JiO VOTE Ofl Til RIFF THE DELAY CAUSED BY A PRO POSED BEET SUGAR BOUXTY AMKXDMEXT. FIRST READING COMPLETED. MR. ALLISON MOPES TO HAVE A VOTE ON MONDAY OR TUBS DAT. UEIU'BMr.W SIDi: OX THE ROCKS. A l'rutniclril Debate on the Bouuty CiniiMo Promised by Mr. Jones, of ArUaiisum. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The tariff Dili has gone over until Monday, and all effort to fix the time for a final vote in the senate has proved futile. When the senate met today there was some hope that the final vote would be reached tonight, but this was speedily dispelled by the storm occasioned when Mr. Allison reported a new amend ment from the finance committee, giv ing a bounty of one-quarter oeat a pound on beet sugar made from beets grown In the United States. Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, speaking for the minority, coon took occasion to say that no vole could be reached on the bill in the near future in view of this bounty amendment. He intimated that the the debate would be very protracted from this time forward. Mr. Teller, of Colorado, supplemented this view, saying that the appearance of such an amendment at the last moment looked as thoysrh the Republicans were try ing to Velay the passage of their own bill. As it became apparent that the bounty provteioin might cause serious delay, Mr. Thurston, of Nebraska, one of the prime movers, arose, and, in im pressive tones, withdrew the amend ment, saying his action was inspired by patriotic motives, and for the purpose of removing all obstacles to the pas sage of the bill. His colleague, Mr. Allen, immediately renewed the bounty proposition, so that the complication was the same as before. Late in the day Mr. Allison sought to have a time fixed for the vote, but the bounty amendment stood in the way, and all appeals to Mr. Jones were in vain. Mr. Allison finally gave notice that he would expect to pass the bill Monday or Tuesday. During the day the bill was brought to a state of practical completion, the only remaining items being the new propositions submitted by the commit tee and individual senators. Besides the bounty amendment, Mr. Allison proposed late in the day an amend ment for stamping bonds, etc., which went over un>til Monday. Among the features disposed of today was the anti-trust section, the provisions of the Wilson act on that subject being re-enacted. Mr. Mills (Dem., Tex.) brought forward a new amendment for a tax of twenty cents a pack on playing cards, which was agreed to by "unanimous vote amid much amuse ment and surprise, as Mr. Mills had not expected this result. All Of the administrative sections of the bill and that repealing the Wilson act. were disposed of during the day, and th? paragraph proposing a tax on beer was withdrawn by the committee. The senate adjourned to Monday, no effort being made to observe the na'ional holiday. The tariff bill was taken up prompt ly and Mr. Allison presented three amendments, not for immediate ac tion, he said, but in order that they might be speedily printed. Thfi first of these proposed a bounty of one- j quarter of a cent per pound on beet j sugar made from beets grown in the United States from July 1, 1898, to July 1, 1903. Mr. Allison also proposed two new amendments embodying sections 7 and 11 of the administrative paragraphs of the law r of 1890. He also gave notice that the amendment heretofore offered by Mr. Spooner (Wisconsin), providing for a comprehensive tariff inquiry by three members of the board of ap praisers, would be inserted on page 213. This last amendment subse quently went over. Section 6, as reported by the com mittee, relating to the internal revenue tax on tobacco and snuff, was struck out, and section 7, relating to the tax cm cigars and cigarettes, was agreed to as reported. The sections relating to protecting trade marks also were agreed to. The sections relating to the free ad mission of lumber cut in province of New Brunswick when owned by American citizens, were agreed to with a further proviso that the lumber shall be cut "by American labor." After the first reading of the bill had been completed, Mr. Jones announced that, in view of the new amendment on sugar bounties, the senate would be in session "a g-ood long time." It could not be passed without the fullest dis cussion. The dog days were here, and the weather was intensely hot. There fore, Mr. Jones proceeded decisively he thoufrtu..-;t well to give up the early daily ml. tigs of the session, resuming the 12 o'clock session, and thought it desirable that the senate now adjourn Mr. Allison responded that he thought the bill was to be passed to day. In surprised tones, Mr. Jones ans wered that such an idea was prepos terous. With this bounty question brought in, could it be possible to ex pect the passage of the bill this week or next week, or the week after next? He was absolutely astounded, he said to have this proposition broug-ht in at the last moment. He again expressed hope that 12 o'clock sessions and an adjournment for today would be agreed to. Mr. Thurston (Neb. who had been conferring with Mr. Allison took the floor. He epoke of the part he had taken in urging this beet sugar bounty, and his earnest wish that it be Incor porated in the bill. "But I recognize," he continued, "that the people of this country are demanding the immediate passage of this tariff bill. They are Impatient that the rates of duties shall be so permanently established that the cal culations of business can be made.

