How the silver Bill stands.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The silver
bill is now in the possession of the clerk
of the committee on coinage, weights
and measures and he has no authority
to surrender its custody except upon
the order of the house or the speaker.
No such order has been made by the.
house (the resolution merely expunging
the statement of the transaction from
the journal) and the speaker is not like
ly to recall it. There is no record on
the journal that any reference of the
measure has been made, and therefore
it is doubtful whether motion to dis
charge the committee of the whole
from further consideration of the meas
ure will be in order or whether the
committee on rules can report resolu-
ton fixing day for its consideration.
The journal of Wednesday, however,
not having yet been approved, some
method may be devised to cut the Cor
dian knot which now binds the silver
bill and some means may be invented
to relieve the house from it's present
dilemma.

DUNBAR, Pa, June 20.-There is not
a ray of hope or encouragement offered
the rescuing parties at the Farm Hill
mine except that they are one day
nearer the completion of their work,
which grows more difficult every hour.
The rescuing parties are digging
through the fallen wreck that reaches
to the roof and are working now with
in seventy feet of where they expect to
break into the Farm Hill mime lead
There are grave fears now of another
explosion since an occurrence of this
morning. About this morning a
heavy fall occurred in the main slope.
This shut of the draft and turned the
smoke and heat back into the cham
bers in such volumes that no man could
live. The heat in the Mahoning draft
is growing more intense, and an occa-
sional blast from the fan makes their
work bearable. This stoppage of the
draft will also shut in the gas, and
work is proceeding even more cautious
" than before.

WASHCNGTON NOTES.

The members of the Kansas delega.
ton are pouring into the house and
senate daily petitions from all portions
of the state urging legislation that will
upset the recent supreme court deci-
sion in regard to original packages.
There seems to be very wide di-
vergence of opinion held by members
of the house committee on judiciary
respecting the propriety of adopting
the Wilson original package amend
ment to the interstate commerce law.
In the house Mr. Williams of Ohio
presented the petition of ex-soldiers of
Dayton, O., for the enactment of law
prohibiting the sale, manufacture, or
importation of banners, or flags, repre-
senting the confederate flag or the red
flag of the anachist.
The commissioner of the general
land Office says no land Office can be
opened in No-Man' Land until SURVEYS
arc made and section lines run. Con-
tracts for these surveys are now being
have ever been run and in some parts
no township lines or ranges. This
will take several months.
In a report presented to accompany
the pure food bill, reported from the
senate committee on agriculture and
forestry, Chairman Paddock says:
Both houses of congress have been
deluged with petitions from the farm
ers' organizations during the present
session praying for legislation which
will compel the manufacturers of hog
products to conform to the laws of COM
mercial honesty. They complain-and
justly-that the sale of compounded
products under the name of the genu-
inc article is destroying remunera-
tive market for their hogs by
displacing millions of pounds
of pure lard with articles of cheaper
quality sold under the same name.
While eminent chemists are not agreed
that the lard compounds are deleteri-
Gus to health there can be no dissent
from the view that such articles should
be sold under their rightful names and
marketed as compounds, and not as the
simple products which they simulate.
The farmers of the country who see
their products lessened in value every
year by millions through sophistication
and misbranding and their tables as
sailed in turn with fraudulently manu-
featured food products have every rea-
son to complain that they are robbed
at every turn of the wheel"

WASHINGTON, June 20.-A full meet
ing of the senate finance committee
was held, at which the chairman, by a
strict party vote. was authorized to re-
port the tariff bill with amendments.
No formal report accompanied the bill,
nor is it certain that any bill will be
prepared. Among the principal
changes made are the following: The
glassware classifications are changed,
and "a large general reduction made;
steel rails are reduced from 1914 to
$l1.20 per ton; no bounty is to be given
for less than 500 pounds of sugar an
nually; tobacco is unchanged; slight
reduction is made in many items in the
agricultural schedule and exporters of
meat are not allowed a rebate on the
salts used in curing meats. Natural
effervescing mineral waters are made
free of duty; on cotton manufactures
the duty is reduced all through the
schedule; only slight changes are made
in wool, the principal one being
typographical error that the
house refused to correct; the
bounty for silk and silk cocoons raised
and reeled in the United States is
stricken out. Works of art are taken
from the free list and made dutiable at
30 per cent ad valorem. A limitation
of $500 as the value of the wearing
apparel that person may bring into
the United States is stricken out.
The senate finance committee also
struck out all changes made by the
house bill in internal revenue regula-
lions respecting the tax on tobacco,
manufacture of vinegar from alcohol
vapor, and the fermentation of wines,
leaving the law as it stands at present.
The internal revenue tax on opium
prepared for smoking was increased
from IS to $40 pound.

