Washington. June 14.-Dr. Wyman, tn,
surgeon general of the marine hospita
service. has received information that the
Mississippi state board of health threatens
to interfere with the transportation of sup
plies to the government quarantine station
at Ship island.
1t is understood supplies for the station
are transported by n steamer plying be-
tween Biloxi and float anchored near the
station. Recently the treasury depart
ment declined to accept bills of health fur
nishcd by the state board as sufficient
especially as n government station fully
equipped is located mt that point.
1t is understood that the state hoard
threatens TO prevent the landing at Biloxi
of the supply boat unless the government
rcccdes from its position as to recognizing
the stntc board The matter was under
discussion mt the treasury department to-
day, and it was decided to stand by its
former action.

ed at the state department at O'Clock
| this afternoon.
| Because this exchange Of notifications
marked the closing chapter in the negotia-
| tions begun in the last administration, al
most two years ago. the occasion was
| marked with some Formally. The scene
was the diplomatic reception room in the
state department in which the original
| treaty between Sir Julian PauncefOte and
| Secretary Olney was signed last Deem
| Der. and where on February last the pres
ent treaty was signed by the British am
bassador and the Venezuela minister
Today there were present in the room Sir
Julian Pauncefote, Senior Andrade. the
Venezuelan minister, and his secretary of
legation, Acting Secretary of State Will
liam Day, and Assistant Secretary Thorn
as Crider, who has been instrumental in
framing the various treaties, protocols and
other writings connected with the treaty.
What remained to be done today was the
exchange of copies of the treaties held by
each party, and to sign what is known as
the exchange protocols. For this purpose
Senior Andrade brought along the same
magnificent penholder, with its eagle quill,
diamond studded heart that had been
used last February to sign the original
drafts of the treaties. This pen is the
property of the brother of the minister

When the signing was over and each of
the parties held the exchange copies Of the
treaties there was a mutual exchange of
congratulations, and Mr.. Cridler was
thanked for the pains he had taken to pro
pare all of the documents for the occa-
sion.
The treaty now becomes binding on both
governments, Great Britain and Venczn-
ella, and they must ut once begin prepare

or differential lying in this scale, running
from 10 to 100 degrees, l reply that the
differental is not to Re SEEN
Mr. Allison then presented table
showing the differential in the law of
1894, the house bill and the proposed SEN
ate schedule, from sugars of IS degrees
up to refined sugar. The main rates are
shown as follows:
Seventy-Gve degrees Differential
1894, $500; house. 1882; senate. 6299.
lightweight degrees: Differential
1894, 2S.4S; house, 1875; senate, 24.S5.
Nincty-six degrees: Differential
1894, 1882; house, 1898; senate, 1888.
One hundred degrees: Dfferential,
1894, 21.S2; house, 1850; senate, 20.
When Mr.. Allison was asked why his
figures differed from those of Mr.. AL
drich, who made the original statement,
was based upon the process of sugar in
bond in New York, while Mr.. Aldrich's
statement was based on the price of
sugar in the Philippine islands and
Egypt.
Upon the table l have demonstrated,
at least to my own satisfaction" he
added. that the rate, as it is proposed
here, is a less rate of duty than that in
the existing law. In a good many cases
l agree that it is only a fraction less,
but, in every case except two, it is less"
Mr.. Gallery again criticised the sugar
trust, pointing out that it needed no
protection, according to its own admis-
sions. Everywhere, he said, was felt
the baneful influence of the trust. 1t in
vaded the senate, and wherever it goes,
said he, it blasts and shrivels and burns
1t ought to be put out of the domain of
legislation, he asserted.
The bill was laid aside, and at 5:15 the
senate held an executive session and adj
journed soon after.
