The latter again referred to aubllshed-eaargea of irregularity' i n connection with the sugar schedule1 and' asserted that the Senate would, stand convicted before the, American people if it failed to in­vestigate the charges, Mr. Hoar calmly and,impressively- Tepefied, this statement, his tone and language being calculated as a rebuke. He declared that the vague cbsr^ges were •, pot poly preposterous but infamoua. vMrV Alli­son, in charge of the bill, mjide an­other speech ih defehse of thai amhfifnU, presenting tables which he de'elared proved that the sugar refiners received less protection under the Senate sched­ule than tinfler the existing law. Mr. Pettigrew, of South DakoU, spoke at length in favor of his amendment to place on the free list articles controlled by trusts, severely arraigning the var­ious large trusts.

It had been in circulation throughout the United States for' about six months and was presented to congress by Rep. Sulzer, of Now York.

SENATE.—65th day.—A great stride forward was made by completing the consideration of the sugar schedule of" the tariff 'bill;' except the proVfslon relating to> Hawaii, which went"4 oVer. This schedule has be^U the'storfr cen­ter of the entire bill, and with it dis­posed of there Is a better prospect for speedy action on the bill as a whole. ^ The first paragraph of the sugarsched-u le served to bring out all the speeches and test votes and when this Was passed the other paragraphs of the schedule were agreed to without further opposition. The consideration of the agricultural schedule was taken up. _

SENATE.—66th day—There was rapid work on tbe tariff bill. There were no long speeches andV. the debate was of a snappy character which at i tbnee enlivened but did not delay the serious work on tbe bill. Thirteen pages were disposed of, carrying tbe Senate through the agricultural schedule and up to schedule H, relating to spirits, wines, etc. During tbe day the para­graphs on dairy prod acts, farm] pro­ducts, fish, fruit and nuts, meat pro­ducts and miscellaneous agricultural products were acted on. The finance committee proposed many changes, in the main advancing rates somewhat over those heretofore reported. The committee was sustained on every vote although a contest was made on al­most every paragraph. Mr. Vest's motion to restore Bait to the free list was rejected—yeas 24, nays 31. The

ilnee of the treaty negotiated during the admiuisMwttou of PDesideat Hnexl-son and! v^thdrawn b> "-'Prettiatli Clevelwo. I t p i o ^ j s f o r annexation without the exaction o j ; eojitytyons on the part of the HaweHans astbthjs form of government to bf vouchsafed to Hawaii, waving*/that ouestion to be entirely disposed of by the g o v e « m e n t of the United 8tates. The United States will agree/hovvevir, V> asfume the debt of the present Hawaiian fOr> e m men t, but will come l n w posses­sion of all the Hawaiian crown lands and other possessions. L AH" revenue from these lands shall be used solely for the benefit of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands for educational and other. pnbU*j#nreesee. Hawaii shall be admitted into the Union ai a territory of the United States, local laws to be passed by a h>cal legislature, but subject to the approval of the President further immigra­tion of Chinese laborers is prohibited pending congressional action, and the entry of Chinese from Hawatt into the United States likewise is prohibited. No mention is made of any gratuity to ex-Quee^ tftftfowataht bt the Princess Ksuilsni.

The present condition of affairs in Hawaii, it is said, has had much to do with the favorable considere* .tienof^the treaty of • annexation* "The present government of Hawaii and the people who support it are very much concerned about the Japanese slttfe-tion, and it is felt that the Japanese, at any time/may—take some action looking to the acquisition of the island. This IH borne out by the fact that just before the treaty, was signed Secretary of State Sherman w a s presented with ja formal protest by the Japanese gov­ernment through its legation againBt ithe consummation of ^be ^reaty. The protest is understood to be based on apprehension that the special treaties now existing between ' Japan fiend Hawaii, utoder whicp'tne Japahes#en* joy special advantages, willbe.ajftpe^ted injuriously;by annexation. .

