2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1897. United States have been forced upon the Spanish Government. Woodford’s first duty after arriving in Madrid will be to secure relief for the pacificos in Cuba. The President has given no serious con- sideration to the rumored propositions for the purchase of Cuban ireedom by an American syndicate, and the scheme is considered to be fgnciful. Woodford’s conference with the President ended at 1 o’clock. It lasted four honrs. ® MADRID, Erary, June 24.—The Heraldo to-day publishesa violent editorial on the career of Woodford, the newly appointed United States Minister to Spain, recalling the pro-Cuban epeech made by him in 1870. It says if it is true that he made such a speech, and that he is 8 member at present of the Cuban League, the new Minister is one filibuster more, and can- not enter Spain or be received at the Spanish court. The Imparcial says sarcastically that Woodford ought to be persona grata with the present conservative Government, STANDARD OIL NOW IN GAS.

The conference at which the arrangements were com- vleted was the last of a series and was of a most important character. Messrs.

Addicks accepted tne Standard’s proposition that Le should re- fund about §22,000,000 in cash or its eugiva- lent 10 the compeny, in consideration of which all litigatiou is to be ended. Mr. Addicks, bv virtue of the arrange- ment, retires from the gas field, and the next move will probably be a reorganiza- tion of the entire business on a similar basis.

Novel Charitable Schems Successfully Carried Gut in Des Moines. DES MOINES, Iowa, June 24.—The women o6f Des Moines are trying a new method ef raising money for charitable purposes. Itwas aecided some time ago that it was desirable to raise a fund for the benefit of the Home for the Aged. The women’s clubs of the city took hold of the affair, and after canvassing the varions possible methods, decided that they wounld ask the streetcar companies to allow them to run the cars for one day. This was agreed to, and to-day was set for the novel experiment. The women are in charge of the various lines and each car is provided with a pretty girl as con- ductor. An unusually large number of men ere riding® to-day, many of them for the pleasure of watching the amateur con- ductors at their work. The conductors are not obliged to make change with the same care as the regulars whom they replace, and as a result the womer expect to net about $3000 for the fund. e MISSISSIPPI ¥LOUD DAMAGES, The $3,000,000 Appropriation to Be Distributed South of Cairo.

Average Rates in the Tobacco Schedule Are Also Agreed Upon. In the Senate Jones and Vest Make Many Amendments That Are Quickly Defeated. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24 —Hides will bear duty is the decision of the Re- publicsn caucus to-night. This, together with a settlement of some que tions in the tobacco schedule, comprised the busi- ness of the session. It was a hot night, the attendance was not large and an ad- jourament was unegxpectedly reached shortly aiter 10 o'clock. The tight on hides was largely a contro- versy between East Pennsylvania and ihe West, principaily producing common- wealths. The latter, whose representa- tives were sustaining the Finance Com- mittee’s action in fixing a duty of 11 cents a pound on hides, were victorious by a comfortable majority. Tte rate ol duty was left for future de- termination. Itis expected the rate will be 1 cent a pound. It was voted to make the duty on un- stemmed Sumatra wrapper: $175 a pound. This was the principal controversy in the tobacco sciedule, and the amount named is an average of the rate fixed in the House bill, §2 a pound, and that reported by the Finance Committee, $1 50 a pound. The same principle obtained in deciding upon the rate for cigars, cheroots and cigarettes, it being fixed at $4 25 a thou- sand, half way between the House and present bills. e ige PROGRESS OF THE BILL. Numerous Amendments in the Semate Adre Dif.ated. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—Hale of Maine came forward to-day with a sur- prisein the form of a proposed amend- ment to the Senate ruls admitting to the privileges of the floor of the Senate only ex-members who are not interested in any claim or in the prosecution of the same or directly interested in any bill pending be- fore Congress. The text of the proposed change is the following: “The purpose of’the proposed smend- ment isto prevent ex-Senators from en- joying the privileges of the floor of the Senate for the purpose of urging or op- Hale stated that it was a matter of sat- isfaction to renew the acquaintance and the association of Senators who had been members of the body, but he did not think it was compatible with the dignity of the Senate that the privileges of the floor should be used by zentlemen interested in pending legislation. Hale suggested that there might be some objection to any pointing oat of ex- | Seunators, and Allen asked, “What bad | taken place in recent asys to call atten- tion to the subject ?"’ Hale sasked thathe be not requested to particularizs. Ailen declared that thers had been no more iobbying of late than there had been for years. At one time he had in- on the Capitcl grounas with a view to lobbying on pending measures. It was at a time when the pooling bill and other measures were bringing lobbyists from all parts of the country. Why not make ita crime covering all lobbyists, he asked. Hale expiained that he was not seeking any such drastic measure. Allen again asseried that lobbyists crowded the corridors and galleries. The proposed amendment went over. ‘When the tariff bill was taken up the question was on the Finance Committee’s amendment on paragraph 364, relating to cloths, knit fabric and all manufactares of wool. Jones of Arkansas moved, instead of the words “made wholly or in partof wool,” to make the clause read ‘‘made wholly of wool or of which wool is the component material of chief value.” The amenament was defeated. Jones newed the amendment in another form, his purpose being to make the paragraph apply only to actual wool fabrics. The second amendment was also defeated. Jones then moved to add to the para- graph a provision that specific duties should not be operative till after twelve months. He declared there was a year's supply of raw wool on hand and asserted thers was no justice in sllowing com- pensatory duties under such circam- stances. This amenament shared the fate of the others. Then Jones moved to re- duce the compensatory duty on cloth from ‘‘tnree times’’ the duty on unwashed wool to twice the duty. That was also de- feated. The committee amendments to para- graph 364 were agreed to. The next paragraph (365), relating to blankets and flannels for underwear, was made to read: “On blankets and flannels for underwear, composed wholly or In part of wool valued at not more than 40 cents a pound, the duty per pound shail be the same as the duty imposed in this acton two pounds of unwashed wool of the first class, and in addition thereto 30 per cent ad valorem; valued at more than 40 cents and not more than 50 cents the duty per pound shell be two and a haif times the duty on unwashed wool of the first class, with 35 per cent ad valorem. On blankets valued at not more than 50 cents per pound the duty per pound shall be three times the duty on unwashed wool of the first class.”” Vest moved to substitute the provision in the existing law for paragraph 365, stating that in this paragraph on blankets, an “article of absoiute and prime neces- sity,” the rates wWere equal to 7L.63 cents and 83 per cent ad valorem, and on-flan- nels 125 per cent. The motion was de- teated. Paragraph 365 was then agreed to, Pettigrow gave notice of an amendment putting a tax of 10 per cent on all articles manufactured by trusts. The next paragraph (366), relating to women’s and children’s dress gooas, coat hinings, etc., was agreed to. Paragraphs 367, 368 and 369 were adopted, aiter vain attempts by Vest to amend or substitute. This brought the bill down to the first of the carpet paragraphs. It wasamended on motion of Allison by making the duty on Axminster and chenille carpets 6215 cents instead of 60 cents a square yard and 40 per cent ad valorem. Vest moved to strike out the specific Tate, leaving the duty at 40 per centad DID ANARCHISTS CAUSE THE PARIS HOLOCAUST ? CHICAGO, ILL., June 24.—T! a story which has reached Chicago he Post to-day says: According to from Paris via Washington the ter- rible holocaust which wiped out over a hundred lives at the French capital on May 4 was the work of the upper ciasses of France.
