fmh provisions are not repealed by this bill. Such ah amendment h*d been prepared by Mr. Pettus. of Alabama, and Mr. Hoar said he expected to vote for It when it came up. Mr. Hoar said that while the question of trusts could be dealt with to some extent by striking: at their imports, as in the law of 1894. yet he feared that the most serious phases of the evil must be dealt with by the States. He showed the technical legal meaning of the word “trust" and showed the difficulties in making the Sugar Trust and Standard Oil Trust amenable to federal law. He regarded these monopolies as a meance to the Republic, and was hopeful that some means might be found to check them, yet he could not pay how they could be hit. The State could limit their amount of capital, which would be one effeetivo means of dealing with them. Mr. Lindsay said that in the case of a confessed monopoly, such as the Sugar Trust, one effective means of dealing with it would be to extend It no further benefits from tariff legislator When the point was reached in a tariff bll where sugar was to be dealt with, then it should be so shaped as not to be in the interest of the trust. THE TRUST TO BE FEARED MOST. Mr. Hoar replied that the answer to this was that the policy seemed to be established that revenue was to be raised on refined sugar, and it was further desired that the business of refining sugar shall be done in this country rather than abroad. A great foreign government was about the biggest trust that could menace the trade of the United States, Mr. Hoar asserted. He hoped that some effective remedy would be round instead of going on the theory" that because a jackal or fox preys on our commerce it ehould be given over to a foreign wolf or lion. Mr. Uafferv argued that the Sugar Trust was within the operation of the anti-trust law, and he felt that it was time the attention of the attorney general and the Unted States district attorneys was called to the frequent and flagrant violations of the law by the Sugar Trust. The senator declared that the Sugar 'Trust was the most arrogant and iniquitous trust in the world. Mr. Allen, resuming, declared that the country was "rotten with trusts," every article we eat and wear and use being controlled by trusts, while Congress, the judiciary and the executive authorities are imtent and powerless to act according to those who argued that the federal laws cannot the trusts. He maintained that the laws aro sufficient if energetically enforced, but that' the authorities have not executed them with zeal. The vote was then taken on the hide paragraph, as amended by the committee, and it was agreed to—39 to 20. One Democrat. Rawlins, of Utah, and Messrs. Allen, Butler. Heitfeld. Jones of Nevada, Stewart, Mantle and Teller voted with the Republicans in the affirmative. The rest of the vote was on party lines. The committee presented a substitute for Paragraph 427 (band or belting leather, etc.), the text of which is given >n the report. elsewhere, of th & ac-tiop af the committee. It was agreed to—3o to 19. The glove paragraphs were taken up and agreed to without change from Paragraph 42S to 134. The substitute previously agreed to by the committee for Paragraph 434 was offered by Mr. Allison and agreed to; also Paragraph 435, This completed the leather and and gloves paragraphs. Mr. Allison proposed a substitute for Paragraph 215, relating to cattle, as follows: "Less than a yeac old. $2 a head; on all other cattle, if valued at not more than |l4, $3.50 a head; valued at more than sl4 and not more than $25, 25 per cent, ad valorem; valued at more than $25, 30 percent. The substitute was agreed to. The bill was laid aside at 5 o’clock and after an executive session the Senate adjourned.

CHANGES IN SCHEDULES. Action of the Senate Finance Committee on Leather, Etc. WASHINGTON, June 28.—The Senate committee on finance to-day settled several vexed questions in connection with the tariff, including lead ore and iron ore. The decision is to leave the rate of 1% cents on lead ore, as fixed by the finance committee, and also to leave iron ore as originally determined by the committee and passed by the House. The tea paragraph was again passed over for future consideration. The committee decided to advance the rate on pig lead to 2)4 cents per pound. This is an Increase of !4 of a cent over the House rate, which the committee did not originally disturb, and was made as compensation for the increase on lead ore. The mica paragraph (IS2) was rewritten entirely, and as it will be presented fixes a rate of 4 cents per pound and 20 per cent, ad valorem on the manufactured article and of S cents per pound and 20 per cent, ad valorem on manufactured mica. Thorite was added to the dutiable list (paragraph 181) at 20 per cent. yd valorem. The rates on pineapples were increased in packages from 6 to 7 cents per cubic foot, in bulk from $6 to $7 per thousand. The rate on plain bastic photographic papers for albumenizing, etc., (Paragraph 394), was increased from 2 to 3 cents per pound and from 10 tp 20 per cent, ad valorem. The committee ended a long dispute by deciding to take naphthazarin black and all fast black coal tar dyes from the free list, adding them to Paragraph 14. which imposes a duty of 25 per cent. It is estimated that this change will add several hundred thousand dollars of revenue. A similar gain is expected to he derived from striking coal tar (306) from the free list and makiqg it dutiable at 10 per cent. Fashion plates were also stricken from the free list, as was manganese ore. A substitute was written for the leather paragraph (427) making many changes. The wording of the new paragraph is as follows: “Band or bolting leather, sole leather, calf skins, tanned and dressed, kangaroo, sheep and goat skins (including lambs and Kid skins), dressed and finished, chamois and other skins and book binders’ calf skins, all the foregoing not specially provided for in this act, 20 per cent, ad valorem; skins for morocco, tanned, but unfinished, 10 per cent, ad valorem; skins of sheep origin, dressed with the gmin on, $1.50 per dozen skins; skin of goat origin, dressed with the grain on, $2 per dozen; skins dressed as sued, or with the exterior grain svirface removed, whether known as irtoehu or otherwise, $2.50 per dozen skins; patent, japanned, varnished or enameled leather, weighing not over ten pounds per dozen skins, 30 cents per pound anti 20 per cent, ad valorem; if weighing over 10 pounds and not over twenty-five pounds per dozen, 30 cents jxw pound and 10 per u nt. ati valorem; if weighing over twentyfive pounds per dozen. 