All at once the Mgbt in the 'vestry was extinguished, and the minister, a m*n about fifty years of age, appeared on the threshold, wrapped in a heavy winter -cloak and carrying a thick staff..

"Lcck up, Solomon, my man," he said.

Solomon obeyed^ turning the key In the inner door, and then that of the outer one of solid oak, while the min­ister stood waiting on the path. Then the two, side by side, and with much the same kind of mechanical trot, passed across the churchyard, pausing now and again to struggle with the fierce gusts, and to hold on their bead-gear— the, sexton his Sunday "bonnet," and the minister his broad-brimmed plerlcaj hati . ,

Reaching £he Iron^gate, ,wb4ch was rattling and creating .in the wind, they descended three qwaa-giown siaps, and reached the highway. Here all was pitch dark, for the shadow of tall yew-trees fall from the other side, deepen­ing the nccturnal blackness1; but, crossing the .road, they opened another gate, .oroased the garden where the yaWftrse* grew, and reached the door of the manse.

Standing here In complete shelter, they heard the "sough" of the blast overhead among_the tossing, boughs, ilka, the wild thunder of a stormy sea.

The manse was a plain two-story buUdl&ferv a* otd aa the times of the Co*««an* and containing numberless impassioned, wrathful, and in the nar cheerless Chambers, the majority' of wnteh W§Ye unfurnished. Here the Reverend Sampson Lorraine had dwelt In'solitude' for flve-and-twenty years. He Had come to the place as a shy young bachelor, a student, and a bookworm; and despite all the sieges that bxJL been laid to his heart, as was inevitable in a place where marriage­able men were few and spinsters many, a bachelor he had remained ever since. People said that a love disappointment in early life bad made him thereafter invulnerable to all the charms of wom­en) but at first his single condition made him. very popular.

,erUes increased, he oaasad much interest

Opening the door with a latch-key, he entered a bare lobby, and striking a light, led the way into a large room on the ground floor. It was scantily fufttiaaed with an old carpet, an old-fashioaed circular table with drawers, and several chairs; but .on the walls were numerous shelves, covered with Dosflat. The room had two large win-dews looking on the back lawn which aloped down to the river, but was with" out curtains of any kind.

• fire burned on the hearth, and a rud* box of peat fuel stood by the fireeide. One «Me of the table was spread v i t a a etean doth, on wfrteUt stood a tray with broad, oatcake, cheese, and butter, and a large atone watef-yttf, a black-bottle, and some glataec.1' "

"Sit ye down, Solomon/' said the minister^ piacinc a Hghted candle on the table).

Solomon stood, hat in hand. Every Sutiday evening tor many a long year

peated; "and take a glass—the night 1» cold*" „ . . ,-. , ,, *.*i , Solpmon placed, his bonnet carefully

on the edge of the table, and seated himself, respectfully on pne of ti)e> cape-bottonied^haim. .Then, leiaurely and eolomftly, ha poured out a giaas of raw spirit. Meantime Mr. Lorraine, haying, divested hienaatt of his cloak > and hat, sat down in >he arm-chair by the fireBlde, . . . . .,:-.-,.,-.-

"Here's fortune, air," aald Solomon, drinking oft the whisky; then, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he sat bolt* upright and expectant, .waiting to see if Ills superior had anything more to say. But, as the minister remained silent, Solomon rose to go.

"Are v e mlhdfa' the funeral the morn?"'the sexton asked, taking up his bonnet.

Mr Lorraine nodded. "Can I bring ye anything before I

gang to bed? 1 maun rise at five to feenlsh the grave."

"No; go to bed. I shall sit up and read a little."

"Weel, good-night, sir." "Good-night, Solpmon," Thereupon Solomon left the room,

closing the door softly behind him. Lighting a candle in the lobby, he made his way quietly to a chamber in the upper part of the house, where he slept, and which was, indeed, the only chamber in the manse, excepting the minister's sitting-room and adjoin* lng bedroom, which contained any fur­niture.

