The Conferee* Have About Concluded
to Bring Their Work to
a Close.

and So Report*
Washington, Aug. 8;—The “tomor
row,” upoa which the tariff conferees
hare l>ecn (or some weeks pnnU-ug au
agreement, at last gives promise of ful
filment. When the tariff conferees
adjourned at a few minutes before t>
o'clock tonight, It was with the under
standing that at the session tomorrow
morning nil the details should be ar
ranged -tad the Republicans wore
called upon In the afternoon and in
formed of What their Democratic col
leagues had dome. One of the most
prominent managers on the part of the
senate made the emphatic statement
that tomorrow would see the end of .the
conference, and that oj. nightfall there
would be either an agreement or a gen
eral break-up of the conference. But
one thing, he said, could postpone the
result any longer. Should the house
conferees agree to an agreement and
the arrangement of the details con
sume such time as to run the work
over Into the next day, that would be
permitted, but otherwise the close of
tomorrow would witness the end of the
labors of the conferees on the tariff
hill.
So little is yet to be accomplished.
koweve.% that there Is e^ery likelihood
that the Republicans can be called In
ft an early hour and there would be no
siu-prlse if the senate should have the
report of the conferees at a reasonably
early hour in the afternoon. Thu bitch
font still lemaius for settlement is iron
* ri: and coal. So far as the principle
is concerned, these items seem to be
disposed of finally; one of .them is to
he free and the other made dutiable.
These matters were the subject of
three distinct changes today. At • 3
o'clock In the afternoon it was decided
that iron ore should be made free ab
solutely, and that coul should retain
me rate of 40 cents, a ion fixed by the
•>enate for a pi icxl of -five yeavsrr at
the end of which time..it was to be
free. Subsequently, a proposition was
made to fix a sliding scale that should
reduce the duty a specific percentage
each year. This wat antagonized, but
the house men. anxlou3 to get as much
In the way of concession as possible,
persisted and the result was that this
matter- was left until tomorrow morn
ing for final decision.
I At tli? conclusion of the conference
I all the members from both sides of the
capitol appeared to be In a very happy
frame of mind, and there appeared to
1 he very good reason for their state
ments that an agreement would soon
he made.
One of the managers on the part of
t!i“ H-nate said that if th»*iv was an
agreement the sugar schedule would
remain as it was published In these
d'-Kpatches Friday of last week, to-wit;
40 per cent on raw sugar and one-fiftli
of a cent differential on refined sugar.
This senator also said that he had never
of a proposition Clat gained some
credence two or three days ago, to the
effect that the basis of collection of the
duty on refined sugar was to be the duty
| collected on 106 pounds of raw sugar for
| every 100 pounds of refined sugar. As far
i ** sugar is concerned, it has cut no flg-
I ure in the conference, and is looked upon
by the conferees os settled. Lead ore, of
which there baa been a nsat deal *df
quiet talk. Is said to be In the same way.
An effort was made in some auarters to
have the nouse rate, which greatly re
duced the duties, restored; but this was
I not done.' As Indicated In these dtl-
j pitches come days ago, the senate rate
on tobacco will probably stand, and wh*s-
ky. which was disposed of by JJIe con-
| •****• some days ago, will be put back to
JJJ W o- gallon provided for in the house
| hill, with the proviso, however, that the
I bonded period may be extended from five
I ®lfht years, by the payment, after
I 'be end of five years, of an additional tax
I or 5 cent* per gallon per year. It is also
I understood that the senate provisions on
I wroolen% cotton goods and the metal
I •cbedule have been cut into but little
I vompared with the cuts upon which the
I bouse Insisted.
I arc indications that the reason
I tne conferees did not finally settle the
|b*al and iron ore tonight, was that the
I J* 1 **** members might have an oppor-
I (unity of consulting with their colleagues
I to see how the proposition submitted in
I conference was received. The latent
|P r °P d *jtipn is to pat iron onr on QM fit#
■ “** •nd reduce the duty on coal 5 cents
I f *. nnum tmtil It gradually reaches the
IH?) a Proposition that will not be
■ nearly so acceptable as the other, which
■ leaves U untouched for five years. A
■ careful canvass of the aenate showed the
■ aerne conferees that they could not touch
|2»J t without Imperilling the whole bill,
I■i.lz lron ore might be tampered with
|wKhout having that disastrous effect
■mlr.i-nt member of the o>.is»i
f was called upon by one of the <
l » this evening for advice as to how
' a °d his colleagues should act m this
“*ter, and was told that the day for
advice had passed. The conferee
at no«r, this senator said, bring In an:
1 of a report they pleased, ond th
l, ^w°uM vote upon It. Tomorrow *vll
“ te this report, and it does no
follow that the senate wll
The conferees will meet a

