THE NATION4I CIPTTAL,
Minister woodford's Fuli-Dress Uniform,
The Gunboat Helena.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The new gun
boat Helena will go into active service
July 7th. when she will be commissioned
at Norfolk with Commander w. r. Swim
burne i'm command. Her first duty will
be- with the fllbuster patrol on the Flori-
da coast.
Minister Woodford, with President Nc
Kinley's approval, will be presented at
the Spanish court I'm the full dress uni
form of brgadier general, Instead OF
being attired in evering dress, common
TO American diplomats abroad.
Hts military and naval aides, Captain
Bliss and Lieutenant Dyer, will also ac'
company him in uniform, while Secre-
tary Sickles, of the legation, who has
already gone 10 Madrid, will appear on
State occasions in the uniform Of major
OF the New York National Guard, TO
which rank he Is entitled as member OF
Governor Blacks staff.
The innovation, which Is, however, no.
wholly without precedent, is expected
to add considerable impressiveness to the
first official appearance of the new minis
ter i'm Madrid. and TO add materially 10
the distinction of the new minister IN
the eyes of Spanish Officials, contrasting
strongly with the plainness of the recent
American representation at the Castililan
court.

the President this morning Senator Platt
and Insurance Commissioner Payn let

George K. Bidwell and Wilbur f. Wake

IL was impoiitic and unwise TO unoef-
take it. A report WAS made accordlnsy
10 the caucus and a resolution adoptea
authorizing the presentation or an aihch"-
ment expressing In effect the terms ol
the Wilson law which makes II uniawfui
to form trust in imported arucies.
This report called out some vigorous pro-
tests. especially on the part OF the West
ern Senator'S but they were replied 10
with spirit. Ii was asserted among otner
things that the presentation or ne"
antitrust provision would lead 10 ions
debate. which could not be afforded AZ
the present time.
The success Of the proposition to recede
from the increased tax on beer ana the
temporary duty on tea led TO quite
prolonged discussion OF the amount of
revenue the bill would yield. Many Sena-
tors expressed the opinion that the vol
ume would not be equal to the demahus
OF the Government. II was in response TO
this view that "A determination was reach
ed TO provide for tax on stock ana
bond transactions. The details or this
scheme were not agreed upon, but were
left to the Finance Committee 10 perfect

volume Of imports the bill would produce
during the FIRST year OF its operation
more than 100000. 900 I'm excess of the re-
turns under the Wilson law. for the first
year It was in existence
Senator Allison said. however. that
these figures were misleading as the I'M
ports could not be expected TO be so large
and advised his fellow Senators on this
account not to accept them as an indl-
cation Of the possibilities Of tho bill.

The House VIII Make This Disposition OF
the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON. July L-When tire
tariff bill reaches the House after it has
nassed the Senate, It is not probably
tnat tfpre will be any attempt to oppose
tho motion which will be made either di-
rectIv bv Chairman Dingley or by the
oneration Of special order TO disagree
,o tha senate amendments and send the
hin TO conference. The Republican lead
crs do not think there Is any necessity
for debate until the bill is reported back
h,, the conferees and tho Democrats are
Inclined to the same opinion.
Mr. Balley, the leader Of the minority,
sald to-day that he would not oppose a
motion TO get the bill into conference,
provided the Republicans would agree TO
a reasonable time for debate when the
hill WAS reported back TO the House.
He thought three or four days for dis
cussion at that time would be sufficient.
Tho number OF contefees TO be appointed
On bahalf OF the House has not yet been
decided. nor the political division, but the
conferees win as usual DO the ranking
members OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee from each side. II Is probable
that there WIN be several conferees. The
political division may be to or to 8.
The Republicans members OF the commit
tee in their ranking order are Messrs.

kins. Grosvonor. Russell, Dolllver, Steel,
Johnson. Evans and Tanney, and the
Democrats Messrs. Bailey McMillin,

Tho estimate Of the time the bin Will

days. but the best opinion is that the
