TOPICS OF THE TIME.


tention Of Europe.
American visitors to London will be
relieved to learn that the Hotel Cecil
and the other great caravansaries fire.
quented by transatlantic tourists have
recently taken active steps to rid them
selves of the international gang Of card
sharps and professional swindlers by
which they have hitherto been infested.
Certain of these gentry, including a
man well known in New York by the
name of English Alfred, had retained a
suit of apartments for the entire sea-
son at the Hotel Cecil mt an enormous
cost, and after their expulsion the most
elaborate paraphernalia and arrange
ments for fleeing unwary card and rou-
lette players and dice throwers were
found in the rooms which they had
been compelled to vacate. Most of the
card sharps j. question have New York
records.
Greatly to the disgust of tho good
people of Brussels, their international
exhibition, as usual, was SO far from
ready ON the day officially fixed for the
opening that the latter had to be post
poned, and, under the circumstances,
the king and the royal family were un-
able to take part in the ceremonies.
The same thing has happened with ev-
cry show of this kind held in Belgium
and has invariably marred the success
Of the affair.
Admiral Makarof Of the Russian ma
Wy has invented a species of ice plow
capable Of breaking through ice from
IL to even 30 inches thick. The expert
ments have proved SO satisfactory that
the government has given orders for
the immediate construction of two YES
sells Of 10000 hors YER each, armed
with these plows, ~ ---eans of which it
is expected to keep not only the river
Neva, but also the various Muscovite
ports, open to navigation throughout he
winter.
With all England's condemnation of
the social disadvantages to which the
colored race is subjected in the United
States, she is giving abundant evidence
of being imbued with racial prejudices
that are every bit as strong. Thus the
volunteer regiments of the great univer-
sites have declined to admit to their
ranks students of Indian and of African
origin, and number Of other volun-
tecr and militia corps, including the
Inns of Court battalion, composed of
members Of the legal profession, have
followed suit.
The welcome of the king Of Siam in
Europe is likely to be considerably cool
cd by the announcement that in view of
the enormous expenses entailed by his
foreign tour it has been found necessary
to dismiss every one Of the European
and American officials in the employ Of
his government. A number Of them,
who have been in the employ of the ST.
amese crown for many years, have al
ready left the country, much TO the dis
gust Of the foreigners who have inter
ests in Siam, and who place no conf
dence in their native successors.

The Agricultural Schedule Is Dis
posed Of and Caucus Agree
ment Reached on Sugar
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, June S.-By the de-
cisive vote of AZ to 10 the senate today
adopted an amendment to the tariff bill
placing raw cotton, the great product
of the south, on the dutiable list at 20
per cent ad valorem. 1t is the first time
in the history of tariff legislation that
cotton has been incorporated in bill.
The amendment was proposed by Bacon,
on his individual responsibility, and
without the approval Of the finance
committee, which thus far has been
requisite to. the success of every amend
ment, except a minor one which went
through by default. The amendment led
to spirited debate, Democratic senators
disclosing wide difference of views and
at times exchanging sharp personal crit
icisms On the final vote six Democrats
Bacon and Clay of Georgia, McEnery
Of Louisiana, McLaurin and Tillman Of
South Carolina and Rawlins of Utah
voted with the Republicans for the Ba-
con amendment, while the negative vote
was soEdly Democratic, with one ex-
ception-Kyle, Populist. The debate on
cotton took up most Of the day, and but
little progress was made on the bill.
Early in the day the sugar schedule was
passed over, and the agricultural sche6-
uIe taken UP. The paragraph on cattle
went over, but the balance of the agri-
cultural schedule, up to and including
paragraph 228, was agreed to as report
ed, all amendments, except that Of Ba-
con, being rejected.

THE INDIAN WAR
A Mixup Likely to Occur at Any
Moment

DENVER, Col, June S-A special tc
the News from Miles City, Mont, says:
There Is very little change in the In
dian situation today. The sheriff should
reach the reservation tonight. 1t is
generally thought among citizens who
know Chief White Bull that he will not
be taken alive. White Bull and his fol.
lowers are alive, and 300 determined
men are trying to arrest him. Four com
panies of soldiers on hand makes. mat
ters very complicated, and q mix up
may occur at any moment. Orders were
received today from the commanding
officer at Fort Keogh from the war de-
partment at Washington to inform Ma
jor Newell. who has charge of the troops
from Fort Keogh at the reservation, no,
to return to Fort Keogh until further
advices from that office. 1t was Major
Newelps intention to leave the reserva-
ton and reach Keogh by the 18th. The
orders were Immediately forwarded to
Major Newell by couriers on bicycles.

penses. This is a reform that Superinten-