ITCHING HUMORS lo«RufflsSW one of the prime movers of this propo sition, I reluctantly—in the discharge of what I believe to be patriotic duty— I reluctantly yield to the threat of the other side of this chamber to prolong this debate indefinitely, and that the wheels of Industry may begin to re volve, that the smoke of the chimneys may arise, that the spindles may begin to sing, I withdraw this amendment." Mr. Thurston's announcement was made with impressive effect and was received with awe-like silence by sen ators and spectators. Mr. Allen (Neb.) the colleague of Mr. Thurston, took the floor and said he had not been present when the threats of filibustering had been made. "There were no threats of filibuster ing." interjected Mr. Pettus (Ala.) if there had been such threats, pro ceeded Mr. Allen, he thought he might take a hand for a few weeks, or a few months. He earnestly supported the bounty, and said he regarded it as cowardly to abandon it. "if my colleague withdraws it, then I will renew it," concluded Mr. Allen. Mr. Allison said that in view of what had occurred, he concurred in what the Nebraska senator, (Thurston) had said, that it was not best to in troduce any question which might pro long the debate. He asked leave there fore to withdraw the bounty amend ment. Mr. Allen again proposed the same amendment. Mr. Jones moved to table Mr. Allen's motion. This had the effect of cutting off debate, and as Mr. Allen showed evidence of displeasure, Mr. Jones withdrew his motion to table. A proviso relating to lead ores was inserted in section 28, providing that in respect to such ore the refined metal shall bje exported at or the duty paid within six months from the date of the receipt of the ore. After a contest the committee section 13 was adopted, providing that goods in hand when the act goes into ef fect shall pay no other duty than if the same were imported after the act goes into effect. The house retroactive clause (sec tion 27) was stricken out. Tins brought the senate to the end of the bill, and its first reading throughout had been actually accomplished. There was quite a controversy over an effort to read just the duty on manganese iron ore, which article the house placed upon the free list. Mr. Bacon moved to fix a duty of $1 per ton, but withdrew the motion on assurance that the entire subject would be considered in confer ence. The finance committee substitute for the house provision in regard to ccal tar was agreed to. The amend ment leaves the article on the free list. After defeating an attempt by Mr. Stewart, Nevada, to reopen the clause as to cyanide of potassium, Mr. Alli son presented the r.ew amendment pro posing to stamp taxes on bonds, de bentures, certificates of stock, etc. It was very voluminous, and Mr. Allison explained by saying that, while formid able in appearance, it was in reality simply providing a stamp tax of five cents on every $100 of debenture, etc., and two cents on every $100 of transfer of stock, etc. He modified this so as to except building association stocks and bonds and allowed the amendment to go over. Mr. Lindsay's amendment to the reciprocity clause asking the president; to inquire into the exclusion of Amer ican tobacco from France and Spain was agreed to. Mr. W Thite mooted the new paragraph placing a duty on in candescent lamps at 65 per cent ad valorem; agreed to. It being 4:30, Mr. Jones urged Mr. Allison to consent to an adjournment. Mr. Allison resi>onded that be would like to secure an agreement for a final vote to the bill, say Monday or Tuesday. "With the bounty amendment pend ing," .answered Mr. Jones derisively, "no time for a vote could be fixed." "I hope the amendment will not be held up as a bogie man," said Mr. Allen. "It will take a week to con sider this and other amendments." Mr. Allison specified Tuesday as the day for a vote. Mr. Jones shook his head and said that, while there was no purpose to delay the bill, yet the important pending amendments must be fully considered. There was a chorus of protests when Mr. Allison suggested a recess until 8 p. m., and a continuance of the debate tonight. He Withdrew the suggestion and added: "Then I give notice that I will en deavor to secure a final vote Monday or Tuesday." The bill was then laid aside, and, at 4:35 p. m., the senate went into execu tive session, and then adjourned until Monday. A MONSTER UMBRELLA.