20 cents per pound and 10 per cent, ad valorem; piano-forte ieather and piano-forte action leather 35 per cent, ad valorem; leather shoe laces, finished or unfinished, 50 cents per gross and 20 per cent, ad valorem; hoots and shoes made of leather, 20 per cent ad valorem; provided, that leather cut into shoe uppers or vamps or other forms suitable for conversion into manufactured articles shall be classified as manufactures of leather'and pay duty accordingly.” A substitute was also written for Paragraph 434 (gloves), as follows: “In addition to the foregoing rates there shall be paid on leather gloves, when lined. $1 per dozen pairs; on all pique or prixzam gloves. 25 cents mr dozen pairs; on all gloves stitched or embroidered with more than three single strands or cords. 25 cents per dozen pairs. On all leather gloves with wrist openings, imported without fastenings or parts thereof of any kind, there shall be a reduction of 25 cents per dozen pairs from the rates in the preceding paragraph.” There was large gathering of Republican senators at the meeting of the Senate finance committee at the Arlington Hotel to-night. Most of the time was spent in disclosing the rates to be imposed on coni and the proposition to fix them so that a reciprocal arrangement may be arrived at with the Dominion of Canada. No formal conclusion was arrived at, the committee deferring final action until the meeting tomorrow Strong arguments were advanced by some of those present in favor of the rate of 40 cents per ton on coal, the statement being made that the Western coal indds could find a market in Canada for an additional million tons per year, this statement being based on reports that the new Liberal Ministry of the Dominion would reduce the .duty on imports of American coal to a similar amount and enter into reciprocity arrangements with the United otates. After the meeting one member of th- committee advanced the opinion that the rate to be finally fixed would be <S7K cents per ton. but that there would be no provision for a reciprocal agreement. The paragraph relating to plaster rock, or frypsum, was also discussed. This product s now on the free list, but Western senators are striving for a duty of $1 per ton it went over without action. The general subject of reciprocity also came up for duoussion by tne Republican members of 'he committee after the visitors had departed. Anti-Trust Amendment. WASHINGTON, June 28.~The Republican members of the Senate committee on judiciary will meet to-morrow to consider the various forma presented for an antitrust amendment to the tariff bill. There are a dozen anti-trust amendments in print V R y. others have been suggested. Tne judiciary committee is striving to secure a

form that will be acceptable to all Republican senators and that will also stand the test of the courts. Heavy Customs Receipt*. NEW YORK, June 28.—Another rush to enter foreign goods before the tariff bill becomes a law began at the custom house to-day. The receipts were $895,000, and of this $132,000 was on account of sugar duties. Reports from Washington that the new bill would be enacted shortly gave to the movement additional force. Rush of Canadian Wool. HAMILTON, Ont„ Juno 28.—W00l dealers In this city are exporting large quantities of wool into the United States to avoid the convng duty. During the past two weeks the exports have been 500,000 pounds, princpally to Philadelphia and Boston. The oxports’ from Toronto are also very large. House Preparing; for Action. WASHINGTON, June 28.—1n anticipation of the passage of the tariff bill by the Senate this week, Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, chairman of the Republican caucus of the House, has issued a request to all Republican members of the House to be in their seats next Monday, July 5. SEEMS TO BE HIT HARD SPEECH OF A LATIN-A MERIC AN WHO DOESN’T LIKE OUR TARIFF. He Intimates the Argentine Republic Will Retnllute Ilecnuse of the Duty on Wool and Hides. * CINCINNATI, June 28.—The most significant feature of the tour of the PanAmerican commercial men thus far was the expression on the tariff question made by one of the foreigners to-day. The speaker was Carlos Lix Klett, of the Argentine Republic, editor of the most prominent newspaper in his country, and a specialist in wool, hides and skins. The place where he voiced his views was t“he Chamber of Commerce. What he said follows in part: "The United States have never had a better opjfortunity to extend their commercial relations than this one offered by the Philadelphia museums, in assembling noted business men of Latin-America, as my colleagues are. I am perfectly sure that all of the delegates are inspired with the best wishes in regard to closer relations with the United States, and I should feel very glad if the Argentine Republic should find herself in the same position, but, unfortunately, our visit to the United States and our good will are put aside by the tariff bill that is now passing in your Congress, and whose result will render difficult the realization of closer commercial relations with Latin America. The imports from the United States to the Argentine Republic in ISJ6 amounted to $11,214,475. The exports from the Argentine Republic to the United States amounted to $5,401,362. These official figures show the difference in the commercial balance between your country and mine of $5,000,000 against the Argentine Republic. The two principal products that we export to the United States are wool and hides; W'e have over one hundred million sheep, which produce every year about two hundred and fifty million kilos of wool, and this article has always been imported into the United States free of duty, the same as we import free of