LEGISLATORS DlSORDERLY

3iotous Session Of the Arkansas House oi
Representatives
LITTLE Rock, Ark, June 9.-The
days session Of the lower house of the
legislature was the most disorderly that
has been witnessed in years. The ques'
ton under consideration was what is
known as the Smith bill, measure pro.
viding for the granting of rnredeemed
lands to a proposed railroad at the rate
OF 100 acres for every mile of road built.
The opposition sought to defer final
vote and excitement was intense. AT
hines the scene was almost riotous and
the services Of the sergeant-at.arms
were frequently necessary to maintain
dccorum, and at one time the speaker
was forced to suspend the session. The
bill finally went over until Friday.

Republican Senators Caucus on the Sugar
Duty.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Repub-
lican senatorial caucus voted to stand
together on all schedules in the tariff
bill. The caucus instructed the finance
committee to report new sugar sched-
ule. The new sugar schedule to be all
specific and on all sugar which has gone
through q process of refining 1876 cents
per pound duty instead Of 1875 cents
per pound as provided by the house.
Coarse raw sugars from the Phillip
pine islands and Java are to be ad-
mitted at Ito Of cent less than other
raw sugars.
The abrogation of the Hawaiian treaty
was discussed, but no conclusion reached
when the caucus adjourned.
The action Of Republican senators in
caucus probably means that the tariff
bill will pass the senate by July 1. Sen
ator German fixes the time for adjourn
ment as July 10.
Senator Frye asked the caucus to con-
slider the necessity Of protecting the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty and made a
speech in it's behalf. This occurred
early in the proceedings and the Ha-
waiian question was apparently lost
sight of in subsequent proceedings over
the main features of the schedule.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-W. J. Cal.
houn of Illinois, the special commits
sioner sent to Cuba by President Nc
Kinley, arrived from New York during
the afternoon. He went Immediately
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 descrip-
ton of the situation in the war-ridden
island to the conclusion reached by him.
Judge Day declined to be interviewed
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 over his impressions. To
reporters Mr.. Calhoun talked with less
freedom than characterized his inter-
views while in New York. He COM
planned that some Of these had been ex-
aggerated 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-
ton, 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 indicate
what it WAS.