Many years before Solomon had taken up his abode there, on the min­ister's invitation, and it was his only heme. Besides performing the duties of sexton and clerk; he acted generally as factotum to Mr. Lorraine, attended to the garden^ and groomed the pony on which the minister made his visita­tions about the country. An aged woman, Mysie Simpson, came in every day to clean and cook, but invariably' retired to her own dwelling at night­fall. So the two old men were prac­tically alone together, and, despite the difference in their social positions, re­garded each other with a peculiar at­tachment

The minister sat for some time mus­ing, then with a sigh ho took a book, from 4he s h ^ e ^ anA bejan to read. It was a volume of old sermona, writ­ten by a south-country clergyman,

row. sense Calvinistie. As he read, the wind roared round the house, and moaned in the chimneys, and rattled the shutterlese windows; but as the wind rose the darkness decreased, and the vitreous rays of the moon began playing on the window panes.«

Mr. Lorraine lit his pipe—the only luxury in which he indulged; for despite his* plump figure, which he in­herited, he was abstemious and a tee -totaler. Then, with another sigh, he rose and walked thoughtfully up and down the room; paused at one of the windows, and looked down the moon­lighted lawn which sloped to the river­side; talking all the time to himself, flfi " i f hft ^"ftrmH haHt <

Suddenly, there came a load single knock at the front door.

The Minister started, listening, and the same moment a gnat of unusual force- shook the boeae to its founda­tion.

"Bless me, what's thatT" he exclaim­ed. "I thought I heard a knock at the ban door, bat maybe my ears ekeeived a e . It waa only the wind, Pm think­i n g " ,, . * •

CHAPTER I t HO A RflaT Paisley shawl was wrapt round the infaa*. covering all bat a portion of its ttny face, As it lay like

• a mammy In its wrappings, it con­tinued to cry loud­ly, and the cry went at once to the m i n i s t e r ' s tender

heart. But in a moment the old man guess­

ed the truth—that the hapless crea­ture had been left there by some one who had knocked and fled. Still hold­ing the child in his arms, he ran out in the garden and looked on every side.

"Come back!" he said; "whoever you are, come back!"

But no one responded. The wind moaned dismally In the trees that lifted their black branches overhead, that was all. He ran to the gate and looked up and down the road, but could see nobody. As he stood in per­plexity the child cried again loudly, and struggled in hlB arms.

"Bless me!" he murmured; "I must take it in, or it will die of cold!"

He ran back to the door and.knocked loudly again and again,, It was some tithe before he was heard. At last, however, he beard footsteps coming along the passage, and redoubled hia knocking. The door opened, and Solomon Mucklebacklt, half dressed, apppeared on the threshold; . Without a word the minister ran into the lobby.

"Losh me, meen later, is it yoursel'?" ejaculated Solomon, in amazement "I thought you were in bad."

"Come this way—quick!" shouted Mr. Lorraine. "Bring a light!"

And still , carrying his burden, he ran into the sitting-room. Solomon closed the door, struck a match, and lighted.a candle, and followed him im­mediately, Then his amazement deep­ened. To see Mr. Lorraine standing by tha fireside with a crying infant in Ms arms waa indeed enough to awaken perplexity and wonder.

"My conscience, meenister, what hae ye gotten there?'/

"A child! Some one left it in the porch, knocked, ^nd ran away. Run, Solomon, search up and down the road, and see if you can find them. Shame upon them, whoever they are. Don't standstaring,bitrun.** "

Perfectly bewildered, Solomon stood gaping; then with one horror-stricken look at the infant, left the room, and ran from the house.

Left alone with the child, the min-ieter seemed puzzled what to do. He held i t awkwardly, and its cries con­tinued; then, to still It, he rocked it

' to and fro in his arms. —Wading it mill—troublesome, he placed it down in the arm-chair, and softly loosened the shawl in which it was wrapt, freeing its little arms.

Its cries ceased for a time, and it lay with eyes wide op iX spreading it* little hands in the warm twil ight

The minister put on his glasses and looked at it with solemn curiosity.

