On paragraph 365, blankets and flan nels; formal changes were made in ac cordance with the previous notice of Allison. In paragraph 866, women's and chil dren's dress goods, cotton warp, the rates were changed to 6tt cents per square yard on goods valued at not more than 15 cents a yard and 7% cents on those valued at above 15 cents a yard, and £0 per cent ad valorem. In paragraph 367, women's and chil dren's dress goods, wholly or in part wool, the rate was increased from 9 cents to 10ft cents per yard and 50 per cent ad valorem. Gray remarked that these heavy rates demanded an explanation, to which Allison stated that they were due first to the compensation required by the Increased duty on raw wool, and, second, to the desire to encourage Amer ican industries at the expense of the foreign makers. Gray exhibited samples of Hen riettas, serges and other women's dress gioods, pointing out that the cost on some Would be advanced from 25 to 57 cents a yard, others from 16 to 20 cents a yard, eU.:. or from $1 to $2 on every ordinary house dress. Warren ot Wyoming announced that Yankee ingenuity could produce the good's exhibited by Mr. Gray quite as well as the foreign factory and that com petition among the American manufac turers would keep down the price to the consiuner. He also spoke of the decrease In the .number ot sheep under the Wilson bill. "If tlie American people submit to these outrageous rates at the polls," re sponded Gray, "then there are more sheep in the United States than I sus pect." In paragraph 368, ready-made cloth ing, shawln, etc., the house provision, in- : eluding "felts not wove," was restored. The rate of duty was changed from 4% to 4 times the duty on unwashed wool and the ad valorem duty was changed froiin 60 to 55 percent. In paragmph 369, webbings, gorings. suspenders, fringes, etc., the specific duty was cha.nged to 50 cents per pound and the ad valorem to 55 per cent. In paragraph 370, relating to Au busson, Axmlnster, moquette and che nille carpets, the specific rate was changed from '50 to 62% cents per square yard and the add valorem left at 40 per cent. The bill was t hen laid aside, paragraph 870 having been completed. A message was received from the house of representatives announcing the death of Representative Cooke of Illi nois. Resolutions of regret were passed and a committee of five senators—Ma eon, Spooner, Carter, Pascoe and Turner —appointed as escort. As a mark of further respect the sen- Ate at 5 oelock adjourned. IN CAUCUS Committee Bates on Hides to Be Sustained WASHINGTON, June 24.—The Repub lican senators decided in caucus tonight, by a vote of 22 to 11, to sustain the ac tion of the finance committee in placing a duty upon hides, but did not passupou the question of the amount of the duty to be Imposed. The committee was also sustained in the rate fixed upon Imported wrapper tobacco. The only other disputed ques tions considered were watches and watch Jewels, and upon these the finance committee was reversed, the house rates being accepted on watches, and watch jewels being made free. The caucus was held in the marble room of the senate, and was well at tended. While the discussion was spirited at times, the meeting was without especial interest. The greater part of the time was given to the proposition to fix a duty on hides. Senator Lodge led the contest against the action of the finance committee In taking hides from the free list, and was seconded by Senators Hoar, Piatt, Spooner and others, while Sena tors Nelson, Allison, Warren and Gear tpoke in favor of the duty. Mr. Lodge contended that the duty, if . Imposed, would not be of any conse- I quence as a revenue item, and that it would add nothing to the farmer's re turn on his cattle, while it would have the effect of greatly injuring the indus try of leather manufacture, which had grovVn to immense proportions under the system of free hides. He said imports of leather goods amounted to $20,000,000 per annum, and asserted that if a stiff duty should be imposed the industry would be greatly checked. In reply the western senators claimed a direct benefit to the farmer from the duty, and asserted that he was as much entitled to the protection it would give as were the manufacturers to the as sistance they would receive from other duties. The vote was on the general proposi tion to Impose a duty without regard to rates. The fixing of these, it was understood, should be left to the finance committee, but the expressions were so general in favor of the ad valorem rather than the specific system that the com mittee will probably feel itself instruct ed to substitute this system for the 1' 2 cents a pound, the rate originally agreed upon. There was also a general ex pression against any Increase upon India tanned goat and sheep skins, which the manufacturers regard as a substantia! victory. There was only one vote raised in opposition to return to the house schedule on watches, and in addition to admit watch jewels free of duty. It is to this compound system that the senate returns. The questions of reciprocity, trusts. Hawaiian sugar, beer, tea and internal revenue were not discussed. IN THE HOUSE Adjournment Had in Honor of Con gressman Cooke WASHINGTON, June 24.