MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES.
The Amended Sugar Schedule and Its Col-
lateral Provisions—Cotton Ties Re-
stored to the Dutiable List.
Wool, Lumber, Etc.
Washington, July 20.—The revised
tariff agreement was reported by Chair—
man Dingley to the house today.
The report proper is not yet printed,
but the bill is printed with all the
amendments as they will stand, togeth-
er with notes explanatory of the house
rates.
The sugar schedule agreed upon is
neither the house schedule nor the sen-
ate schedule, but an entirely new one.
It will provide more revenue by from
$2,000,000 to $3,000,000 (than the schedule
originally presented {‘0 the conference.
It reads as follows:
“Sugars not above No. 16 Dutch
standard in color, tank bottoms, sirups
of cane juice, melada, concentrated
melada, concrete and concentrated mo-
lasses, testing by the polariscope not
above 75 degrees, ninety-five—one-hun—
dredths of licent per pound, and for
every additional degree shown by the
polariscopic test thirty-five-one—thou-
sandths of 1 cent per pound additional,
and fractions of a degree in proportion;
and on sugar above No. 16 Dutch stand-
ard in color, and on all sugar which has
gone through a process of refining, 1
cent and ninety-five-one—hundredths of
1 cent per pound; molasses testing
above 40 degrees and not above 56
degrees, 3 cents per gallon;
56 degrees and above, 6 cents per gal-
lon; sugar drawings and sugar sweep-
ings ~shall be subject to duty as mo-
lasses or sugar, as the case may be, ac-
cording to polariscopic test.”
Tariff to Take Effect at Once.
The most important changes are as
follows:
The bill is to take effect immediately
instead of on May 1.
Barax, 5 cents per pound instead of 2
cents as under the present law and the
house bill.
Soda ash also takes the senate amend-
ment of three-eighths of a cent per
pound. Arseniate of soda, 1% cents per
pound.
White pine lumber, $2 per 1,000.
The following provision is inserted as
a senate amendment:
"Provided that if any country or de-
pendency shall impose an export duty
upon saw logs, round, unmanufactured
timber, stave bolts. shingle bolts or
heading bolts exported to the United
States or a discriminating charge upon
boom sticks or chains used by Amer—
ican citizens in towing logs, the amount
of such export duty, tax or other
charge, as the case may be, shall be
added as an additional duty to the du-
ties imposed upon the articles mention-
ed in this paragraph when imported
from such country or dependency.”
On maple sugar and sirup the house
rate of 4 cents per pound is retained,
and on sugar cane the house rate of 20
per cent ad valorem.
Saccharine, $1.50 and 10 per cent ad
valorem.
Sugar candy and all confectionery not
specially provided for in this act, val-
ued at 15 cents per pound or less, and
on sugars after being refined, when
tinctured, colored or in any way adul-
terated, 4 cents per pound and 15
per cent ad valorem; valued at more
than 15 cents per pound, 50 per cent
ad valorem. The weight and the value
of the immediate coverings, other than
the outer package, case or other cover-
ing, shall be included in the dutiable
weight and the value of the merchan-
dise.
The conference amendment changes
the rate on unstemmed tobacco to $1.85
per pound and adopts the senate amend-
ment providing that the term wrapper
tobacco means that quality of tobacco
which is salable for cigar wrappers, and
the term filler tobacco means all other
leaf tobacco. The rate on all unspecified
tobacco is 35 cents per pound.
Snuff, 55 cents per pound; cigars, cig-
arettes and cheroots, $4.50 per pound
and 25 per cent ad valorem.
Wool, \Vood Pulp and Coal.
First class wools, 11 cents per pound;
second class, 12 cents; third class, the
value of which shall be 12 cents or less
per pound, 4 cents per pound.
Third class wool at a value exceeding
12 cents per pound, 7 cents per pound.
The house made the dividing line 13
,ents and senate 10 cents.
Mechanically ground wood pulp, one-
twelfth cent per pound; chemically un-
bleached, one-sixth cent; bleached, one-
fourth cent, dry weight, with a proviso
for an additional duty equal to the ex-
port duty imposed by any country.
The duty on bituminous coal and all
coal containing less than 92 per cent of
fixed carbon, 67 cents, with a proviso
that on all imported coal used on ves-
sels of American register in trade with
foreign countries a drawback shall be
allowed equal to the amount of duty.
Hides 15 per cent ad valorem. with a
proviso for a,drawback equal to the
amount of duty on all leather exported
mad. from imported hides.
Sugar and molasses: The house
differential between raw and refined
sugars and the general features of the
hone schedule are preserved, and the
senate amendments increasing the dif-
ferential to one-fifth and providing for
a reduction of one-tenth of the duty on
raw sugars not above 87 degrees which
would have given a. duty of 15‘ on 88
degrees sugar and "only 1.26 on 87 de-
grees sugar, are not adopted. In defer-
ence to the wishes of those interested
in beet alga: production, that the sen-
ate rate of 1.95 on refined sugar might
be retained as an increased encourage-
ment to this industry, the duty on raw
sugars is increased 71:42-100, so as to
make the increase on them the same as
the increase on refined sugar and thus
leave the differential between raw sug-
ar and refined the same as in the house
bill. ‘
:And to meet the objection which has
been urged that the house rates on low
grade raw sugar show a higher ad va—
lorem than those on the higher grades,
the duty on 75 degree sugar is reduced
5-100 of a cent, and then the duty per
degree increased regularly from 3-100.
as proposed in the house bill, to 3%400,
in order to raise the duty on raw sug-
rars the same as on refined.
Cotton ties, which were placed on the
'~ list by the senate, are restored to
testing,

