Several amendment to the bill were offered
ay Mr. Mills of Texas, but all of them wore de
feated. Tbe first was to put printed books on
tbe tree list. The second, to put Bibles, In
whatever language printed, on the froa
list. The third, to Impose on Internal revenue
tax of 6 per cent, on articles of American
manufacture, aud the fourth to remit 1:0 per
eec- of the duties imposed by the bill on mer
chandise the produot of countries opening- thol r
taints to the free coinage of sllvor. The propo
sition for a commission of throe general apprais
ers to supply tariff Information was discussed
or nearly the whole day, and eventually was
Withdrawn.
The Senate met a) usual at 11 o'clock, in
spite of the national holiday, and Immediately
resumed consideration of tie Tariff bill. Mr.
Hills moved to strlko " printed books " out of
the dutiable list ("5 per cent, ad valorem")
In order to hao them put on the freo
list. He said he did not care to dis
cuss the motion, but he vrnntod the yeas and
nar npon it. The rote was taken and tho mo
tion was lost yens, lRtmays, 28. Sonntora Jonos

Masters Stewart and Teller voted nye. On mo
tion of Mr. Jones of Arkansas, aud with tbe as
sent of Mr. Allison, "waters, for sacramental

The stamp certificate amendment offered by
Mr. Allison last Saturday was taken up, and ft
j somewhat modified Oy Mr. Allison, the only
portant change being to make schedule A ap
slr to bonds, debentures, or certificates of la
dsDtednesa issued after Sent. J9 next.
After a long discussion the stamp section was
agreed to Mr. Piatt of Connecticut stating, on
behalf of the Finance) Committee, that It would
M examined critically hereafter, and any neces
sary changes would bo made.
Mr. Spooner's amendment for the designation
at three general appraisers to investigate tho
Industrie of this country and of other coun
tries, in connection wlih tariff duties, was then
ukin nn.
In reply to a question by Mr. Teller, Mr. Alli
son declared bis belief thnt the pending bill
Would yield about 8180.000.000 In the fiscal
year from July, 1807, to July, 1898, and thnt
afterwsrd It would yield a much larger sum.
The second year would yield from S50.000.000
to 860.000.000 more than the present liw.
Mr. Teller referred to Chairman DlnIey's
" rose-colored representation " that tho bill as
H passed the House would realize a surplus of
128,000.000. He did nut auppos thnt anybody
believed that a surplus of a hundred millions
revenue was among the possibilities of tho bill.
On the contrary. It was admitted on all hands,
that the bill would produce not a surplus, but a
, deficit.
The Bpooner amendment was discussed at
ouch length, Mr. White treating It as
an avowal that the pending bill was de
fective and unreliable, and -Mr. Spooner'
defending It as a simple business propo
'sltlon Intended to keep the Treasury De
partment and Congress informed as to the oper
ation and effect of the law. Mr. Morgan op
posed the amendment, characterizing It as a
broad confession of tho Incompetency of Con
After the discussion had gone on for three
hours, Mr. Allison said that in view of the dif
ference of opinion to which tbe amendment had
given rise, be was authorized by the Finance
Committee, with the consent of the Senator
from Wisconsin, to withdraw It.
Mr. Mantle of Montana offered an amendment
reducing the tax on distilled spirits to 70 cents
a ration (as betas the revenue produilng point).
Mr. Allison said that the Finance Committee
bad considered that proposition and had decided
that It waa Inopportune to put It in the bllL He
hoped the amendment would be voted down. It

Mr. Lindsay offered an amen lment putting

Mr. Morgan offered an amendment authoriz
ing the President, when satisfied that It is
for public good, to suspend the operation
Of law and remit tbe discriminating duty
tf 10 per cent, on merchandise imported In
vessels of foreign nations, and also to remit
tonnage dues. He stated that be knew of no
nation but Mexico to which tbe provision would
apply, and tbe object of the amendment waa to
remove a difficulty in that respect. Tbe amend
ment waa agreed to.
Mr. Mills offered an amendment providing for
a reduction of SO per cent, of the duties provided
In tbe bill. In favor of countries that open their
Bints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver

Bsnator Carter voted yea, with the Democrats,
and Senators Caffery and Gray nay, with the
Republicans.
Mr. Allison asked whether an understanding
could not be reached for the completion of tbe
bill to-morrow. Mr. Jones of Arkansas an
swered by an inquiry as to the status of the beet
rarar bounty amendment. Mr. Allison sal 1 be
did not know Its status; It had been offered
by the Senator from Nebraaka (Mr. Allen).
Then it Is Impossible for us, ' said Mr. Jones,
tamak any different arrangement as to the.
anal vote."
"Then I give notice," said Mr. Allison, "that I
will ask tbe Senate to sit to-morrow until the
tall can be at least reported to the Senate."
Technically the consideration of Ibe bill so
far has been in committee of tbe whole. It's
Ming reported to the Senate will be another
step In advance. After an executive session the
Senate, at a quarter before 0, adjourned.

WAsniworow, July 0. Tho question has arlson
beforo tho special board designated to Investi
gate tho recent bids for tho construction of throo
torpedo boats, whether the nary Is not proceed
ing to build boats of lighter displacement
than It should In view of the genoral ten
doncy abroad to tncroass tho size of nil
vessels of this typo In the raco for higher speed
qualities. Under tho bids the Government calls
for tho construction of two boats of not lcaz
than S30 tons and one of 200 tons displacement,
whoroaa tho latest Information from Qroat
Britain confirms the provlous impression hold
by th experts here, that nono of her
gront fleet of torpedo bouts now building Is so
small a those proposed now for the United
States. Tho board considering the subject
consists of Constructor Ulchborn, Englnoor
In-Chief Melville, and Capt. O'Nell of
ordnance. Th Engineer holds out for
tho larger boats, compatible with the
appropriations, and tho Constructor bolloves In
smullar boitts on the theory that tbey offer less
tnrgot and oan bo handled with greater celerity.
The Ordnance Chief wants an much ordnanco as
they can reasonably carry, and agrees therefore
with the engineer oilloo In respect to the dimen
sions of tbe new craft.
Uront Britain's torpedo-boat programmo, ac
cording to tbo latest report rooelvod by the de
partment, contemplates an expenditure of
fi21.O0O.00O, aud provides for the build
ing of ninety vessels of this class alone.
All are under construction at thirteen
different shipyards, and tho majority
of thorn will be delivered to the Govern
ment this year. They vary In length from
180 fret for the smallest to Had feet for
the longest, and from 10s feet beam to
C39 foet, with dlsplncoments from 250 tons
10 430 tans, and speeds from 2U knot to S3
mots. Thus tho smallest of the torpedo boats
now building at Knjjllsh yards Is but a few
tons loss in ulsnlaccmont uian tha lanreat nu-
ihorizod under Inst yearnval bill, while the
argest Is overone hundred tons heavier than the
Porter class. Nearly all these boat are to have
the same armament, consisting of ono one-half-pounder
and live slx-pounder quick-firing guns,
with the exception of six, which carry one ono
hnlf-pounder and three slx-noundsrs.
The type of boat that most impresses the
board Is that submitted by Harlan it Hollings
worth of Wilmington, which Is similar to
some of tho best Thornycraft class, but
another typo presented by the Bath com
pany Is thought almost equally as grind.
Ton board la now endoatorlng to solnct
tho best type of craft rather than to determine
which are tho Ion est bidders, and probably will
recommend that tbo larger class be adopted. In
view of tbe tendenov abrond to construct torpe
do crnft of greater displacement In order tosc
curo tbo highest rnto of spoed. In this case tho
Baltimore firm, which seemingly Is the lowcit
bidder on tho two small boats, will not get tho
contract, and more probably the boat will be
divided among throe firms.