—Congress man Edward Dean Cooke was found dead in his room at the Cochrane Hotel this morning, presumably Of heart dis ease. Cuoke retired about 11 o'clock last night, apparently in perfect health. At 2 this morning the night clerk of the Cochrane called at his room and found him suffering from nausea, but he soon recovered and declined to have a physi cian called. About 5 o'clock Cochrane went to Cooke's room to inquire for him and found Cooke dead. A physician who was summoned said that Cooke had ap parently been dead several hours. Cooke was a native of lowa and was 48 years old. He was educated in the public schools of Dutruque, ar.d later graduated from the Columbian Univer sity Law School, Washington, and was admitted to the bar. In 18S2 he was elected to the Illinois Legislature and served on Important committees. He was elected to- ihe Fifty-fourth Oon gress from the Sixth Illinois District and was then re-elected to the present Congress. An air of gloom pfervaded the House today, owing to the sudden-death of Mr. Cooke, who was very popular With his colleagues. The desk which he had oc cupied on the extreme right of the hall was draped in mourning and covered with white roses and magnolia blossoms. The blind chaplain in his invocation re- ( ferred feelingly to Cooke's death as a publlo calamity. The Speaker announced the reception of an Invitation from the present Bel gian Chamber of Deputies to members of the House to attend an International parliamentary conference In favor of arbitration, which commences August 6th. Congressman Foss of Illinois, on be half of the delegation, announced the death of Mr. Cooke and gave notice that at some future time he would ask the House to pay a tribute to the character and public services of Mr. Cooke. The customary resolutions were adopted and a committee to attend the funeral ap pointed. Then, as a further mark of re spect to the memory of the deceased, the ' House adjourned until Monday.

FIGEL'S HABITS Were Not Those of a Model Book keeper by Any Means SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.—When the Hoffman inquest was resumed this morning Coroner Hawkins announced that he had twenty-four more witnesses to examine, but expressed! the hope that it would not take very much more time of the weary Jurors. It was shown this morning that al though Hoffman borrowed $20 from John Laurer, a teamster, a few minutes before he met his death, only $5.45 was found in his pockets when he reached the Receiving Hospital. Expert Theodore Kytha created a sen sation by stating his conviction that the signature upon the receipt for $9,500 was genuine; but that he was equally posi tive that the amount had been raised from $500 to $9,500. Other witnesses, business men, testi fied to the effect that they had spoken to Hoffman at various times about rac ing and betting men, and that the de ceased merchant had expressed sur prise that his bookkeeper could- afford to bet as he did. E. L. Atkinson, one of Figel's agents In racing ventures, swore that Figel told him Hoffman's strange remarks before the fire of 1595. He also related a history of his connection with Figel on the turf and stated that Figel's winnings amounted to about $8000. The biggest winning the witness ever made for his principal was $3800 on The Bachelor, but upon what date he could not remember. William Taylor, another of Figel's agents, testified to having purchased Tempestuous for the bookkeeper and having placed some bets for him at dif ferent times. The winnings amounted to about $2000. Taylor swore that one night while doing some work for Figel he smelt something burning and upon investigation found that some clothing In the rear of the store was burning. After extinguishing the blaze he sent for Hoffman and showed him the place where the fire had been. Instead of being excited Hoffman asked him why he had not let it burn, adding that the insurance companies paid good prices. Bad Irrigation Bonds SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.—The su- preme court has declared that the issuance of the bonds of the Central Irrigation dis trict of Colusa county was void. The ques tion was brought to the superior court, which held the issuance valid, but the su- preme court reversed that judgment upon the grounds that in the notice given for the formation of the district, the persons Interested did not sign the printed notice of intention to petition the supervisors call ing for the vote to form the district; also that the original petition was not signed by the requisite number of owners of ag ricultural property whose property- would be benefited by the formation of an"irrlga tion tlistrict. The court plainly states that because the district was not properly formed it of necessity follows that the is suance of the bonds is illegal. Not Forgery RED BLUFF. June 24.— J. K. Johnson was, by direction of the court acquitted to day on the charge of forgery, which originated from Johnson persuading Mrs. Catherine Stewart, who cannot read, to sign a note for $350 by representing to her that the note was a receipt for $30. paid her by Johnson. Johnson wrote Mrs. Stewart's name- and she mnde her mark. The court decided that obtaining.-! signature by fraud was not forgery. Immediately upon his discharge Johnson was re-arrested for al leged grand larceny, being charged with having stolen a horse in Shasta county, whither Johnson was taken this atfe-rnoon by the sheriff. Robbers Arrested DENVER, Colo.. June 24.—A special from Cheyenne, WyO., to the Republican says: Inspector Nichols reached here today from Utah and secured warrants for the arrest of Charles Stevens and Dick Thompson, who are charge d with complicity in- "the robbery on June 15th of the postofflce and store of Joseph Cuild at Fort Bridger, at which time $123 in United States postal funds were stolen. Stevens and Thompson are under arrest at Vernal. Utah, and the warrants secured by Inspector Nichols are for the purpose of bringing the prisoners here for trial, the offense having been com mitted in the district of Wyoming. Train Robber Held ROSEBURG, Ore., June 21.