TARIFF ON COTTON.
Principal Product OF the South Put on
the Dutiable List.

Washington, June 1O.-By the de-
cisive vote of AZ to II, the senate adopt
ed an amendment to the tariff bill plac-
ing raw cotton, the great product of
the South, on the dutiable list at 20
per cent ad valorem. 1t is the first
time in the history of tariff legislation
that cotton has been incorporated in
bill. The amendment was proposed by
Bacon on his individual responsibility,
and without the approval of the finance
committee, which thus far has been
requisite to the success of every amend
ment, except minor one, which went
through by default. The amendment
led to spirited debate, disclosing
wide difference of views, and at times
causing sharp personal criticisms. On
the final vote, six Democrats-Bacon
and Clay of Georgia, McEnery of Louis
lana, McLaurin and Tillman of South
Carolina and Rawlins of Utah-voted
with the Republicans for the Bacon
amendment, while the negative vote
was solidly Democratic, with one excep-
tion-Kyle, Populist.
The debate on cotton took up most of
the day, and but little progress was
made on the bill. Early in the day
the sugar schedule was passed over, and
the agricultural schedule taken up.
The paragraph on cattle went over, but
the remainder of the agricultur sched-
ule, up to and including paragraph 228,
was agreed to as reported, all amend
ments, except that of Bacon being re-
jected.

DYNAMITED BY CueANs.
Eleven Spnniards on Passenger Train
We're Killed.

Havana, June 1.-THE passenger
Grain which leaves Havana for Matan-
zas daily at 6 A. NJ, was dynamited
this morning about l2 miles from this
city, by a party of insurgents. Ao-
cording to the official accounts, the OBJ
ject was plumber, as $6, 900 was in the
express car.
The officials had ordered the passen-
ger train to go ahead and a pilot engine
to follow. AT bend in the line, a
terrible explosion completely wrecked
the engine, which fell into q pit 30 feet
below, dragging three cars after it. At
the same moment another explosion
wrecked the pilot engine, which came
to the rescue, and it fell into the pit
also. Both engineers, one fireman, one
conductor and seven soldiers were
killed and three passengers were severe
ly injured, while 32 suffered more or
less serious bruises, The train was
dynamited with electric machines and
bombs placed on culvert at the curve.
The body of an insurgent was found
lying near the wire communicating
with the bombs. The military escort
of the train quickly recovered, and
opened fire upon the insurgents, who
had advanced toward the cars, and
drove them off.

number of teachers are in attendance.
Last night party of young ladies and
gentlemen were out serenading, and
went to house where young teacher
named Lipp was stopping. When
awakened by the serenaders, Lipp de-
liberately fired a pistol shot into the
serenading party. The bullet struck
Miss Goodman in the neck, causing in
slant death. The murderer was ar
rested and spirited away to Danville by
the officers, who feared that an attempt
would be made by the excited people to
lynch him.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review
of Trade.

We have witnessed almost an entire
week of heavy dragging markets with
an undertone of weakness that has been
an entire reversal of the feeling eXhib-
tied heretofore, and prices have daily
declined fractionally with no rally
whatever. The news has also under
gone an entire change, and bear news is
now plentiful in almost every direction.
The statistical situation however is as
strong as ever, but has lost its force as
an argument because foreigners will not
pay any attention to it, and seem to be
utterly Indifferent to the fact that our
visible is now down to "a, 450, 900 bush
els, and their purchases are very mod
crate, even Mt the decline. Last weeks
exports amounted to 2,62O, 900 bushels,
while receipts in the Northwest have
shown surprisingly large and have been
one of the causes of the decline. Re-
ports from the winter wheat states are
very bright, and harvesting has COM
menced in Texas, Oklahoma and Kan
sas. As yet there is little to judge by,
but reports say the yield will be very
heavy. Thoman's report last week
estimated the winter and spring wheat
crops would show total yield of $780,
900, 900 bushels. Gables are coming
weak and lower daily, and it begins to
look as if the bulls were beaten again,
and just at the time when they be-
lieved themselves on the threshold of
seeing their hopes of better prices real
lied. Their position was never stronger
than it is now, and the situation is
such, that should the demand for cash
wheat and flour again show signs of
reviving, we would see sharp return,
but until this demand does materialize,
there does not seem to be much hope
for better prices. Our visible supply
decreased 2,447,0 900 bushels and the
worlds shipments were 6,700, 900
bushels, showing that importing coun-
tries ARE as yet drawing the greater
portion of needs from other sources.

