The Japanese legation in this city has re- ceived a dispatch from Tokio containing afidavits of Captain Galsworthy and Chlef Officer Tamplin of the Kow Shung, giving thelr version of the battle substantially as already published. The Times correspondent at says the Japanese minister al Seoul, after the collision there between the Japanese and Corean troops, placed Tai-in-Kun, the king's fatlier, at the head of the Corean govern- ment. Captain Galsworthy of the transport Kow Shung states that he was prevented from surrendering by the Chinese troops aboard his vessel. The people of Yokohama. re in raptures over the naval victories. Following the example of the sovereign the people will contribute toward the expenses of carrying on the war. A dispatch from Tien-Tsin to says: The excitement in China over the cruel action of the Japanese is Immense, Forelgners here are unanimous in their con- demnation of the barbarous conduct of the crew of the Naniwal and demand the pro- tection of foreign flags and prestige. Advised by the Russian and British ministers the Chinese government has shown the utmost moderation and has obtained the general sympathy of the foreigners in the east. A dispatch from Toklo, dated August 1, says that previous to the capture of the Kow Bhung the Chinese had landed 5,000 troops at Asan, where they had jntrenched them- selves. The whole Chinese flect is now as- sembled there and a decisive naval battle is fmminent. Committees of merchants here are providing immense funds for carrying on the war. Dispatches from the Chinese gov- ernment at Pekin have been imparted by the Chinese legation to the earl of Kimber- ley, foreign secretary, and to Lord Rose- bery, prime minister, confirming the reports that serious fighting has occurred between Japanese and Chinese troops. The Chronicle’s correspondent at Tokio telegraphs that the Japanese fleet is concen- trating its strength at Kangh Wa, an island at the mouth of the Seoul river, and that a great naval fight Is expected shortly. Six guineas per cent is being paid on mu- nitions of war carried by the Glen line of teamers to Shanghal enroute to Tien-Tsin, and 6 guineas per cent is paid on coal shipped to Shanghal. In an interview today Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, United States minister, said re- garding the Chinese-Japanese troubles that the attitude of the United States would be one of benevolent neutrality, adding that the instructions sent to the United States en- voys at Pekin and Tokio were direct evi- dence of that attitude. Mr. Bayard leaves London for Genoa on August 11, with the intention of enjoying a few weeks yachting in the Mediterranean. Mr. Bayard will return to London before leaving for the United States. France was the first government to me- cept Great Britain’s invitation to observe strict neutrality during the war between China and Japan. okohama the Times DON'T KNOW WHERE ASAN IS Japanese Legation in Washington Doubt the Reported Fight in Coren. WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—The only tele- gram of public interest received at the Japanese legation today related to the re- quest made by the Japanese government concerning the protection asked to be at- forded Japancse interests in Pekin by the American charge d’affaires there. An an- Bwer to a previous telegram giving the infor- mation desired by the Japanese government had been sent already by Mr. Myakoa, the charge d'affaires here, but evidentiy had been delayed in transmission. The legation is without any official news concerning the reported repulse of Japanese troops at Asan, Considerable doubt exists in the minds of the officials as to the exact location of the place and they will question the truth of the reported fight. The min- ister of forelgn affairs at Tokio has promised to keep the legation promptly informed of events with a view to having them made public promptly here, The Corean legation s still without any tnformation from the home government con- cerning the condition of affairs in Corea, not- withstanding the fact that the telegrams have recently been received through other agencies from Seoul, its capital. Muck re- gret Is expressed by the Corean officials that war should occur on Corean territory, as it will result in great hardships to an already poor people. The presence of a very large army in the country is said by the Coreans to be a serious affair. Most of the natives are ugriculturists, and the presence of arm- fes will haye the effect of diverting them from their labors and result in a large loss to_the crops. It Is reported that a number of Americans have signified to Japanese officials in this city their desire to enter the military service of Japan during the pending war with China. An ex-official of the United States to the former country calls attention to the fact that by the laws of the United States it is made a penal offense for an American cltizen to enlist in the military service of either China or Japan when engaged in war with a country at peace with the United States. COREA W S MAKING RE DRMS. Another Story of What Was Going On When the War Hroke Out, WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—A telegram has been recelved at the Japanese legation giv- ing the substance of the formal representa- tions made by the Japanese government to the foreign representatives at Toklo, de fining its attitude on the Corean question. The telegram is: “The king of Corea has appointed his father, Tal-in-Kun, to have control of the administration of the govern- ment und to direct the reforms which have been determined upon. Several days ago the king summoned the Japanese minister at Seoul to the palace, where he was in- formed that reforms in the administrative policy of the Corean government had al- ready been inaugurated and he would be consulted as oceasion rose. The improve- ments in Corea’s administrative policy have consequently, notwithstanding the repeated refusals af China to even consider them, Dbeen put into operation by the indepondent actlon of the Corean. government, which will be carried out uccording to the king's will, The question of Corea’s autonomy and in- dependence is thus affirmatively settled." { LI HUNG © PUNISHED, Chinese Emperor Thinks the War ls Not Belng Prosecuted with Dispateh, SHANGHAI, Aug. 3.—The emperor has dlvested Li Hung Chang of the Yellow Jacket In consequence of his supposed re- missness in prosecuting the war.

