The Wool Schedule,

Washington, March l5.-The Repub-
lican members of the ways and means
committee devoted today to the consid-
Grafton of the wool schedule of the
tariff, resulting in the practical re-
adoption of the Mckinley rates on
wool. Raw woods of class |, which in
clude merino down to clothing woods
and other soft qualities, are made du-
table at IL cents a pound; wool of
class 2, which includes Leicester, Cots
wold and Lincolnshire, are made duti-
able at IL cents pound, and the
washed wools of these classes at 22 and
"a cents and secured at 33 and 36 cents
pound. The Mckinley rate of 92
per cent ad valorem on woois of the
third class, or carpet wools, is retained
The classification of woods was some
what changed by raising few varieties
formerly classed as carpet wools, to the
clothing wool classes. Among them
are China lambs wool, Egyptian and
Morocco.
The American Woolgrowers' Associ-
alton has asked for 12-cent duty on
woods of class l, but the committee has
not approved their request.

Regarding Appointed Members.
Washington, March 15.-The tariI
situation is giving the Republicar
some concern. They feel sure that the
bill can pass. but it is now. believe
that the debate is going to be extend'
in the senate. 1t is known the int
ton of the Democrats is to talk
every subject in the bill. After
schedules of the bill become know

crease in imports. After the ne
goes into effect there will be a

view is taken by quite numbv, 4,
Democrats, who say it is their pol4
to have the bill passed, but not unit
after it has been thoroughly discussed
Without an active majority in the sen.
ate, the Republicans will not be able,
to hurry the measure along. The Re.
publican silverites have indicated that
they will not prevent a tariff bill from
passing, and are not opposed to the
policy of delay.
Republican senators now feel that
the new bill will have to be amended
materially by the committee on finance
of the senate. 1t is known that sev-
eral of the schedules have been submit
ted to the members of the finance com
mittee, one being the chemical sched-
ule. Without making a close exami-
nation, it is believed that senators
think the rates are in some cases high
er than the law of 1890. AS soon as
the new bill is presented, the Republi-
can members of the finance committee
will begin consideration of it, even be-
fore it passes the house, in order to
have it before the senate at an early
day.
There was some talk that Republican
members of the finance committee
would be consulted by the ways and
means committee while the latter was
at work on the tariff, in order that a
measure might be framed which would
require as little amendment by the sen.
ate as possible. This has not >be@S
done, nor was it expected by the 81 IL

The Appointed Senators.

Washington. March 15.-As a result
of the several conferences which have
been held, not only by Republicans,
but by Democrats, it may be definitely
said that men who have been appointed
by the governors in states where the
legislatures have had an opportunity to
elect will not be admitted. The Re-
publican waste of time to bring the
case before the senate, as even after de-
bate, of which no one could predict the
ending, it is not at all likely that a
favorable vote could be expected. The
men who come to Washington with ap-
pointments from governors will be ad-
vised that they cannot be given time to
discuss their cases, and the legislatures
which have failed to elect must be re-
sponsible for the vacancies in the
states representation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Mr. Dearmond Dem..
MOI made an eloquent speech In the House to-

the belligerency OF Cuba. He said:
Every hour that we delay action upon that
resolution we are lending aid to oppression from
beyond tho water and we are doing what we
may do to stife freedom and tho struggles OF
patriots here within sight almost of our own
shores The idea that there Is some obligation
resting upon this country to be gentle and con-
siderate in it's dealings with Spain, when that
gentleness and that consideration for tho Span
lard Is cruelty and torture and death for
the Cuban, that idea, it seems to me-
is not we'll founded In American man
hood or American patriotism. How great
would be the stain upon our national
honor. how great would be the loss to the cause
ence. by our disposition to placate the Spaniard
and to defeat and ruin the Cuban, that hopeful
struggle for freedom should end In naught, and
that desperate effort to perpetuate tyranny and
outrage upon the Western Hemisphere should
triumph.
