The cost of the rosebuds alone for this decoration was §10,000. It is no exaggeration to describe the audience as the most distinguished in point of rank and power thatever assem- bled under a public roof. There were princes, princesses and embassadors Dy | the score. Mere dukes, duchesses and ordinary peers were almost common. Beven boxes made into ane contained the Prince of Wales and his guests. All the great personages who Look part in yester- day’s procession were there. The Amer- ican Embassador and one or two alher‘ Americans occupied boxes. Among those in the general audience were the Duke and Duchess of Marlbor- | ovgh, Grand Duke Michael of Russia, Mrs, Bradley Martin, Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Ogzden Goelet. The orchestra played “God Save the Queen’’ sonorously, Melba, Eames and Macintyre sang the first verse of the an- them. Three contraltos sang the second verse, and the entire company the re- sinder. Acis from “Tannhauser,”” *Ro- meo and Juliet” and the “The “Hugue- guenoti” followed and were brilliantly rendered. —g e AN ANERICAN TRIBUIE, Eloquent Invocation of the Acting Chap- lain of the Senate.

INTERESTS THE COAST. Many Candidates tor Drug Inspecor. Who Shall Succeed Welburn 2 —Postal and Pension Nctes. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.—Sen- ator Perkins will to-morrow file some affi davits at the Treasury Department tand- ing to substantiate certain charges against the Inspector of Drags at 8an Francisco. It they are found to be true the inspector | will be summarily removed. It has not yet been dccided who bis successor will | be. There are five or six candidates in San Francisco, among them Druggist Joy, who is a brother of Congressman Jov of Missouri. It is believed that a Sacra- wento man will be appointed. It has been understoed in Washington for several months that Colonel Lynch bad the inside track for Collector of In- ternal Revenue to succeed Welburn, but it seems that Mr. Lynch_has not received the indorsement of & majority of the State Central Committee of California. There- :olic his nomination to the office is doubt- ul. It is now conceded that John T. Dare will be appointed Appraiser of Mercha: dise at San Francisco, tc succeed James E. Tucker next September. Colonel J. F. Evans of Ozkland may be made Assistant Appraiser. Commander Dyer has besn ordered to command the Philadelphia at Honoluln.

