WAS DIAz IN DANGER?
Conflicting Reports About the At
tempts to Assassinate Him.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 2s.-The
Picayune's San Antonio special
says: There are now In town

international fair which opens here

story of the attempted assassination Of

IT'S ALMOST OVER
Only Two or Three Days More of
Congress.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.-When the
senate meets tomorrow morning the re-
port of the conference committee ON the
tariff bill will be ready for presentation
and will probably be taken up at once
for consideration. How much time will
be consumed in discussion cannot be
accurately stated, for the rules of the
senate do not permit limitation of de-
bate except by unanimous consent, but
leaders on both sides were confident
Saturday that vote could be reached
by Tuesday at the farthest.
IL that proves to be the
case, then final adjournment will
follow the next day. Whatever the re-
suit, adjournment will come the day
after the report is disposed of. So far
as known, Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Nc
Pherson Gf he be we'll enough to TALK
are the only senators on the Demo
cratic side of the chamber who will
make speeches on the report. On the
submit the report, will probably answer
them. Mr.. Ingalls, had not decided to-
night whether or not to make speech.
Some discussion of the report by the Re-
publican senators who are not satisfied
with the recommendations is anticpat
ed, but how wide range it will take,or
how extended, cannot be foretold. In
addition to the tariff bill, there is only
one other measure. the general deficien-
cy bill, which is likely to receive the
attention of the senate prior to adjourn
ment, That is now pending in the
house and will be ready for conSidera
tion by the senate Tuesday. With the
single exception of the adoption of the
conference report on the general de-
ficiency appropriation bill the house
has completed its labors for the session,
and waits upon the pleasure of the SEN
ate as to the date of final adjournment.
During the time between tomorrow
morning and that date the bu SineSs
will doubtless be largely made up of
measures taken irregularly from the
calendars to which there is no pro-
nOunced opposition, 1t may be that an
effort will be made to pass the two
shipping bills sent over by the senate,
but this will be strongly resisted by the
Democrats, and unless special provision
is made for their consideration the eff
fort is likely to fail. Moreover, as there
is little prospect of the maintainance of
quOr UNI, nothing can be done without
unanimous consent

father and daughter dead within two
feet of each other. A double-barreled
breech-loading shotgun lay near Sic

said to have been Siefert's anger at
being deprived OF his daughters wages.
When Mary entered the house she
found her father sitting on a trunk
with his face buried in his hands. She
spoke to him, but received no answer.
She then turned to go into a bedroom,
when her father seized shotgun stand

barrel at her. blowing away one
side of her skull and face. The
poor girl tottered a moment and fell
backward. As she did so the blood
gushed out in torrent, deluging the
floor and her fathers face and hands.
He contemplated his awful deed for a
moment, then placing the barrel OF the
gun in his mouth, reached down
and pulled the trigger, blow
ing his head off his shoul

body fell backward over the trunk on
which he had been sitting. The hus-
band of the girl heard the double re-
port and fastened to his father-in-law's
house. The sight was too much for
him, and he is now raving maniac.
