The long fight is practically orer, and Cuban reciprocity is dotv a sure winner, witli many votes to spare in the house. The SO per cent bill will be reported to the House this week, snapartv measure ef the majority, and will in due time be passed, and it will ot he surprising if the vote should be unanimous. But, true to human nature, the vietors are not satisfied. Having assured the passing of the 90 par cent bill by the House, they at once began reaching oat 1 or a greater redactiea in the Senate, and they are now claiming that they will ! * it, and the talk of individual i Senators seen to give the claim a substantial basis. The plan now contemplated is to have the Sensta mnlro t Ka ra^n/?i inn i n tKn tariff 40 er 50 per cent, so am to ! leave a wide margin for compro-t mise when the hill gets in conference, and they hope that it will not he lees than 90 per cent when it passes and goes to the Presi dent. New that the correspondence between the President, the Secretary of War, and the General in command of the army, concerning the latier's plun for pacifying the Philippines is before the House, in response to a resolution adopted last week, it is plain enough to any unprejudiced person that it wonld hare ssrved a better pur pose to have lr?t it in the archives of the War Department. The Senate Military comraittoe it wrestling with a problem, the solving of wbieh may carry h art- ; burning to nearly GOO officers, given brevet promotions for gal lantry in the war with Spian and in the Philippines. The point has been raised bv members of the committee that all the breve nominations now before the committee are illegal, hecauue the law under wbich they were made nays io unmistasahle language that they shall be made "during the war.1' The war with Spain has been long over and the War Department and the army officer* claim that there ia no war in the Philippines. The only question involved is one of law. The members ef the cemmittee would gladly eoaira all the brevet t leaiaatieas if convinced that it earn he dene legally. Nebedy in Washington expeets j anything substantial to some out ef the investigatiea by a spteittl , committee ef the House ef the sharges made by Capt. Christmas i ef Denmark, who claims from; t that government a commission of j, f#00,000 oa the price to be paid , far the Danish Wait Indies, i j which ha lays is to he uaed to | j pay for bribing American Con-l< gresamen, newspaper# and law- ,, yera, although tha member# of j i tha committee will try their beat; | ta lcara everything that ia to ba learned about what Christmas did I< whan ha was in Washington. It j j ia tha aanarnl balinf in ? 9 - ""ft , 1 ten that Christmas fell into the', hands of a #*ng of uncropalous | j man who made him believe that, j | they were authorized to evil the1, influence of men and newspaper* |i and that without their assistance , I be enuld do nothing, although : | some believe that Christ nee wni worse man thnn any he met in ' t Wasington Officials ef the I)e M partmeat efbtate do not hesitate to !, ay that the statement of Chris-'j mas is s((haseieN?l enmitignted" , enseless fabrication.

J Germany has bean given a hint J that ITnele Bam has taken off his i reception elothes and returned to his business duties by the seanL ? official publication dealing with Secretary Wilson's statement to ( the cabinet ceneerning 0ernao ' * discrimination against American j food products sod eur ability to || pay back in kind if so disposed | and ef tbe approval ef his state- " uients by tbe President and the t other mombers of the cabinet. I The paragraph dealing with this gentle hint to Germany was given ' to tbe press by the President's . secretary. Members of the Cabi- | net say it is not intended to be n ] throat, but only a reminder that it j is a poor rule that will not work both ways. j i A number of Western Senators 1 and Representatives who called at tbe White House to n*k the President s aid in pushing the Irrigation bill, whicli has pass-d the Senate, * thiough the House, discovered that trie President was so string y opposed to the hill as it stands that he would veto it if sent to him. His objection is to that clause ot the measure wh ch gives tbe several States control of the irrigation canal*. He favors irrigation, but thinks it should* be kept under Federal control. Sale if Fertilizes i J Verj Heavy This Year ? notwithstanding the Late Spring J the Privilege Tax Receip.s 1 Are Nearly as Heavy as 1 Last Year. * The Stale has received from the privilege tax $64,828.55 since the first of the year against ' 76.950.08 for the sam? tim? C last year. Thia would appear to he a falling off in the amount of * fertilizer being used, but last . year the sales were phenomenal. 1 For the same time in 1900 the C tales amounted to $63,937 60, C which is less than for the first 3 ? noniha of this year. Therefore; it will he seen that the sales this year are about on a par with the * tales ef an arrrnge year. The totul amount fer last year from tb'e tax was $84,073.43, c ?howing that hut $7,006 came in ifter the first of April. If the 1 4moont is yet to be added to the income for 1902, the receipts for this year may approximate $72,300 Thia is about $12,000 short >f last year, but is ample for j Ulemson college ? running ex- I pen new. n The State exacts u license of v 2.*> cents on every ton of manu- h factored fertilizer, on th? ground d thul such a f?* is noce8*nr> in t r<ler to pay the expense of mak- s inu cheintcul examination of the e manufactured product. The in- t L'oitio from this ho nice is piven to v Uleinson cnllepe and is always ?n amount larpo enoiiph for tho ne.rc-fdtieft of the cnllepe. f One of the officials in the Stale treasurer\ office snid yesterday n that the farmers would net need ro much c<?mmoiv?al fci til /< r if if they understood the adaptation 1 of soils to the u?e of fertilizer. iiil In a Ins!, 111 The seal of doom has be* md prices once more conic evel.