LI THEIR STORY JAPS OMelal Reports of the Battle Between the 4 In Coren. WASHIN Aug. 3.—Official notifica- tion of a battle between the Japanese and Chinese land forces in Corea was received at the Japanese legation here tonight from the foreign office at Tokio. The telegram stated that on the 28th of July a portion of the Japanese troops at Seoul marched against a much superior force of Chinese intrenched at Shan Yeng. A battle ensued and after heavy fighting the Chinese were put com- pletely to rout and a large number of pris- oners and munitions of war were captured by the Japanese. On the morning of the 30th the Japanese proceeded to march against Gasan. Shan Yeng is situated between Seoul and Gasan of Asan, where the fight between the Japanese and Chinese, resulting in the loss of 2,000 Japanese, is reported to have occurred. It is the opinion of the legation officers here that the reports from Chinese sources containing rumors of the defeat of the Japanese at an are probably gross exaggerations, though no dispatches refer. ring to a fight at the latter place have yet been received.

Vice President D. B. Robinson of the road declares that the Atchison recelvers have prepared no new schedule of wages, much less submitted it to the men and, further, sald they had no intention of mak- ing a new schedule of wages. He declared the report was without foundation of any Kind. The western roads estimate their earnings have fallen off from 20 to 40 per cent on ac- count of the drouth. Strike In the Bullding Trade. NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—More than 2,500 men, it is estimated by the board of walking delegates of the building trades, obeyed the order to strike on the public school buildings. The strike is for an increase in wages. The strike was ordered by the board of walking delegates of the building trades, to take effect on all school buildings in the upper part of this city. Up to noon today, however, it failed to assume the proportions promised by the representatives of organized labor. Only five buildings were thus far affected, and only 181 men have gone out.

RECEIVED THE VERD.CT WITH CONTEMPT Scenes During the Court Pro- Int rjections of the Wit- £ a Prisoner. sational dings — The Prisoner’ During the Exa Testimony mination nesses — the mur- court executed LYONS. Aug. 3.—Caesaro Santo, derer of President Carnot, in the ass here today, w.s sentenced to be by the guillotine. ro were few people around the Palals when the trial was resumed this morning. The court regulations and mil- itary guard were the same as yesterday, and as yesterday the prisoner was escorted into the dock handcuffed to two gendarmes and with two more bringing up the rear. The priscner seemed even more deflant than yesterday, and fock his seat with a mocking smile upon his face. Lo Blanc, the soldier who was a fellow prisoner with Cacsaro at Marseilles, testified that Caesaro told him that he intended to kill President Carnot, probably at Lyons when the chief megistrate visited that city. “That is a lie,” interrupted Caesaro, ex- citedly. “I never told you or any one else anything about my plans.” Le Blanc continued: “Caesaro confided to me that he was designated by lot—" “That is untrue,” shrieked Caesaro. “How untrue?” asked the judge, turning to the prisoner. “I said to you, after you had made that remark, ‘But who would be so bold as to Kill President Carnot? I saw him in Paris surrounded by troops and police, You answered, ‘He will be chosen by lot. There was great excitement in court while tho prisoner and Le Blanc were speaking to ch other. Liter Le Blanc said: Caesaro told me that he had often seen King Humbert in the strets, but he added that to kill him it would be necessary to have a rifle and shoot him from the street, as he would be so surrounded by soldiers. “That is a lie,” shouted the prisoner. was never chosen to kill President Carnot. Moreover, absolute liberty of action pre- vails among anarchists.” The prosecuting attorney reviewed at length all the details of the trial and de- manded that the jury should not hesitate to_do its duty. M. Dubreuill, followed and prisoner. At the conclusion of the public prosecutor’s speech there were visible signs of approval throughout the court room at the eloquent denunciation of anarchists, their doctrines and their wretched tool Caesaro, whose life, counsel insisted, the jury should render to Justice, the law and the rightful demand of civilized society. The prisoner smiled with contempt