THE REPUBLICANS MAY AGREE itaonc ThentMlrra Btfart (ha leMftli U Tiktu Vp la OrtUr to Kxpcdtt* the jlMiart-Siulor Aldrlch's IIIrni ?

Houm. 1 WASHINGTON, June 1?White tho tariff will continue the general topic of discussion In the senate during the present week. there la no certainty as to what portion of It will receive especial attention. This uncertainty is due largely to the difficulty of determining when tfte sugar schedule wiU be taken up. It It so generally Unde*tood that this schedule Will consume considerable time that there is po effort to outline beyond it the course cf proceedings. The wood schedule will afford a brief rwpite Mbnday before reaching the ?ujr.*r question, as that subject was K?ft undisposed of nrhen the senate aOJourned on Saturday. Senator Allen probably trill enter a motion to strike out the #>ntrv paragraph relating to sawed lumber and the motion may lead to other j apeeches than his own. Whether the sugar schedule will be | tak-n up In order Is still undetermined. j Tbere are many difference* of opinion ?.n | the subject, but the prevailing desire id to gMi Che schedule out of the way won as possible. This Is the ca>e 0n both sides of the chamtwr. but It is especially true of the Republicans, as the responsibility for action rests there. Still Am is a desire among Republican senators that there should be absolute Acvement among themselves on the rates of this schedule before entering upon Its discussion In the senate, and it Is realised that this may be difficult of attainment without a further exchanict! of opinions than has yet been permitted. Tbere is no doobt in any event of a postrwnement until Senator Aldrich's return to the senate. He Is still con fine J to his rona. but Is expected to be out early in the week. That the Hawaiian treaty *111 be protected by the finance committee 1s considered settled, but a caucus may he necessary to determine whether . Aer changes should be made. Senator PftUfrear has decided definitely to offer tin anti-trust amendment In connection with this scheme, but beyond the fact that It will lead to a number of speeches th?re is no certainty as to Its course or its fct*. The tobacco schedule Immediately foltovra the sugar schedule; but If it should breached on Monday it would be neoos* wry aUo temporarily to po*? it over, as the committee has promised the tobacco cien a hearing on Monday night. They wlii ask for two dollars on wrapper oxi'-l :.-.r'> -Mve cents on filler tobacco. There baito an Inclination to return to the laniratce ??f the WUson law on this subject. This is understood to be the wish of both the Importer* and the tobacco grower*. Ther- are many sharp contests ahead cn paragraphs of the agricultural schedule. which Is next after tobacco, including those on rice. i?n which there will be an effort to secure a return to th?hcu*e rates; on cattle, on which It win be claimed there shouM be an ad valorem rather than a specific duty and on fish, fruit', chicory and salt. The innovation of a duty on tea Is also proposed on this schedule, but it Is practically certain that this provision will be withdrawn t>y the committee. Thus what would have b*en one of the severest contests over rfcc bill will be avoided. The cotton and spirit schedules will, it is thought, excite comparatively llttl* debate. The house has no work ahead of It this week and it I* the intention 01 majority leaders to adjourn to-morrow until Thursday and from Thursday until Monday. Mr. Simpson and oth^r members of the minority doubtless will essay ttse- u.iual manoeuvre* with the purpose, of embarrassing the Republican*, but in | the present condition of the house their latitude Is narrow and they easily can be overborn by their Adversaries.

T., June 6.-The Democratic party will not force national Issues In the various local campaigns and elections In this state this fall, and whllo repudiation of the Chicago platform will not bo allowed. It will not be brought forward as on Issue paramount to anything else. This Is the statement of National Committeeman Frank Campbell. of Oath. Mr. Campbell was In the city lo*nlght, fresh from a conference with party leaders, and said: "The policy of the Democratic party of the nation as laid down In tho platform of 1896, cannot be disturbed until the next Democratic naUonul convention. which will be held In 1900. It will mako no difference whether state, city or county convention indorses It or repudiates it. it will stand unaltered. In the election last fall, the regular organisation of the state of New York was loyal and true to the nominees and platform of the Chicago convention. The 8urne organisation heartily supported Mr. Cleveland four years ago a* the Democratic candidate for President, although their delegate* were opposed to him in the national convention. "I believe In home rule. If the Democrats of the city of New York. BufYaJo or Rochester deem it expedient and wise for party success to conduct their local elections without inj?*cting Into them state or national l.tsucs, I believe they have a perfect right to do so without interference of any state or national committee. "Democrats living in the state outside of the city of New York are looking anxiously for the election of a Democratic mayor for Greater New York. If this could bo accomplished it would encourage the rank and file of the party and enable the organization to get into tightlnir shape for the Important state election that Is to take plaoe a year from this fall, when governor. Mat* officers and legislature arc to be elected. "If we carry Greater New York and elect these officers next year, then the party will be In shape with a fair chance of plsclnfc New York state In the Democratic column In 1900. "As the representative of the regular organization of New York on the national commlttee.'l can state that as far as I know the national committee has no d^lre to Interfere in New York state In lUi local elections this fall, or to dictate to th* Democracy of New York what their Isaurs should be In these elections."

Broken hearts call to hearts equally sad and distressed with prayer for strength and great sobs of sympathy. "May all Christian hearts throughout the length and breadth of this free land of ours gooutinsyropathy to the sorrowIttw In our mMlt moHn (ImaUi* by misguided minds. Never did soldiers on any battlefield dlo for a moro holy and righteous cause than these bravo boys for the purity of their homes, for mother*, daughters and sisters.
