WORK THIS WEEK
'IN CONGRESS
Tlie House Has No New Measures of
Sufficient Importance to Have
an Assignment,
EUT THE SENATE IS IN A DILEMMA
Th« Senators Are Determined to Stand
hy Their Tariff Bill or Hare No
Tariff Legislation at AH
Title Session*
Washington, July 22.—The point is
reached in the house when there is no
new measure of such importance as to
oommand. the assignment of a day for
its consideration. The committee on
rules will meet 'tomorrow to deckle
What committees shull be recognized
during the t^eek for presentation of
business decided upon by them. It has
finally been decided to the managers
of the house, that* the. Patterson bill
to amend the interstate commerce law
so us to permit railroad companies un
der regulations to be established by' the
Interstate commerce commssfcm to
pool their earnings, shall go over to the
next session for action. This decision
was reached after consultation with
friends of the measure, although there
was a great pressure brought to. briar
In favor of Immediate consideration.
It is believed by mfctny friends of the
bill >that its passage, together with the
recent demonstration of the ability,
and determination of the government
to protect and preserve the free and
untrummelled movement of commerce
between the states will create a foreign
demand for xullroadi securities thrt will
go far toward terminating the present
period of business depression.
IN THE SENATE.
All Interest In congress the coming
week centres about the senate, where
the take of the tariff bill may be de
cided by the vote to be taken on tho
conference report, which Is now before
that body for action. By Tuesday
night history of importance to tho
wnole country will probably be .made,
and eVents fraught witn grave results
to the 'Demoeraitic party will have
transpired. There wae'nothing in «he
saape of o> conference today, although
senators changed wlli’h respmteibmy
In connection with the tariff bill called
upon their colleagues and endeavored
to get some light upon the situation.
A prominent Democratic leader, chair
man of one of the most Important een-
U't« CiwA invitees, and who does not be-
luiig to tine to-called ^ora^ervaitivkU,
told a-reporter tonight that unless
something aJiogether unexpected hap
pens before the senate met tomorrow,
something to which no one looks for
ward, all hope of tariff legisia'tion. at
this session of congress would be
doomed to disappointment. This view
cornea from a senator, honest and earn-
nest in his efforts to secure a bill of
some sort, and was candidly expresaed
only after a ooneuXatlon he had this
evening 'With some of the members of
the senate finance comroUbte-o.
There will be no caucus t» discuss
the situation, and ft is known that thus
far tho dissatisfied dements of the
party, the men Who insisted thtlt the
compromise bill should be passed, have
kept clear of their colleagues and have
declined to talk the situation over.
They stand as firm as ever Where they
have always stood, and declare that
there is nothing to discuss—H must be
the senate bill or nothing. The mana
gers of the bill on the part of the sen
ate reatlxe this, and, as one of them
said tonight: "What can we do? There
Is nothing to compromise. 'We went.to
the extreme of compromise when the
bill was in committee, and ithere as
nothing further that two ca*.X y^ld
except in material matters. The house
asks us to do something 'that Is im
possible, and the president, who knew
beforehand what we bad to do, nas
turned wnd placed •Cbe responsibility
upon the Shoulders of the senate..
When the conference report comes
before the senate again tomorrow it
will be with four pending motions bear-
\ Ing upbn Its disposal. Of these the first
’ made were the two of Mr. Hill to In
struct the conferees to.recede from the
senate amendment placing coal and iron
on the dutiable list. Then came Mr.
Vilas’ motion that the senate recede
from the 1-3 of a cent differential duty
which It had placed on refined sugar;
and fourth Mr. Gray’s motion that the
senate insist upon its amendments and 1
agree to the request of the house for a
further conference. There is thought
to be no doubt that the occupant of tho
chair XoraonW. whoever he may he,
will rule Mr. Vilas’ motion out of or
der, as It contemplates an amendment
to a senate amendment, which is now In
conference and out of the power tf the
•enate to amend. At this time a mo
tion to recede from the sugar amend
ment In its entirety would be in order,
but it is at least doubtful if that would
prevail. If Mr. Vilas can secure a vofte
upon his motton it Is believed It will
prevail Messrs. Vilas and Palmer an
nounced In their remarks Friday that
they would support It, and so will
Messrs. Hill and Mills. Messrs. Coke
end Irby.v and possibly Berry, would
a so vote that way. and these votes,
with the Republicans, would give a ma-
fcr*y. if. aa Is expected to happen, the
tllas motion should be ruled out on a
Pwnt of order it U said by parlUrrjen-
tarlans that he can accomplish the same
result in another manner by moving
tint rhe senate instruct its conferee*
w recede from thnt part of the senate
amendment which provides for a differ
ential duty on refined sugar.
Mr. Hill’s motion to instruct the con
ferees to recede from the amendment
Putting coal and iron ore on the dutia
ble list la in order. Mr. Gray’s motion
» that the senate Insist upon
* u amendments is also in order end
would be gladly voted upon oy .he sen-
jt*- There is already another degree
appertaining* to this motion, but it can
"ftdly be brought forward until an-
ntntr disagreeing report has been made.
u 1 !! 0 on * of congrse* •‘insists- it
? upt taken as. a finality, but .t motion
I? Adhere" is looked upon as an ulti-
nutum.
«A* ter rll however. It Is none of these
jnotions that the managers of the bill
| jnoat fear. According to Democratic in?
wnatlon. before Mr. Vilas gets a
t0 W 1 bl * motion striking st
I " n ned sugar, or if he does make It, be
fore the motion can be voted upon, bne
of a higher parliamentary standing will
be made. It will be ft motion that the
conference report be indefinitely post
poned.
This mbtlon, the managers of the bill
were warned tonight, might be made
early in the day. and they have seme
reason to apprehend that it may secure
five Democratic votes. Of course the
Republicans would vote solidly for it.
A motibn of this kind was about to be
mode Friday, when Mr. Cockrell hur
riedly moved to adjourn over until Mon
day in the hope that a ce3satloa of the
debate for a day or two might Improve
the situation. Should the motion to in
definitely postpone the conference re
port prevail the tariff bill will be de
feated so far ns the senate Is concerned,
for a would be a refusal on the part of
the senate to agree to a further con
ference.
Messrs. Gorman. Mills and Brice are
expected to speak tomorrbw. Mr. Gor-
m;m will reply to some of the sinle-
ments made by the president in his let
ter. and it da said will make claim thnt
Cleveland knew before the puolic did
wh.it concessions the senate committee
had to make. Mr. Gorman will also. It
is said, quote from Secretary Carlisle’s
Interview about the time the Jones
amendments were prepared and use
this as going to show that the admlnta-
tlatlon knew of the difficulties in the
pathway of the senate and gave the
committee its supports to It* arduous
task.

