Gravity or tha Situation.
■Woehlnston, Aug. 12.-Thls has been
anything but a day of rest for the tar-
iff lenders. They have been on the go
from early morning until late tonight.
They had a dhy of conterence at the
White House, private residences und at
the hotels. Secretary Carlisle was with
president Cleveland throughout the af
ternoon. The senate and house con
ferees made no effort to get together
tad they remain as wide apart as when I
the meeting broke up on Friday night.
The house conferees were tn consulta
tion Informally most of the day. al
though at no time were they ell to
gether at once. Chairman Wilaon opent
the day with Representative Breckin
ridge of Arkansas at the Normandie
hotel, and was there,'called upon by
ether conferees. Mr. Wilson did not
■ee the preside®* today.
The meeting of the house men
brought about a thorough understand
ing among them os t'o the line of ac
tion at the caucus tomorrow und in the
subseeuent proceedings or the senate
sad house. They considered the situa
tion horn every standpoint and pre
pared themselves for all emeagencies. A»
one of them said tonight. It was -like
going over the Held of battle and' learn
ing the topography of'the ground bn
the night before the great light. At
the outset the house conferees satisfied
themselves of the parliamentary situa
tion of the bill. Tills was done with
great care as to securing an accurate
and authoritative decision. Speiker
Crisp liad been asked to examine with
care the precedents hearing on the
case, and It was In turn understood that
he had consulted with Secretary Carl
isle who. ns an ex-speaker of the house
of representatives, is regarded as one
W the best authorities on parliamentary
procedure. Front the examination
which has been had the conferees nfe
tu.irlied that the house of representa
tives had the right to p.iS3 the senate
bill now or at any other time. The de
cision goes much further than has here
tofore been understood. It was decided
.tha the house, having the actual phy-
I deal possession'Of the tariff hill, could
' pass It with the senate amendments be
fore the Hill resolution passed tomor
row or after the Hill resolution was de
feated. Tht* Is. so confident were the
henne conferees of their right to pass
the bill at any time that they regarded
their rights os entirely unaffected by
[anything the senate could do with- the
[Hill resolution 'or any other resolution.
Ilhey recognized that there were some
I precedents against this position, but
I they regarded the overwhelming fores
I of authority with them, and they, there-
Ifore, accepted It as settled that the
Ihuuie had supreme sutbbrity over the
| bill without reference to what the sen-
I ate might do tomorrow or thereafter.
This conclusion -was full of lmphrt-
enae tn the hearing of the Action of the
caucus tomorrow. It assurod them In
the first place, that there was no need
of precipitate action toward accepting
the somite bill before Mr. Hill's resclii-
lion had passed. This resolution could
h> taken up In the senate nt 12 o’clock,
end It had been feared at the first that
the house would be compelled to take
[ histy action in accepting the senate
bill In order to prevent the huuse from
l*In* its opportunity to pans llie ten-
Jte bill with the additional Hill resolu
tion. M was agreed, bosrortr, that' no
such haste was necessary. On the con
trary. it was felt that the house. In
having possession of the hill and a pir-
liamentacy right to pass It at any time,
had everything to gain and nothing to
lose by deliberate action. Under these
circumstances It was deemed advisable
| to Inform the house fully as to the sit
uation and to explain that precipitation
I in accepting the senate bill would gain
! bathing, while deliberate action in walt-
“J* •• **e wba't the senate would do
might accomplish much good. It was
Pa.nted out In this connection that the
“?“• peed be In no fear bf the Hill
^solution being rushed through. Mr.
vviUc-a and dlls associates have some
strong frionds in the senate, notably
Senators Vilas. Gray. Lindsay and oth-
W0U,J . If the occasion required,

tilll resolution, which might last from
my to day.
the house conferees regarded as
—them a breatWng speel and ns
It plain thut the house need not

mete views, the house conferee*, did not
ciueve it was necessary or-prudent for
“ ucu * tomorrow to adjourn until It

