Wasfilhg'ion May 25. The Ilepubll oan caucus yesterday emphasised the fact that there is a wide dlversrstice of opinion among the Republican sena tors on rates of duty fixed on til var ious schedules of the tariff bill; The senators were In caucus nearljr four hours. The only official anrMfUnce men that was made after the ofcucus adjourned was that It was deoHfed to appoint three senators, in addltwn to the Republican members of the finance committee, who are to act as Com mittee to assist In getting the tariff bill through the senate. It waa gen erally stated, however, that an Agree ment had been reached that itliere should be no set speeches on tm bill from the Republican side, exceuF that of Senator Aldrioh, which Is belW-de-Uvered today. , A resolution, or memorandum, offer ed by Senator Burrows was agreed to by those present, which sets fortfi that the sense of those present, there nfct be ing, a full attendance of the oatVous. was that Republican senators mfving amendments to offer should p'rtsent them to the Republican members of tho finance committee, and it; the amendments are approved by the com mittee they are to be offered In the'aen ate. If disapproved the senators-.pre senting them are to have the riant to submit them to the Republican catycUB, which Is to be called upon each aqfied ule If amendments to It are proposed. The finance committee is to hold ses sions each evening for the purpose of hearing propositions from Republican senators, and to decide upon tlie ad visability of presenting such amend ments in the senate. The object of this proposition IB to prevent the Republicans from dividing upon various schedules which mlgrjt be presented. The necessity of this ar rangement, was developed by tho de bate and the various contentions of senators. In the early part of the caucus Sen ator Aldrlch was called upon tor an explanation of the bill nnd some of tho, amendments. During the remarks' Mr. Cullom was called on for a statement on the sugar schedule, over which there had been so much controversy. The explanation presented was largely technical, but the senators who heard him understood that the house sched ule would .largely exclude the coarse and low grades from Java, the I'hllllp- plne Islands and other points. The pro tection In the senate bill was 7C per cent, and equalized the high protection on the low grades and high grades, The effect of the house schedule would be to shut out the lower and cheaper grades of sugar, the system of com pound duties presented by the senate bill being for the purpose of making this equality. There was some discussion upon the length of time the bill should-be under discussion In the senate. Senator Mason suggested that as soon as the opening speeches were made a move should be taken toward having a vote on the bill In two weeks. It was decid ed to ask that after the debate had fun along for a week the senate begin its sessions at 11 o'clock and sit until 6:30, and having evening sessions from 8 to 11. Pebate on the various schedules con sumed the time of the caucus. A great deal of opposition was developed to the Increased tax on beer and duty on tea. Senators Piatt of New York, Hanna of Ohio and Spooner of Wiscon sin were especially vigorous In their opposition to the Increased tax on beer. It was pointed out that the Democrats had already stated their opposition to his tax, and would make an effort to have the senate committee amendment eliminated. They thought It would be wise to have an arrangement effected which would relieve Republican sena' tors of embarrassment. It was deter mined that efforts should be made to secure -the revenue both from beer and tea by a stamp tax, which would ac complish the same result. Western senators refered to the wool schedules. Senator Warren, of Wy, oming, appearing as the spokesman for the wool growers of the welt, said that the duties proposed by the committeo were, in his Judgment, inadequate, and he thought there should be Increases on the lines of amendments proposed by western senators. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, spoke against the duly on hides, sav lug he did not see how he could avoid voting for an amendment which pro' posed placing hides on the free list, This statement raised, a storm among western men, who said that if such method was proposed they would be compelled to vote for placing certain articles on the free list or for reduc ing the duty upon them. They did not expect that Democrats would yota with them to Increase duties. The west' erners announced that to settle with the eastern men who voted to reduce duties on their products they would vote to reduce the duty on articles which their people purchased and did not produce. -It was this state of at fairs that brought forth the proposl tlon of Senator Burrows to submit proposed changes to the Republtoan members of the finance committee and then to the caucus. There was no talk ot bolting and no senator said h would vote against the bill as a whole. It on the matter of schedules that thgy disagreed. The question of abrogating the Ila walian treaty caused a lively debate. Senator Aldrlch stated that the com mlttee Intended to bring in an amend ment to this portion of tlie bill. Sena tor Frye opposed the abrogation 1 the strongest possible terms, while Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, made vigorous speech in suphort of the com mltteee amendment, declaring that the ENQLASD'S QRA0I0US QUEEN.