OUTBREAK I]l I]tDIA > ATI H-AJL RESULT OF A_\ ANTI-EX G LXSH CRUSADE BY NATIVE PRESS. EMPIRE IS IN NO DANGER. THE FORCE OF TROOPS AMPLE TO KJ3EP THE NATIVES IN SUBJXH ECHOES OF DIAMOND JUBILEE. Milen the Cauno of Much Worry to (Ik- Committee on Entertain ment—London GoMßip. LONDON, July 3.—The outburst of anti-English feeling In the native press, both of Bengal and Bombay, for months past has had the outcome which miight have been expected, In the outrages at Poonah and the riot ing at Chitpore. Though there is no doubt that the immediate cause of the outbreak is the energy with which the local authorities have been stamp ing out the bubonic plague, some times necessitating interference with the social relations, customs and tra dition of the natives, the disaffection would not have become acute except for the activity and malicious accusations of unscru- pulous agitators, who incited fanatics to vengeance against individ uals and to revolt against the gov ernment. One of these newspapers, a fair sample of the others, said: "The plague authorities are simply butchers, who are torturing and harassing the people of Poonah in the. name of san itary science. If matters are not put right soon, the scenes of 1857 are likely to be rewitnessed there, as neither the Hindoos nor the Mohammedans will tolerate the persecution of their wives and children for any length of time. It is the misfortune of the people that the honor, religion and modesty of women,safe even under Mogul rule, should be violated under the enlight ened English government. We wonder why no notice is taken of the shameful doings of the soldiers in Poonah. They are, perhaps, secretly instigated by the government to do these things in retaliation for the tortures once in flicted upon Europeans by the Tantra Topi and to punish the capital of the Deccan for taking the lead in all pub lic agitations. Let us hope that the government will take heed and mend its ways, lest disastrous consequences ensue." Other newspapers of India openly advocate armed resistance to the search parties. Needless to t.ay tho charges are false. All the search parties who volunteered for tlit? dan gerous plague duty have been under the strictest control and have always been accompanied by officers of trie! ability. The death of Commissioner Rand, who was shot by concealed natives while leaving the governor's residence on jubilee evening, at the time Lieut. Ayerst; of the commissariat corps, was killed, has added to the bitterness of feeling in Poonah. There is reason to believe that the wave of Mohamme dan feeling is caused by the successful and unpunished atrocities in Armenia spreading to the Mussulmans of In dia. There is no reason to fear for the empire, as the white garrison is strong, numbering 75,000 men, but there is reason to fear a succession of local outbreaks demanding sanguinary re pression. The situation seems to call for vigorous action, and the prompt measure of the Bombay government in proclaiming Poonah disaffected and occupying the city by a police force, the cost of which amounting to a lac and a half of rupees for a year, will be levied on a certain section of the native community, meets with general approval. MORE TROUBLE. Replying- to a question in the house of commons Lord George Hamilton, the secretary of state for India, said the government was fully alive to the gravity of the case and meant to act promptly. The whole question of the inculcation off sedition through the vernacular press will be revived. In connection with this serious news from India comes the disturbing informa tion from Afghanistan to the effect that the ameer has hastily summoned all the influential Mollahs throughout the country to a meeting at Cabul, as he wishes to consult them on important matters concerning Islam. This is be lieved to be connected with the recent announcement that the sultan has sent a special envoy to Cabul with In structions to agitate for a general re vival of Islam. The Spectator takes a pessimistic view of the demand of American farm ers for a bounty on wheat grown for export. It says: "As the fairness of the claim must be conceded by every logical protectionist, and as the farm ers hold the balance of power between the goldites and the silverites, their demand will probably be granted, in which case the value of wheat in Eng land will sink like the value of sugar in England, possibly to 15 shillings a quarter. It is difficult to conceive what would then become of English agriculture. Rents could not be paid, The American advocates of the com peting metals must win the farmer's vote and they can only win by con ceding their demand, which, if protec tion Is reasonable at all, must be ab solutely just. Why should