The Effect on Sugar Stocks.
New York, July 23.—Another excited
market for the certificates of the Amer-
ican Sugar Refineries company was
witnessed on the Stock Exchange to-
day. Under exceedingly large deal-
ings the certificates made a new record,
selling at 139, the previous highest price
they had ever sold at having been 1377/8
on Tuesday of last week. The news
from Washington that the tariff bill
conferees had reached an agreement
was the stimulating influence.
LIEUTENANT vPEARY SAILS.
Start of the Arctic Expedition on the
Hope From Boston.
Boston, July 20,—The' steam sealing
bark Hope, with Lieutenant R. E.
Peary and party on board, bound for
northern Greenland, left this port to—
day, fully equipped for the voyage. The
work of provisioning the vessel was be-
gun as soon as she arrived in port last
Thursday, and, with the intermission of
Sunday, when the religious scruples of
the Canadian seamen who are employ-
ed were respected and operations were
suspended, was completed only a short
time before the vessel sailed.
The object of the voyage is to bring
about the establishment of a settlement
at a remote northern point in Green—
land, which shall be used as a base of
supplies for an expedition in search of
the north pole under Lieutenant Peary
in 1898. To this end a party of E'skimos
will be located at the new settlement
and will, during the next year, be en-
gaged in making preparations for Lieu—
tenant Peary’s expedition.
In the party which left here today
are 43 persons, including, besides Lieu-
tenant and Mrs. Peary and their daugh-
ter, their servants and the crew, Mr.
and Mrs. H. J. Lee of Meriden, Conn.,
Robert Stein of the United States geo-
logical survey, Albert Operti, the scenic
artist; J. D. Figgins of Falls Church,
Va., taxidermist; Dr. Frederick Sohon,
surgeon, Washington, and several in-
vestigatingparties—one under the di-
rection of Professor C. H. Hitchcock
of Dartmouth, who will study glaciers
and the relics of the old Norse colonists
from Iceland, and another from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo-
gy, under R. W. Porter, who will re-
main in the north through the next
winter to hunt. There are also on
board two representatives of the Na-
tional museum.
The Hope will make direct for Syd-
ney, C. B.,.where she will take in coal
for the rest of the voyage. The ship
will skirt the coast of Greenland, drop-
ping the scientific party at various
points, and taking Lieutenant Peary
to Whale sound, where his plans for es-
tablishing a settlement will be carried
out. The return voyage will be begun,
it is expected, in about five weeks after
the Hope arrives, and the parties will
be picked up on the way back.