• room, n may be, however, tbit th*
JD conferees may have more trouhl
* they anticipate in removing the c»b
ions of tn^r house colleagues to cer-
.... things that transpired tn the cooi-
room today.
J* ampin ground for many con
** rumors that were flying about
cool and Iroc. At one stage
Drcceeding? the senate conferees
the bull by the boras end toW the
ronferees CTey could have either
,r iron ore free, and the house ac
cepted coal. Then began the canvass of
rhe conservatives to see wh*t would he
ihe result oT this compromise. It was
seen at once that such, a scheme doomed
the bill to failure and made such men
as Faulkiier, Pugff, Gorman and Camden
Indignant. The senate conferees went
back and told fheir associates that they
oould not grant the concession, and de
spair once more reigned In the cdmmltte;
room. Almost in despair, the house men
finally accepted free iron ore, as n salvo
for their Injuries, but subseqjencry in
sisted that they shojld have that which
was originally given them.
This was the condition of affairs when
the conference adjourned for the nl?7it.
That a report of some kind will be* forth
coming tomorrow Is <0(host a certainty.
What Its fate will be, the next few hojrs
will tell. What the policy of the Repub
licans -will be cannot now be toretolu.
This element of the senate, arfttve affl
alert to embrace every opportunity to de
feat the bill, has not been Idle. touring
the afternoon Bess'.on of the senate the
leaders were in conferenc. but they have
succeeded in keeping strictly secret ah
that.they did.
Tonight quite a gathering of the leaders
met at 8enat«w McMillan's residence nr
dinner, aud It is safe to assume that
the political side of the tariff fight was
dlsouss'ed between tne .courses. When
asked tonight what the policy of the
minority would be, Mr. Aldrich, the Re
publican leader, remarked that they had
no policy and would have none um.i
tljey knew what the Democrats In
tended to do. With a smile. Senator Al
drich observed that the Republicans would
be about the capitol tomorrow and keep
their eyes open.
On it being known that the bounty on
this year's sugar crop* Is not to bo given,
there Is much concern among Democrats
to know what course Messrs. Caffery
and Blanchard will assume to-wari the
bill. Mr. Caffery declines to talk, but
rests on the speech he made recently in
the senate, when he declared It would
be hfi? duty to consider the Interests ot
his. state before he did that of the party
at large. This is interpreted as being a
thro; ,t that he will not support the bill.
Both the Louisiana senators are receiving
large numbers of telegrams urging tnem
to vote agulnst the bill unless the bounty
is given, and the two leading Democratic
organs In New Orleans this morning an
nounced that the. two senators would,
under the circumstances, be Justified In
voting against the bill. Messrs. Kyle
and Allen are also botn quoted as saying
th.it they could not Indorse the bill Eu
less it provided for a bounty on sugar.
In view of the fact the four votes are
essential to the success or the bill, how
they will cast their ballots, will have
much to do with the future of tariff re
form In this country. -
Mr. Jones ' declared that the bill will
pais, but there are others who hesitate
to make any prophecy. Mr. Brice Is in
clined to think that the senate will not
accept the conference report if it mate
rially charges the senate bill, but says
the senate will amend the bill by moving
to recede, and after so perfecting It will
send it back to the house and let them
pass it.
Mr. Brice is of the opinion that if tne
bill comes into the hands of- the sonab
again, it wfll rcAise to grant another
conference; but that the bin will, after
being perfected, pass and become a law.
Others anticipate trouble ana expect some
delay in debate.
Mr. Jones and all his associates on the
conference held that a meeting to Indefi
nitely postpone or to lay the conferenc*
report on the table will not be In order,
nnd that this motion can’t oe made. Un
der, the senate ruics, a majority can make
any ruling it pleases, and if thero should
be a majority litr favor or postponing the
conference report, it wojiid bo an easy
matter to sustain an appeal from the
decision of the chairman. It Is this vote
that Is feared, and the apparent indif
ference of the conservatives to the report
that may be made only adds to the un
easiness of those in cnarge o? the bill.
If the bill should get into the senate to*
mofrow night or Friday morning. It Is
likely that whatever action tlio senate
takes would be speedy and certain.

