visit here after the president returns
The report of Consul General Lee
on the Ruiz case, Secretary Fay said
tonight, had not been received by
the state department. The report, how
ever, is in the city, having been
brought by Gen. Fishback, the secre-
tary who accompanied Mr. Calhoun on
his Havana trip. Mr. Calhoun ex-
pressed great surprise at the publica-
ton of what purported to be Gen Lees
report this morning. He said the docu-
ment had been sealed in Consul Gen
eral Lees Office, in the regular official
way, and delivered to Mr. Fishback,
who brought it to New York and to
Washington. He was unable to under
stand how it should have become pub
lie. Mr.. Calhoun talked with less free
dom than characterized his interviews
While in New York. He complained
that some of these had been exagger-
ated and had made him say what he
had not uttered. The commissioner
carefully refrained from expressing any
opinion as to the probable policy Of the
president in acting on the Cuban ques-
tion, declaring that he had been to the
island simply to learn facts and to re-
port what he had seen and heard.
This he had done. If he has formed
any opinion regarding the Ruiz case
Mr.. Calhoun politely declined to indi-
cate what it was.

WASHINGTON, June S.-W. ]. Cal

sioner sent to Cuba by President Nc
Kinley, arrived from New York this af-
ternoon at 4 o'clock He went immedi-
ately to the state department, where
Judge Day, the assistant secretary Of
state, was awaiting him, and together
they proceeded to the White house
They were shown into the cabinet room
where President Mckinley and Judge
Day listened to Mr.. Calhoun's descrp-
ton of the situation in the war-ridden
island and the conclusions reached by
him. Judge Day declined to be inter-
viewed tonight on the subject OF the
conference, further than to say it was
very interesting. Mr.. Calhoun has an
appointment to meet the president in
the morning, when he will again go

CURED early in the proceedings and
the Hawaiian question was apparently
lest sight of in subsequent proceed
lngs over the main features of the
schedule. The caucus was compelled
to adjourn at noon, when the senate
met, and was unable to take up any
olher question.
The text of the new sugar schedule
is as follows:
Sugars not above No. 16 Dutch standard in
color, tank bottoms, syrups of cane Juice
melade, concentrated melade, concrete and
concentrated molasses, testing by the po.ari-
scope, not above 70 degrees, one cent per
pound, and for every additional degree shown
py the polar.seopic test, three-one-h -hundredths
or one cent per pound additional and frac-
tions of a degree in proportion. and on sugar
ABOVE NO. 10, Dutch standard in color, and on
all sugar, which has gone through a process
OF refining one cent and ninety-five-one-
hundredths of one cent per pound; molasses
testing above 40 degrees and not above So
degrees three cents per gallon testing 56
degrees and above six cents per gallon :;
sugar drawings and sugar sweepings shall
be subject to duty as molasses or sugar, as
the case may he. according ID poiariscoPia test;
sugars, tank bottoms, syrups; cane juice
melada, concecrated melada and concrete
and concentrated molaSseS, the product of
any country which pays, directly or ind
rect.y, a. bounty on the export thereof
whether imported directly and in condition
as exported therefrom or otherwise, shall
II
duty equal to such bounty, or so much there
of as may be in excess of any tax collected
by such country upon such exported article
or upon the beet cane from which !. was
produced.
new paragraph is added reading as fol-
lows: That the duty on molasses, clayed
jaggery and other sugars testing not above
81 degrees by the polariscope, shall be one
tenth of one cent per pound less than those
imported by the preceding paragraph on the
corresponding tests of sugar.
The failure of the Republican caucus
today to take steps looking to the pro
lection of the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty has caused considerab BILE COM
n.ert, but the friends of Hawaii in the
senate say that the omission was due
to no other reason than the want 2f
sufficient time. They feel confident that
if the point had been reached, an
amendment similar to that proposed by
Senator Davis continuing the treaty III
force would have been accepted. They
base this assertion upon the manner il
which Senator Frye's speech was re
ceived and the side remarks made upon
the subject. They now express a be
lief that the finance committee will ac-
cept the amendment without caucus
action. Senator Frye's speech was an
appeal for the maintenance of the
treaty. He said that Pearl harbor was
csded to the United States in exchange
for the concession to Hawaiian sugar
by this country, and declared that its
abrogation at this time would be an
act of bad faith
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-06-09

