The Tarin' Bill.
Passed bv the senate by Decisive

crats, one Popuis,, Harris of Kansas, and
one silver Republican, Cannon Of Utah.
Eight Republicans were paired for the bill
and eight Democrats against it. Five
opulists-Allen, Butler, Hei,feld, Kyle
and Stewart and two silver Republicans
Teller and Pettigrew-wh were present
did not vote.
Following the passage of the bill reso-
ution was agreed to, asking the House for
conference, and Senators Allison, Al
drich, Platt of Connecticut, Burrows,
Jones OF Nevada, Vest, Jones Of Arkansas.
and White, were named as conferees on
the part Of the Senate. The bill as it goes
back to the House retnacts the antitrust
sections OF the Wilson act, while the recip-
rocity and retalatory provisions are sub
stitutes for those of the House
one of the most important new prCvis-
ions added by the Senate is that placing a
stamp tax on bonds debentures and Ger
tiiicates of stock. There is to be a tax of
five cents share Of 500, or fraction Of
the face value of capital stock or of bonds
on their issuance, and of two cents for each
500 or fraction on each transfer Of stock
or bonds United States and state bonds
are exempted, as are individual bonds to
secure mortgages, and also the stock and
bonds of mutual benefit building associa-
tions. This provision was prepared by
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, and the
claim is made that it will produce not less
than 100000 of revenue annually.
Aside from these more important
changes, the bill as it goes back to the
House has 81 amendments which must be
reconciled between the two branches of
Congress.
No definite arrangement has yet been
made as 20 the time to be allowed for de-
bate when the bill is reported back from
conference. The conferees of the House
will be Messrs. Dingley, Payne, Dalzell.
Hopkins, Grosvenor, Bailey, McMilin and
Wheeler, The expectation on the Senate
side is that the greatest contention will be
over wool, sugar, hides, lead ore and bur
laps, but the senators profess to believe
that there will be comparatively little diff
Guilty in reaching an understanding. As to
the length of the conference Chairman
Dingley said the conference on the McKin-
ley bill lasted two weeks, and that there
were not as vital points of difference be-
tween the two Houses then as now. SEN
ator Aldrich said: "We ought to conclude
the conference in four or five days and be
prepared to adjourn by the 10Th of the
month";"

secretary Gage snnbbed.

Senator Allison and the other finance
committee Republicans refused to present
as an amendment to the tariff bill in the
Senate the only suggestion which the adj
mnlstratOn has made, proposition sub
mitted to them Tuesday 10y Secretary Gage,
to add SO 600, 600 to the revenue within
the next few months by levying an inter
nal revenue tax upon raw sugar imported
prior to the taking effect of the new tariff
law The tax suggested in Secretary
Cages letter is one cent per pound upon
all raw sugar hereafter converted into re-
fined sugar which has been imported into
the United States prior to the enactment
of the new law. This would mean that
the sugar refiners would be called upon to
pay the tax upon nearly the whole of the
$500, 900 pounds of raw sugar which
they have imported during the present
year, under the pressure of the impending
increase in tariff duties. The imports up
to the close of May were nearly equal to
the amount stated, and June will probably
add another 500,000,000 pounds. If this
entire amount was subjected to the tax the
amount collected would be nearly $50
900, OOO 1t is expected, however, that a
considerable portion has already been re-
fined and passed into commerce, so that a
revenue of only about S1G,000,000 is cal
culated if the provision should be incorpo-
rated into the tariff bill. Mr.. Cages pro-
posal seems to meet with more favor in the
House than in the Senate. Chairman
Dingley thinks it would be an admirable
plan if its practicability of administration
could be settled; as to that he is not pre-
pared to give any opinion, merely remark
ing that there would be the same difficulty
in distinguishing between the sugars i'm
ported prior to any given date and those
imported later as occurs in the case of any
other class of goods.

A Submarine Torpedo Boat.


The United States navy will soon launch
at Baltimore the Holland submarine tor
pedo boat 1t is shaped like cigar and
constructed of steel. In the centre of the
| boat is an armored turret covered with
four inches of IIarveyized steel. The
! boat may run on the surface like ordinary
vessels; also awash or submerged 50 that
only her turret and funnel show above wa

water for the purpose of firing into the
hulls of hostile warships. The boat has
steam and electrical power. When under
water storage batteries are used. The
boat is submerged by letting water into
the hold and using rudders which over
come the buoyancy. The vessel may cast
anchor in shallow water and remain below
the surface for three days, waiting for an
unsuspected enemy While in this posi-
tion the air supply will be replenished by
line of hose attached to a tlOater. This
apparatus is released from the boat when
the toater rises to the surface, carrying
the hose with it, Then the air compressor

