Washington, May 12.- Senator Mantle Of Montana introduced two amendments to the wool schedule of the tariff bill Tuesday. He explained that one or these represented the views of the Na tional Wool Growers' association, while the other had been agreed to by a num ber of senators on the Republican side. The amendments were referred to the finance committee. Gear, chairman of the Pacific railroad committee, said he would not press his motion to proceed with the Pacific railroad bill, but would urge It on Thursday. The Morgan Cu ban resolution was taken up as soon as the routine business was out of the way and Morrill spoke In opposition. The senator said the purpose of all the Cu ban resolutions, including that of Mor gan, was to wrest from the executive the right he alone hitherto had exer cised of recognizing the belligerent rights or the independence of nations. Morrill declared that congress had no such power and Its exercise would be contrary to all precedents. Belligerent rights of revolters should not have rec ognition based merely on sympathy, but must be based on Justice and law. The 31 on roe loetrlne. Morrill then turned his attention to the new and botched version of the Monroe doctrine withull Its apocryphal additions by our Intrepid jlngoists, who sought to make the United States the "unmasked guardian and the lighting champion of all the American repub lics, big and little." If this new version was to be an established policy, then it was time to create an army and navy which will eclipse anything that might be brought against them, to pile up taxes to sustain a huge military estab lishment and to supplement the school master with the soldier. Foraker of Ohio, speaking on the Cu ban resolution and in favor of its ref erence to the committee on foreign re lations Tuesday said that he knew the administration had its policy on this question. Allen asked what the policy of the administration was and Foraker replied that It was to ascertain beyond peradventure the exaot situation in Cu ba. It had sent its duly authorized and accredited agent there to investigate the whole condition and report. 0 lloue I'pholds Cleveland. The house Tuesday took up the sub ject of forest reservations again. Un derwood, Democrat of Alabama, spoke briefly and was followed by Elds, re publican of Oregon, both of whom ad vocated the restoration of the reserva tions made by President Cleveland to the people. The house ly a vote of 100 to 39 refused to concur In the sen ate amendments to revoke President Cleveland's order as to forest reserva tions. The senate amendment to the sundry civil appropriation for S.10,000 to Improve Pearl harbor, Hawaii, Inspired a strong speech by llltt, the past and prospective chairman of the foreign affairs commit tee of the house, who supported the amendment. 1NTKK-STATK COM l KKCK.

Senator Harris of Kansas Tuesday Introduced a new bill for the regulation of Inter-state commerce, the transformation of the Inter-state commerce commission Into a court of railway commissioners and the regulation of pooling. The proposed court Is to consist of seven members and ii to have exclusive Jurisdiction of all matters arising under the bill and to have concurrent Jurisdiction with other United States courts in all cases of neg ligence.

The court Is to sit en banc at Washington and the United States Is to be divided Into seven districts, each to be presided over by a member of the court. Appeals to the circuit courts of appeals are provided for.

Vice President Ilobart will not overstep the senate rules to hasten ths passage of the tariff bill. There was a rumor that he would do so. When the rvpor was reported to him Tuesday hs said: senate in onMly procedure. There vTiTI bo no ut tempt, so fur as I am concerned, to break down the customs and prece dents of the senate. 1 am frank to say that I do not believe that the tariff bill will be parsed as toon ns I would like it to be, but thl will have no inlluence on my action. I hope, after the tariff bill bus pasted, that there may be some leform." Have you any idea how long the bill will be before the senate?" "You can tell that as well as I can. It is quite evident now that it will not be taken up as soon as was anticipated, and the delay has an apparently valid excuse. There will be considerable de bate en the general principles of the tariff, for ammunition must be supplied for the fall campaign. There will be more general speechmaklng, I think, than most people expect before the de tails of the bill are taken up." .Inline Day (Jualilies. Washington, May 12.

It was decided, among other things, to send one of the new gunboats. now building on the Pacific coast, to Sitka, Alaska, immediately upon Its completion, about July 1. The great activity in Alaska, growing out of the gold discoveries, has made the president and cabinet deem this step advisable for the safe guarding of American interests. Ire!ileulial Nominal Ioiih.

Eratus Wlman responded to the topic "Better Relations with Can ada." Among other things he said: "In the full view on both sides of a border line 4,000 miles long, of a depres- s'.cn unequaled In universality, severity and duration, the government on both sides are Intently engaged In building higher than ever the tariff wall. They are thus destroying about the only chance there Is of a revival of com merce or'an outlet for product and man ufactures. That the people of Canada sre favorable to the closest relationship to this country Is evidenced by the fact that Its new government has already shown itself ready to meet overtures by which the two countries can practically be united. Annexation Is unnecessary, undesirable and impossible. Canada Is today more loyal to CJreat Britain than ever before. All that Is needed now Is to have the commercial sentiment of all the great. cities express Itself In favor of a better relation TWO DAMS 1 CARRIED OUT.

