Senate Programme This Week.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-The sugar
schedule of the tariff bill is expected to
continue to be the subject of consideration
in the Senate for the next day or two. The
Hawaiian treaty and antitrust amend
ments are still TO be disposed of and both
will excite considerable debate. With the
sugar question settled, the agricultural
schedule, which has been partially consid-
cred, will be again taken up, and will in
time be followed by the tobacco schedule,
if in the meantime the Republicans agree on
its provisions. The Republican managers
hope to also dispose of the spirit and cot
ton schedules during the week and possibly
to make some progress with the hemp and
fax provisions. There will be no great
amount of debate on either cotton or spirits.
There at one time talk of an attempt
to add compensatory duties cotton
goods because of the duty fixed on raw
cotton, but this is understood to have been
abandoned, if ever seriously contemplated.
The Democrats do not find the present
schedule Objectionable except in minor de-
tails and will allow ii to go through with
but little discussion. The Republican man
ayers now hope that the debate in the
Senate will be concluded within the next
%wo weeks notwithstanding less than one
third of the bill has been gone over They
have secured an agreement with the Demo-
Gratis that the sessions shall begin at II
o'clock each day instead of II after Wednes-
day next

Comments of the london Press on the
Liverpool Speeches.

LONDON, June 14.-All the morning
papers comment on the speeches of the
Duke of Deyonshire and Wilfred Laurier,
the Canadian premier, at the banquet given
Saturday night in Liverpool by the Cham
Der of Commerce. Most of these comments
are in tone of lively satisfaction. The
Times says: This silent, gradual process
of awakening throughout the country on
the trade question has brought about an
astonishing change which is now beyond
all controversy. The recent tariff legisla-
ton in Canada and the discussions as to
Australian confederation seem to indicate
that we may be on the eve of some remark
able development. but the remarks of Mr..
Laurier and those of some of the Aus
tralian ministers showed signs that not all
is plain sailing"
The Morning Post says: 1.-THE Duke of
Devonshire's speech is a funeral Grafton
on the Cobdenite school. 1t is obvious
enough that the lead taken over the seas
on this question finds a response in the
growing opinion of the British people"
The Standard says: THE Duke of Devon
shire's candor was complete and credit
able"
The Daily News contends that Mr..
Lauriers tariff proposing to discriminate
in favor of British goods, IS "a remarkable
within the British empire" 1T thinks it in
excusabie that the Duke of Devonshre

him that Mr.. Laurier is the head
of a Liberal Ministry, and that Cam
ada is perfect example of successful home
rule The Daily News concludes its edi-
torial by urging the government to de-
nonnce the German and Belgian treaties
The Daily Chronicle says: 1T must be
admitted that the Duke of Devonshire rep
resents good deal of floating opinion but
we shall do our colonial friends ill service
if we lead them to suppose that England
will ever ioin the protectionist ring. We
think it a very doubtful policy to denounce
the treaties with Germany and Belgium,
ume of trade in order to gain a slight adj
vantage with Canada, whose trade must
soner or later, by the laws of nature, be
largely concerned with American markets.

A Lost Treasure Island.

The mysterious island of the south
ern ocean wherein rich deposits Of
guano are said to be has not been
discovered yet, though the little
schooner Moonlight that arrived re-
Gently from Mazatlan searched for It
all seas over in the latitude and longl-
tude where 1t is believed to exist, says
the San Francisco Bulletin. Treasure
Island and its wealth of phosphates
still exists merely as an unknown
quantity for the rough charts Of old
Capt. Martin and his adventurous asso-
ciates are either in error or else some
strange seismic phenomenon caused
the lost isle to disappear years ago.
For a number of years the lost is
land of the South Pacific has been
searched for by ambitious seamen. The
stories concerning 1t are various and
romantic, and to great extent con-
fiicting, though the narratives all seem
to center on the fact that the place
exists somewhere about 400 or 500
miles southwest of Clipperton island,
and 10 a low coral atol which Is COW
cred with the richest phosphates. The
little unknown also has It's legends of
pirates treasures, and according to an
old volume containing mention OF Lord
Clipperton's voyages, was once the rem
devious Of pirates.
One Of the expeditions OF recent date
which have been fitted out to look for
the island was the Vine expedition.
The Vines owner, Capt. Burns, accord
ing to the first officer of that craft,
secured his knowledge of the place
from an old sea captain named Mar
tin, who died some years ago, and who
left an old chest among his belongings
which told Of a small island in the
South Pacific uUt down on the regular
charts, enormously rich in phosphates
Martin claimed that his vessel was
driven out of her regular course by
head winds and came across the island
which he described. He took note Of
the latitude and longitude, hoping some
day to raise enough money to fit out
vessel to proceed to that spot and
take possession, but death put an end
to his aspirations.
The Moonlight on leaving Mazatlan
was In charge Of Capt. Spencer, and
had a number Of local men on board
who still have faith in the theory that
the island is still above water, and
that the old sea dogs who sighted It
IN past years simply made errors in
their reckonings and have caused all
subsequent failures to find the land
of fortune.