Washington, Aug. 8.—Among tlte bills
introduced and referred to committees
was one by Mr. Alton (Democrat) of
Nebraska “to prevent professional lob
bylng.” It defined n lobbyist to be a
p.rson who hab'Auntiy attempts to ln-
ffireuco * 'the legislative notion of con
gross by soliciting members to support
or defeat a measure; and it declares
lobbying in the capitol or in tlhe Dis
trict of Columbia an offense against
the United States, fto be punished by a
fine of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $3,000, and by Imprisonment in
the common Jail of the District of Co
lunvbiu for not less than one nor more
'than five years. /
An amendment which was offered
last woek Ito the* sundry civil appro
priation bill, by Mr. Hunton of Vir
ginia, looking to an appointment of a
member of 2he Confederate Army of
Northern Virginia on the commission
to mark, the battlement of ^sHysburg,
was made the occasion of a short
speech toy Mr. Ransom, in which he
took the ground that the amendment
was a reflection upon Col. *V/llllam M
Roibbins of North Carolina,* who was
already on that commission. Mr. Hun
ton disclaimed any purpose of reflecting
on Col. Robbins, and declared that his
Object in offering the amendment was
to have two men employed where only
one had been before. The explanation
was declared by Mr. Ransom to be
perfectly satisfactory. The conference
report on the Indian appropriation hill
was presented and agreed to. Several
bills were taken from tbe calendar and
passed, among them tho house bill to
authorize the construction of a wagon
and footbridge across the Chattahoo
chee river near Columbia, Ala., and
the senate bill to further encourage the
holding of a world’s exposition at At

(Mr. George moved to take from the

tion -was resisted by Mr. Platt, wfio
suggested th*? absence of ;i quorum.
The roll was called and a quorum of
aenatbra responded; but on a yea and
nay vote on IMr. George’s motion no
quorum could be got, several of the
senators Who were present being

of large Democratic majorities In every
county In the statu. This open appeal
to the negro voto Is, and should he,
especially gratifying to you and tho
negroes generally since It forever re
futes tho statement tnado by our
friends, the enemy, that ’the negro Is
not wanted in tho Democratic party,’
ui*d nt the same time it cvIduMices that
tlie negro vote Is a factor ond is des

