THE DEAD MAGNATE.


Charles Crocker, the millionaire, whose
decease was announced a few days ago,
was not reared in the lap of luxury, by
great odds, says the Omaha Herald. In
his youth he was obliged to do SOM tall
rustling to bring about a successful meet
ing of both ends. When 25 years OF age
he was employed as a sort of general
roustabout in a foundry at Mishawauka,
Ind. the presiding genius of the estab-
lishment being John H. Orr, uncle to
Tom Orr of the Union Pacific headquar-
ters. When the gold fever swept over
the country in '49 young Crocker was in
fected but the disease took a more mer-
camille hold than otherwise. He realized
that money was to be made in other ways
than prospecting in the hills. There was
a dearth of horses in the mining regions
and he determined to supply this in a
measure. Soliciting assistance from his
employer the latter supplied him with
sufficient funds for the purchase of a
good string of the desired equines, and
with these Croeker set u on a long and
perilous journey through a region utterly
unknown to him. But grit and push con-
quered and the prices he got for his horses
proved the wisdom of his first step toward
prosperity. He was enabled to pay off
his score with Mr.. Orr, and with the bal
ance went into a general trading business,
occasionally making a little mining spec
on the side. As time passed the proper.

death he was known by reputation through
out the country. He married while in
California, and his son, Charles F. Crock

ASHLAND, Wis, July 25.-From all
appearances there is now every reason
to believe that final arrangements will
be made in few dayS-maybe within
fortnight-for the great international
fight between Mike G. Conley, champ
ion of the Northwest, and according
to the greatest sporting authority
one of the best men in
America, and Jem Smith, the
champion of England. 1t is settled, too,
that the fight will take place across the
sea-maybe in France, Spain OF En-
gland-and Richard K. Fox, proprietor
of the Police Gazette, will back Conley,
while Mr.. Hayes will stake his money
on the result, at any rate. This the
public will have every reason to
believe from the following telegram:
The first was received by Mr.. Hayes,
Conley'S hacker and manager, yeSter-
day afternoon, and the reply, which is
also published, was Immediately sent to
New York, from where it will be wired
to Richard K. Fox, who is now in Lon
don:

They Decide That the Finance
Committee Shall Prepare
Substitute for the Mills Bill.
WASHINGTON, July ga tariff con-
ference of the Republican senators was
held at Senator EvartS' residence to-
night at which a decision was reached
that the finance committee shall prepare
tariff bill as substitute for the Mills
bill. and that it shall then be reported
to the senate and called up and passed,
regardless of the length of time this
may require. Various propositions
looking to an early adjournment
and a postponement of the tar
if battle until December were
suggested, but the arguments advanced
10y the advocates of the policy of pass
ing bill and making the direct issue
as early as possible were so strong that
the aSsemblage became emphatically
unanimous in favor of the course finally
adopted. 1t was urged that the Dem
ocratic house has taken its time and
consumed many months i'll framing and
debating the measure it had put forth and
that the Republican senate should not be
curtailed of its full liberty OF action on
a question which so vitality affected the
interests of the country and the Repub-
liean party. The finance committee
was instructed to continue its work
and bring it to conclusion as
speedily as it could consistent with
careful performance of the task allotted
to it. The bin will be ain outgrowth of
that already sketched by the sub-com-
mittee, but the views expressed by SEN
ators tonight and approved by ma
jority of the senators will doubtless
lead to some notifications and change
of details. The net reduction of reve-
hue to be attained will probably be be-
tween S65, O00, 600 and SS0,000,000.
The conference adjourned at mid
might. No one, not even members Of
the finance committee, venture to guess
now at the length OF the session.

SANITY CITY KICK ERS.
The st. Paul Foot Ball Team Laws
Out the MinneapOlitans.

The st. Paul Foot Ball club won the
first game with the Thistles, of Mime
apolis, in the final tie for the Shaw cup
at Minneapolis yesterday by a score of
2 to 1. The game was the hardest ever
fought in the Northwest. The ball was
kicked Off at O'Clock, and the
Thistles at once pressed down into
their opponents territory. Soon
the siege was raised, and the
battle was forced back into the ground
of the Minneapolitans. Very shortly
after the start Shirley got possession of
the ball and most skillfully dribbled it
down right to the Thistle's goal. and
shot it clear through. The point was
disallowed by the referee on claim of
off-side. This unfavOrable decision
nerved the st. Paulites, and in five
minutes more Brown kicked the first
allowed goal for his team. The This
ties on this made grand rush for
the st. Paul citadel, and a foul
was obtained right at the goal,
which. being kicked off, was announced
as a goal by the referee, though st. Paul
vigorously objected to such decision.
claiming foul. In the second half, the
st. Paulites, having gained their second
wind, played magnificently, and once
more the Thistles' colors were lowered
by the scientific play of Douglas and
Pollock. The play was thereafter
mainly in the Thistles' territory, but no
further scoring took place. The st.
Paul team was composed as follows:

WILL RESULT IN A WRANGLE.
New Guise Adopted by the Direct
Tax Refunding Bill.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 25. = Senator
SpOoner expects that his amendment
to the sundry civil bill, which again
brings up the question of the direct tax
refunding bill, will be reported from
the committee on appropriations next
week. Chairman Allison will not say
whether this be true or not. When the
matter comes before the senate it will
pass and go to conference committee
of both houses and result in partisan
wrangle. Democrats who opposed the
original bill do not intend to allow the
bill to pass under its new guise. Hence,
the sundry civil bill is not likely to pass
this session. Ex-Congressman Strait is
credited with originating this scheme of
Spooner's, and is therefore entitled to
the glory, if any is to be derived there
from. Oates, of Alabama, says that the
bill shall not pass with Spooner's amend
ment, no matter if filibustering again

congressman are treating Knute Nelson
with marked GOODNESS and Indifference.
They speak of him in contemptuous

only succeed in welding Nelson's de-

enunciated in the Mills bill and the
Democratic platform. Under similar
circumstances, the Republicans drove
Gen. Weaver, one of their strongest
men, into the Democratic party. They
have had many years to repent their ac-
ton. Nelson cannot be driven into any
course which does not meet his APP
Droval. He does not talk for publica-
ton, but his attitude of independence
IS more marked daily.

pound lard bill and all adulterated food
bills before the committee with instruc-

food bills, introduced by request and
referred to the senate committee on ag-
