DEMOCRATS DISAGREE ON
LUMBER DUTY.
DOES NOT SUIT MR.. JONES
Ihe Arkansas Senator Argues Against
the Rates In the Senate BIII-Mr
vest Makes Some Sharp Re-
marks Along the same Line
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia
Replies.

WAsHfNGToN, June 7.-On the open
ing of the Senate to-day the consider
alton of the tariff bill was resumed.
Tne first paragraph of the wood sched-
ule, relating to hewn timber, etc. was
agreed to at \ cents per cubic foot
When the paragraph relating to
sawed boards, planls, deals, etc, was
reached, Mr.. Jones of Arkansas
spoke of an additional tax on Ium-
Der, referring to the heavy burden it
imposed on the people of the West
lie said the rates of the bill were the
result of systematic effort by the
lumbermen, and in this connec-
tion read letter from the National
Lumber convention, urging that petit
tions to Senators and members be pre-
pared, bearing the names of working
men. This, Mr.. Jones declared, was
the means by which the high rates
were being urged.
Mr. Vest said there was not single
item in the bill SO utterly indefepsible
as that increasing the rate on white
pine, taking it from the free list and
placing it at 81 per 200 feet, and max
ing the duty absolutely prohibitory on
this wood
Mr. Bacon, Democrat, of Georgia,
made vigorous response to the at
tack by Mr.. Vest on the lum Der sched-
ule, especially the white pine rates.
Mr.. Bacon said the average rate of the
schedule was only 20 per cent, and
that he would support it.

BULLET PROOF CLOTH.
The Invention of Chicago Priest Sue
cessfully Resists A. CaIiber Bullets.

Ine Invention OF Chicago Priest Sue.
cessfuuy Resists 4-CaIiber Bullets.
CHICAGO, June with the dead
body of woman for target, the bull
let proof cloth invented by Casimir
Zeglen, clustered bro ther of the or
der of Resurrectionists, was tested
last evening at the Chicago college of
dental surgery in the presence of
number of professors, army officers
and citizens interested in the science
of bodily armor. The test was con-
Quoted under the supervision of Lieu
tenant Stanislaus de Korwin Sarnecki
of the Austrian army.
A 44-caliber Colts revolver was first
put into practice, after the upper por-
tion of the body had been incased in
the alleged impenetrab BILE cloth. Thirty
shots failed to pierce the cloth, fred
at distance of from three to fifteen
PAGES.
A 3Scaliber revolver was then
brought into use, and the representa-
tive of the inventor demonstrated that
it was impossible to penetrate the
texture with such a missile.
While the cloth or outer portion of
the armor had been disfgured only
slightly an examination later by DR..
Leon c. Borland revealed the fact that
two of the ribs on the right side of the
body had been shattered by the force
of the bullet coming in contact with
the cloth. Aside from the bruises in
those parts of the body in which the
bullet came in direct contact, there
was no indica tion that the bullet had
been directed against it.

DEBT CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Banker Person Kills himself, to Pay
an Importunate Creditor

