Republican Members Hear Both
Sides of the Controversy.

Washington, June 1.-THE Republican
members of the committee on finance to-
night heard the Representatives of the
two sides of the controversy on the duty
on lead ore. There has been q persistent
effort since the committee increased the
rate from ! cent 10 IL cents a pound to
have the house rate restored. and even to
secure the restoration Of the rate in the
Wilson law. which is q of a cent per
pound. THE contest. in a general way,
IS between the smelte-s. who want to
secure the huxiDg ores from Mexico, and
the miners of these ores in Idaho Mon
tana. Colorado and other lead producing
states The smelling interest was reore-
sented at tonight's meeting by Senator
Thurston of Nebraska and Senator Baker
of Ka2sas. and the mining interest by
Senator Garter of Montana and Senator
ShouD OF Idaho. II was represented on
behalf of the smelte-s tkst II TIE duty
was retained as provided by the finance

be TO dri.-e most of the American smeit-
err out of existence and add immensely
to ~he smelling interest of Mexico.
On the other hand. Senator Carter con-
tended that western miners were entitled

Mexico. He said that the characterization

without imposing this additional one. The

College Crews Have Quite a Variety
of Weather.


PoIghkeepsie. n. Y, June 15.-The
college crews had quite variety of
weather today.
There were several changes in the
Columbia freshmen boat. Cowles
boarded the launch and followed his
varsity crew down the river. coaching
them with renewed vigor. This eight
are about the heaviest on the river
and they row as if there is lot of
power in the boat, but there is room
for much improvement. Their blade
work especially on the starboard side,
is quite ragged.
The Harvard varsity eight got out
at o'clock in their davy boat and
Coach Lehman took them down to the
starting point of the course, where he
sent them off on a trial spin of one
mile The crew started at their nor
MAJ stroke OF 80 to the minute, which
they hit up to "a.
The Pennsylvania varsity and fresh
men crews left their boathouse at Sis
p. m, rowing up the river. At the ice
houses the youngsters lay to. while the
varsity went On UP to the starting
point, where they turned and came
back down the river. AS they started
on the second mile the freshmen
picked them up ard rowed them a
good race for a mile. Then the varsity
drew away from the little fellows and
gradually yidened the gap all the way
to the end of the course.
The hour for the big race has been
set al $3.50 sharp.

Denial From sister-in-Law.

New York, June 15.-Afiss Alice Hol-
brook, the ister-in-law of the late Bar
ney Barnato. was much indisposed to-
day and suffered from the shock, but
she consented TO speak to reporters in
order to clear uD certain misconcep-
tons, she said. AS to the circumstances
of Barnato's death she had no direct
knowledge. The statement that she
had received a cablegram was an error,
she said. Five days ago, however, she
received a letter from her sister, Mrs
Barnato, in which Mrs Barnato said
that her husband was quite melan-
choly and much upset over business
He was very busy and much worried
There was no hint, however, that his
mental condition was serious.
Miss Holbrook wished to DENY many
of the stories told about Barnato's
life.
He was rot London street waif.,'
she caid. He came of a good English
Jewish family as we do. My sister
was never a barmaid. Mr.. Barnato was
never a circus clown. and I did net

SENATE AND SUGAR.
QUITE A STRIDE MADE FOR
WARD YESTERDAY.
Provision Relating to Hawaii the
Storm Center-The Agricultural
Schedule-Pettigrew and Trusts.

Washington, June 15.-The senate
made a great stride forward today by
completing the consideration of the
sugar schedule Of the tariff bill, except
the provision relating to Hawaii, which
went over.
This schedule has been the storm
center of the entire bill. and with II
disposed of there is a better prospect
for speedy action on the bill as whole.
The first paragraph of the sugar sched-
ule has served to bring out all the
speeches and the test votes, and when
this was passed, early today, the other
paragraphs Of the schedule were agreed
10 without further opposition. AS
agreed to, the schedule places on sugar
not above No 16 Dutch standard l cent
per pound, and .03 of a cent for every
degree above IS; and on sugars testing
below 81 degrees Ito cent per pound
shall be deducted The other provisions
of the schedules relates to maple sugar,
maple syrup. candy. etc.
Only one yea and nay vote was taken
during the day, on the amendment of
Mr.. Lindsay Of Kentucky to make the
rate * per cent per pound on sugar
above 16 Dutch standard.
The amendment was defeated-32
to 35.
The Pettigrew amendment, relating
to trusts. was then taken up and dis
cussed at length. 1t developed con-
siderable divergence of views on both
sides of the chamber, the two Alabama
senator's, Messrs. Morgan and Pettus
joining Mr. Hoar in opposition.
MIR. Allison flAally tested the sense of
the senate by moving TO tackle the
amendment. which motion prevailed,
yeas 30. nays 80, two Democrats, Nor
san and McEnery, voting with the Re
publicans to table, and thus turning
the scale against the amendment.
Consideration of the agricultural
schedule was then resumed, the butter
paragraph being agreed to as passed.

CABINET CHANGES.
They Are Now Being Discussed in
Berlin.

Berlin.
Berlin, June 15.-The National lei
tung says it is rumored that Emperor
William will receive Prince HohenIohe.
the imperial chancellor, and DR.. MIGUEL.
the minister of finance, in audience.
Their consultation is said to be con-
nected with changes in the Prussian
ministry of finance, the presidency
Of the Prussian cabinet and the i'm
per.al home office, besides the appoint
ment of a deputy chancellor
The Times correspondent at Berlin
says:
The plan appears to be for DR.. Mi
quel 70 resign the portfolio of finance
and TO replace DR.. Boetticher in all
the latter's Offices, namely, the depart
ment CT interior, the presidency of
the bundesrath and the presidency
of the Prussian ministry. The signifi-
canoe Of such a scheme lies in the as
sociations of DR.. MIGUEL. who is per-
soma grata to Emperor William with
Prince Hohenlohe. who placed him in
practical control of the home affairs of
both Prussia and the German empire.
1t must be borne in mind that the port
folios of the navy. the foreign secretary
and the Dcstmast er-general are now
practically without holders. There is
room, therefore, for extensive changes
