The Tariff Bill Making Progress.

The ways and means committee IL
moving slowly forward in its work on
the tariff bill. No determination has
vet been reached On the sugar schedule
but on all farm products which have
been taken up and acted upon, the in
terests of the farmers have been very
thoroughly protected. Mckinley law
rates have been restored in most cases,
and this seems to have been just about
the desire Of the farmers. 1t is OBJ
served that those representatives OF the
farmers who came before the commit
tee, in most cases recommended the
restoration Of the rates of that law, and
this recommendation has been followed
as far as possible. It has been suggest
ed that the committee in framing the
rates on sugar should give to the beet
sugar industry some greater encourage
ment than is given to cane sugar. This
suggestion is based upon the assump-
ton that beet sugar is in fact an Gin
FAINT industry" while cane sugar has
been produced in this country for
many years and does not require the
encouragement for its extension that
the beet sugar industry needs. While
the members of the committee recog-
nize this fact and would be glad to ex-
tend this special encouragement to the
production of beet sugar in the North
western states, where beet growing is
practicable, they are finding it ex-
tremely difficult to devise any way by
which it can be accomplished. It is
scarcely expected that the bounty sys-
tenn will be made feature of the new
law and it will of course be impossible
to SO shape the tariff that beet sugar
would derive any greater encourage
ment than cane sugar from the rates of
duty levied.

Destroyed by Fire.

San Francisco. March 18.-Fire at
the planning mill Of M. Hansen, on
Berry street, near Sixth, at 1890 o'clock
tonight, ended disastrously for that
establishment and the factory Of the
Pacific Woodenware q Cooperage Com
pany, adjoining. The fire threatened
adjoining buildings at times, but the
firemen finally confined the flames to
the mill and cooperage places. The fire
originated from defective flue. The
loss to the Hansen mill is estimated at
&25O, 900. Valuable machinery was
used, and the damage to it may increase
the total. The cooperage company's
loss was nearly $76, 900. The insur-
ance is stated at $50, 900.

Tho history OF the long fight 10 re-
move the headquarters Of the Modern
Woodmen Of America from Futon. H..
TO other points Is interesting. Il was
IN 1879 that the Modern woodmen Of
America was organized under Tie laws
Of Illinois. The charter expressly stip-
ulated that the headquarters should be
located In the state Of Illinois. The
place within the state was lmmaterlal,
but as Fulton was the home OF J. {.
Root, one of the founders % the order,
he selected that place az the headquar-
ters OF the organization.
As the association proposed. Root
concluded that be would move Il 10
some larger city. Il was In 1890. II
years later. that the idea OF q change
entered Roots head. Omaha was on
the boom and he selected that place a.
the future home Of his companions.
When he had completed an arrange
menta to 70 10 OmHha. he suddenly
discovered that the people Of Fulton
proposed 10 have a word 10 aay about
the natter About a carload Of rec
ords had accumulated BY that time at
Fulton. which belonged to the organl-
zaiion and when Root attempted 10
remove these from the town he was
interrupted by an injunction issued
from the district court.
The case was tried and determined
IN favor Of FULTON. being the perma-
ncui home Of the association. Root
appealed and the supreme court con-
Armed the decision. This fght has
provoked much bitterness IN the or
Fanirntion and there were many who
were not satisfied to have Root az the
head oi the order, which was NJ that
I tine essentially on Illinois Institution
and which he was anxiousto remove %
some other state
Then a FIGHT was started on Root fo
ous, him az sovereign commander or
supreme D ad of the Modern Wool
men. The matter went through an
the state courts and Root was finally
defeated. Tie al once came 20 Omaha
and started a rival order Enown as
the Woodmen Of The World.
The fight 10 keep the headquarters
AZ Fulton was not resumed until two
years ago. when during the Milwaukee
convention the city of Rock Island.

manent building At that place II the
