SENATORS
WILL SIT
But Will Not Act Except
on Tariff
THE CURRENCY COMMISSION
WILL BE GIVEN THE CAREFUL
GO-BY
Tariff Conferees Expect to Report on
Thursday, and Final Adjourn
ment Will Follow
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, July 11— Beyond the
facts that the general deficiency appro
priation bill will be passed and that
the senate will stand ready to take up
the tariff bill at any time that a report
may be brought in by the conference
committee, little can be predicted of the
course of events in the senate during the
present week. The disposition is to do
little in the way of general legislation,
and there is a proposition under consid
eration by the leaders of the two sides
of the chamber to adopt the plan now in
vogue in the house for sitting only ev
ery third day after the deficiency bill
shall have been disposed of.
This suggestion has been made in view
of the possibility of pressure to take up
the matter of the appointment of a cur
rency commission. The impression
about the senate is that the house will
pass such a bill on the subject as the
president may recommend, but there Is
no probability that the senate will take
up the matter seriously. They desire to
make this intention clear by infrequent
meetings.
Tehre are, however, ■ matters on
the executive calendar u.mandlng at
tention and there may be an effort to
clear this calendar off during the week.
If such should prove to be the case there
would be more or less discussion in the
executive session over the McCord,
Warner and Goodnow nominations. The
friends of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty on the foreign relations commit
tee also hope to be authorized to report
a resolution at their meeting next
Wednesday, but it is by no means cer
tain that the committee will be able to
reach an agreement so soon.
Monday will be devoted to the general
deficiency bill, particular attention being
given to the provision for the purchase
of armor plate at $425 per ton. This por
tion of the bill will be seriously antag
onized and quite fiercely di bated.
Senator Harris of Kansas will en
deavor to get up his resolution regarding
the reorganization of the Union Pacific
railroad during the week, but in this he
will be opposed and is not likely to suc
ceed.
The tariff conference confidently ex
pects to bring in the tariff bill by Thurs
day. The length of the debate on the
report will depend upon how well the
senate conferees have succeeded in
maintaining the integrity of the senate
bill. The Democrats and other oppo
nents of the bill make no secret of their
intention to oppose the adoption of the
report if It appears that the amounts
which they were Instrumental in secur
ing, putting cotton bagging, cotton ties,
burlaps, paris green, etc., on the free
list, have been receded from.
Th senate will insist upon final ad
journment as soon as the tariff bill is
disposed of.
IN THE HOUSE
The house will adjourn from tomorrow
until Thursday. Its course thereafter
will depend on the condition of the tariff
bill.
IN CONFERENCE
Sunday's Session Sees Very Good Pro
gress Made
WASHINGTON, July 11.—The con
ferees on the tariff bill held a four-hour
session today. The anxiety to reach a
complete agreement as early as possible
induced them to meet on the Sabbath,
and tonight both the house and senate
conferees appear satisfied with the pro
gress that has been made. Several hun
dred of the minor amendments have
been agreed' upon, many of them mere
changes of phraseology, and on a large
majority of them the house conferees
naturally have yielded. None of the
really important problems in the bill,
however, have as yet been solved. All
of them have received more or less con
sideration, and there has been a free
exchange of opinions. The temper and
disposition of the senate and house con
ferees on these important matters have
in this way been ascertained. In sev
eral cases the conferees are very close
to an agreemept. Both sides show a
commendable spirit of conciliation, and
while in each instance each side seems
to be holding out strongly for its con
tention as to rates, there has not yet
appeared on the horizon anything which
portends such difficulty as would not
in time be surmounted. There are the
best of reasons for believing that several
of the main points of contention will be
compromised. This is especially to bo
believed of lumber, hides and wool, and
possibly sugar, though on the latter the
house conferees are standing particu
larly firm for their schedule.
On the subject of reciprocity the drift
of opinion seems to be In the direction
of the senate substitute, but with cer-
tain of the house provisions, that is the
list of articles which can be used as a
basis of reciprocity treaties, will be
broadened, but that the senate provision
requiring the ratification of the treaties
will be discarded. Several of the emi
nent lawyers In both branches of con-
gress question the constitutionality of
the power ?onferred on the president
by the senate reciprocity provision. The
stamp tax on bonds and stocks provided
for in one of the senate amendments
has not yet been affected. The revenue
furnishedi by it furnishes a strong argu
ment for Its acceptance, In view of the
heavy anticipatory Importations, and
LOS ANGELES, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 12, J897
there Is talk of widening Its scope so
as not only to include a tax on actual
transfers, but on all recorded sales. This
necessity for revenue also furnishes a
strong argument for the restoration of
the house rates on imported tobacco.