AN OLD MAN MURDERED.
Detroit, Mich., Aiig. 8.—C. A. Blood,
aged 75, a wealthy retired vessel owmer
and banker of Marino City, Mich., wm
found dead* In ls*d this morniug at the
home of his daughter-in-law, 1474 F.f-
teentb »tn , et, this city. The coroner
pronounced death due to apoplexy,
tint the undertaker found a bullet hole
in bis body. It is supposed he was
tnimlercd.
Montgomery, Ala., Aug.’8.—Kolb's
olalm that he has been defrauded out of
his olee’Uon, when considered in tho
light of undisputed fadts, is so abso
lutely baseless us to be ridiculous. His
majorities In .counties carried by him
umount In the y aggregate to 14,000,
Oates' majorities in the counties car
ried by him, leaving out Barbour^
Bullock, Dallas, Hale, Lowndes, Ma*
remgo, Madison, Montgomery and Wil
cox, the only counties which Kolb chal
lenges, amount In the aggregate to
12,000, lenvlng Kolb only 2,000 a'head.-'
The white vote in the nine apnntlea
left mil of the above calculation, ac-
coixlirtg to the census of 1890, amounts
In the aggregate to 16,000. It Is a well
known faot, too well known to bo
disputed, that not more than one-tenth
of those whfte voters were supportera
of. Kolb. It da equally as well known
that the number of negroes that huvo
for many years, ever since they were
given 'the suffrage, voted tthe Demo
cratic -ticket In those counties alt least
equals the whl'tos who are supporters
of Kolb. This shows conclusively that,
not taking Into consideration tho in
crease in tho white • >te sinco tho cen
sus of 1890, and s’ 1 -wing nothing for
the large numb" of negroes in thoso
counties who, nough Republicans, It
is well known us between Kolb *and
the Democrats they! would vote every,
lime with the latter, even had mi tho
Republican .negroes remained away,
front 'the polls, O.Uea* majority in those
nine conn ties could not have been, less
than lB.OOu. From this it Is shown that,
even admitting everything that Kolb
claims, it Is clear that Insteud of be-
lng elected, Kolb Is defeated (by not less
than 13,000,
But Kolb's claim Is absurd. Many
negroes openly voted the Domocraitlo
ticket. This was particularly tho oaso
in Kolb’s old county (Barbonr) and In
hn ol.l homo (Eufaula). It 1* natural
that they shauldhavedono so and It
would have been very strango If they;
did not. im the recent rlbta in Jefferson
county .the governor used the whole
power of the stale-to-protect the ne
gro against the murderous assaults of
those who were supporters of Kolb.,
This act ton of the governor was* uni
versally Indorsed by the Democratlo
press, und speakers of the opposition 1 '
as universally condemned tho gov
ernor for his a of I >n. If -th.- negrif*
under such tfp'cufiustancea had tint sup
ported the Dembcratlo party they
would have shown that they did not
possess even ordinary gratltudo. Gov
ernor Oaten wan open and avowed Inf
iris Indorsement of the action of Gov
ernor Jones, and naturally 'the negroes
vt'ted for hlm».
This man Kolb has ,always cried
fraud. He, according to his own admis
sion, has frequently been a party to
fraudulent practices in Elections. Ho
.’lxHurnes that the Democrats uso the
same me.i<nn to obtain bhelr majority;
that he admit having used himself.
The .tw\> counties not hoard from yes
terday reported today. One, Baldwin,
give a small majority for Oa/tes, in
the other, Covington, about offset It
with a majority for Kolb. This settles
th<» Democratic majority at 26,000. 1
The legislature will stand: Senate, 24!'
Democrat* and 9 opposition; house, 63
Dfrriocrafk and 38 opposition.
Kolb, the defeated candidate for gov-
ernvr, Was 'published 11 oard claiming
that ho was elected by 18,000 majority.

HOW KOLB CARRTOD LEE. .
Charges of Wholesale Fraud Preferred
by the OpelikU Democrats.
Opelika, Ala., 'Aug. 8.—This county
Is conceded to KV/Ib. Bent two here nt
Opelika was the deciding beat for tho
county, and U gave Kolb a majority;
of 1s2.
Indignation does not express the fecl-
Ings of the honored and respected citi
zens of this place. The new fltfyro
election law pmvhles that the probate
Judge, sheriff and clerk shell appoint;
managers, and they to appoint mark
ers, giving each corrieifinru equal rep
resentation. In thla county the Judge,
sheriff anti clerk are all Kolblte*. andf
they dM appoint a single Oaten man,
consequently they had any majority}
they wanted.
One of the oldest, wealthiest and
most respected gentlemen of thin place
remarked thru he had been voting tor
twenty odd earsy here end thin was
fh.* first election he ever BAw where
one of the candidate* did not have «
single frtend Inride the polln. Them
tare re nsariy 1,300 registered vo*«n for
thin beat, and several dayn ago 60<J
whites of these were counted sure for
Oaten, w«ch, with the negnwn they
would vote/they claimed would give
O.iics a majority of neveral hundred,
■jiou.d the ballot box be kept fairly.
Your (vrrenpontfent Is reliably In-'
formed that teuEotorant proceedings
will follow In a few days against thu
