Senator Kenna's fifty thousand increase
for Kanawha was successfully defended
in conference. The passage Of the bill

an unusual issue. The Senators were
beaten in two or three OF their strongest
intrcnchments.
The struggle over the Navy bill, the
Sundry Civil and the big deficiency bills
is now uppermost in Importance and
especially interesting. A contest is go
ing on over the first appropriation to pay
judgments OF the Court OF Claims in the
French spoliation cases.
Atlantic coast members, North and
South, are uniting against the interior

first appropriation. Twenty millions

Embrace-sunday Closing In
;IrcIand Other News.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 20.-0n the ar
rival OF the German squadron at Cron-
stadt, yesterday, the yacht Hohenzol-
lern, bearing Emperor William, steamed
into position close to the United States
steamer Enterprise. at anchor, only one
vessel separating the yacht from the
American war ship. The Enterprise ar-
rived in the harbor yesterday morning.
The German Emperor was first well
coined by the Grand Duke Alexis, who
was taken to the Hohenzollern in the
state barge. As he mounted the ladder
to the Hohenzollern's deck he was met
by the Emperor and warmly embraced.
Emperor William and Prince Henry
then entered the barge and were rowed
to the Russian Imperial yacht Alexan-
dra, on which the Czar awaited the arri-
val OF his visitor. The two Emperors
met at the gangway and embraced and
kissed each other several times.
NJ. De Giers, the Russian Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, Gen. Won Schweinitz,
the German ambassador, and Col. Won
Villaume, the Military Attache OF tho
German Embassy ut st. Petersburg,
were present at the meeting.
During the voyage from Cronstadt to
Pcterhof, Emperor William convcrscd
at length with NJ. De Giers, while the
Czar talked with Count Herbert Bis
marck, the German Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. Afterward the two Emper0rs
had long talk together. No toasts
were offered at the state dinner given in
honor OF Emperor William at Peterhof.
Emperor William afterwards went for
drive, in company with the Czarina and
the Duke and Duchess Vladimir.
The whole Russian press are convinc-
cd that the meeting OF the Emperors
will inaugurate new era Of peace, and
feel hopeful that Russian interests will
now be considered. The NOuOe HremyG
warmly welcomes the Emperor's visit
and congratulates Germany upon the
success OF her efforts to become mari

A NEW MARKET FOR COKE
Big Orders from New FoundIand
for ConneIIsvilIe.
A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT
That May Result in Giving IN Impc'
tus to the Industry-An Tndica-
tion the business VIII
Improve Hercnbouts.

PlrrsBuRan, Pa, July 20.-A new
market has been discovered for coke
From present indications English coke
is likely to be superseded with the
result that decided improvementin the
coke trade in this section may be ex'
pected.
The new market is at Newfoundland
Some time since an effort was made to
sell Conuellsville coke in that section
and an order for 900 tons was secured
by the firm OF ]. N. Schoonmaker & Co
It's merits were to be compared with
those Of the English coke. The latter is
brought across the ocean as ballast in
the vessels, and consequently cal be de
liyered at low figure. 1t was out oi
the standard quality, however, for fonn-
dry and other furnaces, and trial was
given the Connellsville coke.
The coke is used for smelling ores and
in foundries. The experiment proved
very successful, and few days ago an'
other order WIS given for 1000 tons, as
it was found to be cheaper Us to results
than the coke from the Durham district
in England. The coke will be shipped
from the Connellsville region to Perth
Amboy, n. j., and from there to New
Fouudland by vessel. 1t has been cal
culated that it can be delivered at cost
of little over s. ton. The order is
expected to be followed by others, and
the Indications are that ultimately it will
be used entirely in New Foundland TO
the exclusion OF the English coke.
The coke operators consider the new
market rs an indication that the business
will greatly improve. At present there
is stagnation in the market and it is
being sold for one dollar per ton. The
signing of the scale by so many iron
firms and the expected ending OF the
lockout is also expected TO cause big in
crease in the demand for coke and an
advance above the dollar line.
There has been nothing definite done re-
Gently towards forming new syndicate.
The matter has not been dropped, how.
ever, and some OF the operators are OF
the opinion that before long an agree
ment will be signed by which all the
operators will be bound TO maintain
prices. II this is done all OF the ovens,
about 40 per cent, that have been shut
down for months will probably be put
i'll operation.

HAMMERED DYNAMITE.
A Four.Yenr.OId Chiid'S Miraculous Es-
cape from Instant Death.

