day. being defeated on three important
votes. Cotton bagging was placed on the
free list by a vote of 30 to 2f» and cotton
ties also by a vote of 3 to 23. Ti < duty on

pine occasioned the greatest surprise, and

on both .-ides of the chamber. !>ai the
e«iriy stages ol the debate the duty on
lumber, including pine, was placed at *2 al-
ter a protracted eonttst.
To-<i;iy Mr. Teller returned lo tin contest
and moved to puice w hi; • pirn umb<-! u!i
the free list. Tilt amendment was dt ! ;«t-

ative.
i o.lowing up this cIum- votf. Mr. -Mantle
(silver republican) moved to reduc< the rate
(Hi whit<. i)iin- itom Ifil to •>! and it carried
by a majority of one. Two republicans,
Baker and Carter, voted with the demo-
crat's in the affirmative, and three demo-
crats, Bac-ii. MelOrcry and Martin, wi.h
1 he republicans. The bill is now coni-
j»:i ted with the exception of the reciproc-
ity section and som. comparatively mi-
nor paragraphs. Much progress was made
to-day in ec.-aring up detaclie paragraphs
heretofore passed over, unly three of
these—coal tar. potosn and Ua—remain, so
ihat these items, the reciprocity section
and the brief internal revenue and admin-
istrative provisions are all that remain of
the bill to be disposed f before the (inal
vote is taken.
The near approach of the completion of
the tariff hi., was referred to in the open-
ing pray r of the senate to-day by iti v.
jhigh Johnson, who said: "We recognize-
thy nand in ibis work of commercial legis-
lation now near completion in so short a
pcitud ci congressional histoiy. We thank
thee fur the courage, the disinterestedness
and the generosity exhibited by senators
and representatives, and that party inter-
ests and feelings and local interests have
been subordinated to the expressed will of
the majority in this legislation."
The tariff bill was taken up promptly.
At the outset Mr. Teiier made inquiries as
to the reports that an anti-trust amend-
ment would be brought in. This was a
most important matter, he said, and there
should be ample time for the consideration
of it.
Mr. Allison said he did not know what
disposal was to be made of the subject, as
no action had been taken by the linance
committee.
Mr. Teller said it had been reported about
the chamber that such an amendment had
been considered in caucus He urged that
it should not be brought in at the last mo-
ment for a vote.
Mr. Allison gave assurances that no such
hasty action would be taken.
Mr. White of California remarked that
the anti-trust subject had beer, drooped.
The trouble with the senator (White)
himself, answered Mr. Teller, is that we are
not members of the republican caucus and
are therefore somewhat in the dark.
Mr. Allison reported back the amendment
to the coal paragraph offered by Mr. White
yesterday, allowing a drawback of duty on
coal used in American vessels engaged in
foreign trade and in the trade between At-
lantic and Pacific ports of the United
States. The original amendment was mod-
ified by the committee to meet the coast-
wide trade.
The amendment caused much debate and
several senators urged that it go over, but
it was finally agreed to without division.
Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin gave notice of
a comprehension amendment providing for
the assignment of three general appraisers
to make an investigation of all questions
relating to the tariff; the differences in la-
bor cos; here and abroad; also to make an
analysis of the schedules of this tariff bill
with a view of correcting any inequalities
that may exist. The result of the inquiry
is to be reported to the secretary of the
treasury and to congress.
The proposed amendment placing cotton
bagging on the free list was then consid-
ered at l^ngtli. Mr. Pettus of Alabama
