compound duties presented by the SEN
ate bill being for the purpose of making
this equality. The average rate in the
senate bill was rs per cent, with differ
entail of eighth Of a cent on re-
hned sugar. Senator Aldrich said that
this was not as advantageous to the
sugar refiners as the house bill This
explanation seemed to cause general
satisfaction. At least no one'questioned
the senator further. There was some
discussion upon the length of time the
bill should be under discussion in the
senate. Senator Mason suggested that
40 soon as the opening speeches were
made move should be taken toward
having a vote on the bill in two weeks
1t was decided to ask that after the de-
bate had run along for week the SEN
ate begin its, sessions at II o'clock and
sit until $50, and have evening sessions
from 8 to II p. m.
Debate on various schedules con sumed
the time of the caucus. A great deal Of
opposition was developed to the increas-
ed tax on beer and duty on leather.
Senator's Platt of New York and Hanna
of Ohio and Spooner of Wisconsin were
especially vigorous in their opposition to
the increased tax on beer. 1t was
pointed out that the Democrats had al
ready stated their opppsition to this tax,
that they thought it would be wise to
have an arrangement effected which
would relieve Republican senator's from
embarrassment. 1t was determined
that efforts should be- made to secure
the revenue both from beer and tea by
tax, which would accomplish the same
result. Western senator's referred to thr
wool schedules.
Senator Warren of fWyoming appeared
as the spokesman for the wool growers
Of the west. He said that the duties
proposed by the committee were in his
Judgment inadequate and he thought
there should be some increase on the
lines of the amendments proposed by the
western senators.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, spoke
against the duty on hides, saying he
did not see how he could avoid voting
for an amendment which proposed put
ting hides on the free list This state
ment raised. a storm among the west
ern men. who said that If such a method
was proposed, they would be compelled
to vote for placing certain articles on
the free list or for reducing the duty
on them. They did not expect that the
Democrats would vote. with them to
increase duties. The westerners an
nounced that to settle with the eastern
men who voted to reduce the duties on
their products they would vote to reduce
the duty on articles which their people
purchased but did not produce. 1t was
this state of affairs which brought
forth the proposition of Senator Bur-
rows, to submit proposed changest to the
Republican members of the finance com
mittee, and then to the caucus. There
was no talk of boiling, and no senator
said he would vote against the bill as
whole. 1t was on the matter Of sched.
ules that they, disagreed.

BRAZILIAN BATTLES
Weylerlistic Reports Sent Out by the
Authorities

NEW YORK, May PA dispatch to
the Herald from Montevideo says:
The federal troops were decisively de-
feated by the rebels at Rivera yester-
day. General Villar was in command
of the government forces and Lamos
led the insurgents, who captured seve-
raj gurs. Lamos was proclaimed y
general by his men on the field of battle
after the victory.
The Herald's correspondent in Rio de
Janeiro telegraphs that though the
government persistently denies reporc
that the fanatics have again defeated
the Brazilian troops at Canudor, there
is no reason to believe that the report
is not true and that the federal van
guard was repulsed with heavy loss.

WORTH CONSIDERING.

The following from the Winona
Herald is worth consideringby Manka-
to merchants, as wellas those of Vino
ma, in connection with the successful
trade excursions to the latter city:
A plan was proposed today sbY a
Winona business man which looks
feasible, and can be worked on the
Northwestern and Milwaukee roads if
desired, without interfering with
their Western Passenger Association
rules. The scheme is to have the
excursionists pay the railroad the
usual fare, but to have Winona
cashier for the merchants who, upon
presentation of proper coupon,
would refund certain cash discount.
This discount would in all probability
not more than equal, at the most,
the amount of guarantee which would
have to be put up for special train.
The idea proposed is worth bearing in
mind it the next merchants meeting.