duty your machinery and your petroleum. But now the new tariff bill has imposed a prohibitive tax on our wool. We have been exporting to your country our hides during the past twenty-five years free of duty, but now you have taxed them with lVs cent per pound, and you may consider how much the duty will affect our trade when you think we have over twentytwo millions of oxen. We have been treated in an unfriendly manner, and at the same time you submit to us the idea of a reciprocity treaty. I am very sorry to say that under these circumstances the statesmen of the Argentine Republic will not accept any kind of treaties, not only for certain reasons that you can easily understand, but because our productions are exported free of duty to England, France, Belgium and Italy, and we receive from Europe all the goods we require, all the capital that we need to populate our commercial development, and all the immigration necessary to populate our extended territory. As we find qo compensation, nor any reason, to tie ourselves to the United States under the present circumstances, we think that, taking into consideration the protectionist doctrine of this country, we have nothing to do but to use the same principle in our own defense, and impose prohibitive duties on all the American goods that may be imported into the Argentine Republic. We i egret very much to take such action, but we will be compelled to do so, and it is convenient to note that Europe is trying by all means to hold the Latin-American markets, and is sending people to all of the republics to study the resources, the commerce and the financial state of each. I think I am right when I call your attention to the opportunity that is afforded to you to control the markets of Latin America, which offers a most extensive field for the consumption of your manufactured products.”

TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. Special trains crowded with Endeavorers left Philadelphia, New York, Boston and other Eastern cities yesterday for San Francisco. Requisition papers were yesterday forwarded from New York to Chicago for the arrest of Edward J.- Ratcliffe, the actor, indicted for assaulting his wife.

The former gives employment to over nine, hundred hands, while 200 will be given work at the sheet mills. The Massachusetts cotton mills at Rowell were closed yesterday and will not be reopened until July 12. The mills employ 1.900 hands. The shutdown was decided upon because of the low price at which goods are selling and the poor demand. The striking employes of the Eleanor iron works, of Hollidaysburg. Pa., held a meeting Sunday night and decided to resume work. The men had been receiving $3 per ton for puddling and the company sought reduction to $2.50.

FIELD AGAINST HOUGH WARM CONTEST FOR DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR. Many Stories Circulated by Ohio Silverite* Against the Lending; Candidate—Tlic McLean Slate. * COLUMBUS, 0., June 28.—The candidates and delegates are here in force to-day for the Democratic State convention, which meets to-morrow and Wednesday. The delegates meet by congressional districts tomorrow afternoon, the committees to-mor-rcw r night, while tjie convention proper does not assemble till Wednesday morning. In addition to a full State ticket, members of the Legislature are elected this year. There have been several aspirants for the Senate, but John R. McLean, of Cincinnati, has secured such a large majority of delegates to the State convention that there is no more opposition to him here than there was to Senator Hanna at the Republican State convention in Toledo last week. Nominations will be made for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, supreme judge, attorney general, state treasurer, school commissioner and member of the Board of Public Works. Among the candidates for Governor are Robert T. Hough, Paul J. Sorg, John C. Welty, D. D. Donovan. R. A. Smalley, J. M. Van Meter, S. M. Hunter, A. W. Patrick, Horace L. Chapman, A. W. Thurman, John J. Lentz, C. P. Noble, John W. Winneke, B. Finley, F. C. Layton, F. M. Marriott, John G. Reeves, Frank Southard. The field has concentrated against Hough as the favorite for Governor, and will fight him to a decisive ballot. There were many reports circulated against him to-night. The Press-Post, the central Democratic organ, in an editorial to-night, questioned his orthodoxy on the silver question, and the Dispatch, an independent paper, produced articles from the Hillsboro Gazette in which Judge Hough is interested, and of which his brother is editor, to show that Hough was not an original silver man. Numerous statements have been published about Hough wearing- a Carlisle badge during the conte'st between Blackburn and Hunter for senator in Kentucky, and previous to the Chicago convention. Ex-Con-gressman S. S. Yorder published a statement of Plough being an original Bryan man at Chicago and wanting a free-silver plank in the State platform three years ago, when Senator Brice controlled the Democratic §tate convention, so as to adopt resolutions in accord with President Cleveland's financial policy. With the bitter fight made on Hough to-day there has been considerable rise in the boom of the other candidates, notably of John C. Welty and of Horace L. Chapman, both of whom are also friendly to McLean for senator. While the fighting for the head of the State ticket is very animated, there is no visible opposition to McLean. Even the gold Democrats who are In attendance at the convention favor him for senator, notably Lawrence T. Neal, who was McKinley’s opponent for Governor; ex-Mayor Farley, who heads the delegation from Cleveland, and several leaders from Cincinnati and other cities who are not silver men. Ex-Governor Campbell, who is here managing the canvass of ex-Congressman Paul J. Sorg for Governor, is not unfriendly to McLean. Ex-Congressman Beriah Wilkins, publisher of the Washington Post, who was McLean’s manager at Chicago for the presidential nomination, s here in the interest 3f McLean as well as for Judge A. W. Patrick for Governor. Congressman J. A. Norton, who is favoring Judge Smalley for Governor, is