BLESSING FOR THE QUEEN.
England’s Sovereign Remembered In the
Blind Chaplain’s~ Invocation—The
Tariff Debate Formally Begun.
Other Capital News.
Washington, May 27.—The senate
chamber was a center of interest today,
as it was expected that the tariff de-
bate would advance from the stage of
set speeches to the actual considera-
tion of the bill. This was the pro-
gramme for the day, as outlined by
those in charge of the bill.
The public interest in the discussion
promised to exceed that on the Cuban
resolutions, and the galleries were
crowded from the outset. The parlia-
mentary status‘of the bill, according
to the calendar, was that of “unfinish-
ed business,” which gave the bill the
right of way at 2 o’clock, although it
Was understood the measure would be
taken up before then if the morning
business was disposed of before that
hour.
The approach of the Victorian jubilee
served as the theme for an eloquent'
invocation by the blind chaplain of the
senate, Rev. Dr. Milburn. “The long
and illustrious reign of the gracious
lady Victoria, wife, mother, as well as
sovereign,” he said, “has shrined her
in the hearts and reverence of true
'men and 'women around the World.
May her last days be her best and hap-
piest. Guide the councils of that realm
and of our own beloved country that
hand in hand they may tread the path
of conservative progress to the goal of
Christian civilization.”
Among the petitions was one present—
ed by Mr. Smith of New Jersey from
the liquor dealers of 21 counties in New
Jersey protesting against the proposed
tax on beer.
The final conference report on the In-
dian appropriation bill was presented,
but not acted on. It provides for open-
ing the Uncompahgre Indian reserva-
tion in Utah, reserving to the United
States the asphalt and gilsonite lands.
The bill was passed extending the
time for building the railroad bridge
across the Illinois river near Grafton,
1115.; also the bill authorizing abridge
over the Clinch river at Kingston, Tenn.
Mr. Allison of Iowa secured the pas-
sage of a joint resolution appropriating
$225,000 for deficiencies at the govern-
ment printing office.
At 2 o’clock the senate took up the
tariff bill, and the formal reading of
the bill began.
Upon the conclusion of the reading
the general debate was formally begun.
Mr. White of California, in behalf of
the Democratic members of the finance
committee, submitted a number of ta-
bles showing the articles on which the
duties were from 50 to 75 per cent, from
75 to 100 per cent and over 100 per cent.

1895, which repealed the statute of limi-
' tations against the recovery by veter-
ans of bo'unties voted during the civil_
war.
BETTER WEATHER PP .EDIGTIONS.
Important Devolopments From Recent
Experiments ’With liiies.
W'ashington, May 27.—The most sig-
nificant development in ‘weather fore-
casting for years, making it possible/ to
forecast for a period at least 16 hours
longer than at present, and more ac-
curately, has been attained by the
weather bureau and soon will be ap-
plied’ practically. It is the result of the
experiments with kitesflown at dis.-
tances one to two miles above the sur-
face of the earth. Daily readings have
been taken for some time at this alti—
tude, and the fact has been established
that shifting of the wind takes place at
a mile level above the earth's surface
from 12 to 16 hours before the same
change of direction takes place on the
surface. This is due to the same forces
which operate to cause wind shifts to
produce a storm, one condition being
dependent on the other.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
taken great interest in the experiments,
which were made, by Chief Moore of the
weather bureau, and his consultations
with Professor Moore have resulted‘
in .the formulation of a policy which
will make weather predictions more
valuable in the future.
The most imperfect part of weather
forecasting now is the prediction as to
rain or snow. Meteorologists for the
last ten yea‘rs have been imprEssed
with the fact that future data as to
storms must come from a knowledge of
upper air conditions. The aeroplane in-
vestigations, as announced today, have
reached that point where it can be safe-
ly stated that within'six months the
government weather bureau, for the
first time in the history of any meteor-
ological service, can construct a tele—
graphic synchronous chart based on air
conditions one mile above the earth.
This chart will cover the conditions be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Rockies
at the outset.
Chief Moore says this step probably
will mark a new epoch in the weather
forecasting problem. With these high
level readings the bureau will have the
moisture contents of the upper strata
as well as the lower. It will be seen
how important this double information
is when it is considered that the tw'o
strata of air may, by shifting of the
wind, become mixed within 24 hours,
and that the precipitation will depend
upon the average moisture of the mass.
THE SPANISH CRISIS»
.‘ Manifesto Expected From Sagasta—Ca-
novas Clinging to Power.
Madrid, May 27. —It is understood
that Senor Sagasta, the Liberal leader.
will soon publish an important political
statement, in which he will announce
his unalterable opposition to the sale
of Cuba and his unyielding support of
the .maintenance of the integrity of
Spanish territory.
The premier, Senor Canovas del Cas-
tillo, denies the existence of a cabinet
crisis and says he is resolved to remain
in office in spite of the abstention of
the opposition from taking part in the
sessions of the Cortes.
' The budget committee has reported
favorably on the projected loan with
the Almaden quicksilver mines as se-
curity, and has also reported favorably
on the financial measures proposed to
meet the expenses of the wars.
To Make Beet Sugar.
Milwaukee, May 27.—According to
Karl G. Corn, until recently the man-
ager of the beet sugar factory at Menom—
onee Falls, a company of foreign cap-
italists has been formed which will en-
ter upon the manufacture of beet sugar
on a large scale in this and other states.
He claims that all of the men whom he
has succeeded in interesting in the mat-
ter are men who have had a wide ex-
perience in the business in Europe.
Electric Railways In Nicaragua.
Richmond, Ind., May 27.—Announce-
ment was made here of the formation
of a company to build a 150 mile elec—
tric line in' Nicaragua. Isham Sedg-
Wick of this city is president; Peter
Backes, Trenton, secretary, and C. H.
Hall, Trenton, treasurer. The nominal
capital is $100,000, and the name of the
company is the Atlantic and Lake
Nicaragua Railroad and Navigation

The Kentucky Bank Tax.
Frankfort, Ky., May 27.—An applica-
tion was filed by the Northern Bank of
Kentucky with the secretary of state
for authority to reduce its capital stock
from $1,800,000 to $900,000. This is for
the purpose of issuing $900,000 in certifi-
cates of deposit to stockholders in lieu
of that value in stock. By this means
it is hoped ,to evade the law taxing
bank stocks.
Kentucky Judge a Suicide.

penditure of $2,500,000.
