"WASHINGTON-, May 27.—The first vote on tho tariff bill was taken in the .senate yesterday. It came after two hours debate on the item of boracic acid which, although comparatively unimportant, afforded an opportunity for the first alignment of tho various elements. Mr. Vest (Mo.), a Democratic member of the finance committee, moved to make the rate on boracic acid 3 cents instead of 5 cents per pound as provided by tho committee. This presented a. direct issue between the committee and the opponents of the bill. The amendment was defeated, yeas 20, nays !M. The. vote •was largely on party lines. The aflivmative was made up of 1!' Democrats and 1 Populist, Ileitfeld The negative was made up of 2!) Republicans, 2 Democrats, MeEnery (La.) and White (Cal.), 2 silver Republicans, Cannon (Utah) and .Tones (Nev.) and 1 Populist, Stewart (Nr.v.).
Mr. White, a Democratic member of the finance committee, opposed Mr. Vest's amendment, urging that the California industry required the rate allowed by the committee. Seven paragraphs of the bill were considered durtlie day, the committee being sustained in each instance.
A resolution was agreed to authorizing the secretary of the navy to employ any suitable ship in forwarding relief supplies to India/
TOBACCO MANTl ACT! KICKS.

WASHINGTON, May 2~.— Representatives of practically all the tobacco manufacturers in the United States with the exception of the cigar manufacturers I met here yesterday to protest against the proposed advance of 2 cents a pound in the tax on tobacco contemplated in tho senate amendments to the tariff bill. There were present and represented about 1"0 manufacturers. The total tobacco output, exclusive of cigars, of the United States is about 300,000,000 pounds annually and of this amount over 2-50,000,1)00 pounds were represented. Resolutions were unanimously adopted which briefly cite the injurv inflicted upon the trade by the frequent, changes of the tax rate and protest against the adoption of the senate amendment.
J.ee Heard i-'rnm.
WASHINGTON, May 27.—Consul General Lee cabled the state department yesterday from Havana that the amount of supplies he has now on hand there for the relief of American citizens in distress is abundant and will last for some time. Presumably this statement applies generally to all the consulates, for the consul general has been in consultation with his subordinate consul on this very matter, by direction of the secretary of state. At any rate the department will now pause before moving further in the direction of distribution of relief.

J'"
llK.MKTKllJS U.M.I.I.
and had Di Felice put on board an Italian ironclad lying off the Picreus, with a request that he be not allowed to again set foot on Greek soil.
When Signor Di Felice was Doing conducted under arrest, to the Pieraeus to be placed on board the Italian warship Sardegna, a number of the Garibaldians attempted to rescue him, and a free fight ensued, in which a soldier and a civilian were severely wounded.
It is believed that complications have have arisen owing to the advocacy by some of the powers, including Russia, of a Turkish occupation of Tliessaly until the indemnity is paid, and to England's firm resistance to such a project. The Greek government is preparing for a possible renewal of the war. ........

Report on Hie Condition of the Foreign Mission Board's Funds Amount Paid to the Several Missions Publications and Snhlintiischpol Work Next Placo of Meeting.
EAGLE LAKE. Ind., May 27.—The regular order in the Presbyterian general assembly yesterday was tho report on foreign missions. The report showed tho receipts from churches were 8270,--179 women's boards, §29!), 115 Sabbathschools and young people's societies, §54,049 legacies, §89,7 J0 miscellaneous, §95,549. Unused appropriations and tho sale ot properties increased the assets by §(i(), 129. The total expenditures were §9:i(i,0( i, of which §57,021 was for administration and printing. Tho total debt amounted to §11»,239, which was reduced by receipts from the anniversary reunion fund to a net debt of §97,454,
The largest appropriations were made for China. §174,0»7: India, §107.373 Japan, §7s,i-l5 South America, $80,080 Syria, §59,0115 Siam and Laos, §71,114 Persia, §73,193 Africa, §41.385. The board has securities of §257.588. the interest of which is available. It also owns securities of mti02, upon which it has not yet realized, and special funds aggregating §3(i(,8(!!i, of "which §135,455 belongs to the permanent fund. Tho Presbyterian building in New York stood the board in §929,885, of which §54,740 belonged to the interest account, and §1-1,203 represented taxes. Loans on the building aggregated. §010,000, and §17,054 had been received from rentals. The gifts made toward the building amounted to §270,893. The selection of Charles W. Hand of Brooklyn as treasurer was announced.
Dr. Chapman, who made the report, entered into a lengthy explanation of the details, after which a number of 5-minute talks on the subject were had.
The after.ioon session was devoted to the work of the board of publication and Sabbath school work.
The standing committee on this subject reported through Chairman Elder James Yereanee of New York, reviewing the woi\«. of the year. Recommendations were made calling for contributions of §200.000 during the next year for the use of the Sundavschool branch oil the board, and urging churches to adopt the new hymnal which is now in use in over 400 churches and whose sales aggregate 101),000 copies. The board was directed to prepare a Sunday school exercises. Sabbath observance to be used on rallying day, the last Sundry of September in each year. Pendir.* the adoption of the recommendations the assembly was addressed by Elijah R. Craven, secretary of the board and by Colored Commissioner Rev. Charles S. Mebane of Arkansas.
The remainder of the afternoon wes devoted to the report of the special committee on temporalities of tne church, whieh was read by Rev. John Fox of Baooklyn. The report recommended that the control of church property be committed to the boards of session and deacons of each organization so far as tho same was consistent with the laws of the several states. The assembly has finished most of its sensational work and has settled down to business. The desire to reach the end was seen in an unwillingness to endure long debate, even upon important matters.
Calls for invitations for the next general assembly have already been made. Winona assembly is in the field asking the body to return, but the probability is that the majority of the commissioners will favor Philadelphia. Winona's chief argument is that tho location is so favorable that it saves about §0.000 in mileage alone. The plea of of Philadelphia is that the new Witherspoon building of the board of publication will have been finished and the assembly should visit the Quaker citj- to inspect its property. The selection will not bo reached for a couple of days.

