The manufacture of butterine as an industry will virtually cease in Illinois July 1. now that Gov. Tanner has siigncd the bill preventing the coloring of that article. Unde Sam will lose $600,006 a year In internal revenue taxes, restaurant and boarding house keepers will have to buy genuine butter for their patrons, and the farmers all over the Prairie State will shout for joy as soon as the bild becomes operative. Thirty million pounds of butterine is made in Chicago a year, on every pound of which the manufacturer pays a 2-cent tax to the Government. lie can afford to do it, too, for the modern product so closely resembles dairy butter in color and taste that it easily brings as good a price as the best butter that ever came out of a churn. But now that the farmers have secured the passage of a law prohibiting the coloring of butterine. thereby leaving it the shade of mutton Mallow, the palmy days of the stock yards product are past. Butterine np longer can 'compete with dairy butter, and' in consequence the manufacturers will shut down their works or move them to a more congenial clime, where the farmers are more meek and long-s’.iffering. There are four firms engaged in the manufacture of butterine in Chicago—Armour & Co.. Swift A Co., Braun & Fitts and G. 11. Hammond A Co. The last named firm has an extensive plant at Hammond, Ind., ami will suffer only the loss of the Illinois trade. The other three houses will bo obliged to move to other States. Armour and Swift have plants at Kansas City and will probably transfer the machinery used in Chicago to that city. Standing of the Clubs.

Col. Shepard Young, a well-known Boston military man, in an interview divulged the details of a secret Cuban expedition which loft Boston May 2.3 and poked up several recruits in New York, lie has received a cipher telegram from Jacksonville, conveying the news that the expedition had sailed from that city on a fast, light draft steamer. 115 strong, armed with rilles of army pattern. All have seen service in the militia. A movement has been started to organize a sanitary commission to supply stores. Col. doling says: “I con looted the drills in a hall in Boston, put them through in fancy tactics, cavalry tactics, and artillery tactics. Every man could load and tire a cannon, no matter what the size, and swing a saber or use a bayonet. Not a soldier left Boston until he was drilled suflicicntly to take charge of a regiment. The tactics were taught mostly at night. \\ e got word from New York that a spy had been sent to Boston. We didn't see him. Ihe troops practiced with the machete also. That is used mostly for a front cut. I'he machete is heavier than a saber, and the wielding of one is hard work, but the men soon learned to use it with skill.” The toriH'do boat Cushing is now tied up to the wharf at the Newport. R. 1., torpedo station. The deck over the engines has been removed, and machinists are at work on her. It would bevimpossible to find an angrier body of men. Last fall the Cushing was sent to the Norfolk navy yard to be fitted with new steam pipes. Everything must have been taken apart, and in putting things together a wreck was made of the boat. At that time she was in first-class condition, except that new steam pipes were needed. Her engines worked finely. It is now found that the cylinder head, which was screwed on tight, had been taken off and an asbestos packing put in between it and the cylinder. On the run up Cue sound a week ago it was found the blowers did not work properly and an examination showed that they had also been tampered with, and in order to got a pressure of forty i ounds of steam it was necessary to use a rope packing in the blowers. '1 he heads of the screws in the machinery have been filed off and the only way to get the screws out is to drill thorn out. The officers of the boat are indignant at the botch work at the navy yard, which has spoiled a boat that, until the building of the Porter, was the fastest boat in the navy. WESTERN. Judge Carroll D.

A destructive cyclone struck near Lyle Minn., late Thursday afternoon, and it was al first reported that eight or nine people had been killed and many injured Investigation shows that one man was killed mid from fifteen to twenty injured In addition to this several people are missing. At Cincinnati, it was developed in testimony at the inquest, on the death of Alfred Quick, who committed suicide, that the motive was to escape mob vengeance. Quick had been discovered in an attempted assault and with the Urbana incident fresh in his mind took his own life rather than risk death at the hands of a mob. Thursday two strangers called on J. K, Long, a farmer living near Blakeley, Ind., and tried to swindle him with the old “card trick.” Long, who reads the newspapers, excused himself, saying he wJLd go to the house and get some mo®’* W'heu he returned he had a with which he opened fire.

Mr. King says with his process the cost can bp cut in two. He exhibited his work to a number of iron ami steel men ami they told him his discovery was one of the most important in the history of iron manufacture. King has applied for letters patent in all foreign countries where iron is manufactured. If the interpretation placed on the new child labor law by its friends is correct, the big department stores of Chieaga will have to discharge nil their cash l>oys ami girls tinder 14 years of age.

NATIONAL SOLONS. Review of their work at WASHINGTON. Detailed Procecdingß of Senate and Louse—Biffs or Introduced in Either Branch-Qn., tioilß of Mo . ment to the Country at Lu-j, e> The Legislative Grind. 'llie Senate had a period of tariff speeches \\ cduesday, ami ns a result little progress was made mi the bill. Mr'. Rawlins of I tali and Mr. Mills of Texas discussed the Democratic attitude on the tariff from their respective standpoints. Later in the day Mr. Cannon of Utah proposed an amendment placing an export bounty on agricultural proiluets. He spoke for two hours on the mill of giving the farmer a share of the benefits of the tariff. Mr. Butler of North Carolina also spoke in favor of giving the farmer equal benefits with other classes under the bill. Only half a page of the bill, covering four brief and comparatively unimportant paragrapus, were lisposed of during the day. Tile long-(b*fcrred ilobate on the sugar schedu'e of the tariff bill came on Thursday, after the Senate had ilisposed of the cereals in the agricultural s<-hcduh*. Nothing definite was accomplished. Jtunes T. Lloyd, who wm, recently elected to succeed the late Representative Giles, of the First Missouri District, took the oath at tin* opening of th<* House. Mr. Hitt asked unanimous consent for the lonsideration of a joint resolution for the payment of the salaries of certain consuls generil ami consuls, the names of whose posts were changed in the last consular and Jiphmmtic bill. The resolution was passed. Mr. Bayne then moved an adjournment, which was resisted by the minority. The rising vote resulted in a ti<*—S7 to S7. Speaker Rei d saved tht* motion by voting aye. and the House* adjourned until Momla . The first test vote on the sugar schetlule was takrni in tin* Senate late Friday, resulting in tin* mloptioii of the Republican caucus amcmlment changing the House rate of 1 575-1960 to 1.95 per pound by tihe chi-e vote of yeas 32. nays 30. The affirmative vote was mailt* up of twentynine tbpiiblicans, one Democrat (.McEnery of l.mi'sianal. one silver Republican (Junes of Nevada! and one Populist (Stew irt of Nt vatla). The negative vote was math* up of twentj live 1 kumi-raH. three Populists a- d two silver Republicans. it was the closest vote thus far taken <>n on issue of importance, ami was accep'ed as showing that amendments having the sanction of the camns were assured >if adoption.

Tie* Senate <b bati* on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill proceeded Monday with only one diverting ineiib'iil to relieve the nmnotmiy into which the di<eus>ion has lapsed. This was the sharp exchange beiwem Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts and Mr. Tillman of South Carolina, repre--I nting the two extremes of S. latorial proeidiirc. The House adjourned until Thursday after a sc-simi that lasted for-ty-five minutes. The only attempt to transit'd busim — was a icqm st by Mr. Lae* y of lowa for unanimous consent for a bill for tin* relief of ii'sidents of Greer County. Oklahoma. Mr. Henry of Texas promptly objected, and the House deci'h'd to adjourn.
