SENATOR KILL'S RESOLUTION
Discussion of the Bearing It
fllig-ht Have on the Present
Strain3d Situation.
Washington, Aug. 12.— TMs has
been anything but a day ot rest for the
tariff leaders. They have been on the
go from early morning until late to
night. It has been a day of conferences
at the White house, at the private resi
dences of the conferees and at the
hotels. Secretary Carlisle was with
President Cleveland throughout the
afternoon. The senate and house con-
Eerees made no effort to get together,
md they remain as wide apart as when
their meeting broke up on FrlJay night.
The house conferees were in consulta*
(ion informally most of the day. al
though at no time were they all together
it once. Chairman Wilson spent tlio
lay with Representative Brelciiiiidee,
if Arkansas, at the Noriuaiulie hotel,
»ud was there c.ilied upon uy the other
ionferees. Mr. Wilson did not see the
president through the day. Tha uidet
ngs of the house men brought about a
inoroutrh understanding among them as
;o t!;e Hue of action at ttia caucus
tomorrow, and in the subsequent pro
ceedings of the senate and house. They
reviewed tha situation from every pos
eible point and prepared themselves
For All Emergencies.
As one ot them said tonight, it was
Coing over the field of battle and learn
ing the topography of the ground on the
night before the gre;it fight. At the
autsiU tlie house conferees satisfied
themselves of the parliamentary situa
tion of the bill. They had done this
with the greatest care towards securing
nu accurate and authoritative decision.
-Speaker Crisp had been asked to exam
ine with care the precedents bearing on
the case, and it was understood that he
had in turn consulted with Secretary
Carlisle, who, as ex-speaKer of the house
of representatives, is regarded as one of
the best authorities on parliamentary
procedure. From the examinations
which had been made, the conferees
were fully satisfied that the house of
representatives had the right to pass
the senate bill now or at any time. This
determination went much further than
ha 3 heretofore oeen understood. It was
that the house, having the actual physi
cal possession of the tariff bill, could
pass it with the senate amendments be
fore the Hill resolution passed tomor
row, or after the Hill resolution was
defeated. That is, so confident were
the house conferees of their right to
pass the bill at any time that they re
garded their ritrhts as entirely unaffect
ed oy anything the senate could do
with
The Hill Resolution
or with any other resolution. They
rerognized that there were some pre
cedents aeahist this position, but they
regarded the overwhelming force of au
thority with them, and they therefore
accepted it as settled that the house had
6tipreme authority over the bill without
reference to what the senate might do
tomorrow or thereafter. This conclusion
was of the utmost importance in bear
ing on the action of the caucus tomor
row. It assured them, in the first place.
tbat there was no need of precipitate
action toward accepting the senate bill
before Mr. Hill's resolution had passed.
This resolution could be taken up in the
senate at 11 o'clock, and it had been
feared at first that the house caucus,
which begins at 1 o'clock, would be com
pelled to take l*asty action in accepting
the senate bill in order to prevent the
house from losing its opportunity to
pass the senate bid by the adoption of
the Hill resolution. It was azroed,
lw.vever, that no such haste was neces
sary. On the contrary, it was felt that
the house, in having possession of the
bill and a parliamentary right to pass it
at any time, had everything to gam and
nothing to lose by deliberate action,
fader these circumstaucea it was
deemed advisable to
In! crin tlie House Fully
Bs to the situation, nnd to explain that
precipitation in accepting the senato
amendments would gain nothing, while
deliberate action in waiting to see what
the senate would do might accomplish
much good. It was pointed out in this
connection that the house need be in no
fear of the Hiil resolution being rushed
through. Mr. Wilson and his associates
have some strong friends in the senate,
notably Senators Vilas, Gray, Lindsay
and others, who could, if the occasion
required, insist on a very complete de
bate of the Hill resolution, which might
last from day to day. This the house
conferees regarded as assuring them a
breathing spell, and as making it plain
that the house need not rush to its con
clusion. In entertaining these views
the house, conferees did not believe that
it was necessary or prudent for the
liouse caucus tomorrow morning to then
and there pass a resolution to at once
accept th>; senate bill. Tbey realize the
situation is so critical that the question
of accepting the senate bill might come
before the caucus and develop such
overwhelming and resistless strength
that it would be useless to oppose it.