during the prosecutor's address, and then in com- mon with all present he paid close atten- tion to the remarks of s counsel, whose appeal for the prisoner lasted half an hour, and was based upon three points: [irst, that there was lunacy in the prisoner's family; second, his anarchist surroundings, third, ‘the impossibility of reconciling the assassin’s religious life with a premediated attempt at murder. Under the law the presiding Judge prohibited the publication of the chief portion of M. Dubreuil’s address. At the conclusion of his counsel's remarks Caesaro seemed pleased and the jury rose amid a general movement of relief upon the part of the audience. When the jury went out there was con- siderable conversation, mingled with whisp- ered speculation as fo how long the jury would be out. During the absence of the jury Caesaro was removed to his cell be- hicath the court house and the judge retired with his associates to await the return of the men who were to pronounce upon the prisoner's guilt. When, after an absenca of less than half an hour, the jury re-entered the judge resumed his place and for a moment a_deadly silence reigned through- out the court. The prisoner was brought in and faced the court for the last time. Judge Breulllac turned to the prisoner for a moment and then addressing the jury asked the formal question: “Is Caesaro Santo Geronimo gullty or not guilty of the crime of assassin- ating the president of the republic?” There was some confusion as the interpre- ter translated to the prisoner what was said, but audible over the interpreter’s voice was the reply of the foreman of the Jjur, “Guilty, without extenuating circumstan- ces.' There was a deep silence as the verdiet was translated to Caesaro, who received it with a smile of contempt. The presiding judge, s0 soon as the prisoner was ac- quainted with the jury's finding, arose, and speaking directly to the assassin, said: “'The court condemns Caesaro Santo Geronimo to death. You have three days in which to ap- peal to the court of cassation.” To this the prisoner returned a scornful shout of **Vive la_revolution soclale!” The anarchial cry was hardly uttered when the gendarmes handeuffed the prisoner 1 jerked him toward the door leading to the cells beneath the court. This door was opened hastily, Caesaro was hurried through and as he disappeared a feeble cry of ““Courage, comrades! Vive l'anarchie!” was heard echoing from the stone corridor through which the assassin was being car- ried. By this time the presiding judge was bowing to his associates, to the pubiic pro ecutor and to the counsel for the defens the audience began to disappear, the door through which Caesaro had passed was shut with a loud clang, the door of the judge's room was opened, the public vanished, the clack pointed to a quarter of 1 and all who saw the trial rushed out to tell the outer world of what they had seen and heard. M. Dubreuil, the prisoner's counsel, gave notice of appeal, and in so doing asked that the presiding judge's charge to the jury at the opening of the session be entered on the records. VETERAN EXPLO) counsel made an for the appeal defense, for the 'S OPINION, rdenskjold Thinks a Rescue Party Should Be Sent for Wellman. LONDON, Aug. 4.—The Times says: The Royal Geographical soclety has received the following telegram from Baron Nordensk- jold: The steamer Ragnvald Jarl, which conveyed the Wellman expedition to the polar regions, has been crushed in the fce near Walden island. Six men who were with the expedition have returned to Nor- way. The other members of the party con- tinued northward on the fce, but it Is dently impossible for them to penetrate far and the expedition is likely to return, very much exhausted, to the Swedish houses at Mossel bay. These houses are excellent, but the provisions they contain will not be sufficlent. In August and September there will probably be no ice between Enyl and Icefjord, and Mossel bay will then be ac- cessible. I think a relief expedition is de- sirable. The Times, commenting on the foregoing, says Baron Nordenskjold's opinion deseryes the most serious attention. It is too late, it remarks, to express an opinion upon the foolhiardiness of the expedition. Mossel bay may be beset by ice early In the season and it is to be hoped the party will get safely out of their rash adventure. Doubtless Mr. Wellman's countrymen will not delay in tak- ing steps to prevent the possibility of a lamentable catastrophe. Insurgents in Brazil dre Fleelng.