It Is Impossible to estimate yet when
a final agreement will be reached, and
though various dates are given as to the
length of time the bill will remain in
conference, ranging from Tuesday to a
week from tomorrow, one of the most in
fluential of the conferees said tonight
that all arrangements were pure guess
work. He said decisions on the matters
of great importance on the bill were so
interdependent that ultimate decision or
one mighe involve a complete agreement
one might involve a complete agreement
might come at any time after the rest
of the matters of secondary importance
were out of the way.
When the report Is completed it will
at once go to the house, where it Is not
likely that more than one day will be
allowed for debate. The anxiety to get
the bill on the statute books and the
great loss of revenue involved in each
24 hours' delay, it Is argued., justified the
Republican managers in declining to
give more than a single day for its dis
cussion.
Rouse the Fears of the Pueblo Indian
Agent
WASHINGTON, July 11.—The army
officer in charge of the Pueblo and'Xica
rilla Indian agency in New Mexico has
submitted' a very vigorous report on
the d.ances carried on by the tribe, and
has asked for instructions looking to
giving teachers on the reservation se
curity from insult from the Indians
in the future. He says he has Just fin
ished an inspection of the day schools
about the agency, and found'many teach
ers complaining that on account of the
dance in the Pueblo agency they were
either locked in the rooms and com
pelled to remain there until the festivi
ties were over, or were driven from the
village entirely and not allowed' to come
back until the expiration of a given
period of time.
"The whole question in all its dam
nable ramifications," the agent insists,
"will have to be settled, sooner or later.
The government cannot go on paying
millions of dollars annually for the civ
ilization of the Indians when these
plague spots exist, and they live on its
bounty."
THE SULTAN STUBBORN
IN REGARD TO THE FRONTIER
QUESTION
The Powers Will Insist, but None
Is Anxious to Begin Coercive
Measures
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11—Queen
Victoria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the telegram
received by them from the sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disasso
ciate himself from the views held by the
other powers.
Replies to the circular of the Turkish
government to the powers relative to
the frontier question have also been
received by the ambassadors. They all
decline to admit the Turkish preten
sions. The porte has sent another cir
cular to the powers, proposing that, In
view of the disturbed' conditions existing
in Crete, Turkey send reinforcements to
the island. To this the powers have
also replied, endeavoring to dlssuadethe
porte from such a course.
This later proposal on the part of the
Turkish government Is held to lndicate
that the sultan does not intend to yield
In regard to the frontier question.
LONDON, July 12—The Times' Ber
lin correspondent says the sultan's tele
gram to Emperor William, asking the
emperor to "consider the representa
tions made by the Turkish ambassador
at the German foreign office andi to sup
port them In the European concert."
Emperor William replied that he
would "examine these representationsin
a friendly spirit," but abstained from
giving any assurances of his aid.
The Daily Chronicle's Athens corre
spondent says: "I have Just seen, an
important communication from the for
eign minister of one of the powers de
claring that no power Is inclined to un
dertake coercive measures to bring about

THE STRIKE
OF MINERS
The Greatest Wage War
in History
GRAVEYARD QUIET PREVAILS
IN PLACE OF THE HUM OF
INDUSTRY
A Strong Effort Will Be Made to Call
Out the Few Men Who Are
Still at Work
Associated Press Special Wire.
PITTSBURG, Pa„ July 11.—Today
marks the beginning of the second' week
of the coal miners' strike and already
it gives promise of being one of the
greatest wage struggles in the history of
this country. Eight days ago the coal
operators in this district and the miners
themselves little dreamed that within
one short week such an era of general
suspension couldi be wrought as now
exists in the bituminous mining indus
try. Then the mouths of the many coal
tipples that dot the Monongahela,
Youg.hiogheny, Allegheny and Peter's
Creek valleys ,and the valley of Tom's
and Miller's runs were open and turning
out thousands on thousands of tons of
the best coal that enters into the com
petitive markets of the worldl Now all
is changed. The vast caverns are like
so many graveyards. On nearly every
railroad track leading to the mines
there stand empty cars apparently anx
ious to be loaded that their burdens
may be carried to the ports along the
lakes.
