EFFECT OF THE BACKDOWN ON SUGAR There May Be No Increase of In- ternal Taxes. REVENUE _— THE QUESTION It is claimed in some quarters that indi- cations at this time point to the possibility of the Senate abandoning its position: upon the tariff bill and accepting the bill prac- tically as it came from the House. If this shoukl be the case it will mean an early agreement between the two houses and the possibility of the new tariff becoming a law within thirty days. The proceedings of the Senate for several days past, have shown an increasing tendency to accept the House figures. The first important break was in the case of the earthenware schedule, which has been heretofore mentioned. The backdown of the Senate upon the sugar schedule was of urse ‘ke mest prominent instance’ of yielding to the opposition to the Senate bill. There have been numerous instances in the p: ten days where the Senate has gone back to the House figures upon smaller items in the various schedules. Current gossip at the Capitol forecasts the possibility of further yielding upon the part of the Senate. No Incrense of Internal Revenae. The opinion seems to be growing among those opposed to the Senate bill, especially among the members of the House of Repre- sentatives, that the Senate will give up its plan of increasing the internal revenue taxes. The prediction has been made by even a republican senator that the pro- posed increase of the internal revenue tax upon beer will have to be dropped, owing to the storm of opposition to it that hag developed since the finance committee re- ported the bill. The tobacco dealers are ex- erting their utmost to defeat the increase upon tobacco. Increased beer and tobacco taxes were counted upon by the Senate, to- upon tea, to Produce enough revenue to offset the loss cecasioned by the cuts in other schedules. There is said to be @ grave possibility that the tea duty will be abandoned. It is pointed out by those on the House side who are expecting to see the House’ bill adopted, that if the Senate is forced by public opinion to retreat from its posi- ticn upon internal revenue taxes and the tea duty the Senate will then be compelled to restore the House rates throughout the bill where they have beer cut, otherw the bill will fail to produce the necessary revenue, and as a matter of fact would be very little better from a republican stand- point than the Wilson bill. In every item of each schedule in the bill the commit tee on ways and means acted, in getting up the measure, with a view to raising rev- enue as well as to protecting American in- dustries. If the Senate bill does not give promise to do that the House will never accept it. The Question of Revenue. The position of Mr. Reed, Mr. Dingley and the republican managers in the House has been all along that the first consid- eration in a tariff measure was that it should raise sufficient revenue, for in this was bound up the financial question, and all matters relating to the prosperity of the country. When the Senate cut the rates In so many cases to a par with the Wilson bill rates, and in a number of in- stances below the Wilson figures, the first thing that occurred to the House’ tariff makers was the inadequacy of the new rates to ralse revenue. When the sug- gestion was made that the deficiency would be made up by internal revenue taxes the House was still left the excuse that the Senate rates were below the standard of protection. It is said that the first thing the sena- ters will be called upon to do when the bill gets into conference will be to show that their measure will bring in revenue. If the concessions they will have made render it unlikely it will then be in order for the House conferees to insist upon re- turning to the original bill, which was prepared in a scientific manner. ‘There dues not seem to be much dispos!- tion upon the part of members of the House to go into ecstasics over the ate’s concessions upoz the sugar sche At the same time tnere is no apnarent tendency to resist the compromise as pro: pored by the republican caucus. It is realized, it is said, that the sugar sched- ule as prepared by the Senate fina: committee was not expected to go through in the first place. The sugar trust wan to grab more than was allotted them vy the House bill, and the top-notch res set by the Senate committee permitted of an apparent yielding upon the part of the ate to a point which was still more favorable to the sugar trust than the House rates. The Cotton Schedule. It is understood ¢ made, as a result of day in putting a duwy upon cotton, to in- crease the duties upon manufactures of cotton. It was pointed out by Senaior Jones to those democrats who were advo- cating a duty on -otton that there was likelihood of a compensating increese upon the manufactured gocds being demanded as a result. The Senate cotten schedule is almost identical with the House sch ule, this being one of the few cases where the Senate did not cut below the House rates. Both, however, are below the McKinley rates in most cases. It is understood to be the intention of the friends of the cotton manufacturers to urge both the House and Senate to restore the McKinley rates. ‘This will not be any set back to the demo- crats who voted for a duty on cotton, how- ever. It happens that cotton manufactur- ing is one of the staple industries of the States represented by those senators, and if the republicans chcose to increase the protection to cotton goods they are not likely to feel badly abcut it. ——___.e._ THE GRADUATES, an effort may be the action yester- Young Men Who Have Finished at Business High School.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 9.—Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald received informa- tion yesterday to the effect that fifty Japanese who arrived at Watsonville last Sunday had been given employment in the | beet fields. The promptness with which the | men were engaged has given rise to the} suspicion that they came to the United States under contract to work for Watson- | ville farmers. Walter B. Stradley, the im- migration commissioner, says that a ma- jority of the Japanese immigrants go di-| rect to the beet fields. While no Japanese or Chinese are employed in the factory at Watsonville, the fields are full of Mon- golians. Referring to the statements of the labor commissioner, A. B. Spreckels says: “Some | Japanese are worki beet growers, but 95 per cent of the labor of beet raising at Watsonville is done by American laborers. “Of course the factory does not produce the beets, but contracts simply to pay $4 a ton for the beets delivered. The labor is chiefly performed by the farmers, who em- ploy men and boys to cultivate the fields.” > 2 TORRENS LAW. Constitutionality of the New Measure to Be Decided in Court. CHICAGO, June 9.—A test case has been instituted at once to determine the con- stitutionality of the Torrens law, adopted by the voters of Cook county at the elec- tfon on Monday. County Recorder Simon and the Torrens committee of the real es- tate board, friends of the statute, will act in harmony to secure as early a decision in the case as possible. It is hoped the case will be decided by January 1, 1898. No special office will be opened until the law is held valid. The recorder will qualify at once as registrar. Proceedings will be brought either against the recorder or the county board. In case the law Js pronounced good the recorder will employ sixteen experts to work under him as registrar. TO TEST >——_ AN INTERNATIONAL HANDICAP. Pacifie Coast Jockey Club Trying to Arrange One for Next Spring. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 9.—The Pa- citic Coast Jockey Club directors are try- ing to arrange an international handicap to be decided at Ingleside next spring. In all likelihood a $20,000 or $30,000 purse will be offered if the directors can bring to- gether the best of American, Australian, Irish and English thoroughbreds. President Henry J. Crocker, in speaking of the matter, said that efforts were being made to arrange such a race. “We have sent communications to Aus- tralian racing men and our plans are now known to them,’” he said. “Probably we shall send an agent to Melbourne to per- sonally irterview the owners of the great handicap horses. We shall proceed the same way with England and Ireland. In this ccuntry I do not think we will have any trouble in securing the entries of the cream of the handicap division. It will be a great race if we can bring it about.” ee ee PLATE PLAY ALMOR START If Union Iron Works Get Contract for Wisconsin's Armor. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. June 9.—Should the gcvernment accept the proposition of the Union iron works to provide diagonal armor for the battle ship Wisconsin, now in course of construction, it is thought an armor plate plant will be established ir this city. Abbott Brown of Edinburgh, Scotland, kncwn all over the world as an expert in such matters,and himself a large manufac- turer of armor plate, recently visited and inspected the Union iron works, and. it is asserted that he reported favorably on the project to establish an armor plate fac- tory here. There is cause to believe that he not only made estimates of the cost of such works, but prepared working plans for ther construction. ea NANCY E. CLEM DEAD. She Was Tried for the Murder of the Young Family. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 9.—Mrs. Nancy E. Clem is dead. She was the cen- tral figure in Ind‘ana’s most famous crim!- nal case; was tried five times for murder, gentenced to hang twice and finally escaped on a technicality. Mrs. Clem was finally convicted of perjury and served four years in the state female reformatory. Mrs. Clem was arrested and tried for the mur- der of Jacob Young and his wife in 186 who were found dead north of Indianapolis. The murders were supposed to have re- sulted from large money transactions. For the Young murders W. J. Abrams was sentenced to life imprisonment, and was pardoned after a confinement ‘of several years. “Syke” Hartman, a brother of Mrs. Clem, was also arrested for com- plicity in the crime and committed suicide in jail. Another suspected brother was never captured. Before her death Mrs. Clem said she was not guilty of the Young murders. She was sixty-five years old. oe If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

PLAN TO HE! P. J. Sorg’s Candidacy for the Senate Thought to Be # Ruse. Spectal Dispatch to The Byening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June:9+It is be- lieved here that the reported ‘candidacy of Congressman Paul Sorg for the Senate against John R. McLean, to succeed Sena- tor Hanna, is simply a plan of McLean to strengthen himself. It is argued that Mc- Lean and his friends know they cannot command an undivided following in the party if McLean comes out squarely as a candidate, and so the game is to put a large number of candidates in the field, and if the legislature is democratic, then Mr. McLean will appear as a full-fledged can- didate. It {s said that Sorg and McLean are not on the very best terms, and that it is McLean's friends who, pretending enmity, are urging Sorg into the ficld. Hence, Cleveland democrats are not willing to ac- cept the announcement of Sorg's candidacy as sincere. Mr. Robert Townsend Hough, who re- cently resigned his position vs solicitor of internal revenue at Washington, is in the cit: Mr. Hough is a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, and is making a tour of the state in the igterest of his candidacy. He is very popular in southern Ohio, and will doubtless make a strong showing in the convention. It is the general opinion among Ohio politicians that Mr. Hough is the candidate who will re- ceive the indorsement of Johu R. McLean. Seger: PISCOPAL COUNCIL. BP McLEAN.