for McLean for senator. While many of the leaders are opposing what is being termed McLean's slate for the State ticket, with Hough at the head of the list, none of them oppose McLean for senator. All efforts to-day to get McLean to attend the convention failed. ExSenalor Brice will not be here. His private secretary, George Gillilan, and other friends are here as interested spectators. There was recently organized a State league of silver Republicans in opposition to what are known as the Palmer-Buckner Democrats. This organization has its representatives here tiemanding that the nomination for Lieutenant Governor be given to a silver Republican, but it is not likely that the second place on the State ticket will go to any Republicans who may have voted for Bryan and Sewall. There is some opposition to Daniel McConnville as chairman of the State executive committee, but it is understood that McConnville perfected the organization for McLean .which secured such a large majority of the delegates to the State convention and that he will be retained as the manager of the campaign.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT. VV. H. Copp Attempts to Kill Four People and 'Wounds Three. CHICAGO, June 28.—William H. Copp, foreman of the glazing department of the Pullman Company, armed himself this afternoon with a revolver and a razor and went to the home of his wife’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. .Andrew C. Rankin, with the intention of murdering them and his wife and his wife’s sister, who were living with them. He locked the front door of the house), and then, entering by the rear door, he locked that also. He first attacked Dr. Rankin, who is seventy years of age, and has recently recovered from a severe illness. He fired one shot at him and missed. The other cartridge refused to explode. Dr. Rankin at once grapled with Copp, who beat him fearfully over the head with the but end of his revolver. After a savage struggle the men fell to the lioor, Copp uppermost. He slashed the old physician across the throat with his razor, and the hands of both men were nearly cut to pieces as they fought for the weapon. Feeling his strength going, Dr. Rankin struggled to the mantlepiece, where his own pistol lay, and shot Copp through the side, the ball glancing from a rib. During the fight between the men Mrs. Rankin was struck on the head and severely cut, and her daughter, Mrs. Hermes. w>as pounded about the face and one of her eyes destroyed. Mrs. Hermes finally managed to reach the street and call for help. The members of a fire engine company, headed by P'red Rankin, a brother-in-law of Copp, broke in the front windows and overpowered the would-be murderer, who was just preparing to attack Dr. Rankin a second time. The latter, although bleeding from a frightful gash across his throat, was standing in front of his wife, his revolver in hand, waiting for the attack. In Copp’s pocket after his arrest was found a note saying that he Intended to murder Dr. Rankin, Mrs. Rankin, Mrs. Hermes, Mrs. Copp and then kill himself. Pie claimed his wife's relatives had made trouble between him and his wife. The latter was not at home when Copp appeared. It is expected that Dr. Rankin will die. HANGEDJTO A TREE. Xegro Wlio Won Charged with Robbing u White Woman Lynched. ABERDEEN, Miss., June 28.—A negro named Harry Gilliam was forcibly taken from the Monroe county jail late last night, carried five miles from town and hung to a tree in the middle of the big road, where his body .vas found early this morning. He was the negro charged with having robbed a white woman at Okolona Saturday afternoon while attempting a criminal assault upon her. He was recognized by her out of a party of half a dozen suspects. The court and officers at Okolona, fearing a lynching, removed the negro to Monroe county jail at Aberdeen Saturday evening. On Sunday night at 12 o’clock Jailer Bretzil was overpowered and the prisoner forcibly taken from him by a body of masked men unknown to him, with the sequel as above stated. Bomb Thrown at u Jail. FRANKFORT, Ky., June 2S.—George Dinning, a negro who killed Jodie Conn, a young farmer last January, and who was brought here to-day for trial with a guard of two militia companies from Louisville, seems to be in great danger of summary vengeance. P’rom a squad of three men late to-night a dynamite bomb was hurled at the jail. It exploded without doing great damage. Lieutenant F- 1.. Gordon, of the Frankfort militia, fired his revolver at the squad and thinks he hit one of them. The militia are searching the town for the bomb thrower. Alleged Highbinders Released. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 28,-The leaders of the See Yup Society are jubilant

% over the news received from China announcing the release of their seventeen relatives, who were imprisoned some months ago on account of the difference between the See Tup and Sam Yup Societies. The Chinese government has also ordered that all officials who were concerned in the affair be summarily dealt with. The See Tups have the new Chinese minister to thank for this reversal of the action of his predecessor. who decided that they were highbinders and members of a seditious organization. Not being able to apply the laws of this country to the case, punishment was meted out to the relatives of the leaders of the organization who were in China. ABDUCTED WHILE ASLEEP. Girl Chloroformed and Carried Atvay in Her Night Robe. LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 25.-The little town of Downey, in the southern part of the county, is terribly excited to-day over a case of abduction last night. Miss Mains, the daughter of respectable well-to-do people, was chloroformed and taken from her bedroom in her night dress by an unknown man who entered through a window. At daylight this morning the young woman was found wandering in a dazed condition several miles from home. She has been unable as yet to,give a description of iter abductor, but a posse with bloodhounds is scouring the country for him. Several nights ago someone attempted to enter a room of Dr. Brunson’s house, where his daughter slept, at Downey, but was scared away. FORCED OUT OF OFFICE * BARON MARSCHALL VON BIEBERSTEIN VIRTUALLY DISMISSED. * ■ Herr Von Dulow Made German Minister of Foreign A tinirs-Oth-er Cabinet Changes. BERLIN, June 28.