sixty millions of dollars, and that will pre-
yentany dangerous accumulation of money,
which IS one of the reasons urged for the
passage of the Mills bill They assert that
the passage of the Democratic tariff bill
will paralyze half the industries of the
country, while this bill will not affect any
interest at all, except that of sugar, and
will etfectually reduce the surplus.
THE CALIFoRNIANs DO NOT LIKE IT.
The Kansas and California Representa-
tives are great objectors to the scheme be-
ing carried through. They say that the
repeal of half the sugar duty will destroy
the growing sugar interests of these States,
and that competition will be 50 fierce that it
will be crushed out OF existence. Other
Republican members, however, who are
desirous of Offering substitute to morrow,
reason with them that they ought to be
willing to make some sacrifice for the good
OF the party, and that if the tax is reduced
one-halt 1t will still leave sugar protected
II per cent. which is more than the aver
age protection afforded by the Mills bill.
The discussion over the question tonight
was long and earnest. The California
members were easily convinced that il
would be best for their interest to assent 10
this proposition, but the Kansas men
could not see it i'll that light. At the pres
ent time the conference is still in session,
and 1t is not determined whether the prop
position will be carried or not.
CoRNERGNG THE DEMOCRATS.
Republican leaders say that they will not
offer substitute unless the party is practi-
cally united, and that it would be useless
for them to introduce any measure and not
have the full strength OF the party to vote
for it. If they can command the full party
vote, they claim that it will put the Demo
erals in the alternative of either accepting
the proposition or else showing that they
are not SO desirous of reducing the surplus
as of reconstructing the entire tariff sys-
tenn. In either event the Republicans hope
to maze good deal of party capital.
Should it be decided to offer this substi-
tute tomorrow, the motion will be made
Immediately after Mr.. Mills moves the
final passage of his bill, when Reed or
some other Republican member of the
Ways and Means Committee, will move to
amend by recommitting the bill to the
Ways and Means Committee with instruc-
ions TO report back the Republican substi-
tute. Should that motion be carried, the
Republican bill will of course be adopted :;
but should the vote be against it, the Mills
bill will be taken up and passed.

Denial of the Report that Mackay Has
Sold His Cable Interests.
Copyright, 1858, blythe California Associated Prcss
New YORK, July 20th.-Vice President
de Castro, of the Commercial Cable Com
pany, denies the sale of the cable to Gould.
President Green, of the Western Union,
says the report is untrue. 1t probably arose
from negotiations concerning the advance
in cable rates. Negotiations TO that end
have been pending some time with Mackay
through his lieutenants here. The rates
have all been settled between the compa-
nies, and will soon be published. Mackay
is fair minded man, who does as he agrees,
and acts in good faith Benefits interest
in the cable is about 81, 900 600.
Gould Gould have made such a pur-
chase for private speculation outside of his
connection with the Western Union ?''
A few years ago" replied Green, he
possibly might, but in his recent state of
health l consider it extremely improbable.
He met Mackay twice last yesr-once in
Europe and once on this side-and those
think were only personal conferences"
ABSOLUTELY FALSE.
General Superintendent Ward, of the
Commercial Cable, denies that Mackay has
sold his cable to Jay Gould. He says the
report this morning published here 20 that
effect is absolutely false.

Aerial TelegraphY.

According to Professor Gould's investi-
cation, it appears that aerial telegraph
wires on poles, transmit electricity at the
rate of from $4,000 to 10000 miles per
second, and that the velocity of transmits
sion increases with the distance between
the wires and tie earth, or, in other words,
with the hight of suspension; and the sub
terranean wires, like submarine cables,
transmit with reduced rapidity. Again,
while wires suspended at feeble hight
are known to transmit signals at velocity
Of some $4,000 miles per second, those that
are suspended higher give velocity OF
from $4,000 to 24,000 miles Wheatstone's
claim of 2SS,000 miles in his experiments
appears never to have been confirmed.

Discovery of Another Sensational An
archIst Plot.

archIst Plot
CHICAGO, July 20th.-Inspector BOnfield
has in bis possession copies of a secret cir
cular differing but little from the famous
" revenge" circular which called the Hay
market meeting together two years ago.
The paper, which is termed The Revenge,
calls for active steps on the part of the old
time Anarchists to avenge the execution Of
Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Engel and Fischer
1t is believed the discovery of this sheet
will lead to the arrest of prominent An
archists, not only in Chicago, but all over
the country.
Inspector Bonfield said this afternoon
that the paper has been started for the pur-
pose OF working up the passions of the An
archists to such a point that they would
not sop az anything to ayenge what is
termed the blood thirsty murder of the
martyrs" Certain articles are printed IN
three languages, and urged that all true
Anarchists should take vigorous steps to
intimidate the exponents of monopoly,
and thus prevent a similar murder.

GENUINE TARIFF REFORM.
The Republicans to Offer Substitute for
the Mills Bill To-day.

Copyright. 1885, by the California Associated Pressj
WASHINGTON, July 20th.-The Republi-
can members of the House have at last
decided to offer substitute tor the Mills
bill tomorrow, and they will do so if the
members of the party can be united on
proposition that is proposed by the Repub-
hcan members of the Ways and Means
Committee. A conference has been in pro-
gress all this evening at the rooms of Re-
preventative Mckinley of Ohio, at which
were present Butterworth of Ohio, Burrows
of Michigan, Gaff of West Virginia. Reed of
Maine, Morrow and McKenna of California.
and some of the Kansas Representatives.
THE SCHEME PROPOSED
By the conference is very simple, and con-
sists merely of three subjects: First, to
reduce the tax on sugar one-half; second
to repeal the tax on alcohol used in the
arts, and third TO repeal the internal rev.
enue tax on all forms OF manufactured
tobacco, except cigars. This, it is said,
will effectA saving of $50, ,000 900. The object
of the Republicans in offering an affirm
atiye proposition tomorrow is to escape
from the stigma that they are really not
desirous of reducing the surplus.
They claim that if this proposition is ac-
cepted there need be no fear of a surplus,
as it will take out of the Treasury at least