the chiefs of tlfe departments here, whose

OaprJvi/ Count Botho Eulenberg, Gen.

boen able to snatch only short holidays,
await eagerly the day when the emperor

up since no left Kiel. Dr. Brosso, Prus
sian minister ot public worship, has got

at Carlsbad, where soon he will be joined
by mahy conspicuous men, among them
the chancellor, ismall Pasha and * reiherr
von litadowiU, German embassador to
Spain. Itudowltz will come first to Ber
lin to make bis report on the rupture
of Germany’s commercial relations irlth

received his leave of absence come time
ago, and hud arranged to start for Paris
yester<L*y. He hud a farewell interview
with uie chancellor on Friday, but in
the evening hla vucailon was unexpect
edly postponed. It is supposed that the
questions raised by Italy’H occupation of
Kassala Caused his change of plan.
There have been reports that Herbett
Is to be recalled, a« President Oasslmcr-
Perler wishes to have a new man in the
Berlin embassy. They have their origin
in' the fact that he has prepared to take
an unusually long vacation. His recall
is unlikely, an no other ambassador since
the war lias been so acceptable to tho
Berlin court anti the chancellor.
The semi-official newspapers speak very
cautiously of th'q. report that England
ami Italy-havti closed a treaty for joint
action In Africa, but all congratulate
Italy' upon the brilliant advance of her
troops and their victory* over, the Mali-
dlsts last week. The Kreus Zeitung,
which rtprejeul* the Prussian Tories, as
serts that.the seizure of tho Kassahl was
part of un Unglian scheme to make Italy
pull Knglund’s chestnutn out of the fire.
As Kuglutul wus unable to attack the
Mahdlst* from the north, gays tho editor,
she wus glad to employ Italians to do
the fighting on the south prior to au ad-
vauco of tho Egyptian army on Khar
toum.
After contrasting the policies of Eng
land and Franco us to tho local observ
ance of treaties, tho editor adds: “The
governments pretending to bo our friends
are proving that they feel infernully less
good will and spirit to conciliation than
we do. Germany would do well to take
advantage of French friendship matters,
not Involving tho triple AlUane Treaty.”
The I “or a Deutsch Algemlttk Zcitung,
Oaprlvt's mouthpiece, reproduces without
comment tfce English of the papers con
cerning the Anglo-Belglnn agreement, to
gether with German dispatches. Tho
Conservative papers, of course, declare
that it will not be enough for Germany
to back England down In this matter'
she ought also, to have followol up her
advantage, they say, by demanding ter
ritorial revision and compensation In
Africa. In diplomatic circles there are
reports that France wll soon,ask Tor n
conference of all European powers Hold
ing territory In Africa.
The Tugcblatt'o announcement that Ger
many, Ruosiu, France and England have
agreed upon a joint intervention in