PROGRESS OF THE - WooL SCHEDULE ’Final Disposition of the | Raw Material | Items. The Cloth ana Knit Fabric Paragraph Next in Order. Teller Accuses the Republicans of Delaying the Passage of the Bill. WASBHINGTON, D. C., June 23.—When | the tariff bill was taken up in tbe Senate | Quay moved to lay on the table the | amendments of the Finance Committee to paragraph 557 (wool), the effect being | to restore the House rater, and the mo- tion was lost—19 to 41. Teller made a vigorous speech, in which he asserted that he wanted the| tariff bill passed. He chargea the Repub- | licans with heving no desire to push the | taniff bill. 1f they wanted to tirey might Teller, replying to some remarks of Hoar, to the e¢ffect that Bryan would have vetoed a tariff bill for aduty on wool, although some of his supporters | were now urging a higher rate, stated that | if Hoar or any other Senator was going | to bring the jast campaign into the Sen- | ate the bill would be delayed indefinitely, | as the sllver men would not allow such assertions to go unchallenged. Mr. Allen of Nebraska then arose to a | question of personal privilege in connec- | tion with the conduct of the last campaign. l’ There was much interest in the statement, | | as Mr. Allen was chairman of the Popu- | list National Convention. Mr. Allen resa | & published press dispatch from Lewiston, Me., saying that Professor L. C. Bateman, candidate of the People's party of Maine | for Governor last year, was out in an at- | tack on Wm. J. Bryan to the effect that Mr. Bryan's gift of $1,500 to tbe Populist | National Committee was with the dis-| tinct understanding that no action agsinst | | fusion should be taken by the Populist National Convention. | Mr, Allen made a sweeping denial. He | aid Mr. Bryan had determined to divide | the royalties oa his books and in doins so allotted $1500 to the Populist party. The | draft was sent to Mr. Allen, but the Chair- man of the Populist National Committee | (Senator Butler of North Carolina) deciined | 1o accept it. Thereupon, at the sugges- | | tion of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Allen invested the | amount to be used in the interest of bi- | metallism. Mr. Allea declared that the statement 1thn any agreement existed as to fusion | { in connection with the gift was “an abso- | lute and unqualified falsehood.”” There | | bas never been, he declared, an attempt 1o fuse the parties, either nationally or | | locally. Mr. Allen also specificaily denied the statement that Mr. Bryan forged his (Allen’s) name to the list appended to the | letter of notitication. The Senator closed with & high tribute to Mr. Bryan and an | | arraignment of Professor Bateman. | _ Mr. Butler briefly stated that the offer | was made to him, but he felt impelled to | deciine it. He knew Mr. Bryan's motive, | but felt that the acceptance might be open to misconstruction., The offer had been made, be said, without any condition, ex- press of implied. | | * The consideration of the wool schedule | was then resumed. Paragraph 357, re- | lating to third-class wools, was taken up. | There was considerable opposition to the | proposed rates, the debate being 1argely on technical lines relative to grades of | wool. Vest contrasted the statements and ar- | guments of representatives of the woolen | manufacturers and tnose of the wool- | growers. “Bat,” said he, ‘let either party prevail and what is the result?—an | increa-e of the price of ®oolen goods to | the people. For myseli I say, ‘A plague on both your houses!" I believe in frec | wool and any move to put woel on the | | free list.” { Mantle criticized the statement in be- | half of the wool manufacturers that not | more than 1 per cent of the wool grown in | the United States is carpet wool. At leuu; have passed it thirty days ago, he said. 12 { woods at Rivermont T one-eighth of every fleece of a common sheep, he said, is ciassed as coarse carpet ‘wool, Mills said it was always incompreben- | sible to nim why the wool-growers should so persistently’ demand a tariff on wool while the recoras of two generations showed that the prices of wool were con- stantly falling under high tariffs and went | up when wool was on the free list. Carter said that during the last two years, under free wool, the wool-growers of Montana had been receiving only 6 cents a pound for wool, whereas under the much-berated McKinley law they had re- ceived from 14 to 20 cents. ‘“The differ- | ence between 6 and 14, said Carter, “is the difference between destruction and prosperity.” Gray commented upon the fact that the two great controlling powers in the wool industry had been unable to reconcile their differences, and that they- were as much at outs now as at the beginnine. He argued that it was better to leave the whole subject 10 the commercial activity of the community and pot put tha “inter- fering hand of the Government into busi- ness.”’ In some remarks on the subject of Bry- an’e candidacy Stewart said: “It is very well known that Bryan is going to be the next President.”” Quay moved to /ay on the table the Finance Committee’s amendment to para- graph 7. The motion was defeated. Ayes 19, noes 41. Quay and Penrose (R.) voted with the Democrats in_ the affirmative. Heitfield, McEnerney, Raw- lins, Roach, Tillm Turner and White (D.), Allen and Butler (Pop.), and Man- tle, Stewart and Teller (8il.) voted with the Republicans. The committee’s amendment to pars- graph 357 were agreed to, as were also its amendments to paragraph 358. They make the duty on wool of the third el valued at over 10 cents a pound, 7 cents a pound, instead of 50 per cent. A substituto was agreed to for paragraph 359, reading, “The duty on wools on the skin shall be 1 cent less per pound than is imposed on oiher wools of the same cl: | and condition.” Paragraph 360 was changed so as to read “top waste, slubbing waste, roving waste, ring waste and garnetted waste, 30 cents a pound,” and an additional paragraph was inserted reading: “Shoddy. 25 centsa pound;. noils, yarn waste, thread waste, | and all other wastes not spevially pro- vided for, 20 cents a pound.” Vest moved ro strike out all raw-wool paragraphs. He said that in & certain year after wool had been put on the free list the price of wool had not only re. mained steady, but had increased; that year was one of unexampled prosperity to American woolen factories, which ine creased in number from forty-five to sixty-one, and to-day, he added, Ohio doubled woo! brought 21 and 22 cents a pound, whi'e it was on!y 18 and 19 cents when the Wilson bill was passed. Warren challenged Vest's statoment and figures, asserting that under a hich tariff scoured wool haa been 60 cents and over, while it had been 40 cents and below when wool was on the free List. Vest’s motion was defeated. Mantle moved to amend paragraph by meking skirted wools pay 3 cenu pound additional. Negatived. Mantle then offered a substitute for all raw-wool paraeraphs of the bill, one pre- pared by the National Wool-growers' As- sociation. Substitute rejected. Committee amenaments to all gravhs down to 363 were agreed to. Jones of Arkansas moved to amend a para- ‘Elrlgrzph 363, putting a_duty on yarns, y providing that rates shall not be opera- tive until twelve months after the passage of the act. He said these yarns wouid be made for the next year onto! wool on which no duty had been paid, and that a compensatory duty would be unfair. The amendment was defeated and the com- mittee’s substitute for the paragraph agreed to. This disposed of all the raw-wool pa; graphs, and brought the bill down to varagraph 374, relating to cloths and knit fabrics, when the bill was laid aside and the Senate adjourned. AERONAUI'S AWFUL DEATR. His Body Picked Up in an Unrecoz- nizable Condition. LYNCHBURG, Va., June 23.—Walter Steele, a traveling balloonist, met a tragic death to-day in the presence of an im- mense crowd. The balloon had been placeain a small circular opening in the Park. When the roves were cut the balloon started rapidly upward, but justas the main body ol the balloon reached the tops of the trees it was struck by a strong gust of wind and carried with terrible force against the branches of a tree which stood on the brink of a deep ravine. The balloonist was hurled with tremendous force against alimb of the tree and hisneck was broken by the contact. The body fell, and when approached by fhe spectators was found unrecoznizable. The aunt and sister of the dead man are said to have met death in a similar manner. THE TRAINING SHIP to-day that the Sea Lark was delayed navy.