They were prepared for this emergency,
and were ready to accept it if it came.
They would not, however, counsel it
tfaemsejvcs, and if itcarue it would
be the outgiowth of this
Spontaneous Sentiment
in the caucus. It was felt, however,
that a dispasbiouate statement »f the
fTjS rf*rTL'**i" -if * jt t w^^-^. \ \ *P^Jl _j j^^^JN^^l
cnse, showing that the house would lose '
hone of its rights to pass the senate bill
by deferring action for a day or so,
would bring about a conservative result
in the caucus. Exactly what this action
will bo was not definitely outlined, al
though the house conferees felt that it
perhaps be best for the caucus to
*;1j iiirn and wait to see what the senate
flid. Then, if need be, another caucus
could be neld and more intelligent ac
tion taken after the senate had acted.
In the meantime the house would lose
nothing. If tho Hill resolution was
defeated— and the house conferees think
ilmt ere is an even chance of Its de
feat—then the conference batween the
senate- and house could be resumed,
with every prospect, in the judgment of
the house conferee?, that a speedy
agreement and report could be reached.
If, on the other hand. It was passed,
then the second caucus could accept the
senate bill or take such other action as
it desired. In any event, the house
conferees felt there would be nothing
lost by waiting for the senate to. show
what it intended to do. As yet they say
the Hill resolution and similar moves In
the senate are merely menaces, anj.l it is
'well enough to wait to see if they be
come accomplished facts. Meantime
the senate is quiescent, and is disposed
to remain In inactivity until the house
shall have had an opportunity to ex
press itself upon the situation. There is
undoubtedly a desire on the part of a
a large majority of the Democratic sen
ators, practically all of them, unless it
may be the Louisiana senators, to have
the house take possession of the bill.
This is due to the general belief in the
senate that the house will accept the
senate amendments, and that
The Senate BUI
will thus become a law, and to the fear
that it the bill should again go to the
senate it would bu indefinitely post
poned, while, on tho other haul, it is
believed that if the house should agree
to the senate amendments the senate
would acquiesce in this action and
waive the technical question which
might be raised over tlu disposition of
tlit bill. It is understood that Senator
) Hill, notwithstanding ULs opposition to
I the bill, would be dUposji to accept
' the favorable action of the house as
final aud to permit the bili to go the
; president without, raising any parlia
! mentary questions concerning it. The
1 Hill resolution nas had its day in court,
1 has gone to the calendar and
I could not b3 taken up except
i upon a vote from the senate, It is also
{ suggested that without the actual dos-
I session of the bili a motion for indefinite
postponement would be out of order,
and that the only process by which the
: senate could secure pos session would
■ be through a motion to reconsider its
I action granting a conference and then
; to ask the house to return the bill.
I There would be two difficulties in the
| way of tne execution of this plan. Re
consideration could not, in view of the
lapse of time sim:e the grunting of the
conference, be had except by unani
mous consent, aud, even with this se-
cured and the re finest made upon the
house, the return of the bill would de
pend upon the courtesy of that body.
It would, therefore, seem that the sen-
ate can do nothing with reference to the
tariff at the present stage.
ADJOUiiXJIKNT IX SIGHT
If the Tariff Bill Is Gotten Out of
the Way This Week.
Washington. D. C, Aug. 12.— The
hope is general about the senate that
the present will be the last week of the
session. This is based upon the belief
that the tariff bill will be . disposed of
early in the week, and, with the tariff
out of the way, final adjournment can
be brought about at almost any time.