other indus tries be protectetd and the oldest and best be left out in the cold? The expense will delight the friends of President McKlnley, who wish to de plete and not to fill the treasury." A curious story is told in connection with the approaching- visit of Presi dent Faure to Russia. It is in sub stance that Emperor William of Ger many wishes to meet the president at St Petersburg, and wrote the czar to tlhat effect. But it appears Em peror William's efforts to arrange a meeting with the French president were baffled by the acuteness of the czar. Her majesty today entertained the members of the house of commons at a garden party at Windsor. Each member of parliament was allowed to bring his wife and one daughter, If his daughter had made her debut, or his sister. The invitation was Issued when her majesty read the London news papers that the members of the house of commons were indignant at the manner in which they were treated at the Buckingham palace reception, which fact had been carefully sup pressed by the palace officials, who were to blame for the blundering. The tactful act of the queen in including the wives of the members of the parliament in her invitation to Wind sor castle was received with the great est enthusiasm, the wives of the Liberals and Radicals, who dally abuse the monarchy showing, it Is claimed, the wildest eagerness to be present. It Is understood that Mr. Labouchere will make an individual report on the subject of the Transvaal raid, strongly censuring Cecil Rhodes, but admitting that the conduct of Mr. Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies, has been perfectly straightforward. The special embassy of the Hon. Whitelaw Reid ended yesterday, and did so with continued marks of grati tude from the British government for the manner In which the United States was represented. While Mr. and Mrs. Reid's official task is over, their per sonal engagements promise to ibe al--^ most as important and numerous. MILES MAKES TROUBLE. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., haa been rather an embarrassing element in the United States special mission and to the British government, as he insisted upon taking more than they intended him to do. The government had provided rooms, servants arid car riages at the Alexandria hotel for Roar Admiral J. N. Miller, U. S. N t , and Gen. Miles, but the invltatfon was not extended to their wives. Gen.' Miles arrived first with his wife, and occu pied both rooms, leaving Admiral Mil ler the room the court officials had in tended for the servants accompanying the two officers. Admiral Mjiller. there upon declined to remain at the hotel, and repaired to lodgings in Half Moon street, where his family was installed The court officials were greatly dis tressed, and wished to take.a suite of rooms at the Victoria hotel for Ad- Miller, but the latter declined. The secretary of state for the colo nies, Joseph Chamberlain, provided royalty with a new sensation on Wed nesday. Wishing to have an :• over whelming social show, Mr.. Chamber lain took the late Sir Julian Gold- Bchmidt's big house in Piccadilly, and invited 2,000 guests to a banquet and reception following it; all of whom ap parently accepted, resulting in the greatest crush London remembers. The sudden bringing of eight or nine hun dred carriages into Piccadilly quite up set the police, and made an intermin able jam in the midst of which, the Prince and Princess of Wales drove up St. James street. The prince finding that the police were unable to, immedi ately clear his royal way, ordered his coachman to drive back to Marlbor ough house, and for the first time In the life of their highnesses, their purpose to honor a commoner was barred. In side the house the crush was terrible. Mr. and Mre>. Chamberlain vainly tried to edge their way to the foot of the stairs in order to receive the and Princess of Wales. Hundreds were unable to get in at all, and the Duke and Duchess of York were oblig ed to make their exit by w^- of the kitchen ard th-p area steps. The "-sco is the talk of the town, and many bit ter remarks are circulating in society. The old Tories are delighted at what they call Mr. Chamberlain's bad breed ing, and want of taste, etc., and pre dictions are made that the Prince and Princess of Wales will never again accept their invitations. The United States and Canadian bishops are being royally entertained everywhere. Every bishop has mora invitations to hospitality than he can possibly accept, and the same is the case with the invitations to preach. The archbishop, of Canterbury received them all most cordially, and influences by the wholseale, it is reported, in the press, are being brought to bear in favor of the Archbisihop of Canter bury's great scheme to obtain the ad hesion of all the colonials .and of all Americans, if possible, to such ac knowledgement of the Archbishop of Canterbury's headship of the Church of England and its offshoots as to practically permit hjm, in a larg* measure, to control the internal af fairs of such churches. The id.ea finds but little favor with the United States bishops. MEDALS FOR COLONIALS. Presented by the Prince of Wiiles in Person. ' •• '■'•■' LONDON, July %.