The success that has attended the
movement has greatly eldted the min
ers, and during the next few days every
effort will be made to bring out the men
In the few mines that are still working.
This will be a difficult task, but they ex
press confidence in their ability to make
the suspension complete before the week
is forty-eight hours old.
From the best information obtainable
the Pittsburg operators are in-no hurry
to have the difficulty adjusted, as many
of them had stocks on railroad! sidings
which they held, for an advance. Much
of this was disposed of Saturday at a
good profit. A prominent operator said
today that it would take another week
to determine the exact state of the mar
ket, and by that time a general cleaning
up will have taken place. All Inter
ested will be ready to begin business on
a new basis and probably at a much
higher price.
"This whole thing will result in a
compromise," said, another operator.
"These operators are ln> a position to
stand it for some time, and I believe the
miners are In about the same condition.
It looks as if both would brighten up :
and in that event the operators will be
able to get prices and the condition of
business and the condition of the miner
will be simultaneously improved,"
Just now the greatest obstacle in the
way of the success of the miner is the
activity of the diggers In the West Vir
ginia fields. They are working night and
day andi are getting ready to supply all
the coal that is needed. They are re
peating what they did three years ago
when a general suspension was declared.
At that time there was a number of
operators in the mountain states that
were on the verge of bankruptcy. The
general suspension was declared' and
there came a great demand for coal at
prices that Insured a big profit. The
operators rallied around them a large
number of men, whose friendship and
support they have encouraged ever
since. The operators profltedi by thous
ands and thousands of dollars. When
the season had finished and the strike
was declared a failure they balanced
their books and found things on' the
proper side of their ledgers. They real
ized that they owed much of their profit
to their miners, and rewarded! them for
it. On each succeeding pay day the
faithful miners were paid bonuses in the
shape of gold pieces, and naturally the
best of feeling prevailed between the
employer and: employes.
This is the condition of affairs which
the organizers who will go into the West
Virginia field this week will have to
encounter. It is argued by the roiners
that there are more men out in that
section than there were three years ago,
and they express the greatest confldenct
in bringing them out if they can get to
their ears. This failing, the railroad
organizations will be appealed' to. This
plan of campaign has been outlined by
the national officers, and the develop
ments of the week will be watched with
interest.
There are a number of operators in the
Pittsburg district who have expressed
a willingness to pay. the price demand
ed. But the miners have said nay. They
will insist upon a majority of the oper
ators of the district paying the 69-cent
rate. This is the ultimatum of the na
tional officers.
The new features in the situation to
day were the arrival of the Ohio and
Indiana state board of arbitration, the
meeting tonight of the Unite* Labor
League of Western Pennsylvania, ana
the report that a movement was on foot
to Import new men to take the places of
the strikers at the Pittsburg and Chica
go company's mine,
The strikers at the mines of the Pitts
burg and Chicago Gas Coal company
were greatly excited today over a re
port that Owen Crouse was in that re
gion and that an attempt wouid.'be made
to resume work with Imported men
Secretary Warner of the United Mine
Workers said that if this was donethere
would likely be trouble, and he feared
there would be a lynching.

fields received' here was that the Beach

SUFFERING CERTAIN
CHATTANOOGA, July 11.—A. special
to the Times from Jellico, Term., says
that there is great destitution among
the miners In that region, many of them
having large families and not knowing
where the next meal is coming from.
Some of the miners have gardens and
they have been able to make the truck
raised on these to do them for the abso
lute necessities. Thei relief committee
recently sent abroad' to get help has re
turned and reported that they hadi met
with poor success. Committees are to
be sent to the East Tennessee districts
in the hope that aid may be had while it
Is sorely needed. The miners and opera
tors have had' no meetings since May,
and there does not seem to be the slight
est prospect for an amicable adjustment
of the wage question.
The men at these mines have had
little work for nearly two years, and as
a consequence they have nothing laid
up for a rainy day.

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL—"London
in 1900!"
That Is to be the rallying cry of the
Christian Endeavorers for the next
three years. It is the ambition of Pres
ident Clark and his millions of follower*
to show the old world something of tha
strength of their organization. Nash
ville has already been chosen as tha
place of meeting in 1898, and 1 at the an
nual meeting of officers Tuesday morn
ing the selection of a convention city for
1899 will be discussed, but the question
may not be settled then, for the offers of
a number of places are to be considered.