JN'one of the appropriation bills except
the sundry civil and the general de
ficiency are yet to be acted upon to any
extent by either house, and these two
are in such an advanced stage in
conference that a day of zealous work
would probably suffice to put them both
in shape to be sent to the president. The
Chinese treaty is the only other business
that would hold congress for a day, and
this is also in condition to be taken
up and voted upon at tomorrow's
session. When the senate adjourned on
Friday, after giving the greater part of
the day to the treaty, there was an
understanding: that the senate should go
into executive session on Monday im
mediately after the reading of the jour
nal for the purpose ot taking the vote
upon the treaty, it was also agreed
that this should be done without further
debate. The order for the business for
tomorrow, presumably after the treaty
shall have been passed upon, will be
Senator Chandler's resolution for the
investigation of the Alabama elections.
After that all is uncertain, and there
is no prearranged programme for
the entire week. Almost every
thing will depend upon the ac
tion ot the house on the tariff
bill, but, whatever that action may be.
it can be counted upon as quite certain
that the two remaining appropriation
bills will receive final attention some
time during the weak. The conference
report on the sundry civil bill has
already bean lamely disposed of, and it
is not probable that much more time
will be spent upon it. The conference
committee on the general deficiency
bill has been in session all day, notwith
standing it is Sunday, and it will be in
shape for early prosentatiou to both
houses. If. therefore, the House should
decide to accept the senate amendments
to the tariff bill, the senate could be
prepared to suspend proceedings on
almost any day after Tuesday. if the
house should decide upon tho opposite
course, there is no saving what might
happen in the senate. The tariff is
engrossing the attention of the house,
and it has so far no programme what
ever for the week.
MONEY FOX INDIANS.
Considerable Amount Being Paid
for Lands.
Washington, Aug. 12.— A compara
tive statement of appropriations and
expenses of the bureau of Indian affairs
has been compiled by Commissioner
Browning. It shows that the total
amount covered by the Indian appro
priation bill for the fiscal year 1894 was
?7,854,240, and for 1895, £9,333,830. The
total appropriation for 1593 Includes
payments to the Yanktons, Yakimas,
Coeur d'Alene, Siletz and ■ Nez Ferces
for lands and payment of damages to
settlers on the Crow Creek and Winne
bairo reservations, aggregating $2,586,
--810. The amount left for current ex
penses for ti.e present fiscal year is
56,752,0C1, a reduction of .■?G44,150 iii favor
of 1893, For every purpose except for
payment for lands considerable less is
appropriated for ls'.io than 1894, and the
total appropriation is $179,093 loss than
the estimates made by the office.

ABLE TO HIT THE SEA,
But Nothing- Else in the Wide
World— The Japs En

ATTACK ON WEI-RAI-WEI
Merely a Ruse to Test the
Position and Strength of
Chinese Guns.
ShahghAl, Aue. 12.— The Japnn«r« '
squadron that attacked Wei-Ilai-Wei
Friday, reports of winch engagement
were cabled to the Associated Press
yesterday, consisted of t%venty vessels.
It is not definitely known how many of
the fleet were men-of-war. The ships
drew up in line of battle off the port
and opt-ned fire early Friday morning.
There wree no Chinese war ships in the
vicinity, and the engagement was en
tirely between the Japanese men-of
war and the forts. The whereabouts of
the Chinese fleet were unknown. The
forts, however, were ablo without
much difficulty to repulse the attack-.
About fifty shuts were exchanged, but
no material damage was done on either
side. The soldiers manning the guns of
the fortifications showed themselves to
be lamentably deficient in marksman
ship. Most of their shots were ill-di
rected, the shells either falling short of
the vessels aimed at or going wide of
their marks. When the fleet withdrew
it proceeded to Port Arthur, which
place it attacked Friday evening. Lit
tle, if any, damage is reported to have
been done at this latter place. The op
orations are regarded as having been
not attempts to capture either Wei-Hai-
Wei or Port Arthur, but simply ruses
on the part of the Japanese commander
to ascertain the exact position and
strength of the Chinese guns at the two
places. Thursday last two small Chi
nese gun boats were sighted going at
fill speed iv the direction of Tieu-
Tsin.
THE ATTACK CONFIRMED.
Jap 3 Found the Chinese Ready
for Them.
