DELAYED THE TARIFF BILL,
Proposed Bounty on Beet Sugar Upset
the Senate's Plans.

Proposed Bounty on Beet Sugar Upsets
the Senate's Plans.
Kansas City Times.
Washington. D. c., July 3.-The
end or the extra session is not vet
in sight. Pre.i lent McKinley's pre-
dictions Of a tariff bill before july 4
have CO ne to grief, and it will prob
ably b. the last week in July before
adjournuspt comes. A strong ef-
fort will be made by Senator Aid
rich to + nc- Il, vote Wednes day next
in tn S-n-te. He wants to do this
80 that the house nay have the
measure WHEN it convenes Thursday.
If be is successful, the bill will be in
conference by July 8. Not more
than ten days will be required to
complete it there, but that will ran
the session to July Is, with q pros
pect of three CT four days additional
stay.
While the bill has been gone over
once, there remains several perplex-
ing problems. The proposition to
levy tax Of 2 cents per share upon
all transfers of stock or bonds is not
yet acted on. Despite opposition
from all the stock exchanges of the
country, the Republicans must force
adoption of this amendment. With
out it the bill will fall $3,OOO,O0O
short of the needed revenue, and
with it the deficiency will be reduced
to probably $2O,0OO,OOO.
The amendment for a bounty of
II cents per pound on beet sugar,
which was presented by the finance
committee and then withdrawn, will
have to bs voted on. Senator Allen
of Nebraska insists that q vote shall
be taken. Senator Chiffon of Texas
and Senator Pettus Of Alabama are
equally firm upon the antitrust
amendment. The Senate Republi
cans will be playing in luck if they
get the bill to the House Wednes-
day night.
The tariff bill has gone over until
Monday and ell efforts to tix the
time for q final vote in the Senate
have proved futile When the Sen
ate met today there was some hope
that the final vote would be reached
tonight, but this was speedily dis
PEELED by the storm occasioned when
Mr.. Allison reported new amend
ment from the finance committee
giving bounty of one-qusrter of 8
cent pound on beet sugar from
beets grown in the United States.

Columbus, o, July ITO the
100000 men just forced into idle
ness by the shutting down of all the
tin, iron, steel and glass works IN
the country there will soon be add
ed an army of 375,00O miners who
were to day ordered to strike. In.
cluding those affected by sympathy
strikes threatened, almost a half
million OF men will then bs thrown
out of employment within a few
days time
1t is officially announced to-day
that general strike of miners be.

of America in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Illinois
had been ordered for July 4 by the
national executive board and also
by the district presidents, as the re-
suit of the meeting held here June
"a, 25 and 26. The strike order af-
fects probably 375,60O men.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 3.-The
greatest labor struggle in the his
tory of the country is on. In addi-
ton to the 100000 coal miners who
have been ordered to CEASE work on
July 4, the indications now are the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, numbering
fully 225,000, will strike in the en-
deavor to enforce their demand for
an increase in wages. The advance
demanded by the miners amounts
to nearly 10 cents per ton.
While Columbus. Ohio, is head
quarters OF the Miners Union, the
great strike will be directed from
Pittsburg, and this city will be tho
pivotal point.
President Ratchford wired to
President Garland of the Amalgam.
ated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, notifying him of the
coming national strike and asking
fer support. President Garland
wired back that the iron and steel
workers would do everything possi-
BILE in their efforts to help the miners
in their struggle for living wages.
So far as reports have been re.
ceived from the various states
afft C. e / by the order to cease work,
the leaders are hopeful that the or
der will b. obeyed aud the cessation
will be general. 1t is probable from
indications now that the strike viii.
extend to the coal fields of Iowa,
Alabama, Maryland and Tennessee.
Precautions have been taken to in.
duce the men to refrain from vio-
lence and avoid conflicts with the
county aad state authorities. Blu.
it is not Improbable that the riotous
scenes of other strikes In the Goa
fields may be repeated before the
close of the present struggle.

JAPAN WILL ARBITRATE.
Hawaii's Proposition Has Been Ac-
cepted.