—A dispatch from Kiel says: It was semi-officially announced today that owing to the health of Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, rendering necessary his retirement from the post of minister for foreign affairs, the Emperor has temporarily intrusted the portfolio of minister of foreign affairs to Herr Von Bulow, who will assume the duties of the Foreign Office on the return of his Majesty to Berlin. As the health of Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, minister of foreign affairs, is in no way impaired, the semi-official announcement of his retirement from the Foreign Office which comes from Kiel today is regarded as a virtual dismissal. The Kaiser is expected to return hero during the latter part of August. Until that time the affairs of the Foreign Office will be in the hands of Baron Von Rotcniian, under secretary of state. The theory 5s that this arrangement is made to enable Baron Van Bulow to accompany the Emperor and Prince Hohenlohe to St. Petersburg, after which Prince Hohenlohe will resign and Baron Von Bulqjv succeed him. Baron Von Kiderlon-Wachter, now German minister at Copenhagen, will be appointed foreign secretary. Both men are highly esteemed by the Emperor, but the appointment will certainly provoke a great deal of criticism because, though of the first rank in diplomacy, they are quite without experience of parliamentary life. Although not officially announced, it is said to-night that Dr. Von Boetticher, minister of the interior, has actually resigned and will be succeeded by Count Posadowski Wehner, the present secretary of the treasury. Dr. Miquel’s chances appear to be temporarily clouded. General Podbiessky will probably be gazetted as postmaster general. This, as well as the visit he has recently paid to Prince Bismarck, is looked upon as confirming the report of the early resignation of Prince Hohenlohe, who has always strenuously opposed placing such offices as the postal department in the hands of men of military training. Altogether Germany appears to be in the throes of a far-reaching crisis, of which it is impossible to see the outcome, beyond the fact that the Emperor is more than ever taking the reins into his own control. Ruffians at Constantinople. LONDON, June 29.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard says that secret official orders have been sent into the provinces to encourage able-bodied men to come to the capital, with the result that no fewer than 25,000 sturdy ruffians have arrived there and been provided for by the government. An incident typical of the situation occurred at Constantinople on Tuesday. During the panic caused by the salute fired in honor of the jubilee of Queen Victoria the Mussulmans trooped into the streets armed with bludgeons and asked the police whether the Creeks or the Armenians were to be attacked.

Japanese Jack the Ripper. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 2S.—Advices received by the steamer Gaelic say that an imitator of Jack the Ripper has slain several young women recently in Tokio. The murders, which were four in number, all occurred in the first part of May and so great was the excitement in Tokio that several women killed themselves out of sheer fear of the murderer. The women slain by the Japanese murderer were in every case of good character and all of them belonged to the better class. The murderer has not been caught. An Anarchistic Hoax. PARIS, June 28.—An iron quart pot, supposed to be filled with an explosive powder, was found near the Strasburg statue on the Place de la Concorde at about 3 o’clock this morning. The theory'at first was that this was another attempt on I'ne part of the Anarchists to cause an explosion at that spot, but subsequent investigation sihcwed that the whole thing was a hoax, i*>r the supposed, bomb was merely a pot filled with sand. Venezuelan Ministry Resigns. NEW YORK, June 28.—A dispatch to the World from Caracas, Venezuela, says: The Ministry has resigned and anew Cabinet has been constructed in which Luis Castello is minister of finance, Herberto Gordon minister of the interior, Senor Ricart minister of war and marine and George Uzler minister of public works. Hobenlobe Visits Bismarck. FRIEDERICHSRUHE. June 28.—Prince Hohenlohe, accompanied by Herr von Bulow r and Baron Wilmowski, paid a four hours’ visit to Prince Bismarck to-day on their way from Kiel to B’erlin. The party also drove out for an hour and a half, Prince Hohenlohe sitting in a carriage with Prince Bismarck. .Nine Children Killed. MADRID, June 28.—Nine children have been killed and many others injured by the collapse of a church wall at Solatia, in the province of Ciudad Real. Massacre in Yew Guineu. BRISBANE, Queensland, June other European party has been massacred in New Guinea. No details of the tragedy have reached here as yet. Cable Notes. The Swiss Federal Council has refused to ratify the commercial treaty with Japan, owing to the prohibitive duty placed by Japan on clocks and watches. Delegates from the grain, produce and milling trades of Germany met in Berlin Sunday and (passed a resolution declaring the Boer Boerse reform law' is a serious and unwarranted injury to trade. The volcano Mayn, in the Philippine islands, has been In a state of violent eruption, and the flow of lava has done great damage in the province of Albay, particularly to the Village of Libon. where the tobacco crop Iras been completely destroyed. There has been considerable loss of life. Ghost Dance Revived. BOISE. Idaho. June 28.—Governor Steunenberg is advised that three hundred Indians. mostly Bannocks, with some from the Lemhi agency and some from the Nevada. are ghost dancing in the Camas prairie near Halley. Idaho. The settlers are greatly alarm* and over their action, and have appealed to have them removed. The Governor has wired the Bannock agent at Ross Fork asking that the Indians be recalled. He has wired to the same attact to the Interior Department.