WASHINGTON, June S.-The Repub-
lican caucus today was we'll attended,
nearly every Republican senator in the.
city being present. Great interest was
manifested in the caucus because 1t
was known that an effort was to be
made to secure a rev sugar schedule
and one which all Republican senators
could support. Senator Aldrich OR. -
was present and, after the caucus ad-
Journed, said, it was very successful
and that he felt that the Republics ms
were going to stand together on all
schedules of the bill and that an agree
ment would be reached where differ
ences of opinion existed Almost the
entire time Of the caucus was devoted
to consideration Of the sugar schedule;
other features where. there are differ
ences were not reached. No agreement
was reached in regard to the Hawaiian
treaty, and the committee is expected
to report some amendments or a pro-
vision which will not leave the matter
III any uncertain condition or abso-
lutely abrogate the existing reciprocity
provisions of the treaty.
An important feature of the caucus
was the determine ton reached to vote
together as a party, which insures
favorable action mail contested sched-
ules and the passage of the bill as ap-
proved by the majority. This deter
mination was reached upon a sugges-
ton made by Senator Thurston. This
suggestion led to the most interesting
incident of the CAUCUS, There had been
several references to the meeting as a
conference" Mr. Thurston objected to
this designation, saying that confer
ences never bound any one and that
he wanted it definitely understood
whether this meeting was to be bind
ing or a friendly chat without further
results. for if it was not to bind all
senators on all schedules, he would not
agree to abide by fthe decision upon
the sugar question:. This speech
brought Senator Hanna to his feet
with an earnest plea for party harmony
and united effort on all the features of

Poor Progress Toward Peace.
May Be Called to Fight for Existence
Bad Faith Charged.

LONDON, June 9.1sA dispatch to the
Daily Chronicle from Constantinople
says it is rumored that stormy scenes
have taken place during the sessions
of the peace conference and that Ger
man obstruction has provoked lively
Indignation among al majority of the
ambassadors.
LONDON-The peace negotiations
don't seem to make much progress and
there was considerable disquiet in
Athens last evening, caused by the
apparently reliable statement that the
negotiations were in danger of col
lapsing altogether. The ministers who
were questioned on the subject, how
ever, had no definite news of an Of
fetal character and expressed the opin-
ion that the report was without foun-
dation. 1t is said on good authority
that the powers are noyt trying induce
Turkey to sign general conditions, de-
fning broad limits within which Tur-
key and Greece should afterward set
tie details by direct negotiation
This is regarded at Athens with dis
may and as breach of faith on the
part Of the powers and as leaving
Greece to the tender mercies of the
sultan. 1t is believed by many good
judges at Athens that Greece may
yet have to fight for her very exist
ence. Already there are reports that
the Turks have advanced in the
Agrapha district, occupied several vii
lagos and are still advancing toward
the town of Agrapha. Greece has pro-
tested to the powers against this viola
ton of the armistice and Col. Tosama-
dos, the minister ofs,war, has gone to
Lamia.
Premier Ralli, who has conveyed the
thanks of the government to the Greeks
of New York CITY for five cannons, said:
THE government does not forget the
armistice is not peace. and that 1t is
its duty to be prepared for every even-
tuality.' The Greek newspapers all
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-06-09

publish the statement by Gen. Miles
that the positions at Thermopylae are
impregnable
Advices from Constantinople are
equally pessimist1c it is alleged that
Tewfiks Pasha, at Saturdays meeting of
the council of ministers, announced
that the Sheik Ul-Islam has issued a
decree declaring that territory once
acquired, by the sacrifice of Ottoman
blood, cannot under the Ottoman law
be surrendered. If this be true it will
require good deal of persuasion to
induce the sultan to retire from
Thessaly. In addition to this report
comes the runor that Bulgaria has
made an informal demand that Mace
dcnia with the exception of the province
of Adrianople shall be formed into
All autonomous administration.

ALIEN LABOR LAW

Fassed BY CnhsaiN to Club the United
States.
OTTAWA, Ont, June S.-The house
OF commons has passed the alien labor
bill. The bill is fac-simile of the
American bill, with two exceptions. In
the first place, While the American law
can be put in force by a custom house
officer the Canadian act can only be
enforced by the attorney general of
the Dominion or somebody whom he
authorizes to do so. In the second
place. the act only applies to the United
States. AS already said, the act will
never be put in force, but be used as
a measure of getting some satisfactory
arrangement with the United States.
