WashingtonJune 19. In the. senate today the "flax schedule, of the tariff bill was taken up with little delay, the pending1 question being" on Senator Al lison's motion-to increase the rate on thread, twine, etc, made of flax, hemp or ramie. ' . J .' Senator Vest,' of Missouri, and Sena tor Jones, of Arkansas, contested the proposed change, arguing that ( the rates were excessive. j Senator Allison's amendment . was agreed 'to 29 to 19, Senator McEnery voting with the republicans , ' s Senator Allison moved to increase the rates on yarns, making- the rate 7 cents instead of 6 cents a pound on single yarns in the gray, not finer than eight lea ' , : ..- tC--- -V ' t i ' '-5 f Senator Gray called Tor an explana tion of 'the increase. He said it "would not do for the republicans to sit still without saying a word, simply because they had the necessary majority. Senator Sewall said the Increase had been decided upon to compensate for the increase in the rate on - the raw material demanded by the "western people." ' "Very well," said Senator Gray, that is more light than we have heretofore had. Go on." "That's enough," interjected two or three republican senators. In conclusion, Senator Gray made an argument for free raw material the necessity of r which, he said, was illus trated by the action of the finance com mittee in this case of linen thread. The amendments were agreed to without division. The committee amendments to tax gill netting were agreed to. . ; ; Senator Vest took exception to the in crease on floor mattings, sayinsr the duties as proposed would range from 40 per cent, to 105, whereas they had here tofore been free. He moved to strike out the entire section. Senator Pettigrew said the commit tee amendments were evidently aimed at the Japanese matting which" could not be produced here. The purpose therefore,' evidently was to force the patronage of the American linoleum trust for. the manufae-frurw - a.n . Inferior- an d - different -article. This was not an infant industry. The rates were prohibitive' and the entire article af fected was one in which the- poorer classes were especially interested. He supported Senator VesFs amendment, as did Senators Jones, of Arkansas, and White, of California. On a roll call, the senate accepted Senator Vest's amendment striking out paragraph 330, in regard to floor mat tings, the vote standing 25 to 22. Sen ators Carter and Hansbrough straight republicans; Mantle, Pettigrew and Tel ler, silver republicans, voted with the democrats on this motion. ' The result created a slight stir in the T chamber as it was the first substantial triumph of the opposition to the tariff bill. The effect is to restore floor mat tings manufactured from straw or other vegetable substance to the- free list. These include the Japanese, Chi nese and Indian mattings. An attempt was made to free oil cloth as , well, but was lost. , The s. amendments, to the paragraphs on cuffs, colars and shirts were received without opposition. Paragraphs 341 (jute grain bags arid burlaps) and 342 (bagging for cotton, gunny-cloth, etc.,) were considered to gether and aroused some discussion which was based on the motion by-Senator Pettus to strike out. ; . ? Senator White contended . that the proposed duty on j.ut;e bags would cost the farmers of the Pacific coast $500,000 -per annum. , He asserted that the duty on wheat s was. ; a 4elusion. and that in putting tkese bags on the free list, an opportunity was fiffoMed to do the farmer a substantial' service.

I- s , Excitement Over Mlea Mining. (Special to The Messenger.) .Haleigh, N. C, June 19. State Labor Commissioner Hamrick returned today from his second tour of Inspection of mills" and mines.' He visited fifty mills in Alexander, Rowan, Cabarrus, Iredell, Guilford, Davidson, Union, Burke and McDowell counties. He has now visited 100 mills. He finds that in the counties above named there are no new mills under construction, but there Is a large increase in the number of spindles. He finds the greatest excitement ever known regard ing mica mining, this being due to the proposed, tariff duty. This interest is very great in Cleveland, Burke, McDowell and Buncombe. One man in Cleveland Is moving his dwelling, very fine mica hav ing been found under it. No monazite is now being mined, but people are waiting for the duty to be imposed. There are plans to renew tin mining at Kings mountain. Not much gold mining is being done," save in a few sections. In McDowelJ some new shafts are being sunk. The Fremont Stakes.