Republican Senators to nave a Final Cameos
en It Thts BveulMg.
WaiiWQTON, July 5. Tho boet sugar bounty
question Is still full of embarrassment to Re
publicans, and anothor "final" caucus has been
called for to-morrow morning, to arrtvo at a
conclusion If possible- Ever since Bcnator Alli
son, In tho faoe of tha announcement by
Senators on the Democratla side that the proposi
tion to give a bounty to the beet sugar producers
meant a delay of at least a month In the final dis
position of the bill, withdrew the amendment.
Its friends havo been greatly dissatisfied. To-day
their feelings on the subject were expressed In
effort to induce tbe Finance Committee to
agree to reintroduce It, and such was
the lmoresslon made by their pleas that
several Senators stated mat the amend
ment would be so introduced. Members of the
Finance Committee, however, said, in answer
to Inquiries, that they would not otTer It again
unless Instructed by tho caucus to do so. To
settle tha matter tbe caucus has been ailed.
Contradictory statements regarding tbo ao
tion of the caucus last Thursday nlsht aro mode
by friends and opponents of the proposed
bounty. Tbe latter assert that the Flnanco
Committee was Justified in deferring to the
demands for the withdrawal of the amendment
on Saturday In view of the fact that when the
suucua acted upon the proposition, there was
not a full attendani-e, some of the members hav
ing gone home. On the other hand. It 1 as
serted by the friends of the bounty that that
matter was acted upon beforo the bond and
e'ock stamp act war propostxL and that If th
-Finance-Committee felt bound try tbe caucus in
struction regarding that subject, It certainly
ought to by that regarding the sugar bounty.
Several Senators, Including Messrs Frje. Bur
rows, and McMillan, all of whom are reported
to be opponents of the proposed bounty, had left
the caucus before it was suggested, but that
their departure affects the result I doubt
ful. If toe assertion be true, made by its
friends, that the bounty was agreed to with
only three dissenting votes. Members of
the Finance Committee objected to assum
ing responsibility for reviving the amend
ment for the reason that In their opin
ion such a move would Inevitably
result in delaying a vote on tha passage of tbe
bill In tha Senate- until tha 1st of August
at the earliest. Friend of the bounty
were anxious to havo the Finance Com
mittee bock of tbe amendment, because
while most of the Senators individually
are believed to be In favor of it adoption, tbey
recognize that It would. In ail probability, re
ceive some vote if presented a th suggestion
of the majority, which it would not receive if
the individual proposition of Mr. Allen, the
Populist Senator from Nebraska, who ha given
notice of an intention to present it to the Senate.
Tbe amendment as agreed to In caucus direct
tbe psymeut of one quarter of a cent a pound on
all boet sugar produced In this country from
1898 to 1003.

Havana, via Koy Wost, July 6. "To oon
quor tho revolution In East Cuba (Jen. Weyler
will' require 200,000 sotdlor uioro aud It will
cost $200,000,000. If Spain con afford all this,
then wo may tuako the campaign rcgardloss of
the yellow fever aud tho heat. If not wo will
have to wait until noxt winter."
These are the words of Gen. Arolas, the
former military commander of tha Jucaro
Moron trochn, and now on Oen. Weyler's staff.
Thoy were uttered In conversation with some
other Spanish Generals, and havo oxcltod con
siderable comment hcio.
Tho S0.000 mon that Canovas offers to Wey
ler aro little better than no men at all under
tho present clrcumstancos. From tho Jucaro
Moron trooha to the east end of Cuba 16,000
Spanish soldiers aro dying In tho hospitals of
yellow fovcr. The heat Is terribly Intonso. This
Is considered to be tha hottest summer Oubi
has had In twenty yoars. Moreover, the Cubans
In the Orlont aro vory woll provided with ammu
nition and or prepared to stand against s
larger force than Oon. Weyter Is bringing
against thorn.
Tho result of this situation Is that another
year of war In the Island Is absolutely certain if
Spain can ralso tho money for tbo maintenance
of her army during that porlod.
In Havana tho bpanlards have differing opin
ions as to what Spain should do. Tho Diario
de lu Marina publhthod on Saturday a sons
Uonal editorial directed against tbo Govern
tuont, which ha arousod tho Indignation of tho
aucompromlslng lojnliels. The IHarta says
tat It would bo Impossible to describe tho per

tonomist party, composed ut Cubans loyal to

Junta In the eyos of tho public but calumny has
overwhelmed these leaders. The Government
Is beginning to learn a bit tor loaeon. That les
son is that It Is necessaiy for tbo pacification of
Cuba to uso as instruments against tho tnsur-
Bents tboso loyal Cubans who are willing to