CALLERS ATTHE WHITEHOUSE oes Ss The special train conveying President McKinley and his party left Washington for Nashville at noon today over the Ches- apeake and Ohio railroad. The private car of President M. E. Ingalls, in which Mr. McKinley and his immediate party trav- eled, was fragrant with gigantic pots of roses und other flowers. There were also flowers in the car occupied by the cabinet and the invited guests. The train was in charge of W. H. Gregor, general agent of the passenger department of the road. There was no change in the personnel of the party as published yesterday. They will stop tonight at the Virginia Hot Springs, resuming their journey tomorrow. The party consists of President and Mrs. McKinley, Secretary and Mrs. Porter, Dr. and Mrs. Bates and Mrs. Saxton, Secre- tary Sherman and daughter, Mrs. McCal- lum, Secretary and Mrs. Alger and Mizs Frances Alger, Postmaster General and Mrs. Gary and the Misses Gary, Secretary Wilson and Miss Wilson, Commissioner of Pensions Evans, General Grosvenor, Mr. Joseph P. Smith and Mrs. Smith and about twenty-five newspaper men. There was a large gathering at the railway station to See the party off, but there was no special demonstration. a Before the President Left. The fact that the President was arrang- ing for his trip to Nashville did not pre- vent a large number of callers at the White House this morning. But few, however, benefited by their trip. Special Commis- sioner Calhoun arrived at the White House at 0 o'clock, and was with the Presi- dent until about 10 o'clock. Shortly after that hour, Attorney General McKenna called upon the President and was in con- sultation with him until after 11 o'clock over several pardon cases and matters in the legal department. .Mr. McKenna was very anxious to go to Nashville, but was unable to do so owing to a pressure of business in his department. One of the most interesting incidents ot the day was a call by Senator ‘Tillman, Senator McLaurin, Representative Lati- mer and Representative Stokes of South Carolina. Although silver democrats of the deepest-dyed hue, they are on friendly terms with the President, and visited him to request the retention of General Wade Hampton, a gold democrat, as railroad commissioner. The President told them that he thought very highly of General Hampton, but said that he expected to make a change in the office some time in the futur He did not expect, however, to immediately nominate a successor to General Hampton. As has been stated in The Star, General Longstreet is the man who has been picked for the position. Supported by an Opponent. To South Carolinians and to politicians generally who are familiar with the rela- tions that existed for vears between Gen. Hampton and the faction represented by the callers today the visit is of deep in- terest. In 1890, when Senator Tillman was clected governor of South Carolina, after one of the most bitter campaigns ever known in the south, an intensely hostile feeling between Governor Tillman and Gen. Hampton, then senator, was aroused, resulting in the defeat of Senator Hamp ton for re-election, and the election, by Tillman’s efforts, of Senator J. M. L. Irby. The hostility between Gen. Hampton and Governor Tillman was further increased by the bitter attacks which Governor Tillman and his faction made upon ex-President Cleveland at the Chicago convention of 1892, General Hampton being a warm sup- porter of President Cleveland. There ha ver been a reconciliation of any kind be tween Tillman and General Hampton, and the visit to the President today was a xrateful act upon the part of the South Carolinian. Senator Tillman and President McKinley are on wonderfully good terms for men of such wide divergence of views. Senator McLaurin is highly regarded by the Presi- dent. —_—__—_-e-_____ ‘THE SHIPMAN CLAIM. Delegation of Attorneys Present the Matter to Comminxstoners. The claim of Contractor John J.

Edwards, sup- plementing the bill introduced by Senator Gorman to pay Contractor Shipman the amount alleged to be due him. The claim is an old one, dating from the days of the old board of public works. The abolition of the old board of audit estopped the Com- sioners from paying any ciaims, and resort was had to Congress. <A bill, award- ing the full amount of the claim’ passed the Senate in 180, but failed in the House. milar bill was introduced in March last, and the arguments today were upon the merits of this bill, with the object of obtaining a favorable report from the Commissioners, so MISSIONARY SOCIETIES MEET. Interesting Sessions Held Today at Fifteenth Street M. E. Church. Tae quarterly meeting of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Societies was held today in the new M. E. Church on 15th street northwest. Being the last district meeting before separating for the summer, a large number were present. The exercises were very interesting. Mrs. Beiler having gone to Alaska in the inter- ests of the mission work there, Mrs. S. M. Hartsock presided over the foreign society. The new pastor of the church, Rev. Mur- ray, made all feel at home by his cordial words of welcome, which were respunded to by Mrs. Roach. A solo was sung by Miss Stuart, exhibiting grcat compass and power of voice. The treasurer's report showed good work done during the year. Mrs. La Fetra pre- sented the canse of the famine sufferers in Indiz, showing a sample of the garmerts needed there among those who had no clothing whatever, saying that the Metro- politan Society had made 100 of the gur- ments, to be forwarded right away. The “lunch our’ is a very pleasant feature of the meetings, where the mem- bers of the many societies can become bet- ter acquainted with each other. The min- isterial brethren, as well as the laymen, very much enjoy this part of the program, as ail did today. The Home Society was presided over hy the president, Mrs. T. L. Tulloch. Two beautiful solos were rendered by Miss Wells, one of the deaconesses, with auto- harp accompaniment. Miss Minor, another deaconess, gave an interesting account of her experience in the slums of Washing- ton. Much good is being done by the societies, but much more might be done if a larger number of the women of the church would interest themselves in the good work. = x = Made Over New.
