Washington, May 3O.-The impression
was general about the Senate at the close
of the first weeks discussion of the tariff
bill yesterday that the sugar schedule
would be reached toward the close of the
present week. The progress SO far made
than on previous days is generally regard
ed as little less than phenomenal as
modern tariff debates go.
The sugar schedule in all probability
will excite more prolonged and animated
debate than any other in the bill Sena

ing his amendment against trusts in this
connection. With reference to the Ha-
waiian treaty, there is no longer much
room for doubt that provision will be
made to continue the present treaty in
effect.
There are two schedules to be consid-
cred after the conclusion of that under
present discussion before the sugar sched-
ule can be reached. These are the metal
and wood schedules. The smetall schedule
is not especially objectionable to the Dem
ocrats The wood schedule will develop
no little antagonism on account of the

CARGO OF ARMS LANDED SAFELY.
Account of Second Largest Fillibusterins
Expedition of War.

Wilmington, N. c., May 3O.-The Mes
senger today prints detailed account of
the loading of the tug Alexander Jones
and her departure with the schooner
John D. Long, on Cuban fillibustering
expedition.
On Thursday night, May 13, the Jones
took on a cargo of rifles, machettes,
rapid firing guns and ammunition at
a wharf in the southern limits of the
city. The Jones started down the river,
and in few hours anchored outside.
The schooner John D. Long having
meanwhile been loaded with coal and
other material at another wharf, was
shortly afterwards towed out to sea.
On the schooner We're Gen. ,Nunez and

Accusing Him of Harboring Cores

vorable to Spain-Insurgents Dynamite
Passenger Train.
Havana, May 30.-In a leading article
this morning, Ell Diario de la Marina
makes a scathing indirect attack upon
Commissioner Calhoun by criticizing
articles which have appeared in Wash
ington newspaper over the signature of
Mr.. Pepper, who, in the guise of an inti-
mate friend of President Mckinley and
Mr. Calhoun, accompanied the latter to
Cuba.
Ell Diario maintains that many Incl
dents wholly private have been divulged
in Mr.. Peppers letter, thus tending to
com promise Mr.. Calhoun. The paper
also resents Mr.. Peppers unfriendly at
titude toward Spain in his reports on the
Cuban situation.
In closing the article, Ell Diario calls
attention to the fact that two New York
newspapers whose Cuban reports are
scarcely favorable to Spain, maintain
bureaus in Havana under the same roof
with the United States consul general.
Mr.. f F;shback, accompanied by Mr. Pep
per, went into the interior today to visit
Guanajoy. Mr.. Calhoun spent the day
with Gen Lee at the American consulate.

HOUSE WAS NOT IN SESSION

cOnSG1JuGlOnally Uhen the Senate could
not be in session, as they were legislative
partners. The senator insisted that the
House was not In session and had not
been in session for weeks. He paused to
ask the presiding officer Mr.. Gallinger),
if the line of debate was in order, but the
former replied that he would not rule on
a Hypothetical question, but would de-
eide If point of order was raised.
Mr. Morgan said that he thought the
point of order by Mr.. Hale was due to
the latter's fear that he (Mr. Morgan)
was about to refer to the Cuban resolu-
tion.
''It is the first time in service of 20
years. said Mr. Morgan, "that have
been called to order, but feel no humili-
alton, for have been seated by Re
publican for defending the Constitution. .
Mr.. Gallinger assured Mr.. Morgan that
it had been with extreme reluctance that
the chair had made the ruling.
Mr.. Morgan continued his arraignmen
of the inaction of the House and.its
automatic trap-door resolution for ad-
journment."
This closed the incident and the Senate
came back to the tariff bill. Mr.. Jones
of Arkansas moved reduction of the
rate on unsilvered plate glass (24x30)
from 10 to cents per square foot. On
a yea and nay vote the amendment was
defeated 18 to 2S.
Mr.. Jones again moved reduction OF
from II to cents per square foot on cast
polished plate glass, silvered 16x24), but
on yea and nay vote the amendment
was defeated, 10 to 26.
The committee amendments on cast
polished plate glass silvered and unsil-
vered and looking glass plates We're then
agreed to.
When paragraph 105 was reached at 5. Is
p. M, Mr.. Aldrich yielded to motion
for an executive session, after which
the Senate adjourned to Tuesday.

pRoLL SORT oE DUEL
How q French 'Sparrow" Fought with
.sBlackbir(l" In a Tres

How q French "Sparrow" Fought with q
"Blackbird" Up a Tree.
One day the famous duelist, Pierrot
dlsaac, went to see his friend, Mar
quis Merle de Sainte-Marie, says the
st. Louis Mirror. It should be ex-
planned that in French pierrot means
sparrow and merle means blackbird.
Marquis" said d'Lsaacs, 81 am a Bona
partist and you are a royalist. More
over, am the sparrow and you are
the blackbird. Doesn't 1t strike YOU
that there is one bird Of US too many p"
ut precisely does" said the marquis;
my choice is pistols, and, as is APP
propriate for birds of our species, let
us fight in the trees" AS If it were
not sufficiently ridiculous thing that
one man should challenge another be-
cause his name was Sparrow and the
other Blackbird, the duel was actually
fought from trees, the seconds standing
on the ground below. The pistols were
fired at the signal. There was rust
ling among the leaves of one of tho
chestnut trees. It was Pierrot d'Lsaacs
who, wounded severely in one leg, came
tumbling to the ground. AT this point
the marquis began 10 chirp triumphant
ly, initiating the song of the blackbird.
This was a fresh insult, to be atoned
in only one way, and d'Isaacs waited
for his wound to- recover to challenge
Sainte-Marie for the chirp. This time
the duel was fought with swords, and
Sainte-Marie was badly wounded-the
sparrow had avenged himself on the
blackbird.

