SENATE IAS BALKED AGAI Will Take No Further Aotion on the Tariff During T is fossion. FREE RAW MATERIAL BILLS SH.LVED Efforts Made to Got ¢ Correet Errors in the W Tarift Bii-Chandier ODj, Theie Consideration. won-Senate to WABHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The senate has decided that there shall be no further leg- islation over which there Is o contest at this session of congress, by adopting Mr. Mur- phy's resolution to that effect by a good ma Jority. Indeed, it fs doubtful if anything eould be done, even without the adoption of this resolution, as it was impossible to secure a working quorum today on any party division and other senators about to leave the eity. The resolution appointing Mr. White of California a member of the finance com- mittee met with no opposition and was agreed to unanimcusly. Mr. Gray's resolution in- Btructing the committee on finance to report are the free sugar bill immedistely with an amendment putling the “flat” duty upon sugar, did not fare so well and went over without action owing to the lack of a quo- rum. Another resolution was offered by Mr. Lindsay, declaring it was the sense of the senate that congress could not adjourn with- out striking out of the tarift bill the benefit it glves the Sugar trust, which was amended by including the Whisky trust, and as amended it went over under objection. At 2:20 the senate went into exccutive session and at 8:40 adjourned. Previous to the meeting of the senate the republican steering committee of the senato met o put in shape the amendments decided upon by the caucus yesterday. One of these amendments is in the shape of a resolution instructing the finance committee to report the free sugar bill 85 as to provide for a revenus duty on sugar, the substitute being in the nature of instruction, the com- mittee to report the bill so as to provide for a contin e of the present bounty. The other amendments agreed upon by the caucus ana put in shape by the steering committee provided for a modification of the Murphy resoluticn so as to declare against the practicability of further legisla- tion at this session. When Sena or Harris' resolution for the appointment of Senator White of California to the vacancy on the finance committee was Iald before the senate at Mr. Mander- son, republican of Nebraska, said there would be no objection to the resolution today and explained that the opposition yesterday con- tained no reflection on the senator from Cali- fornla (Mr. White). Mr. Hill conferred with Mr. Manderson and expressed the hope that the resolution would be passed. It was then adopted without re- vision. The Murphy resolution declaring against further tariff legislation went over at the request of Mr. Gorman. The resolution of Mr. Gray, democrat of Delaware, instructing the finance committee to report back the free sugar bill with an amendment to strike out. the one-elghth dif- ferential on refined sugar was laid before the senate. Mr. Manderson offered an amendment in- structing the committee to report an amend- ment providing for the sugar bounty of the existing law. Vico President Stevenson held vote should first be taken on Mr. Mander- son’s amendment to instruct the committee to report back an amendment to the fres sugar bill providing for the McKinley bounty on raw domestic sugars. Great intercst was manifested on the roll call. The two Louisanian senators and three populists voted in favor of the Manderson amendment. The Manderson amendment providing for the McKinlcy bounty in the sugar bill was carried, 21 to 20, the point of no quorum being then raised, and the roll was again called. The call developed the presence of fifty- four senators, eleven more than a quorum. The detailed vote was as follows: Yeas— " Aldrich, Allison, Blanchard, Caffrey, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dolph, Gailingher, Jones of Nevada, Kyle, Manderson, Mitcheli of Oregon, Patton, Peffer, Pettigrew, Platt, Quay, Shoup and Stewart. Total, 21. Nays—Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Cockrell, Coke, Faulkner, Glorge, Gorman, Gray, Harris, Hunton, Jarvis, Lindsay, Murphy, Pugh, Ransom, Turpie, Vest, Vilas, White.