Catholle Abstalners Endorse the Edict to Saloonists of Their Falth. ST. PAUL, Aug. 3.—The Catholic Abstain- ers did not meet until after 10 o'clock today and at once began work on changes in the constitution. They hoped to finish up the work of the convention in one session. The resolutions adopted strongly endorse the papal delegates temperance views. They state that the union “seep in the, recent action of Bishop Watterson, which has been s0 nobly sustained by Mgr. Satolli, a long step in the right dircction. It is belleved that this action will crystaliize the influence of the church against the saloon, and wil stamp this letter indelibly upon’ the irre- concilable enemy of tre church. The de- cision of the papal delegate cannot fail to give additional authority to the recommenda- tion of the court of Baltimore, that all Cath- olic saloon keepers abandon as soon as they can the dangerous trafic and embrace a more b:coming way of making a living. The decision will serve as a: renewal of the invitation which our Holy Father, Leo XIIIL has already addressed to all priests of the land to enter into the work of temperance reform. “And against for the with the clergy strongly committed the saloon, the day of vindication church in Ameriea will be near at hand. The scandal’ of. a preponderating number of ‘Catholics jn the saloon business is a disgrate too long endured. Whatever the cause of the fact a new) day is at hand." Considerable opposition developed during the morning session to the Women's Chris- tian Temperance union pelyglot petition, it being considered an_endorsement of prohibi- tion, and after a few speeches against it the ‘petition was withdrawn by its friends, who believed it would be rejected. M. T. Burke of Carbondale, Pa., read a paper on the mutual aid principle and a gen- cral insurance plan as favorably ordered by the convention, Rev. Father P. P. Cooney delivered an ad- dress on_the cause of temperance. The following telegram was rea “HAINES FALLS, Aug. 3.—Archbishop Ireland: Please give eisterly greeting to convention. ~ The Catholic church sets a great example in Satolli's decision.

Dempsey of Cleveland were elected fraternal delegates to the Women's Christian Temperance unfon convention, which meets i Cleveland. When the election “of president came on there was something of a surprise. The candidates were Bishop Watterson of Co- lumbus, O., and Rev. Father Cleary of Min- neapolis. When ten unions had been called the vote stood: Cleary, 203; Watterson, 73, and the bishop's name was withdrawn. Father Cleary being elected. J. A. Logue of Phila- delphia was_re-elected first vice president; Mrs, O. R. Lake, third vice president; Rev. A. P. Doyle of New York general secretary, After the installation of officers the con- vention adjourned to meet in New York on the first Wednesday in August, 1895. The nomination of Bishop Watterson for president was intended as a compliment for his firm stand on temperance and because of his recent decision, but it has been customary to allow the locality where the convention is held to select that officer, and this precedent is thought to have largely influenced the result. When it became ap- parent that Father Cleary, well known all over the west as a temperance advocate, woultt be chosen, Bishop Watterson's name was withdrawn. In the course of the nom- inations Rev. Father O'Hrien of Ohio, sec- onding Bishop Watterson's nomination, stated ‘“‘that Bishop Watterson would not allow his name to be considered in this con- nection in competition with any man, pres- dent or layman."” This statement s thought to have had great welght with the delegates that Bishop Watterson's name was not presented with his consent, e TRAFFIC IN CHINESE CERTIFICATES.

