TO Send Money Instead Of Grain.

Washington. June S.-Louis Klopsch,
publisher Of The Christian Herald Of
New York, which had undertaken to
procure cargoes of grain to be sent to
the famine sufferers in India, has noti-
fed the navy department that the grain
on hand viii be sold and the money
forwarded to India instead as the best
and speediest means Of relief. Ac-
cordingly, the department has abandon
ed its efforts 10 secure a steamship at
New York to transport the grain TO
Bombay. Mr. Klopsch writes that the
delay in securing the ship was one of
the reasons for the change in plans.
Then, too, the Indian roads at this
time-the wet season-are very difficult
Of passage, while the natives, having
been made to believe by unscrupulous
native grain dealers that the Ameri-
cans have poisoned the wheat that was
to be sent to them, refuse to eat any
Of 1t under any circumstances.

WORKED FAITHFULLY
The Senate Has Disposed Of the
Lumber Paragraph.
DEBATE WAS At TINES VERY BREEZY
Mr.. Allison Says That the Committee VIII
Submit Amendments 60 the Sugar
Schedule Which win Post
pone It's Discussion.

Washington, June S.-The senate dis
posed Of the lumber paragraph. which
has been more stubbornly contested
than any feature of the bill thus far
by defeating the motion Of Senator
Vest to place white pine on the free
list-yeas, 20; nays, 80. The contest was
mainly significant in breaking party
lines, which have been maintained With
few exceptions during the early stages
Of the debate.
on the final vote eight Democratic
senators voted against Mr.. Vests prop
osition-namely. Messrs. Bacon and
Clay Of Georgia, McEnery of Louisiana.
McLaurin and Tillman of South Caro-
lima, Martin Of Virginia, White of Call
fornia and Rawlns of Utah.
on the other hand, Senator Carter
(Rep) and Messrs. Cannon and Man
tie (silver Republicans) voted for the
Vest motion. Following this vote to
substitute the Wilson lumber schedule
was defeated by a vote Of 2l TO 81. and
the schedule was agreed to as reported.
The debate preceding the vote was at
times very breezy, owing to the break
Of political lines.
Tobacco Schedule Next.
A general discussion Of the future
programme of the bill occurred before
the senate adjourned. 1t led TO a state
ment by Mr. Allison. in charge of the
bill, that the committee probably would
submit amendments to the sugar sched-
ule. For this reason he announced that
the sugar schedule would be passed
over for the present and the tobacco
schedule taken up.
Senator Quay gave notice of several
amendments he proposes offering to the
tariff bill. One Of these provides for
striking out the provision for duty on
tea and another for striking out the
Increase of the beer tax. The free ad-
mission of iron ore imported from mines
owned abroad by citizens of the United
States for their own use is also provided
for. Another amendment imposes a du-
ty of 10 per cent on all articles on the
free list until 1901, and a fourth strikes
out sections 4, 8, 6 and Z. These relate
to the internal revenue features of the
bill, including beer. tobacco, cigars, etc
The effect Of the adoption of the last
amendment would be to leave the pres
ent internal revenue law in effect.
Senator Allen introduced a resolution
providing for the appointment of a joint
committee composed Of three members
each of the senate and house committed
/ on claims to investigate all claims now
| pending which have been acted upon
favorably by either the senate or the
