Washington, June 29.-Today af-
ter a tedious consideration of the
tariff bill the senate wound up with a
half hours lively and amusing colloquy

between Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina
and Mr. Chandler of New HamEshire.
The former had proposed an amerd-
ment to the tariff bill providing 4 500
per head tax on immigrants and re
strictions against all those not coming
to the United States to become cit
liens Mr. Tillman made an narneat
speech on the depressed condition Of
labor but he was soon diverted from
his theme by Mr.. Chandler. The latter
assuming a smile Of mock gravity,
directed the discussion toward Clevo-
lands administration. This in time
brought from Mr.. Tillman vehement
criticism Of the late president, while
Mr.. Chandler protested against these
assaults Gu Mr.. Cleveland by member
of his own party. When the fun had
been fast and furious for some time
| the Tillman amendment was defeated;

votes being cast by Messrs. Butler,

A Case of Temptation.

The proceedings In court were con-
Quoted with remarkable quietness, but
there was not great deal Of interest in
the testimony I'm IL because IL was almost
exactly the same in essential particulars
as chat given before Coroner Granger at
the inquest
A lawyer who has had great deal of
experience in criminal practice sat near
Mowry and said that in his opinion
NOwry looked like a man who could be
Influenced 90 do great crime. he said
that no one who had not Teen tempted
knows the power of temptation on the
irresistible impulse that prompts some
men 90 resent an imaginary wrong. He
cited little experience that came under
his own observation TO illustrate the
power Of temptation: A man had received
an express package by mistake. IL con-
tanned as, 600 in gold and bills. lie was
nn honest man, young, alone In the world
ana stationed in IA small place on the rail
read. After receiving the package he
suddenly determined % steal II. lie re-
suiYed all sorts of scheI'cs, but they col
lapscd before the chances of detection and
punishment. Finally he decided 10 bury
the money. A couple OF inches of fresh
fallen snow prevented this and the
man who thought he had been
scheming 10 get possession Of that money
for about 10 minutes was startled by
the whistle of "a locomotive. Ii was the
next train TO arrive and he had been
standing in front of that money COM
pletely enthraled by temptation for
nearly two hours without moving from
the place he first stood in when ne saw
that fortune was within his grasp.
The whistle of the locomotive broke the
spell. Mowry might have been under a
similar spell and position through the
temptation for revenge and that long look
up 10 Sweets Hill just now might have
been to- convince himself that it was not
IA dream, that the old house was gone and
three persons who had befriended him
for q long time were dead.

Heavy Purchase.

Gentleman known Here Makes a
Heavy Purchase.
E. 2. Williams, brother-inlaw of DR..
H. w. Howard has just made heavy
investment at Duluth, Mimi. Mr.. Will
liams was in Honolulu several months
last year and intended at one time to
place considerable capital in the ISL
ands, but was unable to make salts
factory arrangements. He liked Homo
lulu very much and promised to re-
turn again for a visit. Following are
some of the details of the Duluth deal:
A. NJ. Miller transferred to E. q.
Williams the Lyceum Opera house
property, which includes the nlagnifi-
cent office and theater building and the
land on which it stands. on the north
east corner of Fifth avenue west and
Superior street The property has a
frontage of 125 feet on Superior street
and 142 feet on Fifth avenue. The
consideration named in the deed is only
5000 900. but the price actually paid
by Mr.. Williams is known only to him
self and Mr.. Miller. It is certain,
however, that the amount mentioned in
the deed does not represent one-half
the actual purchase price.
Competent judges of real estate val
ues say that the property would be
cheap at 100000.
The Lyceum theater is the best con-
structed building in Duluth. 1t is alb
solutely fireproof and its construction
was personally supervised by Mr.. Mil
Ter, who spared no expense in making
it perfect in all its appointments. 1t
was built in 1S90-91 and since it was
ready for occupancy the office part Of
it has been rented and has yielded a
handsome revenue.

MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The recent monetary conference at
indianapolis was composed OF 34'
delegates, representing twenty eight
States. The conference was called for
the purpose of arriving at some dell
mite plan to be presented to the extra
session of Congress which will be
called by President-elect Mckinley
soon after March 4th.
To many the results of the confer
ence have been disappointing, among
whom is Representative Walker, OF
Massachusetts, chairman OF the com
mittee on banking and currency OF
the present House, who supposed that
this conference would formulate some
specific measure which could be pre-
scented to Congress in the shape OF a
bill. 1t contented itself, however,
with passing general resolutions.
The principles of financial reform
which were unanimously agreed to by
the conference were the following:
first, the maintenance of the present
gold standard of value; second, the
retirement from circulation of the
government promises to pay, which
ought not to circulate as money; htrd,
such revision and enlargement OF the
present banking system as will give
the people currency which shall DE
both safe and elastic with better
and more equal distribution of bank
ing facilities.
AS to the first of these, the majority
OF the people of the land, by their
votes last fall. have declared in Its
favor. The second resolution is an
important one. The embodying OF
this into q law would remove the
necessity of future bond issues. II
would break up the endless chain
which has been drawn through the
United States Treasury by the Wall
street sharks, dragging out the gold
at every turn. The third is extreme
iy vague and indefinite. 1t suggests
some change. The embodying OF the
third into specific and practical Law
would be the most difficult task pre-
scented to Congress in recent years.
Before Congress undertakes such :
task, it might be advisable for it tc
consult with a committee of monetary
experts appointed for the particular
purpose of looking into and investi
eating this question. Whether the
Indianapolis monetary conference ha'
accomplished anything remains to b.
seen in the light of future events.