— The Prinoe of Wales today inspected the colonial troops at Buckingham palace, and bo stowed a medal, commemorative of the jubilee upon each man -present. The entire force passed the prince in single file. Arriving in front of the prince, and several paces away, the colonial soldiers saluted singly, and then turned towars the prince, advanced, halted in front of him. saluted, again. and received the medal. The medals' ol the officers are of silver, and thos? i given to the noncommissiqued otlicer* and privates are of bronze. At the com clusion of the ceremony, the Prince of Wales called for three' cheers for th» queen, and they- were given !n the heartiest manner possible. The Princess of Wales. Princess Christian of Schleswig-Holstein the Duchess of Connaught, Princess Vic toria of Sc-hjeswig-Holstein, all the colonial premiers, the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Cham bfrlain; the Duke of Connaught. Lori Wolseley, and Lord Roberts of Kan dahar, were among those present a^ the ceremony. During the presenta tion of the medals, the Princess of Wales held a reception beneath a B*l^a8 *I^ a i? lm tree in front of tne terrace AH the colonial premiers -and their wives and daughters, were separately introduced to the princess, who re ceived them most cordially.

HIS MAJESTY CO Ml NO IN FOR SO.ME FREE AIND FRANK CRITI CISM. SUCCESSOR FOB HOHENA.OHE. 'I'ln- (iiiniii^ ('luiiioellur Selected by ThoMe Who iiii:i;;inc They Know Itill'H lu<<-ntluuH. BERLIN, July 3.—The cabinet crisis which has been dragging for weeks has reached another stage, hardly less curi ous than the previous one. It is be lieved in political circles that Baron yon Bulow, if he shows the necessary capacity and ability to secure the sup port of a majority of the diet and the relchsitag, will be Prince Hohenlohe's successor, the post of foreign secretary in that case going to Count yon Kid erlen-Wachter, the emperor's favorite and the present German minister at Copenhagen. The Vossische Zeitungr (Advanced Liberal) compares the con ditions here with those prevailing in Turkey and Russia, saying that "in Turkey a pasha is today a finance min ister, tomorrow a general and the day after minister for foreign affairs. The same Is with us today." One of the most curious features of the present situation is that Prince Hohenlohe refused point blank to countersign the appointment of Gen. Podbielsky as the successor of the late Dr. Stephen as imperial postmaster, and left Berlin for his estate in a hur ry. On the other hand, it is reported in official and court circles that the emperor will visit Prince Hohenlohe at Schillingfuerst later in the summer. The visit of Prince Hohenlohe and Baron Bulow simultaneously to Prince Bismarck is taken as an indication of another reconciliation, and the whole of the Bismarck press is writing in a ■tone of satisfaction on recent events, claiming that the old Bismarck force of politics, especially foreign politics, and the repressive measures against socialism will be renewed. It is cer tain, however, that the whole situation has not been cleared up, and additional surprises may be expected at any hour. The letter which emperor William addressed to Dr. yon Boetticher, the retiring vice president of the coun cil of ministers and minister of the in terior, is taken to indicate that his majesty proposes to make Dr. yon Boetticher president of a Prussian province, probably Hanover. It is ru mored that Yon Wedel, the former German minister at Stockholm, will succeed Baron yon Bulow as minister at Rome. It is stated that Count Wil helm Bismarck, president of East Prussia., will be transferred to the presidency of Schlesswig-Holstein and that he will be succeeded in his pres ent office by Dr. yon Koeller. The Bundesrath has again rejected the resolution passed by the reichstag by an overwhelming majority to grant per diems to delegates, this being the fifth rejection. The naval bill being prepared by ! Admiral yon Tirpitz, the new secre | tary of the navy, provides for a loan of 150.000,000 marks, of which 90,000,000 marks is to be devoted to the con struction of battleships and 60,000,000 marks for building ironclad cruisers. ■ The bill will be presented to the reich »tag in the faH.