—The prelim inary trial of Albert Poole, charged with holding up and robbing a Southern Pacific train at Cow creek canyon in July, 1595, was held here today. Poole was held to appear before the grand jury. His bail was fixed at $1000. The Queen's Pity LONDON. June 25.—The Daily Chronicle understands that the queen has devoted a large sum of money for the relief of the Thessalian refugees. LOS ANGELES HERALD t FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 25, 1897 COLLEGE MEN Anxiously Watching the Weather THE COLLEGIATE OARSMEN WILL STRUGGLE OVER THE COURSE TODAY ) Harvard Wina tha Slight Advantage of Position—Ball Games and Bicycle Races—Notes Associated Press Special Wire. POUQHKEEPSIE. N. V., June 24.— Tomorrow is the big 'varsity day and the town tonight is taking on a gala ap pearance. The crowds are beginning to arrive and tomorrow will see the place crowded to overflowing. The wind was from the west all the afternoon and the wiseacres In weather matters predict that it will rain either tonight or to morrow. 'The plan now is to call the race at 3:30 oelock tomorrow afternoon and have It rowed down stream over the four mile course. If the weather is bad' or the water in poor condition the race, be cause of the change of tide, will have to be rowed after 6:45 p. m. up stream, necessitating an entire change of stake and Judges' boats and the anchorage of the fleet of yachts. It is called to mind that this is the first time since 1575 that Yale has met Cornell and the first time in two years that she has crossed blades with Har vard. Coach Cook took the blue 'varsity eight tonight and gave it a final polish ing up. The rough corners on the indi vidual work of the members of the crew were knocked off this morning in a painstaking half hour of work. Yale's practice tonight was not an ex tended one and after the general work several starts were tried before the shell was put in. The men's condition is all that could be desired. It was half past 6 when the water had become smooth enough in the neighbor hood of the Cornell boat house for the crews to get out. Courtney sent them on an exercise row of a mile and a half down the river. Returning to the boat house the "shortcake" crew gave the 'varsity eight a brush, but was badly beaten. Representatives of Yale, Harvard and Cornell met with Referee Meikleheim at the Nelson house tonight to draw posi tions for the race. Yale drew course No. 1, which is nearest the west bank; Har vard No. 2 and Cornell No. 3 on the outer course. It will be seen that by this drawing the positions of Yale and Cor nell are exactly reversed from what they were in the freshmen race, and the slight advantage In the way of tide which Yale was supposed to have in that race now belongs to Harvard.

Tbe Western Union has named a rate for service to the foreign book which the race track people think too heavy. The company proposes to charge the San Clemente people the sum of $300 a day, while for a like service to- a pool room the expense is said to be about $80. ! Manager Jaynes of the Western Union says that he is Justified in charging a much higher rate, as his conypai-.y would lose the patronage of three Sausalito pool rooms, which would undoubtedly be obliged to close down- when the new track opened, on account of diverted patronage. The promoters of the San Clemente scheme now threaten to build a track ore this side of the bay and throw down the gauntlet to both the existing associations.

NEVER AGAIN Will There Be Seen Such a Parade EX-CONFEDERATE VETERANS RENEW THEIR MEMORIES 07 THE FAST Tha Reunion at Nashville Pleases tha People Who Once Sympathised With the Lost Cans* Associated Press Special Wire. NASHVILLE, Term., June 24.— Crowds everywhere, blocking sidewalks and filling' to overflowing every avail able space along the long line of march, witnessed the grand parade, the closing event of the Confederate reunion. One hundred thousand people saw the pa rade, consisting of 10,000 people on horseback, on foot and in carriages, marching to the musio of brass bands, drums and fifes, music which years ago they had heard during fierce war. Noth ing in the history of Nashville has equal ed the outpouring; never such a pro cession, and on the faces of the lookers-on and some of the bent figures stepping briskly and proudly could be seen the suggestion that never again would there be seen such a parade. From the starting point, the custom house, through the center of the aity, around the public square, out Broad street to Vanderbllt university, where the parade broke ranks, a dense mass of enthusiastic, cheering people greeted the old soldiers, their generals and the beautiful women who took part. General W. H. Jackson of Nashville, chief marshal, headed the parade, his staff consisting of distinguished men. Commander-in-Chief John' B. Gordon and staff came next with the Savannah hussars as escort; General Vaughn, the new major-general of the Tennessee di vision, each division preceded by spon sors, maids of honor and invited guests, beautifully attired in summer costumes. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Vir ginia, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, Indian Territory, New York, Illinois, North- Carolina, Texas, Okla homa, West Virginia, District of Colum bia, all had veterans in line. The Sons of Confederate Veterans marched and were commanded by Rob ert J. Smythe of Charleston, newly elected. The Daughters of the Confed eracy were present In large numbers, and rode in carriages. Gen. W. B. Bate, General Joseph Wheeler, General S. B. Buckner were In carriages at the head of the Tennessee division. General A. P. Stewart, General M. B. Butler, Mrs. S. B. Buckner and Mrs. W ,B. Bate pre ceded them In- carriages. Judge Rea gan and Genenal Johm Ford rod© with the Texas division. Mrs. A. P. Stewart, Robert E. Dee and John, Hood- aroused continuous cheers. General Stephen D. Dee was easily recognised. With their respective divisions, the command ing officers from each state rode by, and' as they were recognized shouts went up, and as little bands marched along bear ing tattered flags inscribed with the names of bloody battlefields a mighty roar ascended. From the time the South Carolina troops, bearing palmetto branches, began to move to the music of "Dixie" all down> the line- until the Ten nessee troops passed the stand -where General Gordon for an hour and a half saluted the passing hosts, the air was rent with cheer®, with roars, with drum beats, bugle blasts and music by bands. And though at noon two rainstorms drenched spectators and- veterans, tem porarily disorganizing the parade, through it all veterans, sponsors', maids of honor, general an 9 privates- stood to their posts, and when the storm had passed resumed the line of march. Af ter passing the reviewing stand the pa rade was dismissed. Though the rainstorms had bedrag gled the flags and banners, drenched the paraders and made limp the costumes of the ladles, enthusiasm was r.ot dampen ed, and in a short time the streets were again, thronged, and of the countless thousands the major portion thronged to the auditorium to listen to speeches and witness the closing exercises of the afternoon and evening. From the dis missal of the participants in the parade until late this evening the tide of travel was toward the exposition, where the final exercises of the United Confed erate Veterans were held. Each state was represented In the Jubilee by dele gates, their friends and a speaker se lected for thejoccasion. Capt. J. B. O'Brien presided. Among the speakers were men from every state, and so great was the enthusiasm and so insistent the vast audience which packed the huge, .auditorium that it was after six oelock before the last 6peech was made ,and tihe note of melody floated out. Tonight the same vast throng wit nessed fireworks prepared for the occa sion, and listened to the rendering of an other "Southern Program'" by Innes' band. While old Confederate flags, regi mental fl a gsi, tattered and torn, appeared in the decoration* and in the parade, very prominent at every turn was the star span.gled banner, and In the pa rade the national standard was se.en in every division. It was the unanimous verdict of the veterans and their visit ing friends that the reunion is the most successful ever held. FRENCH ANARCHISTS Had Nothing to Do With the Bazar Pire CHICAGO, June 24.—The Post today says: According to a story which has reached Chicago from Paris, via Wash ington, the terrible holocaust which wiped out over 100 lives at the French capital May 4th, was the work of an archists thirsting for revenge on the upper classes of France. It is claimed that while the official inquiry Into the circumstances surrounding the catas trophe threw llttlte light on the cause of the fire, the secret service department Is working on a clue that points to an anarchist conspiracy of stupendous magnitude. A member of the French legation at Washington is said) to be authority for the story. WASHINGTON, June 24.—The offi cials of the French embassy here refuse to Impart information concerning any connection that the anarchists may have had with the holocaust. Mr. Le Falvre, the first secretary of the em bassy, said tonight that there had been no communication received from his gov ernment looking to the apprehension of the alleged leaders of the outrage, who, it Is said, have fled to America. This, he thinks, would have been the case had it been believed such persons were en gaged In the affair and had fled to this country. Mr. Le Falvre was tn Paris at the time of the disaster and remained there for several days. Immediately afterward* there were Intimations In some of the newspapers attributing the catastrophe to anarchistic sources, but publications of that character soon ceased. Newspapers that have since come to hand conveyed the impression that the opinion that anarchists had been at the bottom of the affair was in consistent with the real facts in the case, which, according to investigations, showed that the fire was due to accident. Banking Law SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.—1n the United States circuit court today Judge Morrow rendered a decision in the case of Samuel Montague & Co. vs. the Pa cific bank, ordering judgment for the plaintiffs' as prayed for. Montague & Co.. London bankers, cabled the Pacific bank on June 20, 1893, to pay by telegram $5000 to the Puget Sound National bank of Seattle, and the same day remitted that amount to the credit of the Pacific hank to the National Bank of Commerce, New York. Two days later the Pacific bank failed, and the amount has never been remitted. The court holds that as this money was a special deposit and the Pacific bank merely acted as agent, the money does not belong to the cred itors of the defunct bank and must be paid.