SPEECH BY GEN. WEYLER WHO IS SOW TRYING TO “PACIFY” THE EASTERN PROVINCES. His Policy Explained to the People of Santiago De Calm—W ill Re Ritforons Toward! Rebels. HAVANA, June 28.—Captain General Weyler, after a stormy passage on a coasting steamer from Manzanillo, arrived at Santiago de Cuba yesterday afternoon. The steamer was met by a number of tugs, having on board the municipal authorities, provincial authorities and General Linares, the military commander of the district. The port and shipping were profusely decorated in honor of the captain general and he was cheered by large numbers of the people who lined the routes from the wharf to the cathedral and thence to the palace, in spite of the fact that rain was falling heavily. At the palace the captain general received all the local, civil and military' authorities. Addressing the local authorities last evening in the palace of Santiago de Cuba, Captain General Weyler said he remembered with pleasure that region where he had engaged in a campaign during the previous war in Cuba. Continuing, he explained that he was coming to pacify that part of the island and that though he was strongly desirous of peace, his system of making war was to be rigorous towards the "rebels." who refuse to accept the clemency' which Spain through him offered them. The general added: "Notwithstanding the examples in rigor set*by other colonial nations, I will attend to the reconstruction of the wealth of the island. This was the purpose which inspired my last decrees, and 1 propose to continue icy, although I have been compelled in some instances to countenance destruction, owing to the fact that circumstances have made it necessary in some cases to destroy the resources of the rebels.” The captain general then referred to the sincerity of the Spanish government in its desire to introduce reforms in Cuba, concluding with the remark: "I come to bring peace or war. If the former is accepted we will then return to the law. But if the latter is desired, behind me come forty battalions of troops.” At 9 o’clock last evening Governor Ordax banqueted the captain general. Much enthusiasm is said to have been manifested by th£ people. The coasting steamer Triton, which has arrived here* from ports In the province of Pinar del Rio, brought eleven officers and twenty-five sick soldiers, in addition to fourteen prisoners of war. The coasting steamer Alava, which has arrived here from Santa Clara ports, had on board iifty r -two prisoners of war. . , A . The Puerto Rico batallion in the district of Sancti Spiritus has destroyed an insurgent rifle store and captured nine insurgents and fourteen women. Advices received from official sources at Sancti Spiritus announce the surrender there to the Spanish authorities, of the insurgent Governor Felix Companioni, an insurgent major, three insurgent prefects, three insurgent mail carriers, six insurgents belonging to the escort of Velloso, the insurgent leader, and eighty-four men and three hundred and forty'-four women and children. Official dispatches from Trinidad, province of Santa Clara, shy that 390 persons have surrendered there to the Spaniards. The families, it is added, are lodged in the railroad station, which is overcrowded. Fifteen of the party have died from fever. Small skirmishes only have taken place recently in the other provinces, with but slight loss on either side.

WOODCOCK ABOUT RIPE. A Toothsome Bird That May Be Shot in Indiana. After July 1. Chicago Times-Herald. ‘•Ole Mr. Woodcock, cotton am high; Ole Mr. Woodcock—shine ’im in ae eye— Ole Mr. Woodcock, dia you sa-a-ay, Did you sa-a-ay, ’Good Lord" That song comes from the low-lying lands of Last Feliciana Parisn, Louisiana. It was made by a negro tiling of snreds and patches whose name tradition holds not, and it illustrates the manner in which one of the noblest, most toothsome ana scarce of our game birds is butchered by Africans and ’Cadian French in that part of the country. The woucicock is a Being gifted with a bill of enormous length, he bores into the ground in search of succulent worms that are his diet. He has a round head and large, very bright eye. After dark he is found in the fields between the rows of cotton. The negroes hunt him just as deer are sometimes nunted —with a big flaming brazier of pine knots. They ••snine" the eyes of the bird, not more than a dozen leet away. Me is blinded and his three inches of bill is in the earth. A thimbleful of powder and a pinch of No. 10 shot do the rest. When Mississippi steamers land at Baton Rouge the French and negroes board them wreathed round with dead woodcock, which they call "becasse. The birds are strung through the neck upon heavy twine that has a bagging needle at one end of it. The ends are united and a loop is formed, something like a lady’s boa. It is picturesque enougn but makes a sportsman sick. The birds are sold to the stewards of the vessels at o cents apiece. In Chicago they are snapped up at $3 a dozen. The season opens in this State on the 15th of July. By tne middle of September they have gone South. They winter in Soutn America in swarms. Great shooting is had along the Orinoca. Their favorite grounds in Illinois are along the Fox, Illinois and Kankakee rivers. They are found in thick willows and brushy, swampy places, where the walking is hard and the shooting particularly difficult. Fitteen in a day, legitimately killed, is an excellent bag. They are hunted sometimes with the cocKer spaniel, but more often with pointer or setter. As the cover is so thick that in many Instances the shooter cannot see his dog, and as . the dog will not flush if well trained, it Is custom to hang a bell about the animal s neck. When the bell stops tinkling the ofcner knows that his dog has found game. He goes in and kicks the bird out and misses him. Chicago sportsmen tell tales ot invaluable pointers that they have lost in this way. The dog came to a stand and was too stanch to break away; he could not be found in the thick undergrowth and so starved miserably to death. Chicago sportsmen, however, do not differ in kind from the sportsmen of other cities. The woodcock is singular in one respect. The female is much larger than the male. They breed