politician surrounded by so many astonishing
statesmen, why, when tho salvation of Spain de
pended upon tbo help the Autonomists could
give to our cause against the revolutionists, ho
preferred to employ other means and took an
othor road. The fruits of Canovas's policy can
only bo malediction, sorrow, aud hate.
Tho result of this policy is now so plainly be
fore Spain that the ministerial precs In thnt
country Is confessing the great mistake Canc
vai has made, Tho Government Itaelf Is lis
tening at las! to Uie ndvico of tboso who discern
most cloarly the trend of Cuban affairs. Hut
tbe reformation of tbo old policy must bo fair and
honest. '1 hero inuhl bo activ o measure", und not
bipocrisy or words mora or leu lirllllnnu tho
situation in Cuba is too grave to nduiit dolar.
Tho Uovcrnment must threw overboard all tho
ballast that bos throntoned to sink us forever,
and cease its efforts to end the war merely bv
promising reforms. It is a great mistake to
try to arrange the affairs of Cuba without con
sulting thote men horon bo are by their history
the legitlmato representatives of Cuban opinion.
"If tho now policy tho Government Is likely
soon to adopt is not such as wo demand, Spain
and Cuba will both be completely exhausted
before much longer."
Thts article is considered by the uncompro
mising; Spaniards as a shameful confession
that Spain cannot conquer tbo revolution by
force of arms. La Union Voiutitueionnl re
plies to the above article that the Cubans In
arms are very different from the few Autono
mist In the country, In that they will never
submit to the Ideas of tho Autonomist.
Tho failure of Gen. Weyler In Orient has ex
asperated the Spaniards and every purtlsan of
Spain here seems to be losing confidence in the
triumph of her anus.

So long as passengers continue to climb Into
the open c&blo cars whon every seat tsocouplod
there seems to bo no reason to expoct relict from
the Board of Health or any other body. Tho
chagrin of a group left standing on Uio sldo
walk whon a crowded car does nut bolt long
enough for the wnuld-bo passengers to squeezo
their way botw eon thu ouaU shows plainly that
tbo averago pasacngor would rather stand up
than be loft to watt. The conviction that mat
ters are not likely to be much Improved by wait
ing may be rosponslblo for this seeming lmpa
tlenoo. It Is unlucky that tho only present
moans of keeping passengers off tbo cars ouuld
not be omplojcd In such a wny as to apply es
pecially to Uiuse cars already crowded, although
the Informality of tho method would always
keep It irom success as a Unnl scheme of relief.
Iho habit of starting tbo cans beforo pusoiigri
have timo to got aboard Is omo that evidontly
originated nim iho conductors, und they ore
cousvquonlly likely to lndulgu tiiomseltos lu it
after a purely personal fashion. It Is general
amonar thcui, but controlled so far as anybody
cau ece by no defined oystcm. Uu uj pel Lexing
ton avenuo and on Columbus uvvuue it Is tho
rulo rather than Iho exception, anil tbo car
which cotnos to a dead stop ou either of thteo
two streot mutt bo In tbo control of a queer
conductor or an unusually amiable gripuiaii.
But as a proventivo of ovorcrowdlng the plan is
a failure. It is highly oHoctivo in kcuplug old
ladles aud children out of the cars, but tbe
average man has usually tho etrciiglh nnd cour
ago to mako tho flying leap uocc-ari lo land
him on the step and give him a more or less
unnteudy grasp of the brass rati. The rctt of
Uie operation hi comparatively Bltuple from
that point. It is only rcgrettublo that no good a
Slan fur keeping people off tho cars as this ono
uviscd by the conductors should bo lucltcclual
when it comes to orcrcrowdlnir thorn with row
of fctundiug passengers.
The popularity of negro rongs during the rast
two winters ha practically ruined the demand
for popular efforts of any other kind, and the
sentimental ballad, whether it Involves tbo
overworked "mother" Interest or Is concerned
wis l some less filial motive. Is Just at present a
drug ou the market. It Is evidently the negro
song that tho publlo desires now, and there Is
seemingly no indication thnt this demand has
boen satisfied. The popularity of tUo-o negro
ballad was established anew two years ago
by.a couple of very succo&sful efforts of tho kind,
and the supply that followed has been kept up
to a rcuiar.ablo degree of exiouoncc. Ono wo
man who makos a oifocialty of thevo io!igs said
last summer, after baring exhausted tho popu
larity of several, thai she was afraid others so
good would novor be found. But they wcra
forthLOUitug ut tbe opeulng of the heoon, und
provoil as successful as tbelr prudciosiors.
All the song writers with any tule.it In this
direction havo beon turning their ntioution lo
nc,ro tongs, and ouo reason why their grude of
comparatively bl.-b cxiulletiua has been pro
served Is to bo found pouslbly in tho tuct thut
many old-time negro melodies have been
worked over lo mud tho picieia IjiMo. V iry
few of tho songs lhat have reached the dignity
of publication are the wurk of nc-ro composers,
although negro performers clnitu the uuthor
ship ot some of tno aougs they ing. Neverthe
less, one of tho most popular songs ot tho yeur
was written by a negro iwrformcr, who has al
ready received upward of if.VHK) In royalties
from tho work. It rarely happens that a first
song, bowovcr popular it may become, yleids
very much to tho composer. The uuwuown
genius Is likely to reap lit reword ou his becund
cUort, evcu if tho quality bo of a kind less like
ly to gain success. One curious feature of Uio
situation at present is the glut of marches In the
market. Tbeso havo been popular as two
steps tor soveral seasons, and Uie result Is now
thai tha supply ot these pieces is so far ahead of
tho demauu that It is next to Impossible to gut

