DULUTH, Aug. 8 -Mare then 1,00
men are now working at the minaes
he Metropolitan Land and Iron
umpany, where the six weeks'
rtie ended last week. As
Sresult the shipments of are from the
l.ogebl range ayve grown largely, and
will be enormos for several weeks.
hipments frnom the Gosebi have been
ap to date 775,000 tons and about 400,
)00 tons more is contracted for vessel
oom for the remainder of the season.
Bhipments from the other Lake Super.
Lao ports have been large, and the esti
mated total out of this lake for the sea.
on to August is 8,100,000 tons, or a
trifle over half the shipments for the
entire season of 1808.
Speculation is already lively as to the
Meeaba's share of the output of next
season, and it is
Pat st a Vet aigh igse.
This year, the second in which the
range made shipments, it will exceedby
300,000 tons at least, any of the older
ranges of the United States, with an
output of not far from 1,700,000 tons,
and for the season of 1896 mining men
expect the range will ship all its two
railroads will be able to handle. The
Bookefeller road is gradually but stead
ily double tracking its line and will
have two tracks from its ore Junc
tion to the Duluth dooks by
in the spring of 1806. The Duluth and
Iron Range road has surveys and esti.
mates on a new line to the Mesaba and
expects to build it during the coming
winter. With the new mines being
opened and made ready for business
and with the contracts now unfulfilled
that will be carried out next season, the
Mesaba should send out not far from
8,000,000 tons. The Rockefeller con
tract, made last fall with the Merritt
Brothers of this eity, will not be within
500,000 tons of completion this year,
and will all have to be gotten out under
it next year.

Bali Grounds at Philadelphia and
Chicago Seenes of Disastrous
Conflagrations.
IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT
At Chicago and a Panic Ensued in
Which Spectators Were More
or [eas Injured.
PanmLADULPIA, Aug. 8.-The Phila
delphia base ball park, one of the finest
of its kind in the country, is a smoking
t wreck of crumbling walls, charred tim
bers and twisted iron. The large sta
bles of the Omnibus Company General
adjoining to the west are now burning,
and the car stables of the Thirteenth
and Fifteenth streets division of the
Philadelphia Traction company and ad
joining property are badly damaged.
The conflagration started between the
partitions in the ladies toilet room at
the west end of the main pavilion of the
ball park. The Philadelphia and Balti
more teams had been scheduled
to play two games at the park in the
afternoon, and the players were either
practising in the field or in their dress
ing rooms. One of the bystanders
d noticed a narrow tongue of flame shoot
Sin up between the boards of the parti
tion at the west end of the stand. The
players on the field did not think the
fir serious and several of the bystand
ers started to put it out. In an instant
the entire structure was a roaring fur
nace.
1- tables Also Baurned.
The stables of the Omnibus Company
General, which operates a line of omni
r, busses on Broad street, was opposite the
r main pavilion on Fifteenth street at the
corner of Huntington. The omnibusses
and horses were all saved, but the upper
i. floor contained a large quantity of hay
dl and straw, which at this hour is still
a. burning fiercely and threatens to wreck
;a theentire structure. -
er While the firemen were making a
e strenuous effort to save the adjoining
s. property the long lines of bleaching
n boards opposite right and left field in
in the ball park had fallen prey to the
as flames and the seats and pavilions were
ad burned. The loss is estimated at
u. $100,000.
CAUSED A OIKEAT PANIC.
Many Ipectatorn Injured In the Rush at the
Chicago a1ll1 (rounds Fire.
CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-The discovery of t
fire in the West Bide ball park created a
quite a panic, in which several of the r
spectators met with serious injury and
a large number of others were slightly
out and bruised in endeavoring to make
their exit. Those most seriously in
jured are: E. W. Bartlett, leg frac- e
tured; Ed Ahern, fire insurance patrol l
No. 4, severely burned about the hands c
and face.
The Chicago and Cincinnati baseball
clubs were battling with each other and
a crowd of not less than 10,000 crowded
into the grounds at Polk and Lincoln
streets to witness the game.
Every Available Seat
in the grand stand and bleachers was
occupied, and a large crowd of men and
boys contented themselves at not find
ing seats by taking up their positions on
the ball field. The game had advanced
to the seventh inning, when suddenly a
cry of fire was heard from the bleachers
and a thin veil of smoke was seen creep
ing through the seats from below. The
cry of fire was taken up on all sides, and
in a very short time a terrible panic en
sued. The fonu exits leading from the
grounds were jammed with anxious
men and boys and also a sprinkling of
women. The exits were not large
enough to permit the throng to go
through and hundreds of men
Sought Places of Safety
by jumping over the barbed wire fence
and into the ball ground. The first
reaching the fence scaled it success
fully, but those who followed, in their
anxiety to get to safe quarters, tried to
crawl through, and in nearly every in
stance became wedged between the
wires, their clothing torn in shreds and
hands and legs lacerated by the sharp
barbs. Edward Ahern, a fireman con
nected with the insurance patrol No. 4,
endeavored to reach the ball ground by
going through that portion of the stand
which was in tamles. He was badly
burned about the head and hands. Dur
ing the stampede E. W. Bartlett be
came
WVedgpd in the Barbed Wire Feesr,
severely cut his arms and legs, and sev
eral others who followed fell on top of
him, smothering him into unconscious
neoss. He was rescued from his perilous
I situation by police officers. The close
proximity of the county and Presby
I terian: hospitals stood the injured in
Sitoud stead. For an hour after the first
alarm the physicians of both hospitals
were kept busy attending to the injured.

