THE VOTE STOOD 43 TO %
Will Become the Law of the
Land To-day.
ANNEXATIONISTS' VICTORY.
They Secure an Agreement in the House
that Vote on the Hawaiian Resolution
Shall be Taken Next Neutrality-suspicious.
teers Can Vote for Congressmen.

Washington, Jue 11.-Friday after
noon the conference report on the
war revenue bill was agreed to by tho
senate after a discussion lasting -four
hours. The debate upon the measure
was without special incident. 1t was
a foregone conclusion that the report
would be agreed to, and the only
question of interest involved was how
soon a vote could be reached. The de-
bate indicated generally that the bill
as agreed upon by the conferees was
reasonably satisfactory TO everybody
except as to the bond provision. The
votes cast against the adoption of the
report reflected the opinions of those
senator's who are opposed to any in
crease in the interest-bearing debt OF
the country.
The report was agreed to by vote
of 43 to %. Every republican voted
for the measure and their votes were
supplemented by those of eight demo-
Gratis. The democrats who voted for
the adoption of the report were
Catfery. German, Lindsay, McEnery,
Mitchell, Morgan, Murphy and Tur-
pie. The vote against the report was
cast by IS democrats, three silver men
and three populiSts. AS soon as the
presiding officers of the two branches
of congress. it will be sent to the
president. Just at the close of the
session bitter personal discussion
was precipitated by Mr.. Butler, who
attacked Mr.. Kyle for having voted
for the issuance of bonds.
HOuSe.-The feature of the session
of the house was the securing of an
agreement to consider and vote upon
the Newlands resolution to annex
Hawaii. Beginning to-day the debate
will proceed until o'clock next We'd
nesday afternoon, when Il vote will be
taken. The anneXationists were de-
termned to force consideration and
for three hours the opposition fill
bustered. Consideration of tn. reso-
lutions could have been prevented, as
under the rules recess until the
evening session necessarily would
have been taken at o'clock, but it
was plain that the anneXationists
would win their victory to-day. Real
izing this, and knowing the resolu-
tions would pass and go to the coun-
try. involving a prominent issue, the
opposition treated for liberal debate,
and their demands were granted.
Eight democrats voted with the an
nexationists in the movement to force
consideration of the resolutions.
The bill to enable volunteer soldiers
to vote at congressional elections was
passed, and Il number of minor meas
ures were considered.

Russia is Expected to Bell the Cat.

Vienna, june 1.-THE government
has declined to initiate mediation be-
tween the United States and Spain, as
it wishes to avoid the appearance of
making intervention seem only dy-
nastic action in the interest of the
queen regent. which, perhaps, might
give fatal offense. Nevertheless a
decided opinion is held that the time
for intervention is nearly at hand, al
though a hesitation to take the first
step is evident everywhere. The prob
ability is that Russia will undertake
the initiative.

Middlcsboror, Ky, June 11.-News
from the Howard-3aker feud in Clay
county is startling. Howard's party,
50 strong, has taken possession of the
town of Manchester. The Baker fol-
lowing, consisting of 40 well armed
men, have rendezvoused three miles
from the town. Judge Brown is unable
to hold court. Although he expects
troops sent by Gov. Bradley, it is
feared the two parties will come into
collision before the troops can arrive.

San Francisco, June S.-The princi-
pal event in the local war situation
yesterday was the departure of the
monitor Monterey and collier Brutus
for Manila. The order to get under
way was issued about / o'clock and
soon the wharvcs and docks on the
water front were crowded with people
arx:ous to witness the departure of
the formidable fighting machine and
the collier which is to accompany her.
Every steam whistle on the water
front blew a farewell, and as the two
vessels moved from the haEbor toward
the Golden Gate the crowd on the
wharves set up mighty CHEER.

London, June 8.-A dispatch to the
Mail from Cape Haytien says: The
American victory at Santiago has
cleared the way for the entrance of
Admiral Sampson and the destruction
of the Spanish fleet. AS Santiago's
land defenses are reported weak, it is
likely that the city will yield to a
vigorous attack. 1t is reported that
the commander of the Reina Mercedes,
second in command in the Spanish
fleet under Cervera, was killed during
the engagement. The combined
American and insurgent forces are en-
trenched near Daiquiri.

An early and abundant harvest is

NEW YORK, June 24.-Redection Of
the advanced stage of the season is
found in a perceptible quieting down CT
country, and accompanying this have
been announcements of the fixing Of
periods of annual shut downs in many
industrial lines, but significant and
changed conditions which now animate
and control business as compared with
corresponding periods in previous
years are the continued large gains in
the volume of bank clearings over pre-
ceding years, quite favorable reports
from most of the country's leading in
dustries, notably iron and steel, in
which next years wage scales are be-
ing adjusted with unexampled ease
comparatively heavy exports of cereals
and other products Of the leading ports,
and rather less than the usual shading
of prices, common at this period Of
the year as the result of the advance
into the midsummer period.
Following the decentralization in
wheat prices has come more steady
| tone and the growth of feeling that
perhaps the bear" movement in prices
may be overdone, as was the bull,
| movement, which eliminated a month
ago. With the exception of a rather
| spotted condition Of the wheat crop in
| different states, chiefly as the result Of
| too much moisture, the crop situation
| In the crop as a whole has rather i'm
proved. Less is heard, however, about
extravagant wheat yield estimates, but
trade opinion inclines to expect the
production of a crop of wheat in excess
Of all previous totals.
| The iron situation, while encourage
Ing, as far as present business is con-
cerned, has not developed sufficiently
| to allow Of any very pronounced FORE
casts of next seasons business. Con-
cessions made by employers, however,
| fidence in a continuance of large busi-
ness, at least at prevailing prices,
which, it should not be forgotten, are
in numerous instances higher than
they were year ago.
The tone OF cotton manufacturing has
| quite perceptibly improved, this being
due, perhaps, on one hand to the plao-
| ing Of large amounts Of bleached goods
at price concessions, and to the develop
| ment in some degree Of the delayed
| Eastern demand for summer fabrics.
| Less satisfaction is expressed in the
| wooden goods trade, and business here
is classed as slow and unprof1ta ble
with raw wool rejecting dullness in
| manufacturing and unchanged Eastern
quotations.
Cereal exports are naturally enough
smaller than in recent weeks, but are
still heavily In excess Of preceding
years. Wheat shipments for the week
aggregate 1898, 470 bushels, as against
1896, 900 bushels last week, but compar.
ed with 2,156,000 bushels in this week
year ago, 2.S37. 900 bushels in 1895, l..

the declines in the price of grain and the

the high prices at which American bread
