still to be considered are those pertaining
coal, zinc, window glass, scrap iron, cot
ton ties. cotton bagging, leather goods
binding Irvine and petroleum.
Rough lumber remains on the dutiable
list, but the question of the amount Of
duty and the dfferential between the
duty on rough lumber and on the manu-
featured article remain to be settled. In
the paper schedule the principal items to
be considered are the duty on ground
wood and print paper. 1t seems probable
that the ground wood, or pulp, will be left
free, but that the rate on paper will be
made 81 per ton instead of 81, as fixed by
the House. and Sc as Is the present law
This provisions will be left open as long
as possible to permit Senator Hale, who
has been absent because of illness. to be
present when the subject comes up. He
will stand out staunchy for a stiff duty
on all Of these articles. Hides. Goa. and
petroleum are giving the finance COM
mittee no little concern, but the present
indications are that the Senate will place
4 duty on all of these articles. Zinc, zinc
ore and zinc in blocks, pigs and sheets
considered, such as sulphte of ammonia
There is a demand for reduction and
Redistribution of the window glass
schedule, but any prediction as to what
the result might be would be misleading
The same may be said of the contest be-
tween pig iron and scrap iron in the
metal schedule.
The Southern senators are making an
earnest though probably unsuccessful eff
fort to have cotton ties and cotton bag
sng made free of duty, and the binding
Irvine provisions has been held up until
the cotton tie question can be decided.
The leather schedule, including leather
itself and leather goods, is suspended
awaiting the decision on hides
Other important articles which remain
undecided are pineapples and monaZite
and thOrite, which are ingredients in the
nantes of incandescent light. 1t is also
understood that the finance committee
will bring i'm some further changes in the
silk schedule.
1t Is yet uncertain how much discussion
the finance committees provision relat-
ing to maximum and minimum rates will
provoke, but it is expected that it will
be thoroughly elucidated before it finally
receives approval
1t is generally understood that the COM
mittee will recommend a drawback pro-

the present law rather than accept the

SMITH COLLEGE.
President L. Clark SeeyIe Speaks from
Psalm &c, Verse II.

Northampton, Mass, June 13.-The
annual Baccalaureate address to th'
students of Smith College was deliver
ed today by President l.. Clarke Seelyc
in the First Congregational church
From Psalm xc. DR.. Seelye selected
the 18th verse: And let the beauty
of the Lord. our God, be upon us; ant
establish Thou the work of our hands
upon US; yea the work of our hands
establish Thou it," as his text, speak
ing in part as follows:
This longing for beauty was one OF
the most distinctive traits Of mankind
1t is manifested among all classes OF
people. Poetry, sculpture, painting
and music satisfy no animal want
they cannot feed nor shelter us; tbs
body can grow and think withou;
them. But they minister to a craving
in the human spirit which is as inn
perative as a hunger and thirst"
Continuing DR.. Seelye said there arc
many spurious limitations of Christiani-
ty which hinder it's progress and foster
unbelef, but in spite of it all there was
never as great an appreciation OF ma
ture and of it's form and elements a.
there is today.

ing invasion this summer for the races
for the Taft and Draper cups, inter-
est in the sender yachting, sport
which calls for a small, inexpensive.
easily handled, but restricted type of
pleasure boat. is reviving rapidly, and
nearly a dozen newly built little craft
are already riding at anchor in this
harbor. 1t is expected that in another
month the entire feet of American as
pirants for the three places OH the
team which will represent this country
in the cup races will be in commission.
The German trial races will be held
tho last of the month and fully as
many boats will start at kfel at that
time as at Marblehead on the week
of Aug. is. In both trial events some OF
the older boats will participate. The
German trials will also decide who,
with a representative of the Royal
house will visit these waters and match
his skill as an amateur sailor against
his American rivals.
The German yachting delegation,
however, will surely include Admiral
Barondon, director of shipbuilding at
KEEL who, with Henry Howard of the
Eastern Yacht Club Of Boston, con-
ceived the idea Of international contest
for the sender type Of yacht.
The sender yachts will be still further
restricted this year. principally as to
cost and management. The outlay on
each boat, including two suits Of sails
cannot be over $1,000 and during the
trial and cup races all hands must be
strictly Corinthian sailors. AS before
the maximum length of the sender
yachts is 80 feet and their displacement
not less than 4035 pounds. while the
crew is limited to three men.
In the American trial races at least
nine clubs will be represented and pos
sinly more, as the entry list does not
close until July II. The German yachts
are expected here the last of July.

reached Haiti, town of considerable size
4G miles southeast of Davao A company
OF constabulary stationed there hurried

With the receipts of the news of the

tachments of the 23d Infantry have reach
ed Davao and have quickly succeeded in
restoring order.
Several columns of troops were imme-
diately dispatched in pursuit of the mutt
neers. 1t is believed here that the mutt
ny was purely local, resulting from diff
culties over food supplies or the care
of women members of the family of the
constabulary.
1t is thought to be confined to members
of the one company at Davao and the
fact that neighboring camps, also com
posed of natives. hurried to the relief of
the besieged troops and Americans at the
place is cited as proof Of this.
