading, in part;
Presented to his exceIlency VIM.
Mckinley by the bishops of the Afri-
can Methodist church, on behalf Of
eight millions Of redeemed Americans,
as a token Of their high appreciation
of his love for the Declaration of Indc-
pendence, his devotion to the consti-
tuition as amended, his loyalty to the
Ten Commandments and Golden Rule,
and his advocacy of protection to
American institutions, industries and
men,"
Another paragraph shows that the
Bible was used at the Inauguration GER
emonies.

BICYCLING IN DAKOTA
An Exciting Fxperience with In
quisittve Steers.

An Exciting Fxperience with In.
quisittve steers.
While in South Dakota last summer
a book agent had occasion to cross one
of the great cattle range districts. He
was making the trip on a bicycle and
up to this time the Journey had been
very enjoyable. Now, however, he
was destined to meet with trials and
tribulations that would be worth tell
ing to his unborn grandchildren. He
knew nothing Of these untamed range
cattle, and, alas, the cattle were equal
ly as ignorant Of scorching bicyclers.
According to our correspondence
veracious chronicler of South Dakota
happenings-the agent was making
good time and lifting a free and easy
soul to heaven, without a single fear
Of the browsing herds upon the rolling
plains, when all at once the prOverbial
change came over the spirit of his
dreams. One of the steers, more Gu
riOus and observant than the others.
spied the Strengthening vehicle, and
was tempted to follow it. BY and by
other cattle Joined in the chase, and
then the entire herd became interested.
The agent began to grow nervous
and increased his speed, but this only
whetted the curiosity Of the cattle, and
they pounded along after him at a rnte
that was incredible to the agent.
The situation grew decidedly alarm
ing. The mild inIuisitiveness Of the
steers had changed to anger. and they
were going to run that peculiar species
Of cowboy down il it took all summer.
Fortunately for the agent, the cowboys
on the range saw the peril, rode to his
rescue. and succeeded in diverting the
cattle from the hapless rider. 1t is
probable that he will not care to can
vass in that part Of the country any
mOre-not on his bicycle.-Norhwes'
Magazine.