Tho situation of a club's homo avowedly
plnys an Important part In the success of Its
career; but ono organization which its promo
ters thought had every advantage of locality,
has recently come to griof through an entirely
unforeseen accident. ThU society, which was
rather small and not given to any undue use of
the bar facilities, got tho reputation of being a
club in which recklessly excessive drinking wu
the rule. A a matter of fact its members wore
a sober a those of Uio ordinary social club,
and it was some timo before thoy found out In
what way this reputation had attached itself to
tho organization. It resulted, thoy discovered,
from what bad been regarded as one of tho nd
vnntage of tho club lhu members had ranted
their House from a restaurant kuepor, who Imd
his establishment in tbe street below iuiiuodl
ately in the roar of tho club. Ho had rescred
for himself only thu basement, and that whs
used to carry in his provisions. His custom
was largo and tho daily consumption of liquors
considerable. For eeterul hours every morning
there was a succession of doll vory wagons
marked with names ot various liquor dealers in
front ot the club, and passers did not know thut
all this liquor wan Intended, not for tho uso of
the club members, but for Uio consumption of
the guests of the reitniirant. The daily supply
that tbo procession delivered at tho clubuoiuo
seemed so entirely out of proportion to tbe alio
of tbo club that persons could only conclude
that every man got away with a largo amount.
In thts way tho club m quired Us reputation ns
in oiganl7utlon of eicopliunnlly houvy drinkers.
It en in o to an end utter a brief axlstoiieo nnd ihe
wholly aceldciitul elri-uiiistuueo that Uio ros
taunint drinks were delivered at Uio club door
Is believed to have had a fatal effect on tho
club's prospects.

