Mckinley Schedule 4ddopttd by the Hays

Mckinley Schedule 1idopted by the Hays
and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-THE
Mckinley schedule on woods and woo.en
was substantially adopted to-day by the
Republican majority OF the Ways and
Means Committee. Some important
changes were made in classification, with
view of meeting the objections of the
wool-grCwers to the use of cheap woods
imported at carpet rates under the Nc
Kinley law for clothing purposes. Other
than the$e little change was made.
The new classification takes out of the
description OF woods of class China
lambs wool, Egyptian and Morocco
woods, and one or two other eiasse., which
are declared by the growers 10 be avail
able for clothing purpose. The rates on
the three classes are the same as those of
the Mckinley law-11 cents on wool of
class l. which includes the merino grades !;
II cents on woods OF class 2. which in
cludes the English and Canada wools,
camel hair and alpaca hair; and 80 per
cent ad valorem on woods of class 3, cost
ing 13 cents or less per pound, and so
cents ad valorem on such woods costing
more than Is cents.

TeneSne,a's Congress viii Raify the
Treaty With Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March H.
An unsigned copy of the Venezuelan
treaty was sent to Caracas for the informa-
ton of the Ministry fortnight ago. A
Spanish translation of the treaty, signed
by Sir Julian Pauncefote and Senior
Andrade, was mailed on the 7th inst. and
will reach Caracas on Saturday of this
week. 1t will be laid by President Crespo
before the Venezuelan Senate on Monday
next. Under the rules of the Venezuelan
Congress all bills and treaties are dis
cussed on alternate days for period Of six
davs in order that members who were abb
sent the first day may have an opportun-
lty OF participating In the debate, while
the Senate generally may have the addi-
tional time in which to consider and di-
gest the matter under discussion. The
treaty will thus reach a vote on Saturday,
the Goth ins,.
All the advices from Caracas indicate
its approval by the Senate by a practi-
cally unanimous vote. This result is fore
shgdowed by the press OF the country and
by the utterances OF public men. The
presiding officer OF the Senate expressed
his qualification at this peaceful solution
a solu ion which he regarded as trlum ph
OF right over wrong. The opposition pa
pcrs In Caracas still criticize certain pro-
VISIONS of the treaty, but maintain that
Notwithstanding the objections it ought
to receive the approval OF the Senate.
After the treaty has had similar ap-
provaI from the British Parliament ratifi-
cations viii be exchanged in Washington
between S.r Julian Pauncefote and Senior
Andrade. Within the three months fol-
lowing their exchange the tribunal of
arbitration will endeavor to select the
fifth me II ber OF the board, failing In which
the appointment will be made by KING
o car OF Sweden. The evidence will then
be submitted to the arbitrators, and the
five mem bers will not come together unit
next summer, year, when they will meet
in Paris prepared to settle the points at
issue. Meanwhile diplomatic relations
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
which have been suspended for term oi
years, will be renewed.