The fact that O process for the manu-
facture of silk directly from wood pulp
has proved en- unquestionable CONNER
cial success, means not only that the
silk worm raising industry as well as
the silk worm itself is doomed but
marks the latest step in that wonder
full advance within the last ten years in
the use Of wood pulp as a material for
manufacture. Artificial silk is being
made from wood pulp In considerable
quantities by two firms In Great Brit
ain, and by several others In France.
There is really nothing so very won=
derful about 1t, since 1t is simply doing
mechanically and chemically what the
silk worm does. The latter simply eats
up the leaves of the mulberry tree, d.
gests them, adds certain glue, and
spins the cellulose like stuff thus form
ed into Its cocoon. The new process
similarly takes suitable wood pulp,
treats 1t chemically, and forces this
mixture through fine tubes into run
ming water, where it hardens, and the
thread thus formed is caught UP by
delicate fingers, dried and spun into an
ordinary silk thread. The fabric made
from this thread Is said to be detectible
from real silk only by means Of the
microscope. ~

Halluclnati0ns.

Professor Scripture has lately re-
corded some curious results obtained
In series Of experiments which are
intended to show that halIucinations
can be measured. First with regard
to hearing. The person experimental
with was placed In quiet room and
was told that telegraph sounder
there whenever 1t clicked would be
accompanied by faint tone Of sound
which would every time increase in in
tensity. Every time he heard the tone
he was to touch a telegraph key, so
that the operator in distant room
who originated the sounds would
know that the apparatus was working
satisfactorily. After the first few oc-
casions 1t was sufficient to work the
sounder only, the person experimental
with being firmly convinced that he
vet heard the extra tone as well. Ex-
periments of similar nature were
made on other senses. For example,
a metronome was set in action, and

A Windy Wen.

Arizona possesses some OF the great
est natural wonders in the world, not
the least of which is the phenomenon
Of current OF air issuing from or going
into the bowels of the earth through
sundry natural and artificial openings
made In the earth's crust. Something
over year ago Mr.. Coufman un-
dertook the drilling Of a we'll at his
place, Everything went Tsll to o
depth OF some twenty-five feet, when
the drill suddenly dropped some SIX
feet and a strong current of air Issued
from the hole. The escaping air cur
rent was so strong that 1t blew OH
the mems hats who were recovering
the lost drill. The we'll was OF course
abandoned and left to blow, but there
are some pecullarities about 1t that
are worthy Of observation. The air
will escape from the we'll for days at
time with such force that pebbles
the size Of peas are thrown out and
piled up about Its mouth until 1t looks
very much like the expanded portion OF
a funnel. AT the same time 1t Is ac-
companied by a sound much like the
distant believing Of a foghorn. This
noise is not always present, because
the air does not at all times escape
with the same force. Again, there will
be for days a suction current, unac-
companied by sound, In which the cur
rent of air passes into the earth, with
some less force than It escapes, and
any light object ASIA feather, piece OF
paper or cloth, will, If held in close
proximity, be Immediately sucked into
the subterranean labyrinth Of Aeolus.
Just the cause of this phenomenon no
one has yet been able to determine,
but It Is supposed that there is an UNI
foreground opening between the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for more than mile In
depth, and the Sycamore Canyon, some
eighty miles to the south Of It, OF the
same proportions, but much shorter.
This would seem possible from the fact
that the current Of air is always pass
ing from north to south or vice versa.