early in the spring, going as far north as the St. Lawrence. The female lays from four to five eggs and is especially careful of her young, which are plump, downy things not unlike Leghorn chickens just out of the shell. At one time there was an idea prevalent, not only among shotgun men, but among naturalists, that the woodcock crossed the Atlantic to England and back every year. He is a strong flyer, but hardly equal to the trip. I have never seen any explanation of how this belief obtained currency. The bird has another peculiarity. His call to his mate is a soft wooing gurgle, but he cannot utter it while on the ground. He tiles it sometimes, but his bill drops to the earth and his tail tilts spasmodically up. The world would bo better If some human singers were similarly affected. His mild cluckcluck when feeding the negro has translated into "Good Lord!” and it is supposed by him to be a supplication to the Deity for more worms. Taken by and large, as the sailors say, the woodcock furnishes more difficult shooting than anything that flies over American soil. This is partly due to his habitat, which, except at night, is confined to thick woods, swamps and canebreaks, and partly to his flight, which is rapid and spiral. The bird Is easily stopped when centered, but the centering process has its drawbacks. Os all guns the sixteen-guage is preferable. He is killed always at short ranges, and the lack of weight of this weapon enables one to handle It more quickly. The barrels should be cylinder bored. In the South the quarry is found In canebreaks, which grow to a height of forty feet. The cocker spaniel is used. This small hunter yelps continually. His size, or lack of it. enables him to make his way into and through places that would baffle the ordinary pointer or setter. The shooter must be ever on the alert, as the birds are routed out without warning, in front of him. on either hand or at his back, as chance may direct. He can hear only the rush of th*e wings and judge from the yound the direction In which to turn. Tbo bird whir* up-

ward with a spiral as pronounced as that of a corkscrew, and when he clears the tops of the cane dives immediately. It takes the quickest, of eyes to mark the flight and the readiest of fingers on the trigger to stop it. Experts count on one bird in the bag to every five shells expended, which they r mantain to be a high average. As the spaniel is an excellent retriever, few dead birds are lost. There is another form of woodcock shooting which is even more difficult. So far as my observation ‘extends, it is confined to the far South, or. at least, is practiced only there. At the back of every Louisiana plantation is a wooded swamp where the birds lie perdu in the daytime. They fly to the opvn fields between sunset and black dark. At such times their height is from sixty to one hundred feet, and they go like a bullet. In the half-light they look like a black ball, the size of a man’s fist, shot from a small cannon. Thv shooter stands with his back to the woods and takes the flyers going from him. That is. he shoots at them going from him. He does not “take” many of them. Success at this sport is exhilarating in proportion to its difficulty. In those latitudes tIM dark seems literally to fall from tire sky and shooting time is very brief. There is one way to cook woodcock and but one: Select a deep earthen dish largeenough to hold four. They will b*e just enough for you and the wife who has lost your company for the clay that you nay be pleasured. Lay them in the bottom of it on their backs. Put in enough waiter, salt and pepper tc the taste, and add a strong dash of good Madeira, Put on a flaky crust, through the center of which the four bills project. Then bake slowly and with longings. Any other method is criminal. As the rich steam which follows the first stroke of the knife rises heavenward thv fatigues of the day will pass from your limbs. When the wanderers of the night have gone to that bourne whence no woodcock returns, you and the wife, whatever the trifling differences of the past, will look at one another and love one another. Asa promoter of marital felicity the woodcock is worth his weight In gold. WILL CLOSE WEDNESDAY. All the Iron, and Sheet Mills to Be Shut Down. PrTTSBFRG, June 28.—A1l the union iron mills in the country, the tin-plate plants and sheet mills will close on Wednesday night and remain closed until the wage scales are settled. No serious trouble Is expected and the failure to adjust the wage schedules before the close of the year is not an indication that a strike is to be inaugurated. President Garland, of the Amalgamated Association, denies a telegraph report from Chicago that he will order a general strike at the plants of the Illinois Steel Company if the scale is not signed for the Bay Viewmill before Thursday. He said the Bay \ iew and all the union Iron mills in the country will close on that day pending a settlement of the scale, but that a suspension is necessary at this time for annual repairs and that manufacturers are not in a hurry to come to a settlement at once. The iron scale will be taken up in the conference at Youngstown on Wednesday. As the present agreement expires on Wednesday night, all the tin-plate plants w-ith the exception of four nonunion concerns, will close at that time. There will be no difficulty in arranging the iron and steel sheet scale. It Is practically settled now-, but the manufacturers will not sign until the tin-plate scale is adjusted. No General Strike of Minei-R. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 28.—There will be no general strike of miners In the near future, notwithstanding the determined efforts of some of the leaders to bring about a general suspension. District President Patrick Dolan, of the miners’ organization, returned to-day from Columbus, where he had attended a three days’ secret session of the national executive board of the united workers, at which the question of demanding the 69-cent rate was under discussion. No agreement was /cached and work will continue. Anoth-r meeting of the board will likely be called w-ithin a week or two, but President Dolan did not care to venture a prediction on the result.