WAsan'orox, Aug. 8.-A review of
the legislation which has been sooom- I
plished by the seond session of the
Tifty-third congress up to and includ
ing A ug. 8, shows that much has been
done aside from the engrossing tariff
struggle which has largely diverted
publio attention from matters which
would, under other circumstances, have
been considered of great importance.
One of the most important acts of
the session which passed both houses
by a strictly party vote, being in ful
fillment of a plank of the Democratic
platform, was the act repealing all laws
creating federal supervisors of elections
or defining their powers.
Utah Admitted.
The act to enable the people of Utah
to form a constitution and state govern
ment and to he admitted into the Union,
provides the machinery by which tho
territory will be admitted probably in
December, 155), by adopting a constitu
tion providing a republican form of
government and insuring against the
supremacy of any church. An act mak
ing the first Monday in September a le
gal holiday, to be calted Labor day, was
passed. Three bills were Iltsstal to give
effect to the award ,f tlhe. tribunal of

Stockyards Men Goo lack.
CHlcAoo, Aug. 8.-The striking em
ployes of the stockyards company have
decided to return to work. When the
motion was put it was almost unani
mous to return to work and to report
individually at an early hour. It was
also decided to assess those who go back
for the benefit of those who cannot get
back until the latter can secure employ
ment.
Corn Went Booming.
CHIcAoo: Aug. 8.-Corn went boom
ing again and touched the highest
figure recordod here during the present
cri scare. As heretofore, the present
dry weather was the strong feature. To
this was added an expectation that the
state reports would prove very bullish.
Country commission houses were free
buyers and local shorts were covering.
The consequence was that September
corn, which closed at 49% on Saturday,
opened ragged at 50 j%510,, sold up to
lpl%, off to 51 and back to 51t'o.

