RUMORS OF TARIFF CHANCES ! Air Around the Oapitol Full of Stories Con- cerning the Oonferees’ Action, DEMOCRATS ACTING ENTIRELY ALONE Republicans Have Not Neen Invited to At- tend Any of the Secret Sessions Held by the Committes—Hale Will Discuss This, WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BEE 1407 F* Street, N. W. WASHINGTON, July 12. both houses was full of what had been done by the tarift conference committee today. The most persistent of these rumors was that eoal and iron ore were to be restored to the free list, as they were when the the bill passed the house. A thorough investigation revealed this story grew out of a story be SWeatl thembers of the ‘@mmitis tors and repres and while it had conversations th these The air about rumors as to and sena- itatives connected with it, not been stated in these committee had agreed upon changes, the outside members were glven to understand this was the program and that it was to be put into execution by the joint cfforts of the house conferees and the two senator managers of the ference. The members of the committee spoken to on the subject after the adjourn con- ment declared no action had been taken upon these two Items, and they went so far as to declare they had not been even discussed, They made the same denial of another story that was current to the effect that changes had been decided upon In the sugar schedule, Bver since the democratic members of the conference committee began their meet- ings last Monday, without inviting the re- publicans to be present, there has been mani- fested a disposition on the part of the re- publicans of both houses to criticise the par- tisan methods of proceeding, and this dis- satisfaction took shape today in the intro- duction by Senator Hale of a resolution call- ing attention to the “failure of the demo- crats to call a full conference of democrats and republicans. Senator Hale sald the resolution was the effect of an understand- ing among several republican senators. He expressed the opinfon tho resolution would dévelop an interesting debate in the senate tomorrow. “This proceeding by the democratic con- ferces is, he sald, “unprecedented in the history of the country. The law says con- ferences between managers on the part of the two houses shall be full and free, and contemplates that they shall be held after the appointment of the managers. The meeting between the democratic senators and members {5 practically unofficial. We of this side of the chamber think we have a right to know what is being done with 80 important a measure as the tarift bill and have decided to make our opinion known. NEED OF A NEW PRINTING OFFICE. In an elaborate article published in the July number of “‘Paper and Press,” printed in Philadelphia, Judge S. R. Davis of Towa presents a proposition which will undoubt- edly become popular with the people of the country, particularly with the printers and publishers. The idea has already elicited a great deal of favorable comment from senators and representatives who have read the article. * After an elaborate description of the present government printing office, which s as dangerous as It Is unsightly, Judge Davis says: “Every member of the printer's craft In the country who is connected with any de- partment of the ‘Art Preservative of All Arts' should insist that one of the noblest temples on the globe be erected at the cap- ital of the American republic, which would serve not only the purpose of a practical workshop from which to fssue all the public printing, but as a stately monument to that noble art which more than any other has contributed to the advancement and progress of humanity. “One of the wisest acts of congress was the appropriation for the Congressional Li- brary, whose majestic proportions are now assuming symmetrical shape on Capltol hill. But without the printer's art this noble ilbrary would not be possible. The new government printing office should be, if any- thing, a grander building, ample enough to contain a musewm illustrating the progress of the printer's art from the time of its discovery. It should contain an art gal- lery, in which the statues and portraits of the distinguished craftsmen and journalists of the world would find an honored place ‘Its site should be upon a lofty eleva- tion, above the possibility of flood or damp- ness, or conditions not in harmony with the splendid architecture of the building. Present emergencies demand the immediate enlargement of the present quarters, and this addition should be made ample to pro- vide for the needs of the office until the final completion of the mew edifice. The people of this country will approve large appropriations to carry out this purpose, and this improvement would give employment to thousands of the unemployed and en- tall a burden upon the taxpayers trifling in comparison to the great and permanent benefits secured. “This congress should begin the steps to inaugurate this splendid enterprise, ulti- mately to result in the completion of a temple to the printer's art ample enough to meel the needs of the government for a century, and a monument to the genius of American institutions which would excite the admira- tlon of the world."