Forsythe, in Harper. We came suddenly upon indubitable evidence of battle and retreat. About a mile In advance the road was filled and the field dotted with wagons and men belonging to the various brigade, division and corps headquarters, and in among them officers’ servants with led horses, and here and there a broken ambulance, sutlers’ supply trains, a battery forge or two, horses and mules, hastily packed with officers’ mess kits, led by their cooks, and now- and then a group of soldiers, evidently detailed enlisted men attached to headquarters trains. In fact, this was the first driftwood of a flood just beyond and soon to come sweeping down the road. Within the next few- miles the pike and adjacent fields l>egan to be lined and dotted everywhere with army wagons, sutlers’ outfits, headquarters supply trains, disabled caissons, and teamsters with led mules, all drifting to the rear; and now and then a w-ounded officer or enlisted soldier on horseback or plodding along on foot, with groups of straggling soldiers here and there among the wagon trains, or in the fields, or sometimes sitting or lying down to rest by the side of the road, while others were making coffee in their tin cups by tiny camp fires. Soon we began to see small bodies of soldiers in the fields w-ith stacked arms, evidently cooking breakfast. As we debouched into the fields and passed around the wagons and through these groups, the general would wave his hat to the men and point to the front, never lessening his speed as he pressed forward. It was enough: one glance at the eager face and familiar black horse and they knew him. and starting to their feet they swung their caps around their heads anil broke into cheers as he passed beyond them; and then, gathering up their belongings and shouldering their arms, they started after him for the front, shouting to their comrades further out in the fields, "Sheridan! Sheridan!” waving their hats and pointing after him as he dashed onwardand they, too, comprehended instantly, for they took up the cheer and turned back for the battlefield. To the best of my recollection, from the time we met the first stragglers who had drifted back from the army his appearance and his cheery shout of "Turn back, men—turn back! Face the other way,” as he waved his hat toward the front, had but ono result: A wild cheer of recognition, an answering wave of the cap. In no case as 1 glanced back, did I fail to see the men shoulder their arms and follow- us. I think It is no exaggeration to sav that as he dashed on to the field of battle, for miles back the turnpike was lined with men pressing forward after hlrp to the front. Gambling Broken Up.

WHALERSJN PERIL Three Veel* with Nearly lfiO Men ( might in the Ice. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Juno 2X—Letters received in this city to-day from Herschel island bring the intelligence that three of the stanchest steamers of iho San Francisco whaling fleet were caught in the ice off the mouth of the Mackenzie river last September and could not make a ; rbor. These vessels—the Mary D. Hume. Captain William Haggerty; the Jesse 11. Freeman. Captain W. P. S. Porter, and the Fearless, Captain James McKi nna—were frozen in the while trying to in.ike a harbor. They were in no danger daring the winter, but letters stated that during June, when the Ice packs break up, the v - sols will have a hard lime of it, and the chances are that all three will be crushed in the ice. If so, the lives of from 120 to 150 men will be in danger. The whalers are short of provisions, and the crews had to haul supplies from Herschel island over the ice on dog sledges ,o the vessels.

Tea Thousand Suicides. More men murder themselves than are told of in the papers. A hundred men kill themselves by overwork, overworry, neglect of health, to one who uses a pistol. A man has a little trouble with his head, his stomach, his nerves—he doesn’t gleep well, or feel well, and he doesn’t pay any attention to it. He loses flesh and strength and says: “ Bye and bye ” he will take a vacation. He lies to himself. What he needs is a tonic, a blood maker, a nerve builder. He needs Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It is the most wonderful health maker in the whole world. It puts the entire body into good order. It begin? on the digestion. Makes the appetite sharp and strong—helps to digest the food —renders it easily assimilable—puts blood making, blood purifying properties into it. Sends it tingling into every fiber of the body. Puts cushions of flesh all around the abused nerves. Brings healthful, restful sleep—makes solid flesh —makes anew man of you. If your druggist is honest, he will recommend it. If he is not, he will try to sell you something else. Neglected constipation will soon make a man "not worth his salt.” A listless, sallow, bilious man, continually suffering from headaches and heart-burns is unf.t for business or pleasure. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules. One “ Pellet ” is a gentle laxative and two a mild cathartic. They never cause paiu or gripe.