— Total, 20. The pairs announced were as follows (the first named would have voted in the afirma- tive It present): Allen with Hill, Wolcott with Brice, Proctor with Call, Téller with Camden, Cameron with Butler, Squire with Danfel, Dubois with Smith, Dixon with Mc- Laurin, Frye with Mills, Power with Gibson, Wilson with Gordon, Hale with Mitchell of ‘Wisconein, Hansbrough with Palmer, Hawloy with Pascoe, Higgins with Jones of Arkan- sas, Hoar with Morgan, McMillan with Irby, Morrill with McPherson, Washburn with Martin, Perkins with Roach, Sherman with Voorhees, Lodgs with Walsh. MANDERSON AMENDMENT LAID ASIDE. At the roquest of Seator Hoar the Gray- Manderson amendmeht was temporarily laid aside, Senator Aldricl stat ng that he thougit a yoting quorum would appear in two hours. Senator Murphy then called up his resolu- tlon declaring against further tarift legisla- tion at this time. « Mr. Murphy offered an amendment to his resolution declaring it to be the sense of the sonate that no further tarit legislation should be considered at this session, and that It was advizable to adjourn at the earliest possible moment. Without a word of debate the vote was taken on the resolution as modi- fied. The vote in detail on the Murphy reso- lution was: Yeas: Aldrich, Allison, Blanchard, Caffery, Carey, Chandler, Cullom, Davis, Dolph, Gal- linger, Gibson, 'Gorman, Jones of Nevada, KKyle, Manderson, Mitcholl of *Oregon, Mur- phy, Patton, Peffer, Pottigrew, Platt,’ Pugh, Quay, Roach, Shoup, Smith, Stewart—Total, o7, * Nays—Bates, Berry, Blackburn, Cockrell, Coke, Faulkner, George, Harris, Hunton, vis, Lindsay, Ransom, Turpie, Vest, Vilas and White. Total, 16. A great deal of confusion followed the an- nouncement, n tho midst of which Mr, Lindsay, democrat of Kentucky, offered a resolution expressing it to be the sense that congress should not adfourn until a bill had been passed discontinuing any duty on re- fined sugar which would operate for the bene- fit of the Sugar trust. He asked for the immediate consideration of the resolution. Mr. Manderson, republican of Nebraska, moved to amend the resolution so as to in- struct the finance committee to report back the amount of profit to be derived by the Whisky trust from the tarift bill now In the hands of the president. Mr." Shorman, republican of Ohio, took the floor to Indulge, as he said, in' some “plain talk.”" He reviewed the blunders made by the democrats in tho general con- SERIES NO. 26, Sunday, August 19th, | THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC o | avd entertainiv, DICTIONARY. 4 200 Pages. 260,000 Words INSTRUCTIVE AND USEWUL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—(Speclal Tele- gram to The Bee)—Congressman Dave Meroar and wife left for Omaha today. As he left the capitol building on his way to the train Mr. Mercer said: “I am going to leave now, because It is very evident that there will be no more im- portant business te be transacted and there- nothing to keep the republicans in shington. T will arrive in Omaha Mon- day morning just in time for my convention, I believe the boys will be glad to seo me, and I certainly will be pleased to get back among my friend: Congressmen Perkins and Dolliver of Towa left for home today, and Congressmen Hull | and Hager will start for home on Monday or Tuesday. 3 Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota today said: “The passage of the Murphy resolu- tion today settles the fate of the popgun bills, and of all other propu..u tariff tinkering. We can all get away from here within a week, probably a week from Monday.” FOR THE PARK, Parties Caught Destroy nz Game Will Here- NEW RULE! after o Severely Dealt With WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The new rules and regulations governimg the Yellowstone National park were promulgated at the In- terior department today.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—0. P. Tucker, the deputy controller of the currency, today received a telegram from a government offl- cial at Altoona, Pa., stating that it was very doubtful whether Bank Examiner Miller committed suicide as reported. An officer of the bureau will likely be sent to Altoona with Miller's report on the condition of the sus- pended bank, and an effort will be made to arrive at a solution of the mystery. It is understood that Miller’s report showed that the bank was practicaliy without assets and that the shortage between cash and bills receivable traccable to the peculations of absconding Cashier Gardner will amount ap- Why They Were Not Protected.