BROKEN BOW, Neb,, Telegram to The Bee.)—The republican con- gressional convention held here last night was probably one of the most hotly contested battles ever held In the state. Up to the thirtieth ballot there was but little change with either of the four candidates, Kinkaid keeping in the lead, with a vote ranging from 77 to 88, On the final ballot, the thirty-sixth, Dorrington's forces and all but fifieen of St. Rayner's went to Daugherty, giving him 99% votes to Kinkaid's 821, with 107 cast. The announcement of the result was received with great enthusiasm by the audi- ence, the applause lasting several minu'es Mr. Daugherty was called to the stand, where he favored the audience with a great burst of oratory and logic. St. Rayner and Kin- kald made short speeches, pledging thelr support to the nominee. The following reso- lutions were adopted: “The republicans o congressional district of Ncbraska con- gratulate the country upon the prospective early retirement of the democratic party from power and upon the unmistakable indica’ions of a return to the wise, pa‘riotic, upbuilding policy of the republican party, which has never failed to maintain the national honor, protect the national credit, and foster the many and diversfled industries of the coun. try. “Resolved, That there is nothing too gccd for the brave men to receive who periled their lives to save the nation, and that tke nation’s gratitude should mean more to them, their orphans and widows than the few lines usually found in party platforms; that the faithful union soldier s entitled to every dollar of the smail pittance given him so grudgingly by those whose duty it is to be liberal and that the money expended by the government in pensions is the most racred and most necessary of all the governiment expenditures. ARBITRATION AND IMMIGRATION. “One of the greatest problems before the American people is the harmonious adjust- ment of the relations between labor and capital, the solution of which is embodied in the principle of arbitration, and we favor the creation of a natlonal labor commission to promote the establishment of that happy re- sult. “One of the greatest dangers confronting our national safety is the admission of hordes of pauper laborers from Europe to supplant at pauper wages the American laboring man and the little check upon the inflow of aliens from the criminal and anarchistic elements of the old world, and we favor a policy that will confine immigration as nearly as pos- sible to those who are understandingly seek- ing free homes and better conditions in a free land. “Whereas, In 1888 the republican national platform declared in favor of the use of hoth gold and silver as money, and condemned the policy of the democratic party in its ef- forts to demonetize silver; and, “Whereas, In 1892 the repubiican national platform declared that American people are by Interest and tradition in favor of bimetal- lism, and demand the use of both gold and silver as standard money; therefore, “Resolved, That the demonetization of silver by a democratic administration in 1893 was a ecrime against the people; that we voice the demand of the platform of 1892 and that we give new expression and em- phasis to that demand by cailing upon con- gress to remonetize silver and provide for the coinage of the product of American mines at a ratio that will restore the equilib- rium of gold and silver and maintain their parity. Aug. 3.—(Special votes the Sixth DEMAND FOR IRRIGATION. “The improvement of agricultural condi- tions should be one of the highest aims of statesmanship. The development of agricul- ture and horticulture to their highest pos- sibilities will do more than aught efse (o solve the vexed labor problem, by provid- ing an agreeable outlet for the idle popu- lation of our overpopulated towns and cities. Scientific, productive, diversificd farming opens the way to the ideal conditions of human life. The western half of the United States has a_soil unsurpassed for fertility. The western half of the continent comprises the semi-arid and arid sections of the coun- try. To make it the most productive soil in’ the world needs but the application of sufficlent water at proper times, where rain- fall is irregular or insufficient, by the vari- ous methods of irrigation. Therefore, the government having disposed of these lands to settlers and to corporations for purposes of settiement, It is the imperative duty of the government to assist the seltlers thereon in the intelligent application of irrigation, and to that end congress should at once ap- propriate a sufficient sum for a complete irrigation survey of the sem-aild portions of the west, and also the arid sections, and for the purpose of making experiments and investigations that wiil enable the farmer to utilize irrigation in the manner best suit- ed to his locality and surroundings, whether by ditches, reservoirs, wells or other means. “Whereas, The homestead act provides for the commutation of homestead and pre-emp- tion claims at the rate of $1.25 per acre, and provided further that all lands within twenty miles of the Union Pacific railroad shall be commuted at the double minimum rate, or $2.50 per acre; and, ““Whereas, The