Denver has put in a strong bid, and
both St. Louis and Cincinnati are anx
ious to have the young Christians visit
them. All that can be said now is that
the matter is unsettled, and all appli
cants have an equal chance of success.
Morning dawned with a cloudless sky,
the atmosphere not too cold and not In,
the least too warm for physical com
fort. Never before has the California
climate received so effective an adver
tisement, for as though ordered for con
vention week, the weather has been per
fect every day since the arrival of the -
delegates andi the thousands who cams
in their wake. The visitors are already
beginning to depart, but it will be more
than another week before the city will
resume itß normali appearance, for the
decorations will remain and many of
the strangers have announced their in
tention of spending several weeks in tha
vicinity.
All of those who attended the various
state rallies last night were enthusiasts
In their expressions of delight. After
the informal receptions they were liter
ally loaded with gifts of fruits and flow
ers.
SUNDIAT SERVICES
This has been a busy day for the mem
bers of the organization, many meetings
having been held, all, however, having
been devotional in character, business
affairs not interesting the Endeavorers
on the Sabbath.
The topic for the early morning'prayer
meetings was "Prayer for church ser
vices and pastors." At nearly every
church it was necessary to close the
doors before the beginning of the ser
vices, so great was the throng of earnest
worshipers. The principal meetings
were led'by the following clergymen:
First Baptist, church,, Rev. v A M. Daw
son, Cincinnati; First Congregational
church. Rev. W. A. Humphrey, Guthrie,
O. T.; Starr King A. M. E. Zlon church,
Rev. C. C. Pierce, Chelsea, Mass.; First
Presbyterian, George E. Copeland;
Worcester. Mass.; West Side Christian,
John R. Clements, Binghamton, N. V.;
Westminster Presbyterian, C. C._ Mc-
Neil. Burlington, Iowa; Third Congrega
tional', Albert A. Reed, Boulder, Col.;
Grace M. E., Rev. E. D. McLarin, Alex
andria, Ont., and at the First Congre
gational church in Oakland, Rev. Ralph
J. Eamb of Indian territory.
The daily hour for Bible study was
conducted by Prof. Herbert L. Wlllett
of Chicago, at the Central M, E. church,
his topic being "Habakkuk —A Message
of Endurance and Hope." He con
cisely summarized* the teachings of ths
book of the prophet and' aptly applied
them to the affairs of today.
'At the First United Presbyterian
church, Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce of Phila
delphia demonstrated in a practical way
the use of the blackboard In Christian
work. At the regular morning service*
of worship in the pulpits of all of the
Protestant evangelical' churches of the
city except the Emanuel Baptist, tha
scene of the Durrant murders, of which
Rev. J. George Gibson is pastor, were
filled by prominent preachers from all
parts of the world. Mr. Gibson is a
Christian Endeavorer. 4jut did. not. offer
his pulpit to the local societies. In sev
eral instances overflow meetings were
held in the extensive basement of the
First Congregational church, addressed
by Rev. W. H. Temple of Seattle, being
almost as large as the gathering In the
main auditorium at which the sermon
was preached by Rev. Nehemiah Boyn
ton of Detroit.
The great gathering of the day was tha
afternoon meeting in Mechanics' pavil*
ion, presided over by President Clark.
In the Interest of the Lord's Lay was
the general theme of a series of eloquent
adidressce which rank among the best
of the convention. Thousands who
sought to gain admittance to the audi
torium lingered regrettfully in ths
streets long after the "No more room"
sign was hung outside.
The usual song service, conducted by
Robert Husband of San Francisco, was
followed by devotional exercises led;
by the Rev. A. D. Kinzer of Lyons, lowa,
The first speaker, Miss Matilda May of
New York, hadi as her subject "Woman's
Part." She spoke particularly of the
Women's National Sabbath alliance,
which had its birth In New York city
two years ago, at which time eighteen
onsecrated women took the following
■ ledge, which outlines woman's part in
ecurlng Sabbath observance today:
"We, the women of America, recognlz
ing the American Christian Sabbath aa
our rightful inheritance, bequeathed to
us by our forefathers; as the foundation
of our national prosperity; as the safe
guard! of our social, civil and religious
blessings; as the conservator of ths
rights of the wage earners; do hereby;