[ROADS' MEAN ADVANCEMENT.i
Ease of Communication Marks tho Progress of Civilization. "She movement in behalf of good roads if. this and other states and tho obsta-5 cles it is called upon to overcome aro strongly suggestive of the readiness with which we are apt to accept tho greatest facilities in communication as matter of course—if indeed we do not quickly come to regard their usefulness: with indifference, says the New York Mail and Express. Too many men aro controlled by a single idea. They abandon interest in highways because they have canals, or they abandon interest in canals because of railway development, and some day they will vote railways a nuisance because of a perfected flying machine. They fail to appreciate tho value of maintaining the best in any and every form of human communication that is worth maintaining at all.
Upon the perfection of every means of communication and transportation rests our progress toward higher civilization and social development. As barbarism is invariably characterized by lack of adequate facilities for travel and commercial intercourse, so tho highest civilization is marked by tho greatest advancement in every phase of these. When tho Roman empire was at the height of its grandeur, it was distinguished for its roads, which all led to Rome.
In strong contrast with this early civilization was tho comparative barbarism of the middle ages, when tho feudal barons perched their castles upon inaccessible heights, when roads and bridges we.ro almost unknown, when wheeled vehicles were generally tabooed, when social and mental progress were stagnant and all commerce and reciprocal activity were halted. To the friction of ready intercourse all progress is duo. As steam and electricity make a neighborhood of a nation, so improved highways —the first evidences of civilization, because the earliest demonstration of man's desire for easy intercourse with his neighbor—will ever remain the test of progress in the separate communities that go to make up the state.
A generation hence the town or county which has not the most improved highways known to science will be the town or count}* where the moral and mental standard is lowest. The sign will bo unerring. ^r'
HIGHWAYS TO WEALTH.
Farmers Prosperous In Communities Having Good lloails. Good roads are the highways to wealth. If I could tako you with mo north, south, east and west, to where the beginnings of road improvement have been made, I could show you small farming communities growing rich in these hard times, contented and happy, and troubling themselves not at all with the great problems of finance which agitate tlieir brethren. They have no time to waste in talk, if their fields are too wet to work, they go on the road. Their marketing is done in tjad weather, and in rainy spells they bring from a distance cheap fertilizers to enrich their farms, such «s marl, city refuse, etc. Philadelphia refuse is carried 20 miles on the stone roads.
In these fortunate communities every day brings its earnings to man and beast, for there is always paying work on a good road, and if a man has no hauling of his own to do ho can get work from others, and good wa es. Extend these conditions and imagine, if you can, the prosperity that would burst upon tho country if every farmer and every farm team could earn a fair day'« wages for every day in the year, rain or shine if every farm could be cultivated and improved to its utmost extent.—Address by General Roy Stone.
FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS.
Tlio alue of Farm Laud Is Determined by Its Acccssibilitv. The farmers would be more benefited by good roads than any other class. Tho value.of a farm is determined by its accessibility. The land that is favored with best transportation facilities, whether by rail or river, will bring tho best price per aero when put upon the market. There is no doubt that ono milo of good macadamized road is more valuable in this country than five miles of plow and scraper road that goes to pieces in ono year.
The turning over of soil is labor in vain, and we do not ct nsuro the farmer when ordered to work on tho roads when ho either takes a pitchfork or a boo or, if ho is rheumatic, a mattress. Ono mile of good road.? made each year would bo more bcnelicial than all the work done in a township. In tho near future, there will be some device found that will enable our farmers to make good roads at a small cost.—Jamestown* (Pa.) World.
California*# Wide Tire Law. California's new tiro law requires1 that tires should be from three to six inches wide, according to size of axlo or carrying capacity. Wagons with smaller tires may not bo sold or used within tho state after Jan. 1, 1900. Narrow tires aro the most destructive influences that aro at. work upon tho roads. A broad tire, made in proportion to tho load to bo carried, may leave a road better for its passage, where a narrow tiro cuts it into ruts. It would have been a further improvement liail tho legislature ordered that the hind wheelsshould run insido the track of the front wheels of tho wagon. Where wheels trail each other in tho same track the tendency to cut ruts is much greater. If the wheels were set in different lengths of axle, six inch tires would give the effect of a one foot roller on each sido of the wagon.
