THE SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Ut VIII Probably BE Taken Up Monday
if Senator AIdrich Is Well.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Senator Allison,
who, in the absence of Senator Aldrich,
has charge of the tariff bill, expressed the
opinion to-day that the sugar schedule
would be reached in its order on Monday,
and that it would be taken up then if
Senator Aldrich by that time should have
so far recovered as to be able to take
charge of the schedule on behalf of the Re-
pubicans If Mr. Aldrich finds it impossi-
bic to be in the chamber when the schedule
is reached the Republicans will ask that
it be passed temporarily because of his gen
orally conceded superior information on the
subject. Senator Allison says however,
that it is his desire that the schedule should
be disposed of as promptly as possible
There is a possibility that the tobacco
schedule may also be passed over in case
Senator Aldrich is not able to be present
when it is reached in it's regular order.
The advocates of a higher duty on wool
are quite confident from assurances re-
ceiVed from members of the finance COM
mittee to-day that they will secure an IN
crease over the rates originally reported Dy
the committee of an average of a cent
pound. This increase would give duty OF
cents on firSt-clasS wool, 10 cents on sec
ond and cents on the lower quality of
third-class wool. They are also hopeful
that the dividing line in third rate woods
can be lowered to cents. Senator Warren
is among those who expressed the opinion
says that if the changes are ordered the
schedule will be fairly satisfactory TO the
wool interests. Senator Warren also eX-
pressed the opinion that if necessary to
appeal to the Republican caucus the in
creased rates will be assured, as he has a
promise of the support of a majority OF
the Republican senators in aid of the prop
osition
The Senate committee on finance to-day
decided to recommend several minor
amendments in the wood schedule as re-
suit of last nights hearings. The most i'm
portant of these were the following: In
creasing the rate of hewn timber and round
timber used for spars Paragraph 1927 from
cent to 113 cents, per cubic foot; with
drawing the amendment striking out the
House duty on kindling wood; increasing
the rate on laths from Is to % cents per
1000 pieces; restoring the House rate of 30
cents per 1000 on shingles, which the COM
mite reduced to % cents; restoring the
specific House rate on toothpicks and strlk-
ing out the ad valorem rate; withdrawing
from the amendment to Paragraph 1874
(paving streets, etc) which struck out
the words "or other woods, the effect
being to leave the House rate of 20 per
cent. adj valorem in effect. No change was
made in the rate of 81 per 1000 feet on
sawed lumber.

PRED" says the Washington Star tonight,
that President Mckinley was extremely
DESTROYS that Gen. John w. Foster, of In
diana should represent this country in a
diplomatic capacity at Madrid, and that he
rendered him the office of minister and that
Mr.. Foster declined it on the ground that
his physical condition did not justify his
undertaking the responsibilities of the Of
flee under existing conditions. There was
special fitness in the selection. General
Foster is an accomplished diplomat and is
particularly well informed on Spanish af
fairs. He visited that country during the
administration of President Harrison and
successfully negotiated a reciprocity agree
ment between the two countries. AS is we'll
known, he is now special mission to
England and Russia looking to the concu-
sion of an international agreement for the
preservation of the seal herds. Although
not exactly a sick man, his active life
and arduous duties for many years past
have so affected his constitution that it is
necessary that he should husband his
strength. The President was disappointed
at his decision, but felt the force of his
reasoning and is now looking elsewhere for
a good man for the place. An appointment
as minister to Spain will be made shortly"
An Associated Press dispatch says: 1T
is the prevailing belief at the White House
that President Mckinley will nominate the
new minister to Madrid in the course of a
week. Six names have been under con-
sheraton so it is stated emi-officially.
Three Of them are believed to be Gen. b. f.
Tracy, of New York; ex-senator John b.
Henderson, of Missouri, and Representa-
tive Hit, of Illinois. The last named, it is
said, has been rendered the post, but does
not desire it,
Special Commissioner Calhoun will reach
Washington from Havana next Monday
Tuesday. 1t is understood that ex-Repre-
sentative Aldrich is to be appointed consul
general at Havana, and that his appoint
ment will be made in the near future Con-
sui General Lee has practically closed up
the present work upon which he has been
engaged and the way is now open for the
appointment of his successor.