Colonel Arkins first showed signs of breaking health last February, and on tho advice of physi- clans took a trip to the Pacific coast in the hope that rest and the sea air would restore him to health, He re'urned unimproved, and then was advised to go to Excelsior Springs, | Mo., where he spent several months, without the expected beneficial results. A fortnight ago he was brought home. He leaves a widow and one son. Colonel Arkins was a man of striking per- sonal appearance and in his frank, hearty manner there *flashed a magnetism that at- tracted Strangers and held his friends closest bond. His employes looked upon him as a friend and there was not a man in the N:ws office but stood ready to make al- most any sacrifice in carrying out his wishes, so great was their regard and love for him. He took hold upon the hearts of those who knew him and every man was his true friend and loyal supporter. He was a man of stal- wart figure and cxpressive face, whose bear- ing opoke of his intrepid courage and in- domitable will. Colonel Arkins was a native Pennsylvanian, having been borne in Fayette county, Feb- | ruary 1, 1842, While called colonel and while looking every inch a soldier born to com- mand, the title was only honorary. It was his pride that in the civil war he never got above the rank of corporal. This was In company A of the Fifth Minnesota infantry. He promptly cnlisted in what proved a cele- brated regiment, and served three years. Its chaplain was the now famous Archbishop Ireland, and for him Private Arkins formed a great attachment, which continued to his death. Colonel Arkins' experience with war Ieft its effect upon his after life and brought out the genial side of the man and even far along into his illness, almost to the end, he remained an entertaining companion, with an apt anecdote and a good story always at his tongue’s end. All through the northwest and south as far as New Orleans Colonel Arkins worked at the printers' trade after the close of the war. In 1873 he came to Colorado and for several years worked as compositor and foreman in Denver off When the Leadville boom began he went into the new mountain mining camp and estableshed the Evening Chronicle. It was Lis first news- paper venture, and the latent talents of the man leaped into active life. The Chronicle made a great success and became a power in politics. In 1830 he sold the Chronicle and bought an interest in the Rocky Mountain News, the oldest paper in Denver. His energy and vim began at once to make it successful. From a slow, humdrum sheet, the News became in a very short time a bright, newsy, aggressive newspaper. He found 'it in a little two-story, shabby frame building. He left it housed in a five-story Dbrick—a complete modern newspaper estab- lishment, grown since 1880. For over four- teen years he continued th> manager of the paper, making it a great success, not only financially, but as a newspaper of great and far-roaching writer influence. As an editorial he was practical, forceful and a carless. He was a nmian of acute and perceptions, of quick, nervous energy, and a_perseverance that yielded to no obstacle. He did not aspire to literary work. He was a newspaper man in the ! truest sense of the word. His whole heart was in his business, and his brains made a success of it. He was a steadfast, helpful friend. He was kindhearted, almost ex- travagantly generous, and always sympa- thetic and charitable. In politics he was a fighter of the old school, with an ardent, impulsive temperament, having a whip of scorpions always ready, but he was a manly foeman. Socially, a captivating and com- panionable man, he came to be known and admired through the whole broad fleld of Jjournalism. —_——— VESUVIUS IN OMAHA: Destruction of Pompeli to e Reproduced at Courtland Beach. Next Tuesday night thousands of Omaha people will probably be comfortably secated | in the large amphitheater at Courtland beach, witnessing the first production of Pain’s “Last Days of Pompeii,” if the weather permits it. Their thoughts will revert to the actual city of grandeur and beauty, located at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, in the zenith of Reme's wealth and power some eighteen centuries ago. As the performance progresses a trumpet is heard and from under the triumphal arches a group of soldiers emerge with standards and musical instruments, an- nouncing the coming of Arbaces, the wealthy Egyptian, who on this occasion has attempted tc dazzle the eyes of the Pompeiian populnc by a display of wealth, but more especially to gain favor with the falr Tone, who is his distinguished guest. The soldiers are followed by negro slave: priests and priestesses, flower and dancing girls, gladiators, musicians and senators, and under a canopy Arbaces himself. After crossing the piazza, howing to the honorable senators at the forum, the procession re- turns and waits the Egyptian’s greeting of lone and her attendants, who, with the Greek Glaucus, arrive by boat. The honored guests are then taken by galleys to tne magnificent residence of Arbaces, and from his portico watch the festivities Which now commence. Following the sports the sacred march is made to the temple of Isis, from which now emerge the priests and priest- csses, the idol to be worshipped and the high priest, whose appearance i¥ the signal for the multitude to kneel. Glaucus being a Christian ref on a combat with Arbaces. Vesuvius, which has for some time been quietly smoking, now suddenly emits a cloud of flame and smoke with a deafening roar, and lava pours down the mountain sides in torrents. Barth- quakes add to the catastrophy, buildings and temples fall and are burfed, and the destruction of the beautiful city is complet Following the volcanic eruption and the de- struction of the city comes the most magni- cent display of Pain’s famous Manhatian beach fiveworks, $1,000 being expended nightly in this one portion of the evening's ainment. e Harvest Excursion: The Western Passenger assoeiation has finally arranged harvest excursions, to be run on September 20 and October 9.

