DISCUSSED THE TREATY.
A Motion to Postpone Action Will Likely
Pass Today.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Thc senate adj
jOurned at $3.50 tonight, after spending
| six hours in executive session devoted
to the consideration of the nomination of
| Hon. G. +. Amidon to be district judge
of North Dakota and of the Anglo
| American arbitration treaty. The greater
| part of this time was given UP to the
| iudgcship question, and the treaty was
| not reached until after Mr.. Amidon's con-
| iirmation.
1t had been arranged by the friends
of the treaty to make an extraordinary
effort to secure action on it today, but
their plans were frustrated. There were
two aye and nay votes during the day
bearing on the treaty. I'm the first, which
was on contest as to whether treaty
or nominations should have precedence.
was n motion to adjourn, which was an
tagonized principally by the friends of
the treaty, the treaty won, as adjourn
mcnt ut that time was prevented. Both
votes were close, and neither were
specially significant, as in the first vote
some friends of the treaty cast their bal
lots against it, and in the second some
of its opponents were adverse to ad-
journment, saying they were as willing
for the test today as at any other time.
1t was not long after this latter vote
that Senator Sherman himself moved an
adjournment. In entering this motion,
Mr.. Sherman said he was actuated by Il
desire to consult the convenience of the
senate. and that recognizing the fact that
much of the day had been given to an
other subject. he conceded it was hardly
fair to ask the senate to take up the
treaty at that hour with a view to con-
tinuing its discussion until it should be
disposed of. He gave notice that he
would tomorrow ut 1870 move an eX-
ecutive session for the purpose of con-
Sidering the treaty alone, and he would
ask that the session be held behind closed
doors and be continued until the fate
of the treaty was known. On this an
nouncement the senate adjourned.
There We're no speeches on the merits
of the treaty alone, but debate was on Il
motion by Senator Nelson of Minnesota
to postpone the treaty until March D.
The speeches in favor of this motion
were made by Senators Nelson. Allison
and Frye. and those in opposition to it
by Senators Sherman, Lodge. Hoar and
est. The first three were, without eN-
ccption. friendly to the treaty, but they
urged the pressing character of the other
business and the apparent futility of try
ing to get a vote on the treaty ut this
session.
Messrs. Sherman. Lodge. Hoar and
Vest contended that vote could be had.
if the friends of the treaty would only
show their devotion 10y maintaing Il
quorum day and night until vote could
be reached.
1t is conceded on all sides that tomor-
rows session will be the final one on the
treaty during this session. The most
probable result is the adoption of Mr..
Nelson's motion to postpone.

KILLED IN A BONING BOUT.
A Negro Boy Died From Il Right Swing
on the Neck

Cincinnati. Feb. 1S.-Denny Coleman,
n colored boy. met death in the ring OF
the Manhattan Athletic club tonight IN
the first round of his boxing bout win
William Wright. While his limp body
was being carried out of the arena ana
into n dressing room by his seconds, the
spectators, none of whom suspected the
awful truth. cheered Justify for Wright,
who had been proclaimed victor over nm;
Other bouts were called and decided
and still the audience was not aware that
what they had witnessed in the first set
TO was Il tragedy. 1t was only after the
nolice had stopped the contest between
lin Johnson and Alley Roberts. in the
fourth round, when the referee declared
Johnson the winner. that the news OF the
boys death was heard by all. -
Both Coleman and his adversary in the
fatal bout are colored, Inexperienced ana
unscientitic. They were only engaged on
this occasion by the failure of some Others
TO appear. They We're Is or u years OF
age and weighed between 10 and liz
nonnds. The battle with gloves was as
rigorous ms it was unscientiic and as
fierce as it was brief. At the call of time
they met in the center and punched. Jab-
hed and swung wildly at one another.
Each landed several times during the
first minute. but Wright was quick To
crowd his man upon the first sign of
weakness and in another minute had him
pinned against the ropes of the ring in
Wright's own corner. There was Il
clinch, hut Wright still crowded and n
swinging blow with the right struck the
helpless Coleman on his neck. Instantly
he dropped to the floor, limp and lifeleSs,
No one in the amphitheater suspected the
truth. Coemans eyes We're open and
rolling. although his tongue, was still and
his muscles were all relaxed. Some
thought it was only a bit of clever act
ing in order to escape further punish
ment. Referee Lally gave his decision
promptly on the fall and proclaimed
Wright the winner.
1t was nearly two hours later that the
boy died. The police have arrested
Josenh Sinccoe, manager of the club. Ed
Lally. referee. viii Rogers one of the
seconds. and are after others whom they
have not yet arrested.