A Four.Yenr.OId Chiid'S Miraculous Es-
cape from Instant Death.
PORTSMOUTH, Ono, July 20.-A loud
report, us OF revolver exploding, at
tracted large crowd to East Eleventh
street yesterday afternoon. In the gutter
lay Emil Lauchbaum, little four.year-
old toddler, suffering intense agony and
pain. Near by was an empty dynamite
cartridge that told the whole story too
plainly. He had been playing in the
street, and in some way came into pos
session OF several dynamite cartridges.
Seating himself on the pavement, child
like, he went to hammCring one OF the
death dealing instruments, when it cx-
ploded, hurting him into the gutter. An
examination showed his left arm and leg
badly torn and burned and internal in
juries were sustained which may prove
fatal. The cartridges, on being shown
to dynamite experts, were pronounced
as being sufficient to blow man to
pieces. For the child to escape instant
death is considered miraculous. Where
the child procured the cartridge is q
mystery. The city is full Of them, and
great excitement prevails. The police
arc endeavoring to locate where the sup
ply comes from. This is the third acci.
dent TO happen from such explosives
within n month.

IS II A MURDER2

Tho Strange Disappearance of Mrs. Lem
hart, OF 0IuskinGum County, o.
ZANEsvILLE, o., July 20.-on July 4th
last Henry Lenhart. wealthy farmer at
Fultonham, informed his neighbors that
his wife ran away from him the Friday
night previous. A few days later in
proof of his story he produced a letter
dated Newark, Ohio, which implied that
she had gone to lead life OF shame. 1t
was also learned that he told widely
conflicting stories OF the occurrences Of
the night she left, cOnfessing to some
that he got home about midnight and
quarrelcd with his wife and struck her,
after which he said she left. The neigh
bors telegraphed her relatives and friends
and all replied that nothing had been
seen or heard Of her by them. For the
past week Fultonham has been in tur-
moil OF excitement. The people have
no doubt that Mrs. Lenhart has been
murdered, and searching parties have
been securing the country about, so fur
without finding a trace. To-day the wa
ter is to be drawn off the dams in Jona-
than creek, and a more thorough search
made. Lenhart maintains dittident
attitude, asserting that his wife is alive,
and has deserted him. No arrest has
vet been made.

So BuiInlo Bill PrunounGes mn Alleged
Agent For Him.
CINCINNATI, July 2O.-Some days ago
there arrived in this city young man
who gave his name MS George Larrance.
He announced himself MS contracting
agent for Buffalo Bills Wild West.
He was dressed well, but rather
llashily, and possessed to an eminent
degree 'the gift of gab." He was well
posted on the affairs OF the show he
claimed to represent, and presented
cards announcing his connection with
the same. He promptly had himself
interviewed in the afternoon papers, and
told how the Wild West, while it was
intended to take n trip to Australia, was
ANXIOUS TO VISIT CINCINNATI.
This was his leverage, and he immcdi-
ately began visiting hotels, butcher
shops, feed stores aud other places
which derive benefit from the visit Of
such nm organization and negotiating
with them for supplies, etc.
He had all the appearance OF author.
ity, so that he easily secured rccogni-
tion.
Like all transgressors he erred.
He went into John Sullivan's saloon,
aud thereby hangs tale. He was ex-
ccedingly voluble and ratified Off tho
good points OF his story with the grace
and ease OF statesman.
This attracted Mr.. Sullivan's atten-
ton and brought back remembrance of
similar lad who had come into our
midst about year ago, heralding him
self rs Mr.. Vanderbilt, n cousin Of the
railroad magnate, and financially inter
ested in Broncho Johns Wild West,
which was, he said, about to honor the
city with visit. He represented this
show just, us he said, for mere lark.
His scheme was TO close with somebody
for furnishing meat, hay, etc, and then
secure q small loan upon the same. He
was here for some little time, but it was
never learned whether lie obtained any,
thing. The show, however, never came.
In Cleveland he followed the same
dodge, and from Mr.. ]. +. Molitor, a
business friend Of Mr. Sullivan, $50 on II
contract made for the exclusive rcfrcsl-
ment privileges OF the show. This tho
latter learned while on visit to the
Forest City. Broncho Johns Wild
West also failed to materaIize at that
city.
He had no trouble in recognizing the
young fellow, and
SUSPICIOUS WE'RE AROUSED
Immediately when he got one of his
cards and saw the name upon it. When
he put some questions to him Larrance
winched very perceptibly under the
cross.fire, although denying knowing
such man.
In the meantime, Harry Gilbert, who
had given the aerial exhibitions with
the Buffalo Bill Wild West, had heard
of the Sullivan episode, and putting Il
and other matters together, he concluded
that something was wrong. He tele.
graphed Cody inquiring II they had an
agent here, and promptly received this
answer:
"He is n fraud. CoDY & SALISBURY
II any legal measures to end his On.
reer were. intended they were cut short
by the information that he had skinned.
1t is known that he closed some con.
tracts, but an effort to discover Il he bad
secured any money on them was unsuc.
cessinl, as none Of the interested parties
could be found.