Vast. British Empire Represents d i Through ' Distinctive Citizenship Pro gramme of Proceedings for Each Day of ! the "Week All Arrangements Completed. London, June 19. Never in the history of England ha9 London , so. strikingly shown itself the heart of the world as it does tonight the eve of the jubilee: At all times the busiest hive of the human race, tonight London is crowded to its intermost door by a stupendous gathering of strangers representing nearly every race under the sun and nearly every coun try found upon the map. The common ob ject of this crowd participation in the greatest historical pageant yet twitnessed in thT history of the British empire gives tone and complexion to every minute of time, to every thought and action. There Is nothing In men's minds at this hour, from 'the highest prince In the pal aces to the lowest sneak thief in the streets but the jubilee. J -It is impossible to pass along any of the crowded thoroughfores without re marking the two predominant notes of the occasion, tne world's uesire to honor Queen Victoria and, the proud wish of her subjects; in doing eo to impressively dem onstrate-the strength and vastness of her empire. The streets, hotels and stately mansions of the West End are crowded with the great who have already come to honor the queen, while barracks and bivouacs in and around the .are thronged with soldiers in every unl- ionn Known to tJritlsn administration from the head-hunting Dyacks of the Borneo police, the mounted men of Aus tralia, ' India and Africa, fort soldiers from the West Indies, Zaptichs from Cy prus, to the stalwart representatives of military government under "Our Lady cf the Snows." Suggestively, it is a rare kaleidoscopic picture of races, men and creeds, a vivid panorama of the march ot that empire upon which, as raniel Web ster said, "the sun never sets." The air is alive with expectancy, thousands upon thousands of flags and banners float in the evening breeze, the decorations which have easily cost 1,000.000 of English money are in place, myriads of lights are glow ing or stand ready for their flame Lon don smiles in self-content. V THE FOREIGN ENVOYS. The list of notabilities, guests of the queen, who are gathered in London to night to offer congratulations from the nations of the earth, is long and imposing. It Includes, on behalf of the United States, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, .proprietor of The New York Tribune, with General Nelson A. Miles to represent the army and Real Admiral J. N. Miller the navy, with their aides. ?The sister republic. France, has sent an extraordinary mission headed by General DaKroust, grand chancellor of the Legion of I Honor and grandnephew of NapcoffamouseneralMarshaljaa vdust. Two generals of division accom pany the marshal, one of whom especial ly represents President Faure, together with a staff of brilliantly uniformed offi cersL and M. Crozier, chief of the proto col. Monarchial Europe has accredited special repr,esentatives of its sovereigns accompanied by a regiment of princes, dukes and titled people. The emperor of Germany has for his alter egoi Prince Albert of Prussia, prince regent of Bruns wick, with a staff of eight general offi cers. Integral portions of the kaiser's empire are represented by Duke Albert of Wurttemburg, Prince Rupert of Ba varia, grandson of the prince regent and a lineal descendant of the Stuart dynasty; Prince Frederick Agustus, Duke of Sax ony; the duke and duchess of Saxe-Co-burg and Gotha, accompanied by the hereditary prince and Princess Beatrice. The Austro-Hungarian empire is present in the person of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the throne. He is accompanied by a princely entour age, and Italy contributes their royal highnesses, the prince and princess of Naples and a suite of ten- all of whom are tonight at Chesterfield house that house of famous memories. Turning to the minor powers and coun tries further afield, Sweden and Norway have an interesting representative in tall Prince Eugene, fourth son of King Oscar. Roumania appears in. the person of its ruler, Prince Ferdinand, accompanied by his. princess and their suite; Bulgaria its prince and princess. - From the Iberian peninsula there Tiaa arrived i H: R. H. the duke of Oporto, brother of King Carlos, and from Spain the duke of Sotomayer. Switzerland's sympathy in the reloicing is shown too by M. Boucart, a former president of the republic. The Orient, loving a pageant as Orient als do, contributes bountifully to the bril liancy of? the occasion in envoys whose every appearance is a delight to the thronging' crowds. ' Countries to the south of the United States do not swell the list of the titled, but-they are eminently represented. , Finally, 1 though no longer a temporal sovereignj Leo the XIII., has sent to rep- rpsspnt t)A- Hnlv . Prima n m XfVnef trnnr Cesare Sambucetti, titular archbishop of wonnin ana canon oi St. Mary Majoris. THE. EMPIRE'S ENVOYS. ; Turning! from those tonight in London who have-come to testify the homage of the world- beyond British boundary lines to those who represent that empire within them the- array of envoys