Herri ftslisrWlU slded Wheal H Tried to
ttiv nianteir as Russian Ifalb,
It was blistering hot In Orchard street yester
day, and Morris Faakawltz. who had been try
ing to keep cool by looklnu out of tho window i
of the tenement at 83 Orchard street, was sud
denly struck with u bright Idoa.
"I will go take a bath," ho said, gotting up
suddenly nnd addressing his wlfo. Faskawttz's
lD-year-old son Is employed In a Russian bath
in the hosemont at 01 Pitt strcot, so thn oldor
Fashawlli could get a bath free nnd havo n
rubbing and shampoo thrown In besides by his
son. Young Faskawlts wns busy with a pay
customor whon his father got to tho bath at
12:80 o'clock, nnd Iho son asked him to wall.
But tho elder Faskawlt was impatient to
get oool. "Never mind," be said In Hebrew, "1
will take tho bath myself." Ho dlsrobod and
went Into n vacant bath.
Russian baths are very primitive affairs on
tho oast side. Vapor baths arc generally uinilo
by turning cold water on thn hot slabs nnd
brick flooring of tbo bathrooms, Tno Htonm
comes up In clouds and envelops tbo bather.
Tho elder Fasknwllz hod seen Ibe oporation
several times, lie sat down on r slab and
worked until his pores optiied In th,t hoi nlrntul
ho began to lorsplre. Then ho stood up, ready
to tako tho vapor bath. Ho n ached over and
turnod the ttopcock of on" of tbo pipes full on.
A oloud of steain filled tbe room lu n twinkling.
Thon a stream of water struck tho bather In tbo
back. Uo gnvo a shrlok and dashed out Into
tho main room. Ills yell startled evorybody In
the piano, and attendants came running to ecs
what hod happoned.
Faskawltz was danrlng up and down on the
floor, scroamlng In pair. Ho wns hardly able
to spook for fright, and was too bewildered to
tell what had hapnonod.
His -win dualiMl 1 tit is Uio vaunted bath and aw
at u glunco what thu truublu wus. Tbo lluoi
wus afloat with scadllng water that conic from
the hot water pipe that his father had turned
on by mistake. Tho old man's neck mu'
back and blps were nearly crimson from tho
scalding. He suffered grant pain. Tho pro-
fTletor rnn out and g"t a poll iitinti vho In
urn called an .ambulance. When it ar
rived Ihe turmoil bocatuo greater than over.
Young Kaskawltz Insisted that hu wanted
his father removed to his homo. Tim surgeon
did the elder Ktskawltz's scalds up In oil and
cotton batting and took him to Uourerncur
Hospital. It will he a week or more beforo hr
will bo able lo be out again.
"My fattier did not understand how to take
a both," young Faskuwltz explained later.
"He is too old tomanagn such thlntM. It was
therefore his own misfortuuo nnd nobody Is tu
blame. ITo will not toko a bath on tho 1 ourth
ot July again."

AH tbo IdcntlOer May Confront Her at One
To-liny.
Mrs. Augusta Nock, who Is accused of being
Implicated In the killing of William Glcldsen
suppe, will come up In tho Jefferson Market Po
lice Court for her examination this morning,
but bofor this takes placo it is expected that an
effort will bo made to bavo her Indicted by Uio
Grand Jury. Tbey do uot propose. If they can
holp it, to reveal all tho evidence they have at a
pollco court examination. Assistant District
Attorney Rosalsky was In conference with
Acting Inspector O'Brlon and his detectives
last evonlug.
Tbe detectives got no trace ot Martin Thorn
yesterday, and at tho Control Oilloo they knew
nothing about a new arrest uu suspicion reported
from Quebec They learned, bowovcr, that
Thorn tried to borrow a slungshot from a man
In the saloon at 350 East Thirty-fourth streot
a fow days before the homlcido.
The detectives revisited tho houso 310 Second
street, Woodslde, and mado another examina
tion. They found a bottle labelled Zlufaudel,
which was half full of a liquid which hud a
slight ulcohollo smell about It, and which the
detectives suspect Is a knock-out mixture.
Mrs. Clara Nuubolmcr, who liios a dozon
yards away from tho houso, thinks now that
sho heard cries from tho houso early on
Saturday morning, June 20. The reason sbo kept
quiet was because sbe did not want to be sum
moned to Police Headquarters for examination,
sbe says. She states that between I! and 3
o'clock on Saturday morning sbe was awakened
by cries of murder and help, and a short while
afterward looked out of tho window and baw a
man and a short, stout woman running along
tbo trolley cor tracks. Mrs. Nunhelmer says
ber son Willie found In the house u cognac
glass with some sticky stuff in the bottom ot it.
The police are unahlo to connect the bundle
ot blood-stained clothing found tnear Ravens
wood on Saturday with the murder. All of the
person who live near the house at Woodslde
and say they have seen Thorn and Mrs. Nack,
or persons resenihllng their description, will be
taken to tho JelTen-on Market Police Court to
day to see If they can Identify Mrs. Sack.
Ooronor Tuthlll went over to Woodslde, U I.
yesterday, and also to CHfTslde, N. J., to look
around, tie made no discoveries.
