trr al the same rate as that lzed BY


try at the same rate as that fixed by
Canada.
At the same time that this protest
was being presented to the Senate
Finance Committee at Washington the
Canadian minister of finance was pro-
posing another slight reduction in the
new rate of duty on bituminous coal
in order to bring the Canadian duty
within the conditions OF the Senate
committees offer to reduce 10 60 cents
where reciprocal advantages are given.
Here stands the coal tariff situation
Of the two countries. The Mckinley
duty was rs cents per ton; the old
Canadian duty 60 cents. The present
United States duty is 40 cents; the
Canadian still so cents. The House
bill duty is placed at IS cents; the Sen
ate Finance Committee duty IS cents,
with a proviso that the duty shall be
so cents on coal imported from any
country. colony or dependency that
does not impose a rate Of duty higher
than named in the proviso. The
American duty is on the long ton OF
. 24O pounds; the Canadian on the short
ton of 1000 pounds. The other day the
Canadian finance minister proposed TO
reduce the duty from so TO 81 cents,
in order TO take advantage of the SEN
ate proviso. Discovering that this
would be a fraction over the Senate
proviso rate. and fearing advantage
would be taken OF this technical de-
feet. the minister revised the rate TO
SO cents per short ton, which is a frac-
ton under the conditioned American
rate of 60 cents per long ton. The
bituminous coal interests on this side
prefer the existing rate Of 40 cents per
ton if the Canadians will reciprocate'
The Canadian finance minister is will
ing TO make the reduction, as he asked
Parliament TO provide that in case the
United States. in response to Canada
offer reduced the duty TO 40 cents, this
would be the minimum duty for all
countries.

THEHAwAIIAN BUSINESS.

Arguments advanced in favor Of the
annexation Of the Sandwich Islands are
remarkable for their finishes and
lack of right and reason, which goes
quite a distance toward showing that
these alleged arguments are mere
cloak for a scheme which the advocates
dare no, bring 10 the front. 1t is
urged that il is necessary 10 annex
Hawaii 10 prevent the seizure or op-
nression Of the little country by an
other nation. What absurdity. We
were not compelled 10 annex Venezuela
in order TO prevent England from
Selling the territory or depressing that
country. We assure the independently
OF every Republic on this continent
without a thought Of annexation. we
sustain the Monroe doctrine and we
can maintain the independence Of
Hawaii and protect her rights without
the establishment Of a formal protec-
torate or the annexation of the terri
tory. We can assure them se,f-goyern-
ment in peace without assuming any
Of the responsibilities Of government or
departing hair-breadth from the safe
and sound policy Of avoiding ter~itor-
ial extension or foreign entaaglements.
We have only TO announce the policy
10 have it respected by the nations Of
the civilized world.
BY implication Mr.. Sherman clearly
and strongly conveys the opinion that
the extension of our limits IS bad
policy and tends to weaken the nation
and that new dangers would be in
viewed in the acquisition Of foreign ter
ri,ory.' What compensation would we
set for thus embark.ng IN a new and
dangerous political enterprise in oppo-
sition TO all our past tried policy? We
would get a fresh dent. new and
distant territory 70 defend and the re-
sponsibility Of the government Of a
mongrel people with most undesirable
elements. We get no material benefit
not assured 10 rs by treaty.
The fact is that several hundred
Americans have seized Hawaii and do
not know what TO do with it or how
10 let go. Some millions Of American
money are invested in Hawaiian prop
erty and bonds and the men in pos
session Of Hawaii want TO shift their
political troubles and the guardianship
Of their property to the shoulders OF
the United States. We are asked to
abandon the proved wisdom Of the
fathers TO lift them out Of hole.

81. Louis. June 24.-The terrific wind
and rain storm which prevailed to-day
was very destructive in the southwest
ern section Of the city, where are To-
Gated several Of the city institutions.
The poor houses suffered most. One
of the buildings in which were shell
tered Is inmates. all of them crippled,
was partly demolished, and glass was
shattered in the others. When the roof
was taken off the bricks fell in among
the patients, hitting a number, but
none was seriously injured. The storm
also struck the insane asylum. Not
much damage was done there, bur the
patients were terror-stricken.
Forest Park, one of the largest in
the country. suffered considerably,
trees being levell2d in every direction.
The weather bureau officials report the
downpour of rain the heaviest this sea-
son.
The storm was particularly severe on
the river towns, Keokuk, Alton and
Quincy suffering. Reports from
Springfield, Decatur, Efiingham and
other Illinois points, say the rain was
very heavy there.
A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE.
New Orleans, June 24.-The temper
ature this morning was down five or
six degrees from yesterday morning,
and a stiff breeze, followed by re-
freshing shower, helped materially TO
temper the intense heat from which
New Orleans has been suffering for the
past four or five days. No deaths have
been reported to-day, but in twenty
four hours ending last night. there had
been about ten prostrations.

COAL DUTIES AND CANADA.

