The House Tinkering With the Tariff Bill
The President Disapproyes Two Pub
lie Buildings Bills.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Hermann, Of Ore
gun. presented to the Democracy the COM
plitpenrs OF Oregon and IL message from her
people. saying Oregon had voted for pro-
lection by 5000 majority. [Applause.]
The House proceeded with consideration
OF the tariff bill. The clerk turned over the
first page of the bill and read the next
clause of the free list: Hubs for wheels,
posts, last blocks, wagon blocks, oar
blocks, heeling blocks and all like blocks or
sticks, rough, hewn,' which Bayne moved
to strike out. He said he knew that the
ST. Louis platform would traddle the tariff
question. He predicted that although the
Democratic banner would read Cleveland
and red bandana Tremendous a%pplause]
the Republicans in November standing on a
reform platform would be victorious.
Cox had read q bulletin from the con-
~vention to the effect tina Cleveland's name
was received with a storm OF applause,
whereupon the Democratic members again
broke out in tumultuous applause. After
further debate "a motion to strike out was
rejected by a party vote.
''Staves of wood was next Considered.
After long discussion, Buchanan Of New
Jersey offered an amendment adding the
words, "in rough, straightand ~notshaved,"
which was rejected.
Payne OF Pennsylvania ironically re-
marked that the Democrats did not appear
TO gather much satisfaction from a perusal
OF the convention bulletins, and he there
fore read q number of kilograms showing
the Republican gains in Oregon, to the de-
OF the Republicans.
Larlor of Illinois replied by reading clip
pings from Oregon newspapers ~denouncing
high tariff as humbuggery. The amend
ment to strike out the paragraph was lost;
the committee rose.
The Speaker pro tenn. laid before the
House a message from the President re-
turning without his approval bills for the
erection OF public buildings at Bar Harbor,
Maine, and for the purchase of additional
ground for d building at Council Bluffs,
Iowa. The announcement of the veto OF
the first named bill was received with
laughter by the Republicans.
The conferees on the bill relating to
postal crimes presented their. report and
the Senate amendments were agreed to.

THERE is something inexplicable in
the fact of an old resident Of Butte like
John c. O'Brien, who has been a conspic-
nous figure hereabouts for years, a well
known prospector and locator of mines,
being arrested at this late day for a
crime alleged to have been committed
seventeen years ago in Utah. Up to a
comparatively recent period Mormon
freighters were coming up here all the
time, and he was by no means living a
secluded existence, so that his identifi-
cation then would seem to have been
more natural. The parties by whom he
was recognized as the former Keller have
been residents here for some time and
must have been aware of O'Brien's pres
ence and seen him long before his arrest.
Ii the identity of O'Brien is established
with the desired Keller, it will be an
other instance Of the impunity with
which a malefactor could remain in the
neighborhOOd of his misdeeds and escape
detection in the West.

The crime for which Hoppe was az
rested by Deputy Sheriff Crawford on
Canadian soil, as announced in a Fort
Benton special yesterday, was a most
cold blooded affair. He had been given
free transportation in a wagon by the
two men, Brede and Adams, and while
the former was away from their camp
about nine miles from Conrad, Hoppe
attacked Adams with a revolver, shooting
him three times, with robbery as his OBJ
ject, and fled before Brede returned. His
capture is creditable under the circum-
stances, and Deputy Crawford acted the
part of Old Sleuth with commendable
perseverance.

SIS. LOUIS, June 5.-The Thurman ques-
ton with the Ohio del CATION was a SUBJ
lect OF much contention to-day. The dele
CATION went into prolonged session during
the afternoon and passed resolution after
resolution OF Endorsement, but still there
were members who would not fall in line.
Robert Blee held back d 'ong time and it
required the adoption of the unit rule to
lead him from his opposition. No sooner
had this rule been adopted than John
Brady was IN his feet. He said: Gen
tlemen, you may adopt any rule you like,
but L came from Cincinnati to oppose the
nomination OF Thurman. You may throw
me out ofthe caucus orjntimate my presence

but nevertheless [ go to the convention and
take my seat as a delegate, and when the
State is called [ will vote against Thur
man." The determination caused confu-
sion and there were dire threats made, but
to no purpose. Finally the resolution was
adopted releasing Brady from the binding
unit rule and he will act Independently. In
conversation he was more cautious, but
still strong opposition showed itself in this

THE nomination of Fuller to be Chief
Justice hangs fire in the Senate, some
charges against him by 9 Dr.. vDHHllery
OF Chicago, concerning his action as a
jury commissioner in 1881 being the
cause OF delay. 1t is safe to conclude
that the Senate Committee on Judiciary
will make some excuse for refusing to
pass on the nomination at this session.

me greater pain and heartburning than
the wild, warlike intentions that are at

peaceable as the Emperor William was,
and for people to imagine that lever

absurd"

THERE are not wanting those who
think Thurman too good a man to put on
the second place of the Democratic
ticket. As the San Francisco Examiner
points out:
a1sn sTIgTUIuT auIDIU10n. 1t is q great Of
nee in itself, and still greater in it's posi-
bilities. MI. Hendricks COZ sented to take
a nomination for it when he had a right to
aspire to the first place, and when the head
OF the ticket was comparatively unknown.
Now that MI. Cleveland has made himself
the unquestiOned leader of the Democratic
party, there is no Democrat too great TO
help him carry the standard to victory.
The party in Indiana is divided. Allen G.
Thurman a unite it as no Indiana man
can. He is stronger than Gresham in Hi
nois, stronger than Sherman in Ohio, and
he can make the Pacific coast safe, even
against Blaine.

THE JULIA BORE.
II Work of Restoration Impeded by Con-

The Work of Restoration Impeded by Con-
stantly Recurring Slides.
From u gentleman who recently visited
the Mullan tunnel it is learned that the
great bore is as far from restoration, al
most, as on the 26th of April, when it was
closed by fire. The cause OF it all is that
the solid rock is at least a hundred feet
from the west entrance, and that the for
nation between is OF a limestone character,
that it is questionable if even solid mason
ry could stay. The immense weight of this
mass brushes like pipestems the heaviest
tlmbers that cau be cut. The work had to
be excavated afresh from the west entrance
where the ground had caved for a consider
able The timbering had proceed
ed eastward a distance of thirty or forty
feet, when in consequence OF rains the mass
OF limestone slid and destroyed the most of
the timbering. There has been more than
one OF such caves, one occurring last
week, in which several men were
caught, n they had barely been rescued |
when several thousand tons of dirt gave
way and were precipitated on the spot. |
This last cave has almost blocked IN the |
entrance as badly as ever. Only a few
feet OF the timbering at the entrance is
standing. The conclusion is inevitable that
open cut will have to be substituted for
The tunnel as far east as the solid rock at
east. Had this been realized at the time
the fire, it would be now near compile.
Even this, however, will involve a
arge expenditure Of money, as the cut
would require to have a gradual Stone to
'void the sides sliding down in wet weather
Ind involve the removal of thousands of
ons OF dirt. fhe informant OF The MINER
'nly gave this as his impression, net pro-
essing to know the intentions OF the Nor tn
IN Pacific officials. L
