WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The Star has
the following:
sit is said Mr.. Blaine expressed to
three senators who talked with him Sun
day, his dissatisfaction with the course
they had pursued in attempting to agree
upon a bill, and advised that even now
they change froat and let the whole re-
sponsibility for tariff legislation be with
the Democrats. He held that it wonld
be an easy matter to make the contest
before the people in opposition to the
Mills bill, but If they brought in a bill
of their own it would complieate the sit
~uation, putting them OF the defensive as
to their own measure. He urged
the enators with whom he talked, it is
said, to do all they could to bring about
II change of plan. At the conferences
held ab Mr.. Chandler's house the whole
matter was gone over. Senators who
are responsible for the plan of operation
adopted in the first place, it Is said, OBJ
jected to being called to a halt by Mr..
Blaine. The members of the finance
committee say that they are going right
on with their work and will report a bill
in time. 1t is an open secret that il a
resolution for adjournment could be got
over from the house before the bill is re-
ported, an earnest effort would be made
To rush it through the senate.

JACKSONVILLE CITIZENS REFUTE
EXAGGERATED REPORTS.
THE PLAGUE DISAPPEARING
"A Statement by the Mayor and Others
Showing Comparative Freedom of
the City from Fever-Four
New Cases Reported.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. Is. THE
following statement, signed by the citi-
zens of Jacksonville, has beer prepared
for circulation, the many erroneous and
exaggerated reports of the condition of
affairs here rendering the statement nee
essary. The signcrs vouch for the truth
of this statements: ''There nave been
TAirty-two cases of yellow fever in and
neaftbe city since the first case was in
troduced three weeks ago. These cases
have been either sent to Sands hill hos
pital or isolated at their homes. Foul of
those taken ill have died, eight recovered
and twenty are now under treatment.
During the past three days only four new
cases have occurred, II there has been
no death since Monday morning. The
most vigorous measures are being taken
to prevent the spread of The infection
and to thoroughly cleanse the city, and
it is felt an epidemic will be averted and
the disease will be stamped out within
two or three weeks. The fact that the
fever has been slow to spread beyond the
original local points, and the evident
mild character of the disease, give the
strongest reason for the belief that the
conditions are not favorable to its prog,
ress, consequently the citizens are calm
and confident. While many nave leftthe
city in accordance with the wishes of the
health authorities, there is NJ panic or
serious apprehension among those who
remain. Our people are devoting them
selves to the public service or attending
to their usual ayocations. There are,
of course, a good many laborers out of
employment, but there has been no
trouble nor disturbance among them.
Not even a. threat Of violence. Those
who are needy are being promptly looked
after by the relief committee. There
were only eleven deaths last week
in this city of more than 10000 inhabi-
tants, only n of those being from yell
low fever, and the general health of the
people of Jacksonville during the past
thirty days, and at the present, will COM
pare favorably with that of any city of
like size anywhere. While generous of
fers of aid have been rendered from diff
ferent quarters, the authorities and citi-
zens feel hat tor the present they are
able and prefer to rely on their
resources

Coke Advances.

PlfTsBuRG, Aug. 1S.-The price of coke
advanced from 81 per ton to 81. 25 per ton,
with strong indications of a still further
advance, which will likely reach the 81
mark. The demand for coke has been
very heavy lately. There is no stock on
hand and only a few unexpired orders
were placed at 81. During the past five
days there were more furnace men in
Pittsburg than there were during that
many months previously. They tried to
place contracts at ST, but failed. The
advance in price has not been an artl-
hcial one, the great demand accounting

A BOUQUET OF BONES.
Seventeen of the Deadly Missiles In a Lo.
of scrap Iron.

-5lg VI 5SLnl V .e
NEWPORT, KY, Aug. 1S.-About 10
O'Clock Friday morning aworkman at the
Newport Iron works, while sorting scrap
iron, found a piece of gas pipe seven
inches long and filed with something.
He reported the find to the secretary, A.
p. Gahr, and others. and was ordered to
continue his search. He succeeded in
discovering seventeen genuine dynamite
bombs out Of two or three tons of scrap
iron The bombs were of the Chicago
anarchist style. The superstition is that
the bombs were notplaced there with the
intention Of blowing up the works or in,
juring any connected Herewith,
but were shipped with a lot of scrap iron
from Chicago. 1t is thought the maker
of the bombs, becoming fearful of discov-
cry, hid them, and they were subsequent
ly found by innocent persons, and sold
to some junk dealer, and in this manner
found their way to the Newport Iron and
Steel works. The company has com
menced al investigation. Fifteen bombs
were carefully sunk in the Licking river
and the remaining two are exhibited in
Mr.. Yahr's office. One has been opened
and found to contain dynamite.