July 3.—There was quite a flurry of interest in the Cuban question in town last night when it became known that Secretary Alger had intimated to Capt. Taskar R. Bliss, who will shortly go to Madrid, as mil itary attache to the American legation there, that it would be Inadvisable to take Mrs. Bliss and her children with him, because of the possibility of trouble. Lieut. George L. Dyer, the naval attache, also proposes to go to Madrid unaccompanied by any member of his family. These developments are generally accepted as an indication that the administration expects more or less excitement in Madrid during the coming autumn, or as soon as Min ister Woodford shall have had oppor tunity to present the demands of this government to the Spanish court. It also developed that Consul General Lea is expected to arrive in Washington during the next two weeks. He will not return to Cuba. Gen. Lee's home coming will be in season to admit of consultation between him and Gen. Woodford. Wnr on the $1 Pine Tariff Rate. WASHINGTON. July 3.—The Minnesota and Wisconsin delegations in congress are not disposed to allow the pine tariff to rest without a restoration of the $2 rate. Their first effort will be to get a reconsideration of the vote in the senate by which the duty was cut from $2 to $1. Telegrams have been sent to absent senators who are known to favor the retention of the duty on lumber as fixed by the finance committee. Dispatches are also being sent to Interested congress men and lumbermen in the Northwest ask ing them to return to Washington and as sist in making a flght to have the duty re stored. If the senate falls to reconsider, the contest will then be waged after the bill goes to conference committee. Governor and Staff Do \\ ash in—ion. WASHINGTON, July 3.—The Minnesota veterans arrived by special train from Gettys burg at 1 o'clock this morning. Gov. Clough and staff are located at the Ebbitt house, which has come to be known as McKinley's hotel. There has been no regular programme mapped out for the days to be spent in Washington, and today the members are scattered over the city, visiting the old places made pleasant by the associations of thirty-four or thlrty-flve years ago. There Is some talk that in the absence of President MeKinley, the visitors from Minnesota may be received by Vice President Hobart. It Is not known, however, whether the veterans will care to meet Mr. Hobart, as they are engaged in outside trips to Mount Vernon, their old camping ground at Poolsvllle, Md.. and many also contemplate visiting Bull Run, where their military experience com menced thirty-flve years ago. The membera of the party are in good health and spirits. ST. PAUL, - - - JULY 12. Minneapolis, - - - July 13.

CHICAGO, July 3.—lt has developed that the conference of executive of ficers of Western roads and members of the National Merchants' and Trav elers' association, next Tuesday, has been called simply for the purpose of affording the executive officers an op portunity of explaining, in a general way, the reasons which prevent the roads from making reduced distrib uters' rates in the way they have been asked to do. When the call was first issued, the supposition was that the roads were prepared to recede from the position originally taken by them, but they now appear to occupy it as firmly as ever. A united confer ence between the general managers of the interested roads and the mayor and corporation council was not held today. It will not be before next Wednesday, and it is still doubtful if one will be held at all. Railroad of ficials now say that the traveling men are opposed to the proposed chea^ distributors' rates, because, if they proved successful, many firms would make them the excuse for dispensing with the services of their traveling men.

LUMBER RATE CUT. CHlppem Falls Helnetl Out By the AViMotynnln Central. MILWAUKEE. Wis.. July 3.—The Wiscon sin Central railway announced today that it would reduce the rates on lumber from Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls to points in Illi nois south of Chicago 2 to 2Va cents per 100 pounds, which means a reduction of from 50 cents to 75 cents per 1,000 feet, to take ef fect July 6. Several weeks ago the Wiscon sin roads reduced the lumber rates from the Wisconsin valley region to points in Illinois but by this reduction no relief was riven the Eau Claire and Chippewa Palls interests as those points were outside the territory affected. To relieve them the Wisconsin Cen tral today decided to reduce the rate from those points, which will again permit the ex tensive lumber dealers there to ship under the same conditions and at the same advan tage as the other towns from which reduc tions were made two or three weeks ago.