had previously given notice of an amend-
ment as follows:
"Bagging for cotton, gunny cloth and all
materials suitable for covering cotton, com-
posed wholly or in part of hemp, flax, jute
or jute butts."
Air. Pettus spoke in support of the
amendment, saying he desired to avoid a
party contest and expected to secure re-
publican votes.
Mr. White moved to extend the amend-
ment to burlap and grain nags made of
burlap. The debate was protracted and in
the main technical. As finally amended
the proposed paragraph is as follows:
"Bagging for cotton, gunny cloth and
similar fabrics, suitable for covering cot-
ton, composed of single yards, made of
jute, jute butts or hemp; plain woven fab-
iics, bags and sacks of single jute or
hemp yarns, by whatever known, and bur-
laps and bags for grain made of burlap."
In this form the amendment was agreed
to—30 to 25. The affirmative vote was dem-
ocratic. Allen, Cannon. Helttield, Kyle,
Mantle and Teller a'so voted yes.
The negative vote was republican
throughout with one exception.
Mr. Bacon's amendment placing cotton
ties on the free list was then considered
and after a brief explanation by Mr. Bacon
was agreed to—2' to 23.
Charcoal, farina and feldspar were struck
from the free list, and coal tar went over,
at the request of Mr. Quay.
The paragraph placing on the free list
hides and skins not specifically provided
for was restored.
The committee paragraph relating to oils
on the free list was agreed to as reported.
Mr. Allison at first proposed a substitute
for the proviso fixing a retalitory duty of
40 per cent ad valorem on crude petroleum
coming from countries paying an export
duty on petroleum. When their' was some
criticism of ttie subject Mr. Allison with-
drew it ami the proviso stands as rigiiuil-
\v reported, making the retallatorv duty
equal to the export dut>.
Cocoanut oil was taken from the free list
and placed on the dutiable list at . cents
a pound.
Sheep dip was restored and sodium struck
from ihe fre- list.
Crude sulphur or brimstone in bulk was
taken lrom the free list and made dutiable
at ;<•-> cents a ton.
The paragraph relating to the personal
effects of persons arriving In the 1 ;• d
States was modified so that the effects
laken abroad may be brought bark without
lo. ii. while effects acquired abroad and
admissible free are to b<- limited to A
i w paragraph was inserted in the fre« list
covering works of art, the production of
American artists temporarily living abroad
and other works of art imported for piv-
srntation purposes.
The iron « r-» paragraph was furtb' r
ehi.nged, making the reference fo man-
gaiiest .1- follows: "Manganese ore
containing lt-.ss than forty metallic units in
dry state, Ji per ton."
Mr. Teller moved an amendment Includ-
ing in the fret ii.^t, "rough lumber manu-
factured ot white pine."
The senator criticised the course of the
committee in placing white pin" >m t!:• -
dutiable list, thus encouraging the destruc-
tion of pine, when it was known t!.< .nip-
ply would not last eight years. He a; i lie
was for protection, but would not carry it
to extremes, compelling every man build-
ing a home or using a stick of pino to pay
tribute to the new owners of pin- . This
was not republican doctrine, which was
opposed to the advance of prices on the
necessaries of life.
Mr. Teller declw d that the dutv on pine
was one of the many absolutely Indeleic ibh.*
features of this bill.
Senators Gray and Mantle supported Mr.
Teller's motion. Mr. Spooner oopos.-i it on
the ground that the dutv wa , fair or . -
lire of protection to an • ■xtensiv in', dry
of three border states. This wan not a
proposition to place all kinds of lumber,
those of Maine und the south and the west,
on thp free list, but merely to discriminate
fegalnst the white pine of other states