is no less im posing. - r o n less ; picturesque, while far more pregnant with meaning to the man in. the r.treet for they typify the vast ness and variety -of the empire to which he belc-srs; Easily foremost In this group stands the Hon. , Wilfred Laurier premier of the Dominion, who. with Mrs. Laurler and the other colonial premiers axe guests or ner majesty at the Hotel Cecil, before the doors of which as at all hotels and houses where royal guests are aomiciieoeoidiers or the queen are post-? ed on sentry duty. r .1; ' j ., , THE INDIAN ENVOYS. '. vHardly less.; important, and certainly mare-picturesque, --are the envoys from India, princes of feudatory-states, men of strange titles, of dark-skined, immutable faces, clad In costumes of color and gold ever emblamtic of the East. Just who and what they are is hardly known out side the India office, but they are all re splendent. - -. - l ' , HER MAJESTY. The queen is resting quietly tonight at Windsor, in excellent health-and spirits, considering -the work of the past month, settling and debating a whole dictionary of details connected with the arduous his torical week to come For no arrange ment, however trifling, in the programme of the next seven days but what has re ceived royal sanction and consideration. Not merely the sorting and disposition of innumerable guests for royal functions, hours of coming and going, bestowal of honors and. orders, and the like, but the endless details regarding reception of ad dresses, memorials and -drifts. .The ad dresses -that, are to he , presented by , the home secretary are from every conceiva ble body in severy imaginable' part - of the empire. . t , . ;,':-'.-.. . ' --- THE QUEEN'S PROGRAM1IE. ; 'The jubilee programme to which her majesty has given ber consent covers the seven days beginning tomorrow though all envoys are guests ot the queen until Monday, June 28th. The programme be gins appropriately ; on r: tomorrow Ascen sion day the sixtieth anniversary of that far June morning when as day broke the archbishop of Canterbury and i the lord chamberlain announced to the hastily awakened princess that during the silent watches of the night the mantle of mar jesty had fallen upon her!

The prospective weather on jubilee days, the procession day. Tuesday, especially, and how to get to the seats from which to view the procession. The - weather re cently has been boisterous, but the latest reports show that the disturbance is pass ing away eastward. A storm on Tuesday would almost amount to a calamity and would spoil the entire show. The ma jority of the immense stands along . the route are quite uncovered. The transport to the-seats is a serious question. There is an absolute corner in all kinds of ve hicles. Since early morning .shoals of royal per sonages -and foreign special missions have been pouring into London, this being the date from which they : are the guests of the government. The situation is complicated by a furious gale in the channel, which is upsetting all calculations. Ex-Empress Frederick of Germany, who started an the royal yacht iVictoria and Albert? from Flushing, was obliged to put back. Each royal party comes in a special boat and on a special train. - Americans generally are to the fore In the jubilee. Mrs. John W. Mackay will not entertain extensively on account of being in mourning, but her sister, Count ess Telfener, and one of the officers of the pope's guard, who accompanies the papal nuncio, are staying with Mrs. Mackay at her residence on Carlton House terrace. William W. Astor will entertain the vis iting colonial premiers at Cliveden next week. Among the prominent Americans who are enjoying the jubilee festivities are M. H. DeYoung, proprietor of The San Francisco Chronicle, who, with his fam ily, is staying at the Hotel Cecil and will witness the procession from the hotel's stand; General E. B. Grubb and wife, of New Jersey; John Shults, of New York, and George Raum, of California. Colonel John Hay, United States ambas sador, the staff of the embassy, Rear Ad miral J. N. Miller, Commander H. Emory, chief of Armiral Miller's staff, and Cap tain Cook, of the United States cruiser Brooklyn, have been given seats in the St. Paul's churchyard for the ceremony cn Tuesday. Lieutenant J. C. Colwell, U. S. N., naval attachee of the United States embassy, will ride in the procession with the queen's equerries. After the proces sion Colonel Hay will entertain the prom inent Americans. His dinner to Whitelaw Reid, the United States special envoy to the Jubilee, is fixed for June 29th. Rear Admiral iller gave a reception today on board t. t cruiser Brooklyn. Admiral Sir Newell Salmon, the British naval com mander at Portsmouth, and many other British and foreign admirals and com manders were present. - - By command, this afternoon the, queen received all the Indian officers, who were in full uniform. j Tonight, after a quiet family .dinner, at which several sons and daughters of the queen were present, her majesty at 9 o'clock went to . a window of the castle to witness the military tattoo, in which 400 guardsmen, carrying naphtha torches, took part. , The scene was a very pretty one.