WASHINGTON, July 12.—The ordnance ex- ports and steel makers who wore encouraged by recent tests to suppose they had acquired the secret of armor plates of uniform shote resisting quality had that belief shattered today when the twelve-inch navy rifles sent a shot spinning through a seventeen-inch Har- veylzed Carnegle plate, through the heavy oak backing and the earthwork and hun- dreds of yards away into the woods. Thls happened at the Indian Head proving ground in the presence of Chief Sampson of the ordnance bureau and some of the officers of the Carnsgle company. The plate was put up for a premium test, but failed to pass the acceptance test. The first shot showed its weakness, when a Carpenter projectile, at the low veloclty of 1,410 feet per second, sent its point thirteen and one-half inches into the seventeen-inch plate. The point of the shot was broken off and the shot itself flew back. Then a Wheeler projectile was fired at a velocity of 1,858 feet. This was the shot that penetrated the plate. The shot itselt was recovered in a condition similar to the first shot. The ordnance officers were pu: zled at the faflure of the plate, particularly in view of the highly satisfactory perform- ance of a similar plate a few weeks ago. The metal appeared to be of excellent quality and there wero no cracks that extended more than a few inches from the holes. The plate represented a group of 700 tons of armor destined for the Oregon's barbettes, but fortunately the remafnder are not so far ad vanced toward completion as to preclude a change of treatment. An elghteen-inch Bethlehem Harveyized plate, now at the proving ground, will be attacked next week. CHANGING Commandants of the Changed Aroand by the De WASHINGTON, July 12.—Secretary Her- bert today made two important details. Commodore Carpenter, who has been on waiting orders in Boston for some time, was assigned to the command of the Asiatic sta- tion to succeed Admiral Skerritt, just Ye- tired. By virtue of his command, he will have the rank of rear admiral. He is in- structed to take passage from San Fran- cisco on the Gaelic on the 7th of August. The secretary also made known his inten- tion to give the command of the Ruropean statfon to Commodore William A. Kirk- land at his own request as soon as Admiral Erben retires, probably before September. At the time Admiral Walker was sent to Hawaii in command of the Pacific station, suddenly relieving Commodore Kirkland be- fore the latter could reach his flagship, it was rumored he was In disfavor at the de- partment, but today's action of the secre- tary in giving the commodore the command of the favorite station, and one which will soon be reinforced by some of the finest ships in the navy, is strong evidence of the high estimate the secretary entertains of his abilities. Commander Kirkland will hold the rank of admiral, and his assign- ment will leave the south Atlantic station without gn admiral. HOUSE FOR AGED COLORED PEOPLE. Propose to Use Unclalmed Funds of Color Soldiers for that Purpose. WASHINGTON, July 12.—The pasasge of a bill to establish a home for aged colored peo- ple in Washington from a part of the un- claimed funds due the estates of colored soldiers has encouraged Representative Mur- ray of South Carolina to propose that the balance of the fund shall be used to build schools for his race. There is $500,000 in the treasury due to colored soldiers of the rebellion as pay and bounties which has never been claimed and is likely to remain unclaimed. Mr. Murray proposes to have it appropriated for three schools for the industrial education of the colored people of the south. A portion of it he proposes shall bo given to the trustees of the Tuskogee Normal and Industrial school, another share of $25,000 to the school at Manassas, Va., and the remainder to the establishment of a school in Texas and an- other in South Carolina. In a conspicuous place on the main building of each institu- tion he would have inscribed “‘Sacred to the memory of the colored soldiers who died for the perpetuation of a free and perpetual union." nate Rushing Appropriation Bills. WASHINGTON, July 12.—The appropria- tion bills are fast belng considered and at the present rate of progress It is probable next week will see them all disposed of. Today two more important bills were passed, the army and the fortifications bills, while somaq progress was made on the river and harbor bill. The only Interesting discuszlons of the day occurred during the conslderation of the army bill. Several bills of minor im- portance were passed and conferees were appointed on the military academy and diplo- matic and consular appropriations bills, At 6:15 the senato adjourned, Cost of the Strike to the Government. WASHINGTON, July 12.