London*, Aug. 12.— The Times tomor
row will publish a dispatch from Tien-
Tsin confirming the Associated Press
dispatches of an attack by the Japanese
fleet upon the Chinese port of Wei-Hai-
Wei and its repulse. The Times dis
patch says that twenty-one Japanese
war sMlns made an attempt to capture
Wei-Hai-Wei, but found the fortifica
tions guarding the fort were too strong
to allow any entrance being forced.
The war ships attempted to run the
forts, but were driven back by a heavy
fire from the large Armstrong guns that
are there mounted on disappearing car
riages. Finding itself compelled to
draw otf out of range of the guns, the
fleet went about and headed for Port
Arthur, on the other side of the bay,
with the evident intention of making an
attempt. When the fleet arrived at
Port Arthur the place was found ore
pared to resist an attack. The war
snips fired a few shots at the forts, and
were promptly answered, and then all
the fleet departed.
A dispatch to the Times from Shang
hai says that the Chinese official report
of the eunagement at Wei-Ilai-Wei
states that only twenty-six shots were
exchaujjed between the Japanese war
ships and the forts. The report adds
that one of the Japanese ships was hit
three times and another once. The fire
of the wir snips did no damage to the
forts.
ALL EYES ON GAZEX.
The Result of the Fight There
Awaited With Interest.
Washington, Aug. 12.— Officials of
the Japanese legation here are without
any information respecting the reported
fighting at Wel-Hai-Wei and Port
Arthur on the Chinese coast. They are
inclined to the belief that the home
government is awaiting full and com
plete reports of the battles, as it had
regarding the tight at Gazen. Korea,
before advising its representatives
abroad. Much interest in the move
ments against the above-named place is
felt by officials of the government here.
At or near Port Arthur Li Hunt: Chang
has his great military stores, arsenals
ana other resources for a continuation
of warlike operations.
Both Port Arthur and Wei-Hai-Wei
are in the line of direct route by water
to the mouth of the Pei-Ho river, by
which the city of Peking can be
reached, and any movement against the
former places is likely to be a factor
in the attempt which many persons
here ;believe Japan will make to over
throw the dynasty at Peking.

A QI'AHIt|.;i.R()MK LAWYER
Precipitates a Fatal Row on Cora
Island.
New York, Aug. 12.— Tho American
schooner George W. Whitford arrival
this morning from Com island, Nicara
gua, with a cargo of cocoanuts. Th*
Whitford brings news of au encounter
between the natives and a few Nicafa»
ruan soldiers on July 5 last, during
which four of the soldiers were killed
and two wounded. From what could be
learned aboard the Whitford, it appears
that about July 4 a lawyer named Rus
sell, who is a Jamaican, called on Go»»
Maximo Diaz in reference to a lawsuit
in which he had been retained as couu*
sel. The governor declined to examine
the papers, as they were not in Spanisft,
and this led to a heated discussion
between them and ended by
•the governor's tearing to pieces
the lawyer's papers. This enraged
Russell and he proceeded to lecture the
governor severe! The eovernor threat
ened to arrest him, but did not do so,
there being no one present at thu time
except the governor's secretary. Russell
defied the governor to do his worst, and
orders were sent at once to Bluefields
for troops to aid the governor in arrest
ing the lawyer. Meanwhile Russell had
gathered about him several of his
friends, and openly delied the governor
to arrest him. On tneir arrival the
troops were ordered to arrest Russell at
once. Russell refused to surrender, and
'his party lired on the soldiers, killine
'four and wounding two. The governor's
secretary was wounded slightly, as was
'also a merchant who was riding on
horseback through the street. It was
not known whether any of Russell's
friends had been killed or wounded."
Russell and his friends thought their
victory offered a good opportunity to
settle other grudges, so with the other;
they set out to wipe the Nicaraguan
'officials from tho face of Corn island.