President Andrews Hopeful for The
Future of silver,

The Rocky Mountain News of Denver
prints the following telegram from Prof.
Andrews of Brown university in answer
to query as to his observations while
abroad of the growth of bimetallic senti-
ment:
Owing to the manifest strength of the
bimetallic interests in America, there is ac-
tually considerable prospect that France
will agree beforehand to open her mints to
silver. If we reopen ours even without
such an agreement, France is certain to
follow the United States. In case France
and the United States proceed, or either
alone, Great Britain will heartily cooperate
to the fullest possible extent short of coin
ing full tender silver at London, the India
mints will reopen, the bank of England
will lay in silver reserve and perhaps
half-sovereigns be Withdrawn in favor of
silver certificates. Further than this, Eng
land will not 60 European bimetallists

New York's Murder Mystery UnraveIed.

New Nork's Murder Mystery UnraveIed.
The mysterious crime which aroused all
New York last week is now an open book
and its perpetrators are in custody. The
story is that of a wOman's double love, and
the jealousy of her lovers.
1t will be recalled that the lower part of
the trunk of a man was found by two boys
in the woods at 10th street and Under
clitfe avenue. The lower part of the trunk
was found in East river, off 11th street.
and the legs in the Brooklyn navy yard.
Two of the packages were surrounded by
oil cloth. The body was horribly mutilat-
ed to prevent Identification. The crime
was so mysterious that scores of reporters
joined with the detectives in hunting up
clues The great publicity given to the
crime ed hundreds of people to examine
the body, and it was identified as that Of
VIM. Guldensuppe, a rubber in Murray
Hill Turkish bath. Mrs. Mack, the womah
with whom Guldensuppe had been living,
was arrested. Her husband from whom
she had been separated for some time, was
also taken into custody.
Developments soon showed another man
in the case, Martin Thorn, barber. with
whom the woman was in love Thorn dis
appeared soon after the body was found.
and 1t was supposed that he had fed to
Canada.
The following of various clues convinced
the officers that the crime was committed
in small house at Woo1side, L. T.: that
Guldensuppe was lured there ostenslUly to
see about renting the house for occupancy
by himself and Mrs. Mack; and that he
was murdered there and the body cut mp
and distributed in the places where it was
found.
Thorn is a German - years Old. He
was arrested in Harlem Tuesday night.
He had shaved oil his mustache, but had
not made great efforts to change his ap-
pearance. He had been living at a lodging
house. He was arrested through informa-
tlon given by John Gartha. a barber lie
claims that Thorn made full confession
OF the crime to him. This confession
makes Mrs. Mack guilty of planning
the murder, but the crime itself was com.
mitted by Thorn alone.

. Message on the Currency question.

4 Message on the Currency Question.
The announcement came from Wash
ington Wednesday that the President
would send to Congress yesterday mes
sage recommending legislation providing
for a non partisan commission to adjust
the currency questions of the country.
The message has been written, but the
news comes today that it will not come
before Congress for several days, and may
not be presented until the regular session
of Congress. Party leaders in both Senate
and House have made strong representa-
tions of the inadvisabiity of sending the
message while the tariff bill is in confer
ence. The principal feature of the mes
sage is a quotation from the Presidents
inaugural address on the financial subject.
The President will ask authority to name
nine commissioners and for an appropria-
tion for the expenses of the commission,
but will make no suggestion as to the po-
litical or other composition of the commits
sion, nor will he make any suggestion as
to the lines Of investigation. He will call
attention to the necessity of a reform in
our currency and national banking laws,
and state that in his opinion this reform
is equally important with the enactment
of protective tarn law.

The first hot wave Of the present sum
mer made its appearance in the West the
latter part of last week, and since Monday
the entire country has been sweltering,
temperatures of 30 to 10 being reported
from the Rockies to the Atlantic coast.
In Colorado the mercury ran up to 1O5 a
few days after snow storm. Many cases
OF prostration are reported in the cities,
and in one day 13 people died from the
heat in Detroit. The sun beat through a
skylight in that city and melted the auto
matte treplugs, causing quantities of wa
ter to fall into large dry goods store. The
loss is estimated at 800, 600. The bodies
OF two men were found Wednesday in a
lane at Marlboro, Mass. 1t was evident
that the men had been drinking and died
from the effects of the liquor and lying in
the sun. The prediction of the weather
bureau is that the extreme hot weather
will continue for several days.

A Tax on Alien Labor.

The governor of Pennsylvania has lust
signed bill passed by the Legislature pro-
ylding for tax upon all aliens employed
in the state at the rate of three cents a
day; and in order that there may be no
risk to the state in the matter of collecting
the tax it is provided that the same shall
be paid by the employer, who is empow-
cred to deduct the amount from his alien
workman wages. One argument for this
extraordinary method of taxation is that
aliens go into the state and work for less
money than natives are willing to accept.
and that the latter are therefore deprived
OF the opportunity of earning money for
the support of themselves and their famil-
les. 1t is also argued that these aliens do
not intend to become citizens of the state
and having no taxable property they are
at present allowed to enjoy the privileges
of free schools and free textbooks and the
protection of local government without the
expenditure of single cent as a contribu-
ton toward the burden of taxation, and
that this tax will compel aliens to help
support the Republican institutions which
they so freely enjoy.

