Twenty Minutes For Debate.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The house
committee Oh rules decided to present
special order sending the tariff bill to
conference as soon as it was received
from the senate. This will glue but 20
minutes debate on side. The Demo-
Gratis tried to secure an agreement for
time to debate the conference report,
but none was made. The Republicans
offered day and the Democrats asked
for three or four days.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Aa analysis
of the vote by which the tariff bill
was passed by the senate shows
that the affirmative vote was cast by 35
Republicans, Silver Republicans
Jones of Nevada and Mantle-and
Democrat - McEnery. The negative
vote was cast by % Democrats, Popu.
lists-Harris of Kansas and Turner
and Silver Republican - Cannon.
Eight Republicans were paired for the

Debate Began May 20.
The tariff debate began Cn May 25
on which day Mr.. Ald1ich, i'll behalf of
the finance committee, made the open.
ing statement on the bill. The actual
consideration of the bill began the next
day, May 26, when schedule A, relating
to chemicals, was taken up. The debate
has been continuous since then, cover
ing six weeks and one day. 1t has been
notable in some respects, although it
has lacked many of the dramatic and
oratorical features marking past de-
bates. From the outset the advocates
Of the bill refrained from set speeches,
and the discussion was narrowed down
to consideration of rates and sched'
ules, rather than general principles
Mr.. Aldrich's illness took him from the
chamber after the first day and since
then the bill has been in the immediate
charge Of Mr.. Allison.

WE MAKE GOOD BUTTER.
EXPERTS Give Points to the American Arti
Gle Over European.

Experts Give Points to the American Arti-
Gle Over European.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Finding it
difficult to get an unprejudiced and
definite comparison made in London
between butter sent there by the United
States department of agriculture with
the best products Of other countries,
Secretary Wilson directed his agent at
London to buy there representative
packages of fine butter from various
sources and send them in cold storage to
New York. This was recently done,
and the foreign lot included sample
casks Of the best English Dorsetshire),
Danish and French butter, and boxes
from Australian and Irish creameries,
as well as rolls of "sweet" or unsalted
butter, such as is sent daily from Brit
tany, and sells at the highest price in
the London market.
These foreign buffers have been crit
ically examined by the leading butter
merchants of New York, and compared
with packages reserved from a lot lately
sent abroad by the department, made in
creameries in Minnesota and Massachu-
BettS.
Minnesota Graded Highest.
Excepting the Australian, these but
ters were all about the same age. The
Danish, which ranks first i'll the salted
butter supply Of the English market,
was little newer and fresher than the
Minnesota package. The samples were
scored by Butter Inspector Bealy, Of the
New York Mercantile Exchange, and
Secretary Wilson has received his re-
port. On scale of 100 points the Min
nesota creamery butter was marked
961s, the Royal Danish" 95 and the
Massachusetts, butter 81. The last was
very small package, had been kept
three weeks, and had lost flavor, al
though evidently very fine article
when fresh. The fresh Brittany rolls
were also placed at 961a and the other
samples were placed at 90 and below.
The only ones marked perfect in grain,
texture or "body" were those from Min.
nesota, Denmark and Britanny. Mime
sofa and Britanny (unsalted) were both
placed at '3G1s out Of a possible 10 fol
| uuVOT, WITH N1iSSttCuuScVlS uuu DCAA
mark following at 35, and no Other
above 81.
Could Ship Butter Profitably.
This Judgment was concurred in by
majority Of the merchants 600 or more
who examined the samples. Severa
English merchants were also present.
This, Secretary Wilson believes, is
very conclusive demonstration that WI
can make in this country as fine buttel
as is produced anywhere and much bet
ter than most of that w,sich Great Brit
ain depends upon. And we can delive
it in good condition in London it tina
market will pay satisfactory price
for it.
The fresh Britanny rolls, SO mucl
admired, were quoted at 25 cents pc
pound wholesale in London, last month
and the Danish casks at 81 cents. Th
Minnesota butter thus pronounced
superior to the latter, sold in New Yorl
at the same time at Is or is cents AM
could be offered in London at 10 or 2
cents at q handsome profit.

THE TOWN VOTE.
All the Democratic Candidates Win with
Good Margins.

To-day is one Of rejoicing for the Demo
Gratis of Schuylkil and none of them are
more jubllaut than those residing in this
borough. The election of the entire Demo
cratic county ticket was materially aided by
the voters of Shenandoah and many Repub-
licans of the town are entitled to consider
able recognition for the result. The Repub-
licans who stood by their ticket nave more
than one very gratifying source of c~onsola-
ton. The Democrats had figured on from
600 to 800 majority for Toole, but it only
reached AIS. The Republicans conceded him
from $50 to $50 majority yesterday, so the
Democrats were much more out of the way
in what they secured than the Republicans
were in their concession. Another impor-
tant feature to be considered is that Shenan-
doah is a strong Democratic town, while
Ashland, Mahanoy City, st. Clair and
Minersville are Republican boroughs and all
gave the Democratic county ticket a good
majority. Even Pottsville, the Gibraltar Of
Republieauism in Schuylkill turned traitor to
the cause and gave an astonishingly reduced
majority, Last fall it gave the Republican
ticket a majority Of over 1000. This fall il
gave 400, a reduction of more than 800.
With all the slumping, stay-at-home and
cutting Shenandoah gave TOOle yesterday a
majority which only exceeded that given to
Dunn by 161 votes.
There is not much room for comment on
the battle fought in this borough, The one
aim on the Republican side before and during
the election was to hold down the majority
Of the enemy, and in this the fight was as
successful as could be expected. DisafectiOu
and of year Indifference were two formidable
/ obstacles in the Dath of the ReDublicans ot
town yesterday, and only those having a
knowledge Of The internal condition Of affairs
in the ranks can sufficiently appreciate what
those who stood by the ticket had to contend
with.
Much comment has been made upon the
results in the Second and Third wards, but q
comparison of figures show that, in view Of
all the circumstances the Democrats have
little, if anything, to braR about in connec
ton with those districts. In 1895 Dunn
carried the Second ward by 20 majority.
Yesterday Toole carried it by but 9 majority.
In the Dunn campaign Lyon only had a
majority Of 81 in the Third ward and yester.
day the ward gave Toole but 8 more. The
ward that made the worse showing for the
Republicans yesterday was the Fourth. Dunn
was given a majority of 22. Toole carried
the ward yesterday by us.
Little excitement followed the announce
ment of the returns and after ten o'clock las
night there were comparatively few peopl,
on the streets. The Republicans went ION,
satisfied that their county ticket was defeated
and the Democrats sought rest in peace afte.
a victory following a hard canyass.
The following tabulated borough return
are as follows:

Good Time on stolen Money and Then Re

Mary Balunis and Annie MtIntyre, aged
IA years, respectively, ran away from their

and compelled to carry the GROWER and
that was the reason they ran away from

girl induced her to steal the money and run
away. The latter was put under 5000 bail
for trial at court. No one furnished bail for
the Balunis girl and she was taken to Jail.