It was a tiny infant, about two months old; its little pink face was pinched with cold, and its great blue eyes dim with crying. A common linen cap was on its head, and Us gown was of coarse linen. Bat it was so small, so pretty, thai the minister's tender heart melted over it at ,009a, He offered it hia forefinger, which it gripped with its tiny hands, biinkiag up into his face.

"Poor wee mite!" he murmured, "I wonder who your mother is? A wick­ed woman, I'm thin t ing, to east you away on such a night as this!**

As if in answer to bis words, the child began to cry again.

"I cap see naehody," cried Soiosnoa, re-entering the room; "I hae aaarchit up aad dooa, as far toonwaye^as Mysie Simpson's door, aad fceyoat to the waterside, aad there's nene stirring. It's asrfu' sxraager .

He looked at the child, aad scratched his head; he looked at the minister, and nodded it ominously. A curiae* conjecenre, too irreverent for utterance, had passed acrees bit nat­urally suspicious mind.

WASHINGTON LETTER. •Washington, D. C, June 18, '97.

The most important event of the week in Washington was the sending of the treaty for the an­nexation of Hawaii to the United States as a territory to the Senate. There is jubilation among those who believe that the true policy of this government is to get cou-

' trol of all outlyiug islands in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. There is some talk about ratifica­tion of this treaty being made a party question in the senate but it is hardly likely any considerable number of Senators can be found who will acknowledge themselves to be so short-sighted as such an act would proclaim them to be. This is not a party question; it is an American question, as Presi­dent Grover Cleveland quickly learned when he thwarted the last attempt at annexation. The Ja­panese minister has been asking some questions about the annexa­tion treaty which indicate an in­tention on the part of his govern­ment to make a protest against a treaty. I t is not now certain that the treaty will be ratified by the Senate at this session of Con­gress, but a protest from Japan would make its ratification not only certain but speedy. Senator Kyle, who strongly favors an­nexation, says he has made a poll of the Senate and that fifty-five Senators have declared for annex­ation and twelve are in doubt how they will vote. Sixty votes will be needed to ratify the treaty. In order tolxe prepared for any con­tingency, it is undurstood that the friends of annexation will intro­duce a joint resolution in both House and Senate annexing Ha­waii. In case there is a disposi­tion on the part of the opponents of annexation to filibuster against a vote on treaty in the Senate this resolution will be put through and annexation will be accomplish­ed just the same as though the treaty were< ratified. Texas was annexed by a joint resolution after a treaty had failed of ratifi-

Intcreattng Ittmt. By actual count there were 579

bicycles in the parade at Ann Ar­bor on Tuesday night of last week although the claim is made that there were 700 bicyclers present.

A new industry is being, prac­ticed in the southern part of the state by a party of men who are going about catching turtles from the lakes aud pond. The reptiles are shipped to the oities where they find a good market price among the hotel and restaurant keepers.

Chas. Lattie of Coruuna got drunk last Saturday night and slugged his wife with the house dog as a club, the dog's tail an­swering the purpose of a handle. He was arrested but claims only a very hazy recollection of tne fra­cas.—Bancroft Commercial. That's a dogon tile.

The Ann Arbor railroad now sells 500 and 1,000 mile mileage books, for $10 and $20 respective­ly good for two years. This is a decided move in the direction of a two cent a mile fare as the 1,000 mile books are good for the use of the family of the person to whom they are issued.

cation. • Senator Pettigrew dosen't think that the fact that sugar stock did not rise as many points during the consideration of the sugar schedule of the present tarriff bill

. as during the tariff debate on the Wilson- bill, gives the present Senate any cause for pride. When Mr. Pettigrew referred to the rise in sugar stock he was interrupted by Senator Gear who said that the sugar debate in the Senate three years ago sent up^sugar stock 40 points and he exclaimed in reply: "I think that the two de­bates on sugar—now and three years ago—justify the existence of a new political party.
