The duty on re- ed camphor was put at 6 cents a pound, 4 cents in the House bill, ground alk at 1 cent and chloroform at 15 cents nstead of 21 cents.

Paragraph 38, making the duty on olive oil 35 centsa gallon instead of 50 cents, as in the House bill, went over without action atthe re- quest of Senator Perkins. In paiagraph 41, making the duty on opium for smok- ing §8 a pound instead of $6, as in the House bill, Aldrich withdrew the amend- ment, so the duty xed at §6. Jones of Arkansas moved to reduce the rate on morphine and all salts of opium jrom $1 an ounce to 50 cents. He read a communication to show the enormous profits made now by chemists in the sale of morphine, and demanded ayes and noes on the motion. His amendment was de- feated, 24 10 39. Paragraph 43 (Prussisn and Cbinese biues, eic.), was passed over at the request of Sewell. (chrome yellow, etc.), was changed by making the duty of 4)¢ cents a pound apply where lead 2nd soda are used “in pu p, dry or ground,” and by omitting the last clause of the paragraph. Vest moved to reduce the rate on white Jead (paragraph 53) from 23 cents a pound to 134 cents, poseit by the committee was abnormal and it was unnecessary to increase it, and demanded the ayes and noes. The motion was lost, ayes 27, noes 35.

That is the mathematical answer to the Senator's statement.” Peragraph 58 (phosphorus) went over | without action. Aldrich moved to make«\ the duty on caustic or hydrate of potash | cents a pound, instead of 2 ce: and instead of 3 cents, as in the House bill. Vest protesied acainst the proposed increase. Platt of Connecticut favored it, saying the United Alkali Company of | England, witb a capital of $30,000,000, had | vut down the price of chlorates in the | United States so as to crush out co- cperating on Niagara. “Then the formula is,” said Caffery, “that when we have a market we must | hold it by high taxes, and when we have inor a market we must get it by high | taxes.” an American to think the Niagara Falls required protection seainst anything that could be produced in England. [Laughter.] The discussion led to a colloquy between Caffery and Gear on the subject of sugar bounty. Caffery spoke of bounty as a demoralizing gilt, the bad consequences of which weie now seen in the proposition to pay an export bounty on cereals, cotton and tobacco. | “Iimagine,” Gear said, ‘‘that the Sena- | tor himself was a beneficiary of the sugar bounty.” “There is a proverb,” Caffery replied, “which says, ‘Never look a gift horse in | the mouth.” 'rbe sugar bounty was forced { upon us. We did not want it.

Another cut his throat in the chief drink- | ing saloon. Two others, who had wou | considerable money, were waylaid on their | way home, shotdead and robbed, Another | similar tragedy occurred near the reser- | voir at La Colorado mill, and snotner rob- bery end murder was committed near the :;g"lal’;lsdem‘:uara bedlow the lmill.

Mrs. | Levy’s daughter, Flora, who was in the | room at the time, proceeded to give the | robber a piece of her mind, but he laughed at the tongue-lashing of the indignant girl, and proceeded to help. himself to the | contents of the till and to a bottle of whisky. “Good night, ladies,’’ said the robber when he bad secured the money and the | bottte. “I hope it will be a loag time before we see you again,’’ said young Miss Levy. The robber evidently walked down the roaa toward Stockton and drank some of the whisky to prime himselt for further depredations. His next victim was Charies Turner, | provrietor of the Park House, on the out- skirts of S:ockton, near the race track. It was snortly before 10 o’clock when the {man with the red handkerchief actoss his face entered. Turner was sitting in the Tesort chatting with two companions when the man appeared, with a club in one hand and a revolver in the other. Turner was compelled to turn over the | contents of the casn drawer, but the lone | robber did not search the men, all of whom had money in their possession. Wien the highwaymap had gone Tur- ner s-cared his shiotgun and gave chase. j He spied tue robber and’ fired several shots at him, the robber returning the fire and escaping across the vacant lots toward town.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 27.—Gov- ernor Budd has received a telegram from Professor Morse, 8 member of the State Board of Health and president of the San Francisco Health Board, dated ‘Washington, D. C., which will be of great interest to all cattiemen in the State, and more especially in Northern Californis. It will be remembered that some time ago the Agricuitural Department ac- cepted a report to the effect that splenic fever, or Texas fever, existed among cat- tle in this State, and accordingly there was issued a quarantine order, forbiading the grazing of California cattle in Nevada or elsewhere over the border, and also forbidding the shipment of California cattle. ¥ Governor Budd, being appealed to by the cattlemen, appointed Morse to go to Washington and do what he could to re- move the :fimnnun— and the telegra shows that Morse has been successiul in freeing from Tmrun_une all that portion of Northern Cali‘ornia above an imaginary line extending, approximately, westward from Lake Tahoe. Morse also states that another inspector will shortly visit California, and the Governor entertains the hope that the quarantine will be lifted from the re- mainder of the State at an early date. He will shortly issue a proclamation in ac- cordance with the decision of the Agri- cultural Department. MILL VALLEY VANDALISH. T0 CATTLEMEN.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, May 27.—About 9 o’clock last night some unknown person withdrew the blocks from under the wheels of a passenger coach of the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic road, which was standing 1n the woodyard near the station, and released the brakes, al lowing the car to move down the grade. As the track at this point is on a curve the car did not obtain much headway Nevertheless it passed the ticket oftice ana ran across Blythedale avenue, which, for- tunately at that hour, was almost de- serfed, and crashed into the big mountain- climbing engine which. stood on the track to the south ot the avenue. Here the car became stalled, occupying half the road- T)he railroad people are at a loss to know who turned the car loose. The strict orders of the road are to not only set the brakes, Lut to block the wheels also when acaris left standing on a grade. These rules were complied with, and the person who released the car evidently did so with the knowledge that it would cause damage and annoyas HE ATE THr EVIDENCE, A Consiable’s Appeiite Causes a Case to Be Diemievea.

Garrity of Sausalito and Deputy Constable Eugene Creamer went to Point Pedro, near San Quentia, and arrested the illegal fishermen and brought them here. | Besides the men and the net, the small | fish found in the boat were also taken as evidence, snd upon this evidence the officers expected to secure a conviction. To-day the trial was to take place before | Justice Bellrude. Eugene Creamer was puton the stana evidence. the dninty little wigglers and eaten them. Thus the only evidence upon whaich the Chinamen could be convicted had gone down the_gullet of the deputy constable. Justice Belirnde was the picture of dis- may.