MILLS' TAiIFF IDEAS.
They Are Embodied in a Resolution r
Introduced By the Senator
From Texas.
TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY d
Is the Main Idea, Coupled With a Free i
Haw Material Clause--Tariff
Conference. ,
WAsmHIOTON, Aug. 8.-In the senate I
a resolution was introduced by Mr.
Mills and ordered to lie on the table
temporarily, declaring that in the re
vision of the existing system of national
taxation, the followingprinciples should
be observed:
First-That all taxes are burdens on
the taxpayers and can only be right
fully imposed to raise revenue to sup
port the government.
Second-That when taxes are imposed
upon importedegoods, the rate should
be so low as not materially to restrict
importations, and
Third-That in selecting articles to
be taxed, only those ready for consump
tion should be chosen, and those tim
ported for manfacture or remanufacture
s·hould be exempt.
THE TARIFF CONERENCl.
Very Slow 'rogrems on the Three Nrheldule
in Ilispte.
WAe.HINOTON, Aug. 8.-The Demo
cr.tic tariff conforees were in session
t again at 11 o'clock and resumed
rthe w' rk of trying to reach an agree
ment m the points of difference. When
y some of the members of the committee
.t came )mt of the conference at 12 o'clock
a they stated that no perceptible progress
e had been made, and to all appearances
e the situation was the same as it had
y been for the past week..
Carlisle Makes uggel.tionls.
Secretary Carlisle l,:ial recently been
t called into freqluent consultation by in
dividual members of the conference.
He can called on Saturnlay night by a
sub-conmmittere of the conference. He
Iade certain suggestion. concerning the
administrative featur':s of some of the
propostlc omprolllse features, and it is
understood that sinlce the suggestions
t ~'re received the conference has been
tconsidering their I.aring upon the ques
i tions at issue. The coal and iron ore
questions have is. n taken up with a
view to reaching an unm.erstandingpufn
a them, but
Progresn Illw a.een Slow.
It is ulldrstosl that the senate con
fereiýs haI; indicjuted a willingness to
make it .. o --on in the way of time
that tihel duiy ha:ll continue but not to
lessen the aou llnt of duty provided in
either ctse. Tl'hi, house members have
not utiat.tei it a disposition to accept
this conce;'lion, tund it is understood to
be holding out for the terms of the
house bill on tlhse items.
The Louisiana senators are demand*
ing the continuation of at least a part
of the sugar bounty for the present
year, but the prospect of the success of
this demand .oes not appear to be
bright, and there is an increase of the
talk of passing it free shgar bill in case
of the failure of the tariff bill which is
probably intended largely to bring the
Louisiana senators into line.
Two Distinct Views.
When the tariff conference took a re
cess for lunch two distinct views were
presented. The house conferees and
the men with whom they conversed
seemed to think that an agreement was
in sight. The senate conferees and
those senators with whom they advise
and consult seemed to think that the
prospects were not so bright and that an
ultimate disagreement would be re
ported.
It was also stated that an end must be
reached within the next two days and
either an agreement or a report of a
disagreement made. Coal and iron ore
were the articles in dispute, the contest
having been transferred from sugar,
which has so long engaged the attention
of the conferees. The contest over
these articles is very stubbornly made
on both sides.
TO LET IN LIGHT.
A Bill to sMake All Sessions of Congess
and Its Commilttees kAublle.
WAsmutuoTON, Aug. 8.-Representa
tive Richards of Ohio has introduced in
the house a bill involving an important
change in the manner of conducting
the work of congressional committees.
This bill will provide that every session
of a legislative body of the national con
gress shall be open to the pubilic. If it
passes, it will effectually do away with
star chamber proceedings in all congres
sional matters. The bill states that all
colunlittoes and subcommittees consid
ering proposed legislation referred to
them shall admit the public on all oca
sions when such matters are considered.
And it shall be unlawful for either of
the bodies herein designated to hold any
meeting for the transaction of business
in secret. This provision Includes the
executive session of the senate and of
the conference committee. In speaking
of the bill Mr. Richards said that Its
purpose is to allow the people the most
ample opportunity to be informed of
their representatives in Washington

WILL REMAIN NEITRAL
United States Not Taking Any Part In
the (hina-Jajan Contro.
versy.
WILL USE FRIENDLY OFFICES
But Wili Not Enter Into Any Treaty
to Forcibly Keep Chinese
Ports Open.
WAsmeoron, Aug. 6.-A strong de
nlal is entered at the state department
of the published story that the United
States has or will enter into a treaty
with European powers to forcibly oc
cupy and keep open the treaty ports in
China. It is also denied that any over
tarea to that end have come to us from
other countries. When the oonditions
were snoh that war was only threatened
the United States did use its good omees
to avert the evil. It did so to ary out
a solemn obligation imposed upon us by
the treaty with Corea, whereby we
bound ourselves to protect C'-ea in the
following terms:
"If other powers deal unjustly ar op
pressively with either government the
other will exert their good ofice on be
F ing informed of the case, to bring abset
an amicable arrangement; thus showing
their friendly feelings."
This obligation was entered into in
1882, and it was under its terms that
the president indicated to Japan that he
would be pained should she inflict sa
unjust war upon Corea. That was as
far as the United States could go in the
interest of our good offices, and, besides,
the shifting of the war from Cores to
China relieved us of the necessity of
further action.