read from the statement of a lumh' rtnan
that a *2 rate would be prohibitoiy. and lie
appealed to democrati' ;-»cn itors to over-

Washington. D. c., July 1.—Mr. Settle (D)
of Kentucky, after the journal had been
r< ad rait'ed a question as to the truth of the
journal of last Monday's proceedings, by
offering a technical amendment to correct
the journal, i'pon this amendment he got
the floor and proceeded with an extended
s;u ecl; on thv general question of the power
of the house to adjourn over three days at
a time Which he declared was a direct
■ . > ation of I Iu < institution. He drifted
into a general arraign-mt nt of the 'repub-
licans for not taking action on the bank-
rupuy i ill and the Cuban belligerency bill.
"You have acted in utter defiance of pub-
lice sentiment," lie crlcd. "You askni for
lime. You predicted great things. Calhoun
went to Cuba; Calhoun returned from Cuba;
Calho;;n went home. Nothing was done,
('alhoun has been forgotten and so has
Cuba. Thtre i.-- indifference as to whether
a civil government or a state of war exists
in (Tiba."
Mr. Settle referred to the municipal elec-
tions at "Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus and
Canton" as ;c indication of public disap-
proval of the house's inaction and a fore-
runner of thai November day in t!«X» which
would prow the Armageddon and Waterloo
of (lit republican party. The speaker again
rapped him lo order and Mr. Dingley and
Mr. Bailey crossed swords over the question
as to whether Mr. Settle's remarks were in
order.
Mr. Dingley contended that the Kentucki-
aii's remarks were wide from the motion,
an,I Mr. Bs.iley that it was a.ways proper
to speak of public opinion.
"\\v have always had rie-pect for public
opinion," said he. • and we think it proper to
ia> it before you lor your instruction and
guidance." (i'emocratie applause.)
"But what is the eonmciion of Arma-
geddon and a motion to amend the journal?"
drolly asked Mr. Kcid.
Mr. Settle then assorted his side proposed
to hold up the hands of "the lion-hearted
democrat of Nebraska until his banner
was planted on the topmost heights of vic-
tory."
The minority demanded 'he yeas and navs
on M-r. Settles motion am! the roll was
called. The amendment was rejected—90 to
10iV-and the journal approved.
Mr. Knowies (P> of South Dakota then
rose to a question of personal privilege and
sent to the clerk's des-k and had read a dis-
patch dated Lewiston, Me., in which .Mr.
Bateman charged on the alleged authority
of Mr. Knowies that "the middle of the road
populists had accepted $lri00 from the pro-
ceeds of Mr. Bryan's book with the under-
standing that nothing should be done to
prevent fusion in Muu."
Mr. Knowies denounced Mr. Bateman's
statement as a willful falsehood.
At 1.30 p. m. the house adjourned until
Monday.

No Anti-Trust Hill to Be Reported.
\evv Tariff He venue.
Washington, D. C\, July 1.—The republi-
cans held what they decided should be
their last caucus on the tariff bill to-night.
The meeting continued more than three
hours and was productive of important re-
sults. which were not reached without a
display of considerable feeling.
Among the points decided were the fol-
lowing: To report no anti-trust amend-
ment, to withdraw the original linance
committee provisions for a duty on tea,
and an increase of 44 cents per barrel in
the tax on beer and to provide for a tax
on bond and stocks transactions.
The greater part of the time was given
to the proposition for a provision against
trusts. The discussion on this question was
opened on the basis of a report of the ju-
diciary committee in opposition to any ef-
fort to attach a trust provision to the
tariff bill. The committee had held a
meeting in the afternoon, it was then de-
cided that it would be extremely diflicult
to secure legislation that would be effec-
tive and on the whole it was impolitic and
unwise to undertake it. A report was made
accordingly to the caucus and a resolution
adopted authorizing the presentation of an
amendment providing in express terms for
the continuance in effect of the terms of
the Wilson law which make it unlawful
to form a itust in imported articles.
It appeared during the discussion that
the committee had been ntipnlied to-dav
with estimates of the revenue the bill would
produce by Mr. W orthingum < . Lorn, who
had given the opinion that with an equal
volume of imports the bill would produce
during the first year of its operation more
than $100,000,000 in excess of the returns
under the Wilson law for the first year It
was In existence. Senator Allison said,
however, that these figures were mislead-
ing. a.s the imports could not be expected
to be »o large. and advlwed his fellow
senators on ibis account not to accept
tin m as an indication of the possibilities
of the bill.

