one in which there is no especial plot.
The music is tuneful and there are oppor-
tunities for light comedy work in the
lines. Among the members of the cast

advance will add materially to the pro-
section to the beet sugar industry.
It ID estimated that the changes in
the sugar schedule will raise about
$1,000, 900 additional revenue
Following are among the more I'M
portant changes made in other sched-
ules:
Hides, 15 per cent ad valorem, in place
Of 20 per cent, fixed by the senate. The
house made a strong fight to have hides
restored to the free list, but they were
compelled to submit to the untiring de-
mand of the senate.
Wool, as heretofore sent out: First
class. II cents per pound; second class.
~ cents per pound: third class, cents
on that below II cents per pound in value
and cents on that above II cents in
value. These rates on third class were
the result of an agreement between the
wool growers and the carpet manufac-
turers
Lead ore. liz cents per pound.
Pig lead, 21s cents, the senate rates.
Iron ore as fixed by the senate.
Coal, bituminous, 81 cents per ton.
The senate rate on borax was also sus-
tanned
The senate rates on all fruits were re-
tanned including 1 cent per pound on
oranges, lemons, linmes, etc. On wall
nuts the house rate of cents per pound
was restored, the senate having lowered
this rate to ~.
White pine lumber was restored to the
house classification, and the house rate
OF 81 per 1000 feet instead of the senate
eate of 81.
The reciprocity clause has been trans
formed into modification of both the
house and senate schedules-that ie the
number of articles which can be used
as basis for reciprocity agreements has
been incresa sed, but the presidents dis
erection as to the ratee and the ratifica-
ton of treaties by the senate, which was
the main fea ture of the senate provision,
has been rejected.
One of the biggest victories won by
the house was in the restoration to the
dutiable list of burlaps, jute and jute
bagging cotton bagging, gunny sacks.
floor mating and cotton ties, which the
senate placed on the free list. While
restored to the dutiable list, however,
the rates were lower than they have
ever been on this class or articles. An
other victory of the house was the elimi-
nation of the senate stamp tax on bonds
and stocks. 1t was decided that the ma
ctinery of collection was too cumber-
some.
The Republicans believe that the re-
port can be made to the house early
Monday afternoon, and if the present
Intentions of the house leaders are car
ried out the report will have been acted
upon before the house adjourns Mon
day.
Gov. Dingley expresses the opinion
that the bill will be a law and that
congress will have adjourned a week
from today.

GERMAN ACTION
Causes the Secretary to Accept Of.
fered Terms

ONSTANTINOPLE, July 1.-THE
announcement by Tewfik Pasha to the
ambassadors that the sultan had agreed
to the principle of their demands and
was prepared TO accept their views on
the conditions of peace was due to a
message sent him prior to the meeting
that if the porte had not previously re-
Piled satisfactorily the ambassadors
would adopt an important decision with
regard to their attitude toward Turkey.
Tewfik Pasha turned up at the last mo-
ment and announced that he had been
instructed to accept the proposals of
the powers.
This change of front is now understood
to be the result Of the action of Ger
many. The reply of Emperor William
to the sultan's personal note was am
biguous and induced him to believe that
Germany would support him. When,
however, Germany found that the pow
ers were resolved on coercion, then EN-
peror William, desiring to prevent such
an eventuality, instructed his ambassa-
dor to go to the palace and state dis
tinctly that the Turkish government
must conform absolutely to the decis-
| ion of the powers.

returned to this state to begin his bust
ness career, which he did as clerk in
the office of the division superintendent
of the Southern Pacific on the Oakland
wharf, receiving the same pay and doing
the same work as his fellow employees.
After it was decided that he had be-
come proficient in this line of work he
was rewarded by vacation which was
devoted to a second tour of England and
continental Europe. Upon his return he
was promoted to the position of clerk
in the general freight Office of the COM
pany in San Francisco, which gave him
a general view of the whole field of rail-
road operation. He became director in
the corporation and later was made third
vice president, the office having been
created for his benefit. He was promoted
to the second vice presidency in 1883,
when Leland Stanford was president of
the company and c. p. Huntington first

Charles T. Croker became practically
the resident managing director. His
father died and when Leland Stanford
retired from the presidency of the South
ern Pacific railroad and c. p Hunting
ton was elected to that posi-
ton. Charles +. Crocker became
first vice president, vested with all the
discretionary powers which the position
entails. He filled that office up to the
time of the attack of illness which has
resulted in his death.
Colonel Croker was popular, both in
social and business circles. He was mar
ried in 1883 to Miss Easton, daughter of
A. M. Easton and Adelia M. Easton, the
latter a sister OF D. o. Mills. To the
young couple three children were born

residences sumptuously furnished and
of tasteful decorations. One was in San
Fransico and the other at Uplands, San
Mateo county where his death took
place.

Rates All Right

CHICAGO, July ia telegram was re-
ceived today by the executive committee
of the Western Passenger association from
it's chairman, Mr. Caldwell, who went to
San Francisco for the purpose of seeing
that the agreement on east-bound Christ
ian Endeavor business was maintained.
Chairman Caldwell says that in his opinion
the situation is no longer alarming and
there is no longer probability of de-
moralization of rates. He says the South
ern Pacific has taken steps to cooperate
with the association lines and that the
initial lines have decided that they will
not continue the sale of tickets up to and
including the oath, as originally intended.

IN THE SENATE
The Day Is Spent in Debating Rail-
road Indebtedness

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Morgan occupied most of the day in the
senate in support of Harris resolution
relating; to the Union Pacific railroad.
He severely arraigned the executive Of
ficials connected with the sale Of the
government interest in the road. Final
action in the resolution was not reached.
Quay, v'ho yesterday tried to have the
senate adjourn over until Monday, made
the point of no quorum as soon as the
journal had been approved. Only forty
senators answered to their names. and
on notion of Jones of Arkan sas, the
sergeant-a farms was instructed to NO.
tify absen tees that their presence was
required.
The sena tie conferees on the tariff bill
were summoned from their comittee
room and swelled the attendance to a
quorum. After the usual routine bust
ness connected with the presen tation of
bills and MI amorials the senate at lis
on motion OF Garter of Montana went
into executive session.
The doors W ere opened at 2:30 m and
Morgan then I ook the floor in support of
the Harris re solution. He presented
figures to show that the loss to the gov
eminent, if the pending Union Pacific
settlement was carried out, would be
IS, 600 900, and he commented on the fact
that in doing this the Union Pacific
would secure a property which they pro-
posed to capitalize at 1892, 100000. The
senator declared that the agreement for
the sale of the government interest in
the Union Pacific was violative of the
statutes Morgan argued that the agree
ment by which the reorganization COM
mittee would bid $45, 100000 for the gov
eminent interest was expressly design
ed to shut other bids out, as it permitted
the committee to Use the ST 600, 900 sink
ing fund in the treasury as a part OF
their bond, while other bidders had no
access to this ST., 900, 900 He presented
a series of points showing, he said, 1.-THE
monstrous fraud and the scheme of
extortion and oppression" constituting
the most audaciouS plan of railroad
wrecking ever devised"
The senator said President Mckinley
could not afford to carry out the agree
ment concerning the Union Pacific
by President Cleveland, he could not
afford to become the administrator de
borsis non Of an act of the Cleveland ad-
ministration so offensive as to wreck
any man. Morgan had not concluded
when, at 5:25, he yielded for an adjourn
ment.

troops in first class physical condition
