NO AGREEMENT REACHED.

Republican senstors Caucus on tho Ha-
wsiisn Treaty. 4
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The Repub-
ican senators were in caucus two hours
and devoted the entire time to an effort
to agree on course Of action to be pur-
sued with regard to the Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty in connection with the
sugar schedule of the tariff bill. The
meeting of the senate at 10 o'clock
forced an adjournment before there was
time to reach conclusion, and the eau
Gus dispersed to meet again at 4:30.
In the course Of his speech in the eau
Gus, Senator Frye said that the contem-
plated treaty Of annexation with Hawaii
would not contain, as did the former
treaty, provision appropriating $4,000
for ex-Queen Liliuokalani. The presi-
dent did not approve it and the Ha:
waiian government did not ask it.
The general opinion is that the ulti-
mate result will be an agreement to
continue the house provision, continu.
ing the present treaty in effect, coupled
with a recommendation to the president
to enter into negotiations for q new
treaty modifying the terms Of the pres.
ent treaty, but without limiting him
as to time. 49,,

WASHINGTON, June 14.-The sugar
schedule OF the tariff bill is expected to
continue to be the subject OF considera-

two. The Hawaiian treaty and anti
trust amendments are still to be dis
posed Of, and both will excite consider
able debate. With the sugar question
settled, the agricultural schedule, which
has been partially considered, will be
again taken up, and will in time be fol-
lowed by the tobacco schedule, if, in the
meantime, the Republicans agree upon
its provisions. The Republican man
ayers hope to also dispose Of the spirit
and cotton schedules during the week,
and possibly to make some progress
with the hemp and fax provisions. The
Republican managers now hope that
the debate in the senate will be con-
cluded within the next two weeks, not

Women Make Good Golfers.

When the men Of America were first
initiated into the mysteries of "bras-

some of these same men have been

energetic women to the joys of golf has

The action OF several leading
Democratic senators has made it
practically impossible for the tariff
question to be the leading issue in
the near future between the Re.
publican party and its opponents.
Eight Democrats from the South
voted for the 81 tariff on pine
lumber, the same element secured
a duty on raw cotton, and various
ones have voted tor duties on other
products Of the South. While
most Of the Democrats are as a
rule voting against the Republic
ans on the various schedules, there
are nearly always few Democrats
voting with them. Party lines
were drawn very close on the sugar
schedule, but the opposition was
not based on any antagonism to a
duty on sugar, but rather to the
particular schedule under discus.
sion. If the Democrats were fran.
ing the tariff bill thew would not
make the sugar rates much differ
ent from what the Republicans
will. The position Of the tariff
question practically leayes the pro-
lection principle as the policy of
the United States for years to
come. This is particularly fortu.
n ate. as manufacturers and invest.
ors can calculate with considerable
certainty.

FOR a SPORTING LEAGUE.
IN OrxanizatiOn Like the One In England
Would FlOurish Here.

In Orsanixation Like the One In England
Would Flourish Here.
In England the Sporting league is In
most Furnishing condition. At the
last election it was responsible for the
defeat of several men who, desiring to
10 to parliament, were VIGOROUSLY op-
posed to various forms and kinds OF
sport. These efforts naturally caused
the treasury to be heavily drawn on,
and to replenish its Golfers shilling
subscription was started, no subscrip-
ton or donation of more or less than
one shilling being solicited or received.
When the allotted time had elapsed,
1888 shillings had been subscribed
equal to 81, 500 or, approximately,
e38, 900. This sum naturally puts the
league in position to pursue pol
icy offensive or defensive, as it may
elect, and insures the prosecution Of its
aims and objects in the most thorough,
systematic manner. Furthermore, the
subscription Of shilling each by
161,812 persons proves conclusively
that the league has the active support
of very large percentage Of the people
who are in a position to enjoy recrea-
tive pastimes Of any sort. It farther
proves that the men elected to manage
the league have the confidence Of those
interested in the various sports and that
they may be trusted to do their duty.
The good that may be done on behalf
Of recreative sports and pastimes by 30
powerful and financially we'll equipped
IN organization cannot we'll be COM
puted, opportunity alone can set the
bounds, for it is evident that the public
has confidence that advantage will be
taken at every turn and attempts ut
prosecution boldly met.
In states where the lawmakers have
been called on to consider measures ad-
verse to racing the sport has invariably
been killed whenever efficient work
was not done on it's behalf. Naturally
breeders and owners Of horses and asso-
Citations hesitated to undertake large
expenditures individually, and az to
carry on, in the most straightforward,
above board, legitimate way, any legis-
lative warfare entails the spending Of
much money in lawyers fees. railway
fares, services Of many sorts, etc., the
results could not be other than disas-
trous. Given, however, the existence Of
large and powerful organization like
the English Sporting league, differed
BY men Of the highest standing and life
long experience in racing, men Of the
world enjoying high places in the esti-
nation of their fellows, equipped with
I'm abundance of funds for all legiti-
mate expenses and thoroughly in touch
with the people, and it would be an
easy matter to defeat or modify any
measure threatening the existence Of
any branch of sport or to secure the en-
actment of legislation looking to the
abatement of abuses Of power previous
" conferred.

New YORK Sun: The decline in
the production and selling price Of hay
is due to several causes. One and per-
haps the chief one, is the bicycle,
which has, to a great extent, super
seeded the use of horses; and another
is the substitution of electricity and
cable traction for horse power on sur
face railroads. The mileage Of these
surface roads in all the cities of the
United States is nearly $4,000, and the
use of electricity and steam power has,
by gradually reducing the number OF
horses required, reduced also the de-
mand for hay