They ran upaaaiust the remainder of
Uhe troops, three in number. Two more
were killed. The only one left went
•into hiding, leaving the governor and
'his secretary to the tender niercy of the
> Jamaican aud his tollowiug. 'Russell
advanced on the government house,
■and the governor and his secretary re
treated to the cellar and barricaded
themselves. In the shooting, the secre
tary, who was- wounded, opened fire
with a horso pistol, wounding Mr. Gale,
one of Mr. Russell's friends. Then the
rebels retreated to the bush. From
thence they made another onslaught,
burning two government houses and
the pier. This last act inflamed the
populace, and persons who had hereto
lore been neutral surrounded the Rus
sell party, and on the following day
Gale and several others, presumably
confederates, were captured. Russell
and Lincoln escaped in a dory, but
later weie captured at Port Liiuon. •■ .
Diaz emerged from his retirement
and put ail hands in jail. Then he re
signed, leaving a strong recommenda
tion that the prisoners be sentenced to
the full penally for the insult to .Nica
ragua. In Central America this means
death. When the facts of the occur
rence readied the British authorities,
Russell being a British subject, it
looked as if an explanation would be
demanded from Diaz. Later, however,
it was found that the affair was not
looked upon as an indignity to Eng
land, but rather as a street brawl, so
Great Britain is said to have dropped it.
ANARCHISTS ACQUITTED.
Only Three of a Band of Thirty
Found Guilty.
Paris, Aug. 12.— trial of the
thirty anarchists before the assizes
court ended today in the acquittal of all
but tin of the accused. After counsel
for the defense had finished their
speeches, Fauer, Grave, Bastard and
Bern aid addressed the court protesting
their innocence. Their remarks were
couched in moderate language, lacking
in every respect the usual rant of the
anarchists. The case was then given to
the jury who spent two hours and a
quarter in considering the sixty ques
tions put to them by the judges. The
verdict was that the charge against the
prisoners of belonging to a criminal
association was not prove Chericotte,
Bertaui and Artis were found guilty of
robbery and of having been in illegal
possession of weapons. All the others
were declared not guilty of the charges
against them, and were discharged from
custody. Artis was sentenced to fifteen
years' imprisonment at hard labor;"
Chericotte to eight years, and Beriani
to six months. The end of the trial was
marked by no incident. Those wh o had
been acquitted lefc the court loom
quietly.
The Brakes Failed. '.
London, Aug. 12.— An accident that
caused great excitement occurred this
morning at the St. Pancreas station in
this city. The Scotch express train ar
rived in the station at 6:30 a. m .■■.-. In
stead of slowing up the. train dashed
ahead and overshot the buffer stops at
the end of the rails. The forward por
tion of the train, including a Pullman
car, was wrecked, and nineteen passe v-,
sera were injured. The engine driver
and stoker had a marvelous escape from
death. The accident was due to the
unexplained failure of the brakes to
work.

With Terrific Force.
The trains met on a slight curve and
'came together with terrific force. Both
engineers applied the air-brakes and
reversed their engines, which action
alone was the cause of saving many
lives. As soon as the passengers and
■ those of the train crew not hurt recov
-1 ored from the shock, they proceeded to
•rescue the unfortunate victims. Engi
neer Humphreys, of no. 4, was found at
his post with one of his limbs cut off at
the thigh and his head almost split in
two. He died in a few minutes. Ex
press Messenger Caplinger was instantly
killed. E. E. Derrick, the express mes
senger and baggageman of No. 5, had
a very narrow escape, and his injuries
may yet prove fatal. The mo
mentum forced him through the side
of the car and landed him on the
embankment about tifty feet away. His
face was mashed to a jelly and his body
terribly cut and bruised. There was
but one physician on the train. He was
kept busy until Train No. 5 was run
back to Hurd for assistance. None of
the passngere on No. 4 were injured.