DANGERS OF A LATE START.
From $ptember to May the Mining Die»
trict Is Shut Ofl' From the 'World
by Ice—A Railroad to the Klon- ‘
dike Region Suggested.
Seattle, Wash" July 21.—The feeling
of exultation which followed the first
reports about the great gold strikes has
given place here to one of desperation,
and it seems today as if not more than
1 in 50 of the men who are in the city
and anxious to start north will be able
to do so.
For the most part these men are
young and ambitious, the victims of
adversity and hard times, who saw in
this new El Dorado a place where they
would no longer be failures in life. They
are clamoring for a chance to reach the
Klondike district, but today the outlook
is dark for most of them.
The steamship Portland, which
brought from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 in
gold dust, will sail for the diggings
Thursday morning.
The Portland’s trip north will be the
last this season—that is, it will be the
last on which her owners will guarantee
to put the passengers into the Klondike.
The river freezes in September. From
St. Michael's passengers and their bag-
gage are transferred to the river steam-
ers of the company. Barges are placed
in tow of the steamers, which are all of
light draft, owing to the rapids of the
Yukon. They are loaded with tons of
provisions.
So great is the desire to get into the
goldfields with the rush that all sorts
of tricks have been resorted to, such as
drugging a man and stealing his tickets
on the steamer Alki, whose berths were
all sold 48 hours before she sailed.
P. B. Weare, vice president of the
North American Trading company, to
which the steamship Portland belongs,
is receiving hundreds of letters asking
for information regarding the gold-
fields. He said today:
“The boat which sails from Seattle
this month is full—every passage taken.
That means that any one who wants to
go to the Klondike must wait for the
August boats.
A Long Journey.
"The journey is 7,000 miles, but people
talk abroad as if it was walking across
the street. They don’t realize what
Alaska is—what the Yukon is.
“They will need a map to convince
them that the country of the Yukon
and its tributaries in Alaska and Brit-
ish America is as large as the whole
United States east of the Mississippi.
that it is longer than a trip to Europe
before they reach the Bering sea and
the mouth of the Yukon, that by the
time they strike the Yukon the Alaskan
arctic winter will be upon them.
“By Sept. 25 the weather settles and
the Yukon river is frozen solid until the
following May.
“The expense of getting from Chicago
to Seattle is $60, and from Seattle to the
Bering sea is $150. Thousands of west—
ern men‘ will go, but, of course, the
coast people expect everything in their
favor.
“One thing must be remembered, that
the Klondike country is in British do-
main, and will be governed accord-
ingly.”
C. B. McIntosh of the Northwest Ter-
ritory, in which is included the Klon-
dike gold district, is in Seattle. He
freely subscribes to the truthfulness of
the stories sent out as to the richness
of the new diggings. He estimates that
the Klondike and its tributaries yielded
more than $3,000,000 in gold last wi‘n-
ter. Of this amount he says $2,000,000
and upward came via the steamships
Portland and Excelsior. More than
$1,000,000 in dust, he says, is now stored
away in the cabins of miners along the
creek.
“The British Yukon yield of gold for
1897,” the governor resumed, “will not
be less than $10,000,000.” He says sur-
veyors are at work trying to ascertain
the feasibility of the construction of a
railroad into the Yukon. One route
contemplates a line of steamers from
Fort Wrangel up the Styken river.
A Syracuse Paper Suspends.
Syracuse, July 21.—The Syracuse
Evening News suspended publication
today. The paper was started by a
stock company about six years ago,
controlled and backed by Thomas
Ryan, breWer and Democratic politi-
cian. Three months ago the company
went into the hands of a receiver.

St. Joseph, M0,, July 21.—-—The force of

ployees of that company are now work-
ing full time, for the first time in sev-
eral years. The force has also been in-
creased in all departments.

Direct Taxes Bill Passed.
Paris, July 21.—-The chamber of depu-
ties by a vote of 516 to 7 today passed
the direct taxes bill, for which M. Cav-
aignac on Friday last endeavored tt

which the chamber defeated by a vott

SHERMAN AS A TAIL TWISTER.
England Believes the United States II
Trying to Force a War.
London, July 19.—The Sunday papers
review the letter of Secretary of State
'John Sherman and comment at length
upon the Bering sea controversy. The
references of The Observer follow:
"As couched. such terms could not be
employed by any other civilized nation
not determined upon war. If anything
is meant by the letter it means a men-
ace to Great Britain, and the combined
hostility of the United States and Rus-
sia. Unfortunately, the party in power
in the United States is under tempta-
tions to distract attention from the
failure to dispel depression."
The weekly papers take virtually the
same View as the dailies with reference
to Secretary Sherman's dispatch on the
sealing question. The Spectator says:
"He scolds the British government as
if ministers were a set of mean, under-
hand, thieving scoundrels. It is abso-
lutely essential that Lord Salisbury
should refuse to consider the question
in any shape until he has received an
apology for such wanton imputations.”
The Speaker says: "Mr. Sherman is
an old man. We hope for his sake that
the dispatch was drafted by some in-
subordinate who was for the time be-
ing oppressed by the heat. Its language
is quite strong enough to justify the
suspension of all diplomatic relations
if that were worth while.”
The Morning Post's editorial yester-
day suggesting that the time would
come when a certain class of Americans
would force a war, represents the true
conviction of a majority of the Eng-
lish people, who firmly believe that the
United States is seeking a war with
Great Britain. An interesting corre-
spondence confirming this view of the
matter appears in The Morning Post.
One correspondent says: “History re-
peats itself. We should at once find
that, as in 1812, our cruisers, though
more numerous, would relatively be in-
ferior for offensive and defensive oper-
ations against those opposed to them.
Moreover, as regards familiarity in the
uSe of high explosive shells, both at sea
and on shore, we are not in it with the
Americans. It seems to me that we are
rapidly approaching the crisis in our
history which will decide once for all
our existence as an empire."
JAPAN AND SPAIN.
The Report of Their Alliance Against
the United States Said to Have
Been Confirmed.
London, July 19.-—-A dispatch from
Paris to a news association says that
a continued investigation into the re-
ports of the Spanish-Japanese alliance
against the United States government
indicates that, despite the repeated de-
nials, there is reason to believe that
early developments may prove that
there is some truth in the information.
The rumor of the Spanish—Japanese
alliance against the government of the
United States came from Madrid.
The report has been confirmed by cer-
tain members of interested embassies,
who are likely to be acquainted with
the subject.
THE BIG STRIKE.
West Virginia Miners In Line With Penu-
sylvania and Ohio.
Wheeling, July 19.—A few days ago
the representatives of the national as-
sembly of the United Mine Workers of
Ameri’ca came into southwestern West
Virginia. At that time the mines were in
operation, and larger amounts of coal
were being turned out daily than ever
before in the history of'this region.
Today the situation is entirely chang-
ed. Working with unceasing energy,
the representatives of the miners have
turned the scale little by little, and now
the miners in the Elkhorn, Logan,
Thacker and Shamokin fields, along the
Norfolk and Western, have laid down
their picks and swore fealty to the cause
of their Pennsylvania and Ohio breth-
ren.
They are 5,000 strong, and in addition
to quitting work themselves the edict
has gone forth from them that the
mines in the Flat Top and Pocahontas
fields must also close.
The agents of the strikers will leave
for the last named fields at once, and
there a new campaign? will be opened
in the expectation ,that it will be no
less successful than here. It is believed
that 9 tomorrow night not a miner in
this tacit, outside of the Winnifrede
mines, ill be at work, and that in a
short time the whole state will be
tied up.
_Durrnnt and the Stars.
San Francisco, July -19.—The parents

