The mining Industry In the Transvaal Is
for the most part played out. says the Lon
don Economist. The position of actually
producing mines will , on the whole , as a
result of reforms and economies now being
jiut In force In nil the properties , bo more
favorable than for a long time past , but no
reforms Imaginable would' ' enable a num
ber of mines now crushing to make a proflt
iA to developing companies , the majority
unfortunately , the position Is really serious ,
and may we'll bo u source of anxiety to the
iwholo Industry. Alreidy numbers of de-
voloplnc mines are closed doivn ; at others a
merely nominal amount of work IH proceed
ing ( In order not to alarm the susceptibilities
of shareholders ) , vvhllo nearly all the rest
nro rapidly coming to the end of their cash.
3t may be policy to push on with one or two
of the richest deep levels , which are almoet
ready to crush , but otherwise It Is sheer
tfolly ot the directors to do any further work
ot present on all these mines.
Nobody probably realizes the Immense
mimn of money still needed to bring to a
producing stage the mines on the main reef ,
nor the fact that most of these mines , under
present taxation , blmply won't pay when
tl'-ey are equipped. The position of many
mines at the present moment , which are
licavlly In debt , and either ihut down or
. working at a loss , should bo enough to cause
real alarm to the directors of low-grade
liilnoB who are still rashly spending the
working capital on hand or are thcmeclvcs
running Into big debts , nut the methods
of finance on tne Hand have been always
rotten , and until the present engineers and
managers are brought to tholr senses they
nvlll continue to bo so. The financial position
of the Industry six months hence , unless
Kreat reforms are granted In the meantime ,
nvlll bo thoroughly rotten , and until this Is
rnmeillad European investors should abso
lutely rcfueo to touch a single Transvaal
etock.
The great depression lias not yet made

ilavvn at an alarming rate , It la easy to BOO
now that the town has been hugely over-
tullt anil that town property has born much
overvalued. A number of big buildings , the
relics of last year's building boom , are still
going up , but these , when finished , remain
half empty , and ono feels sorry if or the num