On the comp! on of her ch the rence to preparations she attempted to object of her ambition with re Corea, dispatching more troops to that country and attacking our men-of-war in the Corean seas, — She acted toward Japan In an exceedingly lawless manner. It is now beyond doubt that the object of China I8 to destroy the authority responsible for the muintenance of peace In Corea and to degrade into_obscurity that country which Japan introduced into the world as an in- dependent nation, to_ ignore the treaty, which clearly défined “her independence, and therel to injure the rights and inte ests of J:lrl n and destroy forever all surance “of peace in the east. Judg from the action of China 8o far her scheme must have aimed at the sacrifice of all peaceful guaranties and the accomplish- ment at all costs of her own objects. To this stage the situation has now developed. Though it has always been our desire to maintain peace with all nations, and in doing 80 to display the glory of our em- pire "at home and abroad, “we have no course open to us but to declure war, In the hope that we may be able to restore peace in good time and thus vindicate t prestige of Japan by the loyaity and the faithfulness of our subj CHINA TO BLAM Owing to the enactment of new press regulations on August 1, the Japanese papers give only meager detatls, strongly colored for Japanese reader: of war happenings, the new laws decreeing that editors publishing any- thing about the war without its first baing formally corrected and approved by govern- ment officers appointed for the purpose are liable to imprisonment, with hard labor, for a term of months and to a fine as well. Details of the engagements which resulted in the sinking of the British steamer Kow Shung, furnished by the Japanese, sub- stantiate the contention that the owners of the vessel should look to.

China " propbses that the for should be withdrawn entirely and a combna- tion made with the troops marching over- Isnd to constitite’ material for a new cam- paign. The report that a large force of Chinese troops facg.bemg maroked overland and that they arc now almost cn the bor- ders of Corea appears to be suthenticated by later advices. When Yun left Seoul he gave instructions to the head of the powerful Ming family that he would return to Corea with a large army. Not only were all d mands of the Japanese to be refused. but of- ficials belonging to the independent party sus- pected of Japanese Inclinations should be imprisoned and the ringleaders - punished with death. The third battle in the war between Japan and China was fought on July 29 at Solkan. The battle commenced at 3 o'clock in the morning and lasted with fearful slaughter for five hours. The Japanese eventually drove off the Chinese and captured the town of Solkan. There were 5,000 Japanese and 6,000 Chinese engaged. The Chinese fled, foliowed by the Japanese, who engaged them in another battle at Yashan. OF this battle no word can be received, aithough the cable at the time announced that the Japanese were believed to have been victorious. It Is thought the Japanese were defeated, as they have closed the postoffice, inspected the tele- graph office and -forbidden the papers to publish news. There has been another en- gagement since, but both nations have sup- pressed news of the battle. It is known that a number of war ships were engaged on both sides. The Chineso papers claim vic tory. Advices have been recelved of the captur by the Japanese of Li Hung Chang's old anu favorite dispatch boat, Bangyang. 4] It is reported that the government of Corea has formally notified Japan of her in- tention to sever all connection with China.