Annapolis Cadets viii Not Be Permit.
ted to Resign.
Washington, June 14.-For the first
time in many years the secretary of the
navy has interposed his veto upon the
application of junior officer to leave
the naval service. In the present case
three cadets at Annapolis, George
Weber of Arkansas, H. l.. Collins of
Pennsylvania, and P. l.. Pratt of ILL
nois, sought to resign. They had COM
pleted four years service at the acad-
emy, the last year being devoted to the
engineering branch, and desired to
leave and engage in private business.
Secretary Long, however, found that
the engineer corps was sadly in need of
officers owing to the rapid depletion of
the ranks of the older engineers in late
years. and he decided that as these
young men had been educated at the
expense of the government, they should
render service in return.
The cadets, upon admission to the
academy, are required to pledge them
selves to serve the government not less
than eight years, so these young men
will be obliged to take the usual two
years. cruise, which rounds out the
Annapolis course, at the end of which
time they will receive their commits
sons as assistant engineers in the
navy and be regularly assigned to duty.

THE SELF IMMOLATlONS.
What Was Found in Investigating the
Case of the Russian Fanatics.

London, June 10.-The correspondent
of the Daily News at Tiraspol, Russia,
who is Investigating the case Of self
immolation Of members Of the religious
sect, the Raskolniki, reports of which
have already been cabled, describes in
his second letter today the scenes at the
place of entombment. He says in the
space where the five victims were
crowded they were obliged to pack them
selves like sardines, heads and feet
alternately. One scooped cavity in
the clay wall with his fingers to give
room to lay his head. The victims
donned their best clothes, then their
funeral shrouds, and Frustrated them
selves resignedly and silently, always
in the presence Of some passive CO.
fanatic. There was not single invol-
untary move while Kovaloff and his
party covered them.
A report has just arrived at Tiraspol,
says the correspondent, Of such self
immolations practiced for years past at
the village Of Plotskoe, about 16 versts
distant, and the police have been Or
dered to make investigation.

The Queen Had Her Own Mind.

sNew York, June IL A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: Senior
Sagasta never advised the queen regent
to keep Premier Canovas and the con-
servatives in Office. On the contrary,
he had laid stress upon the expediency
of the advent of the liberals into office,
with a view to the recall of Weyler
and reversal of the whole policy fol-
lowed by the captain-general in Cuba,
in order to secure the sincere execution
of the reforms and improve the under
standing with the United States.
The liberals persist in their determi-
nation to hold aloof from parliament
hall relations with the government as
long as Canovas keeps the Duke of
Tetuan in the cabinet
Marshal Campos positively advised
the queen regent to select any cabinet
that would be willing to undertake a
more liberal policy in Cuba and recall
Weyler. Marshall Lopez, Dominguez
and Blanco expressed the same opinion.
Hence profound surprise was caused by
the solution of the crisis.

A Cuban Expedition.

New York, June ia dispatch to

Shepard Young, well-known local
military man, in an interview divulged
the details of secret Cuban expedi-
tion, which left Boston on May 23, and
picked up several recruits in New
York. Today he received cipher tel
egram from Jacksonville conveying the
news that they had just sailed from
that city on fas., light-dgaught

A movement has been started to or
ganize commissary commission to
supply stores. Colonel Young says:
81 conducted the drills in hall in
Boston, put them through infantry
tactics, cavalry tactics and artillery
tactics. Every man could load and
fire cannon, no matter what the size,
and swing saber or use bayonet
Not soldier left Boston until he was
drilled sufficiently to take charge of a
regiment. The tactics were taught in
this city mostly at night.
"We got word from New York that
a spy had been sent to Boston, but we
did not see him. The troops practiced
with the machete that is used mostly
for front cut. The machete is heavier
than saber, and the welding of one is
hard work, but the men soon learned t.
use it with skill"