Japan has made a formal protest against
the annexation of Hawaii by the United
States and names the following reasons:
=, First-The maintenance of the status quo of
Hawaii is essential to the good understanding of
the Powers which have interests in the Pacific.
Second-The annexation of Hawaii would
tend 10 endanger the residential. commercial and
industrial rights of japanese subjects in Hawaii
secured to them by treaty and by the constitu-
tonal laws of that country
'Ihlrd-SuCh annexation might lead to the
postponement of the settlement of claims and
Liabilities already existing in favor Of ia pam un-

Death of senator Harris.

Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennessee
died at Washington yesterday. He was
one of the oldest members of Congress and
served his first term in the House nearly
80 years ago. He was governor of Ten

everything possible to aid the Cenfederacy
He afterward served as a staff officer with
leading generals, and when the war closed
he went to Mexico and founded a colony
of southerners who would not accept north
ern rule. He returned in 1867. He ha:
been a member of the Senate since 1877
and one of its leaders.

''The Next Governor of Vermont"
TFrom the Boston Recordl

The next governor of Vermont has gone
to Europe. His name is W. S. Webb, and
he married one of the Vanderbilt girls.
For number of years the New York mill
lionaires have kept pretty close hold on
the Rhode Island offices, and now they
seem to have disposition to branch out
and take hand at those in Vermont. If
they really want more offices and want
them badly enough, they might extend
their operations to the Granite state. Our
thrifty New Hampshire friends are always
ready to talk business.

The Vermont Congressional delegation
recommended Col. c. 5. Forbes of ST. Al
bans for appointment as consul general at
Ottawa, but the plum went to a Connect
cut man. They also recommended j. D..
Denison of Randolph for the Venezuelan
ministership, but Mckinley names F. b.
Loomis of his own state for the place. The
New Hampshire newspapers which have
INDUCED in sarcasm because Vermont was
getting so much recognition ought now to
retract their shafts. There was, however.
little reason in recommending an obscure
lawyer like j. d. Denison to first class
diplomatic position with a salary of $500
a year. He could cast anchor in very
shallow water. So could his father, Dud.
ley C. Denison. The latter served two
terms in Congress, and biographical
sketch of him says; "His congressional
career was without notable incident, ex-
eept that he was one of the II in the
House to vote against a resolution de-
claring that no man should be eligible for
a third term for the presidency"

We've Grown Ourselves.
From the Utica Herald

During this jubilee week much has been
said about the great progress the British
Empire has made during the 80 years
reign of Queen Victoria. But, come to
look at the figures a little, the United
States appears to have come along pretty
fast during the same period.
When Victoria ascended the throne
there were only 25 states in the American
republic; there are now Is. The coun-
try's population in 1887 was 1868, ,OOO
In 1897 it is estimated at -, ,547 600 The
wealth of the nation 90 years ago was
about s., 900, 900, 600; it now reaches the
enormous total of 100000, 100000. The
railway mileage of the United States when
Victoria became Queen was 1497; it is
now l79,S2l, or greater than that of all
Europe.
In 1887 the total capital of the Amer-
can banks was $500, ,091, and the
amount of deposits was S127, ,307, ,1S5. Last
year the total capital was reported at ST.
O5l, ,976, 254, while the amount of deposits
was Sl,907, 1856, ,277. There were II, ,767
post-otfices in 1887, which yielded a reve-
nue. of S4,236,770. In 1895 there were
SO, l64 offices, yielding revenue of S76,-
9S3, l2S, and both totals must have in
creased some since. Sixty years ago the
farms of the United States raised 14,OOO,-
600 tons of grain; last year they raised
90,000,000 tons. In 1887 the total value
of our manufactured product was less than
100000, 900; today it is more than S9,-
000000,000.
We make more than 80 times as much
pig-irOn now as we made 60 years ago, and
ship nearly so times as much anthracite
coal. For every 500 paid in wages in
1887 there was paid last year: In building
trades, $204; in cotton goods, 1892; in
lumber, $500; in metals, S175; in rail
roads, S163; in stone, S205; in white lead,
S155; in woolens, S17S.
Yes, we have been coming along some
ourselves in go years.

The powers of Europe have been unable
to secure an agreement of peace between
Turkey and Greece, and the sultan's
army still holds Thessaly. The probabil-
ity of saving the Greek province from
Turkish rule is not so much the question
of the future as what to do with Turkey