Engineer Daly.and FiremenFogarty and
Skyles
Saved Their Lives
by jumping. General Manager Frey
was on the west-bound train, and gave
directions and superintended the work
of relief. The passengers in the smoker
and chair cars of No. 5 were badly
shaken up. Justin McCarthy, of Chi
cago, was sitting In one of the reclining
chairs, and was hurled through a win
dow and landed ou a clay bank about six
feet from the track. His injuries were
not serious, having suffered but a
slight gasli on his head and hand. Walter
L. Durbin, of Milwaukee, was in the
smo ker next to the baggage car, and
was. also thrown through a window,
cutting his ankle, lie had a narrow
escape, being hurled almost forty feet,
and landed within two feet of where the
loconi olive lay on the track. Conductor
Clegern was iv charge of No. 5. He
handed his order to the Associated
Press reporter, which showed clearly
that the two trains were to meet at
Gibbs. The officers of the Santa Fe
here say the conductor and engineer of
train No. 4 were responsible for the ac
cident, having disobeyed orders to meet
No. 5 at Gibbs. The engineer being
killed outright, no statement, of course,
could be secured from him; but the con
euctor s ates that lie entirely over
looked the order. The total damage to
property will not exceed $14,000.

ARMY PROMOTIONS.
Somo Changos Scheduled for tile
Future.
On the Bth day of November MaJ.
Gen. O. 0. Howard will be retired and
Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Ruger will bo
promoted to the grade of major general.
On the 29th day of September. 1895,
Mnj. Gen. J. M. Schofield will be re
tired, and trio vacancy thus created will
bo filled by the promotion of Brig. Gen>
Wesley Merritt. The vacancies created
by the promotion of Ruger and Merritt
will be tilled by the president by selec*
tions from the army at large, but as Col.
\V. R. .Shatter is the senior colonel of
Infantry and Col. James W. Fof*
sythe is the senior officer of cavalry,
Rnd both have good war records,
It is most likely that they
will succeed to the vacancies. By the
retirement of Maj. Gen. Schofield Mtoji
Gen. Nelson A. Miles will become the
senior major general, and therefore tire
commander of the army. He will not
be retired until Aug. 8, 1993. In the
meantime, all the brigadiers will have
reached theirsixty-fourth year and been
retired; so will all of the colonels aud
lieutenant colonelsof artillery, all of the
colonels of cavalry except Wade, and
all of the lieutenant colonels except
Sumner, Perry, Young and Bacon. In
the Infantry there will be only three
colonels, De liussey. Bates and Burt,
and only ten of the present lieu
tenant colonels of that arm
of the service, W. L. Kelloirg, E. R.
Kellogg, Overshtne. Page, Brady,
Parke. Theaker, Van Valzah, Moale
and Kline. Of those who will be on
the active list when Miles retires
only two attained the rank of col
onel during the late war. It will be
safe tosay,should Miles live to be sixty
four years old, his successor will be one
who had little or no experience in the
handling of men in the late war.
None of those who will be on
tne active list in 1903 are
graduates of West Point. This will be
readily understood .vlien it is remem
bered that in 1801 the youngest graduate
was about twenty-three years old, while
the young men who entered the volun
teer service and fought their way updid
so at the age of eighteen or less."
Should this country become Involved
in war after 1903 new leaders will have
to come to the lront and "win their
spurs" as they did in ISOI.

WALES ON THE CHICAGO
ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT OF
THE BRITISH PRINCE.
The American Marines Catch the
Royalists in Fine Style— The
. Prince Pleased.
Loxdox, Aug. 12.— During the fetes
in London some time ago, iv honor of
the officers of the American cruiser
Chicago, which was then lying at
Gravesend, the Prince of Wales ex
pressed to Admiral Erben and Capt.
Mahan a desire to visit the vessel the
nt'xt time she was at Cowes. The
prince's engagement to visit the Chi
catro Saturday was faxed at a recent
dinner given on board the royal yacht
Osborue. Accordingly, the prince's
pinnace arrived alongside the Chicago
at exactly seven bells Saturday. As he
stepped aboard the cruiser a salute
of twenty-one guns was fired, the
British ensign was hoisted at the fore
truck and the yards were manned by
the crew. Admiral Erben, Capt. Mahan,
Lieutenant Commander Potter and
Lieut. Clover greeted the royal party as
they came aboard the ship. Ths Prince
of Wales wore the uniform of a British
admiral, and the Duke of York that of a
post-captain, while the members of the
prince's suite were attired in the uni
forms of their respective ranks. A
guard of marines was drawn upon the
port side of the quarter deck, and they
were carefully inspected by the prince.