They were the over tures to the grand performances next week of the diamond Jubilee that cele brates the 60th year of her reign over Great Britain. The sovereign has re ceived scores of congratulatory mes sages from all tlie rulers of the civil ised world am from many provinces and potentates. in June, inn, tne arcnuisnop 01 Can terbury nd three officers ot the privy council rode out to Kensington to tell the little Princess Victoria that she was queen of England. She was then only IS. years old, a slender, graceful and Interesting girl, about whom little waB known, for she had been reared In strict seclusion by her mother, the Duchess of Kent. Her fathei-, Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, was the fourth son of George III, and when he died, six months after her birth, he left his widow and child in straitened circumstances. So poor was he during the year preceding his death that he borrowed the money to bring hlB wife back to England, so that their child might be born on British soli. Her mother was Victoria Maria Louisa, princess dowager of Lelnlngen, and a sister of Leopold, Prince ot Saxe-Co burg, afterward king of Belgium. In 1810 Queen Victoria was married to her cousin. Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg, who died In 1861. Four sons and five daughters were born to the couple. l'uilltivo'H Hfttirt to Uscnpo. Atlantic City , May 25.

He. however, made his destination Pleasantville, five miles from this place. From there he took a train for Philadelphia. Shortly after his departure word was received from the Russian consul at New York re questing that he be detained. The dis patch stated that Couplln was wanted for robbing the bank at Cachlff, Po land, of 30,000 roubles. Word was sent to Camden to apprehend him upon his arrival there, which was done.

A special meeting of tbe School Beard was held last evening for the transaction of gen eral business with the following members in attendance: Messrs. Kd wards, Lee, Devltt, Connors, Hanna, Ogden, Morgan, Higglns, O'Brien, Bangh, James, Williams and Prcsl- Ldent Price. Director Treslso was absent. Tlie most important part of tlie business was the election of a teacher to fill the vacancy on which the Board was deadlocked for several weeks. Last night's voting re sulted iu the election of Maitiu II. Devltt on the fourth ballot. On first and second Inlloto Mr. Devitt received 6 votes and Miss Annie Stein 7. Director Edwards held the deciding vote and cast it ou the first ballot for Miss G. C. Mulr aud on the second ballot for Miss Gertie Levine. Director Baugli, whose name Is always the first ou the roll call of the Citizens' members, evidently wanted 10 see if Director Edwards was will ing to stand by Miss Levine and he voted for heron the thin! ballot, but when his name was called Director Edwards went lck to Miss Muir. On this ballot Mr. Devitt aud Miss Stein received six votes each. After tho result was announced Director Morgan moved to postpone the election until tlio next meeting of the- Board. Secretary llauna moved that tlie election be postponed indefinitely. The amendment was lost 011 a vote of 7 to il, Director Edwards not voting, aud the original motion was declared lost ou a tie vote of 7 to 7. The election wus then proceeded with. Directors O'Brien, Hanna and Sullivan voted for Devltt and Director Bangh also cast bis vote for I)eitt. Directors Ogden, Price and Williams followed with thoir votes for Miss Stein. "Devitt," re plied Director Ed wards when his name was called. Directors Morgan, Leo and James voted for Miss Stein aud Directors Connors, Higglns and Dovitt voted for Devitt, leav ing tho result Dovitt, 8; Stein, 0, aud the former was declared elected. Some surprise was expressed outside after the result became known and somepeople wore disposed to criticise Director Bnugli for going over with the Democratic members, hut it is explained that his action was a rt of a coup to give Director Ed wards the ohauce it is alleged ho sought. It was evident that tlie lattor would not vote with tho seven Citi zens members on any candidate they might pelect, as shown by ills desertion of Miss Lovino when Director Baugli cast his ballot for that candidato on tho third ballot. It was also known that tho six Democratic members wore solid for Dovitt aud nothing could shako nuy of them from that position. Sucli being the case, it was decided that, rather than have a continued deadlock, there would bo more satisfaction in finding out if Director Edwards would elect Devitt if he got tlie chance. Accordingly Director ltaugh gave him the chance, and he took it. The olectiou of trusteesfor tlie public library was postponed until the next regular meeting. An invitation to send a committee to Bead ing to witness tho working of the system of teaching music in the public schools of that city was accepted and Misses Dengler and Loogan and Superintendent Cooper were granted a day's leave of absence to make the visit. The Peck-Williamson Company sent in a communication asking for $20t, claimed as iKilance due on contract for tlie new White street school building heating apiwratus. The Board instructed the secretary to notify the company that after deducting freight aud other charges but $78 is due the company. and that as payment of that balance might be construed as acceptance of the work as completed, the Board would withhold pay ment until it decides that the plant is com plete. Superintendent Cooper made the following monthly report : Monthly enrollment Boys, 1,288; girls, 1377; total, 2G05. Daily at tendanceBoys, 1111; girls, 1181; total, 8268.

The committee ou teachers and salaries re ported that iu tlie matter of II. C. Hooks nnd M. D. Maloue a settlement satisfactory to all parties concerned had been reached. Tlie committee, also recommended that the secre tary notify all school teachers not to punish pupils too severely, but send them to the superintendent, or suspend them. Tlie re port was accepted.