WASIUXQTON , Juno 25 The senate today -
day completed tbo wool schedule , the silk
schedule and the tobacco schedule of the
tariff bill , and with this accomplished the
tariff Icadera had the satisfaction ot knowIng -
Ing that all the scheduler of the bill had
been gone over once. Thcro now only re-
malm to go through the bill a second time ,
passing on tbo Items passed over. These
are very numerous and Important , Including
hldcfl , gloves , coal , tea and beef. After
that the Internal revenue feature ] ot the
bill will be nil that remain. Progress was
rapid today , 'Itbotlgn every paragraph re
latlng to carpets vva& btubbornly contested
The cor.fideration [ ot the nllk schedule led
to a strong contest against tlio proposed
duties on silk fabrics , Senators Mantle and
Teller joining with the democrats In opposi
tion. The patagraph was packed by a ma
jority of two The tobacco schedule went
through with llltlo friction after the com
mittee had advanced the duty slightly on
wrapper and leaf tobacco
Consldciatlon of the wool schedule
was resumed at paragraph 370 , re
lating to aubusson , axmlnlstcr , tnoquettc and
chenille carpets Mr Vest ot Missouri moved
to strike out the speclflc rate. Tbo vote was
17 to 24 , four short of a quorum There was
seine delay In announcing the result owing
to the anxiety to secure a ijuonim , hut Mr.
Vtfll Inelsted on a speedy announcement , re
marking thnt the suffering country could not
wait while republican senators mustered a
quorum. When the want of a quorum was
announced Mr Vust derisively said :
"And this with the country Just wallowIng -
Ing and dying whHe the bill waits "
*
"Tho senator Is out of o-der , " Interposed
Mr. Chandler , Jocularly.
"And so Is the country , " added Mr. Gray
of Delaware
A call of the senate brought fifty-two sen
ators to the chamber , and Mr Vcst'B amend
ment was then rejected 21 to 20.
The consideration of the wool schedule was
completed at 11 o'clock. Mr Vest offered
a number of amendments , but was defeated
In each Instance , the schedule being adopted
as suggested by the Ilnanco committee.
The silk schedule was at once taken up.
The silk schedule precipitated quite a
lively debate , the weatern and coast sena
tors contending that the committee rates
were "excessive , prohibitive and burden
some. " They asserted the rates ran from
70 to 700 per cent. Jlcssrs. Jones , Vest ,
Mantle. White. Teller and Platt of Connecti
cut took part In the debate. The latter
held that the government figures showed
the rates to ruerage 75 per cent. Efforts to
reduce the committee rates were rejected.
Mr White then tried to limit the duties
to 200 per cent.
Mr. Mantle- appealed to h's "protection
friends" to accept this proviso , but Mr Platt
of Connecticut declined , saying It was a
move to embarraHS the whole bill.
Mr. AHUon declined , saying the assertion
that the rates reached 700 per cent was
merely a repetition of the unfounded asser
tlons on other schedules
Mr. Morgan of Alabama declared that the
tariff bill marked the entry of the United
States upon a fierce and relentless commer
cial warfare with the rest ot the world. He
regretted H , particularly as to Japan , Just
as It was joining the other commercial na
tlons. Ho would not outrage the sense of
fairness of the Japanese nation when It was
manifesting Its friendship by building Ito
war ships in American jards and showing
every evidence of cordiality. Mr. Morgan re
ferred Incidentally to Japan's protest against
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States , on which subject ho said ho thought
Japan had no possible ground of complaint.
It was unfortunate at this particular time
to have this nation feel this .animosity to this
tariff bill , although Mr. Morgan declared
there was not a nation from Mexico to Tur
key which did not know that the United
States was able to enter upon a war against
the commerce of the world.
Mr. White's amendment limiting the duties
to 200 per cent was rejected 23 to 28.
Paragraph 3S5 ( handkerchiefs , etc. ) was
agreed to aa reported , alto 3S6 ( bandings , etc )
with an amendment adding hat bind ngs ,
braids and fringes ; also 387 ( lacr ) , with an
amendment omitting the braids and ribbons ;
also 353 ( manufactured allk not othcrwUo
provided for ) Thla completed the fl Ik schcd.

ule.The
The tobacco schedule was then taken up ,
The first paragraph was materially modi
fied by Mr Allison , making the duty on
wrapper tobacco and filler tobacco when
mixed with more than IS per cent ot wrapper
tobacco , and all leaf tobacco , etc. , $1 75 per
pound , If stemmed J2 25 per pound. The1
balance ot the paragraph remains un
changed.
Mr. Vest said the controversy as to rates
was between the Connecticut Wrapper To
bacco company and the Sumatra Tobacco
company. The desire was to shut out the
Sumatra , one tobacco man having said be
fore the ways and rnoina committee that he
would favor n duty of 1.000 per cent If necea-
sary to prevent Ita Importation
Mr Hawley said other states thin Con
necticut were Interested In the Industry of
wrapper tobacco.
Mr Mills of Texas declared that the amok
Ing of a good cigar had become a Irxst art
In the United States ns a remit of the
cnormoua and unconscionable taxation on
cigars These taxes ct'stoms and revenues
had driven small makcra out ot the Inislntra
until the trade was In the hands of great
concerns Ho Insisted that tobacco was not
a luxury but was an aitlclc of common use
to bo fouml In the humblest cabin
Paragraph 210 was then agreed to us re
ported , with the changes Indlcitcd ; also para
graph 211 In paragraph 212 covering all
tobacco not otherwise provided for , the com
mittee rate of 40 cents per pound was In
creased to Go cents per pound A similar In
crease from 40 to 65 cents per pound will be
made on snuff , etc , (213) ( ) This completed
the tobacco schedule
At G o'clock the senate held an executive
session and then adjourned

