MUCH PROGRESS
ON TARIFF BILL
Twenty Per Cent Off
for Reciprocity
Nations.
Turpie Talked an Hour for a
Levy on the Estates of
Decedents.
Amendment to Contlnua In Force.
Features of the Wilson Bill
as to Trusts.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 30 .—With
the exception of the delivery of an hoar's
speech by Tnrpie acaiust the general pro
visions of the tariff bill and in favor of an
amendment of his own to levy 2 per cent
on the estates of decedents, there was
very little discussion in the Senate to-day,
and the work of clearing off iaid-over
paragraphs was carried on industriously.
The result is that all but contested ques
tions have been disposed of. Even the
provision in the House bill, though it
should not be construed as affecting reci
procity treaty with Hawaii, was concurred
In, the Finance Committee's recom
mendation to strike out having been with
drawn.
I". Notice was Riven by Allison of a section
roviding for reciprocity treaties under
which a reduction of 20 per cent of duties
may be taken off in favor of countries
entering into sucn arrangements.
Tne bill was taken up at paragraph 712,
making the duty on bleaching powder or
chloride of lime ohe-fittb. of a cent per
j ound. V T est moved to put the "Tide on
the Iree list, where it now is.* „ .tDoui
disposing of. Vest's motion the amend
ment of which Turp-.e gave notice some
weeks levying 2 per cent ou the value
of every, decedent's estate exceeding
$50,000, was taken up, and Turpie ad
dressed the Senate in support of it. He
deprecated the representation that the
Government was in a. condition of insol
vency or bankruptcy. Such language, he
said, was very extravagant, wholly un
warran.ed and full of mischief. Instead
of being insolvent the treasury balance
yesterday, including $100,000,000 gold re
serve, was $225,566,000.
He argued that the wants of Govern
ment are not adequately provided for in
the tariff bills and complained that the
Senator in charge (Allisou) had not yet
made a statement as to the probable
product of the bill. At the close of Tur
pie's speech nis amendment went over.
The paragraph putting a fifth of a cent
per pound on bleaching powder was agreed
to, McEnemy (D.) voted aye. Quay movea
to reconsider the vote by whicn magnesia
was made dutiable at $1 per ton. The
inoton' went over.
Paragraph 86, relating to plaster, rock or
gypsum, was tatcen up as amended yester
dl>y, and Butler moved to strike it out, so
as to place gypsum on the free list. Lost.
Paragraph 88, the one under discussion
last Saturday when Petngrew si.ffejred a
paralytic stroko, was tak p^ rijj <';.
njoiion of Piatt of Connecticut, T^fMi vsui^
the consent of Pettigrew, this clau-a was
auded: "Fuller's earth unwrough; and
unrn.inufactured. $2 per ton; wrought or
manufactured, J4. ;I
The duty ou crude asphalt was made
per ton instead of $150, as in the
House bill; on asphalt, dried orotherwise,
it was advanced $2 50 per ton instead of
%i. These amendments were agree I to.
Tne following clause was then ad Jed to
parpgraph 125: "fcteel bands of scrip, un
temperetl, suitable for making band saws,
3 cents per pound and 20 cents ad valorem;
ii tempered, 6 cents per pound and 20 per
cent." The paragraph was laid aside
without n'nal action.
The duty on beans was made 40 cents
per bushel, and on seeds of all kinds not
specially provided for 2o per cent, instead
of 40, ad valorem.
The Hawaiian sugar question nextcame
up. Allison withdrew tt»e committee
amendment to strike out the House pro-
Y'so that nothing iv the act should be
constmed as abrogating or affecting the
provisions of the reciprocity treaty. There
being no objection, the presiding officer
announced the paraerntpn. in question
complete.
Paragraph 394, relating to surface-coated
papers, wa» agreed to with some slight
modifications. Other paragraphs on the
paper schedule were also slightly mod
iiied.
The paragraph relating to coal (405) was '
modified by Braking the auty on coal hav
ing less than 92 \er cent of carbon (bitu
minous coal) 67 cents per ton of twenty- j
eight bushels; on <oal, slack or culm, ls
cents; nn coke, 20 t er cent ad valorem,
and striking out the proviso as to recipro
city in the matter of oal and coke. As
thus modified the Coal paragraph was
agreed to. A mo-ion by White to add a
provision for a drawback of duty paid on
coal used by American tteainships went
over. •
Paragraph 415 was changed so as to
make the duty on feathers 25 per cent ad
valorem.
In paragraph 425 the duty on diamonds
was lixed at 10 instead of 15 per cent.
In paragraph 443 t heduty oc paintings
and stationery was lixed at 30 p-jr ceut in
stead of 2j per cent.
Paragraph 444, which had been recom- I
mended stricken oat, was retained. It j
makes the duty on peat moss $1 a t-jn.
Paragraph 445 was ciiancred so ai to
iuakf» the duty on pencils 45 cents a irross
and 25 per cent ad va.orem ; on slate pen
cils covered with woo>i, 35 per cent aj
valorem ; on all other slate penci'e, '■> cents
T>er hundred.
Chandler proposed an amendment con
tinuing in force the provisions of the Wii- |
son bill as to trusts, and making the anti- i
trust law of 1890 apply to combination oi
railroads to lix and maintain rates of
transportation. It also mskes the giving
of a railroad pass, save under the excep
tions specified by the interstate commerce
law, a misdemeanor punishable by fine
and imprisonment.
The biil wa* then laid aside, and" the
Senate at 5:35 o'clock, after a short execu
tive session, adjourned.