DURRANT PLEASED.
Made Merry i'm Prison When He Heard
His Execution Had Been Delayed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June A. - Theodore
Durrant will not be hanged on next Fri
day. His attorneys have gained for him
a new lease of life for four months at least.
The condemned man made merry in his cell
last night when he heard the cheerful
news. He had become resigned to his fate
and his fearful eyes had turned to the
Bible as his only solace when information
was received at the prison that Judge Gil
bert of the United States Circuit Court,
had granted his attorneys permission to a2-
peal to the United States Supreme Court
from his order made on Wednesday de-
nying the application for writ of habeas
corpus. The appeal was perfected to-day
when Theodore Durrant S father filed a bond
in $500 to cover the costs of the appeal.
Even If the appeal should be dismissed
early in the term the thirty days allowed
by the state law between the time when
the day for execution is fixed and the day
of execution would carry the matter pretty
well toward the end of the year. Tne pos
siblites for further delay so numerous
that practically he has an insurable lease
of life into the new year. No formal stay
of execution, however, has been given. At
torney General Fitzgerald has not yet adj
vised Warden Hale not to proceed with the
execution June II, but he has given
in the Worden case and the Durrant case
stands on precisely the same footing Dur
rants attorneys regard their immediate Ia
bors in his behalf as at an end and are
preparing for their next effort which will
be before the United States Supreme Court

TREACHEROUS SAVAGES.
Crew of Schooner Attacked by Ma
tives of the Solomon Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO, June E--Advices per
steamship Mariposa from Sydney N. S. W..
state that another tragedy has been enacted
by the treacherous natives Of the Solomon
islands presumably for cannibalistic pur-
poses. While trading in Navarro lagoon,
Captain Wilson, of the schooner Navarro
went ashore in a boat with three natives
TO obtain copra. AS the islanders appeared
to be friendly the crew of the boat accepted
their invitation to accompany them to their
village near by, but Wilson decided to re-
main with the boat When out of sight Of
Captain Wilson the islanders attacked the
crew, killing one on the spot and wounding
the others. The latter, however, made a
dash for the boat, but only one managed
to reach it, as Wilson was compelled TO
sheer off the shore and the murderous ma
tives overlook the other wounded sailor as
he was swimming out TO the schooner. VIII
son reached the vessel in safety and re-
PEELED one attack by firing upon the in
vaders. who were evidently determined to
kill the remainder of the crew.

THE COST OF SENATORIAL DELAY.

The present session of Congress convened
on March 10 and the Dingey tariff bill was
reported from the ways and means COM
mittee the next day. On the same day Mr..
Dingley gave out statement covering the
main points of the bill and giving an esti-
mate Of the revenue it would afford. He
added:
These estimates are below rather than
above the probable result unless a consid-
cradle delay in the enactment of the bill
should greatly enlarge the opportunity for
imports OF articles on which duties are to
be raised-particularly wool and woolens-
Tor speculative purposes. Undoubtedly any
delay beyond the LIST of May n placing
the bill on the statute book would result in
large loss of revenue.
Mr.. Dingley knew that the bill would
pass the House promptly, but he evidently
feared delay in the Senate. The bill passed
the House on March 81 fifteen days after
it was introduced. The statement above
quoted shows that Mr.. Dingley thought it
would be possible for the bill to become
law by May 1, and he predicted a large loss
of revenue if it did not become law by that
time. He gave the Senate a month in
which to dispose of a bill that had occu-
have been enough. But the Senate is
proverbially slow when not viciously OBJ
structive. The bill has been before that
body more than two months, the entire
month of May has passed and now nobody
believes the bill will pass before the LIST
worst apprehensions in regard to delay in
passing the bill have been realized, and the
facts show that his prediction in regard to
loss of revenue if such delay occurred has
been verified. The House attempted to
partially head off excessive importa-ions by
providing that the duties imposed by the
bill should take effect from May l. This
retroactive provision was Objectionable on
some grounds, but no doubt it would have
had some effect in staying the tide Of i'm
portations. The Senate struck it out, so
that, in addition to its slow action, it threw
the door wide open for the rushing in of
foreign products. The result was as might
have been expected. The importations dur
ing the months of April and May were the
largest in the history of the country. Those
of May have not been footed yet, but those
of April were the largest on record, and
May will doubtless exceed April. The April
importations since and including 1894 the
last year of the Mckinley law, were as
follows: In April, 1894. $50, 900, 037; in April
1895, $6S, ,95S; in April 1896, S5S649,597; in
April, 1897, $101, 905 131. These figures include
goods on the free list as well as dutiable
importations. In April, 1887, the free i'm
portations were $5O,913, 1876 and the dutiable
$50, 49,, 1896. Assuming that the importations
during May were as large as those in April
and they were probably larger, here is a
total of $2O0O00,0O worth of foreign goods
imported since the tariff bill has been in
the Senate, from which the government has
got either no revenue at all or else the low
rates of the present tariff The delay of the
Senate has cost the government many mil
lions of dollars, and the bill of costs is still
running