—The cost to the Inited States of putting down the strike in the west is estimated by the government officers at fully $1,000,000. It may foot up more. The estimates include telegraph bills, deputy marshals’ pay and transporta- tion and maintenance of troops. The esti- mates for marshals’ pay in Chicago alone is from $150,000 to $200,000, and congress in a few days will be asked to appropriate this, as it Is urgent. Utah Will B> a State. WASHINGTON, July 12.—The house today agreed to the senate amandments to the bill for the admission of Utah as a state, and after discussing a bill for retiring officers of the revenue cutter service under the special order adopted yesterday, It pro- ceeded with the consideration of bills re- ported from the foreign affairs committee, Eleven bills were passed, none of national importance. At 3 o'olock the house ad- Journed. Another Plan to Iuvestigate the Strike. WASHINGTON, July 12.—Representative McGann spent some time with the president today. Mr. McGann would not discuss the object of his visit, but it is believed to be in"line with his efforts of the last few days to have President Cleveland to create a tem- porary fon, with Commissioner of Labor Wright at its head, to proceed to Chi- cago and investigate the cause of the strike trouble. i Arbitration Bl Introduced. WASHINGTON, July 12.—A bill to pre- vent and settle strikes, to settle by arbitra- tion all differences between employers and employes and to provide a penalty for re- fusal or failure to abide by the decision of arbitrators, has been introduced by Repre- sontative Hudson of Kansas, ts n Reat, July 12.—(Speclal Tele- gram to The Bee)—Leave of absence for two months, with permission to apply for an extension of one month, and to.go beyond sea Is granted Colonel Thomas C.

D, July 12.—(Special to The Bee)—A young English couple by the name of Leigh, belonging to the Eng- lish aristocracy, recently came to this coun- try and went into the stock raising bu: iness near Battle Creek. Mrs. Leigh was an especially beautiful and pleasing young woman, and during the short time she had been in this country became well known in Black Hills society. She retired to her room vesterday evening, apparently in good health, and as she did not rise as soon as usual, her brother went to call her and found her dead. She had taken a large dose of bromide. Her husband was out on the roundup, and did not arrive until a late hour, when he was nearly crazed by grief. No explanation was left by Mrs. Leigh, though it is generally attributed to jealousy. She left letters for her parents in England, the contents of which are not known. Interesting C| HOT SPRINGS, The Be creases daily.

Strike, and strike, and strike again, until the day is won.” If I can read aright the times, this is the message for today: 1. Strike once more for the principles that have made CLristian Endeavor strong. What are our principles? It T know any- thing about them, they are the ideas in- volved in the pledge, the consecration meet- ing and the committees. May I suggest that more of the money ralsed in our state conventions might be profitably spent in circulating fundamental literature rather than in any other way? Sow broadcast this seed. Show that Chris- tian Endeavor has principles—definite, reason- comes to us, Christian on of this our able, workable 'principles—principles in which we believe; principles that we can de- fend; principles that constitute the strength of the movement, 2. Again, Christian Endeavorers, strike once more for good citizenship. Right nobly have you rallled around this standard dur- ing thq_past year. It stanids by such men as Charles H. Park- hurst, and every kindred spirit in every political party that seeks to purify politics and to make this Immanuel's land. While Tammany flourishes in New York, and open gambling in Chicago, and license prostitution in New Orleans, and the Louisiana lottery has moved only across the street to Honduras, the outlook s dark. It 1s dark, but not hopeless. 3. For missions, too, more has been done during the past year than ever before. That eloquent roll of honor tells us that tens of thousands of dollars have been given. Millions should be given where now are given thousands. A very moderate cal lation puts the earnings of active Christ Endeavorers, at $150,000,000 for the last twelye months. One-tenth of that, $15,- 000,000, would be nearly twice as much as all ‘the Christians of America gave to home and foreign missions within that time. A year ago at Montreal three advanced steps were proposed—Christian citizenship, proportionate and systematic glving to mis- sions, and the enlargenment of our Christian Endeavor fellowship. 