Washington, D C., July 50.—For the first time since the tariff bill has been in coufereuce there were signs of wavering in the strong line that stood behind the Senate bill. “Sen ate bill or none,” has been repeated during the day, but bas been: less fre- | quently, and with less emphasis tban heretofore. The ouly explanation for the brief couference today is the fact the House conferrees feel the situation is changing in their favor There are many reasons advanced to show this statement has a good foundation. It is known the mails and the telegraph are bringing to the Democratic Senators urgent ap- peals to passa bill which will not favor the trusts and which will be in line with the demands of the party platform. In fact, these requests upon the Senators are indorsemente of the position of the President and the house in the main points of dif- ference. That these telegrams are having effect cannot be denied, and have caused the Senators who are most insistent upon the Senate bill as regards coal, iron ore and sugar | no little concern. | The House members also find | considerable comfort in their analysis of the speeches made by the Demo cratic Senators when the conference disagreement was before the Senate iu which they find that but one Democrat besides Mr. Hill made any pledge of his vote, and that was Senator Caffery, who declared if the | Louisiana sugar interests were not protected he would not vote for the bill. None of the other Senators, it \is claimed, burned the bridges be hind them declared absolutely that they would vote against the bill if | the one eighth differential on sugar | was not retained, or if the duty on | iron ore and coal was stricken out. | Narrowly Escaped Drowning.

Several Wisconsin Towns Are Wiped Gut of Existence. Forty Mitlion Feet of Lumber Destroy. | ed at Mason. Ashland, Wie, July 27.—Forest fires are producing great suffering and loss iuivughout the vicinity, and railroad companies have never before experienced On the tral railroad it is impossible to move trains. Phillips, the headquarters of the Johu R. Davis Lumber com- pany, a mavufacturing town of 2,500 is destroyed by fire and only a few buildings remain standing. A dispatch just received from Fifield, a small station this side of Phillips, say that 500 women and children from Phillips are in the woods there without shelter. They sent a re- quest for food and supply at Fifield is very short. The train that start- ed from here this evening was oblig- ed to return as the bridges are totally destroyed a few miles south. Communication with Fifield is now shut off and it is feared that town is also on fire Along the Omaha line the fires are raging with terrible fierceness. Shore's crossing, a little village 8 miles west of Ashland, was destroy- ed this afternoon, not a building re- mained standing, aud the homeless families were brought to Ashland. The railroad bridges near there were destroyed, and at 4 o'clock this afternoon a fast Omaha freight and sixteen loaded curs were entirely burned. Both the engineer and fireman were injured, and the brake- men are missing. Loss to cars and such damage from fires Wisconsin cen- freight many thousand dollars. Ma- son, a small town south of the Oma- ha line, caught fire this afternoon. The White River Lumber company’s mill, with 40,000,000 feet of lumber in the yards, was destroyed, and at 6 o'clock, the latest report received here says the entire town was threat- ened. The Omaha bridge across the White river at Mason is burned. Railroad officials say the loss at Mason is fully $1,009,000, with $250,000 insurance. Howesteaders in the outlying dis tricts are all fleeing into the nearest towns, leaving their homes to the fury of the flamer. So far no loss of life is reported. The fire depart- ment is carefully guarding the out- side limits of Ashland and the city |is not in any immediate danger. News Hurley states that town has been enveloped in a dense cloud of smoke all day, with fires on nearly every side. from FIGHLING FOR THEIR LIVES. Medford, Wis, July 27.—What isknown as Powell's Mills, eight | miles west of here, sent word early \this morning asking for assistance jon account of forest fires. The hand engine was dispatched at once with jteams and one hundred men went jto the rescue, and arrived none too soon to save the mill and residence for the time being. Small farmers in the vicinity moved their families and what little they could gather on a wagon and came to the mill site. } For two hovrs this afternoon 150 | men, women and children were con- Piere, S.

Lane Adair. FIRST DOOR SOUTH OF FARMERS BANK. A Choice Between Evils, Senators Vest. Cockrell, Jones, Harris and Gray are genuine tariff reformers. They believe implicitly } in the Democratic principle of free raw materials. They are abreast with the idea that in legislation the domi- | nant purpose should be the greatest good to the greatest number. In this | they are in full accord with the views | of President Cleveland, who is like | wise a thorough Democrat and patri | | there is no difference between these earnest, honest and able Democratic | leaders. i In the preparation of the tariff bill Senators Vest and Jones of Ar- | kansas have borne the bulk of the | labor. At the outset of their efforts | they found such wide and irreconcil- | able differences between Senators | | that the first impulse was to abandon | the effort as av arduous and hopeless jtask But at the expense of such | effort as is rarely given in public life | |they finally succeeded in producing | a measure that secured the necessary | votes to pass it through the Senate. | In that measure there were features that were objectionable to each of | them. But through it all there was that spirit of reform that commend. jed it as infinitely better than the McKinley bill. The Times believes in genuine tariff reform. It prefers President Cleveland’s interpretation of that | principle to Gorman’s. But if Presi- | ed, Mr. Gorman’s bill is better than | the McKinley law. It will save the’ people millions of dollars and guar- | antee another Democratic Congress, | with such increased strength in the | Senate as will enable the pacty to | command Mr. Gorman’s fidelity or | that the Maryland Senator bas held | ,the party up, it is better to yield | to him temporari!y.—K.
