DI.cun «ho 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, •wist on a very complete debate of the 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 to Its conclusion. Entertaining mete views, the house conferee*, did not ciueve it was necessary or-prudent for “ ucu * tomorrow to adjourn until It resolution to accept the sen- ii,. .

They w-rnia not. however, counsel It them- •elves, and if it came U would have to betht outgVjnrth of this spontnnous "raiment In the caucus. It was well, however, that a dispassionate statement " *5* base ehowing that the house lose none of its rights to pass the •mate bill by deferring notion a day or wuuid bring about a conservative ■ewuH In the caucus. Exactly what this iini* 0 wl ** he wwa not definitely out- JHJw akhough the house conferees *k ,tmt H would perhaps be beat for 2* pwueus to adjourn and wait to see Ibe senate did. Then.

If HIU resolution was defeated, and fr,*" 00 ** conferee* think there Is at !?** * n oven chance of It* defend, then conference between senate snd “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 husinesti. and Chairman Heard says be Kill endeavor to secure the passage of some Mill of pressing local Interest.

BEER BOYCOTT IN GERMANY A Vigorous Fioht Marie on Importers . of Beer by Drinkers of the Beverage. IT HAS A POLITICAL ASPECT 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. CHOLERA NOTES.

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.

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. The new clerical party In Wurtem- bnrg have published a manifesto which has caused a pjMtlcal &tlr throughout the empire. Thefo- chief demands arc the preservation of the empire, the safeguards of Wurtemburg'K Individual rights, the responrttillity of the chan cellor to the federal council, the pro- jnation of Ghrfflttan social reform, tho .

She nnd the queen regent were on a special train between Munich and Wurzburg kurt Monday. Suddenly the whlatlo for the emergency brake was pulled and the train halted abrupt ly. The Kuj.rtl« j nil chief engineer hur* lied In Alarm fivm earring? to carriage, asking gMmbem <* the suite what the. trouble was. Nobody could say. The chief engineer then approiched ths roysl saloon. The young queen leaned but of the window, nnd with the blush 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 nal merely to see what would happen. The last annual rc-»rt of the Muel- h’aeen chamber bf commerce contains a review of the recent commercial prog- resi* »>f annexed provinces, li shows that the industries; of Keichlund Have developed nupldly since the Franeo- PrusASan war.

The cotton and linen trades of the upper Rhine have alfo protested that industrial exposi tions jiave become too numerous in the provinces and probably will remain un represented at Strassburg. They nay that In general the practical benefits derived by exhibitors are usually very small In comparison, with the expense ctf <the exhibit. Berlin newspapers printed yesterday in tholr 'thrttirlad columns a neat story of Joseph Kalnz's recent performance on the stage. Kalnz had gone to Foierth to play a star engagement.

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.