citizens of, the Sixth con- gressional district living within twenty miles of the Unlon Pacific railroad are within what is known as the railroad limit and are com- pelled to pay the sum of $2.50 per acre when homestead or pre-emption claims are com- muted; therefore, “Resolved, That we urge the repeal of sald law and the enactment in lieu thereof of a uniform rate of $1.25 per acre for commuta- tion of homestead or pre-emption entry, and we favor an appropriation by the general government for the purpose of reimbursing all claimants who have been compelled to pay the double minimum price of $2.50 per acre an amount equal to the excess paid over and above the minimum price charged, and we pledge the nominee of this convention to in troduce, work for and support a measure in congress looking to the remuncration of set- tlers who have been compelled to pay the double minimum price, as aforesaid WHO MATT DAUGHERTY 18, Matt Daugheriy, the sucessful nominee, was born in September, 1854, on the Great Western railway, in Ontario.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 3.—Adjutant General Tarsney of Colorado, who has been here for some days seeking to encompass the arrest of one of the gang who tarred and feathered him, came near being the victim of an as- sassin’s bullet at the union depot in this city tonight. It was one of the closing scenes in the dramatic play growing out of the Colorado tragedy during the recent strike and his con- saguent ferreting out and arrest of J. R. Wilson, one of the leaders of the marauders, Several days ago General Tarsney located Wilson near Nevada, Mo., and, by a neat bit of strategy, and with the tance of De- tective Peterson of Colorado, succeeded in getting him to Kansas City. Wilson was positively identified by Tarsney as being the ringleader of the mob that tarred and feath- ered him. Wilson, however, declared he was innocent. After some trouble Tarsney se- cured the proper requisition papers from Governor Stone and the start for Colorado was arranged for this evening. C. C. Collins, deputy under Wilson in Colorado dur- ing the strike trouble, and who is believed to be the man who carried the feathers on (he eventful night, came to town yesterday, and, as he afterwards told a reporter, was bent upon liberating Wilson. Shortly before the departure of the evening Union Pacific train tonight Tarsney, Wilson and Pe'erson were driven from the jail to the depot in a closed carriage. Ever since coming to town larsncy has traveled under an assumed name and has been in constant fear of vio- lence. Arriving at the depot Collins was the first man the party met. He quickly stepped towards them. With a salutation to Wilson and at the same time placing his hand on his hip pocket, Collins made an effort to draw Wilson to one side. Pelerson, in an instant, had pushed the intruder aside, feeling for his weapon. With a curse Collins drew away, then turn- ing toward Tarsney, made as if to strike him, The general reached for his hip pocket, but before either man could lift a hand Peter- son had stepped between them and w starting the trio for their frain. In the meantime quite a crowd had collected and great cxcitement prevailed. Huirying onto their car, Wilson was quickly strapped to a seat, while Tarsney nervously took a t near by and looked anxiously for the signal to start. It soon came and the party in time resumed thelr natural state. Collins, in the rush, had been lost. It w afterwards learned he had secured a ticket over the Santa Fe road and left on that train a few minutes later, believing Tarsney had gone via that route. e BATTLE WITH COMMONWEALERS. N and Industrials Have w Pitched Battle at Connelsville, CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Aug. 3.—Jeffries' Commonwealers, numbering about 200, ar- rived here this evening, and at ence scatterer through the town demanding food. When Baltimore & Ohlo freight train No. 76 pulled out for the east about § p. m. the whole crowd made a rush to capture transportation About all succeeded in getting aboard, but when about a mile out of the yard the train was stopped and the swarm of boarders driven off. They got together on the ground, and, with a rush enmasse, swept down the opposition and crowded into box cars. Then the trainmen, reinforced by yardmen, made a combined charge and a regular battle en sued. The atlacking party were met by a storm of stones, clubs, links, pins and scrap fron. Yardmaster George Workman and Cashler Thomas were badly injured, while many of the Commonwealers went down un- der the blows from the miscellaneous weapons of the railroaders. Some of the army es- caped, but about 100 were beaten back in‘o the cars and were locked . The train was run back to town and the prisoners jailed One of the Commonwealers, who was badly injured, was taken to the hospital and at midnight had not regalned consclousness. A large crowd surrounds the depot and great excliement prevails. st Predicted for Wisconsin CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—The weather here has ordered frost signals displayed throughout ~ Wisconsin tonight, and Prof. Moore of the bureau predicts severe frosts In that state tonight.