days proceedings Of the sixth annual
meeting of the Southern Lumber Manu-
facturcrs' association was held today.
The price list was read by the secre-
tary. l.. G.. West. The list. as prepared
by the committee. contained but few
changes from the price list of January /,
these changes being, in every case, an
advance over those adopted at the last
meeting.
The reading of the report caused con-
siderable discussion, as some members
think that rough timber was priced too
high. Other kinds of timber were thought
by sOmr TO be priced too low. These
facts were all brought out in general
discussion. The list, as recommended by
the committee, with slight changes was
adopted.
The following officers were then
elected:

TO RESTORE M'K|NLEY RATES
THE TARIFF TISKERS WISH TO
LEND A HELPING HAND
TO THE COAL TRUST.
CONFERENCE ON TOBACCO SCHEDULE
The Mckinley Rates Will Be Recon-
mended, Except on "Filled," Which
Will Be 100 Per Cent Higher.
Other Washington Items.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The republican
members of the ways and means com
mittee took an important step today in
their work on the new tariff bill by de-
Gliding to restore the Mckinley rates on
coal and coke. These rates were %
cents per ton of twenty-eight bushels on
bituminous and shale and 30 cents on
coal slack, such as will pass through Il
half-inch screen. The present rates are
40 cents and 10 cents.
Coke is advanced from II to 20 per
cent ad valorem. These changes were
made in response to general demand
from the coal interests, whose repre-
sentatves declare that the Wilson rates
had increased Canadian competition so
that the American mine-owners had been
obliged to reduce wages to keep in the
field.
The first conferences of the week have
dealt with the tobacco schedule, and al
though no final agreement has been
reached, there is a practical understand
ing that the new bill will return to the
Mckinley rates on tobacco, except on
the grade known as 'filled." The rate
on this will be 20 cents n pound. double
the Mckinley duty, which was So cents.
1t was represented by the tobacco man
ufacturers that most of the tobacco i'm
ported from Cuba as filed was used for
wrappings, and that this evasion of the
law gave the Key West factories an adj
vantage over those using Sumatra tobic-
co. The Mckinley duties on wrapper
tobacco was 81 per pound on stemmed
and S2.75 on unstemmed. On snuff the
rate was 80 cents; on cigars and cigar
cites, 81 and 20 per cent ad valOrcm,
and tobacco not enumerated 40 cents.
The committee will devote most of this
week to the schedule of sundries, which
includes buttons. matches, musical in
struments, furs, jewelry, gloves and mis-
cellancous manufactured articles, and on
most of these the Mckinley rate will
be restored.

RECOVERED HIS SPEECH.

Taylor, Tex. Feb. 1S.-(Special.)-Ma.
rion NJ Williams, the erstwhile pOpulist
plenarian and ex-editor of the Texas
Pitchfork. he who dropped off the earth
just after the last November election, has
been found and interviewed by The
Statesman correspondent. He says he is
in favor of a combination state ticket
for 1898, composed of all opposition to
the present administration gang.
'Kearby and Makemson or Jenkins
and Makemson would make II good
ticket" says Mr.. Williams, ''and then
sandwich republicans and populists in all
along down the line of the ticket. There
is no use in pOpulists making n single
handed fight against the entrenched
democracy. What we want to do is to
get into line all the forces now opposed
to the state house gang. and | believe It
will be done next year."