it is doubtful whether the prison di-
rectors will permit this.

TARIPP IN THE SENATE.
Morgan Asked an Assurance Which Allb
son Could Not. Give.
Washington, July 21.—When the hour
at noon arrived today there was a large
attendance of spectators in the senate
galleries, attracted by the fact that the
closing sessions of the tariff bill were-
about to be initiated on that legislative
stage. The approaching struggle was
alluded to in- the chaplain’s opening
prayer, asking for “an adjustment of
difficulties where there are any ques-
tions that vex and disquiet; also that
the councils of the senate may issue in
such legislation as shall be for the best
interests of the people in every com-
monwealth, so that every fear may be
disappointed and every hope realized.”
Mr. Morgan of Alabama offered a res-
olution, which was agreed to, asking
the president to inform the senate
whether any, and what, demand has
been made on the government of Spain
for indemnity to Samuel J. Tolan, a
citizen of the United States, for arbi-
trary arrest and imprisonment in Cuba.
A message having been received from
the house as to the agreement to the
tariff official report, Mr. Allison moved
to take it up.
Mr. Morgan (Ala.) asked Mr. Allison
what assurance he could give that after
the tariff bill was disposed of an oppor-
tunity would be given for action on oth-
er questions. He said that he would
want to discuss the political situation,
the revenue situation and the situation
as it related to the burdens of taxation;
also ~t‘he historical situfit‘ion of the tariff
measure in both houses. If assurance
could not be given that there would be
an opportunity for discussion during the
present session, he would have to take
advantage of the conference report and
discuss those subjects in a disorderly
way, perhaps, “but,” said he, “when
men have been tied up and laid on their
backs, it is not expected that they
should preserve their equanimity, and
not make any grimaces or any kind of
resist ce. I will insist that it is as
much he duty of the senate to save the
government from the robbery of 350,-
000,000 (referring to the Union Pacific
matter) as it is to pass a tariff bill
which, I think, will also be a robbery of
the people, and unless I get assurance
that time will be allowed for discussing
and acting on other questions after this
bill has been disposed of I will be com-
pelled, in self defense, to wander around
a good deal (on this conference report)
in the discussion of the general situa-
tion.”
Mr. Allison said that it was impossi-
ble for him to give assurance what was
to be done from day to day. Of course
he did not want to cut off anybody, but
this tariff conference report was now
the most important matter before the
senate, and he hoped that it would he
proceeded with. The bill was then read.
Now Let Spain Beware.
Washington, July 21.—The senate has
passed the joint resolution empowering
the president to take steps for the re-
lease 'of Ona Melton and other Competi-
tor prisoners held by Spain.
Dr. Parkhurst's Health.
London, July 21. --Reports having
reached here that the condition of Dr.
Parkhurst of New York was causing
anxiety to his friends, a correspondent
made inquiries as to the state of his
health. Dr. Parkhurst ‘elegraphed to-
day from the Hotel Mooser, at Vevay,
on the lake of Geneva, Switzerland, say-
ing: “I am improving, though less rap-
idly than I expected. I am sorry that I
will not return in time to register.”
“Parsifal” at Baireuth.
Baireuth, July 21.—An ideal perform-