ii,. . Tile f realize that the rituit-
\~‘ a ■**> critical that the question of

however, that a dispassionate statement

fr,*" 00 ** conferee* think there Is at

“bid be resumed, with every
teat a speedy agreement and
could be received. If. however.
I -?“* other han-l it was passed, then
Lrr.wcowHl caucus would accept the
bill or take su.h action as It de-
In any event, the house eon-
terets felt there would be nothing lust
by waiting for the senate to show what
it Intends to do. As yet, 'they say .the
Hill resolution and similar moves in the
senate are merely menaces, and it is
well enough to wait to see if they be
come accomplished facts. Meanwhile
the senate is quiescent and disposed to
remain in a state of Inactivity until the
house shall have had an opportunity to
express Itself upon tha situation.
There is undoubtedly a desire on the
part bf a large majority of the Demo
cratic senators to have the house take
poesescAon of the' Mil. This is due to
the general belief In the senate that
the house will accept the senate amend
ments and that the senate bill will be-
e .me law. uni they f, ,.r that if the hill
ire.iin go to the senate It would be In
definitely postponed, while on the other
hand it is believed that If the house
should agree tqthe senate amendments
the senate would acquiesce In this ac
tion anti waive the technical objection*
which might be raised over the posses
sion of the bill. It Is understood that
even Senator Hill, notwithstanding his
opposition to the bill, would be dis
posed to accept the favorable action of
the house as final and to permit the
bill to go to the president without rais
ing any parliamentary questions. The
Hill resolution has hud Its day In court
and has gone to the calender and could
not be taken up except upon a vote ct
the senate. It Is also suggested, with
out the actual possession of the bill,
that a motion for indefinite postpone
ment would be out of order and that
the.only process by which the senate
could secure possession would be
through a motion to reconsider Us no
thin granting n conference and then to
aek the house to return the bill. There
would be two difficulties in the way of
the execution of this plan. Reconsid
eration. tn view of the lapse of time
Knee the granting ot the conference,
e>uid not be had except by unanimous
consent, and even this secured and the
request made upon the house, the re
turn >,f the bill would depend upon the
courtesy of that body. It would, there
fore. seem that the senate can do noth
ing with reference to the tariff at the
present stage.
THE BILL IN CONGRESS.
An Indication of How the Tariff Im
broglio Will Be Settled.
Washington, August 11!.—'The week
just ended left the tariff bill liauglug
In udda.r. \\ luit the condition win ne
by the time the week is ended the most
sanguine politicians will not predict.
There is a strong hope, however, that
the time for action has arrived and
than the long and exceedingly tiresome
struggle is ubout to cease. The situa
tion nils become clear to u certain ex
tent, for It is no lunger a question of
choice betwen tue senate bill and the
WUsuu bill, hut between the senate
111! and the McKinley law. The action
of the senate on Saturday In going Into
executive session to ehnt off the tar.Of
was :H.'c;.iiiipiishi'd only by a lie vote,
und Unit was reached by thcvoles of
the two Leuis.uua senators, who', the
day before, voted oil a sirndar question
la the opposite direction.
Mr. Stewart,'on the Republican Bide
of the chamber, despite Hie entreaties
of ills colleagues, refused to remain,
and us the clerk begun the roll cull lert
,the chamber withoni a pair being pro
vided.
At the conference of the conserva
tives and the steering committee of the
Democrats on Csnturdsy, the opinion
was general tnnt the Hill resolution
will) pass by a good, majority If a .vote
Is taken, anil it was believed then that
a vote would he reached tomorrow aft
ernoon. A member of tho conference on
the part of the senale said that If tho
senate passed that resolution the eon-
senate passed that resolution the cuu-
feree* would certainly tiring in u disa
greeing report nnd tho senate would
hold that it had to bo heroic n, kudjch
to its action. What that action will he
there Is no certainty, as the Democrats
and Republicans alike now admit that
If the bill gets before tne senate again
It will bo defeated.
Democrats who want to see some sort
of tariff hill passed by this congress
lnuk to tho house for their political sal
vation, and tho situation now appear*
to be race for time. The house, in
caucus, will he urged to take up die
senate bill and accept It as It enmo to
that body, and thus end the struggle,
some of the Democratic authorities on
parliamentary law conlendaig that this
can he done, although tho bill Is now
In conference; that ut least Its show
of legality would bo ns good ns that
contemplated by tho senator* demand
ing a disagreeing report on the bill so
that they may kill It Tho action ot
the house caucus Is therefore fraught
with much Importance to the future of
the tariff bill. No business of any kind
can he done In the senato until this
tangle Is unraveled, fbr there appeals
to be eiiuugh votes to keep the matter
before the senate a number of hours
each day. It Is sa.d that by Monday
it will lie proved to the Louisiana sen
ators that they iMua.it p-t the bounty
which. It la asserted, the house con
ferees have promised them, and thut
us .soon a* they know this they will
ngnln'vote ns they did on all motions
intended to nofeat the bill. Tho debate
lu the senate on Mr. Hill's resolution
will begin promptly after Homo routine
morning Imsiness on Monduy.aml when
It will end cannot be foretold. Lead
ing Democrats who arc leagued with
the administration in this issue say
that then- will not be any effort at fili
bustering against it. The only Item of
business arranged for the house this
week Is not, strictly speaking, house
business nt all, liut of general import-
anec and value, because of its possible
effect upon the business outlie bouse.
That Is the caucus of Democratic mem
bers called for 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning i ' d'-li-i'inluo up si .i pulley to
lie pursued with respect to the tariff
bill. Upon the Issue of that caucus
probably will largely depend the gubae-
ipi.nl prix-ccdiug-. ef lie- li.uise. If it
should be determined that the business
Is to be continued. It will undoubtedly
be proceeded with along the lines that
have been followed during the past few
v.-oeks. A few committees remain on
the list of applicants who have nut been
a warned a day fur the consideration of
business reported from them, and the
committee on rules feel Inclined, If the
opportunity and time remain, to grant
them the same privileges that other
committees have enjoyed. Friends of
the proposed new public biiililings in
New York and Chicago are pressing a
•lay In which these projects may he
oowldAtd and a vote reached on the
question of authorizing their construc
tion. Under the rules, the committee
on the District of Columbia may ask
for tomorrow’s session to consider Us