tanker Person Kills himself to Pay
an Importunate Creditor
CHICAGO, June 7.-Charles Z. +. Per-
son, the Bella Plaine, Kan, ex-banker
who took poison in the Grand Central
hotel yesterday and died at midnight,
seems to have taken his life in order
that a debt might be paid.
One of the letters found in the mans
room was addressed to a man named
Bowman, who lives in st. Louis. 1t
stated that Person was indebted to
Bowman. and that Bowman was the
least of a number of creditors 1t
seems. according to the letter, that
Bowman had been pressing his claim
for the money and that Person had
been unable to raise it. In the
letter Person censures bowman
severely, saying that had Bow
man wished he could have assisted
Person in his time of trouble, instead
of pressing him for the money he was
unable to raise. In concluding the
letter, Person states that Bowman is
his last and only creditor, and insinu-
ates that the money would be paid.
The letter hints at suicide and the po-
lice say that Person took his life in
order that Bowman might be paid out
of the insurance money.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Captain W.
ID. Smith of the Cuban army spent con-
siderable time again yesterday with
the Senate committee on foreign rela-
tions. In brief interview he said:
Tho Cuban army is now in better
cond tion to resist the Spaniards and
to maintain the fight for independence
thin it has been since the beginning
of the war General Gomez has
a well disciplined army of about
10000 men who are determined to
hold out until their efforts shall be
crowned with victory. Our soldiers
are rapidly procuring arms, and every
day serves to out them on a better
footing in this respect. Our troops
enjoy vast advaLtag over the Span
iards, in tn 1T they are not in iuriously
affected by the climate. l may say
that l have not seen a case of vel
low fever or smallpox among the
Cuban soldiers since l have been
on the island, and that 1 have
not been sick a day myself Further
moro, we have no difficulty in feeding
our troops. In the portion of the
country in which the Cuban troops are
in control, the provisions are protect
ed, and we draw our supplies from
this source. Our commissary is, there
fore, regularly renewed and our sup
plies are received in quantities quite
sufficient to meet all our wants.
In reply to a question, Captain Smith
said: ''All talk about autonomy and of
Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not man in
the Cuban army who will agree to ac-
cept anything short Of absolute indie

Allowing Omcials Full Terms.
WASHINGTON, June THE rule an
nounccd shortly after the administra-
tion assumed charge that postmasters
would be allowed to serve out their
full terms unless removed for cause
has been modified and it is expected
that wholesale appointments to post
Offices Will be made soon.
1t was officially announced to-day
that the President and the postmaster
general will consider as having ex.
pirsd all postoffices which are due to
expire between now and July 15 1t
is understood that the matter was dis
cussed and the decision reached at to-
days cabinet meeting.
The reason assigned for the change
is that it is the desire of the postoffice
department to fill as many offices as
possible before the expiration of the
fiscal year, July l, in order that ac-
counts may be begun with new
quarter.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's Reports That Business
Shows Pronounced Inactivity.
NEW YORK, June 7.-Bradstreet's
says: The only favorable features of
trade are encouragement at the out
look for fall business and improve
ment in demand and prices of iron aud
steel. Crops at the Southwest, partic-
ularly Texas, have improved with
seasonable rains, and the prospect ia
vors larger exports of wheat for the
Pacific coast. A fairly satisfactory
jobbing trade continues at leading
cities in Northwestern spring wheat
states. Business, as whole, shows a
pronounced inactivity, and the ten
dency of funds is to accumulate.

Americas Monetary COmmissioners, Not
Speaking French, Arc HandIcapped


Speaking French, Are Handicapped.
PARIS June I'm spite of the COR
diality which the United States
monetary commission has been re-
ceiving on all sides in France, it is
not believed that anything practical
is to be accomplished here. Much
had been made of the utterance of NJ
Melin, the French premier, at last
weeks banquet, but he carefully
pointed out that he spoke in his name
and not in behalf of the government of
France. 1t is also known that he has
declared France would not take the
initiative until certain that Great Brit
ain would take part in the movement.
Unfortunately for their usefulness
in France, at least two out OF the
American commissioners do not speak
word of French. The awkwardness
of this was shown at the banquet,
when the American visitors could not
respond to the toasts.

Both Parties in Spain Weary or the

MADRID, June 7.-Everyone is con-
vinced that the main question at issue
in the present crisis is the selection of
a new governor of Cuba capable of
convincing the people that Spain is
earnest in the matter of colonial re-
forms. The crisis is likely to be pro-
longed, but there is significant
change of tone visible in the Conserva-
tive papers, which are beginning to
hint that the future fate of the Con-
servative party is not altogether de-
pendent upon Captain General Weyler.
The impression gains ground that
rather than see the Liberals in Office,
the Conservatives would consent to
recall Weyler, and it is believed that
Marshal MARTINEZ Campos is willing to
replace him.