The sun was shining brightly, and the
brilliant uniforms and snow white
decks made a picturesque scene. At the
request of the prince, all of the officers
of the Chicago were presented to him in
turn. The royal party was then escorted
to all the different parts of the
ship except sick bay. This latter part
of the ship the prince particularly de
sired to see, but was unable to do so,
owing to the accident that had occurred
to Seamau Hill, who had fallen from
aloft just as the prince was boarding the
vessel. The prince remarked that he
understood the American medical de
partment was the best equipped iv the
world. The members of ths royal party
repeatedly expressed their admiration
of the appearance of the vessel. On
quitting the Chicago the Prince of
Wales expressed the pleasure that his
visit had afforded him.
The officers and the crew of the Chi
cago are elated with the success of their
boat's crew in Friday's regatta, as they
beat several heretofore unbeaten crews.
Some feeling is expressed at the cold
ness displayed by the spectators ashore.
The men declare that had a British boat
won a victory in American waters, her
crew would have received a far better
reception than was giveu to them here.
Industrials Ticketed West.
Washington, Aug. 12. — Another
contingent of the industrials marched
to the railroad station tonight, where
they were provided with transportation
over the Chesapeake ft Ohio railroad.
There were sixty-five in the party, and
their destination is thought to be in the
vicinity of Kansas City. The others
remaining will be, it is expected, pro
vided with transportation, and it is
hoped to have them all out of the city
by Tuesday.

of Railway Securities for
Higher Prices.
6pee!al to the Globe.
New York, Aug. 12.— The move
ments of the market for the week just
ending undoubtedly indicate an im
provement in the situation. For some
time past it has been fluctuating alter
nately under the influence of hope and
fear; but now its undertone is gradually
broadening and strengthening, and
there is a marked tendency tc» discount
a generally clarified financial atmos
phere. It looks as though we have seen
the worst of everything, and that the
pendulum is at last going to swing the
other way. Outside of the all-important
tariff question, the corn crop has again
beei. the greatest factor in the market
for the past few days. The "bears"
have bean actively engaged in pouuding
the grangers, basing their action on the
prospect of reduced dividends on these
securities, as a result of the prospective
corn shortage. Their efforts to bring
out long stock, however, have not been
particularly successful, and they find it
difficult to cover their contracts without
bidding up the market. The damage is
almost exclusively confined to three
states— lowa, Nebraska and Kansas—
and in those states it almost proximates
a calamity, and is probably
Not Exaggerated;
but in the other states the croD will be a
fair average to a large one, owing to the
increased acreage due to the low price
of wheat last year and the comparative
ly good price for corn. The crop in
those states will largely offset the short
age caused by drouth -probably more
than now expected. The estimated
yield is at present only a Blatter of pri
vate estimates, which vary all the way
from 1.400,000,000 to 1,600,000,000 bush
els, with the chances from all the data
received that the latter will be-about
what this year's crop of coru will
amount to. There is a good and grow
ing demand for the low-priced non
dividend stocks and the cheap bonds.