The Pine Ridge Scare.

OELRICHs, S. ID. June 19.-During
the latter part of last week settlers
who reside on the borders OF Pine
Ridge reservation became greatly
alarmed relative to an Indian outbreak
and those who reside near to Chadron
hurried to that place with their fami-
lies, while the settlers residing east of
that point in this, Fall River county,
bundled up and came into Oelrichs.
Captain Mills who is in command of
troops A and b of the Eighth cavalry,
temporarily located here, at once COM
menced to investigate the cause of the
scare, which proved utterly groundless
1t seems that after the beef issue of last
week the Indians repaired to Tepee
creek, at point some eighteen miles
from here, for the purpose OF indulg-
ing in feast, dance and horse race
Twelve different bands were represent
ed, about four hundred lodges in all
and up to Saturday evening they were
having a general, allaround good time
That evening they learned the whites
had gained the idea that the presence
of so many Indians together meant an
outbreak, and they a: once pulled up
and lit out for their several homes.
Monday American Horse, a Sioux
chief, came in for the purpose of hay
ing a talk with Captain Mills. He
said it was their intention to have re-
manned in camp several days longer,
but as soon as they learned of the scare
OF the whites they at once dispersed.
He deeply regretted the idea of such
rumor OF threatened outbreak ever
having got started, and anxiously in
quired the father of the canard.
American Horse states that the
rumor as to couriers having been sent
here from the Northern Cheyennes for
the purpose of attempting to get the
Pine Ridge Indians to leave the reser-
walton is utterly false, as none of the
northern Indians have been on the
Pine Ridge reservation this summer.

The Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The EVENING
Post says: 1T begins to look as if the
lake front will be selected as a sight
for the worlds fair. Owen +. Adds
of the worlds fair committee on
grounds and buildings will leave
Chicago tomorrow night to attend a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Illinois Central railroad to be held in
New York Wednesday. Mr.. Adds goes

lay before the Illinois Central stock
holders the plans of the directors and
submit propositions in their behalf
with reference to using the lake front
as site and the adjustment of the
legal difficulties, which at present are
bound to stand in the way
The decision of the committee on
grounds and buildings and the board
of directors to send representative to
New York on this occasion is one of
the most significant facts in reference
to the location of the words fare that
has yet come to light and shows con-
clusively that the committee on grounds
and buildings is determined to recon-
mend the lake front as a site if a
satisfactory deal can be made with the
railroad company"

In Favor of Free Wool.

Boston, Mass, June IA memo.
rial in favor of free wool has been sent
to the finance committee by the Wool
Consumers association. 1t closes thus:
LAS all the wool grown in the world
is now wanted. the American grower
could hardly be injured by a readjust-
ment of values. If, at the worst, his
product should fall slightly in price he
would be compensated soon by IA larger
and more certain demand from stimu-
lated and increased manufacture. The
half-breed mutton sleeps wool warp
works admirably with rejected wool
fibres and Montevideo leeces in filling.
Thus mutton nocks would be stimu-
lated through the importation of free
raw materials and the American con-
sumner of woolens and worsteds would
get better fabrics at prices generally
lower.

himself through the heart. Mrs.
Jones is not yet dead, and though shot

recovery. Jones' act is attributed to
temporary insanity caused by the re-
cent loss of II lawsuit in which he was
interested. No other known cause ex-
listed. For a day or two past he had
been acting strangely, but no attention
was paid to it. Jones has resided in

WASHINGTON, June 20.-President
Harrison transmitted to congress let
from Secretary Blaine upon the SUBJ

mendation thereto by the PanAmeri-
