WASHINGTON, d. C., July 26.-The re-
suit of last nights conference of the Re
publican Senators, in regard TO action on
the tarlff instead of settling the policy Of
the majority party in the Senate has really
made the matter more confusing than
ever. A number of Senators were by no
means convinced, that to report bill
would be good policy, and they are no
more convinced, now that such will be
the case. Notwithstanding the action
of the conference, which en-
braced % of the 80 Republican Senators
il is vet matter of doubt whether q tariff
bill will be discussed and voted upon be-
fore the adjournment. There are dozen
devices by which ID can be shelved in an
exeusable way and without calling another
conference 10 reverse the decision OF last
night, such as protrscting the debate until
the House is wearied out in awaiting the
end, and then agreeing to an adjournment
as q matter of accommodation to the men,
bers of the other House. So doubtful has
become the expediencies of reporting bill
that another conference will be called this
week to devise o scheme to get the Repub-
licans out of the hole in which they have
voluntarily placed themselves.
Much Of the pressure brought to bear
upon Republican Senators 10 report bill
comes from Republicans in the House, who
with no direct responsibility now that the
question has b,en disposed Of in the
House, want the Senate to propose sub
stitute for the Mills bill, which the defec-
ton of Kelly, and the heretical views of
the members from the Northwest prevented
them from doing, Both Quay and Sher-
man are against Introducing q tariff bill,
and discussing it, and have been from the
first. These two Senators know more
about practical politics than all the rest of
their Republican colleagues put together,
but the fatuous advice of such fellows as
HiscOck and Platt has outweighed them.
The two Kansas Senators are against
bill, because their constituents are against
the Republican policy toward sugar, but
they will swallow it even If the tariff is
reduced one-half A compromise has
been suggested in order to conciliste the
Kansas interest, namely, to put sugars
on the free list when imported from
countries, admitting the farm products OF
the United States froe.

Farmer Anderson's Seventh Day In HIs

OMAHA, NEB., July 26.-The latest ad.
vices from Johnstown are to the effect
that John Anderson is still imprisoned in
the we'll there. The rescuing party were
confident of getting him ont Tuesday
night, but just as they reached the point
where Anderson's rescue seemed certain
they were compelled to cease to save them
selves. They were 60 near Anderson that
he could see their light. He asked them
not to extinguish it, but leave it so he
could look at it.
An experienced well digger is now on
the ground. He went down into the re-
Gently dug we'll and conversed with the
prisoner. He says he is all right and
thinks he can stand it twenty-four hours
longer. He had good supply OF tobacco
when entombed, and to satisfy his thirst
sucks the moisture from the boards around
him. A third well has been started, and
the experienced well digger, Archer, is
confident Anderson will be rescued alive.
The third well is now down forty feet.
Men are down in the second we'll all the
time 10 encourage Anderson. He has been
in the Well seven days.

WASHINGTON, July % Congressman
Wilson returned this morning from Pied
mont and was in the House early to-day,
receiving the congratulations of his friends
on his denomination. Mr.. Wilson's re
nomination afforded more qualification ap-
parently to members on the Democratic
side of the House than that of any other
member, who 30 far has been similarly
honored. General Goff was also in his seat
again to-day. He thinks that the stormy
time had in the convention at Parkorsburg
yesterday will result in giving the Fourth
District to the Republicans. However, the
wish is probably the father to the thought.
Senator Kenna is making his arrange
ments to 20 to New York next week to at
tend . meeting of the National Democratic
Campaign Committee. Quite number Of
prominent Democratic Senators will &C.
company him. 1t is understood that Mr..
Kenna is to be made member Of the Ad-
visory Committee. 1t is understood, also,
that the senior West Virginia Senator will
probably surprise everybody by making
another great speech at an early day. 1t
will be on some other subject than the
tariff, and will attract quite as much at
tention as one he delivered in reply to Sem
ator Edmunds last session.

CLEVELAND, o., July 26.-The upper
ten of Cleveland society are discussing an
interesting romance just now. They are
telling how a beautiful young lady Of
Chatham, Ont, who has been visiting here
for some time, refused to marry Russian
uobleman.
The couple met in Germany two years
ago on railway train which had been
stalled in a snow storm. He was Col.
Count Hoffenberg, and adiutant on the
staff of the Gar and member of a noble
family. The correspondence ensued, and
three weeks ago the Count came TO Cleve-
land TO meet the young lady BY appoint
ment. Dinners were given at the hotel,
and he was in turn entertained ny her
friends, but all his professions of love were
in vain, and few days aimee the young
lady LETT for Canada and the Count depart
ed s0rrowfully for Bussia. The young
lady's friends refuse to permit the use OF
her name.

JACKSON HARMONY.
THE FOURTH DISTRICT DEMOCRACY UNITED
AND ENTHUSIASTIC.
Ahsr-Math From the Congressional Convention
Judge JacksOn's Name Will be q Tower
Of Stength-An Aid 10 the
Local Tickets.

