Aud when, in the judgment of the President ofthe United States, a sufficient num- ber of nations shell have — entered into such international arrangement, be shall declare the ratio so fixed to be the exist- mg ratio in the United States, The President is to appoint not less tian three nor more than five commissioners to aticnd such conference on the part of the United States and who are to receive | $2,500 and their reasonable expenses.

Mrs. Evans’ Midnight Assailant Not Yet Discovered. The police have found no clue to the mys- terious midnight intruder in Mra, E house, 614 F sti t southwest, at an early hour As statedin Tuz Star yesterday, Sergt. Smith and Officer Hutehin- son were the first to arrive at the house after hearing Mrs. Evans’ sereams, Officer Hutchinson said to a Stan reporter today thatas soon ashe rapped on the rear gate Mr. Kubn, the fireman of No. 4 engine house, who has rooms in Mrs. Evans’ house, aduitted him, and ashe entered the yard he noticed a window on the ground floor wide open, with the shutters thrown back and not closed, as stated, floor were also wide open, and it would have been quite an easy matter for the man to leave the house before Mr. Kubn was aroused, ‘Yhe officer is certain that the co: floor was saturated with chloroform and that a strong odor of chloroform pervaded the house when he reached it, Mr. Kuhn states that he was awakened by the screams and hurried as quickly as possible outto render any assistan not catch even a glance of the man who had made the trouble, etective McDevitt, who lives next door, at on the night of July 4 some unknown person forced an entrance into his house, but was frightened away by his unexpected re- | turn, Cruiser San Francisco aad Her Guns, ‘The new cruiser San Francisco, built by the Union Iron Works of the city which gave ite name to the vessel, will be tried some time this mouth, and every indication goes to show that she will develop sufficient speed to place her among the fastest war ships afloat, ‘The orduance shops in this city | £1,600, two clerks at §1.400, three cle have made their record on the manufacture of but that he did | | to the time Two windows on the see- | | may TALK ABOUT THE CAUCUS, Its Failure to Agree Last Night Not Significant. THE NATIONAL ELECTION BILL MAY BE SHARPLY PRESSED IN THE SENATE, BUTIT WILL BE AFTER THE TARIFF AND APPROPRIATION BILLS ARE DISPOSED OF—THEN IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME. ‘The failure of the republican senatorial cau- cus to agree upon a program for the consider- ation of the federal election bill does not necessarily signify that they will not press that measure, There are many Senators who are lukewarm in this matter and there are several who are positively opposed to the bill, believ- ing it to be unwise, but those who want it passed this session are deeply in earnest, and they are supported in their position, even prodded to activity, by the influence of the House and possibly by that of the President. Though they have not yet succeeded in their efforts to whip their colleagues into line they are going to continue the effort with more de- termination than ever, It was urged in caucus by those who opposed the measure, and especially by those who do not agree that it issate to attempt a change of rules for the purpose of forcing this vill through, that the regular course of iegisiation should not be in- terrupted or, at least, that it should not be as- sumed at once that the democrats in the Senate propose to obstruct all legislation, THE INTENTION OF THE DEMOCRATS NOT DECLARED. Thorgh there has been much talk of the in- tention of the democrats to protract debate un- necessarily for the purpose of defeating the bill by consumption of time, and though this might be their course, these Senators held that as yet there had not been suificient evidence of this plan to warrant the majority mm attempting to put in force the “pr 8 question.” They heid that no such evidence had been given by the debate on the silver bill, for the reason that the democrats might claim with honesty that this measure is one of importance upon which the parties are divided and that they consumed no more time in debate than was necessary to fully present the issue to the public, They could give war- rant for this cluim by pointing to the fact that they had permitted a vote on this bill yester- day beiore the caucus was called. It was held to be ai least no more than fair to let the cemoerats clearly show their purpose to ob- struct before attempting te curtail their power. THE DECISION 0 GO ON WITH REGULAR LEGIS- LATION. Accordingly the decision was made to go on with the regular legislation and to see what the democrats did before teking further action, It is the purpose of the advocates of the federal election bill after following this course, out of consideration for the conserva- tive sentiment in the party, to attempt to fixatume for the vote on the measure. Whether they cau succeed in this is as much in doubt as ever, with the weight of scnatoria} traditions against them, Tie men who argued for postpouement of action do not stand pledged to support .a proposition for Sich an innovation even should it de- velop beyond question that the demo- crats are resorting to dilatory tactics, It may be that even then they will Hold back. Messrs. Frye and Spooner have not yet got pledges | trom @ suflicent number of Senators that they | will remain in the Senate as long as necessary to maintain » quoram of republicans and to force a vote on the bill, and the friends of the measure are stil in as much doubt about the result as are their opponents, It does seem probable that the caucus will finally decide to ress the bill vigorously, though it is not as tuay that they can change the rules, THE TAWIFF AND APPROPRIATION BLLIS, The necessity for taking up the appropria- tion bills and the tariff bills is forced upon the majority by the demands of the government for the appropriations, and the anxiety of the business iiteres's that the tarilf question should be disposed of as soon as possible. The busi- ness interests, whether favorably or un- favorably — affected by _ the pro- posed tariff bill, join in the desire to ave ths matter disposed of, so as to relieve the strain of doubt.

Sr.Pavt, July 11.—Wheu the fourth day's ses- sion of the thirty-fifth annual convention of th National Educational Association opened Dr. Hewett of Ohio arose on a question of privi lege to deny a public statement regarding bis candidacy for the presidency. It bad been re- ported that he would have taken the office if xiven him and considerable feeling was © pressed against the acuon of the nominatic committee im choosing for president one who: connection with the association was considered as comparatively recent. This matter was said to be about to create a fight in the associ- ation, and so it proved. staved off fora few minutes by Hon, John fd cock of Ohio offering a resolution indorsing compulsory education, which was referred Ww the committee on resolutions. WANTS A NEW ELECTION. &@ question of privilege and read from the con- stitution of the association to prove that the method of the election of officers yesterday had been illegal and was therefore null and void, He offered a series of resolutions setting forth this statement and moved that an election of officers be now held. His motion was immediately seconded and he spoke in favor of it, claiming that proper and legal methods were necessary for the strength and continued prosperity of the asso- ciation, The constitution provided for an election by ballot, which had not been granted; neither was there any record of any election, nor of the aunouncement of one by the presi- dent, iiis speech was heartily appiwuded.

He argued | strongly im favor of the advisability of the action iaken, saying it was better to make onc mistake than to make a thousand in trying to obey the letter of the law, For the reason given he decixred the motion aud resolutions were out of order. APPLAUSE AND HISSES. Mr. Hardy of Wisconsin, who had seconded Mr. Forbes’ motion, appealed from the decis- ion of the chair, but President Canfield refused to hear the appeal, and his decivion was greeted with combined 1 plause and hisses, THE MATTER DKOPPED, The chair called immediately for the report of the president of educational council and the { matter was dropped for the session and proba- ' bly for the meeting.