Washington, July 3O.-The Japanese
government has accepted the offer made
by Hawaii to arbitrate the dispute be-
tween the two countries.
The state department has been in
formed of the offer and the acceptance.
The subject of arbitration will include
not only the difficulty over the landing
of the Japanese immigrants, but also
Will include other disagreements be-
tween the two countries, the most i'm
pOrtant of which is the Sake tax impOS-
ed upon japanese liquor largely i'm
ported and consumed by the Japanese
in Hawaii.
The acceptance of the offer of arbi-
tration, a brief synopsis of which has
been cabled to the Japanese minister
here and given to the state department,
states that the Japanese government
accepts arbitration in principle and is
prepared to enter upon the terms for
a settlement of pending disputes. The
formal letter of acceptance has been
sent to Hawaii and the conditions of
arbitration will be contained therein.
Those conditions are not known here.
Pending the arrangement of details all
other proceedings looking to a settle
ment will be discontinued.
When the officials of the state de-
partment were informed of the offer
and acceptance of arbitration, the secre-
taTy of the Japanese lega ton here was
informed that until the annexation
treaty was concluded the United States
would not assume any authority in the
matter and that the present dispute
must be considered as between Japan
and Hawaii.
The secretary in reply said he was
glad to learn that such was the posi-
ton of the United States, as it would
permit Japan sending two or three war
ships to Hawaii, pending final action on
the arbitration treaty.
This Interpretation of the situation
rather surprised the state department
official who answered that the United
States would consider in a different
light an agreement of arbitration and
the sending of war ship and intimated
that non-interference by the United
States in one case could not be con-
Strued as passive acceptance of the lat
ter position.
The Japanese secreary was told, how
ever, that in the absence of Secretary
Sherman and Assistant Secretary Day
nothing could or would be said official
ly upon the subject and any conversa-
ton Xnust be considered as wholly I'M

The MillS=AdamS Go.
Named tho Fabrics.

At a very early period in the north
ern republics OF Italy commerce and
manufacture became very active, due in
a great measure to the stimulus given
by the maritime supremacy of the cities
of Genoa, Pisa and Venice and to the
corresponding activity in trade in such
prosperous interior cities as Milan,
Florence, Bologna and Padua. Milan
and Mantua gave US milliners and man.
tua makers, and Leghorn attached its
name to certain kind of hat and straw.
England, Ireland and Scotland have
given a number of names to fabrics
made in certain localities, of which
tweeds, cheviots and linsey woolsey are
familiar examples. Worsted comes from
the village of Worsted, near Norfolk,
and drugget may be traced to Droghe-
da, Ireland.
Other materials of diverse origin are
batiste, so called from its French in
ventor, Baptiste, and grenadine, which
was first made in Grenada. The deri-
walton of the word jet is quite interest
ing. 1t was first found near the river
and town of Gagas, in Asia Minor,
whence its old French name, gagate.
Jayet or jaet, which eventually devel
oped into the English jet.

TO COLOMBO PALESTINE.
diisch Charities Contemplate an In
dependent Jewish State.

New York, July Boa dispatch to the
World from London says:
The representatives OF the Baron
seriously the scheme of DR.. Theodore
Hertzle of Vienna for the formation OF
an independent Jewish state in Pales-
tine. 1t is said that the Hebrews are
organizing in all parts of the world.
The doctor intends first to send an
exploring expedition to thoroughly over
haul the land from end to end and to
establish telephones, telegraph and
other modern scientific cOnVeniences be-
fore opening the territory to general
settlement
To obtain sovereignty over Palestine
he says will be easy, as the Turks will
be glad to let it go. He points to his
decoration by the Turkish government
as evidence that it thinks favorably OF
his scheme. If Turkey should refuse
to give Palestine up, he says the Otto
man empire will surely disintegrate,
and the Jewish company can obtain
Palestine when the powers divide up
Turkish territory
If it proves impossible to get PaleS-
tine he will turn to Argentine.
To confer on this point a congress
will be held at Basic, August 20. The
doctor says there is no doubt that this
congress will be the redeemer of the
Hebrews. There is no intention to fol-
low socialistic lines. He proposes a
limited monarchy like that OF Great
Britain.
The capital of the Jewish company is
to be $3.50, 600 600

Ancient ThermopYIee.

An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that in spite of the
fact, which is we'll known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategioal position of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-
tive route by Deleghi, which crosses the
hills a mile and a half north of the
springs by we'll engineered zigzags, is
equally capable of defense and leads in
to a country of a most difficult charac-
ter. Either pass might be held indef-
nitely by 5000 men. The coast road is
absolutely commanded from the heights
so that a comparatively small force
would render it impossible, while the
fiat lowland lying near the sea is
marshy and intersected by dikes.

Says NJ. Machuroa, Who Helped Him
Prepare for the Trip.

Paris, July 3O.-M. Machuron, who
superintendent Herr Andree's prepara-
tions for his expedition in search of the
North Pole has returned here. He says
that all the preparations were entirely
successful and that it is impossible that
the White sea Herr Andree, NJ. Ma
churon adds, regarded it as quite pos
sible that he might not be heard of for
a year.
Stockholm, July 3O.-Dr. Eckholm, who
was associated with Herr Andree in his
projected balloon voyage last year,
writes to the Aftonbladet that he de-
clined to join in the present attempt
because the inpermeabi of the bal
loon was unsatisfactory.
He says it1ost 81 cubic metres of gas
daily from the time of imitation. In his
opinion it would not float longer than
from % to "a days. Inasmuch as the
voyage, under ordinary conditions of
wind, would take at least "a days, DR..
EckhOlm believes it will be remarkably
fortunate if he succeeds at all.