The parliamentary committee appointed to Inquire into the Transvaal raid Tuesday continued the examination of the Duke of Abercorn, chairman of the Chartered company of British South Africa. In refuting the suggestion of Mr. Henry Labouchere, one of the members of the committee, that the raid was engineered fcr stock Jobbing purposes, witness said he had neither bought nor sold a single share of the company's stock during the last six months of 1893. The next witness was the Duke of Fife, son-in-law of the Prince of Wales. The duke said he had no knowledge whatever that the raid was to occur, nor had he any rusplclon that the chartered company's troops might be used any way in connection with the troubles at Johannesburg or elsewhere in the Tranvaal. The wit ness admitted that he had sold 1,000 Fhares of the company's tock during the autumn of 1895. The price was then about 6, but he failed to see what that had to do with the raid. Knew Nothing of the Kuid. "I state here, on oath," he added. "that 1 knew nothing of the raid, nor had the faintest suspicion that any in terference in the affairs of the Transvaal was contemplated by anybody connect ed with the Chartered company. Mr. Rhodes did not disclose to me his con nection with the revolutionary affairs at Johannesburg. I have great regard for Mr. Rhodes, but if pressed. I am per fectly willing to say that Mr. Rhodes deceived me. I am sorry to have to say so. but I have no doubt Mr. Rhodes will himself admit It." When asked if his sale of stocks had anything to do with fears of disturb ances In the Transvaal, he said: "Cer tainly not. I repudiate the Idea with indignation. Lord Clifford explained that the enrollment of Rhodes a horse and the importation of arms was not connected with the Transvaal. I had no suspicion that Mr. Rhodes was financing a revolution until after the raid." Sir Horace Farquhar. bart., a director of the British South Africa company and member of parliament for West Marylebone, testified that he Fold 500 shares of the company's stock late In 189.r. but said the raid could not be con nected with the market, because the directors were absolutely Ignorant of It DlssKNTINti CHI HOIKS WIN.

Hearing Itesumed llefore the lnl-r-Mut Com metre Commission. Philadelphia, May 12. The hearing before the inter-Mate commerce com- I mission of the freight differentials case was resumed Tuesday morning. Will iam R. Tucker, secretary of the Phila delphia Board of Trade, was the first witness to Illustrate the claim of the Philadelphia commercial Interests that the increased freight carrying business and the increased export trade of this city has been the natural result of im proved waterway facilities. Mr. Tuck er explained what had been done toward bettering the harbor facilities in the past twenty years. These increased facili ties, he said, had led the steamship companies and individual owners to greater activity in securing business for their vessels. In Mr. Tuckers cross- examination by Mr. Loomis, who rep resents the New York Central rail way, it was brought out that nearly all the grain cr other merchandise coming Into Philadelphia from the west for for eign exports is loaded on vessels at wharves owned by the Pennsylvania. Mr. Tucker stated that the Pennsyl vania Railway company owned more wharfage than any other corporation. Lawrence Johnson of the firm of Law rence Johnson & Co., said that In ex porting grain and provisions and Im porting general merchandise, he used the New York vessels for possibly seven-eighths of his business. He said he found the sailings there more frequent. When asked by Mr. Kernan, who rep resents the New York Produce Ex change, whether or not he exported grain from southern ports, he explained that he did not, because of the inabili ty to get the sort and quantity of what he needed at any point except New York. Mr. Johnson was the first wit ness to be directly questioned by mem bers of the commission. In reply to questions from the commissioners, he said cargoes from South America and also from the East Indias can be brought to New York and then re shipped to Philadelphia much cheaper than the same cargoes could be sent di rectly to Philadelphia.

Spooner, president of the Standard Tel ephone company, one of the largest In dependent telephone companies In the country, was interviewed on the decis ion of the United States supreme court In the Berliner telephone patent case. Mr. Spooner said: "My Information is that the decision simply acquits the Bell company and the patent ofiice of fraud and collusion In the Issuance of the Berliner patent. The merits of the patent are not in volved. Advices from Independent ex changes all over the country show them anxious to try conclusions with the Bell company. Similar patents have expired In foreign countries, and following the decisions of the United States supreme court In other cases the Berliner pat ent will finally be declared void.