Special Telegram TO the Register.
PARKERsBURs, July 26.-Parkersburg
is elated over the nomination to Congress
of one of her most distinguished sons.
The feeling of satisfaction among Democrats
is general, while it strikes dismay in the
Republican ranks. Judge jackson is by
all odds the strongest nominee for Wood
county and for the whole northern
end of the district. His name will be q
tower of strength. Senator Sweeney pre-
dicted yesterday, that with his name on
the ticket, the Fifth Senatorial District,
which is ordinarily Republican, would be
carried for the Democracy by handsome
majority. A prominent Democrat said to
the REGISTER representative: Judge
jackson is two hundred votes stronger
than his party in Wood county" Hon.
Lyndssy Merrill, who is one of the most
popular Democrats of Writ county, and
candidate for the Legislature, said: II
am rejoiced at the nomination Of Judge
Jackson, for the sake of the Democracy
of my county. 1t means that Writ
will redeem herself from Republicanism
next fall. 1t will be a great aid TO the
local tickets throughout this section"
The adherents of Messrs. Gibson and
Hogg, who remain here to-day profess the
utmost satisfaction. They say 1--WE have
made our fight, and we eall for jackson
now." The contest in the convention, while
warm and highly dramatic at times, was
conducted in such spirit as toleave no
harsh feelings behind. State Senator B.
Fl. Oxley, who led the Lincoln county del
egation, and was one of Congressman
Hogg's most trusted leutenapts, says:
''Of course Judge Jackson will be elected
and by big majority, too. The Demo
Gratis are in dead hard earnest, and mean
to vote the whole ticket from Cleveland
down, and no failure to get o personal
choice in convention will cause the loss of
votes at the polls. never saw more en-
thusiasm and determination to win than
exists among the Democrats in my section
Of the State"
The numerous topper has already begun
to make himself heard. They are all one
way. At least hall q dozen prominent
Republicans of this city have expressed
their intention to vote for the Democratic
nominee, and there are many more to
come. Mr.. M. M. Prettyman, off st. Marys,
and former editor of the Republican
PAPER there is out enthusiastically
for the Judge, and says he will have his
support to the end. These are bat sample
expressions of the sentiment that prevails
on every hand. So general ia the belief
that Judge Jackson will have walk-over
that it is confidently stated that neither
o. B. Smith nor DR.. Barbee, the two
strongest Republicans in the district, will
he candidate against him. Their refusal
to run deprives the Republican party of it's
available Congressional timber and leaves
them in very bad shape.
A careful survey Of the field leads to but
one conclusion-that Judge Jackson will
certainly roll up such majority for the
Democracy az has not been known in many
q year.

Receives Two Large Delegation of Callers
Yesterday.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 26. Over two
thousand strangers paid their respects and
shook hands with General Harrison to-day.
The principal delegation came from Clay
county, Ind, and vicinity, and was COM
posed of coal miners aud other citizens,
nearly all OF whom are interested in min
ing industries. Conspicuous in the dele
gason were q hundred or more negco
miners. 1t was by far the most
imposing demonstration that has been
made by any outside delegation, and was
under the auspices of THE Harrison
Miners Club, of Brazil, and partook large
ly of labor demonstration.
Msj. NJ. w. Carter, of Brazil, delivered
the eongratulstory address at University
Park, to which Gen. Harrison responded
to as follows:
GENTLEMEN AND FRIENDS FROM CLAY
COUNTY, thank you for your en-
thusiastic demonstration Of your interest.
You come ~ I understand from all pur-
suits to declare that iu your opinion, your
interests as farmers, as miners, as me-
chanics, rs tradesmen, are identified with
the maintenance of the doctrine Of pro-
lection to American industries, and the
preservation of the American market for
American products.
General Harrison then proceeded to
make an argument for high protective
tariff. Another delegation from Bloom
ipgton was inmedistely afterwards pre-
sentes him and no made short address.

The Cost to the Company of the Burliog-
ton Strike.
CHICAGO, July 26.-SpeakiDg with
reference TO the claims made by the Bur-
lington strikers that the strike has cost
thatISsd $4,000 Paul Morton says it
is not true.
''The strike has cost us lots of money"
he said, ''and we expected it would when
we refused to accede to the demand Of the
men. I suppose the strike has cost us
81, 500, 900 and $4,000 900. They
base their estimate upon the reports of
1887 and 1888. A year ago the Bur-
lington did the largest business in
its history. Rates were high and there
were immense amounts of grain to be
transported. This years business has
been dull with all the lines, notwithstand-
ing the fact that our competitors had tenn
porarily portion of our business. The
Rock Island shows shrinkage of nearly
1000, 900, and the other roads are in the
same boat.
"Our stock has held its own against all
attacks, and we are now transacting our
full share of business. Everyone is salts
fed with the freight and passenger service
that is being rendered, except the men
who went on strike. l am sorry that
our success has had the effect of driving
them to desperation"