Story of a Young tfcuvtn** Stopping
Train by Fulling the Alarm
Brake—A Notable Wedding
.< Announced*
Shanghai, August 15.—The Japanese
squadron that attacked Swei-Hal-Wel
Friday consisted ot twenty-six vessels.
It la not definitely known how many
of the lleet were men-of-war. The
warships drew up 4h the line of baittlo
off the port and opened fire «?arly Fri
day morning. There were no Chinese
warships In the vicinity and the en*
gagements were entirely between Japa
nese men-of-war and the forts. The
whereabouts of the Chinese fleet was
unknown. The Fritz, however, were
able without njuoh delay to repuse the
attack. About fifty tffiota f were ex
changed, ‘ but no material damage was
done on either side. The soldiers man
ning the guns of the fortifications
shewed themselves to be lamen
tably* deficient in markmanshlp.
Most all of -their shots were
lll-dlreoted, tho Bhells either fall
ing short of the vessel’s aimed nt
or going .wide of their marks. When
the fleet withdrew it proceeded to Port
Arthur, which place It attacked Friday
evening. Little if any damage was
done at this place. The operations oro^
regarded as having been- no attempts*
to capture either Wel-HaUWel or Port
Arthur, but simply a ruse on tho part
of the Japanese commander to ascer
tain the exact position and strength of
tho Chinese guns at the tWo places.
On Thursday loot two small Chinese
gunboats were sighted going at full
speed in tho direction of Tlen-Tsin.
. LI-HUNG-OHANG DEGRADED.
London, Aug. 12.—The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Central News has
been enabled to obtain from an ofllclal
Chinese source a full confirmation of
the report that ILi-lIung-Chang had
been degraded and reproved by the om-
porer for dllftloriness in prosecuting the
war. The ourreti/indent soys: "The
emperor expressed hla displeasure at
the backJWtwd condition of the troops,
censured Ll-ILunig-Ohang for remlssncss
and then, by a secret decree, deprived
him of the yellow coat and the peacock
feather and reduced him tn rank three
degrees. Nevettoielew Li-Hung-Ohftng
(remains in office, und. Inasmuch us he
him been given entire charge of the na
val and military force*, enjoys all tho
privileges of a viceroy."
The correspondent says the incident
is entirely .Incomprehensible to any-
bpdy conversant with Chlnrac customs.
In ithe British naval circles the Japa
nese attacks upon W«44Hai-Wel and
Port Airtiiur are regarded os daring to
awilmess, and the pluck bf the Japanese
is proised unstlntinly. The attacks are
compared to a stfpfcdsed attack by tho
British upon Toulom Wei-Hai-Wei and
Port Arthur have exceedingly strong
defense. Moreover, according to the
testimony of Capt. Lang and otheuB
conversant with the foots, the Chinese
are expert torpedolstn and gunners. It
Is assumed tiiaf the Japan we rttack to
part of a scheme 4o keep the Chinese
fleet In the Gulf of Pe-IIi-Li while Ja
pan pours troops Into Corea.
IT WAS A SMALL AFFAIR.
London. Aug. 13.—A dlnpatch to the
Times from Shanghai says that the
Chinese ofllclal report of the engage
ment at Wei-Hai-Wel sLifes that only
twewty-flve shots were exchanged be
tween <the Japanese wan-hips and the
forts. The report adds that one of the
Japanese ships w'ns hit three times nnd
another once. Tbe fire of the warships
did no damage to the forte.