Washington, 1> ('., July 1.—'The interstate
commerce committee of the senate consid-
ered the antl-scalplng bill, but owing to the
absence of several members of the commit-
tee no vote was had. It Is probable that
owing to the near approach of adjournment
no further effort will be made to get the
bill reported. It Is also probable that there
will not be another meeting of ihe commit-
tee this session, and that the pooling bill
will also go over.

Berlin, July 1.—Count Posadowski-Weh-
ncr, the secretary of the imperial treasury,
has been gazetted as the successor of Dr.
von Boetticher, the vice president of the
council of ministers and secretary of state
for the interior, taking, however, only the
portfolio of minister of the interior. Dr. Mi-
quel, minister of finance, is gazetted vice
president of the council of ministers, in suc-
cession to Dr. von Boetticher. Herr Pod*

succeeding the late Dr. von Steplian.
(•ertniiu Cabinet Changes.
Berlin, July 1.—The German cabinet crisis
has made further progress. Dr. Buchen-
btirger, minister of finance in the grand
duchy of Baden, has declined the secretary-
ship of the imperial treasury, vacated by
Count Bosadowski-W ehner. probably fear-
ing ilie fate of Baron Marschall von Bieber-
sti in It is also expected that Freiherr
Badino, professor of Duesseldorf, will suc-
ceed Count Posailowski-Wehner.
Dr. Mio.uel wdll retain the Prussian port-
folio of finance, and as the senior member
of the cabinet will assume ihe office o^ vice
president of the Prussian ministry. This, it
is believed, conpletes the changes for the
present. The emperor being reluctant to
repeat ihe dramatic features that accom-
panied the removals of Prince Bismarck
and Count Caprivi, more gradual methods
are now employed.
Dr. Mlquel will have to wait for a new
crisis in order to get higher promotions, but
nobody expects that this Is far distant,
though for the moment matters have been
smoothed over.
Prince- Hohenlohe will start to-morrow for
a vacation of several weeks at Schillings-
fut'st and AuSse.
The Ministerial EJost. in a significant and
probably Inspired article, declares that with-
out doubt Brince Hohenlohe visited Prince
Bismarck with the emperor's sanction, and
that the visit therefore implies that the BLs-
marekian traditions are still to determine
the foreign policy of the empire and to lead
in the direction of keeping on friendly terms
with Russia.

Extract From an Interesting; Letter to
His llrotlic>r, l'riuee Jerome.
Paris, July 1.—M. lieiohle, curator of the
French archive, will issue during the pres-
ent week the first volume- of 300 letters
which were suppressed by the editors of
Napoleon's correspondence issued in 1809 as
not calculated to increase the glory of the
great French emperor.
The volume includes some heated family
letters and some vigorously worded epistles
to Fouche and Dubois, the ministers of po-
lice and war respectively. A letter to Mar-
shall Soult in 1804 shows that Napoleon el id
not hesitate In adopting any means of ob-
taining confessions. He orders Soult lo ar-
ia st a. fisherman suspected of communicat-
ing with the British, adding: "If he re-
fuses to speak you must squeeze his
thumbs in a musket locdt." This was a
method adopted to extract confessions in
the cases of persons suspected of espionage.
Napoleon's list of persons to be arrested
was endless and his abuse of Mine. De
Stael was unceasing.
When Napoleon received the news June
11, hSuy. that the pope had excommunicated
him, he wrote:
"I spare the pope no longer. He Is a rav-
ing madman and must be locked up."
Some letters to his brother, Prince Jerome,
are Interesting. When Jerome was outwit-
ted by the Austrian general, Kienmanier,
he still boasted of Ills strategic plans In an
inflated order of the day. This caused Na-
poleon to write as follows:
"I have seen your order of the day. which
makes you the laughing stock of Austria,
Germany and France. Have you not a
friend about to tell you plain truth. In the
time of war you must be a soldier, and
nothing but a soldier. You must camp with
ihe vanguard by day and night on horse-
back and march in the van to pick up
news or remain in one's harum.
"Von make war like a petty autocrat. Is
it from me, good God, that you learned
that? From 1, who, with an army of 200.000
men, kept at the head of my skirmishers?"
"The people are provoked with you. Kien-
manier. with 12,Ooi men, has laughed at you
and your ridiculous pretensions. You have
a lot of pretensions, some little mind and u
few good qualities, but these are marred by
your fatuity and your extreme presump-
tion. You have some knowledge of the fit-
ness of things. Leave off being ridiculous.
Send your diplomatic corps back to Cassel-
la. have no baggage, and wage war like a
young soldier wishing to earn glory and
reputation. Try to deserve the rank you
have reached and the esteem of France and
lOurope, who are watching you, ami by
God, so write and speak in a seemly man-
ner if you can."