Because Burglars Robbed the Corpses of the Vestments for the Grave. BOSTON, Mass., June 23.—Three fash- ionable funerals in Lynn were postponed to-day because burglars had stolen the burial robes. 1t was one of the most singular and ghoulish robberies ever committed in that city. There was consternation among the society folk this morning when the losses were discoversd, and an at- tempt was made to borrow or buy ready made vestments for the dead, but they were not satisfactory, so the funerals had to be postponed until to-morrow when new garments will have been completed. The fashionable dressmaking establish- ment of Miss Ellen Dugan at 89 Fayette street, Lynn, was entered by burglars last night, and strange to say, the prin- cipal thefts consisted of three burial robes which had just been completed for funerals which were to take place to-day. The work on the elaborate garments was only compieted at a late hour last night. The help had been kept working until midnight.

Immediately afier his release from Sing Bing in 1880 or 1881 Stokes came to San | Francisce. He was a familiar figure at | the roces and was regarded as quitea | hero among sporting men of tbe higher grade. In this City he became acquainted with Joha Mackay and other wealthy mining men, and soon engaged in mining deals | on his own account. Stokes brought to this City several thor- | oughbreds, which he was frequently seen behind in Golden Gate Park. On one of | his drives he was handling the reins over | a very sleek Jittle mare. It happened that John W. Mackay was taking a spin in the park that day and met Stokes. Mackay took a ~great fancy to the mare that Stokes was driving and on the next day sent a friend to see if he couid not purchase the little bea: Stokes refused to part with his pet. the information was conveyed to Macl who was much disaproinied. The next | day Mackay sent his friend to Stokes with an offer of $20,000 for the mare. This offer | was also declined. Ten days or so later a | messenger called on Mackay at the Palace | Hotel, sayine that he had a message from Mr. Btokes.

