The Wilson law found the ware
houses and docks of the country filled
with foreign goods waiting to come in
under it and swell its receipts, and the
Dingley law found the country already
filled with foreign goods which had paid
duty before it came into operation. Yet
the Dingley law in its second month
came within three million dollars OF
meeting current expenses, while the
Wilson law in its second month fell
thirteen millions short of the expendi-
lures.

The slide which the New York demo-
Gratis have made from free silver to
single tax, in the selection of Henry
George, may perhaps be considered an
indication of what the whole democratic
party is coming TO. 1t is perfectly evil
dent that if silver won't do for a state
campaign, neither will it do for another
national issue, and so it is necessary for
the democratic leaders to cast about for

ANOTHER RESOLUTION
Senator Davis Offers Amendment
Against Abrogation.

Senator Davis Offers Amendment
Against Abrogation.
WASHINGTON, June Hawaiian
matters came to the front in both
houses today. Senator Davis, chair
man of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, introduced an amendment to the
tariff bill which provides that nothing
in the bill shall be construed as abro-
eating the reciprocity treaty.
In the House of Representatives
King of Utah introduced a resolution
which recites that the conditions in
Cuba and Hawaii are approaching such
a condition that action may be neces-
sary at any moment and calling for
the appointment of a Foreign Rela-
tfons Committee. This is due to the
publication of the latest news from
Hawaii setting forth the strained re-
lations between that country and ia
pan
The Finance Committee of the Sen
ate has not framed its substitute for
the reciprocity clause in the Dingley
bill, but it will provide for the continu-
ance OF the treaty for one year with a
provision for an amendment at that
time which shall give to the island
growers from so TO 80 per cent. pro-
lection.

Senators Perkins is of the opinion the
treaty must be amended or abrogated.
Already he has begun TO hear from
the opposite side in California. Petit
lions from San Joaquin and Alameda
farmers, asking a continuance OF the
treaty relations reached him today
while on the House side Barlow filed
resolutions of the San Luis ObispO
Farmers Alliance against abrogation.
The odd circumstance is presented
of Democrats and Populists from the
interior being in doubt as 70 what ac-
ton TO take, with chances favOring
their voting for maintaining the treaty
while San Franciscans are either ex-
pressed opponents Of the treaty or are
Iukewarm. John d. Spreckels and
Senator FELTON, are working for abro-
cation.
The fight for the retention of the
treaty is expected TO take a new boom
tomorrow on the arrival of Gus Spree
kels from San Francisco.

Much Comment on Japanese Affairs
In the Islands.
NEW YORK, June IA special to
the Telegram from Washington says:
Hawaii's refusal to comply with ia
pans demands in the immigration
matter is the talk of diplomatic cir
cIes today. The declaration of the ia
panese Minister to Hawaii to the effect
that if Hawaii holds to her position
he will withdraw from the Islands and
his remark that then there can be
but one result, which you can deter
mine yourself" is taken here to mean,
if the Minister spoke advisedly, that
Japan will proceed to thrash Hawaii
into compliance.
1t is declared in official circles that
President Mckinley will see to it that
neither Japan nor any other foreign
power cuts up any didos on the Paci-
fic group of islands, which he expects
to see resting under the Stars and
Stripes before the end of his term.

meantime a few additional United
States war ships should Just drop an

cry and be unable to get away until

Sugar Magnat9 Declared Not Guilty

WASHINGTON, June In the case
of John E. Searles, the sugar trust
witness, Judge Bradley ordered the
jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal,
holding that the questions asked by
the Senate committee were not peril
nent, and if so were not within the
Jurisdiction of the committee.
The Judges opinion was exhaustive.
He pointed out that Searles had testi-
fed specifically that no money had
been contributed by the sugar trust
to the national campaign or for the
purpose of influencing legislation or
the election of United States Senators.
AS to the local contributions Searles
had testified that he did not know how
the contributions had been used, by
whom and for what purpose. The jury
accordingly rendered verdict of not
guilty and Mr.. Searles was free.
