The Tariff on Wool. (

Washington. June 19.-The advocates
in the senate of an Increase in the
duty on wool have held meeting and
decided upon the following as the rates
which they will ask the committee to
fix on wool:
First class. in grease. unskirted. 10
cents per pound; in grease, skirted, II
cents per pound if washed, double
these rates; If secured, treble.
Second class. in grease, unskirted. IL
cents per pound; in grease, slkirted. IS
cents; If washed, double; II secured,
treble.
Third class. worth not exceeding 6
cents per pound, cents duty; worth
over 6 cents, or not exceeding 10, 5
cents per pound; worth over 10 cents
per pound. s cents duty; If secured.
treble.
These rates are much higher than
those originally fixed by the senate
committee, and the wool men regard
them as more advantageous than those
of the house bill or those Of the Nc
Kinley law.
There were present at the meeting IL
or 15 senator's, representing all the
states in which wool is an industry of
special Importance.
The near approach OF the wool sched-
ule in the senate's consideration Of the
tariff bill has caused the subject Of the
wool duties to receive unusual atten-
tion. There was at one time a prospect
of a Republican caucus on the subject
but It was decided instead to present
the claims of the wool men to the
finance committee, with the hope that
they would concede the increases
asked.
If the concession is not made, eau
Gus IS probable.

Lost Torpedo Recovered.

New York, June 19.-The stray tor
pedo found on Monmouth Beach has
been recovered by the torpedo boat Por-
ter and brought to the Brooklyn navy
yard. The torpedo had not suffered at
all from its cruise. and when tested its
mochanlsms worked perfectly. In re-
turning up the bay the Porter had a
lively brush with the Sandy Hook boat
Monmouth. The Porter was under
one-third power, steaming with only
one OF her three boilers, so it was a
very close race. Despite her disad-
vantage the torpedo boat beat the big
steamer by a little less than half mile
in the run to the Battery.

enforced by a change in the personnel
of the supreme court of the United