cret agreement has been reached between
the Democratic Senators : and the Re

'"Notwithstanding all that has been said
in a hopeful way regarding the probable
dale of the final vote, Allison said; as: late
as yesterday that he would be . sali«lied if
the bill should be passed next Wednesday.'
Last evening several Democratic and lie
publican Senators who have been most
conspicuous in the tariff debate were en

a:or said tnis morrune that, while he could
not say that this iniormal agreement
would hold" the compact was nevertheless
made in earnest, despite the fact that the
question or the amount ot revenue the bill
will produce is causing fear of oelay, and
despite that until the estimates, which are
being prepared by Chief Ford of the
Imreau of statistics, are placed before the
Finance Committee, the committee will
hold back its provisions for the duty on
tea and an increase of the internal revenue
tax on beer. Tne anti-trust amendment is
expected to give rise to considerable dis
cussion, principally because objections to
its provisions do not go far enough.

SAN JOSE, Cai., June 30.— One of the
largest audiences ever seen at a bicycle
race rueet in this city was that which
packed the grand stands at the eleciric
light meet given to-night by the Garden

the professional handicap, cutting down
his own world's record for two-thirds of a
mile from 1:20, tuade here May 30, to

joy. J. E. Wing, the clever San Jose ama
teur, accounted for the amateur talent,
winning the one-mild icratch race with
ease.
C. D. Gooch (20 yurds) woo the two- thirds of i
a mile handicap amateur race, Percy Mott
(scratch) second and J. E. Wing (scratch)

Baker third. Time, 2 :17.
The match race or' one mile, tandem paced,
between Hardy Downing and Allan Jones,
was won by Downing in two straight heats.
Both heats were won by yards. Time for first
heat, 2:08; second heat, 2:03.
Oito Zlegler Jr. won the two-thirds-of-a-mile
handicap, C. L. Davis second and A. M. Boy

for the. J-.vrnt.
MONTEREY, Cal., June 30.— The State
shooung tournament which occurs at this

capitalists has enabled the executive com
mittee to arrange everything upon the
best scala.
Some of the clubs that are to compete

Francisco; the Lincolns of Oakland and
tne Garden Citys ot San Jose. Several
from Southern California ami some from