In fact. Germany will limit her action

Prince Ferdinand of. Bulgaria Is still In
Karlsbad. Tho last Installment of his
Interviews an given to the editor of the
Kovoo Vremja and reproduced in Berlin
dailies shows him prostrate before the
esar. ”,'11 Bulgarians love Russia," he
told. me the czar le the sacred re
deemer of my country. If Russia recog
nizee me, I shall accept the gracious act
with bowed head.” Not content with the
nauseating exhibition, the Coburger has
reviled Incessantly hie old premier, btnm-
bbuloff, but for whose aid he would have
tumbled long ago from hla shaky pedestal.
He wus opposed to him longer aa pre-
mler. Said Ferdinand: ”Ho wan as capri
cious fin a woman, and puffed up with
overbearing pride.” These utterances
have estranged Ferdinand’s friends and
have disgusted his enemies. They are
criticised most In Rusnla, where the Hvet
voices the general opinion thus:
"It does not redound to the prince’s
honor of chancier that he now tries to
transfer odium from himself to Btambu-
loff, the man who placed him in power.”
The Bt. Petersburg journals agree thst
Ferdinand’* efforts for the recognition of
the crown can do hhn no good, as Russia
would be satisfied with nothing short of
absolute control of Bulgaria In every
thing pertaining to her foreign pollqy.
The Bt. Petersburg WUdocnoftl said on
Friday: 'The prince has always been a
man of straw. He hoe always been a
tool of the triple alliance, llis appeals
to the czar now are wortfileae.”

the Anarchists, but the*e Is no sign or
iTsprivlls departure from his pollcv of
legislative Don-Interference. BocUksts, an
Anairchiai XoifiTfifl, devoted an article In
Its last tssue to predictions of dire re
sults In its government should It venture
to revive repressive laws. It will be a
general surprise if the government re
frains from suppressing the newspaper
and prosecuting the editors. Few An
archists nave been expelled during the
week. Dispatches received from Prague
yesterday eay that a band of militant
Anarchists had been caught at work in
their own bomb factory. Seven men were
arrested and a large quantity ot explo
sives were seized. The Jew baiter, Ai-
wardt, who has passed most ot the past
three years between the courts and pris
ons. has turned on his enemies and begun
prosecuting them for libel. The editor
of Dresdener Nachrichten, his first vic
tim, has been summoned to answer his
charges in court.
MaJ. von Welsman, who was so long
at loggerheads with the colonial depart
ment, has settled hJs grievances after two
conferences with Director Knyaer, and
will become actlvo in the Imperial service
In Africa. Kaysor promised him com
paratively a free band, without tnterter-
enco from r6d tape officials. This ar
rangement will Involve Welaman’a speedy
return to Africa. Before departing he
will visit Blnmairck in Varscn. Germany’s
occupation of Krongo, south or the Ko-
viurvv river, Is full* and the government
hero denies Portugal right to protest,
the Sultan of Zanzibar having conceded
to derimny the territory between Ro-
vuma and Tangha Bay.