4. All these steps you have taken with quickened pace and flying banners. As never before has Christian Endeavor advanced in numbers and in_widespread fellowship. In hospitable Australia, in Mother England, in progressive Japan, in con vative China, in awakening India, as well as in the great republic and the great Dominion of North America (which in Christian Endeavor al- ways have been, and I trust always will be, one), our fellowship has grown as in no previous year. In the late war, while the soldiers were in camp, there might be rivalry between the different regiments and corps; but when they came to march against the enemy, reglmental rivalry and corps jealousies were sent to the rear in double-quick time, and, touching elbows (O the thrill of that “‘elbow touch” as old soldiers have described it to me!), they stood together. 0 brothers, let us cultivate every bond of fellowship. Let us strengthen every tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. Enough causes, at the best, distract and weaken and divide Christian forces. If Christian Endeavor, while maintaining and guarantee- ing the loyalty of every one of us to the truth as God glves us to see the truth, should be the blessed Instrument in the hands of providence for bringing earnest Christians nearer together the world around, our cup of happiness would be full, - We could not improve the quality it we pald double the price.

At the door Mr. Wilson was halted with the information that he would have to square up before going away. This he refused to do, insisting that he had had nothing to eat. The proprietor of the establishment insisted that everything except boiled chicken was on tap and “could be had by ordering. Hot: words followed, and as ‘the upshot of the whole matter, the restauranter lifted the Wilson hat and tucked it away in the safe until such time as the bill, 40 cents, was liqui- dated.

A Specles of Punishment No Prisoner Can Long Endure. “Solitary confinement in a dungeon cell has always been considered as the®severest of the corrective measures resorted to in penal institutions,; but it has been Improved upon,” remarked Abner V. Chadwick of Hartford, Conn., member of the recent ses- sion of the National Prison Reform congress, to the New York Advertiser. “Public senti. ment became so strong several years ago in the state of Illinols against the dark cell that the legislature took a hand and abol ished the institution. Some means of sub- duing the refractory spirit of convicts who would not work was necessary and as whips ping was abolished the warden at Joliet prison evolved the most refined and effective form of torture yet discovered. The dungeon was supplanted by what is known ai the white cells. They are located in & detached building in a portion of the fne closure far distant from the work shop. The walls of the cell are of great thickness, the silence of the tomb prevails, They are lighted from above, but no glimpse of the sky can be obtained, the 5, floor and ceiling are painted a glaring white, Even the narrow board, the only plece of furniture inthe cell, upon which the prisoner is permitted to sleep outside of the working lours, is paiuted white. During the hours when the other convicts are at work the man in the solitary is handeuffed to the door of his cell, his hands being chained at an easy and natural elevation. There 15 not a speck of color to relieve the steady, glowing white with which he Is sur- rounded.” The effect is terrible when taken in connection with the deathlike silonce. Within an hour the brain of the prisoner beging to swirl and he becomes deathly sick, Few men have ever been able to stand the white cell, with its maddening, monotonous, unrelieved glare for a single day before they begin to beg for mercy. Two or threo hours of the tomb-like surs roundings generally brings the wmost violent and rebellious spirit to terme.” e G Popular music at Courtland beach, T LOCAL BREVITIES, John Bailey was arrested yostorday for parading a breeding animal contrary to the city ordinance Some sneak thief stole $10, a coat and a pair of pants from a boarder at the Green- tree house last night Jimmy Lindsey was arrested last evening for fighting with Charles Cummings about the merits of their bulldogs.