I8 winl LINGTO! conferecs be Impres among the agreement would be future. The houso conferee encouraged with the prog the week and said that a ported which would become a law. One after tie votes conferet The next met. It was at this that the house conferees were Informed that the senate bill must be accepted without the dotting of an f, or the crossing of a t. This assertion was couched in more diplomatic language, however, but that was the effect of It. Substantially the spokesman of the senate conferees said to the members of the house: entlemen, the tariff bill has just escaped defeat by three tic votes and the fact that a former republican senator refrained from voting. W you know the situation. It 8 a positive fact that the senate bill and no other can pass. It will be unsafe to trust it in the senate with change whatever. The only way In which there can be any tarift legislation 1s for you gentlemen to take this bill and pass it.” The session was very short. The senate conferees announced to their colleagues that the house members said nothing. The house members held a short conference among themselves. No othor meeting of the full conference was held until Monday. The in- terval gave the house conferecs time to ascertain the sentiment of the house and on Monday they announced that they were willing to confer and see if a compromise ceuld not be reached, but would not accept the senate bill in its totality as had been insisted upon Saturday. They pointed out teveral defects in the senate bill, There was for the first time a wavering om the part of the senatcrs who had stood bes hind what was known as the caucus“bill. Many ‘democratic senators, not _includin those known as conservatives, sald that th house was entitled to some consideration and that It never was the understanding that there should not be some concessions to the house. There were so many senators who. were of the same opinion as the house cons ferces that they made themselves felt, and instead of adhering to the position of Saturs day, viz, the s'naie bill in its entirety or no bill, the conferces have procesded with a view of adjusting referenc:s and making conces= sions, corrections and changes. Neither side expects to get all it wants, but both sen- ate and house conferees do expeet a tariff bill. It is true that the three main points of difference have not been adjusted, but they are in a fair way to be settled now. From the start the sugar schedule has been the main point of difference; while the house by its vote made sugar free its conferees have been pursuaded to concede that a duty i8 necessary for revenue. The one-elghth differential in favor of refined sugar has bzen the obnoxious feature to the house, but 1t will probably be accepted as the conferces think that the advantage to the refiners s con- cealed in the ad valorem rate. The differs ence between the raw sugar and refin:d, which will regulate the amount of duty to ba levied, can be manipulated by the trust to its great ben-fit, and the injury of the con- sumer and the revenue of the government, The senate ¢ nferces tell the house members to write the schedule o as to prevent any such manipulation and it will be acceptable if it retains the same duty and protection to the sugar Inter:sts contained in the sens ate bill. It is this problem that has been engaging the confer.es for a day or two, and many propositians have been presented and res jected, but the opinfon is expressed that it will finally be adjusted. The other main polnts of difference, coal and firon ore, have algo been the subject of more or less discussion, with but very little success, as the points of compromise do not afford as much latitude as the sugar schedule. The fact that the democrats of the house do not care much about either of these questions, save the principle in- volved, has given the senators reason to believe that they can hold them in the biil, but the house conferces feel that they can adjust the matter by securing free coal with a proviso that ihe semate rate of 40 cents a ton shall b- imposed on coal coming from those countries which refuse the free admlission of coal produced in the United States. It is agreed that iron ore becomes less a matter of contention on both sides, and it is believed it will not be allowed to stand in the way of a final agreement. The tariff conference, In fact, appears to have reached very nearly the point at which cither an early agrcement will be reached or a deision to report a disagreement. The senate confer apparently have arrived at the conclusion that there has been al ready a sufficient exchange of views upon general lines and that the time has come when the direct Issue must be raised. It is stated that a sugar schedule has been pre- pared which the senate will accept and which is to be presented to the house members ag the extrme limit to which the senate will go. The schedule, it is said, still provides a differential duty on refined sugar and in other particulars maintains the = protective features of the senate schedule, Representative Bland has introducéd a re olution Instructing the commi‘tee on ways and means to report a bill placing all sugars on the free list and for ralsing $100,000,000 revenue by the income tax. Mr. Bland says concerning the resolution: “I have not consulted Mr. Wilson nor any one else, but have acted on my own judgs ment in submitting the resolution. My pur~ pose is to press It if there is an Indication that the tariff bill will fail. The proposi= tion 15 somewhat different from that Sug- gested In Mr. Wilson's specch (at the time the president’s letter to him was read), as it proposes ralsing the necessary government revenue by an income tax. This feature is engential, however, If sugar Is placed on the free lis! 1 belleve this separate tariff measure would quickly pass both branches of congress if the general bill falled.”” ADVERTISE IN OMAHA, Before the tarift their discussions today the leaders was that an reached In the near were especially s mado during bill could be res toth houses and ago the senate, the bill back to the conferees , Aug. 8 an fon pass week sent day irce any wiI Wil As' Loeul D Him with I WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—(Special Teles to The Bee)—When the bill making appropriation for the supply of government stationary and printing was under considera= tion in the house Congressman Mercer sucs ceeded in having Omaha added to the list of names of cities where blds for supplying the stationary are to be advertised, It was @ hard fight, but the conference committes on the printing bill has agreed to allow Omaha to remain on the list, although the committee have stricken out several other citie B.
