Biiter Feeling Be w:en Members So Em- barrasses Meetings Toat No Tarff Progress Is Made. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15.—There is a deadlock in the tariff conference com- mittee and apparently no immediate vrospect of agreement. No session was held to-night and none last night. The only uted amendments known to have been ugreed upon are the rates on white pine lumber and various items of the wool schedale. The House conferces have been sus. tained in their demand for a tax of $2 per nd on whie pine, as against the ratd of §1, and the advocates of the hirher Senate rates upon carpet wools ve been‘sustained. This is subject to nee, however, us manufacturers of riain grades of carpets have protested and may succeed in reopening the whole question. The sugar schedule is still unsettled, and if the statement of one of the House con.erees is to be reiied on the schedule Las not been formaily considered by the mmittee.

The feeling between the Benate and House members has become so vitter at some of the sessions of the commiltee that no headway whatever has been made. So far as Speaker Reed is concerned he has un- doubtedly adhered to his purpose of se- curing a report favorable to the House schedules, This, however, has been his attitu ie from the beginning. attempted to interfere directly with the work of the conference, and it i3 not at all necessary that he shouid, as Dingley is v tion and is present at every session of the conference, watchful of the interests of the House bill. Toe members of the House are much more emphatic in announcing their pur- pose to remain firm than the Senators are gives rise to some suspicion oi their sin- ! cerity. Itis understood that some mem- | bers are favoring a plan to bhave the | various State delegations meet and re- | solve not to support the conference in the { House if the conferees suall yield to the | Senate in any important particuiar.

Kansas City Police Comm ssiore's Order That Female Prison:rs Shall Weor Qveralls and Break Stcn . KANSAS CITY, Mo, July —The order of the Police Comm ssioners of Kan- sas City, Kans.,, that women prisoners must work on the stone pile along with { and has not yet been put into effect. Per- haps it may . rcever be. The Current Event Club, an organization of women, has expressed itseif as immeasurably shocked and has called an indignation meeting to protest against the ‘‘threatened disgrace and degradation of woman- hood.” The members threaten that the enforce- ment of the order means the retirement of the Police Commissioners from office at the first opportunity, and as women vote Kansas municipal elections, the threat | is not regarded a< & together an idle one | and may have its desired effeci. The principal objection to the rock-pile plan 1s that part of the order compelling the women to work without skirts and to wear overalls instead. The police offic stand by their order and say that the women prisoners whose fines are not paid will go to the rock pile. —_——— DROWNED IN 1HE PISCAQUUG. Foolhardy Trip oy Five Young Men on a Swollen River. MANCHESTER, N. H., July 15.—Five younz meun employed in Baldwin’s bob- bin-shop ventured out on the swollen Piscaquog River in an old scow without oars, depending for the guidance of the |'boat uvpon a man with a board. The | rains of the last two days had caused a tiood, and the river was a raging torrent. The men were unable to control the old bulk, and in a short time it wasswept over the dam, the occupants, in their efforts to prevent this, losing the board they used for paddling. When the boat went over the dam it fell bottom upward, with the men under. i Three got clear, but only two were able to reach the ghore, and, altbough the other man was an expert swimmer, he was drawn under by the strong current. Those drowned were Frank Simard, Joseph Lavorie and George Tirrien, all single. Thomas Tierrien and William Luvorie were swept close in shore, and by hard swimming got within reach of those who had gathered along the river banks and were dragged out. The bodies of the three youths may never be recovered, for the current is likely to carry them out to sea. SR i ey Insurance Cosnpany War, CHICAGO, Irv, July 15.—A rate war has been declared between union and non- union insarance companies, which, it is believed, will result in a general reduc- tion in the cost of policies en dwellings and ' contents, churches, schoolhou-es and contents, and on brick m reantile buildings in Chicago and Cook County. The reduction in premiums will amount to from 25 to 50 percent, and is the re. sult of a new schedule of prices on this class of buildings which goes into effect atonce in the northern part of Iilinois outside of Cook County and the. southern part of Wisconsin. —————— Christian Endeavorers—Yel- lowstone Park Trin, It has been reported that the Northern Pa- cific Railway have booked all the Yellowstone Park business that they will be able to handle, 1 take this method of denying the rumor and will state that weare prepared to handle ali parties that cesire to make the trip.