Two Frenchmen Contested for the Honor,
1t Seems.
M. Jules Claretie, in his weekly con-
tribution to the leading evening paper
of Paris, says correspondent, refer
ring to the Trafalgar commemoration,
discusses the question: "Who Shot
Nelson?" 1t has generally been stated
in France, says the Boston Herald, that
the great admiral was hit by Pro-
vencal topman, who then descended on
deck, shouting, in his patois: "Ai tua,
Al, tua, Nelson!" M. Jules Claretie,
however, has uneartked the Memories
de Robert Guillemard, Sergeant en- Re-
traite," little known book. In this he
found full description Of Nelson's
death, written by Guillemard, the very
man who fired the fatal shot which laid
low the British hero. Guillemard was
in one of the tops of the Redoubtable,
surrounded by dead and dying men.
Suddenly he saw one-armed officer,
whose breast was covered with decora-
tons, on the quarter deck of the Eng
fish ship Victory, and he fired at him,
not knowing that he was the admiral.
Observing great commotion on board
the Victory, Guillemard left his post
and told his commander what he had
done and seen. This Guillemard was a
native of the district near Toulon, and
obtained no special distinction for his
act, but served on until promoted in due
time to sergeant's rank.

mounted himself in various portions Of
the shop. A white polar bear, lion,
two leopards and other smaller animals
are seen in various positions. In the
show window are two lynxes and a
Rocky mountain lion, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
Every night at dusk when the store
is lit us each of these animals is seen
looking at you with blazing eyes. The
lions yellow eyeballs literally glow
with fire. Crowds invariably stop in
front of the shop to look at the lynxes'
sparkling emerald eyes, and as that por-

kept darker than the rest of the store
the effect from the outside looks pc
culiarly weird and odd.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
A committee of three was selected
by each state committee to draft an
address to the people of Iowa.
To the electors of the state of Iowa.
The state conference composed of
members of the democratic, populist
and free silver republican parties of
Iowa send greeting:
Profoundly convinced that there
can be neither business security nor
Industrial prosperity until we return
to the unrestricted coinage of both
gold and silver at the established
ratio and until we adopt for ourselves
all independent American system of
finance, we thereto unanimously
recommends:
First:-That the union of the free
silver forces effected in the late cam
paign be declared permanent upon
the basis recognized in that struggle.
Second-We further recommend
that our separate organizations be
maintained and that in the future a Ii
conventions of said parties, state, dis
trict and county be called to meet at
the same time and place and that
they agree upon the same candi-
dates.
We further recommend the imme-
date formation of free silver clubs in
every township and voting precinct
in the state.
We also recommend the appoint
mont of a committee from each party
to prepare and publish an address to
the people of Iowa in accord with
the above views.

BAR CONSERVATIVES.
Rot TO Be Permitted to I.andZA Sanitary
Restrictive Measure.

Restrictive Measure.
Local physicians are discussing tho
point of an immigration bill pending
before the New Zealand parliament
with view to calling the attention Of
congress to similar protective meas
'ure. The bill in question is to prevent
consumptives from entering the coun-
try. To effect that object the captain
of any ship who lands a passenger suf
fering from lung disease is liable to
penalty of $3.50 for every offense, and if
during the voyage he is proved to have
allowed such sufferer to share cabin
with another passenger, an additional
fine is thereby incurred. Further
more, there is provision which holds
a captain personally responsible and
liable to fine if, three months after
landing his passengers, any one OF
them should develop lung disease.
Fancy captain of nervous tempera-
ment laboring under this law, suggests
the st. James Budget. "Given that he
has started with list of passengers
free from all palpable lung disease, still
his life would not be worth living.
Every cough, every splutter from a
crumb in the throat as his passengers
sat at meals, would would serve to
dangle the fine demon before his eyes.
One can imagine captain getting into
such state of mind as to secretly slip
overheard any passenger developing
genuine cough. Men have done worse
for less than $3.50. One can follow him
on shore. Having landed his passen-
gers, he is still within the clutches of
the state. Weeks afterward he may be
dining on shore. He hears cough at
table. A cold sweat comes in beads on
his forehead as he recognizes passen-
ger. Another $780, he murmurs, as
he is carried out in dead faint"

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspep-
STA. People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve
medicine and spring remedies; the
real seat Of the mischief is lost sight
of; the stomach is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever liz the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness.
Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach SO much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appe-
tite, with accumulation OF gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