ing i^ueen \ ietorla was the princess of

Charles of Denmark, all the colonial pre-
mier.; and a brilliant throng of spectators.
The march past was by squadrons, bat-
teries and double companies. The firing of
a royal salute closed the ceremony
The colonial troops lined the route fol-
lowed by the queen after leaving the salut-
ing point. Ihe heat was intense and the
crowd present was enormous. The queen
was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm.

extreme a measure as to go to war with so
small a country, being ashamed to do so.
It is ibis that causes Hawaii to show such

grounds comfort was easily attainable for,
with a stiff breeze blowing, the Immense
buildings were cool and delightful. To-
night large numbers took advantage of
this and spent the evening there, thus
freeing themselves for some hours from
the concentrated heat In the city.
The delegates to ihe Pan-American con-
gress were out In force and were the guests
of the exposition management at luncheon
and ut dinner. Notwithstanding the heat,
they thoroughly examined all the promi-
nent buildings and exhibits. The delegates
to the Phi Gamma Delia convention, ac-
companied by friends, also spent a portion
of Ihe afternoon at the exposition and at-
tended the afternoon concert, in the Audi-
torium, several numbers on the programme
having been prepared for their especial
benefit.
The Fourth of July programme was defi-
nitely decided upon to-day. All the ex-
ercises and the immense parade will be
held at the exposition grounds, it not being
deemed advisable to parade the streets of
the city during the hot spoil.
All the Vanity Fair attractions, civic and
military bodies of the city will be in at-
tendance and during the afternoon there
will be an extended programme of 'athletic
exercises. The celebration of the Fourth
will be closed by a monster fireworks die-
play at night.
To-morrow Is Phi Ga«#ma Delta day, and
there will be exerciser"In the Auditorium
and many social functions.
PAN-AM ERI CANS.
Those members of the Pan-American
commercial party who were hardy enough
to brave the Intense heat spent to-day at
the exposition grounds. There was no for-
mal programme, and the visitors roamed
at will about the buildings, occasionally
varying their examination of industrial ex-
hibits by a peep at the "midway" and its
amusements.
In spite of the popular misapprehension
that the men from South America are in-
ured to most extreme heat, most of them
came from elevated spots, where the tem-
peratures rarely get beyond the eighties,
and they are suffering from the present
fever weather.
Luncheon was served at the club house
on the exposition grounds and the party
again separated, reassembling In the even-
ing at the Tulane hotel, where a farewell
dinner was served before their departure
at lu o'clock for St. Louis. There were
many enthusiastic speeches, with grateful
responses by members of the delegation.
President Harris of the chamber of com-
merce replied to the toast. "Our Guests
From Over the Line." After praising the
Philadelphia museum for having brought
together the repreie«tatlv®i of tin* two
Americas and Mexico, he welcomed them
to the sunny south.
Delegate Henry S. Price of Colombia re-
plied. He thanked Nashville for its hos-
pitality and for the opportunity to view
the splendid exposition.
G. H. Ulchter of British Guiana, as a
representative from the only English-speak-
ing colony of South America, suggested
that, "having the men, the money and
the machines, they should march to new
markets in South America."
Other address s were made by Dr. Wil-
liam P. Wilson, director of the Philadelphia
museum, who spoke briefly on the Interna-
tional character of the Institution, and
Hew P. A. Rodriguez, who made a speech
of farewell to the delegates.