England Hopes to Get the Conven- tion for 1900—Mess:ge From the President. TORONTO, OxtaRIO, July 15.—There is scarcely a city of importance in the United Siates or Uanada not represented bv the thousands of delegates to the Epworth League Convention that have been flock- ing to this city for the past twenty-four hours to attend the big convention whch was opened to-day. By the time the con- vention was opened, shortly before noon, fully 20,000 delegates were in the city, and they are still arriving for the sessions to- morrow and Baturday. It will deubtless be the biggesi convention in the history of the league. Cleveland sent 300 delegates, headed by Governor Atkinson. Many delegates came from San Francisco and the West. The New York and Illinois delegations are the largest. The Southern States are well represented. At Massey Hall a big meeting was held this afternoon to formally weicome the delegates. An address was delivered by Hon. A. S. Hardy, Premier and Attorney- No one, he said, could look upon the work accomplished during the past seven or eight years by the league otherwise than with amaze- ment. It read like a fairy tale. Some- times a war-like feeling would flash up between England and America, but it would subside with sober second thought zlmost as rapidly as it had been aroused. There could be no war between these two | foremost Christian nations of the earth. The mural iforces of the two countries wou!d, in the last resort, prove too strong for war. Rev. Dr. Carman, general superintend- ent of the Methodist church of Canada, in his address of welcome said Methodism was providentially prepared for America, as this American continent was kept for popular en‘ranchisement and personal freedom. He said: ““We ecreatly admire and love the Nation of Washington and Lincoln; we delight in United States’ freedom, triumph in its moral victories, and we count it an unspeakable favor and honor to greet tha United States’ noble sons and daughters in this grand Epworth League Convention.'” Eloquent responses, full of the spirit of brotherly love and good fellowship, espe- cially between the people of Anglo-Saxon blood and Christian faith, were made by Bishop McCabe for the Methodist church, Rev. James Thomas of Little Rock, Ark., for the Methodist Church South, and Rev. Dr. Crane of Bombay in behalf of far-off Lndia. The general cabinet of the Epworth League continued its sessions at the Queens Hotel this morning. All the mem- bers were present. Bishop Ninde pre- sided. Bishop Walden was also present. The reading course to be used during the year was discussed and the following works approved: ‘“‘Picket Line of Mis. sions,” *Life of George Washington,” “Ministry of Art” and “Life on H:gh Lovels.” The most important feature of the con- vention will be the arrangement for the evolution from an internatioual to an in- tercontinental convention. Rev. Simpson Johnson, representing Wesley Guild of Manchester, Eng., is present to have the Wesleyan Methodist church of England included in the convention for 1900, which he hopes to secure for England. The following message from President McKinley was read by Dr. Berryman at the meeting.to-day: “I rejoice at the prosperity of your or- ganizaton and wish it a most successiul reunion.” 3 Dr. Berrvman proposed they should send McKinley the following reply, whieh was done: “Thanks and greetings from the thousands of Epworth League mem- bers. We pray heaven’s richest blessing upon the President ot the United Siates in the administration of his high office.’ Then, at the call of the chairman, ti e hearty cheers were given for Queen Vic- toria and three for President McKinley. These were followed by a combined “tiger” for both. *“‘God Savethe Queen’’ and “America” was then sung in alter: | nate voices, the effect being impressive, | There are 7,000, APPEAL BY WIRE T0 MARK HANNA His Influence Is Asked - in the Great Coal Strike. Commissioners Trying Hard to Promote the Uniform E€chedule. West Virginia Operators Will Confer With a View to an Increase of Wages. PITTSBURG, Pa, July 15.—Senator Mark Hanna has been appealed to by the Labor Commissioners, who have come here to adjust the miners’ strike in the Pittsburg district, believing that there 1s the key to the situation. They sent the fo lowing telegram to Hanna: “With your as istance we through a uniformity agreement. you lend us this assistance?”’ It is understood tnat recourse is bad to Hanna, not on account of his political influence, but because of his large inter- ests in Pittsburg and Ohio coal fields. At the lakes he is also a large purchaser of coal. Many of the smaller operators, and even some of big ones, sell almost their entire product to him. He has influence with the operators in the Pittshurg dis- trict, many of whom live in Cleveland. Calef and Ridgly, the Illinois Commis- sioners, left to-night for Chicago. They will try to induce Colonel W. P. Rend and Colonel J. W, Eisworth to come to Pitts- burg and lend their influence to the min- ing uniformity plan. Commissioner Mc- Cormack will go to Terre Haute to-mor- row to consult with the president of the Indiana Coal Operators’ Association. The Commissioners had anotber tulk with Operator de Armitt to-day and are convinced that he is sincere. They taiked with Frank L. Robbins, De A rmitt's chief opponent in coal quarrels, and he has promised to sign the uniformity agree- ment and to use his influence in its fa- vor. They have also talked with Dolan and Warner, and been assured that the pian is practicable. All that remains to be done is to get the other operators in line. Tuis will be hard to do on account of the feeling engendered by their quarrels with De Armitt for the last four years, but it is believed this feeling can be smoothed down and & solution of the strike evolved. Chairman Little is now working on a contract to be signed by 95 per cent of the operators of the distriet, and Pittsburz lawyers will also go 1o work on it. - There has been some talk of trouble being made on the differential in wages in favor of Ohio coal operators, but it is believed that the local operators are so anxious to start up their mines that they will not raise the question. River coal operators have agreed to sell no more coal ior the present to railroad operators, but to hold it for higher prices. bushels of coal in_the Monongahela River puols awaiting high water to float them to Cincinnati. One of the features of the present situa- tion is the position waken by Ratcbford, president of the Miners’ Union. Ratcn- tord has refused to come 1o Pittsburg to aid in the new movement. He has bren anxious to win thisstrike on bis own lines. The uniformity movement, if successful, will settle the strike here and everywhere else on lines not originated by Ratchiord. WHEELING, W. Va, July 15—The coal operators of Bouthern West Virginia voluntarily »ave their diggers another ad- vance of half a centa bushel this morn- ing. The coming of William Haskins, vice-president ot the Ohio Miners’ Union, was the cause, In Montg mery field a feeling of uneasiness has seized the opera- tors, but they think extra wages will carry the day. Emissaries of the Miners’ Union are working quietly among the men, bow- ever, and they hope to gather in mass- can put Wil | meeting all the diggers by Saturday night. One of the m st uniooked-for develup- ments among the miners is the large presence of Ohio diggers after jobs. Com- pelled o cease work in their own State, they are obtaining employment at West Virginia mines. arze numbers of them have gone to the Monongahela district. CINCINNATI, Onro, July 15.—The coal- miners oi the Kanawah district, and per- haps of all West Virginia, will probably get an advance of 14 cents on the ton in the next forty-eight hours. This information comes direct from the operators themselves. The advance will give the men 70 cents a ion, the highest price since 1892. In order to justify them- selves in giving this advance the West Virginia operators will raise the price of coal at the mines from 90 cents to $125 a ton. A delegation of West Virginia oper- ators is in Cincinnati to-day looking over the market, and a conference here re- sulted in a determination 10 raise wages. The operators returned bome to call a conference of all West Virginia oparators looking to an increase in every mine. ON THE DIAMOND.

NEXT CONVERTION League of Republican Clubs to Meet There Next Year. Secretary Dowling Re-elected by a Most Decisive Vote. Fallure of an Attempt to Congratu- late Speaker Reed Upon His Rulings. DETROIL, Mrcn., July 15.—The tional League of kepublican Clubs wiil meet at Omaha in 1898, When it was known the committee weould reportin vor of holding the next convention in Bryan’s State few doubted that Omaha bad a sure thing. buu the buttonboling of delegates by boomers from rival towns never ceased until the vote was taken. When the session opened President Crawford was in command. A. R. Smith of New York, representing the shipping interests, moved that copies of the resolu- tions for a low discriminating tariff favor of American shipping be sent to s Senators and Representatives. It was unanimously adopted. ‘The next thing was the resding of the list of State vice-presidents of the league and members of the committee of leazue workers. When it came to nominating candidates for secretary W. P. Payne of Chicago presented Ora A. Chapin. He made a bitter attack on Governor Tanner. Notwithstanding Michigan’s refusal to stand sponsor for Fred J. Bizkely some of his old Ohio friends insisted on nomina ing bim. His name was presented by Melville W. Hayes of Washington. e C- retary Dowling was nominated by D. J Rets, Clerk of the Minnesota Supreme Court. It was apparent from the cheers that greeted Mr. Dowling’s name that be was overwhelmingly the choice of the convention. The result was as follows: Dowling 1289, Chapin 35014, Biagely 352 The number necessary for a choice was 845. Frank J. Higgins of New Jersey was elected treasurer.