The old town of Salem, Ind, enjoys a
distinction which is probably not possessed
by any other town of nearly its size in the
United States. Although situated only forty
miles north of the Ohio river and having
population of $500, there is not a colored
resident of either sex in the place. The
fact is probably due to the reputation
which the town and the county of Wash
ington, in which it is situated, got before
the war for hostility to negroes. Old inhabi-
tants say that nearly fifty years ago there
were quite a number of colored persons liv-
ing in the county, but after several had
been killed the survivors migrated, and for
many years past there has not been negro
in Salem except to pass through. Probably
there is not in the United States another
town with $500 inhabitants and not a sin
gle cOlOred person.

If any reader of the Journal thinks he
unites good executive ability with knowl-
edge of the soils he can enter a free-for-all
race for a snug office. The civil-service
law provides that in addition to general
examinations the commission may hold
special examinations for appointments to
positions in the classified service requiring
special or technical qualifications. Such an
examination will be held at Washington on
July 20 for establishing a register from
which appointments may be made to the
position of assistant chief of the division of
soils in the Agricultural Department. The
salary of the position is $1,S00 per annum
The department gives notice that it is es-
pecially anxious to secure for the position
a person possessing good executive ability
as we'll as a thorough knowledge of the
several subjects of the examination All
intending applicants are, therefore. re-
quired to submit to the commission, not
later than July 10, an original essay, either
printed or in manuscript form, consisting
of not less than five thousand words, and
containing thorough treatment of the
subject of Environment as affecting the
yield, quality and time of ripening of
crops" This paper should fully cover the
relation of climate, soil and other condi-
lions to the functions of plants with spe-
cial reference to the commercial aspect OF
the subject. Citations should be given of
authors or works referred to, together
with a brief photography of the more i'm
portant works pertaining to the subject.
There should also be indicated an outline
of Investigations along these lines which
might be proitably pursued.

STOP CROAKING.
A Cheerful Face Helps to Restore
Business Confidence.
Washington Post.


Times are not made easier but harder,
by croaking. Although it may temporarily
mitigate the unhappiness or an amateur
political economist, or any SUFFERER from
dullness of business, to grumble about the
present and predict worse for the future,
il adds not a cent to his income, 1t only
strengthens a. dsagreeable habit tends to
sour his temper, makes him an unpleasant
member of a family, and an undesirable
companion And there are other effects OF
croaking more serious than these merely
personal considerations. 1t actually in
creases the intensity and proiongs the dura-
ton of period of financial and industrial
depression. The louder the chorus of grum-
bling the greater the impression ii makes
on the minds OF capitalists and business
men, and the more Respondent they get the
less inclined they are to go into any opera
tions or enterprises that will furnish en-
ployment to labor and help to dispei the
general gloom. Doubtless, we should have
hard times occasionally II all the people
were as jolly as Mark Tapley, but a cheer
full and courageous spirit, in lieu OF the
general prevalence Of croaking and whin-
ing, would take the fangs out OF panlcs'
and tend to an early restoration OF con-
fidence and resumption of activity all along
the industrial lines.
1t is entirely safe to say that half-and
think much more-of the hard times
grumbling is done by those who have not
only not suffered from hard times, but nave
been substantially benefited thereby. All
persons who hold salaried positions ana
have held on TO them without material re-
duction of salaries nave seen, since Ihe
disturbance began in 1883, the very DesC
times they ever saw, and better than we
hope they will ever see again from the
same cause.-the enhanced purchasing power
of money by reason OF an unexampled re-
duction in the price of the products of labor.
There is some excuse for the croaking or
a man out of work and vainly hunting Tor
employment but one hears far less COM
plant from that man than from his neigh
Dor who has received just as many dollars
a month since the crash or Tour years ago
as he ever received in the nusn times pre-
ceding that upheaval.
The Post does not believe that the coun-
try is going TO the dogs, or that the re-
turn of prosperity will be long deferred. We
have the same natural resources that we
had In 1892, and our acquired facilities for
business are greater than ever before. AL
ready there are indications of Improvement
in many directions, Let US all get over the
habit of looking for trouble. and let us
determination TO reform him. There is no
other country on earth so rich as ours In
ali the elements of prosperity.