WASHINGTON' , Juno 23 This afternoon
the governor of Florida telegraphed Presi
dent McKlnley that a riot Is threatened at
key West , and asked him that In view of
the distance of Key West from the main
land and the dltllculty In getting state troOi\ ?
to the scene of trouble In time to bo of nn >
avail , to Instruct the commander of the
federal troops there' to act The president
replied to the governor , citing the law In
the case , and asked for particulars Secre
tary Alger has telgraphcd the commandant
of the post at Key West , asking for tele
graphic advices giving the exact situation
The action to bo taken will depend on the
response to these Inqullles.
Tim trouble has arisen from an attempt
to Ijnch a negto accused ot assault upon a
whlto woman The negro was given a pre
liminary hearing before a , ju tlco and dur
ing the proceedings a man named Pendleton
arose In court and asked If there were not
whlto men enough prctent to Ijiich the
prisoner. Intense excitement ensued , but
th ? authorities succeeded In landing tholr
prisoner In jail. Knots of men fathered in
tbo streets and threats of lynching were
freely made. Later In the afternoon , while
Pendleton was passing down the street , he
was attacked by a mob of ncgiocs. but was
rescued unhirmed. This Intensified the feel
ing , which ran high on both sides , and fears
of a race riot caused the local militia com
pany to assemble at tholr armory. While
they were not ordered Into service , the )
voluntarily slept at the armory.
The request of the governor for the as-
slstanco of the federal troops was discu ed
nt a conference at the whlto house today.
There were present besides the president
Secretary Alger , Attorney General McKenna
and Attorney I3elck. The conference lasted
until 11 10 Secretary Alger stated there had
been nothing further lecelved from Key
West bearing on the situation , and In the
absence ot any Information no action bad
been taken on tha governor's request. There
are now two companies of artillery and one
or more of Infantry stationed at that post.

VASIUNCIT.'N. June1 25 ( Special Corre
spondent : " . ) The advance slicots of tlio con
sular reports for Juno'a'rc devoted to a very
learned article upon the beet sugar crisis In
Europe. The report 1ms been prepared with
great carp by Henry 0. Morris , American
consul at Gbcnt , and Heats of thf proposed
legislation In Holglutn relative to beet sugar.
It gives a translation of a petition to the
UulRlmi Parliament , signed by all of tbo EUgai
nianufacturerB of that country , requesting
certain modlllcatlciis In tlio U'glslntlon now
existing relative to the sugar Industry. ThH
petition vvns adopted at a meeting of the
trade Tcbri ary 21 last and presents a re-
vlovv , not only of tbo sugar Intel cats of
Belgium , but also of their goncial condition
In nil other European countries of pro'uc-
tlon , and foi that reason due consideration
for Us authority Is of considerable * Impor
tance. Mr. Morris In illsctiaalni ; the peti
tion , which Is viry exhaustivesajs thnt to
understand the proposed change In IJclglum
legislation relative to sugar vvo must l.novv
that under the present sjstcm the govern
ment annually fixes a certain ijuan-
tlty cf sugar to bo produced , and like-
vvlso a certain gross sum of $1 1GS.OOO as the
tut CM of sugar The quantity of export being
limited , the surplus of sugir manufactured
must be Hold In Ilelglutn This surplus , ac
cording to Mr Morris , has been bo largo In
recent ji" * ' " that the price him fallen to about
fl 50 per hundredweight les * thin the
cost of manufacture. It Is to avoid this losa
that the manufacturers are determined to pay
the sums asscwed against them uncondition
ally. The rest of this advance sheet of con
sular reports treats of the effect of the Ger
man sugar law by Julius Mutli , American
consul at Madgeberg , and sugar beet plantIng -
Ing In Gcnr.nny by Frank 11. Moore , Ameri

In view of the fact that the people of
Prance have joined \\lth other Huropeau
nations In % Igoroualy protesting against the
American tariff laws because of the alleged
discrimination against French products , the
report from Consul General Vlfqualn at