\Vraco, Tex., July 1.— At the opening of
the second day of the Texas state teachers'
association greetings from the Arkansas
state teachers' association were received
and a vote adopted instructing the secre-
tary to return the greetings in a report of
fraternal cordiality.
Superintendent Brumlette of the Fort
Worth schools invited the association to
meet next year there, speaking for the ed-
ucators, the city government and the peo-
ple of Fort. Worth. »-
State Superintendent Carlisle addressed
the association on "Rural School Organiza-
tions." He spoke of the tendency among
teachers to tire of the theme, but declared
no more important subject could be con-
sidered since three-fourths of the youth of
Texas get all of their education from these
schools. In his discussion two points were
presented—supervision and support. Con-
tinuing, he spoke on the division of terri-
tory wherever it would weaken the super-
vision. though perchance under certain cir-
cumstances advance the financial side for
the few. The township plan of some west-
ern states, making the township the unit
of operations, wdien considered by a com-
mittee of the national association had been
found effective and the county plan ad-
vised as the proper unit. The division into
districts, which is no!, done on political
lines, but left to the discretion of commis-
sioners' courts, is often lax and not liked
by the people Also the smallnes of some
districts requires combination to create
proper supervision. t
DR. BALDWIN,
President State Teachers' Association.
A report from Richmond county. (5a., of
which Augusta is the county seat, was read,
showing the plan of combining city and
county supervision which has been prac-
ticed there for a score of years successfully.
This plan w-.s lauded and offered as a mod-
el. In it all schools are equal, salaries are
the same for similar positions and ad-
vantages are not reserved for certain com-
munities. As to taxation, the property of
the state is held as responsible for the edu-
cation of the children, it should grant to
every child equal opportunities, even if the
average scholastic year should be lowered
four months: it would be right and just
that It bo so rather than one part have but
two and another ten. Should the supervis-
ion be over districts of justices of the peae'-e,
county commissioners or counties? The
smaller divisions, even when conciliating,
generally, not being integral, the county
was declared the better unit of effort and
by the state law allowing It every county
having 2000 names on the scholastic roll
should he compelled to adopt the superin-
tendent system. Because of the number of
schools weakening the state system elimina-
tion was advised in which every school
should have a territory of six miles square
If there be not over fifty pupils in that part.
The finances for the support of the schools.
If necessary, should be raised by special
taxation and for this distribution the Cali-
fornia plan was proposed. In it every school
having over twenty pupils is allowed at
least jfiOO per annum, and if less than twenty
$100. The startling statement was made that
in Texas the average salary of country
teachers is less than $250, which makes ft
necessary for some to be even less than
8200, while by the California plan none can
be less than $400.
Dr. Burleson invited all visitors to visit
the buildings belonging to Baylor univer-
sity. The summer session gave a holiday
In order that its pupils might attend the
convention.
Prof. H. B. Hastings of Comfort read a
paper on "rural school architecture," In
which he showed the laxity existing along
this line. Several sketches of plans for
school buildings and equipments were
shown by way of illustrating his ideas.
Superintendent VV. S. Sutton of Houston,
in his pleasing style, spoke at length on
the "Rural School Problem." showing the
Inefficiency of the present system. He
recommended a revolution and revision of
methods. His thoughts were clear and
scholarly, calling forth warm applause.

colored educators, startled some of them

acquisition of property. He declared that
the negro has Improved more rapidly in
the south during one generation of free-
dom than any other race Just emerged
from bondage, and that the south furnishes
the negro to-day more opportunities for
improving his condition than any other
country on the globe. If the negro wi'.l

spected factor in promoting good govern-
ment by voting for good men regardless of
party. Prof. Winston declared himself in