He | accepted the gift and thus the long and warm friendship between the two was es- tablished. Mackey certainly put Stokes in the way ©? acquiring vast sums of money in busi- ness enterprises.

Improbable That the Treaty Will Be Passed Upon This Session. The State Department Practlcally Completes Its Reply to the Objectlons. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.—The Hawaiian annexation treaty formed the | principal topic of consideration by the | Senate Committee on Foreign Relations | at its brief session to-day. The treaty and accompanying papers were read and referred to a sub-committee consisting of | Senators Foraker, Davis and Morgan, witk instructions to investigate the entire | question and report to the full committee. The papers read included the protest made by Japan against tie annexation. | The document did not cail out much com- | ment, but ail that was said was of acbar- | acter to indicate that the members of the committee did not regard it as likely to| lead to serious complications, though re- auiring the most respectful consideration. | The sub-committee will consider all the complications likely to grow outof an- nexation, including those referring to tae | wrade relations of the island. This will | with other countries. The inquiry will| require considerable time, and no effort ¢ will be made by tbe full committee to | take the subject up until the sub-commit- | tee shall be able to report on all the de- tails. The realizaion of this fact has led | the members of the committee to conclude thatitisimprobable that the committee as a whele will be able to pass upon the | subject during the present session. The | complexion of the committee is believed to be eight for ratification and three | againstit. There is a possibility that the | number of those 1n favor of it may be in- creased 10 nine. The protest from Japan in connection with the Hawaiian treaty which was re- | | ed by the BSenate Committee on | Foreign Affairs to-day is considered in | | 8 more serious light than was at first | mude apparent. The committee took exceptional precautions to prevent the publication of its proceedings. ‘The vro- | test was accepled as almost an ultima- ‘um on Jspan's part to the effect that | | the treaty must not be perfected. Itis | not a protest against the form of the | document, as had been supposed in some | | auarters, but against the document itself, | or rather against the transaction, as being } opposed 1o Japan's interest. The specific | | reason alieged for the protestis that the consummation of the agreement between | Hawaii and the United States would dis- | turb the existing trade relations of the | | North Pacific and nullify treaty rights. | | Thne State Department has practically | test against the Hawalian annexation | treaty, but has not yet delivered it. The | | reply is understood to be dignified in tone, | a strong leal aefense of our position which, without in any sense abating our | claims, does not disdain to support them | by much citation of precedent and inter- | | national law. B 1 Snerman will contend that the status of Japanese with reference to American | | citizenship has neyer been definitely de- | | termined and that restrictions against the naturalization of coolies has not been | conistrued against Japanese within recent | years. The question is one for the courts | todecide. Annexation cannot therefore bea denial of the rights and | granted to y privileges | Japanese in Hawaii. The | | Cninese exclusion act does not prevent | the admission of Japanese, and until the | | embargo against coolie labor has baen | | heid to apply to all Mongolians by the United States courts Japanese residents | of Hawaii may still hope to be secure after annexation in all rights guaranteed Statements made e .

Out of this sum the interest on the Hawaian debt is to be paid, but pro. vision for the payment of the principal of this debt is deferred. In reply to a question Senator Morgan said that his bill was intended to carry the annexation treaty into execution in case it shouid be ratified by the Senate, or to provide for its ratification by the joint action of the two Houses in case the Senate should refuse to act. ““The treaty,”” said the Senator, ‘“can be ratified 1n the form of a majority vote each of the two Houses, thus avoiding the necessity for securing two-thirds of the Senate, as would be required if the matter should be passed upon by that bod: alone.” The Senator said that circumstances would determine whether the bill should be pressed during the present session of Congress. q Saengeriest Potes for Brooklym.