Evidence has been repeatedly pre-
scented from the official statistics that
the increase in coal duties proposed in
both the House and Senate tariff sched-
uIes was uncalled for for either revenue
or protective considerations and would
work injury to the coal operators. coal
miners. coal railroads. and vessel in
terests Of the coal producing States
west Of the Alleghenies. 10 say nothing
OF the anthracite interests of the east
ern side. Canada Is the foreign Gus
toner for a very large portion of the
bitumiuous coal producing States. and
in comparison with the shipments Of
American coal TO Canada from these
States the imports of Canadian coal
into the Atlantic States are insignifi-
cant.
This position, il is pointed out by
he Cleveland Plaindealer. is supported
by the protest recently introduced in
the Senate Finance Committee against
the contemplated increase in the duty
from 40 cents 10 IS cents. II was sign
ed by nearly every coal producer, miner
and carrier in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
representing not less than 100000 men,
and conspicuous among the signers is
the firm of NJ. A. Hanna & Co. This Of
itself shows that the movement was
not Of apti-administration or anti-tariff
origin. The petition not only protests
against the excessive rate Of IS cents
per ton proposed. but argues that even
the suggested reduction TO so cents will
still leave the rate injuriously high.
The petitioners urge the insertion Of
a reciprocal clause that if Canada's
duty on our coal shall not exceed 80
cents nor be less than 20 cents. the
President may fix tariff rate on coal
imported from Canada into this coun-

Topeka. Kas., June 24.-The worst
hail storm known in the history OF
Kansas struck this city shortly after
6 o'clock tonight. Hail stones weigh
ing twelve TO sixteen ounces strip
ped the trees Of their foliage, smashing
window panes on every hand, inelud-
ing the finest plate glass store fronts,
cut down telegraph and telephone wires,
riddled awnings and inflicted unpre-
cedented damage throughout the city,
Dogs were. struck in the Streets and m
stantly killed. Horses were knocked
10 their knees TO rise again and dash
away in mad fright Runaways occur
red throughout the city. When the
fury of the storm had passed dead birds
were found everywhere. A heavy wind
and terrific lightning accompanied the
storm.
Topeka tonight looks like city that
has withstood a siege of war guns.
There are not a dozen buildings in the
town that are not almost windowless
and many roofs are caved in. The roofs
Of street cars also were pierced. The
damage wrought can better be imagin-
ed when il is known that the hail
stones ranged in size from that OF "a
hens egg 10 an ostrich egg. and that
thirty minutes after the storm one hail
stone was picked up which measured
fourteen inches in circumference. Sur
gcons are busy dressing the wounds Of
persons injured in the storm. and re
ports OF injuries continue to be re-
ceived. Many were. hurt in runaways
on the streets.
The following are among the most
seriously hurt:
Frank Bralnard. hackman, skull
fractured; j. D. Henderson. liveryman,
skull fractured; Roy White, leg broken
in a runaway; Mrs. Mary Hughes, arm
broken in runaway; D. Klee. bad
scalp wound; Miss Anna Fenton, head
cut; Fred Pollock head cut.
The damage cannot be estimated,
but it will amount to thousands. Win

Sheriff received word of another mvr-
der and the people are enraged. Joe
Bragg, a constable, deliberately shot
Tom Miller, a drunken man he was at
tempting to arrest at Stone Cliff, not
far from here, and coroner's jury
has decided that Bragg shall be held
upon a charge Of murder.
At Thurmond, where Bragg was jail
ed, mob formed TO lynch him. The
officials spirited Bragg away TO lodge
him in jail here, coming through the
woods by circuitous route. The mob
is on its way here and it is a question
whether the mob or the prisoner will
arrive here first. Sheriff McVay is sum-
moning citizens to help him guard

PROPOSES TO Bar E1-Senators Who Use
Their Privileges Improperly
/. Washington, June 24.-Mr. Hale, OF
Maine. came forward to-day with a
surprise in the form Of a proposed
amendment to the Senate rule admit
ting TO the privileges OF the floor OF
the Senate only ex-5enators who are
not interested in any claim or in the
prosecution of the same, or directly IN
anv bill pending before Congress. "
Added TO the text Of the proposed
change is the following: THE purpose
Of the proposed amendment is TO pre-
vent ex-Senators from enjoying the
privileges of the floor OF the Senate for
the purpose OF urging or opposing
claims or bills in which they are en-
ployed as attorneys.
Mr.. Hale stated that it was matter
Of satisfaction TO renew the aequaint-
snce and the association Of Senators
who had been members of the body,
buthe did not think it was compatible
with the dignity Of the Senate that the
privileges of the floor should be used
by gentlemen interested in pending
legislation,
NJ. Hawley suggested that there
might be some objection TO am point
ing out of ex-Senators and Mr.. Allen
asked what had taken place in recent
DAYS to call attention 10 the subject.
Mr.. Hale asked that he be not re-
quested to particularize. Mr.. Allen de-
clared that there had been no more
lobbying OF late than there had been
for years. At one time he had intro
duced a bill making it crime to come
on the capitol grounds with a view TO
lobbying on pending measures. 1t was
at a time when the pooling bill and
other measures were bringing lobbyists
from all parts Of the country. Why
not make it a crime, covering all lob
byists. he asked.
Mr.. Hale explained that he was not
seeking any such drastic measure.
Mr.. Allen again asserted that lobby
lists crowded the corridors and galleries
like crows in the trees.
The proposed amendment went over.

ANARCHISTS
Said to Be Responsible for the Awful
Holocaust at Paris, May 4.

Chicago. June 24.-The Post to-day
says: According TO story which has
Just reached Chicago from Paris via
Washington. the terrible holocaust
which wiped out over one hundred
lives at,the French capital. May 4, was
the work OF anarchists thirsting for re-
yenge on the upper classes Of France.
1t is claimed that while the official
inquiry into the circumstances sur
rounding the catastrophe threw little
light on the cause. of the fire. the Sc
cret service department is working on
a clew that points TO an anarchist con-
spiracy OF stupendous magnitude. II is
said the Paris detectives have not only
satisfied themselves that anarchists
were at the bottom, of the awful crime,
but that. the leaders who planned it
fed TO America as soon as they had
seen with what frightful success it had
been executed. 1t is also asserted that
several persons are under arrest in
Paris on suspicion OF knowing more
about the affair than they care 10 tell.
A member OF the French legation at
Washington is said 10 be authority for
the story.