The feel ins: is that a great many of
these securities have been in such dis
favor for a Ion? time past that tbey
have been unduly depressed, and that
when an improvement becomes general
securities of this class are going to re
spond quickly. Gold shipments have
practically ceased to be a factor in the
market, as only small amounts of the
precious metal have been shipped dur
ing the week, and the ease in exchange
does not indicate a reuewal of ship
ments in the near future. Washington
advices ■
Rcsardiag the Tariff
continue very conflicting and tend
toward keeping stock* feverish, and
while there is so much uncertainty
among our legislators the same feeling
- must naturally exist in Wall street cir
cles. The feeling that some definite
decision, one way or the other, will soon
be arrived at is gaining ground, how
ever, and this feeling Is doing a good
deal toward hastening the return of
confidence. The stock of manufactured
goods in the United States is lower than
it has been for a great many years, and
there will soon be actual necessity for
at least a partial resumption of business
on the part of manufacturers. A
speedy settlement of the tariff debate
will give them a basis on which to start
in, and that is all that 13 needed. - The
entire stock market has fully discounted
all adverse factors, and will now
commence to consider and be gov
erned by what is to come and not what
has passed. The present conditions will
be lost sight of and give way to those
that may be expected to prevail six
months hence and thereafter. By that
time 1 do not hesitate to say that the
railroad earnings will have returned to
their normal condition, and general
activity in commercial channels will be
restored. The thing to do now, there
fore, Is to discount a -general improve
ment in the future. I recommend buy
ing stocks now for higher prices. The
sharp advance during the last few days
in Louisville & Nashville and Western
Union properties, which are not directly
affected by either the crop or tariff
news, furnishes a sample of what we
can expect with a removal of existing
unfavorable influences.

SECURITIES BOOM
Upon the Cut of Interest Rates by
London Banks.
Londox, Aug. 12.— The reduction by
the joint stock banks of the rates of in
terest on deposits caused a revival of
speculation at the stock exchange dur
ing the week. The prohibitive prices of
gilt-edged securities has given second
and third-rate investments a chance. A
strong rise in home railway securities
was the feature of the week. But for
the unfortunate Atchison disclosures,
which are denounced here as the worst
specimen seen in many years, there
would probably have been large buying
of American securities. As it was, tho
prospect of a settlement of the Ameri
can tariff question tempted many buy
ers, and strengthened prices, the" belief
beiu'g that the commercial crisis in the
United States had reached its turning
point. Foreign securities, Including
South Americans, were all firm. The
next settlement promises to be active.
Brokers are thankful because of the
prospect of a revival of business. The
European bourses are equally animated. I

VTjsslow, N. J.. Aug. 12.— Thomas
Delbridire, aged thirty, an Englishman,
shot and instantly killed Georgia Spear
man, a handsome mulatto woman, about
f orty-three years of age, at the June*
tion house in this village this afternoon.
The murder was cold-blooded and de
liberate. Roth well & White, proprie
tors of the hotel, formerly ran a house
at a sea shore resort, employing Del
bridge and the woman as servants, and,
the two became very intimate. A few
months ago they moved to this village
and assumed the management of the
Junction house. They brought the
woman with them, but left IM bridge
behind. Several weeks ago Delbridge
turned up in Wilislow and was given
odd chores to do around the hotel. He
resumed his intimacy with the mulatto
woman. Delbridge went to an upper
room in the hotel today and carefully
loaded a shotgun, then went into the
kitchen where his victin was working,
and deliberately sliot her in the head,
killing her iDStaatly. He then sat
quietly down to await arrest. The
woman was iv a delicate condition, and.
Delbridge's responsibility for it is sus
pected to have supplied the molive ?o*
the deed.
Delbiidge was locked up tonight in
th?» Camden jail. He admits the shook
ing, but will not go into details.
SHOT AN AIiDKRMA.V.
Street Railway Owner Too FreQ
With His Gun.
Bextox Harbor. Mich . Aug. 12.—
Alderman Charles Schriver was shot in
the leg by W. W. Bean, owner of the
St. Joseph and Benton Harbor electric
railway, early this morniug. Several
months ago Bean's franchise exoireif,
and two weeks ago he was notified to
remove a certain portion of the track to
permit street paviug.Last night the pav
ing work was stopped on account of the
tracks not having been moved. The
city marshal, with gome aldermen and.
forty laborers, went to the scene at 4:30
this morning to remove the tracks*.
Bean was there with several employes
and a deputy sheriff. When the mar
shal's men begau to move the tracks
Bean fired a gun at Schriver, wounding;
him badly in the leg and hand. Uthera

arrested Bean. At 11 o'clock work was
resumed by the marshal's party under

believe the shooting was ac3idemal.
