IN THE SENATE.
Consideration of the Tariff Bill Pro-
ceeds Rapidly.

CONFEDERATION of the Tariff Bill Pro-
ceeds Rapidly.
Washington, June 3.-The senate
made greater progress on the tariff
bill than on any day since the debate
opened, completing more than half of
the important metal schedule. The
speaking was by the democratic SEN
ators, the republican senators taking
no part in the debate except at rare
intervals to answer questions which
would expedite the advance of the bill.
Senators Jones (Arll.) and Vest urged
numerous amendments embodying
in the main the Wilson rates, but
these were rejected, with only one ex-
ception. This exception related to an
wills, on which Senator Vest secured
reduction of the committee rate from
two to one-and three-fourths cents per
pound. It was the first change made
without the assent of the committee,
and it was due mainly to the listless
manner of many senator's in not voting.
Senator Stewart (pop., New. preceded
the debate by offering. an amendment
proposing the maintenance of treas
ury reserve of 1925, 5000, 900, and the re.
tirement of bonds out of the surplus
above $125,00O,000. Senator Stewart
stated that previous amendment Of
fered by him might lead to interfering
the silver question into the tariff de-
bate, so he preferred to strip the ques.
ton of everything beyond regulation
of the treasury reserve.
Early in the day Senator Tillman Is.
co. secured the adoption of resolu-
ton directing the judiciary committee
to inquire into the recent decisions
against the South Carolina dispensary
law, with view to reporting such Leg
islation as might be desirable. -.

!, Dubuque, a.. May 2o.-The biennial
meeting Of the. head camp Modern
Woodmen Of America, to DO held here
June II, promises to be one Of the most
important and largest attended con:
MENTIONS ever held by the order. Many
matters Of vital Importance to the OH
ganization are to be considered and
there will be lively fight about some Of
them. This il especially true regard
ing proposition to again order tho
headquarters moved from Fulton, ILL.,,
to Rock Island. The order for the
change was originally made at Omaha
in 1898. and again at Madison, Wis, In
1895. The Fulton people, by means Of
Injunction and other legal proceedings,
prevented the removal, but the passage
of bill by the Illinois legislature re-
Gently authorizing change Of location,
and the general impression that the con-
vention next week will act in accord
,ance Herewith, makes it pretty GER
tain that Rock Island will at last be sue
cessful. The Fulton camp, however,
backed by a dozen others, will make q
light to retain the headquarters.
The reports of the head officers show
that since the meeting at Springfield in
1890, the membership has increased
from 10000 to 100000, and the number
of camps from LOO to 1880; that the
average age has decreased from 9s.o5

from 5.41 in 1893 to 400 in 1896; the cost
of management from $1.62 in 1889 to 81
cents in 1896. The total insurance now
i'm force is $3.50, 1000. The increase in
membership during the last biennial
period has been 127, 113 and in the num-
Der Of camps 1888. There is balance
of $74,270 in the treasury to the credit
of the benefit fund and Of $175, 900 in the
general fund. The proposition to estab-
fish a reserve was defeated, the votes for
1T being 1885 and against it 57,416;
camps 4,512, against 2,792, tie 20.