A NEW POLITICAL ORDER.
The Principles and Alms of the United
Sons of America.
Los Angeles, OeL, Aug. 12.—A new se
cret political order has been formed here
with the name of the United Sons of
America. lu emblem is the stars and
stripes, with the letters "U. S. A," and
It is a secret order. Its constitution pro
vides for dty, county, congressional and
national organisation. It will Indorse such
candidates of all parties as are In full
accord with IU principles, and where
these are lacking It will nominate candi
dates of its own.
The principles of the order demand the
enactment and enforcement of laws for
the equal protection of labor and capital
and for the arbitration ot alt difference
between employer and employes, declar
ing against tha ‘mportatlon of cheap for-
e!gn labor und against national oankt
of Issue, nnd call for the absolute control
by the gjvornmsnt of all railroad and
telegraph lines.
Berlin, August 12.—The. struggle be
tween the Socialist boycotters ami the
ring brewers does not grow less! Al
though both parties liavo suffered
enough to welcome tho end, neither one
thinks, of yielding n point. Tho Vor-
waerts,' which leads tho fight for tlio
Socialists with dally columns of praise
of friends and denunciation of enemies,
says that the list of boycotted houses
carries now some 2,000 names. Many
of these houses, however* are tho
smaller.back yard saloons whoso busi
ness Interests are hardly worth consid
ering. Tho big Berlin saloon keepers
sun refuse to let tho boycotter* two
their assembly halls. The loss to laud
lords on this account Is heavy, although
part of it Is coveted with subsidies
from tUc landlords* association. The
lack of proper rooms for tholr anti-ring
rallies has caused tho Socialists much
inconvenience, and undoubtedly bus
kept tlielr plan of campaign within rea
sonable bounds. They threaten tho hall
owners with severe penalties as soon
as tbo'tirnln struggle vith tho brewers
shall ftose. Many owners nro receiv
ing menacing letters warning them that
they will be forced out of business if
they do uot come over to tho Social
Democracy able.
The Importation of Bavarian beer baa
Increased steadily. It is keenly felt by
the North German brewers, amoSaltf
those In Bcruu. Early in the week tbe
associated brewers of this district sent
u circular letter to tho great brewing
companies of Munich, Nuhjmberg and
Erktngeq, appealing to them not to re-
spoud to tho orders which wero sent,
and promising support In case the refu
sal'"bf such orders would luvolvu tho
southern producers In tho boycott. In
southern Germany, however they Ig
nored tli * lei I it. The northern bre wers
feel wry fioro on this point, and accuse
tholr ioMherp colleagues of willingness
to bolsTcr thd'SOdnT Democracy ns long
ns there is moucy lu it. The Social
Democrats also feel that they have
been wounded in tho houso of their
friends.
Tho number of workingmen Ignoring
the boycott increases dally. Many of
tho men find it irksome mul sometimes
impossible to make Journeys from tholr
work to some remote saloon which sells
unboyootted beer. Rather than go to
this distances they drink at tho nearest
saloon regardless of tho social democ
racy baud. The loaders recognize tlio
difficulty of dealing with such deser
tions. Temporary expulsion from tlio
party him been recommended ok tlio
only practicable penalty nnd lias been
tried in a few lnutances but has fulled
to inspire terror in the runks. UnloBH
some more effective ineaHures be found
the socialist? ehnneo of victory will
grow les* the longer the boycott lasts.
There is, In fact, a minor that tho In-
tcnlicls against several breweries will
be withdrawn tlilH month, but social
ists say tho brewers nro responHlblo
for It.
The Social Democrats commemorated
during the week the twenty-fifth anni
versary of the founding of their party.
In commenting on the central commit-
tee’** claim of 2,000.000 8octal Democratic
voter* in Germany, the Vorwaorta says:
"The rapidity *of the Social Democratic
grtwth Is unexampled In the history of
parties. The Social Demijcracy's devel
opment forms the chief factor of this
century’s dvlllzwtlon."
Theodore Wachter. tho parson who
forsook his calling to devote his ener
gies to spreading socialism, has got Into
trouble with the Social Democratic lead
ers and has been set out In the cold by
them. He wished to combine Koclollsm
and ChiistlunJty In his tcacSiLngs, nnd
the mixture excited the disgust of tho
infidels, who control the party organi
zation. He ha* gone to Dortmund to
found a party of bis awn. He will call
his followers Christian Socialists. He
says, however, the regular leaders will
regient and let him elaborate his social
theories.at the Frankfort natioital con
gress, but he to likely to be 'disap
pointed.