Washington, July 22.—The announce
ment # that Corea had consented to the

express the hope that this would end
the strained relations between Japan
und China. This depended, however. It
was said, on whether China give her
assent In the mutter anil allowed tho

China. It Is stated at the Japanese le

Is suggested that Japan, assisted by Co

No specific statement of tho reforms

Chicago, July 22.—President ®eba of
the A-merisan Railway Union, wlten
questioned In the Offloe of the county
JM1 yesterday afternoon about a Cin
cinnati dispatch reflecting on the dis
bursement of targe sums of money
without apparent reasons since tho or-
s-aliiaulon of tho American. Railway
Union, characterized it u.s "an lnfamoua
lie without th slightest foundation, and
another effort to turn public opllnon
against this movement In the cause ot
humanity and the amelioration of tho
workingmen. The statement that tiia
American R'nflway Union Saul hud
<110,000 In it* treasury at one time, ha
said, "wias absurd. There tad never
boen over <26,000 In, the treasury at one
time, and at -the present time there
was about <25000."
Mr Debs has received a letter con
taining a check for <1,000 drawn on the
Howard National Bank ot Baltimore.
The letter accompanying thei check
road as follows:
“My Dear Mr. D0b»: Inotosed find
check £or <1,000. I 'hopo It wytl assist
you In the good cause. Co In. and win.
Stick to It like a hero, a* you have done
right -through, and you wtll find lots of
friends. Good luck to your great and
glorious revolution Is the wish of youq
friend, H ' il
"Thomua SBakespeare Tucker.”-
The line of defense of Debs, Howard,
Ketlher and Rogers at tho hearing In
tlhe contempt proceedings, whlqh will
begin In Judgo Grosscup's court to
morrow morning ait lo o'clock, baa been
decided upon. Messrs. Erwin und Greg
ory, will open tlhclr *lde with a vigor
ous attack upon tho Injunction whichl
the defendant* uro charged with wil
fully disobeying. Charge* will also ba
made. It Is said, itluat the federal court
ha* boen deceived by corporation law
yers employed by the Michigan Cen
tral. It Is claimed thuJt tho attorney,
for the company mentioned drew tho
Injunction -granied by Judges Gross-
cup and 'Wood, und that Mr. Mllchrlst
adopted 1-t as a 'bill for the federal gov
ernment.
A discussion arose at headquarters
yesterday a* to 'the uuUiorlshlp of the
famous dispatch escribed to Debs, send
to Butte, und ending: “&ivo youn
money nnd buy a gun.” One of tho oin-
uora of the union «ald ana t i\ir. Debs
had never seen the despatch nor writ
ten ono word In it. Stenographer Ben
edict, who amende to tho private busi
ness of Debs, nnd who has friends nt
Hull", wrote the m.'SfMK''. Being u,
Western man, ho concluded that It wna
a Hlamg phiuse known to every man,
woman and child In Sliver Bow county,
which Was to' '«avo money nnd got a
a gun, Or In middle stuito parlance,
"say nothing and now wood."
THE CHECK IS BOGUS. I
Baltimore. July 22.-TJioma» Shakes
peare Tucker is not known In Bul'tl-
moro. There Is no fbundaitlon for the
story looming him to 'the Equltiahlu
building, and no traces of him In cha
city can be found. He hus no account
nt the Howard Nateaial Bank. If tho
check received by 'President Debs In
Chicago Is drawn on that bank, us has
been stated, it Is fraudulent.
THE STRIKE IS NOT OFF.
Sacramento, Cal,, July 22.—Tho ac
tion of tho local lodge of tho American
Railway Union In this city lust night,
declaring .the Southern Pacific strike
off, was brought about by u committee
of citizens, who showed tho strikers

suaded the men -to try to get back!
while there was yet a chance. A fewi
days ago Superintendent Fillmore
promised a committee of strikers that
If the strike wus declared off uncondi
tionally all ntrikers except those who
htel taken an uctlve part <h tho de
struction of the oompany'a property:
and committed other overt acts, would
lie taken buck Into the employ of the
company. General MLneiger TavVnar
reaffirmed rills deoil rut Ion last night
In a letter to a committee ot the Sacra
mento strikers.
KsMsr. chairman of the mediation
committee of tho Railway Union at
Dunsmulr, who Is ut present In this
city, says the strike I* not oft omJ that
the loeal lodge of the American Rail
way Unton In this city bod no author
ity to declare It off. He sayo the strike

thirds vets ot the entire (Southern Pa