An amusing story is told hero of
young Queen Wjlhelmina of the Neth

were on a special train between Munich
and Wurzburg kurt Monday. Suddenly
the whlatlo for the emergency brake

lied In Alarm fivm earring? to carriage,
asking gMmbem <* the suite what the.

chief engineer then approiched ths

of guilt ill over her face, exclaimed:
"Don’t you come tr*re, I didn’t do It."
The young womnn had pull^l the sig

STORM IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Great Damage to Glass, Plants nnd
Fruit and Cattle Injured.
•Boston, Aug. 12.—The worst hall
Btormi in its history broke over th**
town of Revere yesterday. Hailstones
fell that by actual measurement varied
from 3-4 to 11-4 Inches In size, and tho
damage dona can hardly be estimated.
The roar of tho approaching storm
was heard ok\tht centra of the town,

Chicago, Aug .12.—Sir. Pullman has
decided to turn his striking tenants
Into the streets. Ho made up his mind
to evict them from their homso early,
this week. The excuso given for turn
ing the strikers out of thulr homes is
that tho houses nre needed by near
workmen whb have taken the p!ac« ct
the strikers.
There nre now nearly 100 vacant
houses of various kinds In Pullman, as
••rony, perhapa, as will be needed by
(lie new men for oome weeks. .Should
the company carry out It* programme
In this regard, and there 1* little doubt
that every striker who does not go to.
work will be put out, tho town ot Pull
man -would be almost wholly depopu
lated. It would be. say those who havo
watched the course bf the whole trou
ble, the most urtiel evlotlou this coun
try hea ever seen, It nut one of ths
moot heartless recorded In history. It
Bee-ms inevitable that no less than 6,’KX)
men, ,-women and children will bo turn
ed Intb tho streets. About l.CDO strik
ers are tenants of the Pullman Com
pany. most of them with largo fami
lies. Fow of them have paid,a dollar
of rent since tho strike has been de
clared. Slbst ol them aro on tlio point
of ntarvntlbn nnd bo poor they could
net pay am expressman to haul tlielr
goods out of iwn. The situation at
Pullman has kept on getting worso for
tho strikers who still hold out. Nearly,
1.000 pew men were employed front
down town, and 180 additional men tire
engaged to rjpopt for work tomorrow.
Tho cbmpamy will then have 1.700 men
at work, or within about 300 of tliet
number Ot exipect* to work this winter.
Tho greater number of them nre now-
ounum.
